Metropolitan Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox Church's foreign relations department, explained that the Russian Church did not want to hold two landmark events - the international interfaith summit and the long-expected meeting between the heads of the two churches- simultaneously, reported the news agency.
He said, however, that Pope Benedict XVI expressed his support for the summit.
The summit, an initiative of the Moscow Patriarchy, seeks to bring together religious leaders representing Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Taoism and Hinduism to discuss how world religions could help give a moral response to the challenges the world is facing. The leaders are expected to draw up a final statement to present to a meeting of the G8 in July in St. Petersburg, Russia.
The Catholic representatives expected to attend include Cardinal Paul Poupard, head of the pontifical councils for Culture and for Interreligious Dialogue; Cardinal Walter Kasper, head of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity; and Bishop Joseph Werth of the Transfiguration Diocese in eastern Russia.
Tensions between the Roman Catholic and Russian Orthodox Churches were exacerbated in February 2002, when the Orthodox Church accused the Vatican of a modern Catholic invasion of Russia after it created four new dioceses. The Vatican, however, has said it is merely restoring church structures that existed before Soviet communism.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Thaddeus, a Acme Domestic Longhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in Acme, or seeking a Domestic Longhair cat from a breeder in Acme.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Acme already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Acme breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Acme paves the way for another one to be saved.

The Colosseum: Reflex, Vengeful Gladiator {WoW}
Aug 14th 2008 5:38AM I felt compelled to pop in and clarify some of the gross misrepresentations Reflex made of Hoodrych and I (the Shaman/War he alluded to in his article). Neither of us have ever respecced just for the sake of gaining a trivial advantage vs Druid/Rogue. As for the references to PvE gear, I wore about two extra pieces than normal, placing me at around 370 resilience. Conversely, Reflex was decked out in 4+ pieces of T6, a Warglaive, and Vorrent sported at least two pieces of T6.
As for the actual games, Reflex/Vorrent aren't particularly good. I'm not being pompous, just blatantly honest. I've fought Druid/Rogues that were infinitely better than them on BG9 at the 2100 level (e.g.: Saris/Happyminty). The primary reason why we were able to do so well versus them for the first 20 games was simply because I could heal drink in front of Reflex all game long, literally right next to him some times, while he tunnel visioned on Hoodrych. It was not until Hoodrych, wanting to have more competitive matches, pointed out to Reflex the fact that Rogues have an ability called "Throw Weapon" that Reflex even began using it to prevent me from heal drinking, and even then, very sparingly.
I'm normally not this critical of a player, but after witnessing how arrogant Reflex is, and unjustifiably so, given his mediocrity, I had little choice.

Taliban parade capture Pakistani soldiers in Swat
Captured Pakistani soldiers. BBC photo. Click to here to view more images. |
The situation in Pakistan's Northwest Frontier Province has grown markedly worse over the past 24 hours. One day after the military claimed to have killed 70 Taliban in Swat and denied its soldiers were captured, the Taliban paraded 48 captured paramilitary soldiers from the Frontier Corps.
The captured soldiers surrendered after being surrounded by a large formation of Taliban troops. Upwards of 700 troops surrounded a hilltop in Swat, Dawn reported. The soldiers were airdropped on the hilltop days ago and have been besieged since then. The BBC stated an additional 100 Pakistani troops have deserted in Swat.
Last week, Indian intelligence reported the Pakistani military is widely demoralized by the fighting, as well as the abductions and beheadings at the hands of the Taliban and al Qaeda in the Northwest Frontier Province. Taliban attacks against government troops outside the Northwest Frontier Province have also eroded the morale of the Pakistani soldier. Just yesterday, a Taliban suicide bomber struck bus carrying air force personnel in Punjab province, killing at least eight. The fighting in Swat began after a suicide bomber attacked a convoy in the district, killing 30.
The BBC also reported the Taliban is openly in control of strategic regions of Swat. "A major business centre on the road that connects Mingora with the tourist resorts of Madyan, Miandam and Kalam, Charbagh is in Taleban control," the BBC noted. "Taleban militants were seen directing the traffic on the road. There was an air of jubilation among them after the news that Khwazakhela, another important town 27km north of Mingora, had fallen to the militants. One of them was distributing sweets to commuters on the road."
Pakistani military statements concerning the events in the Northwest Frontier Province have not been reliable. Yesterday the Pakistani military denied the soldiers were captured. "But the forces were well-entrenched and well-positioned and they responded with full force, inflicting massive casualties on the militants," said provincial Home Secretary Badshah Gul Wazir. "Our reports are that they suffered between 60 and 70 casualties. They were literally running down the hill." The Taliban claimed it lost seven fighters.
When over 300 Pakistani soldiers were captured in South Waziristan, the Pakistani military denied they were captured for several days until the fact could no longer be hidden. The military has also deflated the number of casualties taken in the Northwest Frontier Province.

You can't help but think Pakistan is as dangerous if not more than Iran and they are supposed to be allies. That country is one bullet or well placed IED away from chaos.

I found this map among the others that I posted last week. It is an ethnographic map showing Pashtu areas on both sides of the Pakistan / Afghani boarder. The Pashtu areas of the map pretty well match the extent of the current Taliban insurgency with the exception of a few areas at the foothills of the mountains.
Pashtu Ethnographic Map
The loss of Swat will mean the Taliban will have access to most of the Mountainous north including none Pashtu areas. Those areas to the north fall within the next six months if not before that.
I expect an intensifying terror campaign within Pakistan over this winter. What follows depends on how weak the government is. The Islamists may succeed in overthrowing the government directly through assassinations. If that does not produce immediate results, I expect them to move on Peshawar and possibly open a front in the mountains directly north of the capitol of Islamabad.
Of course the situation is much more complicated. What will be the reaction of the various other political factions and ethnic groups? Much of the Punjabi military establishment is sympathetic to furthering Islamic influences within the Pakistani government. I'm not sure that the radicalized form of Islam brought in with Al Qaeda and an invasion of Taliban led Pashtu warriors was what they had in mind though. I'm also not sure US pressure to bring in Benazir Bhutto, a Sindhi politician, into the government will help much either. The Sindhi political block finds itself odd man out in the current arrangement. Unfortunately, General Pervez Musharraf also finds himself in a awkward position. His ethnicity is self-claimed to be Sindhi, although the Sindhi political establishment doesn't claim him. He was born in Delhi, India. He is the product of the westernized University system and came up as a member of the Punjabi dominated military establishment. In the current political climate this leaves Musharraf without a clear political base, which may have had advantages coming up, but now leaves him with enemies on all sides. Lacking clear political ties, he now portrayed as America's man though the US government had nothing to do with his political rise and previous to 9/11 antagonistic was toward many of Musharraf's policies.
There's also a question about how much is left of Pakistani nationalism after so much factional squabbling and bad blood.

none Pashtu areas = non-Pashtu areas

I agree Hugh. This also shows how good our military personnel are in mastering their enemy in any environment.
Posted by MarkJ at November 2, 2007 9:42 PM ET:
The problem for the Taliban is that they'd better pray to their bloodstained god that nukes don't fall into their hands. Acquisition of nukes by the Taliban would simply be an engraved invitation to the Indians, and perhaps even the Chinese, to administer the "Mother of All Nuclear Enemas."
Any Taliban victory, during which it overran Pakistani nuclear installations, would only last as long as took Indian and Chinese ballistic missiles to turn the entire country into a glowing ash tray. I simply can't envision any scenario in which either the India or China, both of which have significant Muslim minorities, could tolerate nukes in the hands of turbaned Wahabi nutjobs.
By the same token, if the Taliban "wins"--but doesn't get nukes--I can still readily see almost immediate invasions of Pakistan by India ("Kashmir, anyone?), Iran, China, and perhaps even Afghanistan in a "divide and conquer" strategy. Indeed, given their military capabilities, the Indians could easily be washing their tanks along the banks of the Indus within a matter of weeks.
Posted by templar knight at November 2, 2007 11:01 PM ET:
Mark, I disagree with your assessment, as I think a Taliban state within a state is very likely, and I believe China and India will have a wait-and-see attitude. India will do nothing, as it is hostage to a very large and potentially violent minority of Muslims who have proven in the past that they will act if they think they have been provoked.
China will wait to see what the US does, mainly because they have a very small number of Muslims, most of whom are not radicalized to the extent they are in Pakistan and India. China would love for the US to take a serious blow from these Islamists, thus putting themselves in a position to increase their power and influence in the region.
As for the Indian Army, I doubt they have the ability to defeat the Taliban in the NWFP, and would be driven back with heavy casualities, very much like what is happening to the Pakistan forces at the present time. Only the US has the tactics and equipment to defeat the Taliban in the mountains of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Perhaps the Chinese, although I doubt their abilities, both tactical and strategic.

The Pathan don't want to kill each other, unlike the indigenous in Iraq, different religious ethnography.
Many of these captured are just refusing to kill relatives etc. Rather than desert out right, they are " captured".
While it makes fighting hard, it bodes well for talks.

The US has their hands full and the current World political climate does not allow any invasions (except for the Al Qaea invasion in Iraq and Pakistan).
People in their own countries can attack & maim and torture and rape and pillage but other countries are not allowed to be involved. The international community does not think that military should be used even in a situation like Darfu. That means that they will not allow the US, China, India, or anybody that is not a nation, to commit any such aggressive acts. They will be demonized on a grand scale like our President has for invading Iraq.
I think it is more likely the Taliban will have their state within a state soon. Then they will consolidate and work on taking over all of Pakistan while they continue to take back Afghanistan. Remember, their stated goal, which they read directly from the word of Allah, as written in the Koran, is the global caliphate. They will not stop until it is achieved.
They will use the strategy of near and far. They establish a caliphate near, and then expand to the far. This is something they have been doing for years. They have spread Islam but can't seem to unite because of all the bickering over who's in charge. The leaders all want the power for themselves. Osama has now pointed out that Allah is the top dog and is uniting the people to join him in the far strategy.
Pakistan must fight for it's survival against the Taliban instead of India. It would be interesting to see what Russia and China have to say about the Taliban getting a Nuclear weapon. As Hugh stated, they are only a well placed IED away from getting one.

The socalled CAPTURED PAKISTANI SOLDIERS are realy the DEFECTORS with their arms. These AFGHAN AND PAKISTANI NOMADIC tribes are fond of pillaging and raping weaker opponents. They fear only superior force and weaponary. They will easily RAPE AND PILLAGE, BENGALIES, SINDHIES,BALOACHS AND KASHMIRIES but cannot has the GUTS to do the same to PUNJABIES,pathans AND ARABS whom they consider superior RACE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by Neo at November 4, 2007 10:00 AM ET:
I'm sure there are a share of defectors and infiltrators, but the situation is more complicated than you portray and evidence of mass defections during battle are a bit sketchy. Defections are happening, but it is too soon to say they have become the norm. The two mass surrenders that I am aware of happened to groups of soldiers that were left surrounded and exposed to the enemy. That's not the same thing as a mass defection. Whether they were hung out to dry by their commanders by incompetence of complicity is another question. It may also be the case that key people are defecting and the rest are being forced into compliance or killed. I seriously doubt that soldiers who have had their heads removed are defecting.
Once again, I'm not fundamentally disagreeing with the direction your headed. I do think you tend to overstate. One thing to watch out for is the tendency to look for the invisible hand of conspiracy in everything. There is plenty of plotting but what is happening is as much a political movement as it is a conspiracy. People join because they feel compelled to for a variety of reasons, there isn't always an invisible hand guiding them in everything they do. There's a reason people worry about momentum, if this sort of extremist movement can gain momentum, than people start jumping onboard of their own accord. It happened in Anbar four years ago, it's happening in Western Pakistan right now.

This entry in the series "Things the Bible Doesn't Say" is a recommendation from a pastor friend of mine. I imagine you have heard this phrase numerous times whether you're involved in a church or not. "Let go and let God" has become one of the American Church's favorites, somewhere between a proverb and a cliche.
Every culture has its proverbs and its cliches. Proverbs are short, catchy vehicles for some bit of wisdom. What is important to understand is that proverbs, whether cultural and/or biblical, are not necessarily promises or truths that are relevant to every situation. Some are intended to be. Some are not. For instance, is it better late than never or does slow and steady win the race? Yes…depending on what the life situation is your are talking about. As we've seen with some of the other "things the Bible doesn't say," there tends to be an element of godly wisdom/truth in many of our American Christian proverbs. Problems arise when we try to make them into something they are not: an entire philosophy of life wrapped up in 12 words or less.
Which brings us to "Let go and let God." What is the good, solid, Gospel wisdom behind this pithy aphorism? Well, I actually think there is Gospel right at the heart of it. The Gospel ("Good News") has many dimensions and can be expressed in a variety of ways. But one of the keys to the Gospel is that it is something that God has done before it is something we do. It is God who allowed an aged Sarah to give birth to the child of promise, God who liberated the Hebrew slaves from Egypt, God who fights his people's battles for them, God who delivers Judah from the hands of the Assyrians, God who enters into the world and delivers people from sin, God who raised Jesus from the dead, and God who is making all things new. The list goes on and on.
In fact, you could point to story after story in the Scriptures where the whole point is that if we try to do things our way in our timing with our strength, we act futilely. Think of Abraham and Sarah enlisting Hagar to bear the child God promised, and God's rejection of that plan. Think of the sound defeat of the Hebrew army when they presume to go into battle without Yahweh. Think of God's rejection of Saul as king because he took matters into his own hands. Think of Paul's wonderful words, "it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not of your own doing; it is the gift of God."
So, might "Let go and let God" be a really helpful reminder? Absolutely. People who are striving for blessing instead of receiving God's gift must let go of their preoccupation with earning and let God give them the gift of salvation. People who think that they need to reach some standard to earn God's love need to let go of their lone-ranger efforts and let God bring transformation into their hearts. People who are clinging to certain ways of thinking and doing need to let go of their own ideas and let God guide them onto the Way of Christ.
Here's the "but." But "Let go and let God" is not all there is to the Christian life. As James reminds us, "Faith without works is dead." When Jesus teaches us how to love him, he speaks of obedience. When people ask Peter on Pentecost, "What must we do to be saved?" Peter does not answer, "Let go and let God." He answers, "Repent and be baptized…"
As Dallas Willard has helpfully pointed out, there is a difference between earning and effort. Earning is non-Gospel. Effort is active participation in the new life of Christ. There is also a difference between doing our things and responding to God. Doing things on our own is non-Christian. Responding to God's call is the work of Christian discipleship. In order to be helpful, the one who encourages another to "Let go and let God" must wisely discern if the situation is appropriate. Let me finish by giving a little more concreteness to where "Let go and let God" will probably not be appropriate theologically or practically:
- If someone is wrestling with something the Spirit has laid on their heart to do (think the rich man asked to give up all his possessions and follow Jesus). In our culture, "Let go" may well imply passivity, whereas we dare not sit back "in God's grace" and ignore some way we have been called to actively obey his commands.
- Similarly, (it should go without saying) "Let go and let God" can be a pretty awful approach to the mission of the Church. "Let go and let God…" …feed the hungry? bring the Gospel to remote parts of the world? seek justice? sit with the one who is grieving? I don't think so.
- If someone is dealing with grief. In fact, most pithy proverbs are utterly unhelpful in grief situations. It is nearly impossible to simply "let go" of emotions. It may not even be a good thing to begin with. We often need to sit in our grief, loss, and disorientation until God meets us there and leads us on the path out. In this case, it's often the "comforter" who needs to "Let go and let God" bring deep healing and comfort to the person in grief while simply being present and available.
- If it means sitting on the couch and watching The Bachelorette "Letting go" doesn't mean "do nothing." It is an active process of bringing whatever it is we need to let go of before the Lord. There is a direction to our "let go." As Peter exhorts, "Cast all your anxiety on [God] because he cares for you." To "let go" of things that need to be let go of takes supernatural strength sometimes. Addictions, anxieties, and sinful patterns rarely can just be "let go." "Waiting on the Lord" is not passive. It is a difficult movement–empowered by the Spirit–towards God, towards God's Community, towards practices that form us into Christ-likeness
One of my favorite TV shows is Project Runway (yeah, I said it). The designers focus on making a cool garment, and then they are availed of an "accessory wall" with shoes, jewelry, etc. Tim Gunn, the designers' "mentor," always encourages them to "use the accessory wall…thoughtfully." Such is the case with proverbs. "Let go and let God" can be a helpful encouragement…at times. But use phrases like this…thoughtfully. Know what they mean, when they apply, when they come up short, and when something more personal or nuanced might be better suited. And just remember, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Am I right?

At South Ellwood field in the Santa Barbara Channel, offshore Southern California, Venoco Inc. employed advanced reservoir characterization technologies to identify redevelopment options. The firm's characterization efforts included reprocessing of first generation, 3D seismic data; integration of dipmeter, BHTV, FMI and oriented-core data; fracture modeling, using a new Pipeline Network model; and production logging to define OWCs and identify plugback/ recompletion opportunities. The first of three planned development wells, 3242-7-2, accessed a previously undrained fault block, producing more than 800 bopd and 2 MMcfgd upon initial completion. A five-well, through-tubing plugback program, based on data from new-generation production logs, and considering the new geological understanding, has increased production by 600 bopd and reserves by 6 million bbls. Two newly defined, fault block structures, primarily identified by seismic reprocessing, should be drilled during 2004. Reserve potential there could exceed 60 million bbls.

Qt 4.7 Preview for N900
Qt developers have packaged a preview for the upcoming version 4.7 of the toolkit for the Maemo N900 smartphone. The software packages are intended for developers.
The announcement came from Qt developer Harald Fernengel in his blog, based on the many requests that came in from those who want to be on the "bleeding edge" of Qt technology. The Qt Maemo 5 source code repository now has the 4.7-fremantle branch for the purpose. Coworkers at Qt Labs also built Debian packages for Maemo 5 that can be downloaded by using wget on the command line.
Fernengel includes a small disclaimer: "This is a tech preview" intended exclusively for developers who want to try out new features. Also, the installation overwrites any existing Qt 4.6 files. All necessary links and commands are in the Qt Labs blog.

text: During his 20-minute daily trudge to an Ohio high school in the '60s, Dirda committed Shakespeare soliloquies, Dryden couplets, and hundreds more lines of poetry to memory. Don't you hate him already? He was a go-getter, and it paid off: Today, he's a Pulitzer-winning ''Washington Post'' book critic. The really exciting half of his memoir -- genuinely inspiring, if you're a bookish teen or an unstoppable bibliophile -- details his unquenchable reading habits early on (he polished off Plato, Kant, Plutarch, ''Moby-Dick,'' and ''War and Peace,'' all before his 16th birthday). The less lively half concerns his overly familiar Midwestern upbringing -- everything he did when he wasn't sitting around with his face in a book.

455 Australian Delegation, United Nations, to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram UN1200 NEW YORK, 5 December 1947, 7.55 p.m.
Security 534. INDONESIA.
Your UNY731. [1]
1. Minister [2] had satisfactory talk with Netherlands Representative today. Snouck, who had been informed by The Hague of Officer's representations [3], said he personally considered there was no objection to Australia continuing on Committee and he had received no instruction to raise objections.
2. After consultation with United States Delegation we have reached conclusion that best approach is to raise matter when report of the Committee of Three [4] is before the Council at the next meeting.
3. The Minister [5] as Chairman would draw attention to the fact that substantive discussions are just beginning and that it is most unlikely that agreement will be reached before 31st December.
He would remind Council of manner in which Committee had been constituted and suggest that [to] avoid any possible question at later stage it might be desirable to have recorded the intention of the Council that the three Governments should continue to act.
4. We would hope that the Council would concur in this statement without objection and the United States Delegation will co-operate in securing agreement of all delegates in advance.
5. Palar indicated today that following our recent conversation he has decided not to press for further action by the Council though he may wish to draw attention to recent Dutch action resulting in death of prisoners [6], to Dutch consolidation in Madura and to the economic situation in Indonesian territory.
6. Your paragraph 2. Airmailed information should be adequate for present unless Council discussion takes unexpected turn.

Oko by Oko Paris : twice is better than one
A new collection with pure design, elegant but very distinctive
At Oko by Oko Paris, being and living in its time is no longer sufficient, one must be ahead of it. Precious matters, technical feats, the optical brand, which doesn't stop to differentiate itself, contributes to make progresses in the 'new generation' optics.
1 ultra-thin and ultra-light frame with a surgical steel face and acetate armed side-pieces with choice of 5 different frame colors, 1 ultra-thin of 1mm optical clip with choice of 5 different colored clips and 1 polarized sunglasses clip of 2mm... this is the number of elements which compose the 'Duo Clip' frame!
OKO by OKO Paris shows off there right in the eyes with this 2-in-1 frame.
The brand's design offices have wished to conceive a designer optical collection – for men and women- with pure design, elegant but very distinctive. Bit extra on this new line, the addition of a brand logo insert on the side-piece.
Let's not forget the importance of the color code, essential at Oko by Oko Paris. «In order to obtain an optimalcolor result on the surgical steel faces – on the aesthetic aspect but also for quality, strength and resistance reasons – we have opted for the 'IP Plating' technology (Ion Plating).
Ion plating is used to deposit hard coatings of compound materials on tools, adherent metal coatings, optical coatings with high densities, and conformal coatings on complex surfaces. Ion plating is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process that is sometimes called ion assisted deposition (IAD) or ion vapor deposition (IVD) and is a version of vacuum deposition. Ion plating utilizes concurrent or periodic bombardment of the substrate and depositing film by atomic-sized energetic particles. We are then sure to obtain and keep an optimal color finition and result as years go by. » indicates David Beddok, Head of Design Offices at Oko by Oko Paris.

Carson City, NV, Sep 20, 2013 -- Credit Repair Opens the Door to Homeownership with USDA Rural Development
Budgeting and Paying Off Debt Pays Off In a Big Way for this Homeowner
Maria Murillo, the Housing Loan Specialist with USDA Rural Development, knew when she met Iva Macias that she was a force to reckon with. The single mom from Elko was determined to provide a stable home for her child after years of sharing rentals.
It was December 2012 when they first met. Macias, 29, had come to the USDA Rural Development office in Elko seeking a low interest USDA Direct Home Loan. Murillo learned that Macias had worked in hair salons for over 11 years, and had been working as the manager at an Elko hair salon.
Iva had worked on clearing past debts, and had earned a good credit rating. She and her 7-year-old daughter were living in a rental in Spring Creek, where Macias sublet a room. Due to Elko's housing shortage, she was sharing the house with other roommates, and she wanted a stable home for her daughter.
"She had a good employment history and I could tell that she wanted to better herself, "Murillo said. "She had been working about a year and a half for the beauty salon where she was manager, and a year before that at the mine."
Murillo explained that a solid employment history is one thing that USDA RD looks for in a future homebuyer. "I need to see continuous employment for two years; it could be at different jobs, but it has to be continuous," she said. "I could also see that even though she had a few past credit issues, she had worked diligently to take care of her debt, which is always important."
Iva says she knew that her past debt problems would have been a problem with a basic home loan. "I knew I would be paying high interest, I would have to come up with a large down payment; with USDA they helped me and guided me on how to fix my credit, I feel like I am sitting in a really good place now because of that."
Murillo was happy to help Macias learn about how to apply for a USDA home loan, and even more pleased that she is now a homeowner.
"She was very cautious, and was aware of what she could afford. She had worked hard to resolve some problems, and stuck with it, even though it took some time. I know she will succeed and that makes me feel good," Murillo said.
Macias is a second generation Nevadan, with lots of family in the Elko region. She has nothing but good things to say about homeownership.
"I love being a homeowner. I know everyone says it is a lot of work, but at least the hard work and sweat goes into something that is your own, not for someone else."
And to carry on the tradition, her little girl has her own playhouse in the backyard. "She loves it too, now she has her own play house in the back yard, and she is getting the chance to fix it up and paint it for herself. That means a lot to me."
For more information on the USDA Rural Development Home Program in Elko, visit the Farm Service Center on Silver Street, or call Maria Murillo at (775) 738-8468 Ext. 4. For more information in Fallon, contact Diane Arvizo at (775) 423-7541 Ext. 100. For more information in Las Vegas rural areas, contact Elias Askins at (702) 407-1400 Ext. 113. You can also learn more online at www.rurdev.usda.gov/NVHome.html .
USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, has an active portfolio of nearly $189 billion in loans and loan guarantees. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America.

Hi, I am interested in purchasing the Aero Round Dining Table from RH. It is so expensive and I am wondering if anyone knows of a company that might make a similar table. I called RH to ask them who manufactures it and the customer service rep would only tell me that it is made in China. She said she could not find any other information on it and even if she could, she would not be allowed to divulge that to me per her company's orders. |

Well this window is no where near as wonderful as Missy's window. It does let light into the room and opens it up quite a bit. So glad I had it done. AND so glad Mario did it. Ran into a vent pipe that had to be re routed. Who knew. Was no big deal to them. Just a few parts involved.
It was suggested from a friend glass strings as a curtain would be nice. Might just go that direction. I hate to cover it with a curtain. The window is really high up so privacy is not much of an issue. I just would like a little something there. Maybe even a small draw curtain or lace. Will come up with something. We are not expecting company for awhile. Dashing off to town. Chris |

Follow-Up Postings:
It's quite nice. Have you thought of interior shutters? They can be painted or just varnished, you can adjust the lats (I don't know if it's the right word in English)for either privacy or to let light in or you can open them altogether. I think it would give your bathroom a nice classy country look. Anicée |
- Posted by trancegemini_wa (My Page) on Fri, Mar 12, 10 at 6:48
It doesnt look like it would cause too many privacy issues from the pic shades. it does look fairly high and only looking toward the sink area? If it were me I'd do something like idie did in her new porch sidelights with the frosted film but then again I noticed from the comment under the pic you were thinking of doing a glass mosaic which would look fantastic like a real feature there and since you have the tools and the talent that would be a great way to go. |
- Posted by shades_of_idaho (My Page) on Fri, Mar 12, 10 at 10:19
Anicée I am not sure there would be room for shutters. There is only a couple of inches each side. Would be cute. I am still considering doing a clear patterned glass mosaic with dashes of color to go along with my back splash in there or maybe a beaded curtain half way up. Loving the film Loretta used and do plan to look for some today in town. would be a perfect fix. Would not block any light. Chris |
I like the film too, I put it on my french doors but, in this case, since you have the mosaics near the sink, I think the clear mosaics with a dash of color would be very creative and keep the room opened up with light. I like the simplicity of it. Curtains or shutters would close it in a bit. I love a bathroom with a window. |
Oh yes, the glass mosiac would be so nice and still let light in. You do such lovely work. |
- Posted by shades_of_idaho (My Page) on Mon, Mar 15, 10 at 19:55
Well I certainly am considering the mosaic on it. I can do it in sections so I do not have to stand on the toilet. Or?????? Wondering which side to do the mosaic. Bathroom side or laundry room side. Hummmmmmmmmmmm At one point there will ba a back sort of. Need to ask about that one. Chris |
That's nice Chris. I used to have a house with a skylight in the bathroom and I loved having a little natural light in there. |
Maybe a two door window with your mosaics so you can open them? |
- Posted by prairie-girl (My Page) on Sat, Mar 27, 10 at 11:10
Way to go, Chris - it looks wonderful. :o) What a great idea to bring in more light and help open up a little space. |
- Posted by shades_of_idaho (My Page) on Sat, Mar 27, 10 at 11:19
since we have company now and I am still trying to finish up the kitchen and I painted the sewing room/guest room, the details on the window have gone on hold. I do think I want to do mosaic glass on it. Will need to work in sections as it would not be too fun to work up over the toilet and the window does not come out. It is there for good. I do like it. It makes the room feel better. Not a dark hole any more. Chris |

OH ML it is just an acrylic craft paint. Sort of expensive to be using on furniture. BUT it is not too smelly. That china cabinet I did was a horror of latex paint over oil and we all know the wreck that causes. WHY this cabinet has gone for 7 years in my possession with out being painted. I tested the Apple Barrel over it and it covered perfectly. There are other names. Apple Barrel is just the brand name. I bought it at Walmart. Oh and it is water clean up. Chris |

Your window design is looking fantastic. It is a very artistic abstract pattern, and I really like it. I'm not sure I could tackle something as detailed as that. And your poor kitty, she does look done in. I miss my kitties. |

Your window is coming along nicely. It's going to be so nice when it's done. Your poor (now famous) kitty. :o( Hopefully in a few days she will have completely forgotten. |

Heheheh I think she has already forgotten Was making up the futon yesterday and she dashed across the room and bit me on the top of my foot. I thought bottle fed critters were supposed to be so sweet?????????? Thanks on the window. Really there is no design to it. Brainless project. I have pans of glass at hand and just start laying it down and cutting to fit. This is the lazy way out of getting a big project done. I will take more care on the back splash for the master bathroom. That will be abstract with some thought to it. This window glass is 14 1/2 by 40 inches. I am pretty close to half way done. Had to work three days this week and town two days. Maybe tomorrow but I really should work in the yard. Chris |

Washington, DC, Sep 19, 2013 -- Agriculture Secretary Vilsack today announced loans to help finance the construction of broadband networks in rural Iowa, Minnesota, Oregon and South Dakota. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) remains focused on carrying out its mission, despite a time of significant budget uncertainty. Today's announcement is one part of the Department's efforts to strengthen the rural economy.
"Rural Americans need full access high-speed telecommunications services," Vilsack said. "Broadband allows rural communities to tap into critical health care and social services systems. It also helps even the playing field in education, and gives small-town businesses a chance to compete globally. As part of the Obama Administration's goal to improve infrastructure, we will continue to fund projects that expand broadband service in rural areas."
Today's funding announcement will provide almost $40 million from USDA's Rural Utilities Service (RUS) to install fiber networks to improve telecommunications capability in the three recipients' service areas. USDA's Telecommunications Loan Program finances infrastructure that enables access to a seamless, nationwide telecommunications network.
The following recipients have been selected to receive telecommunications loan financing. The funding is contingent upon the recipients meeting the terms of the loan agreements.
Keystone-Farmers Cooperative Telephone Company will receive a $7.6 million loan to upgrade its plant and complete a Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network to help meet the current and future data needs of its customers in Benton and Tama counties.
• Colton Telephone Company will receive a $7.3 million loan to complete an FTTP network to provide enhanced broadband services for its customers.
South Dakota and Minnesota
• Interstate Telecommunications Company, Inc. will receive a $24.9 million loan to upgrade its plant and complete an FTTP network to provide enhanced broadband services for its customers.
USDA Rural Development's funding continues to have a dramatic impact on rural communities across Iowa. Since 2009, USDA Rural Development has invested more than $2.5 billion on essential public facilities, small and emerging businesses, water and sewer systems, and housing opportunities for Iowa families.
This past year USDA Rural Development's investment in Iowa helped create or retain more than 1,600 jobs, aided 2,400 families in buying their own homes and assisted more than 60 communities as they made improvements to their facilities, services and infrastructure.
Further information on programs available through USDA Rural Development is available by calling (515) 284-4663 or by visiting the agency's web site at www.rurdev.usda.gov/ia.
USDA Rural Development has 11 offices across the state to serve the 1.7 million Iowans living in rural communities and areas. Office locations include a State Office in Des Moines, along with Area Offices in Albia, Atlantic, Humboldt, Indianola, Iowa Falls, Le Mars, Mount Pleasant, Storm Lake, Tipton and Waverly.
Since the start of the Obama Administration, USDA has funded 557 projects in 48 states through $6.1 billion in telecommunications loan financing. Secretary Vilsack noted that today's funding announcement is another reminder of the importance of USDA programs for rural America. A comprehensive new Food, Farm and Jobs Bill would further expand the rural economy - and he said that's just one reason why Congress must get a comprehensive Food, Farm and Jobs Bill done as soon as possible.
President Obama's plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the President's leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way - strengthening America's economy, small towns and rural communities. USDA's investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values.

The city's vibrant cooperatives were the driving force behind the formation of the Alternative Arts Alliance in 1984. Artists and arts advocates in Denver--most of them connected to one or another of the alternative spaces--created the organization with the noble mission of encouraging the arts, not just here but everywhere. In the intervening years the nonprofit alliance has grown in influence, in part due to the wide variety of activities it has sponsored, including visiting-artist programs, art festivals and, most notably, the annual Open Show held in the fall.
The Open Show has become one of the city's most important art events of the year--and that's a shame. The problem is the show's underlying premise--to let anyone and everyone exhibit. The idea springs from the anything-goes philosophy that enjoys wide acceptance among artists. According to this way of thinking, an artist is defined as anyone who calls himself one. But what winds up forgotten in this frenzy of egalitarianism is that leaving an exhibit wide open invariably produces a mess of garbage only occasionally relieved by a work of art.
Someone from the Alliance really ought to explain how creating a show that has no standards is good for the art world. The truth, of course, is that it's not even good for the show itself--which is precisely the point now being made, albeit inadvertently, by the 10th Annual Alternative Arts Alliance Traveling Show. The Traveling Show comprises the juried portion of the Open Show--in other words, the part where some standards were actually applied.
It was left to a jury of three respected art-world denizens--University of Denver art professor Lawrence Argent, Denver Art Museum curator Dianne Vanderlip and Artyard Gallery director Peggy Mangold--to separate the Traveling Show wheat from the Open Show chaff. And for the most part they've carried out their thankless task admirably.
This year's edition of the Traveling exhibit occupies the entire second-floor space at the Arvada Center, a marked improvement over last year's version, which was held in Denver's cramped Art Department Gallery. As viewers climb the stairs to the upper gallery, they are first confronted by a virtual icon of the alternative scene, a sublime found-object assemblage entitled "Holsters," by--who else?--Phil Bender. Bender has arranged a grid of nine toy-gun holsters approximately at eye level. Some are made of leather and have been tooled beautifully; others are made of ugly dirty-brown plastic or vinyl. In a testament to Bender's skill, they've been totally unified by the format of the grid.
Bender isn't the only artist in the show who's interested in cutting-edge sculpture. Also doing first-rate work in three dimensions is Zoran Belic, who uses found objects, like Bender, but gives them a decidedly different twist. In "Saturn 5," Belic has mounted a steel shelf on the wall and a steel pad on the floor; the shelf is visually linked to the pad by a metal crutch. The meaning of the piece is predictably ambiguous, but it's compelling nonetheless. Small installations of this sort often tend to be the most excessive, and Belic exercised admirable restraint in creating a piece that's grim without being maudlin.
Bill Green employs ready-made and custom crafted elements in "Put Yourself in My Shoes," an engaging wall-mounted sculpture with photographic elements that he describes as a "stereo viewing cabinet." Green has mounted a long black box on the wall, and inside it placed a series of stereo viewers that at the push of a button reveal the artist's feet in a variety of situations--from barefoot in the shower to stocking-clad on a rug.
Leanna Hund also uses ready-mades--in her case, construction tapes, plastic pipes and nylon ropes. Cashing in on the materials' brilliant hues, Hund has created a surprisingly fresh and coolly elegant 3-D tapestry. Also surprisingly stylish, given the hit-and-miss character of her long career, is Marti Lawrence's "Zen Birdhouse." In this sculpture made of found materials, Lawrence has set a wooden box on top of a tripod of bamboo poles that have been crudely lashed together with rope. Somehow it works.
The best three-dimensional piece in the show is the Eiko Ozawa installation "In the Night, I Chose Chance." This elaborate multimedia piece looks as though it were made of fired ceramic, but it's actually built from something approximating cast paper. The remarkable colors--an array of greenish grays--resemble ceramic glazes, and the way some of the elements seem to float suggests an imaginary undersea world. Ozawa's work isn't widely known at this point, but if "In the Night, I Chose Chance" is any indication, Denver's got a new upstart art star.

Plan an imaginary cruise, using maps, studying other languages, and drawing scenes from your trip.
Organize students in a central area of the classroom such as the reading rug. Ask students to share exciting places their families have visited or might visit on a boat or ship. Use Crayola Dry-Erase Markers to document student contributions to the discussion on a class white board.
Once the discussion has closed, organize students into small groups. Each group will plan an imaginary cruise. Students plot the course of the trip on a map. Record the imaginary itinerary on a chart or calendar. Ask groups to consider: Why did you select this destination? What do you anticipate seeing when there? How long will you stay? Where will you stay? Who will take care of your home and pets while you are away? Etc.
Each group will make a portrait of the group waiting to leave one port on the cruise, using Crayola® Oil Pastels on construction paper. Depict the foreground and background scenery realistically, and show clothing appropriate for the climate. Blend layers of color in the background with a small piece of paper towel.
Describe the port scene and the feelings of each group member. Use vocabulary words that capture people's excitement and curiosity.
Groups create a daily journal of their cruise and destination.
Post student artwork, accompanied by daily journals in an area of the school hallway for peers to view and read about the destinations.

Jennifer Lopez was definitely queen of the jungle, dominating the red carpet in a super sexy Roberto Cavalli gown. The leopard print, cutout gown was tres vintage Jenny from the Block, and we loved it! It featured beaded straps, and impeccable draping.
Jennifer and Marc Anthony were one, stylin' couple.
Not that you can look past her incredibly hot bod, but Jennifer's hair and makeup were flawless as well! Her eyes were lined in black, then gone over in a shimmery shadow, while her lips were glossed over in a berry shade.
Jennifer showed off her toned physique in the stunning Roberto Cavalli gown.
Jen stunned on stage in a Roberto Cavalli sequined mini, which featured a plunging neckline and a fringed hem.
Hayden Panettiere showed off her toned legs in an Emilio Pucci mini from the Fall 2010 Collection.
Hayden's super blonde mane was thrown back in a semi-sloppy updo, which we weren't crazy about.
Karolina Kurkova stunned in an embellished, strapless micro mini. She paired the blue, beaded number with matching open-toed heels and a choker.
Michelle Rodriguez wore an LBD, which had a hanging "wing" off one side.
The gorgeous actress simply had a bad hair day, sporting a bit of frizz with
her super curly locks.
Pharrell doesn't bother getting dressed up for awards shows, even when they take place during the most glamorous of situations. The singing sensation sported red kicks with denim duds.
Ian Somerhalder looked dapper in a pin-striped suit.
Paris Hilton looked pretty in pink. The heiress was draped in a gorgeous, light pink gown, carrying a shimmering clutch.
Nicky Hilton looked super sophisticated in an embellished white gown.
Paris and Nicky were a perfect red carpet pair.

I know many dried vegetable seeds can be frozen harmlessly. I would guess that many tree seeds shed in fall in middle and northern latitudes get routinely frozen even if leaf-covered or slightly buried. Still, I have never heard or read yea or nay from someone who knows from experience. I am mainly interested about if frozen in the ripe fruit. If the fruit of an apple or persimmon or pear is frozen for storage (to eat in a recipe, obviously) will the seeds be viable at thawing and extraction? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Several years back, a friend & fellow oak enthusiast did an experiment freezing several hundred Q.alba acorns in a solid block of ice and holding them overwinter in that manner - none survived as viable seeds that germinated. Don't know if that will extrapolate to seeds frozen in a persimmon or not. |
- Posted by gonebananas 7/8 (My Page) on Tue, Nov 27, 12 at 17:41
Thanks. I guess I'll just have to try it. Your friend's results do make one wonder, do only those acorns that are deeply buried by squirrels get to germinate? And it would have to be fairly deep burial at the northern edge of the oaks' ranges. |
