I was able to start two Meyer Lemon plants from seeds indoors and they started doing well. Recently (now several months old), they began turning yellow. Noting that this was either due to overwatering, or not enough nitrogen or iron, I now only water weekly, and feed it with Mircle Grow plant food which contains both iron and nitrogen. The leaves are now turning green again.
Suddenly, however, within the past 48 hours, I have noticed these white irregular spots on one of the newest leaves. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't understand how to put the image directly in my message so I posted teh image in the test image forum and I'm trying to link the image. [I hope this works:] |
Here is a link that might be useful: Spots on leaf that I cut off.
The spots shown in the picture are not all that uncommon. They generally occur when there is a sudden change in the soil moisture status combined with low atmospheric humidity. Unless you see an upsurge of these I do not think there is all that much to worry about. - Millet |
With these type of spots the symptoms usually always appear as chlorotic areas on the leaf blade between the midrib and leaf margins that later turn gray to light brown. Following is unrelated to above) On citrus seedlings you should always water in the morning so the sun's rays can dry the soil surface before night fall, to avoid problems with Rhizoctonia, Phytophthora and Pythium fungi. Take care. - Millet |
I agree with Millet. I have those spots similar to yours from time to time but I thought those were caused by some insects nibbled at the leaf and it flew afterwards. Unless there are many leaves that are like that, if I were you I won't worry about it. I always thought that there will be new leaves, new growth that will replace them. Sometimes I snip them for good looks and you know what? The plant is forced to grow new buds to replace them. |

Monto – Best Boy MELT004 (27/08/12) CD (with instant download) – £4 Digital – £3.15 Vinyl – Coming Soon Photography by Joshua Gordon (Click to enlarge) |
Recent Press
Voted 5th Best Irish EP of 2012 by Nialler9.com Words: Laurent Fintoni There's a lot to be said for youthful energy and confidence. 20 year old Monto, real name Ross O'Sullivan, hails from Wicklow but currently resides in Waterford where he puts much of his own youthful energy into making, and studying, music. As a result, and in a short space of time, he's become one of Ireland's brightest musical hopes, especially if those musical hopes are to do with new school instrumental hip hop and electronic music. And this isn't just PR hyperbole either (ok maybe a little). Making use of the internet to push out remixes and free tracks he's already received praise from national and international press (The Irish Times, FACT Magazine) as well as from his peers and has been known to turn a few heads and move some bodies at live shows too. It's not just beat nerds who like him either, as proven when his remix for Mark Ronson was chosen as the winner in a recent competition, landing him 5,000 Euros worth of music equipment – what more could a passionate music nerd want at 20 years of age? If the answer to the previous question was an official release, you were correct.Best Boy is Monto's debut for Melted Music, a four-track EP that makes full use of hip hop's bump and sampling psychedelia to create multi layered instrumental trips. You would be forgiven for thinking it was the latest blunted beats to come out of Los Angeles' sun-soaked suburbs, and not from the grey and rainy streets of a small Irish city. I guess that's globalisation for you. I blame the internet personally. Homage starts off with overbearing fuzz, ambient sounds and coughs, the sounds of a young man getting ready to do his thing no doubt. Then in come a deliciously laid back groove coupled with a bubbling bass and a recurring melody built out of what sounds like strings and a broken xylophone, with switches keeping the whole thing engaging. Best Boy is a promising first release, the sound of a young man finding his musical voice. Much like his label mate SertOne, Monto's main asset is his potential and with Best Boy he shows that he's got plenty. You should start paying attention now, before you find yourself late to the party. |

Tabs have proven to be a reliable and intuitive interface model for web pages that contain related content. But depending on how you set things up, tabs have one serious flaw: They frequently make it difficult or impossible to bookmark a specific tab. That is, if you have a page with five tabs on it, and I want to send someone to that page with specific tab showing, how do I do it?
We ran into this issue on a recent project. The client had two specific requirements for using a tabbed interface on some of their pages:
To be clear, if you use jQuery UI tabs, and someone figures out how to send around a tab-specific link, the page will load with the correct tab exposed. But it loads the page at the top of the tab content area instead of at the top of the tabs themselves. So someone who's never visited the site before would have to scroll up to realize that there are other tabs that might contain content they'd also be interested in.
The bookmarking issue is one refered to directly on the jQuery UI pages. The script that was adapted for the tabs widget used a history plugin that needs some rewriting, and the jQuery UI team has not had time to update those scripts.
Fortunately, the jQuery scrollTo plugin and its related localScroll plugin solved both of our problems quite nicely. Those plugins provide some very slick functionality for sliding users around on web pages, but we're going to use them in a much less flashy way.
As with any jQuery plugin, you can keep the scripts in separate files and load them all as needed, or you can gang them up in one file. It depends whether your set up benefits from a slight larger file and fewer HTTP requests (if you're using the plugins on all or most of your pages) or from having smaller, more discrete files.
Just make sure the plugins are loaded before or with your site's JavaScript file.
All of our calls happen within document.ready()
First we'll create the tabs using the normal jQuery UI technique. In this case, we've wrapped the tabs ul and related divs in a div with a class of "tab-set".
Next, we want to see if we need to load a specific tab. We'll check to see if the page we're on has a "tab-set" div, and check the URL to see if there's a hash on the end of it. If yes to both, then we use the scrollTo plugin to jump us down to the "tab-set" div — which keeps the tabs visible — while relying jQuery UI's default behavior to show the correct tab content.
if($(".tab-set") && document.location.hash){
Once a user is on the page, we use the localScroll plugin to update the URL in the address bar while keeping the page from reloading.
$(".tab-set ul").localScroll({
What that says is "Scroll to the div 'tab-set' instead of the target of the link itself, do it with no animation, and add the hash to the URL".
That's it! All requirements met.
Default jQuery UI Tabs
Be sure to click on the tabs and check your address window.
Then the same URL with a hash on it, which you would find if you understood right- or control-clicking, but the average web user might not:
Bookmarkable jQuery UI Tabs with scrollTo and localScroll
Again, be sure to click on the tabs and check your address window.
And then with the hash on it, which URL is available *either* with the right/control-click *or* by copying and pasting your address window.

Protests against military rule resulted in the killing of at least 28 protesters by security forces in Cairo and Suez. Riot police and the army used excessive force to disperse protesters, who later alleged that they were tortured or otherwise ill-treated in custody. Protests, sometimes violent, by opponents and supporters of the President took place in November and December. Unfair trials by Emergency Supreme State Security Courts continued and security forces continued to act above the law. Former President Hosni Mubarak and the former Minister of Interior were sentenced to life imprisonment for killings of protesters during the 2011 uprising; many other suspected perpetrators were acquitted. No members of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) were held to account for violations committed during their rule. President Mohamed Morsi established a committee to investigate violations committed between January 2011 and June 2012. He issued pardons for some civilians tried by military courts and a general amnesty for offences by protesters during demonstrations against military rule. Discrimination against religious minorities persisted. Journalists and activists were prosecuted for "insulting the President" and blasphemy. Women faced discrimination in law and practice as well as widespread sexual harassment. Thousands of families continued to live in "unsafe areas" in informal settlements (slums), while thousands more faced threats of forced eviction. Migrants were reportedly killed by security forces while attempting to cross into Israel or were exploited by traffickers in the Sinai Peninsula. At least 91 people were sentenced to death. It was not known whether there were any executions.
A newly elected parliament met for the first time on 23 January. In March, parliament appointed a 100-member Constituent Assembly to draft Egypt's new Constitution. The Constituent Assembly was dominated by Islamist parties and criticized for including only six women and six Coptic Christians. It was suspended by an administrative court on 10 April following a legal challenge. With the expiry of the 31-year state of emergency in May, the authorities tried to preserve some exceptional powers; on 13 June the Ministry of Justice gave military and intelligence officers powers to arrest, but an administrative court quickly overturned the move. Parliament approved a new Constituent Assembly in June, which faced fresh lawsuits and was increasingly boycotted by opposition political parties, civil society and the Coptic Christian Church. On 16 June, the SCAF dissolved parliament, following a Supreme Constitutional Court ruling that the elections had been unconstitutional. On 17 June, days before the result of the presidential elections, the SCAF widely expanded its own powers and limited those of the incoming administration. On 12 August, newly elected President Morsi announced that he had overturned the SCAF's new powers, and that SCAF leader Mohamed Tantawi was to retire. The announcement followed an attack by an armed group in the Sinai Peninsula which killed 16 soldiers. The authorities subsequently launched a security crackdown in the area.
On 22 November, President Morsi decreed that the courts could not challenge his decisions nor hear any lawsuit against the Constituent Assembly. President Morsi also issued a repressive new law to "protect the Revolution", replaced the Public Prosecutor, and urged new investigations and prosecutions in cases of deaths of protesters. The Constituent Assembly finalized the draft Constitution on 30 November.
The decree and draft Constitution triggered nationwide protests and a judges' strike, as well as incidents of violence between supporters and opponents of the President. On 5-6 December, at least 10 people were killed in clashes outside the Presidential Palace in Cairo. In response to the unrest, President Morsi partially lifted his decree on 8 December. The new Constitution was subsequently adopted in a national referendum in late December.
Top of pageNo legal or policy reforms were implemented to eradicate torture under either the SCAF or President Morsi's administration. The People's Assembly discussed harsher penalties for torture but did not introduce them before its dissolution. Torture and other ill-treatment continued and security forces acted with impunity. One NGO recorded 88 cases of torture or other ill-treatment by police during President Morsi's first 100 days in power. Protesters arrested by riot police or the military were subjected to severe beatings and electric shocks in custody, including in Tora Prison, south of Cairo, where detainees also suffered overcrowding, inadequate clothing and lack of medical care. Some male protesters said they were abducted and taken to undisclosed locations, where they were given electric shocks and sexually abused to make them give information on their involvement in protests.
The new Constitution allowed for military trials of civilians, which are inherently unfair. The People's Assembly amended the Military Justice Code in April 2012, stripping the President of his authority to refer civilians to military court. However, it did not amend articles giving military courts jurisdiction to try civilians. In July, President Morsi established a committee to review cases of civilians tried by military courts as well as others held by the Ministry of Interior, and "revolutionaries" imprisoned by the ordinary judiciary. In July and August, President Morsi pardoned some 700 people based on the committee's recommendations, and in October decreed a general amnesty for offences committed while "supporting the revolution" in 2011 and 2012. However, the decree failed to provide fair trials for some 1,100 civilians imprisoned by military courts for other criminal offences.
Although the state of emergency expired at the end of May, some cases continued to be tried by emergency courts, including terrorism-related offences and protest and communal violence cases.
Protests in early 2012 were mainly against military rule. Following President Morsi's election, demonstrations were held by his supporters and opponents. Security forces were largely absent, especially during large Tahrir Square protests, but in some instances they clashed with protesters. No reform of the police was initiated and the authorities employed tactics reminiscent of the Mubarak era, with security forces using excessive force against protesters. Riot police used excessive and unnecessary force, including firearms and US-made tear gas.
In a historic step towards combating impunity, in June, former President Mubarak and former Minister of Interior Habib El Adly were found responsible for the killing and injury of protesters during the 2011 uprising and sentenced to life imprisonment. However, six senior security officials were acquitted. The prosecution argued that the lack of evidence against them was due to a lack of co-operation from General Intelligence and the Ministry of Interior.
Most police officers put on trial in relation to killings of protesters during the 2011 uprising were acquitted. Courts generally ruled that police used justified lethal force, or that evidence was insufficient. Truth and justice remained elusive for hundreds of victims of the uprising and their families.
In October, all defendants were acquitted in the "Battle of the Camels" trial in relation to clashes between pro- and anti-Mubarak protesters in Tahrir Square in February 2011. Subsequently, members of the Public Prosecution suggested that the case would be reopened.
No army members were brought to justice in relation to killings or torture during the Mohamed Mahmoud Street protests and Cabinet Offices protests in November and December 2011. Civilian investigative judges instead referred protesters to stand trial for alleged violence. Those accused in the Mohamed Mahmoud Street protests were amnestied, but the Cabinet Offices trial continued. Only one riot police officer stood trial for abuses committed during the Mohamed Mahmoud Street protests. His trial continued at the end of the year.
In September, a military court sentenced two army soldiers to two years' imprisonment each, and a third soldier to three years' imprisonment, for "involuntary homicide" for driving their armoured vehicle into 14 Coptic protesters in October 2011 in Maspero, Cairo. Investigations by civilian judges into the killings of 13 others failed to identify perpetrators. No SCAF members faced justice for the killings of protesters during their 17-month rule.
In July, President Morsi set up a fact-finding committee of officials, civil society activists and victims' families to identify the perpetrators of the killing and injury of protesters during the 2011 uprising and the SCAF's rule.
No measures were taken to provide justice, truth or reparation to victims of serious human rights violations, including torture, carried out under President Mubarak's 30-year rule.
Top of pageThere were ongoing criminal investigations and charges for blasphemy and insulting public officials. New constitutional provisions restricted freedom of expression, prohibiting insults against individuals or religious prophets. Draft legislation restricted freedom of association and imposed repressive rules on registration and foreign funding for NGOs.
The new Constitution prohibited discrimination between Egyptian citizens, but did not explicitly prohibit discrimination against women, referring instead to their duties as homemakers. Women were marginalized in the new political institutions. They occupied only 12 seats out of 508 in the People's Assembly, before its dissolution. Only seven women were included in the second Constituent Assembly. Women were largely excluded from the Egyptian Cabinet appointed by President Morsi and none were appointed to the role of governor. Women also continued to face exclusion from serving in the judiciary. Discriminatory laws and practices relating to marriage, divorce, child custody and inheritance were not addressed.
Several women were reported to have been sexually harassed or assaulted during mass protests including in Tahrir Square. In June, a march in Cairo against sexual harassment was attacked by men who sexually harassed and assaulted the participants. In September, a man shot dead a woman in the street in Asyut, reportedly after she resisted his sexual harassment. After the Eid holiday in October the authorities announced they had received over 1,000 complaints of sexual harassment. No members of the security forces were held to account for sexual or gender-based violence against women detainees following anti-SCAF protests in 2011.
The new Constitution did not explicitly prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, potentially affecting minorities such as Nubians.
The Constitution guaranteed freedom of religion but limited it to religions officially recognized as "heavenly", potentially affecting Baha'is and Shi'a Muslims. The Constitution provided for separate personal status laws for Christians and Jews, as well as the right to regulate their religious affairs and leadership, but not for other religious minorities.
Egyptian law made it difficult for Coptic Christians to build or repair churches as it required hard-to-obtain official authorization. Some church-building works were obstructed by neighbouring Muslims, sometimes causing communal violence. In such cases, security forces generally failed to protect Copts from attacks.
The Constitution upheld the right to adequate housing, but did not explicitly prohibit forced evictions. Guarantees against forced eviction remained absent in Egypt's laws and policies.
The government's Informal Settlements Development Facility (ISDF) estimated that some 11,500 homes, mainly in Cairo, were located in "unsafe areas" and posed an imminent threat to life, requiring immediate clearance. The ISDF also marked a further 120,000 homes in "unsafe areas" for clearance before 2017. The ISDF reportedly considered the options of upgrading slums and providing alternative housing near existing dwellings.
Housing Ministry officials said the Cairo 2050 plan had been reviewed and some projects which would have involved mass evictions had been dropped. A new urban Egypt 2052 master plan was under development, but communities in informal settlements were not consulted.
Egyptian security forces continued to shoot foreign migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers who sought to cross Egypt's Sinai border into Israel, killing at least eight people. Human traffickers reportedly extorted and abused refugees, asylum-seekers and migrants crossing the Sinai Peninsula into Israel.
Top of pageAt least 91 people were sentenced to death, including after unfair trials by emergency courts. It was not known whether there were any executions.

My neighbor has asked me to shorten 3 pairs of jeans for her. I've hemmed jeans in the past for myself but was never really satisfied with the outcome. A couple questions:
1) How do you sew over the "hump" (side seam) without having one big stitch or a bunch of tiny stitches? I remember reading something about using a credit card, but I'm not sure how. Behind the needle or in front of the needle? 2) I've used regular polyester covered thread on my own, but I'm doing someone elses and I think I need a different kind of thread. What was used on these jeans is a heavy thread. What kind of thread is this? Is it topstitching thread?? I have size 18 needles, and I believe they are the correct size for jeans. Thanks. |

I have something that came with my machine called a "Hump jumper).It goes behind the presser foot,so that the back end of the presserfoot rest on it.You have to hold it in place as you sew over the hump.As for thread,coats&clark makes a denim(orange) thread like that which most top stitching is done with,and that's what i use.If you don't have that you can use 2 spools of thread on top to get that nice stitch,BUT only one of those top threads passes through the last hook b4 the needle,the 2nd one stays outside of it.Clear as mud right?? Kathi |
The jeans are solid black and all the top-stitching/hemming is done using black thread. So orange thread is out. Coats & Clark also makes a button and craft thread which is pretty strong and it comes in black. Would that work? I used to work in a fabric store back in the '90's. I remember hearing about something called the hump jumper (probably on a sewing website), but I don't know if the fabric store carried it. I had to google it and click on images to see what it looked like. If they did carry it, I never did buy one. |
The hump jumper came as an accessory with a brand name machine. You could purchase them separately and it does a great job on those big thick seams. Rumor has it they are no longer made but there is a jean ama jig that does the same job. Goggle jean ama jig and have a look at that. I've seen them in fabric stores. |
- Posted by soonergrandmom (My Page) on Wed, May 20, 09 at 21:33
The accessory being discussed has been sold by several names, but you can do the same thing with an index card. The back of your foot is hinged and it needs to stay level to get good stitches. In other words, the foot should not be pointing down or pointing up while you sew. Fold an index card, then fold again, keep folding until it is about the thickness of the seam that you have to cross. You will have to put the card in front of the foot sometimes and in back of the foot sometimes, but you need to keep it there while you are sewing on this elevated area. You will have to go very slowly across this seam. You don't sew the card, it's purpose is just to keep the foot level. As for type of thread, I would use regular polyester thread if I were you since you are not trying to match a different top stitching color. Anything heavier than machine topstitching thread may not work in your machine. After you hem them you can see if it looks like you need topstitching. If you decide that you do, then go over it with topstitching thread and lengthen you stitch length. You will need a jean needle or a large needle. Good luck. Jeans are hard to hem. |
soonergrandmom, don't I know they are hard to hem! They are 100% cotton but have some stretch to them. How can I keep from stretching them when working with them? When I got finished one leg, it looked a little like bellbottoms!!I should have said "sorry, but I don't do jeans". Thanks |
- Posted by soonergrandmom (My Page) on Thu, May 21, 09 at 23:10
Hmmm, I've never had a problem with them stretching although I wear the cotton stretch type myself. I have to buy a tall then remove an inch. You might try using a stay stitch just where your fold is going to be and see if that helps. If she ever needs a zipper replaced in a pair, RUN!! |
- Posted by soonergrandmom (My Page) on Thu, May 21, 09 at 23:19
I googled "hem jeans" and found this. So you can see.....others don't like to do it either. I wouldn't want to do this to someone's elses jeans, but it would sure be quicker. LOL |
Here is a link that might be useful: Alternate Method
ok, I went and looked at the inside tag. They are 99% cotton and 1% lycra, so I was wrong about them being 100% cotton. I'll try the stay stitching around the fold. I'm not stretching the fabric as I sew, or at least I don't think I am. I have to guide it through, but I try and do that without pulling it. Hard to believe 1% lycra can stretch! Zippers, No Way!! I've put a couple of them in jeans for myself, but now, I toss the jeans if they need a new one. Zippers have always been my least favorite thing when it comes to sewing. I looked at the alternate method link. Looks like a blind stitch that you do on your machine except you sew straight stitches instead of the zigzag stitches. Is that what you were seeing? Don't think I would want that on my jeans. |
budster, I remember that name (jean ama jig)! That is probably what we carried at the fabric store years ago. |
I once did alterations for a dry cleaner and replacing pants zippers was the most dreaded. On blue jeans zippers it took more time removing the zipper and all the top stitching than it did to replace the zipper itself. |

THE BEST WAY, get a brick... a hammer.. roll the hem and before sewing Pound that seam (from the inside) and flatten it down. Works wonderful... it's how tailoring shops do it...even with industrial machines ;o) |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Mon, Jul 15, 13 at 9:39
You can get the "Jean ama jig" (now by Dritz) at Joann's Hammering it flat? I'll have to try that. |
- Posted by onefineseamstres (My Page) on Sun, Jul 21, 13 at 19:06
Liddybuff... learn to use a single edge razor blade and you will learn to get that zipper out in just about 1 minute... You just need someone to show you how... no matter how long you sew...you can always learn a new trick... if you use a hammer to smack the side seams down when you roll it... it also goes faster, and the needle just sews right thru... |
- Posted by kateskouros (My Page) on Tue, Jul 23, 13 at 22:30
i'm a beginner sewer and i just hemmed my daughter's jeans last night using the "alternate" method, above. they are perfect. i like the factory hem much better than a new hem. and you don't have to keep the inside "cuff". you can trim it down and just do an overlock edge, but since my dd is very young, i'm leaving it in since i know she's getting taller. |
Thanks for the tip about the razor blade Onefineseamstres. I always used a seam ripper for the job. Next time I may try your method. |
What kind of thread would duplicate the stitching in hem of jeans that have bold white stitches ? I've used the hammer trick at the hem seams for a long time.Another trick is to rub soap on before going over that area. Rose |

Also try, putting your needles into a bar of soap first. This will act as a lubricant. I do that with my hand stitching needles too when it's a tough fabric. I learned when in Indonesia, where many jean factories are, to use the hammer. I have a thick wooden cutting board for crafts etc and I place the folded jean hem on it and hammer away. Worked for me for over 20 years. As for fabric stretching, you need to adjust your machine's tension. Try on a scrap first (the part that you cut off). After you have it set to go, don't forget to write down the setting number so as you'll have it handy for next time. |

Virginia Ministry Uses Networks to Get People Back to Work
Earlier this month, I joined some colleagues at the Department of Labor's Center for Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships on a visit to the Career Network Ministry (CNM) at McLean Bible Church in Northern Virginia. The visit was made in conjunction with the Center's efforts to identify job clubs across the country and connect them to one another and to the workforce investment system. CNM is one of the most successful and celebrated job clubs in the country, so there was much anticipation for our visit.
With an active roster of 1,300 members and an average of 75 to 100 participants per meeting, running the group's Tuesday evening sessions is no easy feat. However, thanks to a corps of more than 150 dedicated volunteers, many of whom found their own jobs through CNM, the ministry has grown over the past three years to provide a variety of employment and support services. During the first part of the weekly meetings, job seekers engage in a range of small-group and one-on-one activities, including resume critique and interview training, consultations with human resources executives and other employer representatives, and prayer groups that offer faith and moral support. New members are given the CNM Handbook, a valuable resource that addresses topics such as marketing plans, traditional and non-traditional job search and networking techniques, and managing depression and disappointment while unemployed.
I was able to observe many of these various sessions, all of which are available and free to people from the broader community, not just congregation members. Following the smaller, break-out sessions, we participated in a gathering of the full group in attendance that evening, about 125 members. We heard "victory lap" speeches from members who had recently landed new jobs. Additionally, a guest speaker, social media guru Rob Mendez, shared tips and strategies for getting the most out of LinkedIn and other tools. Rob revealed some tricks of the trade for landing at the top of a search for job candidates on LinkedIn. Finally, DOL Center's Deputy Director Ben Seigel shared remarkswith the group on the Center's new project and praised CNM's work. "This ministry is a testament to the power of community and volunteers to come together and help out your neighbors, and achieve real results in getting people back to work," said Ben.
During my visit, I was very impressed with the positive, go-getter attitude that the group exuded, as well as the variety of training it offered. The tremendous amount of support provided by CNM's volunteers has also proved to be invaluable to its job seeking members. For that reason, I was not surprised to learn that despite the fact that CNM advertises only through word of mouth, the group continues to gain about 25 new members each week, evidence of its success and impact on its members.

Showing—And Acting On—The Dollars Left in Abandoned Carts
When Woodcraft Supply LLC sends e-mails to online shoppers who left without buying what they had put in their shopping carts, the retailer already knows a lot about the dollar value of the items they abandoned. It can see the amount of revenue lost through abandoned carts over a particular period, for example, and it can instantly know how much of that lost revenue it can try to recover through follow-up e-mails to customers for whom the retailer has e-mail addresses.
In one recent week, for instance, it realized that it could try to recover 56% of the orders

I need to install GeoIP on a cPanel server (running CentOS 5.8). I have tried installing it through EasyApache (after installing geoip-devel and the relevant EasyApache addon), and it seems to have installed successfully. However, it won't load into Apache.
Apparently the line:

For many Christians parents they are dealing with the education and upbringing of their children as does the world, not as God directs. Rather than desiring their children be born again in Christ, learn to follow and obey the Lord, living their lives for His glory and honour, they want the same things the lost world wants for their children, the pursuit of worldly gain.
Listen to most Christian parents and they sound just like unsaved parents. They want their children to be accepted by the worldly, they don't want their children to miss out on all the worldly things going on in the public schools, they are willing to sacrifice almost anything so their children can play sports in school, their goal for their children is to get them into a worldly college where they can learn how to get a worldly job/career which pays lots of money so they can lay up lots of treasures here on earth.
I've know of a couple such cases and have read of many more where a Christian parents child will get saved and then at some point their child hears the Lord's calling for them and when they share it with their parents their parents discourage them. The parents put much pressure on them to ignore God, follow the worldly path of "success" and then sometime later after they get their worldly college degree and have their successful worldly career, maybe then they can talk about doing what God wants.
If it's important for adult Christians to maintain separation from the wicked influences of the world, how much more important to separate children from such? When the military gets new recruits they don't just drop them behind enemy lines and tell them to do their best. Recruits go through basic training first, and then most go through much more training afterwards. Does it really make sense to drop unprepared children into the enemy camp and then allow that enemy to teach, instruct, mold and conform them?
Visiting public schools (in America) is like taking a tour of a sin museum. Evolution is all over the place, ungodly philosophies are taught as truth, God and Christianity are either totally ignored or belittled, false religions are built up, teen sex is spoken of as something that "everyone does" so they hand out condoms, offer "helpful" information on abortions, immodesty abounds throughout the school, even among the teachers and staff, students kissing and sometimes groping, sinful music blaring all about promoting the wonders and joys of drunkenness, drugs, sinful sex, foul language of the worst sort is heard all about, talk of the latest sinful TV shows and movies is all about, with some being shown in classes, Bible reading isn't permitted but studies on Islam and paganism are to be found, students are taught the biblical account of creation is a myth, most or all of the Bible is myth, that death is simply the end of life, there is no absolute truth, God is an invention of man to manipulate people or provide a crutch for the weak, materialism is promoted as a noble goal, and on and on.
Then if one looks at the textbooks they are filled with ungodly "political correctness", distortions and outright lies.
So, while Christian parents pursue the "good life" here on earth, unwilling to make sacrifices in order to give themselves fully to God and raise their children in accord with the Word, they sacrifice their children to the world so they can gain the world.
Our own selfishness and failure to raise our children for the Lord is why so many children from Christian families are lost to the world.

The Many Struggles of Spider-Man, or "How is This Guy Still Sane?"
Real deaths. Faked deaths. Assumed deaths. Loved ones in constant danger. Symbiotes. Clones. And various manipulations by villains and demigods. When fans consider what Marvel has put Spider-Man through over the last few decades, it's a wonder he hasn't checked into the Happy Hotel for good! Here's a look at much of what the wall-crawler has had to endure since his inception.

I have heard that when laying hardwood or laminate wood flooring, you should lay it in accordance as to how the sun shines in your windows.
Is this true and if so, why? I know it has something to do with the seams...but not sure how the sun has anything to do with this?? I thought it would depend on the shape of the room..i.e. long narrow room would call for the planks to go lengthwise. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I just laid 1200 sq ft of laminate and 300 sq ft of marmoleum click. I laid the laminate in the correct direction and I laid the marmoluem (12X36 planks) opposite of how light enters my room because it was just a lot easier. The reason is seeing the seams and it is quite true. I can see most of my seams on the marmoleum that run in the opposite direction of the light and I can't see the seams that run in the same direction as the light. I think this is only important in laminate if you use a type of laminate that is wider and is meant to represent 2 or 3 wood planks wide. Then you would see the seams every 3rd plank or so and it wouldn't be a good visual effect. I used single plank laminate so each board looks like an indivdual wood board so it doesn't matter if you see the seams, you are supposed to. This only applies to floating floors. If you are nailing down hardwood, it generally runs in the opposite direction of your floor joists for floor stability. |
- Posted by PTLHardwoods (My Page) on Sat, Oct 6, 12 at 0:11
For laminate it goes with the window just for aesthetics. Hardwood flooring should run perpendicular to the floor joists or on a diagonal for stability. I would recommend that you lay out a few rows to get a feel for it and go what direction seems right to you. Usually this happens to be perpendicular to the joists. |

ESA's Cryosat Mission Sees Antarctic Ice Losses Double
samzenpus posted about 8 months ago | from the it's-getting-hot-in-here dept.
162An anonymous reader writes in with news that seems to confirm the alarming reports last week about Antarctic ice melting. "The new assessment comes from Europe's Cryosat spacecraft, which has a radar instrument specifically designed to measure the shape of the ice sheet. The melt loss from the White Continent is sufficient to push up global sea levels by around 0.43mm per year. Scientists report the data in the journal Geophysical Research Letters (abstract). The new study incorporates three years of measurements from 2010 to 2013, and updates a synthesis of observations made by other satellites over the period 2005 to 2010. Cryosat has been using its altimeter to trace changes in the height of the ice sheet — as it gains mass through snowfall, and loses mass through melting."

How Do I Talk To 4th Graders About IT?
Visualize (531 comments)
When it comes to kids, visualization is very important.
Try to connect to their day to day life. What do kids use computers for? Get them involved by asking what they use on a computer that is connected to the internet and ask them how they think it works.
You could be pleasantly surprised by how much imagination they have. Intrigue them. The history of the internet might prove to be more interesting than how sendmail works or how to configure a kernel.
Explain them about the problems the internet is facing because we run out of IP addresses (you can use China as an example).
Talk to them about they stuff that matters to them. At one point or another, everyone gets introduced to an IP address.
How does the internet translate URLs to IP addresses when they visit their favorite website.
Oh, and bring Tux along. Kids like penguins better than butterflies in unnatural colours.
Don't ask them why VI is better than Emacs though. They might start to get physical as of a lack of arguments to defend Emacs.

Retirement News for Employers - Summer 2011 - We're Glad You Asked!
Should our plan administrator withhold 20% for federal income tax from all retirement plan distributions?
No. The plan administrator should only withhold 20% for federal income tax from eligible rollover distributions. A plan administrator doesn't have to apply withholding if expected distributions to an individual are less than $200 for the year. The 20% withholding generally only applies to any previously untaxed amount of the eligible rollover distribution (not to any already taxed amount - cost). However, no withholding is required if the plan directly rolls over (in a trustee-to-trustee transfer) the amount to another qualified retirement plan or IRA.
Distributions that are not eligible rollover distributions are subject to different withholding rates depending on whether they are periodic or nonperiodic payments.
- Periodic payments are made at regular intervals for more than 1 year (for example, an annuity).
- Generally, the plan administrator must withhold at the rate for a married individual with 3 withholding exemptions. However, the plan administrator must notify the recipient of his or her right to:
- elect no withholding or elect to have a different amount withheld, by filing Form W-4P, Withholding Certificate for Pension or Annuity Payments, with the plan administrator; and
- revoke the election at any time.
- The plan administrator must withhold 10% from any required minimum distributions and 20% from any excess amount distributed that is an eligible rollover distribution.
- Generally, the plan administrator must withhold at the rate for a married individual with 3 withholding exemptions. However, the plan administrator must notify the recipient of his or her right to:
- Nonperiodic payments are distributions that usually aren't made at regular intervals and are not eligible rollover distributions, for example:
- distributions of excess annual additions;
- distributions of excess contributions and excess aggregate contributions from most plans if made within 2 ½ months after the end of the plan year;
- hardship distributions; and
- loans treated as distributions.
The plan administrator must withhold 10% from nonperiodic payments. However, the recipient may elect no withholding or have a different amount withheld by filing a Form W-4P with the plan administrator.
Special Situations
- Distributions made because of recognized disasters.
- Special withholding rules apply to certain noncash distributions, including:
- employer securities; and
- a participant's accrued benefit offset because of a defaulted loan. (see Treas. Reg. §31-3405(c)-1).
- Distributions delivered outside the U.S. or U.S. possessions.
- Distributions from designated Roth accounts in 401(k), 403(b) or 457(b) plans:
- Qualified distribution - no withholding because the distribution is not taxable.
- Nonqualified distribution - withholding required only from any distributed earnings that the recipient must include in gross income.
A plan administrator may be subject to penalties for failing to:
- properly withhold, deposit or report taxes; and
- electronically deposit withheld taxes. (see for example, Code §§ 6656 and 6672, 6721, 6722 and Treas. Reg. §31.6302-1(h))

Vehicle to vehicle technology may work by using wireless adapters that are capable of communicating to each other via some sort of signals such as radio waves or other waves that do not cause interference with other wireless communication. Vehicle to vehicle communication works best in a small isolated area involving several dozen cars. Each car's computer console will be aware of the position and movements of the surrounding vehicles. The computer console will have software that can alert drivers about other nearby cars that are approaching, making turns or getting too close. Tailgating alerts will certainly be very important tools in vehicle to vehicle communication.
Maybe one day vehicle to vehicle communication will even reduce auto insurance rates for vehicles that are equipped with such technology.
]]>For instance, many schools have really boosted up the technology when it comes to school safety and security. For instance, more schools have seen the addition of security cameras, metal detectors and more lately than they have in a long time. Although these technological changes and additions can be costly, you truly can't put a price on school safety and the safety of children and educators.
Also, many schools have been incorporating a lot of technology as a means of helping children learn, grow and develop in today's fast-paced technological world. Although computers have been in use in schools all over the country for years now, more and more computers are being added to schools, and the computers and other electronics that have been added are a lot more high-tech than the older computers that were once used in school settings in our nation.
]]>There are several ways your business could save on energy costs using the technologies that are available. For instance, motion-sensing controllers in restrooms can reduce wasted energy by automatically shutting off the lights when they're not in use. Power-over-Ethernet networking devices gain their power from the network switch itself reducing the need of power usage at those locations. Websites, such as http://www.texasenergycompanies.net/commercial-energy-products.html, can open possibilities for comparing rates on energy usage as well.
Developing a strategy for wasted energy could be a simple process of using a voltage meter plugged directly into power sockets. These meters will record the kilowatt hours used by anything plugged into them. It doesn't take a handyman or an IT professional to install one of these units as they simply plug into the power socket. By using the sockets these units provide, you can monitor just how much power is being consumed by that particular area. These devices are also very useful to find areas within the home that could be addressed as well, and they are inexpensive at many hardware stores.
It's common knowledge to turn off the lights when you leave a room to help conserve energy. However, the busy lives we lead tend to cloud our judgment and little things tend to slip our minds now and then. Timers can be installed on sockets and lighting equipment that will shut off the power once a pre-programmed time has lapsed. Some of these timers are based on actual clock systems while others are controlled by timed usage.
There are many ways that simple human intervention can save the energy costs of a business environment. Hibernation mode in a monitor will power it down when not in use. However, the monitor is still using power. It may not seem like a lot of usage when you're dealing with one or two monitors sitting idle overnight. If your business incorporates tens if not hundreds of computers throughout the location, the usage of these "sleeping" monitors could be more than you realize. Multiply that by 365 days and your annual usage from these hibernating devices is probably costing your business quite a bit.
]]>1. Wireless Energy
One limitation on electronic devices everywhere is that they have to be physically connected to a power source. However, wireless forms of electricity are being developed. This could mean the end of the wall outlet and battery as we know it.
2. Carbon Dioxide as a Resource We usually think of carbon dioxide as a pollutant and waste product. Certain methods are being developed that can alter the carbon molecules in carbon dioxide to transform them into a form that could be used as a fuel source.
3. Personalized Pharmaceuticals
Breakthroughs in the study of pharmaceuticals and the human genome are leading to a new field of medicine. This will be drugs that are physically tailored to each specific patient based on his or her own genetic makeup and medical history.
4. Biological Engineering
With better understanding of genes and biological processes, the ability to biologically engineer is greater than ever. With lessons learned from the chemical processes of plants and animals, the next revolution in manufacturing is likely to be biological in nature instead of mechanical.
]]>A major technological development for American households was the microwave along with packaged and freeze-dried food which is readily available to cook and eat without being perishable for some time. With the development of the microwave, people began to save time when cooking dinner, leaving room for additional activities or work, depending on the household.
The advancement of electric stoves and even the creation of all new kitchen appliances has also contributed to the culture of cooking in America today. With toasters, toaster ovens, microwave ovens, blenders, and even food graters and choppers (along with food processors), cooking and preparing any type of meal has become a possibility for even the most amateur of home cooks, regardless of their level of experience. Using tools and technological electronics is a way to be more efficient while also cooking the food you have in mind with ease.
]]>Potential Benefits of Wireless Energy
The simplification of energy transfer and removal of wired "clutter" would be the first immediate benefit of wireless energy transfer, or WET, implementation. Mutual induction, a form of WET, would allow for docking stations where devices could be powered without the need for plugs and wires.
Simplicity would further be enhanced by evanescent wave coupling use, which allows electricity to bridge longer distances with no health risk. This form of WET would eliminate the need for electricians when adding electrical features to a building, for instance.
Two Simple, yet Meaningful Downfalls of WET
The need to standardize all WET use and provide backwards-compatibility for current electrical implementations are WET's biggest drawbacks. Adding mutual induction or evanescent wave coupling features to current devices would be a costly endeavor.
The final drawback is the large possibility of simple energy theft. This situation is akin to wireless internet theft, where the added convenience makes thievery that much simpler.
]]>The idea of budgeting is something that is needed in homes today. Americans have become the worst managers in the world when it comes downs to money. It's the wealthiest nation, but there are still so many people that fail to budget.
Much of the budgeting that people do is unrealistic. People allocate money on paper, but they seldom live like this. It's better for people to have a clearer picture of what they are spending. This is why apps like Lemon are so great. It will actually scan a receipt and group this into a certain category. This allows people to see what they actually spend. It's not about what they think anymore.
Mint is another free apps that allows people to put in all their credit card information. This apps tracks spending on every credit card that is in the system. This saves people so much time. It's another app that brings spending habits to the light.
]]>Some of the pet tracking devices are designed to send their signals to a home base station. This is the receiver which is kept inside the home and which will alert the owner if the pet wanders outside of the preset distance. This type of tracking system is often referred to as a virtual fence because the owner can set the perimeters. The GPS systems usually come with a device similar to a cell phone GPS signal tracker, which the owner can use to track the pet from anywhere on the planet. The GPS pet tracking system uses satellite signal transmission.

Spotlight on Galveston After 2008's Hurricane Ike
(6:10 p.m. EDT) -- If the thought of a heaping ice cream cone or a pound of candy makes you drool, it's a good thing that La King's Confectionery plans to reopen this summer in
In September 2008, Hurricane Ike slammed into the island, a Texas cruise hub, bringing 100-mile-per-hour winds and a storm surge up to 20 feet high. More than 75 percent of the island was damaged, and the cruise port was closed due to flooding in the cruise terminal and damage to the channel itself.
Carnival Cruise Lines
' Galveston-based ships,
Carnival Conquest
Carnival Ecstasy
, had to switch to Houston's brand-new, never-before-used Bayport Cruise Terminal.
Ships returned to Galveston in November 2008 for the first time since the devastation of Hurricane Ike. Like the well-known sweet shop, several local businesses still have some work to do -- but as we enter this year's hurricane season, the port and the town are back in a big way.
The Port
The Port of Galveston reopened on November 1, 2008 to cruise traffic and was one of the first tourist facilities up-and-running on the island. Carnival Conquest continues its year-round, seven-night Western Caribbean cruises and Carnival Ecstasy its year-round, four- and five-night Western Caribbean cruises.
Royal Caribbean
Voyager of the Seas
offered seven-night Western Caribbean cruises through April of this year and will return in December. (The ship alternates between the Caribbean and Europe.) All told, 149 cruises are expected to depart from Galveston in 2009.
The Port has two cruise terminals, and Mike Mierzwa, deputy port director, tells us that the first floors of each of the terminal buildings were completely renovated after Hurricane Ike. The result is improved passenger flow, especially during debarkation. Additional customs inspection booths have been added and the port has streamlined procedures for getting passengers through customs. Debarkation now typically finishes by 10 or 10:30 a.m., well before arriving passengers show up to board the ships for the next sailing.
The City
A spokeswoman for Galveston's Convention & Visitors Bureau tells us that the island is 90 percent back to normal. For those pre- or post-cruise stays, all major hotels are open, with the exception of three small properties: the Ramada Inn, the Flagship Hotel and the Sandpiper Motel. A new Holiday Inn Express opened in May, and a Country Inn and Suites is scheduled to open later this year.
The downtown area was hit the hardest by the storm and is only 75 percent restored. Visitors may notice that some shops are still closed, but new businesses and restaurants, such as the Gumbo Bar and fine-dining establishment 901 Postoffice, have been added. Downtown and tourist areas have been completely cleared of debris from the storm, though some residential areas still show signs of recovery construction. Due to a renourishment project, Galveston's beaches are looking better than ever.

Student Spotlight: Tursha O'Brien
My name is Tursha. I have been married for 17 years to the best guy in the world - my best friend and soul mate. I know you are thinking "gag me, please," right? Well, it is true. I have three children and a great career working with the same company for more than 15 years. I truly believe that there is a reason and purpose for everything that happens in your life, whether it is good or bad. Of course, we hope for all the good experiences, but sometimes the experience you thought wasn't so good, turns out to be the best that ever happened. There are many such events that happen over the years in your life. However; I will have to say this one surely topped the list for me.
I would like you to travel back in time 19 years ago with me to January 13, 1992, at around 9:30 p.m. I am in labor and have just gone up to my hospital room. I am extremely nervous yet elated at the same time. At this point, I still had no idea of the reality of this situation and how it would turn my world upside down and inside out. Trek forward to almost thirteen excruciatingly painful hours later when the beginning of my life really began.
My daughter, Brantley Morgan, a beautiful 8 lb. 4 oz. bundle of joy, was born. She had a head full of shiny, jet-black hair and definitely a fully developed healthy set of lungs. I was exhilarated and pretty amazed that this little person was living inside of me for nine months. I remember vividly the moment in the hospital when I realized that this was not about me anymore. I would no longer be able to do what I wanted to do or not do anything at all if I didn't feel like it. This moment of realization came when I was fast asleep, exhausted from my awe-inspiring performance. Several minutes later, I got up and fumbled my way around to change her diaper and learn how to feed her. To be completely honest though, at this point, I was far from being won over by this new person who literally pushed her way into my life.
A month or so later, I lay in turmoil in my bed. It is 4 a.m. and Brantley has been asleep for five hours. She has never slept this long. Is she sick? Is she breathing? Of course I had to check on her and of course, she was fine. I knew then that I actually wanted to be a mother. I had to protect my little cub. I would give my life for hers without hesitation. I felt deep inside what I was forever longing for: unconditional love.
As Brantley grew, I was also growing. I was starting to feel good about me and to love the person I was. She showed me that I was pretty enough and smart enough. She didn't care how much money I made or if I had a prestigious job. I was no longer afraid to ask questions or say hello to a total stranger at the check-out line in the grocery store. I stopped trying to be what I thought everybody else wanted me to be. Through this unconditional love that she so unselfishly gave, I finally developed my self-esteem that I never had. Once I achieved this, others began to take notice and doors that were once sealed shut started opening. I aspired to do better for her and for myself. I enrolled in a technical school and soon after completing, was hired as an IT tech with the company I am still working with. Along the way I met my husband. I truly believe this would never have happened had it not been for Brantley.
So, here I am 19 years later continuing my journey. Along for the ride, I have my husband and two more little cubs to protect, teach, and try to be a good role-model for. Every day I learn something new from them. I wake up every morning wondering what this new day will have in store and eager to get it started. I have started a new chapter in my life. I am back in school and looking forward to expanding my knowledge. Life is full of struggles, but with an avalanche of great times and events thrown in. I do know that all I need I already have. This is the love and support of my family. So I say to you; life "Whatever your next challenge or test may be, bring it on because I will pass it with straight A's.

Cute. And a very useful design. Yes, you could sand it lightly and use gel stain to darken it. Maple, because it is dense, is hard to stain with a penetrating stain, but the gel stain is more paint-like. |
