New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 I, Paul, am a prisoner of Christ Jesus because of my preaching to you Gentiles. | 1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles-- |
2 As you already know, God has given me this special ministry of announcing his favor to you Gentiles. | 2 Surely you have heard about the administration of God's grace that was given to me for you, |
3 As I briefly mentioned earlier in this letter, God himself revealed his secret plan to me. | 3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. |
4 As you read what I have written, you will understand what I know about this plan regarding Christ. | 4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, |
5 God did not reveal it to previous generations, but now he has revealed it by the Holy Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets. | 5 which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God's holy apostles and prophets. |
6 And this is the secret plan: The Gentiles have an equal share with the Jews in all the riches inherited by God's children. Both groups have believed the Good News, and both are part of the same body and enjoy together the promise of blessings through Christ Jesus. | 6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus. |
7 By God's special favor and mighty power, I have been given the wonderful privilege of serving him by spreading this Good News. | 7 I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God's grace given me through the working of his power. |
8 Just think! Though I did nothing to deserve it, and though I am the least deserving Christian there is, I was chosen for this special joy of telling the Gentiles about the endless treasures available to them in Christ. | 8 Although I am less than the least of all God's people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, |
9 I was chosen to explain to everyone this plan that God, the Creator of all things, had kept secret from the beginning. | 9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. |
10 God's purpose was to show his wisdom in all its rich variety to all the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms. They will see this when Jews and Gentiles are joined together in his church. | 10 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, |
11 This was his plan from all eternity, and it has now been carried out through Christ Jesus our Lord. | 11 according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. |
12 Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come fearlessly into God's presence, assured of his glad welcome. | 12 In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. |
13 So please don't despair because of what they are doing to me here. It is for you that I am suffering, so you should feel honored and encouraged. | 13 I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory. |
14 When I think of the wisdom and scope of God's plan, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, | 14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, |
15 the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. | 15 from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. |
16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit. | 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, |
17 And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love. | 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, |
18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is. | 18 may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, |
19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God. | 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. |
20 Now glory be to God! By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope. | 20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, |
21 May he be given glory in the church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever through endless ages. Amen. | 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. |

Kim Barnes
When it comes to literature, stories based on the truth are becoming nearly as common as Hollywood bio-pics. Only the books being written, especially those set in the Northwest, are generally less scary than artfully revealing. In some cases, they actually overshadow the attempts of writers to write actual fiction. Example: No matter how many novels Ivan Doig writes, there are those readers who will refer to his memoir "This House of Sky" as his masterpiece. Mary Clearman Blew, Jennifer Lauck, Jonathan Raban are among other Northwest writers whose fame is based mostly on their confessional nonfiction. The best of the bunch, though, just might be Kim Barnes. Which is why we've chosen one of Barnes' books as the August selection of The Spokesman-Review Book Club. Here's the thing: Instead of opting for one of Barnes' two critically acclaimed memoirs, our choice is "Finding Caruso," her first venture into long-form fiction. Because of "In the Wilderness" (a 1997 Pulitzer Prize finalist) and "Hungry For the World," Barnes – a part-time associate professor of English at the University of Idaho – has built a reputation for poetic renderings of a life that most of us would describe as . . . well, difficult hardly says enough. Both books explore Barnes' struggle to grow up in a remote North Idaho logging community, burdened by the restrictions of religious fundamentalism imposed on her by her family. As critic Tim Appelo wrote in the Seattle Weekly, "Finding Caruso" finds Barnes, "As in her memoirs … paint(ing) a place of booze-fueled anarchy, violence, and romantic rebellion." The novel is told through the eyes of a man looking back to 1958. We see 17-year-old Buddy Hope and his brother Lee, older by seven years, leave Oklahoma – although, it may be more correct to say that they brothers are fleeing. Yet, it doesn't really matter. No matter where you go, there you are. And the brothers still carry the baggage given them by a drunk of a father prone to outbursts of violence. They drive into Idaho (into what is meant to be near Lewiston), and pretty soon Lee gets hired as a saloon singer. Rootless Buddy, meanwhile, is stuck doing odd jobs. And then arrives the complication: a vision in "high heels, tight green skirt, coppery red hair rolled and tucked in against itself" and a scent of "overturned rocks and cottonwood blossoms, spring's last snow." Her name is Irene, and she attracts the attention of both brothers. But her eyes are drawn solely toward Buddy, who just happens to be half her age. Buddy's reaction is predictable: "When I saw Irene,'' he says, "I found myself gone still." The novel actually has several plots going on at once. An abused woman ends up dead. An Indian man is accused of murdering her. The chance finally arrives for Buddy to redeem himself for something he failed to do in a scene played out in the first chapter. It's a rich rendering of a place and time that has drawn mostly kind, if sometimes mixed, reviews. The trade journal Kirkus Reviews called the novel "a Bronte-esque debut novel about wretched families, childhood grief, love and betrayal … told in a polished if somewhat precious voice ('I abide in the whisper of wind through an old mare's bones') that sounds more evocative of Greenwich Village than Idaho." Library Journal said that Barnes "skillfully uses language to paint an affecting picture of the rural West and its lonely inhabitants," while Booklist's reviewer wrote that "Barnes is as fluent in provocative metaphors as in she in scenes of profound conflict and revelation." As for Seattle Weekly's Appelo, he wrote, "Some of the writing is annoyingly arch and arty (when Irene skinny-dips, Barnes describes 'the white moment of her bra'), but when Barnes puts words in service of the world she's describing – the way macadam gets oily after days of 100-plus heat – she shows her gift." Barnes' true gift, of course, is for telling the truth. And whether in the service of fiction or nonfiction, that gift should refresh us – the way ice melts on skin exposed to the summer sun – refresh us as we progress through August.

Are you stressed out during your renovation ? Unexpected expenses ? Did you find items you loved but then discovered you couldn't afford them ? Bad seams in the granite? Floods ? Are you dealing with mess ups by handymen, GC's and sub contractors? Rude or incompetent KD's?
Time to take a break and laugh...see link. These videos made me laugh when I was sleeping on the floor and the ceilings and walls had been stripped down to slats,...oh and the bathroom wasn't finished(no toilet/no bath)...Did I mention the 2 people working on the job left an opening by a steam pipe ? My cat disappeared under the subfloor and was walking on my downstair neighbors thin sheetrock ceiling... HTH :) |
Here is a link that might be useful: simons cat
Follow-Up Postings:
LOL! I love Simon's cat clips--they are too funny! |
I love Simon's cat. The only kitty related disaster we have had is that our old guy has, periodically, taken great exception to the muss/noise/disruption. And when he is annoyed he lets me know by pooping on the couch. Luckily I KNOW this about him and have the couch protected with fabric over one of those waterproof mattress protectors. He has made his opinion known twice now. The day the flooring guys were here and the day they hung the cabinets. Oh--and he marked my range hood flue cover. Luckily it was still in plastic.... One of my acquaintances is shocked I've not banished him outdoors...but I wouldn't do that. He has a right be grumpy. He's 18. That's ANCIENT in kitty years. Heck, I'm aggravated at this stage and I'm only 52... |

Oh cat mom funny story that you can relate to.. I was desperate to make pizza since I hadn't had it in 2 years !! during this escavation, I mean renovation. I put the (heavy)pizza stone on the counter(Soapstone). BIG MISTAKE. My cat has discovered how to climb from a windowsill to this counter. I never had a windowsill before so this is a big adventure for her (when I close the blinds/window and she has no interest so it's not like she's on the counter all the time). Well I went out and came back to find the pizza stone in 4 pieces on the floor. She must have flew through the air like on a snow sled as the stone slid across the smooth SS counter. She denied it of course. I made the pizza on a baking sheet, it came out delicious and all were happy. But she did have a guilty look all night. I wish I had a video of it. What a sight that must have been. |

Msjee-you are so nice. good for you not banishing him. Did you say 18 years old ? WOW. They don't have many ways to express their emotions and can't drink alcohol..and they are so close to the ground. Can you imagine the dirt & dust they are dealing with ? I gave her extra vitamin C and lecithin(for stress) and set her up on the mattress with blankets in whatever room wasn't being worked on. She got used to the routine real quick, with the door closed she felt safe and fell asleep. |
Too funny. Mine doesn't act like he is too unhappy with all the mess, but he did quit sleeping on his window perch and made a bed wherever a plastic tarp was on the floor. Why? I don't know. But he's back to his perch now. |

My cat became the official inspector. He batted every wire, peered into every hole and tested the ladders for safety every time they were set up or moved. And yes, he's THAT BIG! The upper cabinets are 18" above the countertops. |

GORGEOUS kitty, lazygardens! |
My cats LOVE that the electrcian left the old wire holes in the BS walls!!! They pull the insulation out bit by bit, and bat it around the kitchen! Since I STILL don't have any overhead lighting , the UC lights are on a lot, and they like to nap under those hot lights! YES, on the counterrs, which are STILL plywood! That reminds me, I need to run over to the shop and check on the progress of my countertops, since they are (yet another) month overdue!!! Nancy |

The video was great too, but the mental image of your cat riding the pizza stone is was really got me. Oh to be a fly on the wall... My grandfather's cat would actually stretch up the door and jiggle the knob with her paws. She could reliably open to old lever handles (sort of like a toilet handle) and could sometimes open the round ones too. She was an indoor/outdoor cat and fiercely independent. |

Rock Climbing: The Next Great American Pastime?
The Washington Post's lifestyle magazine this weekend had a great feature on Sasha DiGiulian, 19-year-old climbing prodigy and native of Alexandria, VA. Rock climbing has been my favorite sport and hobby for several years now, so it was a real pleasure to take in the photos and stories in this piece.
At my rock gym in Los Angeles, we decorate the walls with posters of DiGiulian and other great climbers doing their thing in Mad Rock-brand climbing gear. When I'm home, I sometimes work birthday parties and other group climbing events that come in to the gym.

Florida Supreme Court approves medical marijuana initiative for November ballot
Talahassee, Florida (AP) - The Florida Supreme Court approves the medical marijuana initiative for November ballot. This was the last hurdle standing in the way of puting the issue to Florida voters in November.
The justices approved the ballot summary 4-3 just three days after a petition drive reached the required number of signatures to place the measure on the ballot.
Republican Attorney General has been pushing for the Supreme Court to keep the measure off the ballot. She claimed the wording was deceiving.

I was disappointed recently to read of JC Penney's (JCP) decision to defer its plans for RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) implementation in its retail stores. Following steady success by retail giants Wal Mart, American Apparel, Marks & Spencer and others in recent years, JC Penney appeared to be adopting an RFID leadership position with reported claims last year it would be 100% RFID enabled by February 2013.
In an interview with Forbes Magazine, JCP CEO Ron Johnson (former retail executive with Apple & Target) laid out an aggressive plan to streamline the customer experience by combining RFID, high speed WiFi and mobile POS systems in order to reduce the number of cash transactions at store level.
Besides speeding up the customer checkout process, one of Mr. Johnson's main objectives in implementing comprehensive RFID ticketing was tackling the labour-intensive retail checkout process, estimated to account for 10% of JCP's in-store labour costs, to the tune of approximately half a billion dollars annually. Building on JCP's past RFID experience, he saw a win-win in going for full end-to-end integration: improved customer service, increased efficiencies related to information availability, and lower overhead cost.
Those of us who embrace the concept of RFID as a supply chain enabler see past the retail advantage here and appreciate the impact on inventory management (item level identifiers, in-stock ratios, locator advantages) and vendor management (procurement, data sharing, demand management forecasting, etc.). In other words, RFID still holds tremendous potential for overall supply chain efficiencies.
While size limitations, and costs, of RFID tags were frequently cited as the main barriers for robust RFID implementation by many companies, manufactures like Hitachi and Murata have successfully designed tags small enough to be easily accommodated in product labels. And with the costs of some passive tags (non-transmitting) heading below $0.10, Mr. Johnson felt those costs had declined enough in recent years to make the benefits of RFID worthwhile.
He was also leapfrogging the problem of waiting for (additional) vendor implementation as a first step, deciding instead to implement RFID at retail and push it back through the supply chain as an incentive for suppliers to begin full-case tagging. Using his Apple experience as a blueprint, he also envisioned the eventual end of traditional cash registers by enabling customers to check out on their mobile devices.
Surprising then, when just last month JCP announced an abrupt about face, stating that the full RFID initiative would be deferred, and only implemented for selected clothing and fashion jewelry items. The reason? Cost, not tag costs, but infrastructure costs.
In essence, a department store is really a warehouse, a storage location farther along the supply chain than the traditional distribution centre. And like a warehouse, goods are sometimes misplaced, or in the case of a department store, picked up from one location by a customer and put down in another. One of the challenges facing JCP was that using an RFID reader in one department to verify inventory was only half the problem, the other half was locating the item if it wasn't there. And to solve that problem, JCP would need a far more extensive network of RFID readers throughout their stores, along with supporting hardware and software requirements.
The additional infrastructure costs were apparently more that JCP was willing to absorb, a decision undoubtedly influenced by declining sales and a third quarter loss last year of more than $100 million.
Despite the ongoing, if incremental, success of RFID implementations, the issue of cost remains pivotal for many organizations, with initial concerns over tag costs replaced by fears over escalating infrastructure costs, and with good reason. Recent studies for data capacity related to RFID reveal that organizations may have to accommodate 10 – 100 times the amount of information that could be generated by barcode systems (Winans, 2005), and the resulting infrastructure costs can be as high as $13 – $23 million for a large manufacturer (International Journal of Management and Information Systems, 2010)
Regardless of JCP's delayed start, Ron Johnson accomplished more in 6 months than the organization did in the previous 6 years in terms of laying out an RFID game plan. He identified a vision, showing customers, employees, and observers alike, what's possible.
Like all of us enamored with the concept of RFID, Ron Johnson gets it, more than most. RFID is the missing link, the technology that holds the potential for truly integrating business processes, redefining the meaning of communication, and transforming the supply chain by making questions like "who, what, where and when" redundant.

"This was not only easy and fast to prepare, but it tasted awesome! I used homestyle gravy with dehydrated onions also, used pork cutlets. We served with mashed potatoes as well. My kids loved it and we had NO leftovers!"
"Excellent and really easy. Great when served with mashed potatoes."
"This is winner here with my family of 6 now. The meat was so very tender and the gravy was out of this world. I followed the recipe and do not want to change one thing. Thank You for a keeper in my home."
"I am always looking for different methods of making cube steak and this one is the best I have ever found, bar none! It was very tasty and the meat was so tender. This is a recipe I will use quite often. It is extremely easy to prepare. Thanks for a great recipe!"
"This recipe is totally awesome! The meat was so tender, that after dinner when we were putting the little bit of leftover away, the meat was literally falling apart! Definitely a repeat recipe!"
"This was really easy to make and really good to eat. A good recipe! Thank you"
"Wonderful!! I made this exactly as posted. The meat was so tender, the gravy is delicious. I served it with mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus. We were very impressed with this SO easy recipe!! Thank you Britt!! This will take it's place among our favorites."
"This was very good, a nice fast meal served it over noodles and the kids loved it. "
"Deee-lish!!!!! My DH is a "picky" eater...and he gave it 10*s! Made exactly as you stated in the recipe! Very tender, tasty meat and gravy!(It was so easy to make.) Will be making it often! Thank you for the recipe!"
"I left this in the crock pot for the sitter, and daughter. The meat is very tender, and plenty of gravy for the favorite;;;mashed potatoes."
"This was great, I just happened to have frozen round steak, I used thst and added mushrooms about 2 hours before the end.The steak was still very tender. I will try it with the cubed steak next time."
"My whole family loved this dish. It is so good!"
"Quick and easy too...tasted even better than that! Came home from work and it smelled devine. Instant mashed potatoes with chives and some green beans and supper was another success. I doubled it and used a can of cream of chicken and one of cream of celery ( i hate mushrooms). Was perfect for me but made the mistake of telling the family that is is supposed to be made with mushroom soup and so now I will have to make again the correct way. For them I will also add a can or two of mushrooms. Thanks for putting this recipe in my cookbook!"
"I made this for my large family and everyone wanted it again the next night but there were no leftovers. I absolutely loved this!!!!!!!"

I ran into this situation this morning. I was attacking with Willas Tyrell against Martell and The Red Viper was in play (Immune to character abilities). Neither myself nor my opponent were sure whether Willas's ability of not counting opposing characters STR applied in this case. Can anyone illuminate me on this? Thank you!
Willas Tyrell VS The Red Viper
Posted 15 November 2012 - 09:03 AM
Posted 15 November 2012 - 09:06 AM
Just because Willas' ability isn't a triggered effect does not mean that it is not a character ability. It is an ability and it is on a character. Furthermore it is trying to directly effect TRV (unlike Pyatt who is changing game mechanics), so I would say that TRV is immune to it's effects.
Going to search a little to see if I can support this though…
(3.7) Card Abilities
"Card abilities" (i.e. "Character ability," "Location ability," or "Attachment ability") refers to anything in a card's text box, except for traits, keywords, and flavor text. "Card abilities" also refers to any abilities (again, keywords and traits are excluded) gained by card effects
(3.14) Effects of Immunity
The effects of a character ability cannot be applied to a card that is immune to character abilities.
Posted 15 November 2012 - 09:08 AM
I'm pretty sure the Red Viper prevails over Willas in this instance (how thematically appropriate!).
Posted 15 November 2012 - 09:12 AM
Thanks you for the responses and the time expended to search and support them. Thematically appropriate indeed!!!

Morrissey a Bond theme?? Leave the drugs dude!
Rubber Soul (damn it is so hard to choose!) My first Beatles album ever, which I bought 20 years ago and it has the most beautiful pop song ever written on it: In My Life. Beatles are the greatest band ever. Pure genius, no doubt about that.
Strangeways is not a terribly experimental record?? Come on… there are trumpets in "I Started Something I Couldn't Finish" , there is the amazing piano solo at the end of "Death of a Disco Dancer " and you have that weird crowd screaming above a minimalist piano tune for 3 minutes in "Last Night I dreamed…" It is still one of the finest pop albums ever made and my personal favourite Smiths album along with Meat is Murder. I never really liked The Queen is Dead as much as those two.

Man Enters Guilty Plea to Murder in Marion County
By: StaffPosted: Thursday, January 13, 2011
A plea agreement yesterday in Marion County Circuit Court has resulted in a Baxter County man being sentenced to life in prison on a first-degree murder charge relating to the shooting death last year of a Marion County man.
Fourteenth District Prosecuting Attorney Ron Kincade confirmed that 21-year-old Justin Kent of Midway entered a guilty plea to a reduced charge of first-degree murder in Yellville before Circuit Judge John Putman. Kent was charged last April in the shooting death of 38-year-old David Searles of Rea Valley at Searles' residence.
Kincade said the family of Searles had agreed to the plea reached between Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Kenford Carter and defense attorneys Christopher Nebber and Teri Chambers. Kincade elaborated on the decision to reduce the charge down to first-degree murder from capital murder.

Play Audio File 1
Kincade said Kent and Searles were friends, but had gotten into an argument apparently over a horse. He said Kent admitted to shooting Searles in the head last April after Searles had gone to bed.
Kent returned to the Searles residence the day after the shooting and before Searles body was discovered. Kent then took Searles' truck, credit cards, and other items. Kent was arrested in Mountain Home a few days after Searles' body was found. He was still driving the victim's pickup.
Kincade said the plea agreement also covered theft charges.

Marketing is a conversation you're having with your marketplace. When you engage in unethical marketing where you are misrepresenting the products or services you are offering, you are lying to your market.
Unethical marketing is wrong by definition but usually it isn't a life or death matter. Subjective statements like "the most delicious" are suggestive enough to influence opinions but vague enough that it's not directly a lie. However, in the case of Jim McCormick and his ADE 651 product, the unethical marketing stepped over the line into the realm of pure EVIL.
McCormick's company sold a device called the ADE 651 that could detect explosives from over a 1 kilometer away. It gained tremendous success, bringing in over $125 million of sales in Iraq alone, selling for about $40,000 a piece. The only problem is that the product is not capable of detecting explosives at all. It is simply a cheap anti-shoplifting device. You can imagine the effects this device has had on it's customers who acquire a false sense of security due to this device.
The thought alone makes me cringe on how someone could come up with the scheme to mislead people in such a drastic way just to make a profit. In my books, this is right up there with the marketers of cigarettes and Hitler's propaganda.
I'm so glad that the entrepreneurs that we deal with everyday at Web Design Company are genuinely attempting to help, heal and serve others. You all are a special group. I hope we continue to be fortunate enough to work with generous & ethical people like you and never encounter someone like Mr. McCormick.

Cardiac tumor resection is the removal of a tumor from the heart. The resection will also remove some of the healthy tissue surrounding the tumor.
Reconstruction surgery may also be needed if a large area is affected.
Anatomy of the HeartCopyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc. |
Tumors can interfere with the surrounding healthy tissue. This can lead to heart failure, blockage of blood flow, problems with the heart valves, or blood clots.
Benign tumors can often be treated successfully with just surgery.
The surgery may be only part of the treatment of cancerous tumors. Treatment for these may also involve chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or both.
Your doctor will review potential problems from the procedure, like:
Factors that may increase the risk of problems include:
Talk to your doctor about these risks before the procedure.
You will be given general anesthesia. It will block pain and keep you asleep during surgery.
A breathing tube will be placed in your throat. Next, an incision will be made on the skin of the chest. A special device will help open the ribs to expose the heart. You will be connected to a heart-lung machine. This machine will take over for the heart and pump blood to your body during surgery. The heart can then be stopped so the surgery can begin.
The tumor and some surrounding tissue will be removed. The doctor will remove as little tissue as possible without leaving tumor tissue behind. Repairs or reconstruction will be done to make sure the heart can still work properly. Once the repairs are complete, the heart lung machine will be removed and your heart will start beating again. Your heart will be observed to make sure it is working properly.
Wires will be used to help close the ribs. The wire will support the breastbone as it heals. The skin will be closed with stitches or staples. A bandage will be applied over the incision.
About 3-5 hours.
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. You will have some pain during recovery. Your doctor will give you medication to help manage this pain.
You will be in the hospital for several days. The exact length of stay will depend on your surgery and recovery rate.
You may be a little disoriented when you wake up because of the anesthesia.
The first part of recovery will occur in an intensive care or coronary care unit. There will be several tubes and wires attached to you so your vital signs can be monitored.
You will be given IV fluids initially. When you are ready to eat you will start a liquid diet. You will be gradually worked back up to your regular diet.
The hospital staff may ask you to:
To help your recovery once you get home:
Ask your doctor:
Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions.
Call your doctor if any of these occur:
If you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

The Linux Foundation, which also employs Linus Torvalds, has welcomed Adobe as a new member in a press release.
The company is looking in particular to extend Linux to a platform that supports Rich Internet Applications (RIA) and Web 2.0 technologies. Jim Zemlin, the Linux Foundation's CEO, welcomed Adobe's decision as a further step en route to open standards and Open Source.
David McAllister, who is responsibility for standards and Open Source with Adobe pointed to Adobe's existing Linux products, Flash and AIR. He referred to the Linux Foundation as a valuable source to ensure improved Linux compatibility for Adobe's products.
Adobe will officially join the Linux Foundation at the annual Collaboration Summit in Texas early in April. The organization will be meeting with several major Linux players to promote better coordinated work on the free operating system.

I've been getting really helpful inputs here - thanks to everyone contributing! My next dilemma is the backsplash. I saw nixit71's backsplash & it is very similar to what I was wanting. Here is hers... For the field tile, I am torn between a glass tile (Lucente morning fog) & porcelain tile (Paladino adamello) - both from Emser. And the accent tile is Emser's Flash bright mosaic. Q1 - if I go with the glass tile, do I still break it up with the accent strip or will that be too much? Q2 - Would it look odd if I have an accent strip running horizontally & then meets up the accent running vertically over the cooktop? The 2nd picture is the porcelain tile( i have a big piece as a sample but is going to get 4x8s) & a strip of my accent tile (actual size is 12x13) |
Here is a link that might be useful: Flash bright
Follow-Up Postings:
Personally, I would do an accent strip only if horizontal lines were a design feature that a liner at that level would be just right for. They are used too much IMO just to add..."something" to the plain field the owner's focusing too exclusively on. Fortunately not as drearily ubiquitous as those genuinely attractive medallions and tile pictures behind the stove became (usually easier to just not notice), but...still. How about using art and/or other decorative items that can be stuck to the tile and changed out whenever it takes your fancy? Of course, any small appliances, etc., sitting out will add their own "something." Do your design diagrams include any you might be using? BTW, this is the same suggestion I gave for years when people were trying to choose the seemingly "de rigeur" medallion or whatever for above the stove. |
GWer mamasheshe used a horizontal mosaic accent and then ran that mosaic vertically behind her cooktop. Her tile is very colorful and makes a fabulous statement. I hope she doesn't mind me posting her picture but I thought it would let you visual how yours might look. I do like your tile choices. If you decide to use both horizontal and vertical, maybe you should consider putting the horizontal at the bottom like mamasheshe did. |
I just noticed after I posted mamasheshe's picture that her horizontal stripe actually has the mosaic tiles placed vertically within it. |
- Posted by frugalnotstingy (My Page) on Sat, Apr 27, 13 at 22:58
rosie - you have me thinking now. I don't really have any horizontal lines in the design. I might put a black & decker toaster oven on that side of the counter just to break it up a little. badgergal - thanks for the photo! That really helps. I was trying to search for one but did not come up with anything. |
Super. That said, "similar to what I've been wanting" - ! Evaluate to make sure that particular detail is really what you want is all. After all, Nixit's kitchen does look very nice. |

White House Defends Biden Amid Criticism In Gates Book
Wednesday, January 8, 2014
(Washington, DC) -- White House spokesman Jay Carney is defending Vice President Biden amid criticism in a new book by former Defense Secretary Robert Gates. Carney opened a White House briefing with a joke, asking -- "Read any good books lately?" In the briefing, Carney called Biden a leading statesman and a key counselor to the President. Gates claims Biden has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue in the past 40 years. Carney praised Gates' extensive experience in top government jobs and said President Obama valued his tenure as Defense Secretary.

Palestine and Israel Within the American "Empire"
January 17, 2008 by TMO
By Geoffrey Cook, MMNS
Berkeley–With our "Presidente" in the Middle East last week, I decided to take out my notes on Dr. Phyllis Bennis' talk at last August's Palestine Conference in this city.
Phyllis Bennis is a Jewish-American scholar specializing on the Palestinian crisis with considerable intellectual and moral depth. I reported on her and a Palestinian scholar's comments on the Annapolis meeting of the end of last November. That article appeared on these pages a mere few weeks ago.
Phyllis' comments revolved around the symbiotic relationship between Washington and Tel Aviv. The United States early realized that the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) were useful, and that our foreign policy should take this into account, but "We have a history to make amends" for it!
Israel has become important to America. We can live with them for they are perceived here as authoritarian but not totalitarian! To the West, it is ostensible as not only anti-Communist but also as presently "anti-terrorist" ally. They have become important to the US because it is where three regions merge. Although not an oil producer, Israel is surrounded by petroleum producers, and is seemingly stable.
Therefore, the US has been propping up Israel for the past forty years, but to do so we have taken part in the suppression of the surrounding Arabs.
Dr. Bennis, remarked on Jimmy Carter's recent controversial book on Palestine that, "…Carter has done more since he has left the Presidency than when he was in Office." He now takes risks! With his book he has securely shown the relationship of the Palestinian/Israeli crisis with South African apartheid.
The American mind is still caught within the Cold War; i.e., "moderate" and "extremist" – "good" Shiite versus "bad" Sunni."
Iran has a democracy, but structurally it is a closed one. Hezbollah filled the void in Southern Lebanon following Jerusalem's abandonment of the region after the last Civil War.
The States insisted on elections in the mini-State of Gaza until, as the Carter observers attested, Hamas won them fair and square. Also, Iraq has become a new "Province" in the American Empire – especially with W.'s. plans for permanent bases in Mesopotamia. We have configured Iraq into probably the most Capitalistic State in the World.
Israel is the centrally most destabilizing force in the Middle Eastern locality. The American and Israeli Trade Unions' rank and file have to acknowledge the Divestment Movement, too.
Tel Aviv has finally admitted that they are a nuclear power. This is a very dangerous situation, for MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) does not operate in the Theater. One tactical nuclear missile hitting Egypt's Aswan Dam would kill twenty million inhabitants! Your author personally feels if Jewish Jerusalem would back down to a reasonable nuclear arsenal to a logical defense, Tehran would not perceive them as menacing, and they would cut back on their program. Bennis goes even further by calling for a "nuclear free zone" over the Middle East.
But, unfortunately, Phyllis Bennis, feels "We [the U.S.] are proud of its Empire!"
Pride of empire indicates unwillingness to let go.

Tilly Smith is an attentive girl. Several years ago, the ten-year-old from Britain was vacationing on a beach in Thailand with her family. Suddenly the water rushed out and began to bubble. Because she had paid attention in her geography class, Tilly recognized the strange occurrence as a sign of an oncoming tsunami. Her warning to get off the beach saved her parents and dozens of fellow vacationers before the deadly tide rushed in and turned the beach into rubble.
We can take a lesson from Tilly – as we can from this week's Gospel from Luke – that being more attentive in our lives results in positive outcomes. We see how attentiveness saved Tilly and her family. The Gospel shows us how being attentive to God and one another results in the ultimate, positive outcome – the gift of being saved through eternal life in heaven.

The SKS Mag Adapter
What do you think about this video?
John Kerr: I had one put on mine in the nineties never liked the way it worked. but
there was no youtube back then.
JON H: @ jusmead. the majority of people are too scared that they will freak up their bolt with the mod. Its fuggin simple though. All you need is a rotary tool (dremel) and a good fine grindin tip. You will also need alittle bit of creativity too of course. lol swiftjeff: @bearfoot25 I have the mag adapter and modded a new mag today. Used a hacksaw and a duckbill from an old tapco mag to mark where I needed to cut. Took about 30 min. Takes 10 min with a band saw. Just follow the instructions and you're fine. You can always purchase pre modded tapco mags. Google 'truly tactical'. 67mustangreg: so it used regular ak47 mags or what? like a model D??? SmittyWerbenjager Manjenson: Dont know what you mean, my Yugo operates flawlessly, maybe you just suck at cleaning your weapon. Murraysguns: You're absolutely right, on all 3 counts. :) rocityzfinest: WOOH!! I LIKE!! tk9hydro: Hey were can I find tat add on for the sks..to make it look like ur.. datemasamunesan: さ RHAYES04: this is the old style adaptor. the new style does not need the pin through the stock. Murraysguns: @tk9hydro thesksmagadapterdotcom Murraysguns: @voodazz Marcus has one featuring Galahad on the site thesksmagadapterdotcom Asgard Beast: Honestly, I have looked at many modifications for my SKS magazines, but in the end, I haven't found anything that catches my interest, especially considering the fact that the regular Tapco "DuckBill" Magazines have been performing just fine for me. I suppose there would be a small advantage in not having the "duckbill" but I haven't had any issues that would cause me to think there was enough benefit to justify the additional costs and modifications to my rifle. Just my opinion however. Murraysguns: @blackbeard456 Kicks almost enough to wish I wasn't so good at what I do? :) jackhammerMean: Although this video did not help me find a mag adapter for a reasonable price and convenience, It did tell me why my rifle isn't firing correctly. That freaking grenade launcher pin! Thank you! KanyonWilson: Selly-er and bell-ot XD Murraysguns: Yes, it does violate 922r and causes you to have to replace original parts with parts that are "Made in USA." I would recommend you contact Marcus at thesksmagadapterdotcom to determine stock compatibility. voodazz: I would be awesome if you made a video tutorial on how to install this. Jusmead: you should have one of your gas valves in the thing so no more mistakes also you should shave the bolt to allow instilation and removal of mag with the bolt forward oh and you need to rasp the magwell of the wood stock to make sure the tapco mag doesnt get pinched HHH100: Never cared for the Yugo version of an SKS. Too many gas system problems and checks to make. Also, never modify an SKS for detachable mags. The ten round stripper clips work just fine as designed. If you want detachable? Then get an AK. Murraysguns: @RHAYES04 You're exactly right. Apparently the new version clamps to the lug on the underside of the barrel that the mag would normally key into. bber45: nice shooting. Good looking SKS as well 187SicknesS: not a fan of yugos but that is a mighty lovely mod you have there. Murraysguns: @rachee23 Nothing, that I know of. And no, you won't be able to use Tapco 20s that still have the duckbill on them. The adapter simply allows you to remove that duckbill, so it will fit in mag pockets in vests etc, and you'd need to remove the adapter to use a Tapco 20 that still has its duckbill. ....You're exactly right! "Managable." dreamfox1313: I don't think you could since to use striper clips would take a total of 9 moves and a 30 round mag. only takes 3 moves. Murraysguns: @13Rudyb Yes it does. And for Walt's benefit, it's Wolf ammo, and Wolff Gun Springs. :) milwaukeegregg: Why bother when the standard tapco duck bills are fine!! Spend the money on a good trigger job!! Not a fan of yugos, nice furniture but heavy as hell ARTONY92: @212driller- a guy on the sksboards (.com) sells them. damiion666: What is the legality of converting an sks to take this mag adapter and a detachable 20-round mag? Does it violate 922r? Also, what kind of stocks are compatible with the mag adapter/tapco 2-round mag without having to do too much stock "relieving"? I've been thinking of replacing my wood stock with one of those butler creek stocks. I kinda want to keep the same style in a polymer look. 13Rudyb: Thankyou mr. Murray. I just dropped my bolt in the mail for the new pin and drop free bolt mod... I can't wait to get it back a take it to the range... John Boucher: That is really great!! I want one! bearfoot25: Still havent decided wether im going to give this a try or not. Im just afraid I will mess up my Tapco Mag and throw $20 away!!! Murraysguns: @67mustangreg Modified Tapco 20 round mags are used with this adapter. RHAYES04: i have been helping marcus some, yes the new one is clamped to the lug with a tailpiece. that is gen 3. there is also a gen 5 (as of about a week ago) that will be in process. you may want to look at his sksforums for an update. i think you will be impressed. 212driller: whered you get that from? that would be awesome to be able to convert my sks to a detachable mag! HHH100: Never owned a Yugo. Cleaning is not a problem. I just prefer to have minimal concerns in operation of such. 13Rudyb: @murraysguns. Does the yugo being used have your famous firing pin with the wolf spring..... 8SiCK0LAKE1: I would love that adapter well at least the newer versions of it, but the price is asking for too much. Chris Crap: Im trying to get some info on these mag adapters because theres somethings I dont understand. Besides eliminating the duckbill and more round capacity what else does it do? Will I not be able to use tapco 20 rounders with a duckbill? Im thinking it just makes the mags a little more managable, then again I could be wrong.

April 19th, 2014 It's been a few months since my last update. I've been busy, preparing for my baby's birth, but I managed to do a piece for my sister recently. It's not so much a commission as it was a favor so it can be found in the originals gallery. It was my first time using my new watercolor pencils and water-brushes. It turned out pretty well.
~K. SierraKoneko-ealain.com is pretty much up and running! Aside from slowly re-adding artwork to the various galleries, the site is pretty much complete. February 2nd, 2014
Just a quick guide for everyone:
Illustrations are all fully detailed Digital or Traditional media works, both Original Works and Commissioned works.
Sketches will be clean-lined penciled or inked art.
Miscellaneous is for any fanart, random comics and choice older works (pre-2012) for comparison to my current skill.
Commissions are currently closed partly because I have a few I am working on and partly because I want to redo the price sheet so it's clearer about what I offer and what I charge.

A rather curious story has been going around the Eternal City in recent days.
Lazio's owner Claudio Lotito had apparently told his counterpart at Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis, that there was trickery behind Roma's success this season. He supposedly claimed that their owner James Pallotta had brought in five wizards to work at the club's Trigoria training ground and at the stadium on match-days.
"You know why you lost [to Roma a fortnight ago]?" it's claimed Lotito said. "Because Pallotta's magicians got Diego Maradona [a guest at the match and Napoli talisman] to rise from his seat before the end of the first half and remove his negative energy…" Within seconds of him doing so, Miralem Pjanic gave Roma the lead with a free-kick.
Just like magic.
Do you believe in it? A more pertinent question might be whether you believe Lotito ever suggested as much. If he did – something which Lazio deny – it was probably a joke. But Roma supporters weren't about to let facts stop them from having a bit of a laugh.
A local radio station Te la do io Tokyo called Lotito. Amusingly its presenters pretended to be a couple of wizards. Lotito hung up. They phoned back and, to be fair to the Lazio president, he was good value making the sort of wisecrack that left the listener with the impression this was radio gold.
More fun was to be had at his expense on Thursday. This time it was organised by Roma. Shortly after referee Sebastiano Peruzzo blew for full-time at the end of their 1-0 win against Chievo on Halloween night, the crowd at the Stadio Olimpico were given a special treat. Out came five wizards. They walked under the Curva Sud in full costume looking like they'd come straight from Hogwarts, disembarking from platform 9 and three-quarters at Termini rather than Kings' Cross. It's a night that will live long in the memory.

Marco Borriello's glancing header made it 10 wins from 10 for Roma this season, the best start ever made by a team in Serie A. "… We have 27 wizards in the dressing room," said coach Rudi Garcia afterwards, alluding to the number of players in his squad. "We believe in work, not witchcraft," added Roma's general manager Mauro Baldissoni.
Peerless in Serie A history, benchmarks for this team's achievements are now being sought abroad. Thursday's victory meant Roma matched the start made by Ron Atkinson's Manchester United to the 1985-86 season. Beat Torino away on Sunday and they will equal that of Bill Nicholson's double winning Tottenham side in 1960-61.
But 11 in a row has a resonance of its own at Roma. They managed just that under Luciano Spalletti between December 2005 and February 2006, playing arguably the best football in Europe. Remember how it came about? Bereft of strikers, Spalletti had to get creative. So he fielded a team comprising six midfield players with Francesco Totti asked to perform a role as a false nine. On paper it looked like a 4-6-0. So successful was it that soon enough Europe's elite were trying it. For instance, Manchester United adopted it after their encounters with Roma the following season and it'd be the system that exalted the characteristics of the side that won the Champions League in 2008.
Caught by surprise and unable to get to grips with it, defenders had no reference points and therefore no idea who to pick up. Roma's run that season was a club record winning streak and a Serie A one too for a time until of course Inter strung together 17 under Roberto Mancini between October 2006 and February 2007.
After last season no one would have anticipated this, just as no one expected Spalletti's Roma to do what they did. That team deserved a Scudetto. They led the league for an hour on the final day of the 2007-08 season. The hope among Roma supporters is that maybe this will be their year. For now at least whether it be through wizardry or hard work, their team really is living up to the nickname La Maggica.

United Fresh 2013 has a discovery theme, but no ocean lies between points A and B for the aspiring produce industry Columbus.
"There's always a lot of focus on the business that takes place on the trade show floor, but we're big into making it so that it's not just a bunch of walking around," said Tom Stenzel, president and chief executive officer of the Washington, D.C.-based United Fresh Produce Association.
"We've got over 20 different business suites that companies have taken where they will be holding their business meetings right on the show floor," he said.
Topics, turnout
Educational workshops on the Food Safety Modernization Act, labor and immigration reform, and new transportation regulations will also be held near the exhibits.
The May 14-16 show is set for the San Diego Convention Center.
Turnout is running ahead of last year's event in Dallas, Stenzel said in late March. The trade association estimated more than 5,000 attendees and 250 exhibitors in San Diego, where the theme is Discover Fresh Horizons.
An opening night party will be on the flight deck of the U.S.S. Midway aircraft carrier.
The keynote speaker at the first general session May 15 is Walter Robb, co-chief executive officer of Whole Foods, who will discuss how his company grows its customer base.
The Packer's Produce Person of the Year award winner will be recognized at the opening breakfast.
Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," are scheduled to give the May 16 keynote by way of commentary on political trends and their effects on the produce industry.
The chairman's reception later that day at the Marriott Marquis will honor winners of the annual Produce Excellence in Foodservice and Retail Produce Manager awards.
For the first time at United Fresh, the post-show conference topic on May 17 will be Produce Marketing and Merchandising.
"One reason we're doing it after the show closes is that a lot of the produce company marketing guys are fully engaged Wednesday and Thursday," Stenzel said.
"But they're the ones who will come, along with retail, on Friday when they no longer have to be at their exhibits."
Representatives of Stemilt Growers, Nielsen Perishables Group, NPD Group, Harold Lloyd Presents, Sansolo Solutions, Hartman Group and other companies will speak.

This is called a texture paste, but really it works more like a calming serum/leave in conditioner. If you use it for that purpose- this is one of the best most conditioning treatments ever. It really does gives hair shine! My hair was way more manageable and soft after this. It's got no silicones and lots of truly moisturizing oils. My comb ran thru like butter. I love this product and would buy again as a serum/frizz tamer/conditioning product. It's truly superior in that department.

I love how natural the ingredients are in this product, and it has a very pleasant smell. Unfortunately, it did NOT give my medium-length fine straight hair any volume at all. I applied to the roots when wet and blow dried my hair upside down. There was maybe a small amount of volume for the first half hour, but my hair fell flat after that. As a positive, it did make my hair very soft. I personally have found the Shear Miracles products to be more effective.
I think this would work well for those of you looking only for a small amount of lift and have shorter, more layered hair.

Doesn't work as well in creating a choppy look as heavier duty products, but the effect I get is a wonderful, more natural separation. Great on my hair. Makes it look healthy and together. Washes out easily. Can be reactivated by spritzing with water. Love it.

This stuff is really great for anyone that has thick, wavy, curly, or hard to manage hair. I can use this whether I have straightened my hair or left it thick and wavy. It lays down all the flyaways, baby hair and whatever else your trying to control, and gives a sleek smooth look with a natural gloss. Instead of that waxy patent leather shine that looks so strange to me. This is gonna be a staple for me, especially in the summertime when my hair is the hardest to deal with.

CAIRO (AP) - Several journalists have been caught up in the violence that has raged in Cairo and elsewhere in Egypt today.
According to their employers, a cameraman for the British broadcaster Sky News and a newspaper reporter based in Dubai were killed.
Sky news says Mick Deane was shot and wounded while covering the violent breakup of protest camps in Cairo. It said he was treated for his injuries but died a short time later. The rest of his crew wasn't hurt.
The Gulf News says journalist Habiba Ahmed Abd Elaziz was shot and killed near a mosque in Cairo as security forces moved in on a sit-in by supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi. The newspaper says she had been on annual leave and was not on assignment at the protest.
Other journalists were among the injured. Reuters says one of its photographers was shot in the leg. An Associated Press photographer working near the mosque was hit in the back of the neck by two birdshot pellets. The photographer received medical care and later returned to work.

- Varner Zinfandel Foxglove 2012 Product #28076 (In Stock)
Made from all Paso Robles Fruit, the 2012 Varner Foxglove Zin is unusually classy, smooth, and mellow for this AVA. Big aromas of briary fruit and spice lead to rich flavors of raspberry, red plum, dried flowers, and cracked black pepper. It's juicy enough to stay fresh through a second (or third!) glass but big and structured enough to handle hearty food. A very fine value.
- Varner Chardonnay Foxglove 2012 Product #28702 (In Stock)
As Robert Parker has often said about Foxglove Chardonnay, "These are among the finest values readers will find anywhere in the world." In the outstanding 2012 vintage, this is once again a no-oak, no-malo, Chardonnay from Santa Barbara and Paso Robles. Generous flavors of honeysuckle, lemon, pear, and yellow apple swirl through a richly textured wine that snaps into focus on the bright, crisp, finish. Delicious stuff and fine, fine, value.

Have not taken a long trip with it yet, only a short 'trial' run. Seems well made. 'Trial' packing easy with fold back top. I recommend using a little lube for the zippers. I ordered the clips, but did not use them. I felt that they did not attach securely enough, so I passed the straps thru the car. Absolutly no problem on the return of the clips. Customer service was great.

Question from Victoria:
We need help. My fiance is Latino and I am Spanish. We want to carry our heritage out in our wedding theme. We want it to be pretty, elegant yet festive and colorful. What colors would you suggest for us? I really have a thing for the colors pink and chocolate, but not sure if that is enough splash for a Spanish wedding. And what about flowers and decor, any suggestions would be greatly be appreciated. Thank you.
Answer from Bridal Expert Angela:
Hi Victoria, and congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Choosing colours for your wedding is a very personal thing, and there is no one true way—it is a personal expression.
Pink and chocolate are great colours, and when you are choosing them they should have the same colour tone. If you are using a dark chocolate colour, use an equally vibrant pink. If you are using a soft pink, you should have a soft brown colour.
Most nationalities use the colours of their flag to make a colour statement (ie. red and yellow is identified with Spain, sometimes with blue, sometimes with green). Some cultures tend to use other specific colours, and this preference is often regional, so may differ depending on the spanish community you belong to. I suggest you take a look at spanish architecture and paintings by spanish artists to identify the colour combinations you like the best. This is your wedding, and the colours you choose should be because you like them, and want them.
In the article shown above, you might choose traidic colours like red, yellow and blue, which include the typical spanish colours. This would be a bold statement and since you have chosen chocolate and pink, I don't think you would be happy using those colours. Brown is a neutral colour, and pink is a great accent colour with the white that accompanies weddings. Although you can choose whatever you like, my suggestion is to go with your first choice of chocolate and pink. Additional touches of white in that colour scheme would be very beautiful and elegant.
If you look at the wedding decorations or the wedding favours that are available, you will get ideas on how to incorporate your colours into your wedding decor. Study magazines, and surf the internet for other ideas. Without knowing your taste, it is difficult to suggest anything more specific.
Instead of making your wedding a big spanish statement, let the wedding be a statement about you and your fiance. You can incorporate the latin influence in key things like the wedding cake table, or the guest book table at the reception, to acknowledge your heritage. Talk to your eldest relatives for family traditions that are no longer kept, and you might get some great personal ideas for making your wedding day uniquely yours.
Once you have your colours chosen, flowers and decor automatically follow those colours, so take your time, and choose what you love.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to email again.

I am a sucker for good Bagels... there are a few places around me that I say has delicious bagels. One of which is closed, the other is about a 25 minute drive for me (but TOTALLY worth it!!) I am hoping to produce my own delicious bagels... we'll see. Christine, thank you for the recipe!!
Bagels (makes 8)Ingredients:
4 cups bread flour
1 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 tsps instant yeast
1 1/4- 1 1/2 cup warm water
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. (start with just 1 1/4 cup of the water-add more if dough seems too dry).
Knead the dough - for about 10 minutes by hand, or half that if you are using a stand mixer-kneed till dough is smooth and uniform.
Cut the dough into 8 equal parts. Let rest for 10-20 minutes.
Take one dough segment and roll out into a "rope". make it long enough to wrap around your hand. Pinch/squish the ends together. ( I didn't do this step, well.. i tried one this way and didn't care for the appearance of the bagels. I rolled the dough into a ball, and then pushed my finger through the middle to make the "O" shape-much easier).
Let the bagels sit for 20 minutes. During that time, preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Start boiling a big pot of water. Lightly grease a baking tray. (I lightly greased mine and wish i would have greased it a little more than just "lightly" - my bagels stuck to the pan when I took them out).
Once the 20 minutes is up - put a few bagels into the pot of boiling water. boil for 1 minute on each side. Let the bagels dry for a minute or two. (I added a step here, since this was a trial and error batch I brushed an egg wash onto 4 of the bagels before adding the toppings - those 4 with the egg wash had a more golden color than the ones that did not get the wash). Add your toppings now.
Bake for 10 minutes and then flip them over and bake for another 10 minutes.
End notes.... the egg wash didn't really do much, my bagels were still on the pale side. The bagels were very heavy and didn't really "puff" up or anything while they were sitting. I think next time I will have to try dry active yeast instead of the instant. Overall, everyone at work liked them, and my mom is itching for me to make cinnamon and raisin bagels for her!!
Happy Eating!!

TUCSON, Ariz. - Lawrence R. Costilow of Tucson, Ariz., pleaded no contest February 19 to two counts of bankruptcy fraud arising from his actions as a creditor in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, United States Trustee Brenda Moody Whinery announced today. Costilow was charged with making a false declaration in violation of 18 U.S.C. 152(2) and engaging in a scheme to defraud under 18 U.S.C. 157(2).
Costilow allegedly loaned a married couple $50,820 in October 1993. The promissory note signed by the borrowers contained their personal guarantee, but did not purport to secure any property as collateral. In May 1995, the borrowers filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 7. Allegedly, Costilow subsequently altered the promissory note by adding "See attached for collateral of this note with property description," and attaching a second page containing a legal description of the borrowers' real property. He allegedly recorded the altered note with the Pima County Recorder's Office in an attempt to secure a lien against the property. A hearing to determine the validity of the note and lien was held in October 1996 before Bankruptcy Judge James M. Marlar. At the hearing, Costilow testified regarding the validity of the note and lien.
A federal grand jury handed down a two-count indictment against Costilow on March 18, 1998. Count One alleged that Costilow, under penalty of perjury, knowingly and fraudulently testified falsely before the Bankruptcy Court. Count Two alleged that Costilow altered a document to grant himself a purported security interest so he would receive preferential treatment over other bankruptcy creditors, and that Costilow knowingly caused the altered document to be filed with the bankruptcy court for the purpose of executing and attempting to execute a scheme and artifice to defraud.
Costilow is scheduled to be sentenced on April 29, 1999.
United States Trustee Brenda Moody Whinery referred this case to the Tucson Bankruptcy Fraud Task Force for prosecution and assisted in the criminal proceedings. The United States Trustee Program is a component of the Justice Department that oversees bankruptcy cases. Whinery is the United States Trustee for Region 14, the District of Arizona.

I had the honor of emceeing the Dalai Lama's talk yesterday at the packed Stan Sheriff Arena in Manoa. Behind the scenes and around the Buddhist leader, there was heavy security--by the Dalai Lama's private security team, the U.S. State Department and deputy state sheriffs.
And in the middle of the bristling force, there was the smiling, playful exiled leader from Tibet. Equipped with a rock-star-like microphone headset (as was I!), he didn't have to stay at the podium and he proved to be a free spirit, improvising where he delivered his speech on stage and walking forward to accept small gifts from attendees. You could see immediate concern on the faces of the security crew as they moved quickly every time he departed from plan. The Dalai Lama's joyful curiosity and impulsiveness come in the face of continuing serious tensions with heavy-handed China. For decades the Dalai Lama and his followers have lived with loss and have faced threats, violence and repression.
What's the secret to having the peace he seems to carry in himself? That was a focus of audience questions. I found it so interesting, that people are still seeking answers to questions that have been asked for centuries. In this age of constant information, what we really need is wisdom.
The Dalai Lama didn't refer to anything political. But he told the audience that finding inner peace means developing "mental strength" and disciplining yourself to rise above others' hurtful actions. He said in every situation you can find something good--and you must look at every facet to find something positive to come out of it.
He urged forgiveness. And he said forgiveness doesn't mean condoning wrongdoing. It means letting go of the bitterness that others have produced in your life. He advised the audience to listen, listen, listen so that you may understand enemies and if possible, find a basis for friendship.
Simple, huh? As we know, the simplest things can be the most difficult. Another simple thing is laughing--and the Dalai Lama laughs often, much of the time at himself.
The Dalai Lama appeared as the first global peace leader to come to Hawaii as part of the Hawaii Community Foundation's brand-new Pillars of Peace program., founded with a lead grant from Pierre and Pam Omidyar.
