Results 1-2 of 2
"excellent system hardware info app"
Version: CPU-Z (64-bit) 1.60.1
works fast; identifies hardware type and manufacturer; gives specifics about memory type/speed; overall very useful for hardware identification as well as over-clocking specifics.
The application does was it was designed to do in an easy to see format. I can not find any issues with its use.
"CNET uploaded bad file, CPU-Z 64bit is A+++++ software."
Version: CPU-Z (64-bit) 1.60.1
Saves a lot of time looking up system specifications.
See real-time information.
Detailed info but not overwhelmingly so.
Well organized with tabs.
CNET's bad upload is confirmed VIRUS FREE with updated database versions of Malwarebytes-AntiMalware & Microsoft Security Essentials.Cons
Information on memory is split into TWO tabs:
"Memory" and "SPD"...important information is located in SPD tab, which novice users may overlook when seeking memory specifications.
(i.e. exactly what type of memory the system runs - such as DDR2 667 MHz PC2-5300)
note: CPU-Z reads the actual clock, which in previous example is 333 MHz. Since RAM is dual data rate aka DDR, effective bandwidth is doubled, thus 667 MHz.Summary
Just download the program from http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z/versions-history.html

I purchased a 2 gal galvanized waterer for my hens & I'm going to hang it. I'm wondering if there's a guideline as to how far from the ground I should hang it so they are able to drink comfortably. Obviously they need to be able to reach it but would that be perhaps 12" off the ground or ??
Trying to keep the water more clean altho' I have this suspicion that w/ poultry & a dirt floor coop that the water will still get a little dusty. :) Thank you for your thoughts.... |
Follow-Up Postings:
I keep my feeder about six to eight inches. When the new chicks start growing, there's no reason to make them have to reach for it. My waterer, I always just set on a low stand of a couple bricks in summer, or the electric de-icer stand in winter. I do not suspend it. You're right, it gets dusty anyway and when I feed, if there is still water in it, I just tip it and let the clear water in the reservoir rinse out any chaff. |
Thank you calliope - I appreciate your post. I just set the waterer on the ground for them now too. |
- Posted by citytransplant z5 Ecentral Il (My Page) on Sun, May 30, 10 at 18:42
I planned on hanging our waterer, so they would not sit on top and poop down into the water. Is there a reason for not hanging it? I know in the winter we will have to have it down on the de-icer. Our floor is not dirt, it is wood with a linoleum finish. I wouild not want to tip water onto that. Oh boy! Are we not doing this right? |
I have a chicken coop what came with the farm, and it's rather large, and has concrete floors. Water isn't an issue with me. None of mine have ever sat on a waterer, but that could be an issue I imagine. No, you're not doing it wrong. What works is the right way to do it, and it might not be the same for any two situations. The whole issue is to keep the water filled, and fresh and that's what matters. |

Sharon and Norm Munsey founded Centerstage! Theatre in 1977 to help bring popular shows to their region. Decades later, their artistic ensemble keeps that mission in mind while staging a repertoire of new works. Family-friendly shows such as Shipwrecked!, heart-warming pieces including For All That, and tinsel-coated traditional English Christmas pantomimes take the boards at the intimate Knutzen Family Theater. That focus on feel-good entertainment has won Centerstage audiences and acclaim?several shows have proven popular enough to be transported to bigger venues such as Seattle's ACT Theatre and Tacoma's Broadway Center, and revues have been granted awards that include Best Actress, Best Director, and two acceptances of Best New Play.
Featured in the Kent Reporter, Renaissance Yarns gives knitting newbies the chance to stitch their own scarf or world's largest sock. In the Knitting 101 workshop, yarn spinners mingle with fellow dexterous divas while learning to fashion a scarf from scratch. Give fingers a break from manipulative touchscreens as Renaissance Yarns' friendly instructors teach how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off. Throughout, various stitch combinations are demonstrated for future projects, such as knit hats or woven hotplates.
Inside Children's Bookshop & Teaching Supplies, one can find literature for adolescents and infants just as easily as shelves and tables overflowing with colorful games and toys. Though the full-service bookstore's two retail locations focus on educational materials, such as school and art supplies, they also aim to give kids equipment that inspires fun. The store proffers a rainbow of glitter, crayons, and pastels; colorful picture books accompanied by CDs; and a range of modernized and classic board games such as bingo, dominoes, checkers, and mancala. To facilitate creative learning and instill children with an early understanding of zoning codes, the store carries interlocking-piece construction sets. Store staffers also arrange a wooden railway table and a Calico Critters Play Table.
Thousands of hand-blown ornaments and floats glint from the shelves of Tacoma Glassblowing Studio, which earned recognition as the No. 1 attraction in Tacoma by TripAdvisor, and western Washington's Best Art Gallery by CityVoter. Shoppers browse a polychromatic panoply of 3- to 4-inch glass spheres blown onsite ($15–$25), which can adorn mantelpieces, float in ponds, or serve as attractive lane dividers in the kiddie pool. A husband-and-wife duo runs the studio, and deploys a dedicated six-person staff to help inflate the translucent orbs and assist customers with bauble selection.
Bathed in the intense light of its blazing furnaces, the industrial brick walls and naked concrete floors of the hot shop at Area 253 Glassblowing belie the delicacy and beauty of their creations. Experienced artisans instruct students of all skill levels, manipulating glowing gobs of molten glass on the ends of rods to produce floating balls, bowls, and decorative shards. Pointed blue-tip flame-working torches coax glass into shiny beads and borosilicate into baubles such as pendants and swizzle sticks. The shop also rents out its amenities for visiting artists, including furnaces, torches, and garage space.
Originally used by Japanese fishermen to keep their nets from sinking, glass floats would frequently escape their netting and be found by treasure seekers on the beach. Two such treasure seekers were Bellaballs' co-founders, glass artist Diane Hansen and designer Lesli Jacobs-McHugh, who quickly became fascinated by the strikingly gorgeous glass orbs and began making their own as decorative items. Today, each bellaball is a hand-blown glass orb individually made by local artisans. Available in 77 rich colors, Classic bellas ($40) all come stamped with a fig leaf gilded in sterling silver. Signature bellas ($40), meanwhile, can be customized with nine stamp designs—including a baby pram, a lucky horseshoe, and a pineapple—to commemorate occasions such as a birth, a new job, or successfully swallowing an entire pineapple.

none of that has really anything to do with the reason why some things
don't handle MTC or other sychronization signals well.
MTC and timecode are specified as a signal that should in theory be
delivered as a continuous stream of messages with a fixed interval.
However, it isn't necessary for them to be delivered in this way in
order for the receiver to still sync extremely accurately to them.
all general purpose CPUs process audio in chunks (the chunks might be
big or small but they are still chunks) whose size is totally
unrelated to the nominal interval between the messages that form an
MTC or other timecode stream. if software running on such a cpu
delivers the timecode stream in a way that is driven directly by the
flow of audio through it, then its entirely possible for it do quite
"bursty" transmission of the timecode stream. in one processing chunk
it might emit two timecode messages, in another it might emit none.
receivers that are engineered with the presumption that the signal
will flow with a fixed interval will fail to sync to this signal (or
won't sync very well, depending on precisely how they are
constructed). in contrast, receivers that don't make this presumption
and instead use reasonable engineering practice - a PLL/DLL to sync
between two clocks - will be able to sync to it in the face of almost
any level of burstiness in the signal.
now, in addition, it would certainly be good if the software running
on general purpose CPUs that sends timecode would actually use a
separate thread and attempt to ensure fixed interval messages. this
is, however, significantly more complex than the use of a PLL/DLL in
the receiver, and so its not surprising to find the state of the world
as it is.

Common English Bible (CEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Brothers and sisters, I want you to be sure of the fact that our ancestors were all under the cloud and they all went through the sea. | 1 For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. |
2 All were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. | 2 They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. |
3 All ate the same spiritual food, | 3 They all ate the same spiritual food |
4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. They drank from a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ. | 4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. |
5 However, God was unhappy with most of them, and they were struck down in the wilderness. | 5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered over the desert. |
6 These things were examples for us, so we won't crave evil things like they did. | 6 Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. |
7 Don't worship false gods like some of them did, as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink and they got up to play. | 7 Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: "The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in pagan revelry." |
8 Let's not practice sexual immorality, like some of them did, and twenty-three thousand died in one day. | 8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did--and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. |
9 Let's not test Christ, like some of them did, and were killed by the snakes. | 9 We should not test the Lord, as some of them did--and were killed by snakes. |
10 Let's not grumble, like some of them did, and were killed by the destroyer. | 10 And do not grumble, as some of them did--and were killed by the destroying angel. |
11 These things happened to them as an example and were written as a warning for us to whom the end of time has come. | 11 These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come. |
12 So those who think they are standing need to watch out or else they may fall. | 12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! |
13 No temptation has seized you that isn't common for people. But God is faithful. He won't allow you to be tempted beyond your abilities. Instead, with the temptation, God will also supply a way out so that you will be able to endure it. | 13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. |
14 So then, my dear friends, run away from the worship of false gods! | 14 Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. |
15 I'm talking to you like you are sensible people. Think about what I'm saying. | 15 I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. |
16 Isn't the cup of blessing that we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Isn't the loaf of bread that we break a sharing in the body of Christ? | 16 Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? |
17 Since there is one loaf of bread, we who are many are one body, because we all share the one loaf of bread. | 17 Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf. |
18 Look at the people of Israel. Don't those who eat the sacrifices share from the altar? | 18 Consider the people of Israel: Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar? |
19 What am I saying then? That food sacrificed to a false god is anything, or that a false god is anything? | 19 Do I mean then that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? |
20 No, but this kind of sacrifice is sacrificed to demons and not to God. I don't want you to be sharing in demons. | 20 No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. |
21 You can't drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you can't participate in the table of the Lord and the table of demons. | 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons. |
22 Or should we make the Lord jealous? We aren't stronger than he is, are we? | 22 Are we trying to arouse the Lord's jealousy? Are we stronger than he? |
23 Everything is permitted, but everything isn't beneficial. Everything is permitted, but everything doesn't build others up. | 23 "Everything is permissible"--but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"--but not everything is constructive. |
24 No one should look out for their own advantage, but they should look out for each other. | 24 Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others. |
25 Eat everything that is sold in the marketplace, without asking questions about it because of your conscience. | 25 Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, |
26 The earth and all that is in it belong to the Lord . | 26 for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it." |
27 If an unbeliever invites you to eat with them and you want to go, eat whatever is served, without asking questions because of your conscience. | 27 If some unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience. |
28 But if someone says to you, "This meat was sacrificed in a temple," then don't eat it for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience. | 28 But if anyone says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice," then do not eat it, both for the sake of the man who told you and for conscience' sake-- |
29 Now when I say "conscience" I don't mean yours but the other person's. Why should my freedom be judged by someone else's conscience? | 29 the other man's conscience, I mean, not yours. For why should my freedom be judged by another's conscience? |
30 If I participate with gratitude, why should I be blamed for food I thank God for? | 30 If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for? |
31 So, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, you should do it all for God's glory. | 31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. |
32 Don't offend either Jews or Greeks, or God's church. | 32 Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God-- |
33 This is the same thing that I do. I please everyone in everything I do. I don't look out for my own advantage, but I look out for many people so that they can be saved. | 33 even as I try to please everybody in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved. |

Not leaving the tent
I went camping with 2 scared kids and horrible weather on the way. Needless to say both kids woke me up in the middle of torrential rain having to go. I was so glad I had stuffed a couple of these Plus bags in my pack. We grabbed the Kindling bucket (5 gal) opened it up and after a little convincing, both kids went off to bed. There was NO WAY i was taking them out it that rain. Saved our trip!!

double doodie plus
What an amazing product! The first time I tried it was on a camping trip. Its easy to use, very easy to clean up. Now at our cabin it sure beats stumbling to the outhouse or port-a-potty in the middle of the night.

Double Doodie
I purchased a portable toilet from another company and it only came with one bag. I bought the smaller double doodie bags and they fit the toilet but when it came time for disposal I sure wish I had purchased the larger ones like the one that came with it. Buy the Double Doodie PLUS!

The expense of owning a dog entails more than just the cost of food and toys. You also need to pay for yearly vaccinations, annual checkups, heartworm medication, flea and tick medication, microchipping, licensing, spaying or neutering...the list goes on and on. Considering that many dogs live to be at least 10 years old, if not older, the expenses can really add up! According to the Wall Street Journal, the average cost of a dog over it's lifetime can range anywhere from $12,000 to $23,000.
And remember, the bigger the dog, the bigger the bills. No wonder some people compare owning a pet to having a child!

Visitors to the Utah Arts Festival stride across concrete promenades and grassy lawns sprawled out between fountains and modern buildings, which have glass walls that reflect the fest's vibrant paintings and eclectic sculptures. Since its inception more than 35 years ago, the four-day festival has taken over a multiblock radius to accommodate hundreds of visual artists, musicians, performers, and culinary artists, each celebrating modern art and the local community. Throughout indoor and outdoor exhibitions, visitors explore varied works of visual art represented through special exhibitions and hands-on workshops with featured artists. A marketplace also gives artists a place to sell their paintings, wearable art, and sculptures to help disseminate their crafts and raise enough money for van Gogh's ghost to move out of their basements.
Musicians score the festival throughout its days with worldwide genres on several outdoor stages, and storytellers and other literary artists tickle ears with eclectic tales and recitations of the UN staff directory. Across the grounds, festival staffers recycle the fete's discarded plastic, aluminum, and cardboard as well as food scraps and vegetable oil, and promote eco-friendly practices with a protected bicycle lot and bike valet.
The Hershey Theatre, conceived in 1933 by noted philanthropist and chocolatier Milton S. Hershey, stands as an opulent tribute to the performing arts. Taking architectural cues from Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice, the foyer's towering arches gleam with golden paint and crystal chandeliers. The blue-and-gold mosaic that leads to the main seating area is the masterwork of two German artists who spent two years on its construction. Once inside the theater, audiences might think they've stepped onto the streets of Venice thanks to the atmospheric ceiling, stonework facades, and gondoliers paddling them to their seats. ####Bethel Woods Center for the Arts Music has permeated the 800 manicured acres where the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts has stood since 1969, when farmer Max Yasgur agreed to let love, peace, and harmony grow wild at the very first Woodstock festival. These days, the renowned outdoor venue and cultural center continues to attract the biggest acts in music to its pavilion stage. The open-air design ensures ample ventilation on the natural sloping lawn, and a roof protects up to 15,000 fans from inclement weather and the prying eyes of Cessna pilots.
Mickey and Minnie, Scarlett and Rhett, Jack and Rose?all classic cinematic pairs. During their travels throughout the northwest, friends Dave and Matt discovered one more: beer and film. They brought this concept back to Salt Lake City in 1997 when they opened Brewvies Cinema Pub, giving movie lovers a place to take in a flick while sipping one of 19 beers on tap. These include locally brewed options from Epic Brewing Company and Uinta Brewing.
Beer in hand, patrons ages 21 and up can settle in and watch exhilarating blockbusters or smaller, critically acclaimed films on one of the theater's four screens. Brewvies Cinema Pub even indulges more eclectic tastes with special screenings of classic movies as well as cult favorites. To complement their beer, patrons can grab a quick bite from the concession stand, which features everything from hummus plates and coconut shrimp to 10-inch pizzas and pulled-pork sandwiches smothered in a homemade honey-chipotle barbecue sauce.
Within Clark Planetarium's space-exploration-themed facility, the interactive displays and immersive IMAX and planetarium shows enlighten visitors with interesting scientific facts. Spread out across 10,000 square feet, more than 15 hands-on exhibits entrance guests with artifacts such as photos from the Hubble Space Telescope and a moon rock brought back from the Apollo 15 mission.
Audio in the ATK IMAX Theatre emanates from a 14,000-watt digital surround-sound system as the 70-foot wide, five-story-high screen accommodates Hollywood hits and insightful documentaries in 3-D. More entertainment abounds in the Hansen Dome Theatre, where six high-definition projectors fill the 55-foot domed screen with seamless images during scientific films and cosmic light shows.
Wise Guys' triad of venues in Trolley Square, Downtown Ogden, and West Valley City holds an ever-rotating calendar of nationally touring and local comics. A cavalcade of beloved standups has graced Wiseguys' brick-backed stages, including Norm MacDonald, Chris Kattan, and Bob Saget. The West Valley City location also serves a café-style menu of sandwiches, appetizers, desserts, and more than 20 types of beer.
Founded in 1966 as a professional modern-dance company, the Repertory Dance Theater has a long-standing commitment to engaging the public with dance, both through performances and community programs. In the early '90s, RDT helped to invigorate downtown Salt Lake City's cultural and social presence by building the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center, where the company continues to practice, teach classes, perform, and host free lectures on the importance of laundering leotards.

Date published: 2013-05-21
Rated 4 out of 5 by goldie from Fantastic color and coverate I keep going back to this as my go-to red. It is a nice, bright, true red with close to opague coverage in one coat, though I always use two plus a topcoat. Manicures last 5+ days with little to no touch-ups. It does stain my nails a little when I remove it, this could possibly be fixed with a basecoat. Really nice red for holiday nail-art too!

I'm so pleased that you guys can hear and play this EP because I love it. One of the guys out there who is keeping electronic dance music weird and wonderful is Astronomar. This is the music made for the wild club creatures of the night. Ballroom, techno, and house music sound like they have been fused with the leftover parts of machines in an old factory. This music is bare and recognizes the simplicity of using just some sounds to make a song. The thing I love about Astronomar's music is it's never overmade; it's just well made. Nothing is there that doesn't have to be. Where big room and trance producers design luxury cars, Astronomar designs racing cars.
It's releases like this that make me say again and again that if you're walking around complaining about the excess of the current EDM world, you don't have to look any further than Main Course. If you haven't figured it out yet by the way I'm going off, this is a big big EP that you almost need to get. It's free for a month, so no excuses.

CASPER, Wyo. — Sen. Mike Enzi is the top fundraiser among congressional candidates in the state in the most recent quarter.
Enzi, a Republican and Wyoming's senior senator, raised over $267,000 from April 1 through June 30.
Enzi faces a challenge from Democrat Charlie Hardy, who reported he raised just over $6,000 in the last quarter.
Republican Rep. Cynthia Lummis, also seeking re-election, raised over $51,000.
Other congressional candidates reported they hadn't met the $5,000 threshold for filing the federal campaign contribution reports.

As their name implies, the technicians at Data Doctors see computers as patients, and look to cure CPU maladies rather than simply treating symptoms. In the span of a short wait, the team diagnoses the problem at hand and determines the best course of action, should it be repairs, upgrades, or complete replacements. The winner of a Spirit of Enterprise Award by the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University and fluent in both Windows and Mac systems, the computer sleuths root out viruses and spyware, optimize drives with defragmentation and registry cleaning, and even delve into cases to drive out fan-choking dust and infestations of robotic ants. Once services are complete, they chat with each customer to explain how best to prevent a return visit.
The team's expertise also extends to the sale and setting up of new computers, including the safe transfer of data from old hard drives to new ones. To keep businesses running smoothly, Data Doctors can set up new networks, lend supplemental IT help, and recover data lost to the void.
The Jewish Community Center of Greater Orlando was founded to give those who share the Jewish tradition a communal setting in which to exercise, play, and learn with one another. Between them, the two locations boast full fitness facilities, tennis courts, and an outdoor pool. Group exercise classes and a gymnasium aid adults in acquiring fitter bodies, and sports leagues provide a venue for grownups to compete and ceremoniously dump sports drinks on each other. The center also puts on its own full-blown theatrical productions.
The center's staff tailors certain events to the needs of senior citizens, helping them with exercise regimes such as yoga. Staff members also assist the Senior Nite club in organizing trips to new restaurants or the theater and help pintsize guests by helming a preschool, kids' camps, and extracurricular programs. Staffers can even pick up youngsters from school and ferry them to one of the facilities for afterschool development programs, which, like backyard mazes, are designed by the child's parents to challenge young ones.
From the outside, Professor Wonder?s WonderWorks laboratory appears to have flipped completely on its head. When visitors enter the upside-down edifice, they must first pass through the psychedelic, spinning lights of the Inversion Tunnel, which turns the building right-side up for families to embark on a full day of entertaining, educational activities. More than 100 interactive exhibits spark excitement around natural phenomenon, including replica mercury capsules that visitors can climb into, a gallery of mind-bending illusions.
Some of WonderWorks Orlando?s hands-on displays allow guests to experience the aftershocks of the San Francisco earthquake of 1989, throw a strike against Derek Jeter, and lie down on a bed of 3,500 sharp nails without so much as a scratch. Additional activities include the Indoor Ropes Challenge Course, which exercises bodies and minds as challengers navigate three stories of swinging beams and suspension bridges, and the XD Theater 4D.
Dr. Anne Scholl-Mealey has always believed in treating her four-legged patients as if they were her own pets. Though she doesn?t work at Animal Hospital at Vista Lakes?a clinic she opened in 2005 due to an overwhelming demand for an Orlando-area vet?she chose two fellow doctors and a supporting staff who share her compassion. This able team treats dogs, cats, rabbits, and exotics, such as mangos with whiskers. Their services include preventative care and checkups, surgery, and microchip identification, a procedure that painlessly places a small electronic chip into pets' skin so they are traceable if lost. The facility also includes a kennel for boarding and a grooming center headed by a graduate of the Florida Institute of Animal Arts.
Snap! Orlando unravels a city-wide canvas for more than 50 renowned photographers and emerging local talents to showcase their shutterbug prowess. Stretched across a dozen different venues, including art galleries, cafés, and exhibition spaces, the multi-day celebration unites both photography novices and veteran collectors under the same creative banner. On Friday, an artist reception launches the festivities with live talks from featured visionaries, and on Saturday, a fashion show shifts the spotlight from portraits to patterns with bold new styles inspired by some of the event's creative minds. Attendees can also drop in on a lineup of lectures, workshops, and guest speakers who will be on hand to discuss their areas of expertise or demonstrate their go-to dance moves for developing a Polaroid.
The Sylvester family had bartending in its blood. Whether it was Uncle Mickey holding court with 40 years' worth of regulars or Tony Sr. mixing one of his signature Skip and Go Nakeds, they exemplified the easy grace and no-nonsense craftsmanship found in a true barman's barman. That dedication to well-poured drinks carried over to Tony Jr., who has spent the last 35 years training mixologists nationwide through the curriculum of his ABC Bartending Schools. Taught behind fully functional bars, his courses educate students in topics ranging from drink recipes and equipment setup to flair moves and alcohol awareness. His schools also emphasize employment; after graduation, students can take advantage of a nationwide job placement service to land gigs in Miami nightclubs, Las Vegas casinos, or the bar cars of Chicago's El trains.

Delicious a great summer dish! I substituted halibut for the red snapper and it was a big hit
This is such an easy recipe. I did not bake the fish. I placed it on a heavy duty cookie sheet and placed it on the grill on low. It turned out great.
I loved this recipe. This rave is coming from a non-fish lover and someone who despises olives and capers, two ingredients in the sauce. My husband made this for company and everyone had second helpings. In addition to tasting fabulous (you can't taste the olives), the recipe was really easy -- it is one of the few fish recipes that you can make in the oven. If you prepare the sauce in advance, you have no cooking time while your guests are there. You can put the fish in the oven while you join your guests for cocktails. And the recipe is easy to double or triple. My husband doubled it and added extra tomatoes for more sauce. It took a little longer oven time because of that. Also, we used orange roughy because our local fish store did not have red snapper. It was delicious!
This is a good basic Veracruz as it does have the olives. I add a touch of Cinnamon and it really adds depth and a touch of Intrigue as most folks can't recognize the taste. The cinnamon is what sets it apart. I actually use a Veracruz Snapper at our restuarant in Perth, Western Australia.
Very good recipe for entertaining -- interesting flavors. The sauce can easily be assembled early. The cooking time and directions were perfect.
I made this this evening and it is an excellent recipe. The recipe is very simple and uses mostly pantry staples, so it can be assembled without a lot of shopping. The whole thing comes together very quickly. The sauce is delicious and keeps the fish very moist while baking. It has a nice balance of sweet, salty, acidity and oil. Rather than dirty a baking dish I would suggest using a large (5qt), oven proof chef's pan to make the sauce. Then add the raw fish, spoon the sauce on top and put in the oven for the requisite baking time.

the turning of a sinner to God ( Acts 15:3 ). In a general sense the heathen are said to be "converted" when they abandon heathenism and embrace the Christian faith; and in a more special sense men are converted when, by the influence of divine grace in their souls, their whole life is changed, old things pass away, and all things become new ( Acts 26:18 ). Thus we speak of the conversion of the Philippian jailer ( 16:19-34 ), of Paul ( 9:1-22 ), of the Ethiopian treasurer ( 8:26-40 ), of Cornelius (10), of Lydia ( 16:13-15 ), and others. (See REGENERATION .)
$ I. The Words "Conversion," "Convert," in Biblical Usage.$
1. In the English Bible:
The noun "conversion" (epistrophe) occurs in only one passage in the Bible, "They passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles" (Acts 15:3). Derived forms of the verb "convert" are used in the Revised Version (British and American) in James 5:19, "convert," "converteth" (5:20), "converted" (Psalms 51:13, margin "return"), "converts" (Isaiah 1:27, margin "they that return"). In other instances where the King James Version uses forms of the verb "convert" the Revised Version (British and American) employs "turn again" (Isaiah 6:10; Luke 22:32; Acts 3:19), or "turn" (Isaiah 60:5; Matthew 13:15; 18:3; Mark 4:12; John 12:40; Acts 28:27). In Psalms 19:7 the reading of the King James Version, "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul," has been changed by the revisers into "restoring the soul." The words commonly used in the English Bible as equivalent with the Hebrew and Greek terms are "turn," "return," "turn back," "turn again" (compare Deuteronomy 4:30; Isaiah 55:7; Jeremiah 3:12; 25:5; 35:15; Ezekiel 18:21-23; 33:11; Malachi 3:7). Thus "convert" is synonymous with "turn," and "conversion" with "turning."
2. In the Old Testament:
The principal Hebrew word is :shubh; other words are panah, haphakh, cabhabh, in Hiphil. They are used
(1) in the literal sense, for instance, Genesis 14:7; Deuteronomy 17:16; Psalms 56:9; Isaiah 38:8.
(2) In the later prophetical writings the verb shubh refers, both in the Qal and Hiphil forms, to the return from the captivity (Isaiah 1:27; Jeremiah 29:14; 30:3; Ezekiel 16:53; Zechariah 2:7).
(3) In the figurative, ethical or religious sense
(a) from God (Numbers 14:43; 1 Samuel 15:11; 1 Kings 9:6);
(b) more frequently to turn back to God (1 Samuel 7:3; 1 Kings 8:33; Isaiah 19:22; Joel 2:12; Amos 4:6; Hosea 6:11; 7:10).
3. In the New Testament:
The words used in the Septuagint and New Testament are strephein, and its compounds, apostr., anastr., epanastr., hupostr., and especially epistrephein. The latter word occurs 39 times in the New Testament. It is used
(1) in the literal sense in Matthew 9:22; 10:13; 24:18; Acts 9:40; 15:36, etc.;
(2) in the figurative sense, in transitive form. (Luke 1:16; James 5:19). In Galatians 4:9 and 2 Peter 2:21 it denotes to turn from the right way to the wrong. The opposite meaning, to turn from the wrong way to the right, we find in Luke 22:32; Acts 9:35; 11:21; 14:15; 15:19; 26:18; 2 Corinthians 3:16; 1 Thessalonians 1:9; 1 Peter 2:25. In connection with metanoein, "repent," it is used in Acts 3:19; 26:20. The root word strephein is used in the figurative sense in Matthew 18:3; John 12:40. Septuagint and Textus Receptus of the New Testament have here epistrephein.
$ II. The Doctrine.$
While the words "conversion" and "convert" do not occur frequently in our English Bible the teaching contained therein is fundamental in Christian doctrine. From the words themselves it is not possible to derive a clearly defined doctrine of conversion; the materials for the construction of the doctrine must be gathered from the tenor of Biblical teaching.
1. Vague Use of the Word:
There is a good deal of vagueness in the modern use of the term. By some writers it is used in "a very general way to stand for the whole series of manifestations just preceding, accompanying, and immediately following the apparent sudden changes of character involved" (E. D. Starbuck, The Psychology of Religion, 21). " `To be converted,' `to be regenerated,' `to receive grace,' `to experience religion,' `to gain an assurance,' are so many phrases which denote the process, gradual or sudden, by which a self, hitherto divided and consciously wrong, inferior and unhappy, becomes unified and consciously right, superior and happy in consequence of its hold upon religious realities. This at least is what conversion signifies in general terms" (William James, The Varieties of Religious Experience, 189). In this general, vague way the term is used not only by psychologists, but also by theological writers and in common religious parlance. A converted man is a Christian, a believer, a man who has religion, who has experienced regeneration.
2. Specific Meaning:
In its more restricted meaning the word denotes the action of man in the initial process of salvation as distinguished from the action of God. Justification and regeneration are purely Divine acts, repentance, faith, conversion are human acts although under the influence and by the power of the Divine agency. Thus, conversion denotes the human volition and act by which man in obedience to the Divine summons determines to change the course of his life and turns to God. Arrested by God's call man stops to think, turns about and heads the opposite way. This presupposes that the previous course was not directed toward God but away from Him. The instances of conversion related in the Bible show that the objective point toward which man's life was directed may be either the service of idols (1 Thessalonians 1:9) or a life of religious indifference, a self-centered life where material things engross the attention and deaden the sense of things spiritual (rich young ruler, Luke 18:22), or a life of sensuality, of open sin and shame (prodigal son, Luke 15:13) or even a mistaken way of serving God (Saul, Acts 26:9). Accordingly in conversion either the religious or the ethical element may predominate. The moral man who turns from self to God or, as Saul did, from an erroneous notion concerning God's will to a clear conception of his relation to God is more conscious of the religious factor. Conversion brings him into vital, conscious fellowship with God through Jesus Christ. The immoral man who is awakened to a realization of the holiness of God, of the demands of His law, and of his own sin and guilt is more conscious of the outward change in his manner of life. The ethical change is the more outstanding fact in his experience, although it can never be separated from the religious experience of the changed relation to God.
3. Mode:
The mode of conversion Varies greatly according to the former course of life. It may be a sudden crisis in the moral and intellectual life. This is very frequently the case in the experience of heathen who turn from the worship of idols to faith in Jesus Christ. A sudden crisis is frequently witnessed in the case of persons who, having lived a life of flagrant sin, renounce their former life. Conversion to them means a complete revolution in their thoughts, feelings and outward manner of life. In other instances conversion appears to be the climax of prolonged conflict for supremacy of divergent motives; and, again, it may be the goal of a gradual growth, the consummation of a process of discerning ever more clearly and yielding ever more definitely and thus experiencing ever more vitally truths which have been implanted and nurtured by Christian training. This process results in the conscious acceptance of Jesus Christ as the personal Saviour and in the consecration of life to His service. Thus conversion may be an instantaneous act, or a process which is more or less prolonged. The latter is more frequently seen in the case of children and young people who have grown up in Christian families and have received the benefit of Christian training. No conversions of this kind are recorded in the New Testament. This may be explained by the fact that most of our New Testament writings are addressed to the first generation of Christians, to men and women who were raised in Jewish legalism or heathen idolatry, and who turned to Christ after they had passed the age of adolescence. The religious life of their children as distinguished in its mode and manifestations from that of the adults does not appear to have been a matter of discussion or a source of perplexity so as to call forth specific instruction.
4. Conversion and Psychology:
Conversion comprises the characteristics both of repentance and of faith. Repentance is conversion viewed from its starting-point, the turning from the former life; faith indicates the objective point of conversion, the turning to God.
Of late the psychology of conversion has been carefully studied and elaborately treated by psychologists. Much valuable material has been gathered. It is shown that certain periods of adolescent life are particularly susceptible to religious influences (compare G. Stanley Hall, Adolescence, II, chapter xiv; E. D. Starbuck, Psychology of Religion, etc.). Yet conversion cannot be explained as a natural process, conditioned by physiological changes in the adolescent, especially by approaching puberty. The laws of psychology are certainly God's laws as much as all other laws of Nature, and His Spirit works in harmony with His own laws. But in genuine conversion there is always at work in a direct and immediate manner the Spirit of God to which man, be he adolescent or adult, consciously responds. Any attempt to explain conversion by eliminating the direct working of the Divine Spirit falls short of the mark.

Old Dominion Monarchs (19-11)
@Georgia St. Panthers (19-10)
Wednesday, February 22
GSU Sports Arena
Attendance: 2,403
Old Dominion
Georgia St.
Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Kent Bazemore led the way with 19 points as the Old Dominion Monarchs picked up a 65-60 overtime victory over the Georgia State Panthers in a Colonial Athletic Association thriller at GSU Sports Arena.
For the Monarchs (19-11.13-4 CAA), Dimitri Batten added 13 points, while Chris Cooper notched a double-double with 11 points and 17 rebounds.
Jihad Ali led the Panthers (19-10, 10-7) with 20 points, while Devonta White finished with 12 points, James Fields chipped in 10 points and Eric Buckner pulled down 10 rebounds.
Georgia State shot well right out of the gate, connecting on 50 percent of their field goals, including 3-of-7 from three-point range in the first half. ODU managed just 38.2 percent from the floor, including only 3-of-11 from beyond the arc, as the Panthers led at the break, 34-31.
After halftime, both teams had trouble finding the basket. The Panthers made just 31.8 percent of their field goals. The Monarchs shot even worse, hitting on only 19.4 percent of their shots from the field. The Panthers led 54-51 before Bazemore hit a three-pointer to tie it with just over two minutes left. Ali made two free throws to put Georgia State back on top, but Batten scored on a layup and the Monarchs held Georgia State scoreless over the final minute to push the game into overtime with the score knotted up at 56-56.
ODU took control in the extra period, going ahead 61-56, while holding the Panthers scoreless for over four minutes. A Jihad three-pointer with 38 seconds left cut ODU's lead to 61-60, but the Panthers would not score again as the Monarchs held on for the victory.
ODU outscored Georgia State 23-13 on second chance points. The Monarchs owned the boards, outrebounding the Panthers 52-39.

6. Manhunt James L. Swanson
After the recent glut of Lincoln books, you may think you've read enough about Honest Abe. Not quite. Swanson's intense minute-by-minute re-creation of his assassination and the ensuing 12-day hunt for killer John Wilkes Booth (presented here as a preening narcissist) makes for a
gripping historical page-turner.
7. Oracle Bones Peter Hessler
New Yorker correspondent Hessler reduces the monolithic China of headlines to proper human scale with his vivid reportage, unpacking everything from the surreal spectacle of a Falun Gong demonstration to the evening scene at a grimy dumpling shop. His relaxed storytelling belies his extensive underlying research.
8. Imperial Life in the Emerald City Rajiv Chandrasekaran
How depressing that the ongoing American presence in Iraq can make for such perversely entertaining reading. Washington Post reporter Chandrasekaran's sharp-eyed account of life inside Baghdad's Green Zone offers some of the blackest comedy at the bookstore.
9. The Ghost Map Steven Johnson
Part 1 of Johnson's historical reconstruction is a minutely detailed account of London's cholera epidemic of 1854 and an eccentric physician's effort to map the outbreak and track its source. Part 2 is a thought-provoking celebration of cities and a meditation on the spread of ideas. The result: a riveting work that makes you give thanks for modern plumbing and rethink your pessimism about urban sprawl.
10. Eat, Pray, Love Elizabeth Gilbert
Her marriage imploded, a rebound romance collapsed, and then journalist Gilbert fell into a seemingly bottomless depression. So she signed a book contract and headed off to heal herself in back-to-back trips to Italy, India, and Indonesia. Nice work if you can get it. And Gilbert deserves it. The resulting memoir is an openhearted charmer, brimming with the author's wit and infectious faith in personal transformation.

As state lawmakers race toward the close of the 2014 legislative session and prepare to shift into campaign mode, there are more than 30 bills in the pipeline that would change the way Rhode Island conducts its elections.
One proposes a constitutional amendment to pair the governor and lieutenant governor on the ballot.
Another provides a path for citizens' groups to get issues on the ballot without going through the state legislature.
A third repeals a law that requires the authors of campaign fliers and other campaign literature to identify themselves on the messages they craft to support or oppose candidates and causes.
Sponsored in the House by Warwick Democrat Joseph Shekarchi and in the Senate by Warwick Democrat Michael McCaffrey, the bill deletes language that says "no person shall intentionally write, print, post, or distribute … a circular, flier or poster" that is designed to "aid, injure or defeat" a candidate or ballot question unless the piece also includes "the name of the author" and "the names of" the organization's leaders.
The bill follows a 2013 court case involving longtime Democratic political operative Rob Horowitz, which was dismissed after Horowitz's lawyer argued the law is unconstitutional. As Horowitz's lawyer pointed out, the U.S. Supreme Court in 1995 struck down a similar Ohio law that barred anonymous political or campaign literature.
State lawmakers aren't the only ones taking an interest in the issue. The Rhode Island affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union recently challenged the law in U.S. District Court and is waiting to see what happens with the bills before proceeding, said Steven Brown, the affiliate's executive director.
In fact, Shekarchi's bill has passed in the House and is awaiting action by the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is chaired by McCaffrey.
Those are hardly the only bills that touch on election laws.
There is also a perennial bill that would provide a path for citizens groups to get issues on the ballot without going through the state legislature; a bill that would let voters change their party affiliation 29 days before a primary election, rather than the current 90; a bill that would let unaffiliated voters vote in primary elections without becoming affiliated; a bill that would allow "in-person voting" up to 21 days before a general election; a bill that would let voters register online; a bill that would let prisoners retain, for voting purposes, the address they had before going to prison; a bill that would expand the list of IDs that can be used under the state's voter ID law; and a bill that would repeal the state's voter ID law. And that's not all.
The most publicized elections-related bills this year are those that would repeal the "master-lever" or "straight-party" voting option from the ballot. One of them, sponsored by Shekarchi, passed in the House and is waiting for action from the Senate Judiciary Committee. Another, sponsored by Sen. David Bates, had a hearing and was held for further study.
John Marion, executive director of Common Cause Rhode Island, said his organization supports some of the bills, such as the voter ID law repeal and those that allow early voting and online voter registration. He said the group has not taken a position on the governor-lieutenant governor bill, and sees potential problems to be worked out, such as what happens to the campaign contributions of the lieutenant governor candidate when he or she joins the joint ticket?
House spokesman Larry Berman said "there is no House momentum" for some of the bills, and noted that House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello has said he opposes "any changes in the voter ID law." But he said some bills are still being discussed, such as the one that pairs the governor and lieutenant governor.
No rash ratification
Speaking of elections, there is also a bill this year that looks to the past and shows how sometimes, Rhode Island just takes its time.
It was 102 years ago, in 1912, that Congress enacted the 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Ratified in 1913, the amendment ensured that voters, and not state legislatures, would choose the senators who represent them in Congress.
It may seem pretty boilerplate nowadays, and Rhode Island's voters have been electing their senators for a long time. But here's the thing: Little Rhody was among 11 states that, in 1913, did not ratify the 17th Amendment.
A century later — in 2013 — the R.I. House passed a resolution ratifying the 17th Amendment, only to see it die in the Senate.
Not to be deterred, the House took up the resolution again last week and passed it, sending it to the Senate.
The resolution doesn't change anything officially — the state's voters go on electing two U.S. senators.
"It's more ceremonial than anything," said the sponsor, Rep. Cale Keable, D-Burrillville.
But that has not stopped other states that voted no in 1913 from ceremonially ratifying the 17th Amendment in recent years. The list includes Delaware, in 2010, and Maryland, in 2012.
Will Rhode Island join them by sending a certified copy of the ratification resolution to the president of the United States?
Only time will tell.
Raimondo a Yale fellow
The headline read: "RI treasurer Gina M. Raimondo elected."
On closer inspection, the headline that went all around Rhode Island last week on Google news alerts was attached to a Yale News story about General Treasurer Gina Raimondo's election to the 19-member Yale Corporation as the new "alumni fellow" on the governing board and policymaking body for Yale University.
Raimondo, of course, is one of the Democrats running to succeed incumbent Lincoln Chafee as governor. And she's in a tight race against Providence Mayor Angel Taveras, according to the latest Providence Journal-WPRI poll released last week.
But she is also a graduate of Yale Law School.
According to Yale News: "Gina Raimondo '98 JD" is one of three new trustees to be elected after months of balloting.
"We will benefit from her strategic thinking," said Yale President Peter Salovey of the new trustee. "The perspective she will bring to the Corporation's deliberations will be invaluable, particularly as we pursue our efforts to strengthen our alliance with New Haven and the surrounding community."
Raimondo, who received her undergraduate degree from Harvard, will start her six-year term on July 1.
Donation solution
Meanwhile, Taveras campaign manager Danny Kedem responded to a question posed to him more than a month ago about the two $1,000 campaign contributions the mayor received in 2010 and 2011 from one of the central figures in the 38 Studios saga: law and tax credit broker Michael Corso.
Recently released documents show that Corso stood to make millions from the state-backed loan deal that financed ex-Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling's now-bankrupt video-game company.
On Friday, Kedem said Taveras had decided to donate the equivalent of the $2,000 he received from Corso to the Rhode Island Community Food Bank.
Asked why, Kedem said: "We thought it was the right thing to do."
He did not respond to further questions.
Bill's support plunges
It's not often that a bill makes it to the House floor, only to be "recommitted" or sent back to committee for further consideration because of strong opposition. But that's what happened last week as lawmakers took up a bill that would have required plumbers to complete 10 hours of training every two years to renew their licenses.
Supporters said the bill, sponsored by Rep. Marvin Abney, D-Newport, would improve safety and help Rhode Island plumbers compete with those from other states. Opponents disputed those assertions, and said the bill was just another case of adding yet another regulation when everyone knows the state already has too many.
Some of the sharpest comments came from Minority Whip Joseph Trillo, R-Warwick.
"Plumbing is not rocket science," he said at one point, his voice booming through the chamber.
He added: "This is just going against what we're trying to achieve."
More than half a dozen representatives echoed that sentiment, until finally, after nearly 30 minutes of debate, Majority Leader John DeSimone, D-North Providence, made a motion for the bill to be recommitted.

TUESDAY, April 9 (HealthDay News) -- A particular variant of a cholesterol-related gene may double the risk of Alzheimer's disease in older blacks, a new study suggests.
The gene -- known as ABCA7 -- is also linked to Alzheimer's among whites, but it appears much more important in blacks' risk of the memory-robbing disease, the researchers said.
Still, although a doubling in risk may sound large, the researchers stressed that it's actually a modest increase. Older adults' risk of Alzheimer's is thought to depend on many factors -- not only an array of different genes, but also environmental influences.
"How much does this increase your risk? It's modest," said Dr. Robert Nussbaum, a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not involved in the study.
But the findings are important because they add to the understanding of the complex underpinnings of Alzheimer's, said Nussbaum, who wrote an editorial published with the study in the April 10 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The results come from what is believed to be the most extensive search yet for Alzheimer's-linked genes in older blacks.
Most of what is known about Alzheimer's genes has come from data on white adults, because until now there hadn't been a study sample of blacks that was large enough for a gene study, said study lead researcher Dr. Christiane Reitz, an assistant professor of neurology at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City.
Researchers have known for years that whites with a particular variant in the ApoE gene -- called ApoE4 -- have a higher risk of Alzheimer's than whites who carry other variants of the gene.
About 25 percent to 30 percent of the population is thought to carry the Alzheimer's-linked E4 variant.
In the new study, ApoE4 also was linked to an increased Alzheimer's risk among ne

Sibling names "go" together
I already have a son (Levi), and a daughter (Eva). I wasn't planning on having any more children, but here I am pregnant with #3. And while I have names that I like (Vivian for a girl, Jethro for a boy), I'm just not sure if they "go" with my other childrens' names. Has anyone else had this problem?

I think they go together. Vivian is especially connected because of the v's.

I was actually thinking when I saw your children's names that Vivian would make a great choice with all the Vs.
