My fellow Americans, I'm speaking to you tonight because we are making a mistake. For too long, Democrats and Republicans both have shunned gay Americans. For too long, we've taken a moral and decent minority's rights away based on their orientation. In my own life, I've struggled with my feelings over same-sex marriage, just as many of you have. As a Christian, we are taught to believe that homosexuality is wrong and I took those Biblical moral lessons to heart. We've allowed conservative forces to shamelessly exploit our moral values to wreck the lives of gay and lesbian Americans.
Everyone remembers the 2004 campaign. Everyone remembers the vicious and discriminatory constitutional amendments Republicans put on ballots in states across the country to take the right to marry away from same-sex couples. The value system which led to those amendments is not my value system and it cannot be sustainable in the world as it is today. Conservatism does not work.
We've seen it in the news with people heckling lawmakers at town hall events instead of engaging in a debate. We've seen it in the offensive and, frankly, racist signs that always seem to appear at Tea Party events which no one will claim credit for. It is a vicious cycle of hate. This is the United States of America. We don't hate our neighbors. We don't shun our brothers and sisters. We are in this together.
That is my value system. We are all in this together. That's what makes me a proud Democrat. It's the idea that, as Paul Wellstone said, everyone does better when everyone does better. So I'm here tonight to talk to you about doing better. I'm here to talk to you about lifting up all voices, and guaranteeing equal rights for all Americans regardless of gender, orientation, race, religion or economic status. Our country was founded on that concept and it can't change. Without those guiding principles we will have truly lost our way as a country. As your President I can't let that happen.
Last year, I signed the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Act to finally punish those who would seek to terrorize gay and lesbian citizens. But this is not enough. It can't be enough.
Our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters have fought hard battles in the midst of some of the worst anti-gay campaigns. Our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters have faced down attacks and vandalism, they've faced witch hunts under the odious Don't Ask Don't tell, they've faced job discrimination. Straight people have likely faced job discrimination just for a perception that they were gay. And gay and lesbian citizens have pushed for passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and Congress won't move on it. This bill has 89% support of the American people, and Congress wants to avoid its passage. This is wrong.
I can't imagine the terror some gays and lesbians face. I've received thousands of letters from everyday average gay citizens telling me in stark terms what these bills would do for them. What marriage would do for them. Knowing that our government, the government I'm responsible for right now, has aided this terrorism and has caused untold numbers of suicides amongst gays and lesbians truly sickens me. Knowing that under Don't Ask, Don't Tell, women are often raped and threatened to be outed as gay if they report it makes my blood run cold. It's truly chilling. We are doing this to these people and for my part, I want it to stop. It is time to reverse course.
Also tonight, I speak to you because I have changed my mind on the issue of marriage for gay and lesbian citizens.
I campaigned on a now outdated and obsolete platform of supporting civil unions for gays. Recent events have led me to conclude that civil unions are not enough. Think about this: if civil unions were just as good as marriage, why not call them marriages? The word marriage has special emotional and societal connotations. Being able to say you're in a marriage makes you feel whole, as one of the people suing to overturn Prop. 8 said during the District Court trial. I cannot take that away from gays and lesbians anymore. We all deserve the opportunity to feel whole. We deserved to be loved, respected, even valued – not just by our significant other but by society itself.
I don't know what I would do without my wife Michelle and our kids. I couldn't be the same person. I've been blessed with her love and understanding for years. Her acceptance. Doesn't everyone deserve this? I remember even now how it felt to get married. How it felt to know that we are going to be together forever. Marriage makes your bond, your relationship even stronger. You feel untouchable. You feel safe.
There is simply no reason to deny these feelings, and especially these legal rights, to gays and lesbians any longer. Our government has a lot of work to do to atone for the horrors it has inflicted upon gays and lesbians and to turn away, finally, from the ineffective and unrealistic government philosophy of conservatism, and I hope my speech tonight is a good first step in advancing that conversation. Tonight I am telling you in unequivocal terms: I support the right to marry for gays and lesbians. Let us act and work together to make that a reality and correct decades of wrongs against our people.
Thank you and God bless everyone.

You may not have heard of Filipino pastor Joey Bonifacio, but his LEGO Principle—a simple yet profound discipleship model—could change the American church.
When Jesus spoke of the church, He never said to have stirring Sunday morning services, an amazing praise and worship team, or even a good nursery. Yet those are the elements countless congregations focus on the most.
No, when Jesus commissioned those who would follow after Him, He chose two words amid all the other instructions He could've offered: Make disciples.
That's the subject of this month's issue of Ministry Today. More specifically, we're addressing how churches can create a culture of discipleship that produces true disciples of Christ rather than mere "churchgoers." I can think of few people more qualified to make the case for establishing this than Joey Bonafacio from Manila, Philippines. Joey is one of the senior pastors at Victory Church, a community of more than 65,000 believers who eat, breathe and live out the core principle of discipleship every day. Joey's also the author of a recently released book, The LEGO Principle, which reveals the key elements of connecting with God and connecting with people.
What are the Great Commission building blocks and transferrable principles for seeing your church lead a movement of Christ followers?
In March of this year, two pastors from Michigan and Florida made the trek to Manila to check out our church. Soon into their visit, they expressed their amazement at the way we did church, particularly intrigued by this idea of being one church with multiple services in multiple sites and with multiple preachers.
"We haven't seen a church model like this one," they told me. "In the United States, the typical multisite model broadcasts one preacher to multiple sites." They were also quick to point out that they didn't believe one model was better than the other. I can only agree.
But they specifically wanted to know and understand how one church does 94 weekend services in 15 locations with 51 lead pastors preaching and with approximately 65,000 in attendance. In their own words: "It's worth the trip and a two-week stay to observe."
Preaching. Countless people have done it and are doing it. And as we all know, there isn't just one way of doing it. When it comes to the work of proclamation, we have various strategies and styles—some healthier than others.
Three Common Approaches to Preaching
What I find most often among preachers is something close to one of the three following approaches. While each approach has value, they are not enough in and of themselves.
The inspired approach. We probably know this better as the "I had a word from the Lord" approach. In its best form, this approach reflects a preacher who has been impressed by the Holy Spirit concerning a particular truth in Scripture. It is, in a sense, first-person: "The Lord led me, and I want to tell you how He is leading." In some ways, it reminds us of 1 Peter 4:11: "If anyone speaks, it should be as one who speaks God's words."
The danger here is that if we aren't binding ourselves to the Word of God, it isn't difficult to get off the path of truth and allow our hearts—which the Bible calls deceitful—to guide our preaching more than we allow Scripture to guide us.
Through the years Victory Church has become very clear and very focused on what we are trying to do. Why have we become so fixated on a single strategy? It is, first of all, because we have embraced the Lord's Great Commission as our own. Making disciples is the driving force behind everything we do. Second, it's because we have overwhelming confirmation in our own experience that this one move, if mastered, is unstoppable and indefensible. I believe all churches and ministries can grow if only they master a discipleship process that is simple, biblical and transferable. I know of churches that are missing many seemingly important things such as nice buildings, good music equipment, support staff, big givers and dynamic preachers. Yet they're still growing because they are making disciples.
Churches can be blessed with all those seemingly important things and become completely consumed with activities that have nothing to do with making disciples. Our goal is to make our small groups and everything else we do support our discipleship process.
Unfortunately, crowded church calendars often compete with discipleship. No activity is neutral. We recognize that everything we do and say will either underline or undermine our discipleship process.
—From WikiChurch: Making Discipleship Engaging, Empowering & Viral by Steve Murrell
When a church operates with an "everyone's a minister" mindset, combined with a defined leadership multiplication process, the potential for kingdom impact is infinite
I am an American, but most of my adult life has been spent in Manila, Philippines, as a cross-cultural pastor and church planter. My wife, Deborah, and I originally went to Manila on a one-month summer mission trip to establish a church that would reach Filipino university students. That one month has lasted almost three decades, and that student church we established now conducts 92 weekly worship services in 16 Manila locations. It's also planted churches in 60 Philippine cities and has sent Filipino missionaries to plant churches in more than a dozen nations.
Because our church constantly plants new churches and sends cross-cultural missionaries, it seems we're always in the process of training new pastors, new worship leaders, new kids' pastors and other new leaders to replace those we send. Because of this constant need for leaders, we've had to develop a culture and process for leadership multiplication.
Here's an example of what we've done: Joseph was a talented singer and musician, but his first few times on stage leading worship were less than spectacular. After a staff meeting (that did not include Joseph), the head of our worship department suggested we switch worship leaders for the following week because we had a big-shot foreign guest speaker scheduled. He reminded me that the last time Joseph led worship, it was "forgettable."
My response: I said that I was well aware we were hosting the big-shot American and that Joseph was not our best. However, I didn't see any reason to bench Joseph. I reminded our entire staff that we weren't trying to impress our guest speaker. In fact, he had better impress us or he wouldn't be invited back.
For me, it's more important to equip a worship leader than to have a perfect worship service. I knew that if we rescheduled Joseph, it would shatter his confidence and set the equipping process back a few months. When Sunday came around, Joseph led worship and our big-shot foreign guest preached. Sure, the worship was less than average, but Joseph went on to become a good worship leader and later a great pastor and church planter. He and his wife are now pioneering an underground church network in a restricted nation. Being an upstart worship leader was an integral part of his equipping process. I'm not sure he would be where he is today if we had short-circuited the equipping process to impress our guest speaker.
We hear the phrase all the time, "Every member a minister." Yet because of our performance-driven culture, we often have little tolerance for the messiness of the equipping process that empowers average members to minister.
We do church as if only professional ministers should do ministry. But Scripture offers a different perspective. The biblical job description for professional ministers—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers—is to equip the "nonprofessionals" for ministry, then get out of their way and allow God to move through them. When we forget that job description, we forget one of the primary reasons God called us in the first place.
As full-time pastors, it's common for us to measure the effectiveness of our week by how busy we are with random acts of ministry. On Monday we saved a marriage, on Tuesday we prayed for Fred in the hospital, on Wednesday we taught lesson 26 of our 48-part Ezekiel series, on Thursday we preached to our mailman and on Friday we said a prayer at the high school football game. All that's great, but in the process, did we equip anyone else to do ministry? Usually not.
It's common for pastors to have a week packed with ministry activities and yet still be delinquent in our ministerial responsibilities. It's because we're not only called to do ministry, but also to equip others to do ministry.
I often ask pastors two questions: Do you spend more time ministering to people or equipping people to minister? Do you spend more time preparing sermons to preach, or preparing people to minister? Unfortunately, most full-time ministers I know spend far more time preparing sermons, leading meetings and running religious organizations than actually equipping regular people to do ministry.
Once we accept that we're called not just to do ministry, but also to equip others to do ministry, the next question is: How? Out of the desperation of our endless need for leaders in the Philippines, we developed a simple, four-part leadership development process.
1) IDENTIFICATION. The starting point for equipping spiritual leaders is to help people identify their unique and divine calling. A calling is from God. Everyone has one. Far too many people have no clue what they're called to do.
Leaders help people identify their calling by helping them recognize and develop their God-given strengths and gifts. Leaders also help by recognizing hidden potential in others.
I never would have started teaching the Bible 32 years ago unless my pastor had first identified a potential gift God might have given me. Then he led me (and often pushed or dragged me) through open doors, even if the opening was barely a crack. I'm thankful for people who saw gifts and strengths in me that I never noticed because of my condemnation, ignorance and immaturity.
2) INSTRUCTION. Paul's letters are filled with doctrinal, relational and practical instruction. Many times he sent instructional letters to churches in cities he had never visited, demonstrating that effective instruction does not depend on personal relationship or physical proximity.
My life has been positively impacted by instruction through books and podcasts written and spoken by people I have never met. Two seminary courses, Ethnohermeneutics by Larry Caldwell and The Book of Genesis by Dr. Nomer Bernardino, impact almost every sermon I have preached nearly 20 years after sitting in those classes. I could list many individual books or sermons that have redirected my life, enlightened my mind or softened my heart in life-changing ways.
3) IMPARTATION. As important as instruction is, it's not enough. Paul wrote to the Romans, "I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong" (Rom. 1:11, NIV, emphasis added). Paul sent instruction to people he had never met, but he seemed to need a face-to-face relationship for impartation to happen.
I can read all about evangelism, but something happens when I actually hang around my friends who are evangelists. I get an evangelistic impartation that changes me for the better in ways that instruction alone can't.
Impartation happened when King Saul was hanging around the prophets, then started prophesying (see 1 Sam. 19). Impartation happened when God took the Spirit that was on Moses and put it on the 70 elders (see Num. 11).
I'm not sure that the same level of impartation happens through email messages or online classes. There's something about face-to-face ministry that God has designed to be part of the equipping process.
4) INTERNSHIP. Elijah and Elisha, David and Solomon, Barnabas and Paul, and Paul and Timothy are only a few of the biblical examples of internship. Internship is basically on-the-job training. Internships can be either formal or informal. Over the years, I've had formal interns who requested a mentoring relationship, and I've had informal "interns" who had no idea I was intentionally equipping them for ministry. They thought we were just hanging out together. Whether formal or informal, internship is a vital part of the equipping process.
In closing, let me explain the power of equipping every believer to do ministry with a real-world illustration. In 2000, Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger started an online encyclopedia called "Nupedia." Their goal was to include articles written only by credentialed experts. Before an article could be posted to Nupedia, it had to go through an extensive, seven-step, scholarly review process, which proved to be painstakingly slow. When Nupedia finally unplugged its servers in 2003, only 24 articles had been posted, and 74 were stuck in the review process. There weren't many articles, but they were professionally written.
In 2001, one year after Nupedia launched, Wales and Sanger also started a feeder system called "Wikipedia." They got the name from the shuttle bus at Hawaii International Airport called WikiWiki Transport. Wiki is a Hawaiian word meaning "quick." The Wikipedia idea was to allow nonprofessionals, non-scholars and non-experts to write articles that the Nupedia scholars would then review. If the Wikipedia articles survived the seven-step Nupedia approval process, they would be posted. If not, they would be trashed.
By the end of 2001, volunteers had submitted more than 20,000 "wiki" articles. It took the trained expert scholars three years to create 24 articles and the volunteers one year to create 20,000. Wikipedia now contains more than 18 million articles written, edited and posted by volunteers.
Unfortunately, many churches and ministries today function more like Nupedia than Wikipedia. They allow only credentialed, ordained professionals to minister while volunteers are expected to show up and pay up, but not to engage in serious ministry.
Imagine if the situation were reversed. Imagine if every believer, not just paid leaders, actively engaged in ministry. That's what I call a "WikiChurch." That's what happened in the book of Acts.
Wikipedia may be an imperfect source, but it has made information widely available by simply empowering volunteers. That's what church leaders are called to do—to equip and empower imperfect people to honor God and make disciples.
Steve Murrell is the founding pastor of Victory in Manila, the president of Every Nation Churches and Ministries, and the author of WikiChurch, from which this article is adapted with permission. He and his wife, Deborah, have three adult sons and split their time between Manila and Nashville, Tenn.
Joey Bonifacio is the senior pastor of Victory Fort, one of 15 congregations that make up Victory Church in the metro Manila area of the Philippines. Each weekend, Victory hosts 94 gatherings with 51 lead pastors preaching to a multigenerational congregation of almost 65,000. Though the church's membership has grown almost 25 percent each year for the last 12 years, of greater concern to Victory's leadership team are the number of baptisms (4,613 in 2011) and discipleship groups (currently more than 5,000).
After running a successful business for years—and then splitting time between his company and ministry—Bonifacio joined the Victory team as a full-time pastor in 1998. Today he is a member of the International Apostolic Team of Every Nation Ministries and a member of the board of directors of the Real Life Foundation. He and his wife, Marie, have three sons.
Bonifacio is also the author of The LEGO Principle, which draws parallels between the famous toy-maker and core discipleship elements. Jesus said the two greatest commandments are to love God and to love your neighbor. Just as a Lego piece was designed to do one thing—connect, regardless of shape, size or color—we were made to connect with God and others, Bonifacio says. "If you can connect to the top with God and to the bottom with others, you can pretty much shape the world you live in."

Right now - no. It might be a nice feature to add in a conf file support later on, but there are a lot of issues with enabling tests. <begin of long spiel, feel free to bail out on me now> The problem with globally enabling SRC_TEST="do" (which is what is missing in the generated ebuilds to finalize the enabling of tests) is that we don't even do that for ebuilds we do actively maintain. There are a few reasons for that - some tests are unavoidably interactive; some are just plain broken; some require conditions we can't provide, like a db to talk to, an X display to flash on, or an outbound internet connection. Sadly, not all test sets are created equally. For the 'live' tree we enable as many as we can, because they can identify potential problems - but we don't do it for all ebuilds. The ebuilds generated by g-cpan follow a very generic template with a few fill in the blanks. There is no way to know in advance (at least via g-cpan) what you might be dealing with when you enable tests. So, because g-cpan is supposed to be a generic engine, it doesn't enable tests, much in the same way it also enables all possible keywords at once, something we couldn't do in the live tree (not a single pass :) </ spiel> Hope that explains it a bit better :) On Fri, 5 Aug 2005 15:35:30 +0100 Chisel Wright <chisel@...> wrote: > I've noticed that g-cpan doensn't do "make test". > > Is there something I can toggle/enable/set to make it perform the test > phase? -- firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list

This lesson is designed to engage students with the text and examine the motivations behind the behavior of characters as they seek to accomplish their goals. The lesson begins with some basic acting exercises designed to figure out what characters are doing and saying to achieve their goals. This is followed by a series of performances of the scene using different character choices.
Folger edition of Macbeth 1.7.29-79 Available in Folger print edition and Folger Digital Texts
1. Have the class discuss motivation, tactics and obstacles by citing the techniques used by movie super-heroes to achieve their goals and how they deal with obstacles that stand in their way. For an understanding of the definition of these terms as they apply to acting, click here.
2. Request two volunteers. Student A sits on a chair, Student B stands but really wants the chair. Student A has promised to save the chair for his friend until he/she returns. Establish this situation and then have students improvise ways to achieve their respective goals.
3. Have the rest of the class comment on the obstacles presented by the situation and suggest tactics for achieving the goals of Student A and B. Repeat the improvisation, incorporating some of these suggestions.
4. Follow up with additional improvised scenes with situations suggested by the class. An example might be: boyfriend is backup quarterback who has been passed up for starter by lesser skilled player. Girlfriend wants boyfriend to do something to take starter out of next major game. Boyfriend is not sure what to do.
5. Again discuss the tactics the students used to achieve their specific goals.
6. Have students act out 1.7.29-79 of Macbeth. Encourage them to play the scene using tactics used in the improvised scenes.
7. Repeat the exercise with new readers, trying out different tactics to achieve same goal.
8. Conclude with a discussion. Which tactics were most effective in this scene, and why? What have students learned about the two characters?

Hey, Cake Lady! Thanks! I don't have a jar in the house but I think it's about 12 oz. The size of a smaller jar of olives approximately. I really need to get one & edit the recipe. Just don't get one of those huge jars. The cooking mellows out the heat a lot. I have an asbestos taster so it's not hot to me at all. |
Yep, I just looked and my jar is 12 oz. I have a large brisket that I need to cook........think I could use that cut of beef in that recipe? |
- Posted by ginger_st_thomas (My Page) on Thu, Mar 1, 07 at 16:48
You could but there are so many other good ways to use brisket, I wouldn't. |
I wouldn't normally either but this one is one I bought for a potluck and is way too big for the two of us and this seems like a good way to use part of it. |

To all gardeners, I was just thinking if I'm doing something different from most people. Every time I tell someone I get 2 harvests per blueberries, boysenberries, peaches, and blackberries, they give me this very strange look. I hear of people getting a 2nd harvest from apples but never the plants I just mentioned. Does anyone have a logical explanation for this, or is it normal? Ron |

Some of the berries, blueberries and raspberries, and certain low chill apples, yes two harvests per year. But with most other fruits, like stone fruits for instance, it's once a year unless you have a very unusual setup. Like the ability to provide chilling twice a year. |

I have heard of the others.......technically my blueberries would give me 3 harvests a year. Have never heard of peaches giving two harvests so I am curious about that one. |

Top 5 most anticipated games of Nov. 2010
This month's must buy titles.
Epic Mickey (Wii) – Out 25th November, 2010
Warren Spector, whom some of you may know as the creative force behind some of the Ultima games as well as Deus Ex series makes a return after 6 years with Epic Mickey. The game itself represents a twisted world created by accident, which Mickey himself has to go into and fix. The majority of the game is quite open-ended in nature as you platform your way through various locations and characters from the good old days of Disney. Epic Mickey also involves some RPG elements that help keep the gameplay lively, but the biggest advantage on the Wii (and perhaps the reason why it got canceled on other platforms) is the Paint and Thinner brush feature whereby one can create and erase objects and enemies in the game as and when required.

This is my HG after seemingly trying every powder or pencil I could find. I have sparse and non-existing areas for some unknown med. reason. I don't try to draw in little hairs..I just gently swipe this on. I might ad a powder if I can't get total coverage. It sinks into your skin like a magic marker... .doesn't sit on top. I have both the colors and I think the lighter is best for me. Edit: 8-15-10 Stopped wearing this..just didn't work anymore..found something better. Still looking for my HG.

I bought this because I was tired of using powders and pencils and thought this would look and wear better. I have very light eyebrows and the universal light shade isn't so universal, it actually has a reddish tint to it and looked very harsh against my skin, especially in sunlight. Other than the color, I liked the feel and application of it. If another light shade was introduced, minus the red tint, I'd consider trying it again.

I have the deepest shade of this pen and I love it! My brows are pretty dark, almost black but not quite and even though the pen isnt an exact match to the hair color, it still looks very natural. My pen doesnt show up reddish at all on my skin like with other reviewers. I dont know if that's cos my skin is tan or what. But my brows are of medium density and whenever I use powders or pencils to fill in the sparse areas, it always looked weird/too clown like even when I chose a lighter shade. With this pen, I can draw on hairs and fill in gaps and it looks sooo incredibly natural!!! i'm so impressed with this product. it leaves a subtle sheen to my brows, whenever I'd use powders or pencils they would look dull and powdery. will def buy again.

i have been on the hunt for a good eyebrow pen and this is IT girls, as a young adult i WAY overtweezed to the point of no return and therefore left with barely half an eyebrow left and this is exactly what i needed. for 10 years i used covergirl brow maker pencil but it always smeared if i touch my eyebrow by accident and i do not have that problem anymore. when i put this on i can rub and rub my eyebrows and they are staying put. i am so happy to have found this i could cry. seriously! i got the lighter shade and it is the perfect color. if you have thinning eyebrows i say Run and get this NOW! nevermind the bad reviews on here, i dunno what thats all about because this products is awesome.

Thank goodness for this product! I was devastated after a professional overplucking (before a TV appearance, no less), and this rescued me. The Universal Light shade works perfectly and looks quite natural. My brows are naturally full and so look darker than they are; I have dark ash blonde hair with lighter highlights, and anything darker than a blonde pencil is too overwhelming. The very fine tip makes it easy to apply precisely and you can build little by little to a fuller shape, stopping exactly where you wish. I have been using this over Talika Lipocils (see my review) to encourage my brows to grow back in, and they seem to be doing very well. This is by far the most natural-looking brow product I've used, and the size fits nicely in my makeup bag or a small purse (a lot of brow pencils are too long). It does have excellent staying power - if you fall asleep wearing it, you'll see much of it still there the next morning. I don't know how well this works for those with very light brows, but it is ideal for me. I'm grateful to have had this on hand to remedy a bad situation!

I really wanted to love this as well, but it just didn't work for me. I got the universal light for my dark blonde/light brown browns, but for some reason this turned an auburn shade once applied and looked very harsh. It wasn't light enough either - she really should make more than two shades. I looked like I had drawn on drag queen eyebrows! Not exactly the look I was going for. This will be going back to Sephora.

I took a leap getting this after reading the mixed reviews here, but turns out it works for me. :) I got the lighter of the two colors and my eyebrows are finally EASY to do and turn out great. My problems with powders and pencils have been that they always end up looking too harsh no matter what. I think it's the opaqueness of them. So the transparent tint of the pen is what is making the HUGE difference for me. I love this pen and hope they come out with many more colors. The light works well for me, thank god, but I was really nervous having only a choice of two colors.

I have bark brown hair and thin brows. I bought the dark shade, and I love it. It is great for filling in sparse brows, and it lasts on my oily skin. It is a lot less "harsh" than a regular brow pencil- the liquid inside is kind of sheer. I also go over it with an eyebrow brush after applying, to soften the look even more. I have heard the lighter one can look purple on some people, but the dark does not, I assure you. This is my favorite brow product by far.

I wanted to love this, but 1) it is too dark and 2) the tip of the pen bent after a couple of uses (I was not pressing hard), and I can't get it back to the way it was. This made my brows look too harsh, and while it did fill in a couple of sparse spots, the dark color was too conspicuous. I tried the lighter shade, but that didn't match my brows at ALL. Great concept, but need more flattering shades and better packaging.

Great idea, terrible execution. This felt tip pen barely leaves any color on the brows and the color it does leave is spotty and completely unnatural. Im actually surprised that a brand as good as Anastasia would develop and market such a cheap, crappy product. I wouldnt be surprised to see this pulled off the shelves in a matter of months. DISASTER.

Spending To Survive: Cancer Patients Confront Holes in the Health Insurance System
This report highlights the severe challenges cancer patient may face in paying for life-saving care even when they have private health insurance.
Jointly authored by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the American Cancer Society, the report profiles 20 patients and illustrates the potential difficulties people diagnosed with cancer or other serious illnesses have in maintaining affordable health insurance and paying for their health care. The patients in the report and accompanying video were selected to illustrate typical cases from the many people who call the American Cancer Society's Health Insurance Assistance Service, which helps families affected by cancer who encounter problems navigating the health care system.
The Kaiser Family Foundation also produced a separate video documentary, "The Cost of Cancer," profiling three of patients featured in the report.
The report and video were released at a briefing on Feb. 5, 2009.

I have a bareroot tree suppose to arrive Monday. I am thinking about potting it till the leaves emerge then plant it instead of planting it right then. Anybody else did that? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Plant it immediately. Any delay only reduces the chances of survival. If you pot it you are going to damage some of the new roots when it's moved. If you are worried about sun damage when planting this late and are thinking you'll shade it some in the pot, there are things you can do planted in-ground. Paint the trunk white, 50:50 latex interior paint:water mix. If it's already leafing out shade it some the first week. Like afternoon shade not all day. Gradually increase sun. |
It is always best to have deciduous trees come out of dormancy...and not get moved thereafter. However, if you need to pot up first (why?)...then provide adequate room for rootball and maintain moisture in rootzone. You can manipulate your in-ground planting to coincide with an incoming cool weather pattern. goodluck |
- Posted by Orchardman none (My Page) on Sat, May 17, 14 at 14:41
Thanks I was just going to keep it close to the house so I could make sure it lived. I don't like to get bare root trees but that's the only way I could find a pixie crunch. There is a bad cold front here right now the highs has only been in the 50's the last couple of days maybe it will stay like that till I get it in the ground. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Sat, May 17, 14 at 14:56
Bare root trees are not less sturdy than potted ones, they are more so, and a tree in a pot requires more care because potting medium dries out so quickly. Do a good job of planting it and it will survive most any weather event (keep ground weed free for at least a couple feet from the trunk- preferably with mulch). Maybe if you are further south of me (SE NY) the paint will be helpful- I've read indoor or outdoor latex is fine (what say you FN?) I've planted plenty of leafed out bare roots in June here and they suffered slower establishment than if planted sooner but almost always survive. Some years I don't have time to plant at optimum time and heal in trees to plant much later than their arrival. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Sat, May 17, 14 at 15:22
FN, I searched for the info myself and apparently the issue is that outdoor latex paints that contain antimicrobial agents (mainly fungicide) can injure trees. This is a study I read where a certain brand of exterior latex paint was used to help control borer issues, but no comment was included to be careful what products you use. I mistakenly remembered it as devilifying all exterior latex paints for this use. I'm surprised if there are no interior latex formulations that contain fungicide. |
Here is a link that might be useful: painting trees to reduce borer infestation
"I've read indoor or outdoor latex is fine (what say you FN?) " No, not outdoor, herbicides and/or fungicides are put in outdoor paint. Prevent mold, mildew, moss etc. Best not to put herbicides on a young tree. I would agree that putting it in a pot is increasing your odds of failure. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Sat, May 17, 14 at 17:14
Herbicide, what for? Never had a problem with weeds growing on my house. Oh, by herbicide maybe you mean any chemical that creates a phytotoxic reaction. Anyway, they are apparently only put in some outdoor paints and I suspect the label trumpets the fact proudly. |
I am not fruitnut....but I can add that I have used latex paint (water based) for years as a sun block for my trees. It has served me well with no problems. I really do not think it needs to be micro-managed or over-thought. Just dilute it until it is very thin (at least 50/50). I prefer 2 parts water to 1 part paint. You will be fine. |
- Posted by Orchardman none (My Page) on Sat, May 17, 14 at 19:15
Is it best to soak the bare root tree in water before planting? |
The knowledgeable nursery I have bought from in the past...does that before sending you off with their tree. I suspect a short soaking would not hurt. More importantly: when you backfill your planting, make sure you soak the backfill soil well. Air bubbles/spaces and dry soil is not your friend. |
If you want to pot it then don't replant it until late winter. |
- Posted by Orchardman none (My Page) on Sun, May 18, 14 at 18:59
I ordered a couple of plums bare root a few years ago and they didn't make it. I am really cautious about them. |
- Posted by Orchardman none (My Page) on Wed, May 21, 14 at 21:24
Ok it came in yesterday. I soaked it in water a couple of hours and then planed it and watered again today. When the leaves emerge? |

Recently, AT&T launched its Pre-Game Experience campaign.
The combination: event, Web 2.0, and Social Media Marketing campaign targets young, college football and tailgating enthusiasts. There's also a very Web 2.0 photo contest to win tailgating necessities like flat-screen TVs and BBQ grills.
The micro-site is gorgeous, XML is valid and built on a heavily customized CMS.
The only thing that seems to be missing is a strong social media component. There is no Facebook, Twitter, or any other social media marketing medium that we can find anywhere on the site itself. Perhaps this component is being added later... Until then, take a look: http://gamedaytradition.att.com/. It's a really cool little site!

The Top 10 Garden Chairs
Truth in Decorating: Landscape architect J. Brian Sawyer and decorator Sheila Bridges test the best—whether you're soaking up the sun or just sitting in the shade
By Mitchell Owens
Once upon a time, if you wanted stylish armchairs for a terrace or garden, your options were limited. "I could never find outdoor furniture I liked," says interior designer Sheila Bridges. "When I was growing up, everyone had wrought iron. Now garden furniture has become a big lifestyle category. There are so many more materials to choose from, including teak, mahogany, aluminum, resin, and weather-resistant weaves." She points out that outdoor furniture is so durable some families even use it in playrooms and other kid-friendly spaces. "The wider variety of outdoor fabrics has changed the whole game," agrees landscape architect J. Brian Sawyer, who recommends choosing colors that coordinate with the palette of surrounding plants and flowers. "The effect can be really astonishing," he says. Also, don't forget to pay attention to scale: Large chairs suit open spaces, whereas compact pieces fit city terraces and townhouse gardens. Make sure to select hardy, weather-resistant finishes for when the elements turn foul. Heavy materials will keep your chairs from blowing into the neighbor's yard on windy days, but the best garden furniture can be moved easily, Sawyer says. This will come in handy on afternoons when the summer sun turns your comfortable poolside perch into a hot seat.

Leads (IPA: /liːds/) also known as leashes, are items used to leash and lead passive mobs.
Ingredients | Crafting recipe | ||||||||||||
Usage and behavior[edit]
Right-clicking on a mob while holding a lead will tie it to the mob, allowing it to be moved by the player. Other inventory spaces can be selected while holding the lead. Multiple mobs can be held by leads at once, but require one lead per mob led. Most passive mobs, tame or not, can be leashed, including: horses, wolves, ocelots, sheep, pigs, cows, mooshrooms, chickens, rabbits and squids. Iron Golems and Snow Golems may also be leashed. Bats are the only passive mob which cannot be attached to a lead.
With a mob on a lead, right-clicking on any type of fence (wooden or Nether brick) will attach any leads you are holding to the fence with a visible knot. Multiple leads may be attached to one fencepost. A mob will tend to stay within 5 blocks of the fencepost.
Right-clicking on the mob again, hitting the knot or removing the fence post will break the lead(s). Leads will also be broken if the knot is hit by arrows, including those from Skeletons. Whenever a lead is removed or broken, it will drop as an item at the location of the mob – except when right-clicking the mob in Creative mode. A lead will not break if the animal that it's attached to dies.
A lead will stretch a maximum of 10 blocks before breaking. This is a likely occurrence while flying in Creative mode. Holding a lead attached to a horse while riding another horse on open ground will usually not break the lead, as the horse will follow the movements of the player fast enough for the lead to stay intact. If you pass through trees or jump while on the horse, the lead may break. If leading a mob while riding a boat, the mob will move as fast as the boat, and the lead should not break.
A lead will not prevent a mob which would otherwise despawn, such as a squid, from despawning.
A lead can be used to guide horses across deep water; a horse will throw off a player attempting to ride it into water deeper than two blocks.
If the player is holding a lead connected to a mob, walks through a nether portal, then walks back through it, the player will still have the leads attached to the mob. However, if the mob walks into a nether portal, the leads are broken and dropped as items in the other dimension.
Mobs can be suspended in the air from leads, and can be suspended from fences starting at 7 blocks above the ground. This applies to both one- and two-block tall mobs. Suspending a mob prevents it from moving around, and so may be used as an alternative to keeping mobs in caged in fences. Once suspended, the likelihood of a mob dying from fall damage is high – even at a height of 7 blocks – unless the mob were to fall into water.

It is not possible to attach villagers or hostile mobs by in-game methods, but it can be done by modifying the region save files or by NBT editing. These methods can even be used to attach mobs to other mobs. Players and bats cannot be attached to leads by any method.

In 2013, the Galaxy S3 suffered from supply issues that prevented it from arriving in shops on time. According to analysts, the Korean tech giant has made sure that the same scenario will not happen to the Galaxy S4.
In an interview with Reuters, Lee Seung-woo, an IBK Securities analyst, said, "Based on checks we had with suppliers, Samsung has already done significant work to ensure smooth supply and not to repeat what they had to deal with last time."
Another analyst believes that there will be minor delays, but will only be experienced for short periods. This is according to Greg Noh, an analyst at HMC Investment and Securities. He said, "There could be, again, a supply bottleneck due to tight supply of components … but I think any such disruption will be very brief, as Samsung is making a bigger bet on the S4 than on its predecessor with a backup plan to avoid such disruption."
One analyst is not so optimistic. SK Securities analyst, David Choi, thinks that Samsung has to make the S4's features superior to the highly popular S3. Choi said, "It's got to be a blockbuster phone that beats its predecessor and competitors in nearly all aspects, otherwise Samsung could follow the footsteps of others and fail to manage expectations, which get only higher."
Are you relieved Samsung has taken steps to prevent the Galaxy S4 being delayed? Do you have high expectations for the upcoming flagship? Let us know through a comment below.

Once the "ugly duckling" among the vines, now the Nero d'Avola is an elegant swan, soft and sinuous. This creative experiment of the Tasca d'Almerita winery confirms it, and Nero d'Avola blended with Cabernet Sauvignon give birth to an admirable and enchanting wine, the latest blossom in the Tasca garden. The swan that Wagner saw at Villa Tasca and which ordained the birth of Parsifal. A swan that is young, pure, enchanted, and ultra-modern.
A key component of the classic Bordeaux blend, with several clonal sub-groups, this variety makes its Italian home mostly in the north. It's one of the noblest red wine grapes, and one that can be relied on to produce consistently good wines. The medium-dense clusters are conic-cylindrical in shape. The bluish-coloured berries are rounded, thick-skinned and covered in bloom. A variety that produces extremely elegant wines with high alcohol content, it adapts well to all sorts of different climatic and territorial conditions. The strong, woody stem helps its cold-weather resistance, while the thick, bloom-covered berry allows it to defend itself not only from the cold and damp, but also from heat and insect infestation.
Despite its long history, the Nero d'Avola grape has only become widely known and loved in recent years; now, this native Sicilian variety has reached great heights all over Italy and the world. Passion and dedication lie behind our red monovarietal, starting with the low yields in the vineyard which guarantee a high-quality vintage of notable concentration. By ageing it partly in wood and parly in steel vats, we can supplement the fresh fruity notes of a young wine with elegant spices and liquorice which bode very well for further maturing.

when life no longer seems important? When getting hit by a bus seems preferable to living another day. I'm not entertaining thoughts of suicide, but right now life doesn't have a purpose for me. I'm sittin here at college wonderin why I ever came here. I don't know what I want to do with my life. I didn't really know before now either. I just thought that I'd be able to spend time with the people I thought were my friends. So much for that. The lil snitch even told me not to talk to her, like I'd want to. Oh, please. I guess, she doesn't understand that she's not worth my time anymore. It's this situation that makes me wish I didn't care about her still. She hurts me over and over, and I can't hate her. Why do I feel like this when it's obvious that she doesn't care about me? I hate that I can't hate her. Guess I ain't indifferent bout everything that's been going on.
If you don't feel like your life has purpose, then give it purpose. Get a job (if you don't have one); volunteer somewhere; work with kids and/or the elderly; join a social group; learn a foreign language...
The point is to stay busy. No, this isn't about trying to bury your feelings and such. As I've pontificated on again and again before, busy people are happier people. Studies have proven it. So get busy.
Good Luck,
Some people's kids...I tell ya!
that advice was right. stay busy. i don't mean run yourself into the ground or bury your feelings because that doesn't help anything. do the things you enjoy, talk to people who have proven they won't hurt you. play video games!!! ^^ but seriously. you can always talk to me boo. i hope you know that i mos def will not betray you. i'm sorry everything turned to shit. i don't understand why some people do things like this but just please don't beat yourself up about the hurtful actions of others. there are people around you who like you just the way you are boo.

(April 19) Dole Fresh Fruit Co., Westlake Village, Calif, and Del Monte Fresh Produce NA Inc., Coral Gables, Fla., have settled their fight over marketing an extra-sweet pineapple.
Lawrence Kern, the president and chief executive officer of Dole Food Co. Inc., in an April 18 conference call to investment analysts, announced that litigation between the two rivals had been settled.
The two companies had been feuding since March 2000, when Del Monte sued Dole over its Premium Select pineapple, suggesting Dole had pirated its version from Del Monte Gold. Del Monte had sought a worldwide injunction preventing Dole from "advertising, promoting and misrepresenting" the Gold MD-2 variety.
Of Dole's Premium Select pineapple, Kern said "there are no constraints with our ability to ramp up that business. We have planned a significant growth."
Meanwhile, Dole announced its first-quarter net income increased substantially from 2001. Kern reported net income of $56.3 million, or 99 cents a share for the quarter compared to last year's $34.7 million or 62 cents a share.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Rascal!
Facts about Rascal
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Rascal's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, not good with kids, not good with dogs, and good with cats.
I, along with my siblings, Alexis, Alexander and Venus were all rescued from a busy parking lot. We were found running around the parking lot looking for food. When one of our volunteers saw the kittens, her first reaction was to come to their aid and save them from either starvation or being run over.
My name is Rascal and I am a handsome tabby boy. I am so photogenic, I can't take a bad picture! I have really cool stripes in my fur.
I have had my distemper and rabies shots and I have been fixed. Boy, that was fun!
I am friendly and very sweet. I love to play and eat and eat and eat and play and eat.
I am looking for my forever home. If interested, please call Janet at 561-212-5092.
I will be sitting by the phone waiting for your call. Actually, I will be hanging out with my buddy Magic at the new Petco in Lighthouse Point, 3774 N. Federal Hwy, at the NE corner of Sample Rd. and Federal Hwy. Please stop by and see me. Looking forward to meeting you.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rascal, a Lighthouse Point Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Lighthouse Point, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Lighthouse Point.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Lighthouse Point 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 Lighthouse Point 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 Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Lighthouse Point paves the way for another one to be saved.
