Ian Kinsler hit his first home run against the Tigers.
The second baseman has hit 155 since that April night in 2006 when, as a rookie, he took Tigers left-hander Nate Robertson deep to leftfield at the Ballpark in Arlington.
Kinsler�s next home run will come in a Tigers uniform.
The Tigers acquired Kinsler on Wednesday night from the Texas Rangers for first baseman Prince Fielder and $30 million.
Kinsler, 31, is a three-time All-Star and will be the Tigers� starting second baseman.
�Ian is an All-Star-caliber talent who provides our lineup with a top-of-the-order bat and has been a solid defensive performer at second base,� Tigers president and general manager Dave Dombrowski said in a release.
Kinsler comes to Detroit as one of 12 players in major league history with multiple seasons of 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases.
Despite battling injuries throughout his eight-year career, Kinsler has solidified himself as one of the best second basemen in the majors, one that not only fills a Tigers� need with 2013 starter Omar Infante a free agent, but one that adds a dimension of speed to a slow-footed lineup.
But if it wasn�t for another All-Star second baseman, Kinsler might not be where he is today.
After playing a season at Central Arizona � he hails from Tucson � Kinsler transferred to Arizona State, where he spent much of his sophomore season backing up current Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia.
Yearning for a starting role, Kinsler migrated east to Missouri and starred for the Tigers before being drafted by the Rangers in the 17th round of the 2003 amateur draft.
He rose through the Rangers� organization quickly, ranking among the top prospects in their organization for two years, and made his big league debut on Opening Day 2006 as the starting second baseman after Alfonso Soriano was traded in the off-season.
Kinsler is a lifetime .273 hitter, most recently hitting .277 with 13 home runs and 72 RBIs while hitting primarily in the leadoff spot in 2013. He will give the Tigers� another potent bat against left-handers.
Kinsler is a career .309 hitter against left-handers, .260 against righties.
And the first sign of that success came the first time Tigers� fans saw him.
They will see much more of him in the near future.

Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Cooking can be one of life's essential pleasures, even when you have to put dinner on the table every night. Now, with Mark Bittman's trusted voice as your guide, quick, easy, and fresh meals are always a realistic option.
Presented here are 404 dishes — 101 for each season — that will get you in and out of the kitchen in 20 minutes or less. Mark Bittman's recipe sketches provide exactly the directions a home cook needs to prepare a repertoire of eggs, seafood, poultry, meats, vegetables, sandwiches, and even desserts. Add a salad here, a loaf of bread there, and these dishes become full meals that are better than takeout and far less expensive. These 404 recipes are as delicious and sophisticated as they are simple: Make the most of summer produce with Scallop and Peach Ceviche or Apricot Cream Upside-Down Pie. When the air starts to cool, try Salmon and Sweet Potato with Coconut Curry Sauce or Broiled Brussels Sprouts with Hazelnuts. On a cold winter night, warm up with White Bean Stew served over crusty slices of olive oil-brushed baguette. Or welcome spring with Shrimp with Asparagus, Dill, and Spice or Poached Eggs and Truffled Arugula Prosciutto Salad. Because good ingredients are the backbone of delicious home cooking, Bittman includes a guide to the foods you'll want on hand to cook the Kitchen Express way, as well as suggestions for seasonal menus and lists of recipes for specific uses, like brown-bag lunches or the best dishes for reheating.

Hey, im in the process of writeing a script to make an upload site such as megaupload and rapidshare. I know there are lots but one more wont hurt :P
I am not completely new to PHP but im no expert at all, I just wanted some pointers on how you all though rapidshare went on doing there script.
Its weird because even though you get a link such as:
it would take you too a html page and after waiting to view the ads your download link would be:
How do they do this? because if you check later on that link will not be valid and will take you back to the HTML page if entered because it has expired.
You never see the real location of the file and this is what I want to start of creating. Do they, once requested, copy the file from its original location to a tempary location for us to download, then once finished delete the temp file? wouldnt this be too too cpu consistant?
thanks for any comments that you can give.

Banner Corporation's Net Income Totals $11.6 Million, Or $0.60 Per Diluted Share, In First Quarter; Net Income Highlighted By Strong Revenue Generation And Further Improved Credit Quality
At March 31, 2013, Banner's non-performing assets were 1.06% of total assets, compared to 2.24% a year ago and 1.18% at December 31, 2012. Non-performing assets decreased 52% to $44.9 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $93.1 million a year ago and decreased 11% compared to $50.2 million at December 31, 2012.
Balance Sheet Review
"Total loans outstanding increased modestly during the quarter, despite an expected seasonal reduction in agricultural loans and additional refinance driven payoffs in residential loans, as our bankers' calling efforts continued to produce reasonable results," said Grescovich. "Nonetheless, credit line utilizations remained low, and we expect a continued challenging environment going forward as businesses and consumers maintain their cautious approach to spending and borrowing. However, we are encouraged by the potential in our loan origination pipelines and are optimistic about capturing more market share." Net loans were $3.16 billion at March 31, 2013, nearly unchanged from three months earlier. Net loans were $3.15 billion a year ago. Commercial real estate and multifamily real estate loans increased 2% to $1.23 billion at March 31, 2013 compared to $1.21 billion at both December 31 and March 31, 2012. Commercial and agricultural business loans were $829.7 million at March 31, 2013, a decrease from $848.0 million three months earlier but an increase of 4% compared to $798.5 million a year ago. Total construction and development loans increased 9% during the quarter to $331.7 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $304.6 million at December 31, 2012, and increased 7% compared to $311.0 million a year earlier.
The aggregate total of securities and interest-bearing deposits declined to $729.2 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $745.5 million at December 31, 2012, but increased from $685.2 million at March 31, 2012. The change in the mix of interest-bearing deposits and securities holdings compared to a year ago reflects both an increase in our overall securities holdings and a modest extension of the expected duration of our securities holdings designed to increase the yield relative to interest-bearing deposits. The securities purchased in recent periods were primarily short- to intermediate-term U.S. Government Agency notes and mortgage-backed securities and, to a lesser extent, intermediate-term taxable and tax-exempt municipal securities. The average duration of Banner's securities portfolio was approximately 4.6 years at March 31, 2013.

4.5 better then 08 gameing4life | 01/05/2011 | See all gameing4life's reviews (104) i got this game cheap so was not expecting much from the game but was wrong this is a big improvement from fifa 08 i did enjoy this game fun to play over all a good game great playing with m8s on a night in even player control of the game is really easy to get the hang of.
4.5 A great achievement. LiamBond | 29/12/2010 | See all LiamBond's reviews (41) Still one of the better fifa games out there, despite the 3 sequals. Really fun to play, and pretty decent game mechanics. You can't complain at 2.99.BE WARNED: You can no longer achieve the platinum trophy due to the interactive leagues being shut down. This, for me, is why it only gets 3 stars now.
4.5 They dumped us lol Jonny20 | 14/11/2010 | See all Jonny20's reviews (3) I remember buying this game, running home & getting ready for the biggest match on the planet, at the Wembely stadium England Vs Wales..... Huh..wtf!!! & no wonder it was like 2.50. Good game to pass time, bt lucky suppose i gt 08 haha

Definition of MelioidosisMelioidosis: An infectious illness, also called Whitmore's disease, that is most frequent in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia and is caused by a bacteria called Burkholderia pseudomallei found in soil, rice paddies and stagnant waters. Humans catch the disease by inhalation of contaminated dust or when soil contaminated by the bacteria comes in contact with abraded (scraped) skin. Melioidosis most commonly involves the lungs where the infection can form a cavity of pus (abscess). The bacteria can also spread from the skin through the bloodstream the brain, eyes, heart, liver, kidneys, and joints. The common symptoms of melioidosis are not specific. They include headaches, fever, chills, cough, chest pain, and loss of appetite. Melioidosis can also cause encephalitis (brain inflammation) with seizures (convulsions). The diagnosis is by a microscopic evaluation of a sputum (spit) sample in the laboratory. A blood test may detect early acute cases of melioidosis. The treatment of melioidosis involves antibiotics and depends on the location of the disease:
Melioidosis can remain latent (in hiding) for years and emerge when a person's resistance is low. The alternative name for melioidosis is, as mentioned, Whitmore's disease. This is in honor of Major Alfred Whitmore (1876-1946), an English surgeon in India.

.- The president of the Christian Liberation Movement, Oswaldo Paya, called on Spaniards this week not to be indifferent to the violations of human rights committed by the Cuban government, because "being on the right, in the center or on the left" is not a license "to support a system without rights like that of Cuba."
In a conference call, Paya said everybody in Spain knows about the violations of human rights carried out by the Cuban Communist regime. "It is a scandal that some justify, support and even enjoy. Others increase their support and over-calculate the risks and the benefits, with little generosity," he stated.
Paya recalled that in Cuba, "There are dozens of people in prison solely for peacefully defending the rights of Cubans, solely for promoting the Varela Project which calls for rights for everyone."
He pointed out that as long as these people are kept in prison, "all Cubans are under threat, and the message being sent to the world is that in order to have full relations with the Cuban state, it must be accepted as normal that Cubans are marginalized in their own country and that they are citizens, or rather servants, without rights."
Therefore Paya exhorted the citizens "of Spain and of all of Europe" to decide "if they are on the side of oppression or of freedom. There is no in-between."

Established in 1990, The Institute of Art, Music and Science is committed to excellence in educating today's youth. Active top class instructors work together with 150 students (from LA and OC) on various programs in Art, Music, Science and engage students in further developing their intellectual and artistic talents.
At Los Alamitos Academy of Music, Arts, and Languages, students study under the tutelage of instructors who have met the teaching guidelines of the Music Teachers National Association, the National Association for Music Education, and the National Guild of Piano Teachers. Because of their extensive training and experience, instructors ably guide their apprentices toward comprehension and fluency in piano, violin, guitar, and voice. They also are steeped in academic knowledge, tutoring youth in math, science, and foreign languages.
From 18 studios scattered around Los Angeles, Lori Moran Music Studios' armada of instructors offers all-ages voice, piano, guitar, violin, and composition classes. With teachers who have worked on films such as Dreamgirls and Dance Flick, world-touring operatic productions, and Grammy-nominated choral CDs, the school can cater to virtually every musical taste—from classical to jazz to pop. Students choose the emphasis of their lessons, whether they want to work on their public performance skills, write their own songs, sight-read scores, or simply be able to play musical chairs during a power outage. Many will also get the chance to show off in recitals, concerts, and showcases.
Since 1947, Delian Music has weathered the changing landscape of the music world—a spectator to the heyday of the synthesizer and the rise of music megastores. The neighborhood shop has seen almost as many shakeups as the industry as a whole, beginning with the Blankenship family's impromptu purchase of the shop in 1967 and continuing through moves, competition, and the wrath of landlords. However, having endured all the trials that more than 65 years can bring, Delian Music still thrives as an intimate music shop. Instruments of all styles and makes line the walls and cater to beginner musicians. Practice rooms reverberate with the sounds of experienced musicians administering private lessons. In addition, a library of sheet music allows artists to learn their favorite songs or coat their floors with something they can finally empty their spit valves onto.
At Hollywood Academy of Music, youthful exuberance mingles with experienced instruction by university-trained teachers during private and group lessons, camps, and clinics. Individual lessons in more than a dozen instruments teach students to strum a guitar's strings, tickle a piano's keys, or pur?e beats with a kitchen blender. In group classes such as the School of Rock Band 101, teachers help groups of kids or adults grasp band basics, and in the Recording Artist program students learn to create and release their own self-produced CD on software they can use at home. Hollywood Academy of Music also helps students and the general public to hone their tune tutelage at free monthly clinics that range from songwriting to wailing the ran-out-of-matching-socks blues on a guitar.
Sessions take place in air-conditioned studios equipped with observation windows and high-quality pianos, guitar amps, and drums. Instructors also work with aspiring entertainers to help them put together a vocal repertoire, with some students advancing to compete on shows such as American Idol and The Voice.

Handling dryness: Jojoba and/or AHA
Regimen advice: Take the quiz
Red spots: Hyperpigmentation page
Posts Categorized: Over-the-counter
I spent a lot of time working with the best formulators in the U.S.A. and together we made the best salicylic acid I've ever tried, but I'm coming to realize that there is only so much you can do with salicylic acid. I just don't think it's that great of an acne fighting ingredient, no matter how much you bump it up with auxiliary ingredients. In the end, I prefer AHA.
Chemical exfoliants like retinoids (Retin-A, tazorac, etc.), alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic acid, lactic acid), and salicylic acid, can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Be extra aware of sun protection if you are using any of these products.
Hey you guys. I've been swamped around here and haven't had a half hour free to do a video. I miss it. I'll try to get back to it on Monday.
I wanted to mention that few people have mentioned that their jojoba oil has arrived with cloudiness or particulates in it. This is normal and to be expected when jojoba oil gets very cold or freezes. The oil is still good and will work just the same, so no worries.
Also, Brandy sent me an interesting video regarding doxycycline, an antibiotic given for acne. Evidently it can get stuck in the esophagus and cause ulcers. Just something to potentially be aware of.
Have a great weekend everybody!
I was feeling a little spaztic the day I filmed these videos–too much coffee I think–but they should suffice to show you how I use AHA. I feel like my elevated energy level may have made the spot treatment video seem a little sales-y, so please forgive me for that. But I really am just so in love with the AHA that our formulators made for us. For me, it works better than any AHA I've tried. However, the Acne.org AHA+ or the Alpha Hydrox Enhanced Lotion work for me in the ways I show in the video. If I couldn't get my hands on the AHA+, the Alpha Hydrox would be my back up.
The salicylic acid that many of you asked for is now available. I will not be putting this product on the main page of danielkern.com. It will only be available through this link.
I'm keeping the salicylic acid somewhat of a secret because I made a very limited amount of it. I want you guys to give me feedback before deciding whether to make this a staple product. If you do decide to order it I'm asking for you to commit to taking a one page survey on it so we can all decide what we like about it and what needs changing and whether to make it in larger batches for the general public.
More about it:
It is a light feeling, moisturizing cream which has 2% salicylic acid. This is the legal limit. 1 1/2% of that 2% is good 'ol regular sal acid, and 1/2% is time released. After speaking with several master formulators we decided on 1/2% time released so that we get an initial boost of sal acid and some extra lingering and being released slowly. Salicylic acid, as we know, helps peel inside the pore, keeping pores from clogging and initiating acne. I also put a ton of other stuff in this product. I included lichochalcone, a Chinese licorice root extract which is potently calming and soothing to acne-prone skin. This is the same stuff that's in our AHA+. I also put sebum reducers to help control oil. Lastly, I put natural antimicrobials in there. My theory with this product is to attack acne from every possible angle, using all of the very latest performance ingredients on the market.
The cream absorbs quickly into the skin. It is a kind of tan/yellow color due to the licochalcone. It has a characteristic odor due to the combination of natural ingredients. This scent be a little strong when applying it, but it goes away completely in a matter of a minute or two.
My bottom line on it:
You guys know I am always completely honest. Well, here goes some more honesty…salicylic acid is not benzoyl peroxide, no matter what other performance ingredients you put in there. Benzoyl peroxide is our workhorse. It's what will clear up acne completely when used within The Acne.org Regimen. However, I do think this salicylic acid is the best ever made if I do say so myself. It's time released and is jam packed with other stuff that I think will really help. It's absolutely everything I can possibly throw together to bump up salicylic acid's effectiveness. I tried it myself for about six weeks. I used it in the morning and benzoyl peroxide at night, which was great because I could wear colored clothing during the day without worrying about bleaching anything. This regimen of sal acid in the morning and benzoyl peroxide at night kept me clear for the first four weeks or so, but then I started breaking out just a bit here and there. I prefer 100% perfect skin, so I went back to the full Acne.org Regimen with benzoyl peroxide twice a day.
Currently I keep some of this salicylic acid around and use it as a nighttime moisturizer when I'm in the mood. Because this salicylic acid is so soothing, I can use it with my benzoyl peroxide no problem.
My bottom, bottom line is really to wait until you guys give me feedback on it so we can all decide together how good this stuff is. At that point I'll decide whether to keep making it.
Salicylic Acid: I'm plodding along with this. Our manufacturer is back from vacation mid-month, so I hope to have something out in the month or two following.
SPF15 Moisturizer: I found a great formula, which is saying a lot. I've tried well over 50 samples–I'm pretty sure it's actually over 60 but I lost count. At any rate, I am loving the latest formula and am just swapping out preservatives right now to get it nice and stable. Once it's nailed down it takes a few months in FDA required stability tests, after which point I can fill.

Cops shoot armed attacker
Comment on this storyBonteheuwel, Cape Town -
A man was shot dead by police after he wounded a police officer who wanted to search him in Bonteheuwel, Cape Town, on Wednesday morning, the IPID said.
Two constables were patrolling the Bishop Lavis area when they spotted a man walking in the streets, said Independent Police Investigative Directorate spokesman Moses Dlamini.
"The man allegedly drew a firearm with which he shot one of the constables who were trying to search him in the neck," said Dlamini.
The other constable allegedly retaliated by shooting the man in the right shoulder and nose. Paramedics declared the man dead at the scene.
A 9mm Beretta with its serial number filed-off and 15 live rounds were found in the man's possesion.
The wounded constable was taken to the Tygerberg hospital. Dlamini could not immediately provide details of the constable's condition.
No arrests were made. The IPID was investigating a case of murder. - Sapa

The Catholic church says that homosexual sex is a sin. That is succinct enough, but doubtful you will persuade your friends.
I prefer to debate the issue logically. Ask them if homosexual marriage is okay-ed then what next? Where do THEY draw the line? Are the going to accept polygamy? Are they going to accept incest? Where do they draw the line? Justice Sotomayor even asked that question and she isn't any where near conservative.
Lost in the past, Clinton nominated a homosexual group as a civil rights organization to the UN, which gleefully accepted it. Not long after the group's admittance they nominated NAMBLA (North American Man Boy Love Association) a pedophile group, and the UN accepted them too. Where ever homosexuals go, pedophiles follow. It is as night and day.
Those pushing for homosexual marriage are nihilistic. They believe that everyone has a right to do anything they want. Dissolution is not freedome. No one is ever totally free. Who would want to be?
They place themselves above all reason. Society has rights too. Society has the right and the power to limit actions it deems harmful. We don't allow prostitution. We used to not allow gambling. We don't allow public drunkenness or drunk driving.
At the very center of civilization is the neuclear family. Civilization could not have suvived without it. Homosexual marriage violates the laws of nature and of nature's God. Ultimately it will destroy civilization and ruin our country. This is after, what they really want.
Actually, it's only when we talk about Greek as used by philosophers and theologians that that has any ring of truth to it. There is nothing about Greek that makes it magically precise. ἀγαπή (agape) is used to refer to sexuality, and even illicit sexuality in certain circumstances. φίλη (phile) is also used in such ways. The verb form φιλέω, for instance, is used of Asmodeus' sexual obsession with Sarah in Tobit. Agape is used in Canticles and also in Jeremiah 2:2 in reference to the love of a bride for her groom.
So, really, it's that people who wanted to specify arbitrarily restricted certain words, but in general use, this was not the case. Even in the Bible. Usually, in the NT, though, agape is referring to the special kind of love, but it's special because it's God's love, not because of the Greek word used.
But what dialect of Greek do you refer to? The Greek used by scholars of classical Greek such as Attic or Doric doesn't always correspond with the meaning of the Koine dialect that the Bible is written in.
Think the meaning of "gay" in 1940 vs. today to see my point.
A lot of pro-homosexual apologists make the mistake of trying to apply definitions that were common in Athens of the 4th century and apply it to the Koine of the 1st century.
I did some private studies a few years back into the issue by examining John Boswell's theses and comparing them with the LSJ and Koine.
Even comparing the Greek of the Septuagint with that of the New Testament can be difficult because the latter was written 300 years later. Languages evolve.
To add a different, and for all of us a more important, view on acts of homosexuality we have to go to the Supernatural,God theCreator and the Preternatural, Created spirits realm around the period of the Rebellion against God. Many propose that the fact God had revealed His intent to create Man and Woman in His image. Not only that, but He also intended them to be actively involved in the creation of further human beings and without their co-operation no persons could or would be created. There had to be human, Male and Female consent and co-operation via the free will. After the fall of Man sin entered the equation and Satan went to work on this gift of co-operation in creation that God had given as gift to Humanity in their representation as Male and Female. No other combination will result in a new life created in the image of God. In the sexual act between same sexes Satan mocks God for entrusting this procreative act to Humanity and at the same time he degrades both the male and female and reduces them to animal perverted lust. We being a combination of Flesh and Spirit opens an avenue for Satan to corrupt a Sacramental action into a blasphemous perverted parody of God's creative gift to Man and Woman. This age we are in, is the era of Satans greatest activity and the abuse of a gift solely meant for procreation, and this includes abortion, is Satans way of throwing this gift back in God's face using the very species that God created to assist Him in furthering the numbers of persons to participate in Eternal bliss in union with the Most Blessed Trinity forever.
For those that deny the existence of God as Creator all things are allowable, even things personally repugnant. "If that's what makes them happy!" "Who am I to control their lives, after all it is love we are talking about." " People must be tolerant of difference and not impose their belief system on others!" and the chants go on. The "it's my body" brigade in the militant womens movment used to idolise Dr Bernard Nathanson. It was he and a select group of other doctors that came up with that catch phrase and let it loose, with a few others, within the womens movements. The other game plan they came up with was all references to the child in the womb were to be depersonalized. No references that would empower the status of a human life was ever to be used if they were to have profitable practices. Before Dr Nathanson died he spent considerable time exposing what he had done, in true remorse. One day he performed an abortion and at the end, when they account for all the pieces of the fetus, he was overwhelmed by the fact of this childs humanity and that was the day he walked out of the clinic and crossed to Pro Life. Prayer broke down a stoney heart that shared no belief in God and turned it to a contrite and loving response to God's gift of life. Our Rosaries are the most powerful weapon against evil and the one that heads it, Saten. I remember an old priest being hauled of to jail for sitting on the other side of the road of an abortion mill without any signs of protest. The mere fact he was praying the Rosary and not even facing the clinic, this enraged them. Satan reacting whilst indewelling these people in the death clinics. I have just remembered his name, the priest. Father Groeschel a finer man or priest of God would be difficult to find IMHO. I pride myself on my humility! :rosary: :rosary:
I thought it was pretty comprehensive.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I probably should not have tried to cure flippancy with sarcasm, as my last confession was woefully on point.
In all seriousness, the argument comes down to a fundamental philosophical difference -- what is the purpose of sex (meaning gender, not the act)? To Catholics, sex is a fundamental aspect of the human. A person IS a man/woman who happens to have blonde hair and blue eyes. The opposing view is that sex is a trait of a human. A person is a human who happens to have blonde hair, blue eyes, and male/female sexual anatomy. So for Catholics, marriage is the union of these two different bodily forms. It is disordered and not marriage if you are trying to unite the wrong forms. (Ever try to assemble Legos or pipes male/male? It just doesn't work because the parts are MADE to fit together in a certain way.) I say to go ahead and give them substantive due process under the law, but that ALL legal unions should be classified as civil unions as our government should not be in the business of regulating sacraments. Although I guess you can call a civil union between same-sex persons "marriage" if you want, but it can never be. Sometimes I call my dog my baby, but I am not quite mentally-disturbed enough to think that I actually gave birth to him.
But what dialect of Greek do you refer to? The Greek used by scholars of classical Greek such as Attic or Doric doesn't always correspond with the meaning of the Koine dialect that the Bible is written in.
Think the meaning of "gay" in 1940 vs. today to see my point.

Even comparing the Greek of the Septuagint with that of the New Testament can be difficult because the latter was written 300 years later. Languages evolve.
This is getting a bit off-topic, friend. My specialty is NT Greek, but I'm familiar with the LXX as well. Languages DO evolve, yes, but they also have some basic rules to them. What people expect of languages, even their native one, is a different story altogether. One of which is that people often have the mistaken notion that if there are separate words for something, that they are all completely distinct. An example is "te amo" and "te quiero" in Spanish. Here is a video in which the singer says that he is getting-down-on-my-knees, laying-my-life-at-your-feet in love and says "te quiero" for "I love you". During an intermission, this native speaker explains to us that "te amo" is what you say for erotic love, and "te quiero" is what you'd say to a friend. *Despite the fact that the song blatantly contradicts this*. Even native speakers make arbitrary distinctions because people do not realize that words have semantic domains, which include some element of overlap between words which allows partial interchangeability.
As I said: there's nothing about agape as a word that makes it magically mean only the Christian sense of the term, although by NT times it was seldom used in everyday speech. The LXX still is worth consulting on the matter, though it was translated from 250 BC to 50 BC. I think you have your times mixed up there, friend. It isn't that big of a time gap, and even if it was, it's the religious text of a community, which means it has some level of friction against the change of time.
Have a blessed Easter, everyone.
AMEN! And again I say AMEN!
Through Obama Care they are forcing us to accept abortion.
I don't think a rich, coherent view of sexuality can be reduced to 140 characters or less, unfortunately, and it seems we're up against slogans such as "love has no gender".
Until people learn critical thinking, which will happen on the 11th of Never, I think we just have to try our best to get people to listen for longer. Summarizing won't work on this since we're trying to explain to people who just have a wrong worldview so many steps before the question of sexuality itself.
But perhaps I'm just being pessimistic. Lord, have mercy.
This is mostly true, sadly. People in our secular society,are very intractable in their views. They no longer have the ability to do any logical thinking. that puts them very susceptible to ideas with half-truths, and ultimately, to any wacky idea that comes along. G.K.Chesterton said "it's not that they believe nothing, it's that they'll believe anything." (emphasis mine). Chesterton is a good resource - he is known as The Apostle Of Common Sense.
There is a really good video series on him by this name by Dale Ahlquist.

Light streams into Smith's kitchen remodel. The room incorporates eco-friendly cork floors, a cherry butcher block countertop, handcrafted cabinet doors and a touch of stainless steel.
Open shelving provides an approachability to the kitchen area. Smith simply loves her old-made-new plum glass door.
Smith added a stainless steel topped freestanding cabinet to the end of her built-ins to extend her working surface. A chalkboard above keeps messages for the family.
Smith's mid-century modern office chair in burnt orange complements a desk freshened with new paint. Her vintage dogwood blossom tablecloth is repurposed as a curtain to welcome spring.
A "patchwork of treasured pieces," this handmade quilt from Smith's childhood provides a colorful experience for her daughter's bed today.
Here again Smith's vintage fabrics get put to good use for her daughter. Scrabble magnets spell out how she feels about her new creation.
A mission-style frame gets a new life when a vintage floral fabric covers the cushion. Mismatched furnishings with a common fabric color palette make this space feel like home.
Showing Alexandra's talents and serving as the masthead of the blog, her mantle features colorfully canned aloe and a vintage enamel hand-painted tray.
Serving the family's "summer lounge," the music station doesn't have an iPod doc but rather an eclectic mix of mid-century modern, granny chic, and nostalgic pieces — including the family turntable.
Smith calls this "a study in steely blue and naturals," featuring the vintage elements she loves.
Old suitcases serve as storage for the family's trinkets and treasures. Not only are the suitcases good looking, they serve a purpose as well. Smith says, "I like to decorate my home with things that look as though they have a story to tell."
A fleeting moment of spring light coming through the vintage gingham and print curtains creates further inspiration for Smith's next creations.
An inherited typewriter and lamp adorn Alexandra's desk. She adds a touch of life and creativity to spur her on with aloe plants "dressed" in handmade sweaters.
The master bedroom has a warm sunlit look in the morning. Sage green walls and timeworn fabrics give the space a comfortable feel.
A backyard chicken coop gives a moody day a rosy outlook. While the coop houses the family's "lovely lady hens", it also brightens the backyard when painted red. The blogger's green bicycle sits ready for her next designer creation.
As her blog touts, it's "whatever Lola wants."

Corrected version
Cole Porter perfection: 'Anything Goes' at 5th Avenue
The intoxicating, Tony-winning Broadway revival of "Anything Goes" is a romance graced with the deluxe tunes of the great American composer Cole Porter. The touring production is now at the 5th Avenue Theatre.
Seattle Times theater critic
'Anything Goes'
Through Nov. 3, 5th Avenue Theatre, 1308 Fifth Ave., Seattle; $29-$109.75 (888-584-4849 or www.5thavenue.org).
As fizzy and intoxicating as a cocktail of pricey French Champagne, but without the hangover.
That's the classy 2011 Broadway version of the Cole Porter musical "Anything Goes," which has landed at the 5th Avenue like a luxury liner gliding into port.
Any show that opens with "I Get a Kick Out of You," continues with "You're the Top" and ends with a reprise of "It's De-lovely" is rich in diamond-studded tunes.
Add to them the golden touch of Broadway director-choreographer Kathleen Marshall. Glossy production values. Silky and sparkly '30s gowns (thanks to the late designer Martin Pakledinaz). And a robust cast that sings out, taps and dips admirably and knows how to milk laughs from amiable but geriatric quips.
In short, this is a revival Broadway musical fans can get a big kick out of.
"Anything Goes" debuted in 1934 and boosted Depression-weary spirits with its farcical antics and unbeatable score.
Any blue-ribbon "Anything Goes" needs a gal with pizazz to star as brassy, snazzy lead dame Reno Sweeney, a nightclub singer who becomes the master of revels on a ship of ditsy fools bound from New York to London.
Porter's favorite leading lady of the time, Ethel Merman, did the honors in 1934. In the 1980s, Patti LuPone was nominated for a Tony Award in the part, and Sutton Foster was a Tony winner in Marshall's 2011 mounting (which also nabbed a Tony for best musical revival).
Those are big high heels (and lungs) to fill, and Rachel York (a delight at the 5th in Porter's "Kiss Me Kate") does it with stylish moxie to burn. York belts out those tongue-tripping standards, cracks wise and sexy and has fine rapport with Fred Applegate's lovable gangster Moonface Martin; Joyce Chittick as Moonface's ribald pal; and agreeable Josh Franklin as the poor male ingénue smitten with the rich female ingénue (Alex Finke).
First, P.G. Wodehouse and Guy Bolton, then Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, had a hand in writing the silly libretto, which places the stock musical-comedy types in love, in disguise, in cahoots, in flight from the authorities.
The broad gags require your indulgence. But they can be quite amusing, too, as in a riotous tango, "The Gypsy in Me," which reveals the inner sexy beast of a titled British twit (mirthsome Joey Sorge).
However it's Porter's red, hot and blue score (including extra tunes from his other shows), and the all-hands-on-deck, song-and-dance numbers that draw cheers.
Nothing beats the one tap extravaganza, to the title song, with everyone hoofing it up on all three decks of the Deco ship. Another showstopper: the mock gospel "Blow, Gabriel, Blow."
And don't forget to listen to Porter's witty lyrics. (The sound should be this crisp in every 5th Avenue show.)
Porter's paean of praise, "You're the Top," for instance, compares an admired friend to Botticelli, Keats and Shelley; to " a turkey dinner" and "the time of the Derby winner"; and to "the nimble tread of the feet of Fred Astaire" and an "O'Neill drama"; "Whistler's mama" and "Camembert."
Listen up, future lyric writers of America. That is pure genius.

Do you think the tumbled marble back splash should go all the way to the ceiling and down to the floor on this wall? I think it would look better that way, what do you think, have you seen a kitchen with that much tile before? Also when we first moved here I painted the kitchen coral but now I am thinking of painting the walls a gray color. Do you have any recommendations on colors for the walls? Cabinets are an off white and appliances are stainless steel. Thanks so much for your advice. |

Behr Peanut Butter. It has the warm orangeish tones, but is much browner. Or SW Iviore if you want something lighter. It really goes with the warm tones that you have. Grey does not. Unless you want your travertine to read as pink. Because that is what gray will do to it. |

Hi live wire oak, the back splash is gray and white but my lighting in the kitchen makes everythng look more warm or yellow tone for some reason (fluorescent). I really don't like an orangeish tone at all, the laminate counter has no orange in it but beige, black and gray. here's another photo of the back splash and counter. |
- Posted by springvillegardens (My Page) on Sun, Feb 10, 13 at 11:54
please disregard this post, I am posting another post for the paint color because I forgot to show the back splash with the sealer on it which makes it a different color, thanks. |

St. James strikes early, holds off Basehor-Linwood in tourney semifinals
May 1, 2010
Basehor-Linwood gave St. James Academy all it could handle during their semifinal matchup in the Butch Foster Memorial Baseball Classic, but in the end the defending tournament champion Thunder prevailed, 4-1.
St. James did all of its damage during the first three innings Friday night at CommunityAmerica Ballpark.
Adam Burns reached base on an error in the first inning and came around to score, giving the Thunder a 1-0 lead.
Nick Deichler hit a one-out single in the second inning, took second and third on passed balls and then scored on a base hit by Chase Jackson.
Austin Murrell and Burns both scored in the third inning and extended St. James' lead to 4-0.
That proved to be plenty of support for Burns, the Thunder's starting pitcher. He allowed a home run to Ryan Lawless in the fourth inning, but nothing else. He struck out four and allowed just eight base runners the entire game.
BLHS will play Holton at 5 p.m. Saturday in the third-place game. St. James will meet Spring Hill in the tournament title game for the third straight season. First pitch is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Spring Hill won the tournament in 2008 and St. James claimed the 2009 championship.

Bashar al-Assad can have no part in a transitional government to end the civil war in Syria."
That was the clear message from UN and Arab League peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, days after the Syrian president's defiant speech.
It is the closest Brahimi has come to calling for Assad to step down while stressing that the Geneva peace plan agreed by major powers remains the only basis for any solution.
As the thousands of refugees who have fled the war-torn country wait for an end to the violence, their struggles continue with the onset of Winter.
In Lebanon, an estimated 190,000 have sought refuge but the divided government there has not set up formal camps nor organised aid which leaves families having to improvise.
The extreme weather has raised concern for them and for those left behind.

Always interested in how to advance the medium of colored pencils in this digital world of today. Here are some categories of where I think colored pencils still hold strong in regards to that specific subject matter and have a future in it.
Animal art-
Very strong, it is something people want and something people buy constantly. Have not seen many if any digital artist doing pet portraits. So the market is strong and some people are so talented at making pet portraits with colored pencils it is insane. So in the future pet portraits will always be one of, if not the strongest point in colored pencil art in terms of selling. I believe thisl because of the ability to draw fur so well with them.
Old School Comic or pinup art-
Very nice little niche, one can accomplish and older look and a more traditional look smooth digital art cannot usually. Not sure of the market but regardless, it is making something others cannot easily with other mediums which helps. Like the old style of drawing some have and it shows the pencil marks in the work. Comes off now a days as rustic and aged which is a plus.
Custom Portrait-
Will never go away, people will always want a custom portrait of a loved one. And it brings something other mediums cannot, a single copy, made and given and there it is. I doubt many would want a digital portrait of themselves or their child but they do want one done the traditional way from time to time. And if you can draw you will be asked to do these, as awful as some of them might be. Usually a drawing costs less than an oil painting in terms of time and materials which is a plus as well.
Celebrity Portrait-
Always going to be popular and people will always make them. Not sure how many actually sell well. They are great to personally have but doubt many actually buy them, still fun to make and practice that is for sure and with the endless supply of images they will never stop. Plus easy way to get views if the person is popular enough and it is well done enough. A digital portrait done well of a celebrity just does not bring the same things a traditional one does.
((((Where traditional colored pencil art will have a hard time playing catchup))))
Comics, cartoons and Illustrations-
Not sure one can achieve what others can digitally, they can change, improve, correct, distort and color better than any traditional medium I feel. Be in cartoons, anime, erotica, anything they have it digitally and it is hard to compete against it. Some of the artwork out there looks so realistic, it would be hard for anything to stack up against it. So in terms of this genre it is hard sledding I feel and will be dominated digitally throughout. How much faster it is and how much more creative one can be digitally, creating almost anything and being able to correct to the point of perfection and many have.
High Fashion art-
Will be very popular I feel and the traditional aspect to it helps. Sadly water color art and acrylic painting is kind of taken this over along with the dreaded water colored pencil or what I like to call paint. Making such beautiful work that is very hard to go up against that are so whimsical, technical yet loose and free flowing. Just seems to flow and that visual blending really makes it pleasing to look at when there are slight elements of portrait drawing included. Hard blend and smooth things with just colored pencils but at least the traditional painters got a nitch along with landscape in this.
Not saying any of this is be all and end all stuff, just my observations. Sure one can break into any of these subject categories and succeed. Just my two cents on what I have seen around the net regarding these things.
Kind of a small box that is being put on colored pencils, but there are limitations to the medium and it is hard to find new different ways to break out and make them more wanted, recognizable and free flowing. Here some of many really outstanding colored pencil works I have found that broke the mold and did something very hard to do and accomplished a much different look with them.
So what are you thoughts on this matter?

What's to be got by transferring Chaucer's tales from page to the stage? A multifaceted encounter with a bawdy, mystical, hilarious world 600 years old and fresh as a morning in May, that's what. On a seemingly infinitely manipulable wooden set (Lis Evans's design, Lee Threadgold's puppeteering), horses prance, conjured from sacks and pitchforks; a child toddles, fashioned from folded cloth; a windmill turns its ladder sails (while, inside, a windy miller trumps his bedclothes airborne). Characters (and with 16 actors playing multiple roles, they are legion) spring to life in glorious caricature, luminous with humanity. Director-composer Conrad Nelson deploys strings, brass and percussion, played by the mercurial cast, to modulate the lightening-flash transitions of subject and mood, while Mike Poulton's updated text remains as invigorating as a high wind over the downs in spring.
