Chennai: Lottery kingpin Santiago Martin and his brother-in-law Benjamin have been arrested by the Salem city police in Tamil Nadu on charges of land grabbing. The Madras High Court had earlier ordered action against him in the case but the previous DMK government sat on the order.
Martin is known to be close to Karunanidhi. The full extent of the land grabbing allegations against Alagiri's family was revealed by CNN-IBN on Wednesday with documentary evidence. CNN-IBN accessed documents to show how Alagiri's wife Kanthi bought temple land worth over Rs 20 crore for just Rs 85 lakh from a man facing over 50 criminal cases.
Land worth over rs 20 crore was sold to Kanthi Alagiri for Rs 85 lakh in 2010. The deal took place after Alagiri became union minister.
Martin has over 50 criminal cases against him and several cases of land grabbing against him.

Stay strong and slim through your 40s, 50s, and 60s by following this science-backed plan
If a genie gave you the chance to change one thing about your body, what would you wish for? If you'd ask for a flatter belly, you've got plenty of company—72% of women ages 45 to 64 named the abs the body part they felt most insecure about, according to a recent survey by the research firm Mintel. It's no wonder. The more birthday candles you blow out, the more difficult it is to keep belly fat at bay.
In your youth, estrogen surges encourage your body to store protective fat in the hips and buttocks to prepare for pregnancy. As estrogen levels begin dropping in your 40s and 50s, lower-body fat pulls up stakes and resettles right where you don't want it: on your stomach.
"The body stores fat in the belly because it can access and use that fat quickly for energy, which was critical hundreds of years ago, when the body was fine-tuned for periods of starvation," says Marie Savard, MD, a women's health physician in Philadelphia and the author of The Body Shape Solution to Weight Loss and Wellness.
Another belly inflator: "Starting around age 30, sedentary women lose 5 to 7 pounds of muscle every decade," says Wayne Westcott, PhD, a Prevention advisory board member and director of fitness research at Quincy College in Massachusetts. "This lowers your metabolic rate by 2 to 4% every 10 years, causing you to slowly pack on weight even if you're not eating more calories."
More from Prevention: 3 Ways to Get Rid of Visceral Fat
A bigger belly not only affects your wardrobe, it also sets you up for health problems. Underneath the subcutaneous fat (the muffin top you can grab with your hand) lies more harmful visceral fat, which builds up around your organs and pushes against your abdominal wall.
"Visceral fat produces chemicals that create harmful inflammation in the body, increasing your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer," says Scott Isaacs, MD, a clinical instructor of medicine at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta and the author of Hormonal Balance. The good news: Whittling your waist a mere 2 inches is enough to take you out of the danger zone.
Follow our plan for a strong, slim, and healthy middle in your 40s, 50s, and 60s. Each decade builds on the one before, so you'll have an arsenal of strategies by the time you reach your 60s. Starting the plan midway? Review the other decades and build to where you need to be. You could see results in as few as 2 weeks!

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Chimhandamba, Nancy email@example.com URN etd-04072010-154232 Document Title Reconciling the benefits of formal and informal remittance channels : a Zimbabwean migrant's perspective Degree MBA Department Gordon Institute of Business Science Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Mr M Holland Keywords
- remittance channels
Date 2010-04-15 Availability unrestricted Abstract Policy makers and financial institutions advocate the use of formal (regulated) remittance channels as the best way to harness remittances. In this research I study the benefits of formal and informal remittance channels from a Zimbabwean migrant's perspective. The factors, particularly the Zimbabwean migrant's demographics, adopted country and channel variables will influence the migrant's choice of remittance channel. Categorical and numerical data that influence the choice of remittance channel used was collected from Zimbabwean migrants resident in South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. Categorical date was analysed using a log linear model - correspondence analysis which explores relationships between two or more dimensions. Numerical data was analysed using correlation analysis to examine linear associations and relationships between variables. The research is intended to create an understanding of what influences the migrant's choice of remittance channels which could assist the policy makers (particularly in Zimbabwe and South Africa) understand how to best harness both remittance channels and improve the financial structures if they hope to increase the migration of remittances from informal to formal remittance channels.

The typical life span of an adult housefly is 15 to 30 days. Females begin laying eggs after just a couple of days, and they continue to lay eggs for most of their adult lives.
Prior to living their adult lives, flies go through a few stages of development. Eggs hatch into larvae, often referred to as maggots, less than one day after being laid. The larvae remain in this stage for four to 10 days before entering the pupa stage, which lasts another three to six days. A warm home or lab-based environment helps contribute to extending the fly's total lifespan.

Be A Better Photographer With These Tips!
Photography can be rewarding and enjoyable as a hobby. There is something special about taking photographs that capture a memory that you can keep forever. Photographs can help us remember old friends and even our old selves. The advice from this article will improve the overall quality of your pictures. Take the advice you\'ll find here to make your photos tell the story of your life.
Help your subjects to prepare ahead by suggesting clothing coordination, particularly with groups and family members. They don\'t need to look exactly the same, but complementary colors and shades are going to make the whole thing look much better. You should get them to wear warm or neutral colors, this will good with all backgrounds. If bright colors are preferred, consider balancing them with articles of black clothing as well, to avoid a barrage of colors that clash with each other.
Effectively mastering the use of ISO functioning can make or break your photographs. You need to keep in mind that if you increase the ISO it increases how much light is let into the camera; this then affects the print and grain on your picture. If this is not an effect you are consciously aiming for, visible grain can make your photo look awful.
There are times when the available light is far from ideal for shooting a great landscape photo. Sometimes, you just can\'t wait for perfect lighting. How can you work around a lack of natural lighting? Photoshop and similar photo editing software can help you resolve lighting problems in your photographs. You can use gradient filters and other tools to soften and balance light in the finished photo.
Learn how to optimize your camera flash. There\'s more to using a flash than just turning it on and leaving it on. You can ruin what would have been a perfect picture by overexposing it. Make sure the flash has been turned on when taking a picture with low light levels.
When deciding on which shots to display, choose the best ones. Do not show every photograph you have ever taken or too many of the same subject matter. Seeing the same things repeatedly can become boring. Keep what you show other people fresh and exciting by showing many different types of photos.
Be sure to mind the background of your image, because you can actually enhance your subject by doing so. Have something simple, such as a leaf or rock, for an extra view in the photo. The main subject will be emphasized and the entire frame can now be seen.
Although not everyone enjoys taking photos, everyone enjoys admiring them. You can create a lasting impression by picking up this fascinating art form. Photography is a gratifying and enjoyable pastime. Letting others see your artistic vision through your photos can be a wonderful release and a conduit for reflection.

A&E doctors are calling for a ban on long pointed kitchen knives to reduce deaths from stabbing.
A team from West Middlesex University Hospital said violent crime is on the increase – and kitchen knives are used in as many as half of all stabbings.
They argued many assaults are committed impulsively, prompted by alcohol and drugs, and a kitchen knife often makes an all too available weapon.
The research is published in the British Medical Journal.
The researchers said there was no reason for long pointed knives to be publicly available at all.

Genuine Fractals
This photograph was taken with a Canon S10, a 2.1 Megapixel point-and-shoot. At 300 dpi (the resolution needed for photo-realistic output with an ink-jet printer) this amount of resolution is good for just a 3.5 X 4" print. But, what about making an 8X10" print? Without "ressing-up" the image you'll be at 120dpi, nowhere near good enough.
At a demo of the then brand-new Nikon D1 in Toronto, in the fall of '99, I was shown quite impressive 11X17" prints that I was told had been run though a PhotoShop plug-in called Genuine Fractals 2.0. It was claimed that this utility did a much better job of ressing-up an image than does the bicubic interpolation, the technique used within PhotoShop. I also read some reviews which had high praise.
Since I'm a natural-born skeptic I decided to try this out for myself. The program sells for U.S. $159 and is available for download over the Net. Not inexpensive for such a utility, but worthwhile if it could do the job.
PhotoShop Bicubic Interpolation
The frame above was scaled to an 8.8 X 10" size at 300 dpi using PhotoShop's built-in bicubic interpolation. To save space it is shown cropped to the center section only, and of course is reproduced here at 96 dpi for web presentation.
Genuine Fractals 2.0
This frame was similarly scaled and reproduced but using Genuine Fractals 2.0.
What does one see on a print, and how does it compare to what's displayed above? Essentially the same. On the prints the Genuine Fractals image is slightly smoother and appears slightly shaper. But, not a lot. There isn't a whole lot of difference.
The reason for this is that the program apparently works best when used with a large original file, something in the order of 20MB or better. Consequently I can't recommend the program for enhancing images created with small digital cameras.
Operational Issues
Genuine Fractals is somewhat awkward in operation. It installs as a PhotoShop plug-in (or with any other compatible photo editing software). You prepare your file for printing as usual and then "save as" an .STN file, Genuine Fractals' proprietary format. At this point you can save the file with "lossless" compression and get about a 2:1 compression ratio or as "lossy" and get about 5:1.
Here's the issue though. This capability, one of the program's two major capabilities promoted by Altamira Group (Genuine Fractals' publisher), only is worthwhile if storage space is an issue for you. Frankly, with 25 Gigabyte drives costing just a few hundred dollars and CD storage at less than $1 for 650 Megabytes, this just isn't an issue for most people anymore.
When you "load" an .STN file you can then specify the amount of "ressing-up" that you require. So, whereas with PhotoShop's built-in utility you simply perform the task, with Genuine Fractals you need to save the file and then reload it to change resolution.
Another downside of Genuine Fractals is that you can't save your files with Adjustment Layers intact. This makes the program inappropriate for me as a primary storage format since I require archiving files with Adjustment Layers. Consequently any space saving provided by Genuine Fractals is negated because I would now need to save both a .PSD file with adjustment layers and an .STN file.
A couple of months after I started using Genuine Fractals to enhance prints from my digital point-and-shoot I began using it with very high quality images done with my Imacon FlexTight Photo scanner. I needed to make some 13X19" format prints from 35mm images, to match the size of some prints made from 6X6 scans. This meant either dropping below 300 DPI or ressing-up them up slightly to achieve that size. The quality using Genuine Fractals was very good indeed. The higher the quality of the original the more the program has to work with. For this application I now can recommend Genuine Fractals much more than for use with low-end digital images.
The Bottom Line
This is a worthwhile program for anyone working with large digital files that needs to make them a bit larger but without losing too much quality. Just remember that nothing can add resolution to an image that doesn't have it to begin with. All you can hope to do is smooth the jaggies.

January, as I understand from my copy of the American Heritage Dictionary, is the month of the ancient Roman god Janus who is depicted as looking in opposite directions. While not entirely a relevant analogy, it is interesting to note that each January, we do look ahead by making resolutions, but look back too, so as to continue the good work and avoid making mistakes made earlier.
Making resolutions, however at times, seems somewhat of a customary act, in addition to the fact that a fair number of us have trouble keeping them; so, to come out of the box, I have compiled some random thoughts, mostly gardening related, which have come to my mind with the hope of working on them in the coming year. Though a few do sound trivial, they seemed worth mentioning:
So, let's make 2013 the most exciting gardening year ever!

I spend some time with a friend's puppy, a Pomsky & now really want one. However I have always had rescues, currently two, and have moral objections to puppy mills. I do know personally a woman who responsibily breeds yellow labs, so I know there are good, honest breeders out there. But how do you find one? Is there an organization I can contact? I volunteer at a local shelter, so I know there are wonderful dogs waiting for loving homes, but this once I want a specific kind of dog. Any suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Since a pom sky is just a cute name for a cross between a husky and a Pomeranian, there's no such thing as a good breeder for them. They are basically just producing puppies for sale because people find them cute and they're a fad. They have no idea how the puppies will even look because they could have different characteristics from each parent. You could buy one and it may not look at all like your friend's dog.A responsible breeder is trying to adhere to a set standard, which doesn't exist for mixed breeds. That said, you may be able to find one in a shelter since they seem to be popular now. |
Yes I did my research & know they are a " designer" dog and not a true breed. Although most breeds started out by someone somewhere breeding two different dogs for their characteristics. My point is that there are some good breeders out there, but how do I find a trustworthy one. Deb you are right, sadly when the fad fades, they will turn up in shelters, just like other fad digs. Thaks for taking the time to respond! |

Wow! Looks great! I'd love to know what plants you used, too. Especially the groundcover - and if it's in full sun. We have an awful looking skinny area on the side of the house and I've not seen a pretty groundcover that will do well without much water and in full sun. Glad you posted the pics and that your attempt worked :) |

Tribal-inspired fashion is HUGE this year in fashion, which is forwarded by Sebastian Kim and Hailey Clauson's shoot for Numero 124's June/July issue.
This shoot is a mix of vicious, fierce and ethnic-inspired fashion that makes for a very modern vibe. Stylist Charles Varenne paired modern accessories with the Spring collections from Prada, Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci, resulting in a contemporary, chic, tribal spread. Sebastian added more tribal charm using magically soft sepia and a cool arctic vibe that is not often seen in fashion editorials. The gilrlish delicacy and ferocity of the model contrasts well with the warrior tone of the entire shoot. This spread's set was designed by Anne Koch.

Not at all. People are always asking these kinds of questions. The main rule here is that you can't advertise things for sale, although you can offer to mail them if someone is willing to send money for postage or send an SASE. I can spare 15-20 good size ones for postage. Email me if you don't get any better offers closer. |

Most everyone's water is not as clear as they like it on the initial fill. I'm sure mine is no different and I'm sure it will have a yellowish dull tint. I actually have an older INTEX cartridge filter/pump that I had with one of those temporary soft side pools. Do you think it is worth trying to use it to filter the water prior to the water entering the pool. I could set up a plastic 55 gallon drum with two water hoses feeding the drum and then the pump pulling out of the drum. This would provide cleaner water and put less gunk on the pool catridge filter at start up, but is it worth the trouble? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hayward makes a Bobby Filter for the end of your hose. If you have a well, it might be worth the $50. It isn't perfect but its a heck of lot easier for catching larger particles that may be in suspension as the well is exercised. Scott |
Thanks Scott. We are not on well water, but community water, but even then I'm sure it's not all that clear. Is the initial fill water color problems mostly due to unclean water, or is it actually more to do with the chemical imbalance, (pH, alkalinity, free chlorine, etc). I assume since this is the water we drink it can't actually be that dirty?? |
- Posted by womanowned (My Page) on Sun, Jun 19, 11 at 17:03
It is mostly chemical imbalance than dirty water. The color settles down with good brushing and getting the pH of the water to the correct level. |
We are almost to the point of filling our 2,000 gallon swim spa and I am thinking of getting a water truck to fill it. We have a bored well and I don't know how long it will take to recharge if that much water is taken from it at one time. Has anyone used a water truck, and should I expect the quality of that water to be better than my well water? We are putting in a bromine salt generator. The company doesn't put many of these in, and it has to have a separate touch screen control panel that will be inset in the deck, so the rep is coming to install it. I am wondering now if the color of the water will be off for a longer period of time between the water tank and the salt generator?? |

By tomorrow, on April 7th, US federal agencies are expected to publish their first ever open government plans highlighting how they will become more transparent, participative and collaborative.
In the next few days there will be considerable discussion about who has the best and most comprehensive plan, who is lagging behind, what are the most exciting flagship initiatives proposed, how the IdeaScale tool drove new levels of creativity.
While I am absolutely positive that, despite the tight timeframe and the lack of additional resources, the Open Government Directive has had a great impact on how agencies look at the whole issue of transparency, I remain concerned about the long-lasting nature of this impact.
Unless agencies clearly turn these additional costs to their advantage and plan for returning on the openness investment rather than just complying with requirements, open government may not last. On the other hand, unless the Office of Management and Budget or some other powerful watchdog keeps the open government plans on course, by linking their performance to overall agency budgets, open government may not last.
The next challenge for the White House and open government supporters after counting the plans the day after tomorrow and celebrating their first success, will be to strike the right balance between the carrot and the stick.

Bruins intent on improving their offense
April, 15, 2012
James Murphy | ESPNBoston.com
[+] Enlarge
Brian Babineau/NHLI/Getty ImagesBruins winger Milan Lucic hopes to get back on track in Game 3 in Washington.
There are no excuses coming from the Bruins dressing room as the series heads to Washington for Games 3 and 4.
"Especially after being the second-highest scoring team in the league and only getting two goals in two games is obviously something that we're not happy with," winger Milan Lucic said Sunday before his team departed for Washington. "Especially our top two lines, we got to be better, all of us, especially myself. We have to create opportunities in the offensive zone and we got to take it upon ourselves to be better."
The Bruins know they have find a way to get pucks through the Capitals' defense, which has blocked 49 shots in two games. Capitals goalie Braden Holtby has stopped 72 of 74 shots.
One of the biggest problems for the Bruins thus far has been a lack of a net-front presence, but coach Claude Julien cautioned against overcompensating.
"It's a double-edged sword. We talk about net-front presence and too much of it is not better," Julien said. "Sometimes we had too much of it which, they are really covering us well, and when you have about five bodies in front of the net [it's] pretty hard to get a puck through. So there's a little bit of everything here that I talked about. You've got to have net-front presence at the right time and you've got to be able to make some plays in the area. We give them credit, they're doing a good job of really protecting the front of the net and protecting their goaltender and trying to minimize the shots getting through. We're going to make some adjustments here to try and rectify that."
While the Bruins would rather be heading into Game 3 up two games to none, at least they're not down 2-0 in the series, as they were twice in their 2011 Stanley Cup run. It's certainly not too late to turn things around.
"The good thing is it's still 1-1, there's a lot of hockey left to play in this series and it's up to us to kind of kick it into gear and find ways to battle through their tight defensive checking," Lucic said. "That's something that's a mindset that we want to win those battles and we're going to come out with the puck and when we get it we are going to make good strong plays and make the most of it."

Mandy Neff
Since I'm just meeting all of you for the first time, I want to tell you a story about being new—and how sometimes it's fun and sometimes it isn't.
Once there was a second grader named Paul. In September, he moved to a new town, had a new teacher and a new class and a brand-new desk. There was a boy sitting across from him with bright red hair, and his name was Ryan. He told Paul a knock-knock joke, and he was really funny—so that first day was a good day.
The second day, three other boys came up to Ryan and he thought, "Oh, great. They want to make friends with me too!" But that wasn't what happened. They came up and started poking Paul, and even calling him names.
He looked at his friend Ryan. Ryan really didn't want to hear what was going on, so what do you think he did? What would you do if you didn't want to hear something that was going on?
Wait for kids to answer.
Well, what he did was this. Stick your fingers in your ears.
That second day wasn't such a good day. But the next day was even worse, because the three boys came up to Paul at lunchtime, and they stole his lunch. He didn't have anything to eat!
The next day, Paul didn't come to school at all. The three boys were cheering that day because Paul wasn't there. Then, even though he didn't want to, Ryan heard them planning mean things they were going to do when Paul came back to school. But this time he didn't stick his fingers in his ears. What do you think he did?
Wait for answers again.
That's right, he told the teacher. And when Paul came back to school and there was recess, the three boys came around. But then, the teacher came around too.
And Ryan said,"C'mon, come play with me!" And that day was the best day of all, because that day, Paul and Ryan became best friends.
And so my hope for all of you this year is that, when you hear something you'd rather not hear, that you don't stick your fingers in your ears. I hope that when you see or hear someone that needs your help, that this year, you find a way to stand up for someone who needs you.

Exploring the Intersection Between Dietary Lipids, Inflammation, and Metabolic Disease
Obesity, diabetes type 2, atherosclerosis, and fatty liver disease exact a huge toll on society.
The Koliwad Lab investigates the role of chronic tissue inflammation in these and other common, yet devastating metabolic diseases.
The excess consumption of dietary fats, particularly those made up of saturated and trans fatty acids, can produce toxic effects on tissues throughout the body. A
specialized form of "lipotoxicity" affects myeloid cells of the innate
immune system. This myeloid-specific lipotoxicity produces a response that
combines classical (M1) inflammatory activation, ER stress, and programmed cell
death, a constellation of events that fuels a chronic low-grade inflammation
that promotes tissue dysfunction in diet-induced obesity.

That Jeff Robertson (Forum, March 11) finds it appalling that someone would believe in the Bible's account of creation is sad. But his contention that it's a "scientific fact" that human beings evolved from lower life forms is even sadder.
I respect his right to hold such beliefs but would point out to him that evolution is a theory and not a fact. It is something that cannot be proved.
The second law of thermodynamics (not a theory) says that the whole universe is running down into complete disorder, which would contradict the evolutionist's premise that the universe is evolving upward from an ancient particle.
Much of what is written in the Bible can be scientifically proved as fact, and nothing has been proved as false. I find it much easier to believe that man was created by God than to believe we occurred by accident.
Just look at the wonder of the eye or the miracle of birth or the beauty of a hummingbird. Accidental? I think not.

Wastewater Bypass at Park View Has Stopped
Posted: 04/19/2013
The main pump station valve failure for the Park View Water & Sanitary District, near Eldridge, has been temporarily repaired. Untreated wastewater flowing into nearby Glynns Creek has been stopped.
The district believes it will not have to bypass untreated wastewater in order to make permanent repairs. However, children and pets should still be kept away from Glynns and McDonald creeks until April 20.
Glynns Creek flows north, winding about two miles through Scott County Park, before it flows into McDonald Creek, and then the Wapsipinicon River. Park View is about five miles north of Davenport.

What Hollywood Won't Learn From Making a Movie About a Peg-Based Board Game
Boiling Point By Robert Fure on May 21, 2012 | Comments (5)With what is being called a massive failure at the box office, pulling in just $25 million domestic dollars (or 12% of its budget), Peter Berg's Battleship is sinking, but not before firing a warning shot across the bow of stupid ideas. And by a "warning shot across the bow" I mean a giant, moronic cruise missile. Battleship wasn't destined for failure – after all, almost any idea can be made good. If you ignored the title, the idea of a few naval vessels fighting off aliens sounds pretty cool and not altogether stupid. However, you slap the Hasbro logo in-front of the credits and include a sequence where a missile destroyer blindly fires into the ocean while a captain shouts out "J-11″ and the stupidity quotient rises exponentially.
Fans of ABC's "Castle" and Showtime's "Californication" are in for a treat as their previously fake books have suddenly become very real.

Weymouth New Testament (WNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 For I would have you know in how severe a struggle I am engaged on behalf of you and the brethren in Laodicea and of all who have not known me personally, | 1 I want you to know how much I am struggling for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally. |
2 in order that their hearts may be cheered, they themselves being welded together in love and enjoying all the advantages of a reasonable certainty, till at last they attain the full knowledge of God's truth, which is Christ Himself. | 2 My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, |
3 In Him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are stored up, hidden from view. | 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. |
4 I say this to prevent your being misled by any one's plausible sophistry. | 4 I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments. |
5 For although, as you say, I am absent from you in body, yet in spirit I am present with you and am delighted to witness your good discipline and the solid front presented by your faith in Christ. | 5 For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how orderly you are and how firm your faith in Christ is. |
6 As therefore you have received the Christ, even Jesus our Lord, live and act in vital union with Him; | 6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, |
7 having the roots of your being firmly planted in Him, and continually building yourselves up in Him, and always being increasingly confirmed in the faith as you were taught it, and abounding in it with thanksgiving. | 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. |
8 Take care lest there be some one who leads you away as prisoners by means of his philosophy and idle fancies, following human traditions and the world's crude notions instead of following Christ. | 8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. |
9 For it is in Christ that the fulness of God's nature dwells embodied, and in Him you are made complete, | 9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, |
10 and He is the Lord of all princes and rulers. | 10 and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. |
11 In Him also you were circumcised with a circumcision not performed by hand, when you threw off your sinful nature in true Christian circumcision; | 11 In him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ, |
12 having been buried with Him in your baptism, in which you were also raised with Him through faith produced within you by God who raised Him from among the dead. | 12 having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead. |
13 And to you--dead as you once were in your transgressions and in the uncircumcision of your natural state--He has nevertheless given Life with Himself, having forgiven us all our transgressions. | 13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, |
14 The bond, with its requirements, which was in force against us and was hostile to us, He cancelled, and cleared it out of the way, nailing it to His Cross. | 14 having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross. |
15 And the hostile princes and rulers He shook off from Himself, and boldly displayed them as His conquests, when by the Cross He triumphed over them. | 15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. |
16 Therefore suffer no one to sit in judgement on you as to eating or drinking or with regard to a festival, a new moon or a sabbath. | 16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. |
17 These were a shadow of things that were soon to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. | 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. |
18 Let no one defraud you of your prize, priding himself on his humility and on his worship of the angels, and taking his stand on the visions he has seen, and idly puffed up with his unspiritual thoughts. | 18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions. |
19 Such a one does not keep his hold upon Christ, the Head, from whom the Body, in all its parts nourished and strengthened by its points of contact and its connections, grows with a divine growth. | 19 He has lost connection with the Head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow. |
20 If you have died with Christ and have escaped from the world's rudimentary notions, why, as though your life still belonged to the world, do you submit to such precepts as | 20 Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules: |
21 "Do not handle this;" "Do not taste that;" "Do not touch that other thing" -- | 21 "Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!"? |
22 referring to things which are all intended to be used up and perish--in obedience to mere human injunctions and teachings? | 22 These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings. |
23 These rules have indeed an appearance of wisdom where self-imposed worship exists, and an affectation of humility and an ascetic severity. But not one of them is of any value in combating the indulgence of our lower natures. | 23 Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence. |

Volume 5, Issue 1 August 2011
Pioglitazone (Actos▼) is an oral treatment for type 2 diabetes, either on its own or combined with other oral antidiabetic agents or insulin. It is also available as a combination tablet with metformin (Competact▼).
The potential risk of bladder cancer with pioglitazone was first identified at the time of licensing, observed in male rats in an animal toxicity study that supported the initial licence application. There was no evidence of a similar risk in humans at that time. The marketing authorisation (licence) holder committed to investigate the risk further in animal studies and observational studies in human use. The European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has reviewed the results of these studies and other relevant data regularly. After an increase in healthcare-professional reports of bladder cancer suspected to be associated with pioglitazone, in March 2011 the EMA initiated a further European-wide review to investigate this safety signal.
The review found a small increased risk of bladder cancer in patients taking pioglitazone; however, the benefits continue to outweigh the risks for those who respond to treatment and in whom there are no identified risk factors for bladder cancer. Observational studies report relative risks ranging from 1.12 to 1.33 when diabetic patients receiving pioglitazone are compared with diabetic patients receiving other antidiabetic medicines but not exposed to pioglitazone. The increase in absolute risk is therefore likely to be small. Whether the increased risk occurs early in treatment or only after prolonged exposure remains unclear. CHMP stated that the small increased risk could be reduced by appropriate patient selection.
Advice for healthcare professionals:
Please report suspected adverse reactions through the Yellow Card Scheme at www.yellowcard.gov.uk. When reporting please provide as much information as possible, including information about medical history, any concomitant medication, onset, and treatment dates.

Used Cell Phones
Used Cell Phones
Cell phones are a common way of keeping in touch with friends, relatives and other people we associate with. Whether you decide to buy a new cell phone or used cell phones, they all serve the same purpose. In fact, many people are beginning to realize the huge advantages to buying used cell phones. There are many advantages to buying used cell phones. First, it is convenient. Purchasing a used cell phone is convenient because you won't need to go through the troubles of entering into a cell phone contract. Activating used cell phones only takes a few minutes and you can do it right from the comfort of your own home.
The financial burden of buying a new cell phone is sometimes difficult to handle. New cell phones can be quite expensive. You can often buy used cell phones from the local stores. Buying a used cell phone will allow you to save big on the purchase. You can use the money you saved to take care of other financial obligations you may have. Frankly, you can save a huge sum of money when you buy a pre-owned cell phone instead of going for a new one.
With used cell phones there are no lengthy contract extensions involved. The big cell phone carriers don't want you to know that if you purchase used cell phones online, most likely there will not be any contract extension. Assuming you downgrade your plan after just a few months or you just cannot pay your phone bill you will not be forced into a contract, which involves paying penalty if you change carriers. You don't want to be signed into a long term contract. It feels good having the freedom to do what you want, when you want.
Many people have no idea that a lot of stores that sell used cell phones offer extended third party warranties that will cover you up to three years in case something goes wrong. Some companies offer extended coverage options that are really affordable. Another reason to buy used cell phones is keep the environment cleaner. If more people purchase used cell phones rather than going for the new ones it can really benefit the planet.
When looking to purchase used cell phones, you can go to any cellular phone store. You will find many different used cell phones, some more expensive than others. Used cells phones can be purchased from many retailers. You can perform a simple Internet search using phrases such as "used cell phones". Any of these should bring back numerous retailers that carry used cell phones or simply go to a local store offering used cell phones. You may be able to buy a pre-owned cell phone from your current cell phone provider. If you visit their website you will probably find a listing of special pricing for pre-owned cell phones. You can also visit their retail location to find out if they have any used cell phones available for purchase.
Buying used cell phones can be a wise choice, but make sure you research properly before making a purchase, especially if you are buying from a private individual. Most stores are legitimate businesses and will strive for customer satisfaction. It's up to you whether to purchase from a private individual or a retail store.

PDF: making text fields grow to accommodate text
Note: 1-25-11 I updated this document today, adding another quote from the original article and a quote about saving as a dynamic PDF.
Creating a dynamically expanding pdf is something that I've tried several times over the last two years with no success until now.
Google results are littered with the sad stories of others attempting this and being shut down.
I even contacted the instructor of the advanced Acrobat Pro/Live Cycle Designer course, to no avail.
The goal is to create a form that includes expandable text areas and when the they expand the rest of the content adjusts to accommodate them. Ideally these fields would even allow content to break across pages.
Along the way I would frequently find encouraging check boxes or form properties like "expand vertically" or "dynamic" vs. static pdf; nothing quite worked.
The check the box to allow text to vertically expand by itself is great, unless you want to print the form… the content that goes past the text box, is hidden and a plus sign denotes that something is there… Pretty much useless…
Last month I found an article by Stefan Cameron (forms.stefcameron.com) that described some script that allowed fields to grow horizontally to a max width. It seemed reasonable enough and I was impressed, but when I tried to apply the code to a vertical growth it merely expanded over the top of the content below it.
At that point I started creating code that capture the position and height of the previous element and move everything down the page when ever a text field expanded. That code didn't go anywhere fast and it seemed like it was going to be a nightmare to find all the necessary functions and tags to achieve it.
I'm glad I abandoned that project.
Adobe provides examples of inserting new fields in documents and that the adjacent content in those documents moved out of the way as the fields were inserted. So I knew there was an internal function that allowed for some document flow, but what was it?
This week I was inclined to try again and upon revisiting Stefan Cameron's site I found something that caught my eye: flowable layout. It seemed possible that we could achieve our goal.
After a bit of testing and reading through pages of comments I created two working documents that do indeed expand and flow! The key is to follow all the necessary steps and it can be done! And no scripting was required.
This is seriously exciting!
Here's the comment that summed it all up: (forms.stefcameron.com/2006/07/24/previewing-as-dynamic-pdf/#comment-83939):
@Craig Lambson,
The key to making the text fields grow to accommodate text is to:
1. Make them multiline (Object palette > Field tab > Allow multiline property).
2. Make them expandable in height (see "Making a Field Expandable" here).
3. Put them in a flowed subform (that is, a subform whose "Object palette > Subform tab > Content property" is set to "Flowed") that allows page breaks within its content (via the "Object palette > Subform tab > Allow Page Breaks within Content property").
4. Allow their contents to break across pages (Object palette > Field tab > Allow Page Breaks within Content property).
Note that all subforms that ultimately contain the text fields (i.e. all subform containers up to the root subform which are parents of the text fields) must be flowed and must allow page breaks within their content.
I also address an issue with content that gets cut-off at the bottom of a page in my MAX 2007 Tutorial by placing the content directly inside the root subform which is flowed by definition.
Oh boy, thank goodness for Craig Lambson's question and Stefan's concise answer.
To put that in context: you must edit your form in LiveCycle Designer (I'm using V.8). You won't find those options in Acrobat Pro.
The main article itself is invaluable; it's a check list for ensuring your dynamic form is indeed dynamic!
1. If you haven't saved your form, make sure the Preview Type is set to "Interactive" and that the Default File Type for New Forms is set to a dynamic PDF format. You may also want to set the XDP Preview Format to a dynamic PDF format while you're at it.
2. If you've saved your form as a dynamic PDF, make sure the Preview Type is set to "Interactive".
3. If you've saved your form as a static PDF, none of these settings will help you. You must first save your form as a dynamic PDF.
4. If you've saved your form as an XDP, make sure the Preview Type is set to "Interactive" and the XDP Preview Format is set to a dynamic PDF format.
5. If you're tired of running into these problems and want to avoid them in the future, just set your Default File Type for New Forms to a dynamic PDF format.
Here's my first test document:
FlowableTest.pdf with two comment fields that expand until you grow tired of it! Note: the fields expand after you leave the field.
- Screen shot. Here are the empty fields
- Screen shot. Here are the fields, one expanded with extra content
- Edit the document in LiveCycle
Once you're in edit mode you follow the steps:
The key to making the text fields grow to accommodate text is to:
- Make them multiline (Object palette > Field tab > Allow multiline property).
- Make them expandable in height (see "Making a Field Expandable" here).
- Put them in a flowed subform (that is, a subform whose "Object palette > Subform tab > Content property" is set to "Flowed") that allows page breaks within its content (via the "Object palette > Subform tab > Allow Page Breaks within Content property").
*Note: you can highlight all your objects and use the contextual menu (right click) to 'Wrap in a subform'.
- Allow their contents to break across pages (Object palette > Field tab > Allow Page Breaks within Content property).
I have a few other settings that I like too:
- Screen shot: Left justify and Vertically Align the content of the Text Field
- Screen shot: Set the width of the field, anchor it: top, left, remove the margins if needed and position the caption with no reserve
My second test was less successful as it involved adapting a current form to use this method of expanding fields. The form was a converted word doc and it basically exploded when I set the layout to flowable. There were so many remnants from word that most of the form was jettisoned off the bottom of the page. It looked like garbage.
Here's the form before:
Here's the form after all the elements are wrapped in a subform and 'Flowable' layout is applied:
So we resolved to rebuild the form from scratch and it's working nicely:
A few important (but less obvious) tool windows / panels:
- Hierarchy
- Tab order
Hierarchy is important because the flowable layout (with: 'top to bottom' flow direction) relies on the order of the elements for positioning. For example, inserting a text box automatically adds it to the bottom of the document. Hierarchy allows you to put it in your desired location. Tab order is valuable for the same reasons.
The last points I'll mention are margins, pages, tables, a workflow suggestion and a note about Reader:
- Margins: You'll need to use each elements' margins for spacing.
Every text box, field, table and line will be smashed together unless you space them out with margins.
The other option is to insert subform with the content 'Positioned' into your flowable subform. In these sections you can move things around as you see fit. I found this valuable for pasting in strangely formatted content from word when it didn't have any form fields in it. - Pages:
One interesting limitation in pdfs is that subforms cannot extend past the existing page. So each page must have it's own flowable subform. I tried repeatedly to highlight all the content on my 3 page form and put it into one subform but that was fruitless. - Tables: Tables are archaic in LiveCycle. Only one element can go in a row so you have experience building web pages a dozen years ago you'll be a pro. In order to make things appear as if there are multiple fields or descriptions in a table row you have to manipulate borders across multiple rows and columns. Personally I'm glad I already created these nero-pathways.
- My workflow
In the end I needed to create a dynamic pdf from scratch in LiveCycle and use an existing pdf as the model.
For my workflow I opened the model in acrobat pro and was able to quickly switch back and forth to check my positioning and highlight, copy, paste content. As a rule I don't re-type anything, it only creates an opportunity for error. - Reader
As with any PDF form the most important point (especially for the end user) is that they can 'Save' the finished document. Printing and emailing is good but allowing them to save is courtesy that I consider a necessity. To do this, open the finished form in Acrobat Pro and navigate to the 'Advanced' menu. Then choose 'Extend Features in Adobe Reader'. And save the document. I always save over my existing document. It converts back later if/when you need to make edits.
- Screen shot: 'Extend Features in Adobe Reader'.
That's it. Winter PDF Magic!
Just don't forget to save it as a Dynamic PDF: .
- Again here's the test document if you'd like to download it:
FlowableTest.pdf with two comment fields that expand until you grow tired of it! - 5-5-14 – Here's an additional sample that's more of a real-world example: Self_Assessment_Form-fillable-expanding-1
All this advice is great thanks, and is still relevant to CS6.
Thanks for the walkthrough! The test file is indispensable.
Do you know if there is a way to get the field to resize as the user creates new lines? With the instructions above the field resizes to fit the content after we click another field (onBlur I would guess).
You're welcome.
You're right, the field resizes 'onBlur'. I suspect there could be a way to expand the field as the user is typing but since we're relying on the built-in "flowable" method we don't have obvious access to the underlying functions and vars. Stefan Cameron (http://forms.stefcameron.com) may have some code that would help.-
One more question if you don't mind. Do you know if a row can expand to accomodate multi-line text fields in its cells? If it can be done, then what are the settings to achieve that?
I am using a table in flowable layout with repeating rows. I can probably size the rows to be two lines of text tall but if that height could be dynamic that would be much better!
Thanks again!
I would guess the simplest way to do that is from the tools:layout tab. As with Step 2 above: Make them expandable in height (see "Making a Field Expandable" here). You could set the default height. I don't see an explicit 'minimum height' option so I think that's the best option.
Be sure to post back if you figure out any new methods for automating this!
This figuratively saved my bacon. Thanks for this write up and your example.
I do have one question that I'm not sure if you answered at the end or not. I will need the end user to save what they have filled in as a static pdf and for them to keep the version that they can edit again.
We expect the end user to download our pdf; fill it in; submit a version that is static and can't change; make changes to the original on their computer and then submit that new version as a static pdf again.
Thanks much.
Okay I see you did answer my question in your article. I've been able to make my form. It's 12 pages without answers. So now I have another question. How would I add page numbers to the document.
When I use acrobat pro and this example:
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-do-i-add-page-numbers-at-the-bottom-of-my-pagesI get an error message stating I don't have the rights to add a footer.
Thanks in advance.
I am trying to make my PDF templete form expand in LiveCycle but I have changed everything to flowed except the sheet. when I change that to flowed it all moves to the left and my table and all the content are gone? I dont think I would be able to start this from scratch as it has alot of tables, radio button, check boxes, and drop downs. Is there anything I can do?
Is there a way to make an expanding text field push existing text sideways?
I've created an expandable text field that expands in height and pushes existing text down.
But I need it to push text sideways. I changed the setting in the text field to width and put a text box with text in it beside it but it just runs right over the text box instead of pushing it to the side.
You should do a video of this and put it on YouTube. There isn't a very good video out there that tells all this.
Oh My God, What a great sample it was. I was wondering about that same from the last 7 days but got nothing on the net and even i failed myself. But you made my day. Thanks alot.
Thank you! This article was awesome and helped immensely!

Yield: 1 cake, serving at least 20 (D)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons dark wildflower honey
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup regular cream of wheat
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 sticks (3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup apricot or sour cherry preserves (about)
1. To make the torte, put the butter, sugar, milk, and honey in a small pan. Warm it over a low heat, beating well, and then let cool.
2. Sift the flour and the baking soda onto a board. Make a well and break the egg into it. Mix thoroughly with your hands, then add the contents of the small pan. Make a dough, kneading a few minutes until the dough is smooth. Divide into 4 balls. Cover and let rest for 1 hour.
3. Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball and roll out into a 10- by 15-inch rectangle. Place on 4 greased cookie sheets and bake in a preheated 400-degree oven until the surface is golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. (Watch carefully: The dough burns quickly.) Remove the sheets from the oven and let stand overnight at room temperature. If you do not have 4 cookie sheets, use 2 and then repeat.
4. Before going to bed, prepare the filling. Place the cream of wheat and the milk in a small pan, stirring constantly until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla extract.
5. Let cool slightly. Add the butter, sugar, and egg. Beat with a mixer. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
6. The next day, place half of the filling on the first pre-baked sheet of dough. Put the second sheet of dough on top of the first and spread on the apricot or sour cherry preserves. Then put the third sheet on top, spread the remaining filling on it, and finally top with the last sheet. Let stand for at least 6 hours. Cut with a sharp knife into small squares, which is what Mr. Fenyvesi's mother likes, or into diamonds, which is what Jenny preferred.

I'm trying to grow a cherry tomato in this fashion. The plant is growing ok, but its tip keeps turning up :(
How do you make the growing tip to grow straight downward? Thanks for your advice. Xuan |
Follow-Up Postings:
The tomato wants to grow in the upright position as do all plants. it will always try to do this and you cant train it to grow down. Unless of course you put a giant grow light below it that was more powerful than the sun. Then it might grow down. mike |

Hello, Xuan! The truth is, you really can't make it grow downward ;-)

I stumbled across the Handpresso 'Customer Satisfaction Survey' the other day and while it's a bit old (it came out in August 2010) I think the information is still quite relevant. So I've made a little infographic of some of the results.
You can find the full survey results here.
Something I didn't cover in the infographic was the sales volume of the two versions. When the survey was made the ESE version was outselling the Domepod version 3 to 2. I'm not sure about other retailers, but we now find the Domepod the more popular version. Currently the Domepod is outselling the ESE version 7 to 1.

While attending a Pen Women's Writers' Conference in Honolulu a few weeks ago as a workshop leader, I had the pleasure of meeting women and a few men from all walks of writing life. I listened to women describe their passion for writing. I read some of the words that came from their hearts. And I discovered something about myself: I've forgotten the joy of writing just for me. I've been a hardcore career writer for so many years that I can scarcely recall the process of writing from the heart and the feelings that this activity evokes.
I must admit that, when I first heard these women talking about the little ditties they had written or expressing delight because the local newspaper had published their poems, I was less than impressed. But the more I listened, the more I came to understand. They are not writing to make a name for themselves or to pen a bestselling novel. They are writing to fill their souls, to renew their spirits. These women are inspired, but not by fame and fortune; not by a desire to sell their work. No, it would be like selling their soul.
These women are me thirty years ago.
After finishing my humble pie, I began tuning into each of the women I had the pleasure of meeting at the conference. I listened, I learned and I felt. I met women who write as part of their healing process. One dear lady—a grieving widow—began to emerge into the daylight only after picking up her pen and pad again. Other women were writing as therapy for their physical illnesses. Some of the women I met wrote in hopes of helping others in some basic or deep manner. And one woman writes solely to spread peace. I even met women who don't do much writing. They just love being around writers.
On my way home on the plane the night after the conference, I thought about the women I'd met at the conference. I recalled being aware of their demeanor when they spoke of their latest writing project or the inspirational poem they wrote five years ago. What was it that I detected? Oh yes, now I know—it was joy. I tried to relate to them. I had to dig deep in order to locate that young, eager writer who experienced such joy even when writing something as mundane as a grocery list. Yes, she is still there waiting to feel from the writing again. I've located her and I've begun to nurture her. I want to be that writer again.
Is there any reason why we cannot write professionally and joyfully at the same time? I hope to find out. I've devised a list of activities and ideas that I believe will help me to recapture my ability to write at a soul level—to write for spirit.
If you're a writer who is searching for his or her writer's spirit—who can no longer find that original in your writing—here are some steps that might help:
I would love to hear from writers who have recaptured their joy as a writer or who have some additional ideas designed to get to that place. email@example.com
