International Cancer Control
More than twice as many people die from cancer than from AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. The World Health Organization (WHO) projects that without immediate action, the global number of deaths from cancer will increase by nearly 80% by 2030, with most occurring in low- and middle-income countries.
Research suggests that one-third of cancer deaths can be prevented. Although proven ways to prevent cancer exist, these services and technologies are not widely available in low- and middle-income countries.
According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), in 2012, the most commonly diagnosed cancers worldwide were—
- Lung cancer (13% of all cancers diagnosed, 1.8 million people).
- Breast cancer (12% of all cancers diagnosed, 1.7 million people).
- Colorectal cancer (10% of all cancers diagnosed, 1.4 million people).
and the most common causes of cancer death worldwide in 2012 were—
- Lung cancer (19% of all cancer deaths, 1.6 million people).
- Liver cancer (9% of all cancer deaths, 800,000 people).
- Stomach cancer (9% of all cancer deaths, 700,000 people).
What CDC Is Doing
While most of CDC's cancer programs focus on the United States, CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control (DCPC) is also working on projects to prevent and control cancer around the world. Global efforts help guide CDC's domestic programs by generating lessons learned from innovative strategies and new technologies being used to prevent cancer in other countries.
Many of CDC's global efforts focus on strengthening cervical cancer screening programs to have the biggest effect on reducing the global cancer burden. These programs are needed most in less developed regions, where almost nine out of 10 cervical cancer deaths occur.
Cervical cancer can be prevented with vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) and regular screening tests and follow-up. Cervical cancer is on the decline in the United States, but the burden in many countries remains high, mostly due to a lack of screening and treatment services.
For example, in Sub-Saharan Africa, about 35 cervical cancer cases are diagnosed for every 100,000 women, compared with only about 7 new cases for every 100,000 women in North America. About 23 women per 100,000 die from cervical cancer in Sub-Saharan Africa, compared to about 3 per 100,000 in North America.
DCPC also works with agencies like WHO, the American Cancer Society, and IARC to develop cancer registries, develop a global cancer training course for public health professionals, and improve quality assurance, monitoring, and evaluation.
Featured Programs
- Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon: This global initiative builds on health care programs in Sub-Saharan Africa to reduce deaths from breast and cervical cancer. CDC helps monitor and evaluate this initiative, and works to promote sustainability of the activities in Zambia, Botswana, and Tanzania. As part of this initiative, CDC recently received a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to develop global standards and tools for monitoring and evaluating cervical cancer programs in low- and middle-income countries.
- Global Initiative for Cancer Registry Development in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (GICR): CDC, IARC, the Union for International Cancer Control, and other organizations created GICR to provide training, support, and infrastructure to regional networks for cancer registries. This work will help countries produce reliable information on the burden of cancer so they can develop and implement effective cancer control policies.
- Latin American and Caribbean Cervical Cancer Initiative: CDC is working with the Pan-American Health Organization, the American Cancer Society, the Network for Latin American National Cancer Institutes (RINC), and the National Cancer Institute to increase access to high-quality cervical cancer screening and treatment in the region. Key strategies include working with countries to develop evidence-based cancer screening programs, and training health care providers to screen for cervical cancer using low-cost technologies. Activities focus on helping countries implement the new WHO cervical cancer screening guidelines and on developing monitoring and evaluation tools for program managers.
- Pacific Islands Screening Project: CDC is exploring different ways to screen for cervical cancer in the United States Affiliated Pacific Islands, since many areas lack screening services and have limited resources to process Pap tests. Alternative methods may allow women to be screened as recommended.

I don't know how it started, but my niece seems to have some insane obsession with, guess who, Sonic the Hedgehog. Oh, and it doesn't stop there. She's always talking about some dude with a gun called Shadow, some shitty dude named Silver, and whatever that pink one is.
As you might imagine, my niece loves to play games, more of a collector really as she never really goes beyond a level she might deem difficult or complex then drops it for another. I'm not surprised that she lucked into finding a game that featured Sonic, but her constant praise of the blue guy is seriously annoying.
"Sonic is the fastest in the whole world."
Fastest what? Prickly piece of shit? Yo, fuck that shit. I seriously don't want to hear that. Or hear her say that "Sonic is better than Mario." There are so many things I think are so wrong about that statement, especially now with how things are going for either franchise. I'll admit that, yes, I grew up alongside a NES and SNES, albeit very shortly, and the only I played a pre-Sega Dreamcast console was at my dentist's office to enjoy the likes of the very first Sonic the Hedgehog game.
Did you fucking watch that? Forget it, don't even watch that shit. I caught my niece watching that video and later heard her singing her own interpretation of the song used in that video that resembled the words "rooma rooma." Obviously, my niece was completely enraptured the amazing animations Shadow and Sonic displayed in that video.
Anyway, that was a rhetorical question up there. Seriously, fuck that shit. Hopefully it goes away soon.

Slate Writer Concludes Massachusetts Is Self-Centered Because We Like The Departed and Matt Damon on Facebook
Versus Gladiator and Owen Wilson.
In a new Slate piece called "Massachusetts Loves Itself," writer Ben Blatt posits that residents of our fair state are the self-centered Massholes we've never tried to deny being.
His claims are based on—drumroll please—three U.S. maps he made using Facebook data that seemingly show that we are totally obsessed with ourselves.
The first map shows that the most popular 21st-century Oscar-winner in Massachusetts is The Departed, while everywhere else in the U.S., people prefer Gladiator.
Um, OK, sure… Let's raise an eyebrow, reminisce about Russell Crowe's glory days, shrug, and move on…
The next map shows the most distinctly popular 21st-century Oscar-winners, where states' favorite movies are put in context against other states. In Massachusetts, The Departed wins again.
Does this mean we're full of ourselves? Only if you disregard a whole bunch of other tidbits one could glean from the map:
a. The Departed also wins in several other New England states, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Are Michigan residents Massholes too? Welcome to the family!
b. The movie Chicago is most popular in Illinois and surrounding states. Imagine that…
c. The South has an appreciation for 12 Years a Slave. Shocker.
d. Boston native Ben Affleck's Oscar-winning film Argo is the favorite film in Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.
Finally, Blatt presents his smoking gun: a map that compares the popularity of Boston native Matt Damon, who wins Massachusetts, against Texas native Owen Wilson, who wins the rest of the country.
Well there you have it. According to these Slate maps, Owen Wilson is more popular than Matt Damon in every U.S. state except for Massachusetts. Does that make us self-deferential? Er, maybe. But it also makes us right.
RELATED: Maps show Massachusetts 'distinctively' likes Neil Young, but is listening to Daft Punk.

South shore of LI, presumably in the Great South Bay? And you're paying $1600 to have it trucked up to CT?
That's the only part I'd call madness. If the boat works, if the engine and sails work, it will be an easy 3 days to bring the boat home. First day, either up the East River and into the sound, or around the east end and into the sound. Second day crossing the sound and probably hitting the river, third short day home. All you need is the weather window and there's some fine saiing in November, you just need to consider a watch cap, warm footwear, warm underwear, and gloves. Thin neoprene gloves in case there's a cold rain, but hopefully you don't need to go into that.
Of course, that all presumes someone has made sure the boat is safe and reliable--and I'd rather invest that up front in a survey and engine mechanic in any case, because that needs to be known no matter where the boat is or will be going. If the PO is willing to help you sail it home--that's probably a sign that he has some faith in the condition of the boat.
With all due respect to Mike, sails from 1979 are either shot or haven't been used. Even the best of canvas stretches out of shape, chafes, degrades from UV exposure. I had a friend with an old Chrysler wagon that ran just fine without any maintenance. Then we changed the spark plus and found that two of the original six actually had been consumed by the engine. With six all new plugs, it ran one hell of a lot better. Everything is relative.
31 year old sails? "Homey don't think so." Not if you've been SAILING with them.

A new Christian church is convening in Newton-Conover Auditorium, and as it does, it combines a comfortable worship with cutting edge technology, while also providing a firmer foundation for the facility and the faithful.
Offering its first services Easter Sunday, The Cove Church established a new Catawba County home in Newton-Conover Auditorium. Guided by a site pastor who shepherds his local flock, the growing regional church offers a relaxed worship setting that connects with a broader community of faith thanks to the power of the Internet.
Catawba County high schools have started graduation exercises. Students from Bunker Hill and Newton-Conover Health Science high schools. Ceremonies continue Friday and into the weekend.
Maiden: Friday, 7 p.m., Catawba Valley Community College. Newton Conover: Friday, 8 p.m., Newton-Conover High School. Fred T. Foard: Saturday, 10 a.m., Catawba Valley Community College.

Hickory Museum of Art has a fun, exciting way for children to spend some time this summer and develop their creativity in a fun and stimulating environment. The week-long, half-day Art Camps explore a variety of media. What better setting to learn, make art and have fun than at an art museum? Youth Educator Ginny Zellmer has been with HMA for 13 years. During her time there, art camp classes — which were in place before she came to the Museum — have grown in popularity, and in what is offered.
The Mountain View Baptist Church steeple came toppling down at about 3:30 p.m. Thursday after high winds ripped the 28-foot long tower from the churchŌĆÖs roof. Church officials said the fallen steeple left about a 12 feet by 12 feet hole in the roof.
Floyd Sigmon walked slowly up to his old John Deere Grain Binder on Thursday with a smile full of pride.
ŌĆ£I reckon itŌĆÖs about 80 years old,ŌĆØ Sigmon said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs probably from the 1930s.ŌĆØ
The ancient grain binder, now covered in rust and oil, was once a revolutionary piece of farming machinery, something Sigmon hopes to teach Catawba County citizens about very soon.
PGA and Champions Tour golfer Kenny Perry arrived in Catawba County on Wednesday and it ŌĆ£immediately felt like home.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£People sound like I do when I talk, and I feel very comfortable around here,ŌĆØ Perry said. ŌĆ£ŌĆ£Being a country boy, I enjoy the South and itŌĆÖs very comfortable being around people like this. ItŌĆÖs very nice.ŌĆØ

Despite a crowd of 35 to 40 people, the city of Claremont passed a budget Monday without any public comments or complaints.
After Claremont City Council members opened a required public hearing to the larger-than-usual audience, no one decided to speak, said Claremont City Manager Doug Barrick.
ŌĆ£The commissioners held the public hearing, and nobody came up to speak,ŌĆØ Barrick said. ŌĆ£The commissioners closed it, made a few comments and approved the budget.ŌĆØ
NASCAR owner and Super Bowl winning coach Joe Gibbs and one of his three drivers, Denny Hamlin, visited Catawba County on Tuesday.

Meatless Monday: Roasted squash and quinoa salad
(Read article summary)Make two meals from one effort by first roasting squash as a side dish, and then using leftovers to star in leafy green salad.
Beyond The Peel
I'm a big fan of doubling my efforts to get two meals in one. Today's recipe is one of those. Actually, I find all roasted veggies really have that potential. Like the Roasted Carrot recipe I shared a while back, or roast beets to make this soup today and use the rest to make this Roasted Beet Bruschetta tomorrow.
I mean really, isn't it nice to not have to always cook every night?
Isn't having a night off from time to time such a great feeling?
I love cooking but even I need a night "off" once or twice a week. In case you were wondering, I don't consider making a salad cooking, or chopping up vegetables to eat on toasted bread as cooking either, nor is heating up leftovers (one of my favorite cooking experiences). To me that's just getting ready to eat.
With squash being plentiful and very inexpensive it makes a great side dish with dinner tonight and a fabulous salad or soup tomorrow. I recommend making quinoa and roasted squash as a side dish one night, then using the leftovers, you can make this salad for a fabulous lunch or even a delightful dinner salad that won't taste like you're eating last nights leftovers.
That's always a good thing.
Roasted Cumin Spiced Squash
2 lbs. of cubed butternut squash
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika

Which grout colour do you like better? The first one is white, the second one is grey. I have white cabinets and a big wall of mosaic. I don't want the wall look too busy. |
Follow-Up Postings:
gray.... |
Gray |
The gray looks really nice! |
Gray. The white makes the pieces look like they're floating....an odd appearance. |
like the gray too-- what kind of counters, floors and cabinets? |
definitely the gray, i think. though it would be great to see the counter too and maybe a sample cabinet. |

I am not saying, because I am really bad at this...but I will say that I am amazed at the difference grout can make in the appearance of a backsplash. |
Need to choose a grout color tomorrow morn. Not able to post pic. Backsplash tiles are light taupy greige & are 3x8 subway. White cabs. with glaze. What are the rules for choosing grout? Go closest to color or contrast? I chose a slightly darker but now I think I would prefer a light to match cabinets.Help!! Not able to make decisions!!!! |

Join Stephen Snyders life after bankruptcy weekly new letters.. he is very imformative and I have used his advice and it works. of course he has things that you can purchase to help you along the way but they are all good tools.. ... he also answers questions that you need answers to ..
01-03-2011 04:17 PM - edited 01-03-2011 04:20 PM
I certainly didn't find this (card even if you burned them) to be the case for me--with Cap1 that is. They sent me three different pre-approvals post BK--one in my maiden name and two in my married name, and both times I tried to get the actual card they denied me after I went online and applied. The good news with that was the letters that they sent advised that the denial was based on them just running my name, not my SSN, so the inquiries don't count. I was a bit teed off because I really want a second post BK cc to continue to raise my score, but don't want to suffer the inquiry hit it might cost me to get one.
I know there are a TON of horror stories out there about them but First Premier Bank offered me a cc with a $700 limit, post-bankruptcy, unsecured. I've treated it well and they are now---8 months later, extending me a second card, but....I don't wanna suffer that inquiry hit! I suck. LOL.
Anyway, I wish you all the best. I'm not too far removed from where you are now. Been there for sure.

My BK 7 discharged Nov, 2009. I want to get a mortgage. I have nad no late payments, bought and paid off 3 cars, have 1 secured credit card and a credit score of 680 TU and 668 EQ. What banks are BK friendly mortgage banks and is FHA my best bet? p.s. My score dropped from 700 to 660 when I closed a credit card that charged a yearly fee. My score should go up since I obtained a secured credit card and have a 0 balance on a $1000 credit limit. Also, my debt to income is onl 10%
thanks, great forum

Jeruk bali is my new favorite fruit... omigoodness I loved it and ate myself silly with it...it's similar in taste to a grapefruit and an orange making nice with one another...dry enough on the outside to pick up segments without your fingers getting sticky, and bursting with juicy goodness once it gets in the mouth. I carried this in an LCB and had bags in both other hands... open market food shopping for fifteen people was an experience!
I can't get Suddenly SALAD out of my mind.
Why does it have to be SALAD? Why can't it be COOKIES? I never have an urgent need for pasta salad, but I frequently have urgent needs for cookies.

The most out of the ordinary thing I ever carried in my Tristar was 24 track hard disk recorder on the way to a trade show in Brazil!
The tastiest thing I ever carried in a Tom Bihn bag (to maintain the thread's "flavor" ) was a 3 pack of Cervantes Red Chile sauce. The best pre-made enchilada sauce I have ever tasted!
Restless Tech...another annoying, pointless blog...but at least its mine!
But see, that sauce actually looks good (as do the Indonesian fruits, chicory coffee, and basically everything else that people posted about). I imagine that Suddenly SALAD Bacon and Ranch flavor tastes like . . . I don't know . . . ranch-flavored death. With gross, reconstituted peas.
Chocolate-coated carmel with bacon peices (!!) bought at Chicago O'Hare airport during a transit. Unfortunately it was confiscated by customs when I arrived home in Australia. :-(
A purple glittery star ornament in my LCB along with chopsticks, both presents for Boyfriend. Unfortunately whenever I go to Lake Winnepesaukee I always seem to lose something in the bottom of the lake. Last time, it was the chopsticks, hence I bought Boyfriend a replacement set. Even though I didn't get within a foot of the water this time the purple star has disappeared. Maybe I'll find it when I open my bag next, long after the star has decided to escape its plastic bag and paint the Wasabi interior with flecks of impossible to remove sparkles.
I can assure you that those were not lost to everybody.
Tips about food from another country, eat it there, in the airport or on the plane (not hard to do considering the bland choices at airports and the hem, hem "quality" of airplaine food).
If asked just say you have a special diet.

Overall, I thought it was very good, but a little salty. Next time, I'll use low-sodium soy sauce. Also, I prefer my tuna fully cooked and this recipe was good for that. Very good though!
Thanks! :
Thanks! :
Outstanding raves by my guests. Used 1/4 cup soy, added 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil.
did not have the Worcestershire. Grilled on a very hot pan with raised grill identations. covered with lid and did two minutes on each side. Tuna was 1 1/2 inch thick.Next time i will dip the fish in a plate of toated sesame seeds prior to frying.

Made it in a minute and marinated the tuna like it said. It was not too salty at all! It was amazing. Definitely do this!
This recipe is so easy and the tuna comes out perfect. My husband thought I had gotten it at a restaurant it was that good. I cooked it just a little longer than it said, I don't like it rare; but it is the perfect easy recipe.
Don't let this sauce ruin a nice piece of fish! I used a GOOD soy sauce that was low sodium and it was way too salty. I did boil the sauce and I did add 2 T of apricot preserves but, again, too salty. Just grill that fish up with nothing and sqeeze lemon on it. A good piece of Tuna doesn't need this added flavor.
Great recipe for beginners or if you're just short on time due to last minute changes or if you're just too tired and you hate fast food.
I'm not a big fish person but this was great. I suggest making the sauce from the left over marinade as someone else suggested but use low sodium soy sauce and keep the sauce on the side instead of pouring it over the fish as it is fairly salty. The fish was out of this world. My wife and I prefer our fish a little more on the done side so we cooked if for about 3-4 minutes a side.
I needed a recipe fast for a beautiful piece of fresh tuna. This recipe was fabulous! In the reviews someone thought it was too salty. I used low salt soy sauce and it was perfect. I also boiled the left over marinade and then added cornstarch mixed in water to make a sauce....delicious!
The dish was great. I didn't have the opportunity to actually grill it. Nor did I have any Ginger. But all in all, the recipe gave me a great idea how to prepare Ahi Tuna for my very first time.
I would use less soy and oil next time, and add some honey to sweeten it up. Otherwise, it was good.

Monopulse Secondary Surveillance Radar (MSSR) is a surveillance technique in worldwide use in which aircraft respond to transmissions, or interrogations, from a ground radar system. Reply transmitted by the aircraft is received by the ground radar and the aircrafts specific data is fed to a Radar Display System (RDS) for ATC use. The significance of MSSR data is that it enables ATCs to identify and maintain contact with aircraft and provides 3D positional information.
Technology has evolved and Mode S MSSR, where "S" stands for Selective, has now become the benchmark standard to which Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) worldwide aspire to. As befits a nation embracing technical advancement, this technology has just been introduced to the United Arab Emirates, through the deployment of a Raytheon Series 300 Mode S MSSR system at Ras Al Khaimah International Airport.
MSSR Mode S transmissions are transmitted to each individual aircraft. This is because the availability of over 16 million addresses worldwide allows every aircraft to have its own unique address and each Mode S ground interrogator has an address.
This eliminates any risk of messages being corrupted by interference from any another message, one of the problems with conventional MSSR. It also means that once all ATC agencies are appropriately equipped, aircraft will be able to retain a single code, usually their flight number, for the whole duration of a flight, rather than having to change their code as they transfer from one ATC agency sector to another during the course of that flight.
Enhanced Mode S enables much longer response messages to be transmitted from air-to-ground and these extended messages contain invaluable data from the aircraft that can be used by ATC. This data, which is automatically extracted from the aircraft's avionics system, includes the heading of the aircraft, its true airspeed, ground speed, 25feet height accuracy, rate of climb or descent, rate of turn and also the height selected by the flight crew on the flight management system and all the elementary Mode S MSSR data.
This data is a major advance to ATC's since it can be selected on the radar display screens thus reducing the need for radio exchanges to check this information. It allows ATCs more time to concentrate on their primary function of maintaining a safe, orderly and expeditious air traffic flow.
This technology which is in operational use in Europe and the USA, is now available in the UAE. The Raytheon dual-channel Series 300 S MSSR system, which transmits both Mode S and conventional MSSR data simultaneously, provides ATCs at Ras Al Khaimah International Airport with air surveillance data for local use. The radar data will be supplied to the new Sheikh Zayed Air Traffic Control Center in Abu Dhabi for assistance in the provision of en route air traffic services within the UAE and neighboring regions.
Mode S data from the new Ras Al Khaimah radar
RAK International Airport can proudly state that it has the most advanced and capable civilian radar in the UAE region. RAK Airport's new MSSR was commissioned on the 11th March 2009 and received GCAA approval to use it operationally on the 3rd June 2009 once the new RDS and recorders at the ATC tower receives GCAA approval. During MSSR's Flight Trials it proved to have better than 99.92% probability of detection of responders within its 256 Nautical Miles radius. This radar is an invaluable tool ATCs now have to ensure a safe airspace and to optimize the usage of the airspace under RAK Airport's control.

good buy While this certainly isn't going to move you to tears, it will, however, give your room good warmth of color. It is a little more masculine than I would like, but it works very well with the decor in the room. It arrived well packaged, and was simple to hang. (you will want a tape measure and a level). I would say for the money, you would be hard pressed to find a better piece. The texture on this was pretty good as well, making it look richer than other similar pieces I have purchased from Overstock.

Amazing I could literally write a never-ending novel about this product; I am that pleased. The texture, use of color and unique style produce compliments from everyone that sees it. I bought it to give volume to and take up space on a long, awkward wall. It did that and much more. My only suggestion is that potential buyer ensure they have proper lighting. In my experience, track lighting gives you the best presentation for this art peice.

Stunning Oversized Abstract Triptych Ok, so I wanted to get myself a special birthday gift that I (and my house guests) would enjoy for years to come, and since I am an art lover, I decided to splurge and buy something that would be a nice addition to our (modern) apartment decor. My husband and I love abstract art, and when I saw this I knew it was something I would love to have (and assumed hubby would like it too), but I bought it without consulting him. After reading all the positive reviews here, I was ready to be �amazed� at it�s beauty. Well, I was so excited when the art was delivered (approx. a week after ordering) that I couldn�t wait to open it up and prepare to be wow�ed! Let me just say, I was NOT disappointed! This large (over-sized) triptych painting really delivers the goods... The �WOW� factor will be a conversation starter for sure!! The size is the first thing that people will notice, I think... The colors are a bit brighter that the photos seem to portray on my monitor (for instance there�s a reddish/orange area on the lower part of the 3rd piece, the one with the signature on it) that I didn�t really notice in the photos, but is more than fine by me - I love that color. Again, as others have mentioned, the piece is very similar but not �exactly� what is displayed online as they are each hand painted individually. One thing I think the website should mention is the depth of the pieces - they are boxy canvases (about 1.5� or so depth-wise) and are painted around the sides. LOVE THAT!! I couldn�t really tell from the photos that they are deep canvases and it wasn�t mentioned at all in the dimensions. The painting is definitely dynamic and gives off a real sense of �movement� with the black & white drips across all 3 panels. Almost reminds me of a symphony or something, can�t really explain it. They do make the room feel �warmer�... Also, love the texture --yes, the brush strokes are a bit large, but I can forgive that, considering the beauty of it all... There definitely was an odor upon first opening them up, but I left the window open for a while and it seems to have already dissipated somewhat and it�s only been a few hours. I expect it will go away altogether after a few days. I have already hung them up on the wall in our living room to see how they look on our walls and I can�t stop looking at it!! BTW, I must mention that none of the stretcher bars on mine were warped - all 4 corners of each panel hang flush against the wall. I feel I should mention this as others have complained about that. Overall this is Simply Stunning Artwork and I love my birthday gift to myself! Thanks so much, O!

Questions & Answers
Hello GDC, this painting would go nicely with black leather sofas. Thank you for you shopping with us. TB
Yes, definitely this set would go nicely with a black leather sofa as there is some black in it, in both the drips design as well as the painted design part. It would also go with a brown leather sofa which is what I have just purchased. In fact, I am not sure that this wouldn't go with any color sofa - yes, it's THAT versatile!
Hi, what are all colors on the canvas? Does it have any red? Thanks!
Hello inna1234, due to the difference of monitor colors, some painting colors may vary slightly but we try to represent all oil paintings colors accurately. Please refer to the enlarged images and reviews on the product page for best information on color. I don't find any red, maybe a dark rust with a reddish tint. Thank you for shopping with us.
Hi: the canvas is multi colored as shown in the picture. I love it. All the colors are vibrant and looks great hanging in my living room.
Yellows Oranges and Greens
The length and width is gien but what is the depth of the pictures?
Thank you for your question dawson11. The depth of the Hand-painted Oil 'Abstract' Canvas Art (Set of 3) is 1.37 inches. have a great day.
How much does the each of the set weighs? I'm using OOK professional picture hangers. Thanks.
Thank you for your question plugpool77. Each of the Hand-painted Oil 'Abstract' Canvas Art set weighs about 3.3 pounds. This oil painting contains 3 pieces, so the total weight of the item is about 9.9 pounds. Have a great day.
I have the same set of paintings shown, its only about 5 pounds each. they are very light just canvas and a 1.5" stretcher frame. a small nail will support them Jerry
The information here is a little conflicting. The product description says "The art arrives in a set of three and is gallery wrapped and stretched for a striking cohesive look." However, everywhere else it says the three canvases arrive unframed. Can you please tell me if it will arrive stretched/framed, or unframed?
The canvas is stretched around a wooden frame. You will not be able to see the frame of the art unless looking from behind
Hello scubasteph, this is on a stretched canvas, and is unframed. The term unframed refers to no frame around the outside of the art; however there is a wooden frame inside the canvas. I hope this helps. Thank you for shopping with us, and have a great day!
3 canvases arrive wrapped in plastic in a box. There are no frames. I just received this item last week.
Where is this painting made, and who is the artist?
This painting is made in China, and the artist is named Quillan.
I just received mine and they do not have a wire hanger on them. I guess the answer to the last question was not correct as it said that they would arrive ready to hang.
oops, It does have nail clip along the top.
What are the dimensions of each piece?
Dimensions: 24 inches wide x 36 inches high Combined dimensions: 72 inches wide x 36 inches high
Does it come with a wire hanger? ...or do you have to attach your own to it?
It will arrive ready to hang.

Also lost in the fire were more than 100 wildlife mounts, including big game such as elk, moose and deer, as well as game birds, which covered the walls of the clubhouse and restaurant.
"I lost about 80 mounts of my own," said Urseth, who has traveled the world hunting and fishing as host of the "Quest for the One" TV show. "Among them were two 391-inch elk, five moose and a world record bush buck from Africa. There were also about 10 whitetails that scored between 140 and 165 inches, and African plains animals."
The hunts for many of those big game animals were filmed and photographed for his show, so he's hoping those images might be used to make replicas.
Also lost in the blaze were albums and photos and memorabilia from tournaments over the years, and guns, including ones loaned to youths and an array of new ones the club sold.
"There's a lot of memories," said Terry Correll, longtime manager who was among the first on the scene. "My worst nightmare happened."
A shooting history
Urseth and another partner bought the property in 1985, which included a small lodge and 350 adjoining acres. Travalia later bought out Urseth's partner, and the pair have operated the business together ever since.
The main building, originally built in 1972, was expanded in 1985 and 1994, and underwent a major remodeling two years ago, Urseth said. Over the years they added horse barns, dog kennels and more land.
"In 1986 we put in the second sporting clays course in the U.S., and it's always been the largest," Urseth said.
"We've tried to be a premier outdoor facility for the Midwest. Above all, we've tried to be a place where people can get to know each other, where relationships and friendships grow, where people can share good times together."
Besides holding numerous charity fundraisers, the club also has a nonprofit arm that operates the Minnesota Youth Hunt Camp for boys and girls ages 12 to 16. The free weeklong camp, launched in 1986, teaches kids how to shoot and hunt and even clean and cook their own game. About 60 kids attend each summer.
"It's a wonderful program," said Urseth. "It's been so gratifying."
But now Urseth and Travalia are focused on rebuilding. Last week's fire means a new chapter for the Horse and Hunt Club.
"We'll be bigger and better," Travalia said.

Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon
Imagine you're enveloped in a deep, supportive Recaro seat, listening to the loping sound track of a big, big V-8. Rev it a little...there, just like that. Hear a faint whine? That's the supercharger. Now reach over to the center console and wrap your hand around the shift lever. It's wrapped in suede, just like the steering wheel. Press the meaty clutch and rev that eardrum-shattering V-8 to the limiter, throw it into first, and dump the clutch. Prepare for a serious burnout. Keep it aimed straight, but grab second quickly so you can keep the tire smoke going and the speed coming. Don't worry about stopping -- those are Brembo six-piston calipers up front, fours in the back, and they'll be ready when the time comes. Now look in the rearview mirror. A limited-slip differential made sure that the black smears of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 are identical twins. But wait -- what's all that space back there?
Open your eyes, my friend, you're in a wagon. A wagon with as much cargo room as a giant, silly BMW X6. Or twelve Porsche 911s. The same twelve 911s you just left in a cloud of tire smoke. The CTS-V Sport Wagon is not only far cooler than the sedan and the coupe that share its raucous powertrain and chiseled good looks, it's also evidence that Cadillac is willing and able to play to the desires of the keenest automotive enthusiasts in America. You know, people like you and me. At a time when other luxury automakers are paring wagons from their lineups, Cadillac not only builds a stunningly good-looking wagon, it equips it with an optional 556-hp V-8 and a six-speed manual. It seems like an impossible scenario, but there's no need to imagine it: the CTS-V Sport Wagon is very much a reality.

on Aug. 10, 2012 :
Oh Wow!! What a concept. This short is filled with bravery, cowardice, love, depravity, and generosity. This is a story about the ending of an old way of life and the beginning of something new and vital. I love the way Lori Lopez has blended an old concept with a new way of looking at were-people. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves werewolves and zombies.

on June 27, 2012 :
A little bit of horror + a little bit of paranormal + a little bit of romance = another excellent short story from the mind of Lori Lopez!
I have to be honest, short stories are not usually my "thing". I like developed characters and well-explained plots, and most shorts just can't carry that off.
Then, I discovered Ms. Lopez's stories. She has full-length novels that are amazing, but her shorter tales are equally well-done. With her gift for words, she deftly makes you aquainted with her characters by telling you what you want and need to know in order to make you care about them. She makes you think of questions as you're reading, and then succinctly gives you the answers to those questions.
The Lycaning holds true to this style. You'll find yourself rooting for the main characters. You'll fear the worst, and then comes the twist...

I will be the first to admit, and I have many times, I am not a werewolf fan. This story changed that.believe me, this is not the usual werewolf tale. Lori takes this age old monster and makes it her own in the best of ways.
Weather a werefan or not you will enjoy the new twist this storyteller has put to paper for our enjoyment. I don't want to give anything away but you will find a bit of love between these e -pages.

Fanmail Opening after Japan
Wahoo! We got loooooads of fanmail while we were away in Japan. SOOO MUCH! And the packages were so big that we could only get through, like, 20% of them. Wow guise! Thank you for being so generous!
We're planning on doing another livechat this week so we can get through the rest of the packages, because we feel guilty for having them here for so long. Some packages were sent for Valentine's Day and here we are two weeks after the day. Ah! Sorry! Let us know what time you think is best for us to do these chats. I think 2:00PM was a good idea, it seems!
Anyhow, thank you so much to the people whose packages we opened, including:
Rachel from Singapore
Weronika, Ewa, Alicja, Kasia, and Marysia from Poland
Esther from Phoenix
Pearobearo from Bangkok
Judith from Kenya in California
Side note: THANK YOU SO MUCH for the package from Poland! I'm definitely feeling a yearning for my Polishness lately. I only speak with my parents via FaceTime once or twice a week, and I feel my Polish slipping. Ah! It makes me sad. But seeing Birds Milk candy (which is actually a lot better than it sounds) totally reminds me of the TONS of it I ate when I was in Poland as a teenager. Seriously. Thank you! All of the packages are super fun and we really love them, but this made me feel all in touch with my heritage and all. Ah! Ok: I'll stop being awkward now.
Filed Under:
Live Chats-
I think the bird milk is something of a cultural reference. Since birds don't have milk, it's something that can't be obtained normally. (Idk, in Latvia there is a story in which a very spoiled girl announces that she wants bird milk immediately). The sweets is really delicious too!
Hi its Weronika, one of the people that send you the package from Poland :D We are soooo happy that you like the things we send you :D I woke up at 6 am and watched the live chat and was sooo surprised to see our package because we only send it a week before! Korean mail sure is fast….and we knew you like ptasie mleczko so we bought a lot :)
Simon if you don't want to forget polish you should talk in polish more in your videos :P there are A LOT od Polish Nasties out there trust me :) -
I can't tell you how much I love to watch you guise open fan mail! You two are so funny and adorable and you can just see how much you are loved!
See that is my problem! I want to build a house with no doors cause i AWAYS hit it…. with my shoulder, hip, or my favorite is when I get my clothes caught/tangled in the door jam. Yes that is right i have walked though a door opening (everything there just no door) and some how gotten my clothes tangled in the latch thingy(i know so technical)…. -_- I also have gotten so many freaking bruises from that it is crazy! Oh or the time i dropped a fork and it landed so perfect (prongs down) and it went into my toe. It bleed like a stuck pig! Now his family thinks i'm extreme accident prone cause i away seem to hurt myself at their home. Daw.
I definitely heard Martina announce "oregano" as being where someone was from. Just a LITTLE slip. XD So cute. ^^
I would love to see a video on how Martina did her rainbow eye-shadow for open the happy. It looked awesome.
Since this is such an epic gift, I expect follow up blogs/ videos :p
Agh! This video was filled with so much awesome X3
Psht, how can people only associate Canada with Maple syrup? What about hockey and mullets? =P Hehe, just kidding.
Arizona FTW(since I live in Arizona, so I'm happy it won..for once)!! :D Was definitely not expecting Arizona to win over freaking Bangkok
2 pm chat was perfect time, its 10 pm here in Texas (at least where I live) but around that time would be great =)
Saw this comic and thought of all y'all:
(It's nasty) -
YAY that was me who posted Winnipeg. Represent WOOT! yay
hello kitty made its first appearance in 1974, making it 39 years old. just thought i would share since you brought it up :)
Hey, guys. Here is an article about the one ingredient in the grass jelly drink. Mesona Chinensi is some sort of Asian mint.
I can't express how deeply moved I was when Simon ate Ptasie Mleczko exactly the same way as I always do :D THE ONLY RIGHT WAY to eat it! (BTW Martina, loved your bird impersonation) "Lubisie" is a combination of lubi=likes and misie=bears.
"Polish Nasties, we must unite." <- I second that! I bet that the girls who sent you this package (dobra robota, dziewczyny!) would love to welcome you in their town (side note: I'm from the same university. Just saying).
Putting my Polish fangirling aside, I was really curious (yeah) about the Swedish package because it was wrapped so lovely!
Where's the Peterborough love? You guys have mentioned Lake field, Pickering, Kitchener, Lindsay, Brampton and a bunch of other places in previous videos. That's like almost every where around Peterborough, except Peterborough.
The rainbow eye make-up looks really good.
But Martina, the Canadian coat of arms has a unicorn and a lion (which is sometimes substituted for a caribou) on it. That is pretty bad-ass in my book.
The wig makes you look like Sunny. But if in the future I send something to you, I'm assuming that nice wigs would be a good choice then?
Darn it, guys! Your videos are so anti-dieting… I was watching this at 4am and my stomach was gargling :(
You should put a warning on this stuff ;) -
i need the address!!!! pleeeease <3 i want to send one toooooo!!!!
Bucheon Woochaegook Saseoham #38
Jung-1 Dong, Wonmi-Gu
Bucheon-Si, Gyeonggi-Do, 420-600

They are in the process of having their P.O.Box changed so wait for it!
Martina, your beaver impersonation just killed me…
You received a lot of cool stuff today!
I need to send you guys lots of maple-ey treats for your guests from Québec (like Leclerc's Maple Leaf cookies, and maple cones and all… Maple smoked bacon ?)
i didnt join a long time ago and i would like to send a package but idk your adres so where can i find it ???
Can you make it either a few hours later pleasee :( 2 PM is 7 a.m. for me and I have class
I've never seen any of your live chats T_T -
Wow, you guys get so much good stuff! Jelly! hehe. I really want to send you something too though, I just don't know what or when yet. And yes, Martina looked sooo much like Sunny! Cute!
Ahhhhh! I have the exact same Doctor Who Tardis Cookie Box! I just love opening and closing it to hear the sound effects.
Though, I'm a little paranoid because I feel like it might just fade away and disappear into time and space, like the actual tardis, everytime I hear the noises :O -
OH and it's Dread locked
Wow you received from pretty nifty items, very cool.
My name is Callie and it trips me out when you call California Cali cause im like ERMGEGERD! S&M said my name TWT
OMG! Melon seeds! Those are soooooooo addictive! I miss those.
When the wig was a bit messy Martina looked like Gain, the rest of the time she looked like Sunny!
I am totally sending you guys a pack from Norway this summer, haha. I want Norwegian awesomeness to spread to the k-pop world! :D
Bangkok city you can't stop!! totally in my head now ha ha! aaaw spudgy looks so scrudgy and fluffy XD
Hi! I came from Poland and I wanted to explain meaning of "Ptasie Mleczko" [birds milk] from this video.
First: Wedel is the company which produces this stuff, and it's the best on the polish market. They developed Ptasie mleczko in the 1930s.
Second: meaning of this words "birds milk" can't be taken literally. Word "bird" stands for extremely light white cubical inside of chocolate. Its flowing in your mouth like a bird (this is mine interpretation, I didn't found any story behind this name). And milk stands for milk soufflé, which is inside.
I am really sorry for mine bad English, but I have hope, that you could understand what I had on my mind. -
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ptasie mleczko (Polish), (an idiom meaning "an unobtainable
delicacy" in Polish; could be considered to mean crop milk in all these languages), is a soft
chocolate-covered candy filled with soft meringue (or milk soufflé).[1]In Russian it is called
птичье молоко (ptichye moloko) and in Romanian lapte de pasăre, both
literally meaning bird's milk. In Poland it is one of the most recognized
chocolate confectionery having exclusive rights in Poland for the name—other
confectionery producers also make similar candies but named differently (e.g.
"Alpejskie Mleczko", Alpine milk). Nonetheless "Ptasie mleczko" is often used to
refer similar candies with vanilla, cream, lemon or chocolate taste. The phrase
"Ptasie Mleczko" is a registered trademark in the EU, number 00334752291.In Poland, Jan Wedel, owner of the E. Wedel Company, developed the first
Ptasie mleczko in 1936.[2] Wedel's inspiration
for the name of the confectionery came from his voyages to France, when he asked
him self: "What could bring greater happiness to a man who already has
everything?" Then he thought: "Maybe only bird milk.".[3]The origin of the name
has been attributed by Berdy to old Slavic folk tales, where the beautiful princess
tests the ardor and resourcefulness of her suitor by sending him out into the
wilderness to find and bring back the one fantastical luxury she does not have:
bird's milk.[4] The concept of
avian milk in fact stretches back to ancient Greece, when Aristophanes uses ὀρνίθων γάλα (Greek "ornithon
gala", the milk of the birds) as a proverbial rarity (Ar. Vesp. 508). A
similar expression lac gallinaceum (Latin for "chicken's milk") was also later used by Petronius (38.1) and Pliny the Elder (Plin.
Nat. pr. 24) as a term for a great rarity.In Russia, ptichye moloko was originally a type of
candy introduced in 1967 in Vladivostok and in 1968 by the "Rot Front" factory
in Moscow. It became a hit, and mass production was started in 1975 by the Krasny Oktyabr
("Red October") confectionery factory in Moscow.[4][5] In 1978, the
popular candy was transformed into a cake in Moscow's Praga Restaurant.[4] This was a
light sponge cake filled with a souffle and topped with chocolate glaze. Due to
the lack of intellectual property laws in Russia at the time, the recipe was
quickly copied by other restaurants in Moscow, such as Moskva, Budapesht, and
Ukraina.[5] In the
1980s, a special factory for ptichye moloko cakes was built in the Novye
Cheryomushky district in the south of Moscow.[5] Both the
cake and the candy versions of ptichye moloko are widely available to
this date in supermarkets and specialty stores in Moscow and other parts of
Russia.In Moldova, Lapte de pasăre (also "bird's milk" in
Romanian) is the
brand name of a similar candy made by the Bucuria Candy Factory. Despite the
name, the candy is not to be confused with the Romanian traditional dessert lapte de pasăre. -
haha im from singapore and i recognised all the things she sent yay :D

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
Re: ANALYSIS FOR FAST EDIT: DPJ victory in Japan's lower house

Elections on August 30 in the lower house of Japan's parliament, the
Diet, saw the opposition Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) win big, likely
308 out of 480 seats in the House of Representatives. Victory was
expected following increasing public dissatisfaction with the Liberal
Democratic Party (LDP), which has ruled Japan almost without pause since
1955, though the DPJ's margin of victory was greater than some expected
of a party whose relatively thin ranks have little experience in
leadership positions.
Preliminary counts show the DPJ won about 308 seats, while the LDP is
left with 119 seats, and others (including but not limited to New
Komeito, the Social Democrats, the Communists) took 53 seats. The LDP
thus lost 181 seats, while New Komeito, the LDP's former coalition
partner, lost ten seats. With 308 seats, the DPJ has an absolute
majority -- and while it falls short of the two-thirds majority needed
for some legislative actions and will have to form a coalition to reach
that threshold, the DPJ already controls the upper house, the House of
Councilors, and will therefore not need to worry about having to
override upper house vetoes like the previous LDP coalition had to do.
Now the party will have to put together a cabinet in preparation for
taking office in mid-September.
The DPJ was formed in 1998 and has gradually risen to power as Japanese
society and economy have experienced changes resulting from the
prolonged financial and economic distress of the 1990s. The party won
the upper house, in 2007. Then the 2008-9 financial and economic crisis
made matters worse for the ruling LDP, kicking unemployment up to 5.7
percent (high for Japan), adding to the country's vast number of
irregular and part-time workers who do not enjoy the same security or
benefits as full time employees, exacerbating the growing urban-rural
divide, and further blackening Japan's already dismal public finances
(with public debt rising well over 180 percent of GDP).
The relatively inexperienced DPJ now controls both houses of the Diet
(at least until upper house elections next year) and will have to set
about the tricky process of forming a coalition, establishing
credibility as a ruling party and managing the transition, all while
inheriting Japan's enormous financial and economic challenges.
The DPJ has promised to increase public outlays to support sectors of
society suffering most from the country's economic decline, while
cutting spending it sees as pork for LDP constituencies and fighting
back Japan's notoriously powerful bureaucracy.
The DPJ hopes to steer Japan's foreign policy in a direction less
reliant on the United States and more "internationalist" in perspective,
while continuing with developing and expanding the role of the Japanese
Self-Defense Forces. Most of these goals face constraints, regardless of
whether the LDP or DPJ are in charge. Japan's fiscal and economic
decline follow from its aging and shrinking population and structural
issues in the financial system. Meanwhile the US alliance is critical
for Japan's national security, and the Japanese military's evolution has
continued apace through various leadership changes due to external
factors, like the close of the Cold War and the rise of China, so while
the DPJ can attempt to change perceptions it is not likely to
immediately effect concrete changes on the security front.
Thus the DPJ will have its work cut out for it if it hopes to break free
of these constraints in crafting policy. Particularly it will need to
establish its authority and leadership over the LDP and LDP allies in
business and the bureaucracies, which will seek to make the DPJ's term
in power as short as Japan's brief period of opposition rule in 1993-4.

On another note I did receive an email for $5 off $30 purchase coupon this weekend. One time use only. It's a Kmart coupon so will it work against me to get to $50? And can I use my p&g with it? It's only good at select locations having a sidewalk sale. There's a link to the locations it's valid at, and this one did come from Kmart. Last edited by alibird; 05-24-2012 at 07:24 PM.. |
I bought 3 fixodent adhesive - $3.50 each 4 m&m snack bags - $10 1 Jewelry $5.99 4 Chef Boyardee 5 Cover Girl Lip Gloss at .74 cents 1 Stetson at $6.50 1 BBQ sauce Used 2 $1.50 off MM candy coupons 3 $1 off fixodent coupons 1 $1 off 4 chef boyardee coupon 5 $1 off Cover Girl coupon (oops - I bet that was a limit of 4) - Coupons went through for $1 though product was .74 cents) 1 $5 off Coty coupon Paid with points - $20 (which included my 5,000 bonus points for jewelery,) FORGOT to use one of my $10 P&G (my ex-husband called wanting to borrow money and got me distracted...) Got back a $5 GC for M&Ms and 6,600 bonus points.
I didn't get a coupon with my purchase today - so I am guessing it is Sears....? In Loving Memory of my Wonderful Husband |
Tonight I got the $10 P&G crt, the $5 M&M's gift card, and lots of bonus points ! Woohooo!! I bought 8 Pantene at $3.79 and used b1g1 and $3/2 cpns---I got distracted when the cashier didn't have any of the promo gift cards and I totally forgot to use the P&G $10 crt that I got last week----it's making me wonder if just possibly you have to have $30 in P&G stuff AFTER you use the P&G crt cpn in order to get a new P&G crt----there has got to be some logic to this deal but |
Last edited by alibird; 05-24-2012 at 07:25 PM.. |
Nope, used my $10 P&G coupon tonight on 8 Pantene(which would make it $27.xx after the $10) and got another $10 P&G back. All the signs here and the cart still show the 5/19 end date. I'm in Ohio(NE of Columbus) and it was a BigK. Always ISO drink single coupons(Vitamin Water, Honest Tea, Propel, etc.) and $ off 12 packs or 2L Diet Coke/Pepsi/Dr. Pepper. PM me for trades.
That is so good to know!!!! I am going to try tomorrow morning to put together enough stuff to hit $50 in the following deals...... 8 Pantene--($37) 2 Sally Hansen/Rimmel ($5.xx) Chinet/Glad ($15) 4 M&M's ($10) Hope we still get bonus points tomorrow!!!! Happy shopping! |
And what is with everyone getting distracted. I hope it's not contagious |
No worries. I probably would have presumed the same thing! Hoping if someone shops at Sears that they will report here if they received the coupon. |
And of course I had to do a test first. (then cashier let me keep the test 25% crt coupon. I wasn't going to argue about that I did get this 25% point crt you guys are talking about. I bought a pair of Capris on sale for $19.99. The had a store add with a 15% coupon that took off $3. So $16.99 for the Capris and used my points to pay. Let me know if you need anymore info. I'm glad I saw that Sears ad at the register. The cashier didn't mention a thing about it and when I asked about the 15% coupon in it she thought it started tomorrow. What is up with these people |
I need some help here, please.
What is the Schick deal? I can't find it on the main K thread. If it's on the Schick disposable razors...there is a BOGO coupon in last week's coupon supplement and specially marked packages have a FREE Fandango code that you can use when you buy 2 packs. These are really, really good because they don't expire until 2/13 and are worth up to $14.50. Imax anyone!!! I have ten bucks in Cat & GC to roll and would like more Fandango. SO please somebody let me in on the Schick deal. Also I know the wiki guru is on vacation, but could some kind person please delete all the outdated stuff from the wiki. It's really confusing to K newbies and I don't want to clutter threads. Thanks OT: I got 6 packs at CVS, paid for 3 with BOGO, got $10 ECB and 3 FREE Fandango codes! |
If anyone in WI, MI, or IL is doing Pic N Save, Copps, or Rainbow today you can get a MUCH better deal on the Glad FreezeWare containers there today with doubles.
They are just $2 each (insead of $3 at Kmart) and with doubles and the Glad coupon they would be FREE and you would get a $3 crt coupon. So the crt of each deal comes out to the same value wise BUT the containers are $1 less at Copps, Pic N Save, or Rainbow. Just thought I would put this out there! BUT now the M&M Snack Mix deal is a better deal at Kmart. So IF your doing that deal you need to go to BOTH stores! |

Highland Park Presbyterian Church of Dallas announced Friday that its settlement talks with Presbyterian Church (USA) over their legal property dispute did not conclude in a resolution.

A prominent Texas congregation voted narrowly on Sunday to remain with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) after debating over theological differences and considering a switch over to another conservative evangelical denomination.
The majority of members at First Presbyterian Church of Houston were in favor of moving to Evangelical Covenant Order of Presbyterians. However, the final decision fell short of the required two-thirds majority by 36 votes.
"This is the toughest possible outcome in many people's minds. To fall a few votes short will be very tough for them. I'm a little bit disappointed. I came out very strongly and passionately in favor of the move," said Pastor Jim Birchfield, reports the Houston Chronicle. more >>
The Rev. Cho Yong-gi, founder and pastor emeritus of Yoido Full Gospel Church in Seoul, South Korea, one of the largest Pentecostal churches in the world, has been sentenced to three years in prison for embezzling church funds.
Cho was found guilty of causing $12 million in losses to the church by having officials in 2002 buy stocks owned by his eldest son, Cho Hee-jun, at four times the market value, Yonhap reported on Thursday.
The 78-year-old pastor, who founded the church in 1958, will also have to pay about $4.6 million in fines. The junior Cho will also be serving a three-year prison term for colluding with his father, the Seoul Central District Court ruled. more >>
Striking images have been released, showing Ukrainian priests on the front lines before armed guards and burning barricades, reaching out to the people in the midst of violent conflict between the Ukrainian government and protesters, which led to close to 100 deaths on Thursday.
"Ukraine's Orthodox and Catholic priests have been frequently seen on or near the front lines of the clashes, ministering to protesters and riot police alike, though at times some have appeared to more closely align themselves near the protesters," The Washington Post reported on Thursday.
Ukraine's opposition leaders and President Viktor Yanukovich signed a deal on Friday to end violence. The EU-mediated peace deal came after a previous truce on Wednesday between the Ukrainian government and protesters failed, leading to fresh clashes where close to 100 people were killed and over 500 injured. more >>

Jim Birchfield, senior pastor at First Presbyterian, told The Christian Post that if the congregation votes to disaffiliate, it intends to join the new, more conservative Evangelical Covenant Order of Presbyterians. more >>

NetBSD and Google's Summer of Code
Re:Dear Submitter, (15 comments)
If it's a small matter of 'NetBSD receives interest as part of open source coding intiative' it seems very much like a newspaper putting the weather report on page one, above the fold...
Except that this wasn't on page one, above the fold at all. It was in the targetted, optional, low-traffic BSD section. In that sense it's kind of like putting the weather report on the weather page. Wierd stuff.

Re: Your biggest comeback in a tennis match???
In my 4.0 league final, I lost the first set 3-6 and it wasn't even close. I could only return 1 of his serve the entire set and barely held on to mine for three games. It wasn't even that I was playing badly. His serve has just on a whole different level. It has so much spin and more pace than any serves I've face before. I swear he was serving pro level because 95 percent of his second serves were right on the line.
I just hanged in there got some serves back, and won the second and third set 6-2 6-1

Pazo a Freiria is a charming little hotel up in the mountains of a Spanish city called Orense. It´s located in a beautiful valley and we were told the place was an old monastery built during the13th century. Now it´s a delightful country hotel with lovely rooms and very pleasant surroundings. Highly recommended for a peaceful and comfortable stay.
