The SEIU Andy Stern Leaves Behind
By 2007 doubts began to emerge inside SEIU about the transparency and strategic effectiveness of these arrangements with employers. The most vocal came from Sal Rosselli—the leader of a large, Oakland-based local, United Healthcare Workers West—who entered into a take-no-prisoners battle with Stern and the national union that quickly went public. UHW had been involved in a number of such agreements with nursing homes and hospitals in California, and in Rosselli's eyes the sacrifices involved had come to outweigh the benefits for the union. "This transactional exchange of members' rights and standards for greater numbers contradicts the core mission of SEIU," he charged in a February 2008 resignation letter to the union's executive committee. "An overly zealous focus on growth—growth at any cost, apparently," was distorting the promise of Stern's ambitious agenda and leaving workers with little control over their union, he argued. Despite considerable support for Rosselli's position inside and out of the union, Stern put the local under trusteeship in 2009. Rosselli and the UHW leadership in turn defected from SEIU and formed a rival union, the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW).
Also controversial was SEIU's pursuit of growth through strategic mergers. Sometimes these marriages were entered into willingly, like the 1998 melding of New York City's 120,000-member healthcare union, Local 1199, with SEIU. But when SEIU couldn't make these mergers happen peaceably, it often resorted to more predatory tactics. Between 2002 and 2009, SEIU led what amounted to a series of hostile takeover campaigns against smaller unions in the service sector, pushing members to switch their affiliation to SEIU and in some cases filing decertification measures against rival unions. SEIU wasn't always successful, but a pattern of behavior was clearly being established.
"SEIU became an acquisition machine," says John Wilhelm, president of UNITE HERE, which has been locked in a battle with SEIU over members and financial assets for the past year. When an earlier merger between UNITE and HERE began to fall apart in 2008, Stern initially invited the whole union to merge with SEIU; but then, when that idea fell flat, he encouraged the UNITE side to split off and join SEIU under the guise of a new grouping called Workers United. Stern argues that it makes strategic sense for SEIU to represent workers in hotels and office buildings that are owned by the same firms that employ the union's janitors or security guards. But Wilhelm attributes Stern's involvement in another union's internal affairs to a naked grab for power and members, and accuses SEIU of trying to home in on HERE's traditional organizing jurisdictions while seizing a share of UNITE HERE's substantial financial assets. SEIU has spent the past year mounting decertification campaigns in UNITE HERE–represented hotels and casinos in Puerto Rico, San Antonio, Philadelphia, Toronto and elsewhere, earning the ire of a labor movement that historically has had little tolerance for such interunion raiding. At a meeting of the AFL-CIO executive council in March, even John Sweeney, the former AFL-CIO and SEIU president who brought Stern into the union some thirty years ago, described his onetime protégé's recent actions as "despicable."
These ongoing fights have taken their toll on SEIU, draining millions of dollars from the union's operating budget and, by a number of accounts, leaving the union's staff increasingly frustrated with the leadership's priorities. They have also distracted attention from the fact that SEIU's actual organizing record never lived up to Stern's expectations. In SEIU's core private-sector jurisdictions of healthcare and property services, growth has been sluggish at best. Over the past ten years, SEIU added on average just 6,000 nursing home members annually, and in hospitals, as the union has acknowledged, "organizing didn't match industry growth" for much of that period. Even some of the more encouraging recent victories, like a 2006 campaign that brought union recognition to janitors in Houston and was hailed as a major breakthrough in the largely nonunion South, did not translate into the kind of membership gains the union had hoped for. By 2008 SEIU still represented less than 10 percent of hospital workers in the country, just under 11 percent of nursing home employees and less than 8 percent of the property services industry.
What headway SEIU did make during the Stern years came largely among public employees, particularly nurses and health aides in state-funded, home-based healthcare systems. By using its electoral clout to coax, cajole and bully governors and state legislators into granting collective bargaining rights to homecare workers or childcare providers, SEIU added hundreds of thousands of members over the past two decades, while expanding its footprint in low-membership states between the coasts like Wisconsin, Nevada and Missouri. Close to half of SEIU's organizing growth between 1996 and 2006 was a direct result of these kinds of political campaigns, and today homecare accounts for fully a quarter of SEIU's total membership.
But growth of this kind has depended to a great extent on the fiscal stability of SEIU's public sector employers, and as Eileen Boris and Jennifer Klein point out in their forthcoming book on homecare workers and organized labor, "the current recession and the fiscal crisis of the states now expose the Achilles heel of welfare state political unionism." In California, for example, where SEIU has more homecare members than in any other state, Governor Schwarzenegger has included deep cuts to the state's homecare system as part of his latest budget proposal, and it's unclear whether the union will be able to find many other willing partners in state capitals in the years ahead.
Not only does a reliance on public sector growth make unions vulnerable to fiscal belt-tightening, but with five private sector workers for every one in the public sector, the labor movement needs a private sector base to retain any significant social relevance. And without its recent gains in the public sector, SEIU would be hard-pressed to uphold its status as the country's fastest-growing union. As Wilhelm argues, "SEIU's success in organizing public and quasi-public employees has created a mythology that has obscured the reality in the private sector, which is that they have failed." The collapse of the Employee Free Choice Act, which Stern poured more time and energy into than anyone else, dashed SEIU's best hope for resolving labor's continuing private sector organizing difficulties.

TERERRO, N.M. (AP) - The New Mexico Game and Fish Department will be opening two popular recreation sites in Pecos Canyon following last year's wildfires.
The Bert Clancy and Tererro fishing and recreation areas along state highway 63 have been closed since last summer. They will open to anglers and wildlife viewers April 18.
Officials say anyone accessing these areas must have a valid hunting, fishing or trapping license or a Gaining Access into Nature permit. Visitors also must purchase a $4 Habitat Management & Access Validation.
Workers began stocking rainbow trout in the Pecos River and its tributaries this week.
The department also plans to stock other areas of the river throughout the summer, and will stock the Bert Clancy and Tererro wildlife management areas after they are opened to the public.

Kill a Watt
Yesterday, I discovered that I've been living a lie. I'd read somewhere, long ago, that cell phone chargers leak electricity from outlets even when phones aren't charging. But when I plugged in my new Kill a Watt to check, I found that wasn't so.
The Kill a Watt--which I discovered on Head Butler, the wonderful blog of must-have books, music, and products written by Jesse Kornbluth--is a device that measures how efficient your appliances are. Plug it into a three-prong outlet, and then plug something into the Kill a Watt, and it will calculate how much that item costs to run per hour, day, week, month, or year. (Of course, first you have to set your utility's electric rate, which is quite simple.) The cell phone charger, as I said, costs nothing. A microwave oven costs $1 per year. But a desktop computer--even in sleep mode--costs a whopping $190. Bet that's enough to remind you to turn your computer off tonight.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Lana!
Facts about Lana
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (Mostly)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Lana's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Lana is a very sweet 8 year old cat. She doesn't really like other cats, but she will co-exist with them. She doesn't mind dogs, either. She is an extremely affectionate cat. When I first brought her home, I showed her the litterbox, food and water, and went to lay down because it had been a long day. I was shocked when, 3 minutes later, she jumped on the bed and snuggled with me. I had just met her, and she had lived for several years with her previous owner, yet she adjusted to life in a new home almost immediately.
This older lady could still have a decade in her, please consider giving her a forever home too! Visit www.cofas.org for more information or to fill out an application. You can also e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Other Pets at Circle of Friends Animal Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lana, a Greensboro Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Greensboro, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Greensboro.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Greensboro already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Greensboro breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Greensboro paves the way for another one to be saved.

- As a biracial, bicultural, and bilingual citizen of the world, Dr. Samuel Betances inspires willing learners to aim high, reject rejection, and embrace themselves and each other as powerful team members working toward a more prosperous future.
Decades of university teaching, publishing articles, and consultantships with private and public organizations bring to each event a breadth and depth of understanding on how we must make sense of differences. His newly released educational book/tape series Ten Steps to the Head of the Class has been outstandingly received by audiences everywhere.
Dr. Betances challenges and motivates clients in Fortune 500 companies, governmental agencies, community groups, community colleges, universities, lecture series and commencement events. New, non-sexist, and balanced systems, which will not benefit any one group at the expense of another, can only emerge when white males and non-traditional groups work together.
He brings audiences to their feet in women′s issues forums, African American historical month activities, Hispanic events and celebrations on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to name but a few. He challenges negative mindsets with his problem solving methodology and extensive grasp of issues.
Dr. Betances has merged eloquence and teaching skills to deliver his powerful message with conviction: "It matters less where we are from-what really matters is where we are going. Accept our diversity. Embrace it. Make it work for you. Harness the rainbow."
This great motivator was not supposed to make it. Out of the bowels of inner city poverty, stigma of minority group status, violence, welfare, and illiteracy in two languages, he arose. With strong spiritual convictions and a passion for reading, Betances has taken the hard lessons from the mean streets of life and reshaped them into his personal vision. He embarked on a journey from dropping out of school to a Doctorate from Harvard University. Today, America′s foremost communicator on the challenge of casting away barriers to success is an honored Professor Emeritus, a consultant to Presidents, managers, community groups, clergy members, educators, and a role model for youth.
Dr. Betances is a superb workshop leader. His style is to guide a highly interactive, inclusive, fun, and spirited search for solutions. Sessions are customized to fit client′s needs. Group exercises and interventions are geared at removing the formal and informal barriers, which impede the goals of the organization.
His success at bringing cultures together has earned him many awards. Much more than a lecturer, Dr. Betances works to help others learn the importance of pulling cultures together as a way of bringing America back to the top–in education, business, and society in general. As he puts it, "Our mission is to make America stronger, healthier, and freer than when we found her."
Please note that while this speaker's specific fee falls within the range posted (for Continental U.S. based events), fees are subject to change. For current fee information or international event fees (which are generally 50-75% more than U.S based event fees), please contact us.

The Town Of La Plata Selects Mueller Systems For Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) And Remote Disconnect Meters (RDM)
CLEVELAND, N.C., Aug. 29, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Town of La Plata, Md. will upgrade its water system with Mueller Systems' state-of-the-art advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) network and remote disconnect meters (RDM). Mueller Systems is a leading provider of innovative water infrastructure products and services and technologically advanced metering systems for water, electric and gas systems.
Mueller Systems will provide La Plata with the Mi.Net® Mueller Infrastructure Network for Utilities—an advanced two-way AMI network that will link all water meters located throughout the town's service area. The Mi.Net System enables utilities to improve operational efficiencies and customer service by fully automating the meter reading-to-billing process and linking meters, distribution sites and control devices in a single data network.
La Plata will also replace approximately 50 percent of its water meters with the 420 RDM—Mueller Systems' fully integrated remote disconnect meter. The 420 RDM enables utilities to remotely connect and disconnect water services through the Mi.Net System or from the safety of a vehicle to help improve employee safety and customer service, while increasing operational efficiency and cost savings.
"The Mi.Net System will help improve our water distribution network by increasing operational efficiency and reducing water loss while also providing our customers the ability to securely access real time, reliable, water consumption data through the internet," said Bobby Stahl, Director of Operations, Town of La Plata. "The 420 RDM will also expand our capabilities through the system by allowing us to reduce the time and labor costs associated with connecting service in the event of a customer move in or move out, which are common occurrences in parts of our service area considering La Plata's close proximity to a large business district." "La Plata is committed to improving customer service and more accurately accounting for water that is distributed through its system," said Hassan Ali, Vice President and General Manager of Mueller Systems. "Implementing an advanced AMI system will help it to efficiently achieve these goals. It should also demonstrate how effective remote disconnect meters can be in enhancing customer service and reducing labor costs as part of a fully functioning two-way fixed network system."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

To describe the building in which Jay's Seafood finds itself today is to depict the history of Dayton since the mid-1800s. Once the Dayton Corn and Grist Mill and later a school for young ladies, it first became a restaurant in 1882 when its proprietor paid to transform 5,400 pounds of mahogany into a 32-foot bar, eventually frequented by the likes of Buffalo Bill. And just like the rest of the decor?which comprises antique light fixtures and a railing from the Old Xenia Hotel?the ingredients that form Jay's dishes too come from an eclectic mix of sources.
Jay's dished out the freshest seafood from various suppliers around the United States, while Angus beef arrives fresh from Chicago and is hand-cut into steaks in the kitchen. The results of these efforts manifest in succulent house specialties such as spiced bourbon salmon, sea scallops baked in garlic butter, and grilled filet mignon. Each meal is made even more enjoyable with a featured wine by the glass or bottle and one of Jay's housemade desserts.
Bred on Louisiana-style cooking, local restaurateur Grant Gieseler was dismayed by the lack of quality southern fare in the Cincinnati area. He and his business partner Blake Gieseler founded Bayou Fish House to introduce the area to fresh fried fish and hearty gumbo. Diners can grab meals to go or kick back at the bar or seating area and tell exaggerated tales about the biggest fish they ever ate. The eatery's walls sport a paddle, a life preserver, and various aquatic tchotchkes to remind fish of their home.
Lauded by Cincinnati magazine and CityBeat, Tony's of Cincinnati intrigues tongues with a menu loaded with specialty steaks and seafood platters. Start fresh feasts with selections from the raw bar, such as shrimp cocktail ($16) or oysters in the half shell ($2.50 each), which recount tales of the sea that Herman Melville would require twelve-hundred pages to tell. Nine ounces of juicy, center-cut filet mignon glisten next to a choice of potato ($34), and organic Scottish salmon intermingles internationally with Tuscan cannelloni-bean ragu and tomato-chardonnay broth ($30). Like a cherry atop a pile of cherries, crown the mouthwatering feast with homemade cannoli, whose crisp shell and creamy fillings take teeth for a last hurrah.

In a Midwestern city that's hundreds of miles from the ocean, it can be hard to find fresh seafood. But Coastal 864's chefs hope to change that by bringing lowcountry crawfish and seafood boils to landlocked patrons. In their mobile kitchens, they cook everything from fresh crawfish imported from Louisiana to shrimp to blue crabs in a lemongrass stock, then toss the spice-rubbed morsels in a garlic butter sauce. All of their boils come with sides of roasted corn, kielbasa, and red potatoes.
They also offer drop-off catering for events such as birthday parties, holiday gatherings, and tailgates, giving patrons a break from the traditional game-day food of hot dogs cooked on a hot car radiator. Plus, they pair their Cajun creations with domestic and imported beer.
Founded in 1947 as a poker hall for traveling tycoons, The Clarmont became a steakhouse when it fell out of fashion to use grilled beef slabs as chips. Since then, the Columbus institution has added seafood and fresh fish offerings to its sumptuous menu. The culinary fireworks begin at dinner with the always-goes-fast prime rib of beef ($19.59), seasoned and roasted on-site each day, or The Clarmont's 50-year standby: 12 ounces of filet mignon ($30.99), which you can top with fresh mushrooms ($2.99), drizzle with port demi-glace ($2.95), and side with french-fried onion rings ($4.79/full order), among other things. Beyond the beef, discriminating diners can branch out into lamb osso bucco ($23.99), Long Island duckling in a bing cherry glaze ($21.99), or potato-encrusted salmon in an orange horseradish beurre blanc ($19.99). A wine menu featuring 17 by-the-glass options, such as Italian Al Verdi Pinot Grigio ($5.25), and more than 100 bottle options are available to pair with delectable dishes, as well as lubricate conversation that's been desiccated by too many office anecdotes.
At Smith & Wollensky Steakhouse, it?s not unusual to spot a movie star sipping martinis or a politician savoring their first bite of a juicy porterhouse. And the menu at this classic American steakhouse?which operates in eight cities across America?is just as impressive as the clientele it attracts. At each location, an Executive Chef expertly prepares USDA Prime dry-aged steaks and stacks shellfish bouquets with lobster, oysters, and other marine delicacies flown in fresh daily.?Savor classic cocktails or choose from an award-winning wine list, which includes Smith & Wollensky's exclusive Private Reserve?Cuv?e Meritage or Sauvignon Blanc. And if you want an excuse to linger, each location's resident Pastry Chef whips up mouthwatering specialty desserts, featuring the Gigantic Chocolate Cake and Coconut Layer Cake.

Stargate SG-1 - First time viewing of whole series

Re: Stargate SG-1 - First time viewing of whole series
It seems Rya'c is fully brainwashed at this point. Shooting your child in order to try and rid him of a Jaffa is an emotional moment.
Well, they could've had Dr. Frasier do electro-shock therapy in a controlled environment, but as an alien carrying a larval Goa'uld symbiote, Tea'lc can't get health insurance because he's got a pre-existing condition, and his family just arrived and hadn't needed coverage yet. The health plan Tea'lc had under Aphophis expired 30 days after he turned sho'va, and of course as a cost-cutting measure the Goa'uld had convinced the jaffa that it's better to die in battle than become disabled.
So Tea'lc had to use a zat, only one step away from cauterizing a wound with a staff blast because he can't afford Neosporin.
Anyway, "Secrets" was a good episode, and I believe it marks the first appearance of Michael Shanks' daugher in the series, appearing as a fetus. Mom is the actresss playing Sha're. Does IMDB credit that?
When you say you expected a "Clintonian type actor" to play the President, I hope it doesn't refer to actors who grope their co-stars.
The series does feature quite a few real Washington folks, including General John Jumper, Secretary of the Air Force, and perhaps another Secretary of the Air Force, sometimes in key scenes set in the SGC or the Oval Office.
Back in the 1960's Ernest Borgnine was called to Washington by the Secretary of the Navy, and he says he was nervous as could be because he had no idea what it was about. The Secretary told him that about 30% of new recruits were looking to join McHale's Navy, and this his show was having a tremendous impact. I think Stargate SG-1 had the same effect.

Where, in all the revelations of eternity, is there another such a scene? Where, in all the disclosures of God, and His awful administrations, is there another such a picture, or another such a crisis? Search the book of inspiration from end to end, and you will find no parallel to it.1
What ought we to look for as the first thing, in the Apocalypse, which , as we have seen, has the end of the many days and the time of the end for its great subject, but the unsealing of this book, the sealing of which is so prominently spoken of in the book of Daniel? . . . We take it therefore that the opening of the seals of this book is the enlargement, development, and continuation of the Book of Daniel, describing, from Gods side, the judgments necessary to secure the fulfilment of all that He has foretold.2
As attractive as this explanation may be, it falls short of explaining the emphasis placed in this chapter between the right to open the book and redemption. The identification of this scroll is not found only in the fact that, like other prophetic writings, it is sealed, but also in its close association with redemption (Rev. Rev. 5:9+) and the events which follow upon the loosing of its seals. The scroll is inherently related to the fulfillment of a purchase. Ladd suggests the scroll is a form of ancient will. Heb. 9:1).3 This view has the advantage of explaining the emphasis found here upon the death of the Lamb (Rev. Rev. 5:6+, Rev. 5:9+). The events which transpire following the loosing of the seals are directly related to Christs inheritance:[Psalm Ps. 2:1-3] describe[s] the rebellious world forces gathered together to try to prevent Gods Messiah from taking tenant possession or administration of the earth. [Psalm Ps. 2:7] records that when the Messiah confronts this challenge, He will declare what God has already decreed concerning Him: Thou art my Son. . . . the biblical term son involves the concept of heir (Gal. Gal. 4:7). Thus, as Gods Son, the Messiah is the heir of an inheritance given to Him by God. Psalm Ps. 2:8 presents Gods description of that inheritance: I shall give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.4
Although the loosing of the seals results in the realization of the promised inheritance (Ps. Ps. 2:8), it seems that more than just a will is in view. A purchase was made at the cross, and now the deed of that purchase is being claimed by its rightful owner. While Babylon had besieged Jerusalem, God told Jeremiah to purchase a plot of ground in Israel. Even though the land had fallen to Babylon, Jeremiahs purchase demonstrated the reality of Gods promise to restore Israel back to the land (Jer. Jer. 32:14-15, Jer. 32:43-44). There are significant parallels between Jeremiahs deed of purchase and Messiahs redemption described in this chapter. In both cases, a purchase was made in advance and a period intervened before the possession was fully awarded at a future date.Although [Jeremiah] had paid the price of redemption for this cousins land and thereby had gained the right of tenant possession, he could not take immediate, actual possession of the land for at least two reasons. First, Jeremiah was confined in prison when he paid the price of redemption (Jer. Jer. 32:2-3, Jer. 32:8-9). Second, his cousins land was already under Babylonian control when Jeremiah paid for it. Because Israel had rebelled against God so persistently, its land inheritance had been turned over to foreigners (Lam. Lam. 5:2; Jer. Jer. 32:21-24, Jer. 32:28-36). The Jews (including Jeremiah) would be exiled to other countries, and their land would continue under enemy control for several decades; but then the Jews would be regathered to their homeland, and their land would be restored to their control (Jer. Jer. 32:15, Jer. 32:37, Jer. 32:41-44). Because he knew that actual possession of the land could not take place for many years, Jeremiah commanded that both deeds of purchase be placed in a secure place for a long time (Jer. Jer. 32:13-15).5
The purchase price has been paid, but that which has been purchased remains in the hands of usurpers. Thus, a chain of judgments are brought forth by which the purchaser takes back what He rightfully owns. In the end, the usurpers are evicted and that which has been purchased is finally in the hands of the purchaser.The contents of the Βιβλιον [Biblion] must be brought into relation to the whole chain of judicial acts which unfold from Rev. Rev. 6:1+ on and from which there develop organically the visions of the trumpets and bowls. Hence we are not concerned merely with the 6 or 7 seals themselves, but with all the last events up to the consummation.6
The meaning of the scroll is best understood by recognizing the truth in each of these ideas:Frequent references to the events of the seals, trumpets, and bowls appear throughout the remaining visions in Revelation . . . indicating that the content of the seven-sealed scroll ultimately includes the unfolding of the consummation of the mystery of all things, the goal or end of all history, for both the conquerors and the worshipers of the beast. In Rev. Rev. 10:7+ we are told that in the days of the sounding of the seventh trumpet the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets. From this it may be concluded that the scroll contains the unveiling of the mystery of God that OT prophets foretold . . . Thus the seals conceal the mystery, which only Christ can disclose (Dan. Dan. 12:9; Rev. Rev. 10:4+), of how Gods judgment and his kingdom will come. . . . The scroll, then, is not only about judgment or about the inheritance of the kingdom, Rather it contains the announcement of the consummation of all history.10
Jeremiah signed and sealed shut one copy of the scroll deed of purchase and had witnesses sign it, apparently on the outside (Jer. Jer. 32:10, Jer. 32:12). Concerning this practice, Weemse wrote, For the manner of writing the contract, he who was to buy the ground wrote two instruments; the one to be sealed with his own signet, the other he showed unclosed to the witnesses, that they might subscribe and bear witness of that which was written. This, the witnesses did subscribe UPON THE BACK of the inclosed [sic] instrument . . . Gaston Maspero gave an example of an enclosed document being used as evidence. Contracts stamped upon clay tablets have been found in Babylonia, enclosed in an envelope of clay, on the outside of which an exact duplicate of the contract is impressed: if in the course of time any disagreement arose and it was suspected that the outside text had been tampered with, the envelope was broken in the presence of witnesses to see if the inside text agreed with it or not. The fact that the sealed scroll of Revelation Rev. 5:1+ had writing on both the inside and the outside (Rev. Rev. 5:1+), in the same manner as Jeremiahs and other deeds of purchase in Israels land redemption system, indicates that it is a deed of purchase.11
All seven are part of the same sealed scroll; all seven have the same purpose or function with regard to that scroll; all seven will be part of the irrefutable evidence that Christ is the true Kinsman-Redeemer; all seven will be broken by Christ; and all seven will be part of the same program of Christs evicting Satan and his forces and taking permanent possession of the earth.12
The sequence of events which follow from the opening of these seals indicates that all the judgments which following are included within the seals:A study of Revelation Rev. 8:1+ through 18 indicates that the seventh seal will contain the seven trumpet and seven bowl judgments. Thus, when Christ breaks all seven seals of the Revelation Rev. 5:1+ scroll, He will thereby instigate the total bombardment of divine wrath or judgment against the domain of Satan and his forces, which will cover the 70th week of Daniel Dan. 9:1 up to Christs coming immediately after the 70th week and the Great Tribulation.13

Jonathan Dwyer doubtful vs. Giants
PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jonathan Dwyer might not get a chance at a third straight 100-yard game Sunday against the New York Giants.
AFC North blog
ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley writes about all things AFC North in his division blog.
Dwyer is listed as doubtful thanks to a right quad strain that prevented him from practicing Friday. Starting running back Rashard Mendenhall (right Achilles) is also listed as doubtful, leaving Isaac Redman and his sore ankles as the healthiest feature back on the roster.
"The good thing is that we've got three good running backs, so when somebody goes down we always have somebody else ready to go," Redman said. "It's a shame that we all can't get healthy at the same time, but that's what makes it crucial that we have so much depth."
Dwyer became the first Pittsburgh back in four years to post consecutive 100-yard games when he rushed for 107 in last weekend's 27-12 win against Washington. He tweaked the quad in the fourth quarter and was limited to just one day of practice this week. Though he stressed "everything was cool right now," Dwyer likely will have a diminished role if he plays at all.
"It's all about getting wins and getting to the Super Bowl, that's all I care about," Dwyer said. "Sure, I want to be out there and play, so when I'm ready to go I'll be on the field."
Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Friday and was listed as questionable for Sunday's game. The veteran has been on a once-a-week practice schedule and had his lone day of work this week on Thursday.
Giants Blog
Looking for more information on Big Blue? ESPNNewYork.com has you covered. Blog »
Safety Antrel Rolle (concussion) is probable, linebacker Keith Rivers (calf) is doubtful and tight end Bear Pascoe (ankle) is questionable for the Giants.
While Steelers safety Troy Polamalu will miss his fourth straight game and sixth overall this season with a right calf injury, linebacker LaMarr Woodley (hamstring) and safety Ryan Clark (concussion) are probable. Woodley has dealt with a series of hamstring issues during the last year but believes he will be on the field as the Steelers (4-3) look for their third straight win.
"I'm not worried about it at all," Woodley said. "The things that have happened this year, it just takes a little time for it to settle down and heal, and then I'll be ready to play. I feel a lot better today, and I'll be ready to play Sunday."
Woodley will get a little extra time to rest at home. The Steelers will remain in Pittsburgh until Sunday morning, leaving around 9 a.m. in advance of the 4:25 p.m. kickoff vs. the Giants (6-2). They will fly back following the game.
Typically NFL teams are required to travel one day in advance, but the league gave the Steelers permission for the one-day trip after the team's hotel in Jersey City lost power due to Sandy.

Leicestershire County Cricket Club is launching new coaching clinics for this February's half-term holiday.
Error loading RSS.
Right Menu
Leicestershire Foxes were entitled to feel extremely hard done by as Northants Steelbacks escaped with a point from the NatWest T20 Blast game at Grace Road.
The Steelbacks were skittled for 82 in just 16.2 overs after being inserted on a dull and breezy evening but the game was washed out just when the Foxes were well on the way to a much-needed two-point haul.
Seam trio Charlie Shreck (2.2-0-13-3), Anthony Ireland (4-0-19-3) and Ben Raine (3-0-12-3) each picked up three wickets for a lively Foxes attack.
It was a second consecutive T20 career-best for all-rounder Raine, who took 3-25 at Headingley on Tuesday.
Fellow seamer Scott Styris (4-0-15-1) also excelled and Niall O'Brien took a Foxes record five catches behind the wicket as the team produced a superb performance in the field.
In team news, O'Brien and Ireland came in for Rob Taylor and Nathan Buck from the side that lost to Yorkshire Vikings while the Steelbacks were unchanged from last night's win against Birmingham Bears.
Shreck set the tone for the evening by having Richard Levi (0, 2b) caught by O'Brien. Captain Kyle Coetzer (17, 17b) cracked the first boundary through cover point at the end of the first over before Ireland sent down a cracking set to Dave Willey. The seamer beat the outside edge on two occasions and only three runs were scored.
Coetzer struck Raine through the covers for four and three off consecutive balls in the third over, and Willey pulled the first ball of the next over very fine for four. But another important breakthrough was made as Willey (9, 11b) chipped the next ball to Styris at mid-off.
Middlesex loanee Adam Rossington (4, 5b) came in at four and the batsman gave himself room to strike the last ball of the 4th over to the cover boundary. Rossington's joy was short-lived; he clattered his next delivery off the returning Shreck high to Raine in the covers.
Matthew Spriegel (6, 5b) drove the first ball off his innings from Shreck to the cover boundary but Ireland then bowled another good over and had the left-hander caught behind at the end of it. The Steelbacks were in trouble on 35-4 at the end of their powerplay.
Northants gathered six singles off Jigar Naik's first over and Ireland completed his terrific spell from the Bennett End. The seamer had Coetzer caught by Boyce at deep mid-wicket for 17, the Steelbacks now in further bother on 42-5.
Although Ireland's last ball was pulled for four by Crook, the bowler still ended with fine figures. Naik's second over went for seven before Styris came on for his first bowl for the Foxes. The Kiwi international struck with his second delivery, having Ben Duckett (6, 7b) caught at the wicket by O'Brien. James Middlebrook then played a delicate late cut for four as Steelbacks limped to 58-6 at halfway.
Middlebrook struck a straight six as ten came of the 11th over from Naik (3-0-23-0), and after a Styris that went for seven, Raine picked up two more wickets, both caught behind. Crook (17, 16b) was first to nick and Middlebrook (13, 13b) followed as O'Brien completed a quintet of victims.
Styris' third over cost just a couple and Raine picked up a second consecutive three-for as Graeme White (2, 7b), the Steelbacks batting hero of yesterday evening, edged to Naik at slip.
All-rounder Styris finished his spell with another superb over before Shreck returned to dismiss Ollie Stone (3, 7b) in the 17th over. The batsman chopped onto his stumps to complete a tough innings for the visitors.
Rain then fell at the interval and it got heavier and more persistent so the Foxes had to settle for a point. The team's next game is against Derbyshire Falcons at Chesterfield on Sunday afternoon (2.30pm start).

For majority of my product pages I know what field/(s) I will be using for my <title> tags but not sure where get description, keywords from.
eg. Best forum on web: Webmasters - webmasterworld.com
Am I also write in assuming some of you generate the tags and then modify on a page by page basis for the most important pages.
Thanks, sleepy
Personally, I only use dynamic title & description meta tags; keywords are a waste of time in my opinion. Works great for specific products, especially when you use the "ProductTitle" for anchor text to link to your 'product' detail pages. Great for the users, great for search engines.
Why do you think that, As I know the keywords is very important!
Because I nixed the keyword tags 6 months ago and things have never been better on Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

OKW Questions
We'll be visiting OKW in Feb 2014 and will have a studio. This year when we stayed we had a small fridge but this no longer shows on the list of room amenities on the website. I know they were renovating the rooms there and wondered if they've removed the fridges.
Also the pizza delivery option from Port Orleans no longer shows on the 2014 Dining Plan leaflet. Anyone know if they'll still be delivering to OKW in 2014? |
Not 100% sure, but Disney did a major recall of the smaller fridges, and is replacing them in the majority of the resorts. In the mean time, because so many people were upset about it being listed and not there when they came, they removed from list of amenities.
BUT, I thought it did not affect DVC resorts, even the Studios... |
Can't help you on the pizza. You may just have to ask that question again in January. |
Thanks for the replies. I guess they'll probably update the website later on.
Can't wait to go back, only 172 days to go. :) |
can't eat pizza - allergies - so go ask on the DVC resort board for a list of the offsite places that deliver pizza to OKW |
Last nov we stayed in a 1 bdr and ordered dominos several times. They asked our room number and called us back at the resort to verify and they delivered straight to the room. However I would caution not to use the flyers that are dropped off and not give your credit or debit card info.
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 06:22 AM. |

0Aug 3, '05 by HeartsOpenWideQuote from serpico79000From what I understand you only have to have your RN and a Bachalors in ANY feild. I know that with the midlevel program I want to get into that they accept any bachalors degree as long as you are an RN, however, they do give you some testing to see if you need to take any additional nursing courses to make you elligble for their masters program.Hi all-
Could any NP's out there (especially FNP's) comment on how useful a BSN is when you are an NP.
I have a BS in a non-nursing science and I am applying to a entry-level MSN-FNP program in which you become an RN in the first year and a half and then work as an RN while finishing the MSN and becoming a FNP.
Am I better off going into an accelerated BSN program and then appplying to a MSN-FNP program as a RN with a BSN?
Should I stick with my original plan and just go into the MSN-FNP program straight away and not worry about my BSN?
Hope this makes sense.
I should add that two off the FNPs I work for became FNPs before it was required to have a bachalors and they are two if the best I have ever worked with! -
0Aug 30, '05 by PapadocHi All!
I need some advice. I live in NY (Brooklyn), hold my RN license, and current registration since 1993. Bu t my issue is I'm a foreign NS grad, and have interdisciplinary B.S. degree ( premed science prereqs), and M.S. in acupuncture. I realize that none of these are making my life any easier. But may be some of you have certain exp,and/or suggestions. What I wanted to do is RN to MSN (possibly with BSN in the interim), and then MSN to FNP. I know about allnursingschools.com...but as you know info overload could be even worse than not enough info. It's a great site and I'm learning to navigate it, but given the particulars what would you suggest I do? Especially in Tri-State area?
Thanks all very much

Poverty-fighting 'elephant' boosts farmers in India
(Read article summary)Hardy 'elephant' or Napier grass has proved to be a cheap and nutritious fodder for livestock in poor and drought-prone areas of India.
Stella Paul/Thomson Feuters Foundation
Hyderabad, India
"The elephant saved my life," says Arutla Narsimha. The 30-year-old, who lives in Chirimiyal village in southern India's Andhra Pradesh state, has never seen a real elephant. But for Narsimha, "elephant" refers not to an animal but to long-stalked Miscanthus grass.
The grass has proven a cheap and nutritious fodder for Narsimha's cattle, dramatically boosting milk production and helping him and other farmers in drought-prone areas of India fight poverty.
But while the advantages of the crop, also known as Napier grass, seem clear, some agricultural experts warn farmers against becoming too dependent on a single, thirsty crop while neglecting to grow food that they can eat themselves.
Persistent poor rainfall in Nalgonda district, where Narsimha lives, had forced him to sell off his cattle, pawn his land, and leave home each summer to work as an itinerant well-digger.
But that changed six years ago, when he first noticed Napier grass while working in a coastal village.
"It was green even in the peak of summer," recalls Narsimha. "People there said it was very healthy for cattle. So I brought home a few stalks and planted them here in my land. I have never needed to migrate [for work] since then."
Narsimha grows Napier grass on a quarter of an acre (0.1 hectares) of land, and feeds it to his six buffalos and two bulls. Each day, the buffalos produce 30 liters (8 gallons) of milk that Narsimha sells at 40 rupees (about $0.70) a liter.
Karinga Maraiya, also of Chirimiyal, started growing the plant in 2005, and credits the use of the fodder with doubling his income from his buffalos' milk production.

You were on the talcum
from Outkast – A Life In The Day Of Benjamin Andre (Incomplete) Lyrics on Genius
"You were on the talcum, powder.." — actually means "you were on my balls" — talcum powder often placed on male genitalia to prevent sweating. The woman he is referencing was, basically, sweating him and on his balls.
It could also mean that the woman had a coke habit
