John: On today's "Focus on the Family," we're going to hear from a dynamic guest.
Frank: There's a lot of kids out there, grown-ups, anybody, the question's going to come up. Whenever some kind of rule or authority or constraint or moral standard is presented to them, the question's always gonna come up, "Oh, yeah! Who says?"
End of Excerpt
John: That's author Frank Peretti and today we're going to answer that question. When it comes down to right and wrong, who says? And our host is Focus president and author, Jim Daly. I'm John Fuller..
Jim: John, what a question! I mean, we all, I think, come to that point where we have to ask that question. If you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as a teenager, as a 20-something, you had to ask yourself that question. Do I believe that this is the authority that I need to listen to?
We live in an extremely relativistic culture. You have your truth and I have mine. All the research says that. We don't want to tread on each other. And every once in a while, I think it's important to remind ourselves that we serve a God of absolute truth, not halfway truth.
And if you don't believe that, you've got to hear today's message from Frank Peretti. Frank is a gifted and prolific author, starting with his book, This Present Darkness that Jean and I love. In fact, we were moving from Northern California to Southern California in the late '80s and somebody mentioned his book. We read that book on the drive down, reading to each other as the other one drove. And when it got dark, we got the flashlight out--
John: Oh!
Jim: --and even read by flashlight, 'cause the story is so gripping.
John: Yeah, you really can't stop once you start one of Frank's books. I mean, he just writes in such a compelling way.
Jim: It keeps comin' at ya. And altogether, I think he's written 19 books, including books for children. Not many people know, he's also an extremely energetic and entertaining speaker--
John: Uh-hm.
Jim: --as we're gonna hear today.
John: Well, and the clip we played a moment ago really does give a little bit of a hint of the energy he does bring to his speaking engagements. I think it'd be impossible to doze off if you're (Laughter) at one of his presentations.
Jim: He speaks like he writes.
John: He does, yeah. And now there's a scene here I want to describe to you as we get going. Franks is speaking at a Christian worldview conference called Steeling the Mind of America. It was a number of years ago and he came onto an otherwise empty stage with just a chair there, a single wooden chair. And so, with that as the backdrop, let's go ahead and listen to Frank Peretti on today's "Focus on the Family."
Frank: Ohh, what in the world is this chair all about? Some of you probably know, when I teach and talk about things, I usually have to do, you know, diagrams. I have to act things out. It's kind of what I call in Italian "overhead." You know, instead of drawing (Laughter), I just kind of draw things in space and everything. And I decided I would use this chair, because that's a real nice illustration.
What I'm trying to explain to you tonight is what I call the "fixed point of reference"--the fixed point of reference. Well, what in the world is it? Well, okay, let's imagine. It won't be too hard. You just imagine that I'm in a big, humongous dark room. It's a featureless room. It doesn't even have corners in it. It has round walls, you know. And the whole point of that is, I don't know where I am.
And I'm feeling my way around in this room and trying to figure out, you know. The first thing anybody does when they get somewhere is, they want to know where they are. (Laughter) I have to get a map to find out, is the way to get to Vail? I finally found out where, but I'm groping around, trying to find my way around and where I am. I say, "Aaahhh! Hee! Aha! Oh, what is this!? It's a chair! Yes! Ah! Oh, boy, yes! It has legs and it has braces and it has a back. It's a chair. Ah! Good! Ah! Now I can sit here. At least I know where I am. Heh heh. I'm in the chair. (Laughter) Yeah. Ah, it's a good feeling!"
You know, now I got this chair. It's a home base, yeah, home base. I can navigate from this chair. (Laughter) I can just kind of (ding ding, ding ding, ding ding). I can, you know, let's kind of send out some feelers. (Voo voo, voo voo, voo voo.) (Laughter)
Why are you people laughing? I'll tell you why you're laughing. (Laughter) You realize, just naturally, automatically, you realize that no fixed point of reference is gonna do you any good unless it has two factors. No. 1, it has to be separate from you. No. 2, it can't move. (Laughter) As soon as I pick it up and make it a part of my life, make it a part of my consciousness, make it a part of my mobility, it ain't [sic] a fixed point of reference anymore!
I'll never know where I am, because the stupid thing moves. Now, as long as it stays right there, pppffftthhhht! Ah! Now that's security. That's one of the prime factors of navigation, you know. When you're out on a sailboat, right? You're out on the vast, featureless expanse of ocean out there and you have no idea where you are. Well, one way, "Bllluuuu." You hear your sexton out there and you shoot to the stars. You measure from the stars.
And the reason you can measure from the stars to figure out where you are is, because the stars don't move. They're fixed in space. Now, the earth moves and it makes look like the stars move, but we know all that stuff. (Laughter) But they don't move, if the stars are ... (dum, dum, dum dum), you wouldn't know where you are. That's a fixed point of reference.
Let's go to Acts chapter 17, for those of you who have your Bibles. This is that passage in the book of Acts where Paul the Apostle goes to Greece, goes to Athens and he's gonna talk to all these philosophers and all these thinkers and all these discussers and debaters there on Mars Hill.
And now, I gotta kinda set the stage for you. In Greece, that was one of the ancient fountainheads of modern humanism and modern rationalism, the idea that, "Well, man, by himself, with his own reason, can discover truth, truth, truth, truth. They alone will have it." And the Bible says there, "These guys spent their time in nothing other than hearing or learning a new thing." They were after knowledge. They were after truth. They figured they could do it all with their heads.
And so, they're getting together and you've got "Diabetes" here and you've got "Laryngitis" here and you've got all these other Greeks all standing around and there's "Coca Bottle" and they're all talking and they're saying, "Well, what do you think?" "What have you heard?" "Well, I really believe …" "Oh, it's my opinion ... " "I've always felt that … ". "Well, I don't know. I used to think that …" "Whhhrrrr!" And uh ... (Laughter)
So, in the middle of all this, in comes this Jew (Chuckling), Paul the Apostle. He says, "I have an idea!" "Hey! Let's hear what he has to say." So, they stand up and they say, "Speak!" Now this is where we come into it, where Paul is trying to, (he-ha) there's a challenge for ya, for him. It's easy when you're kind of an apostle, and you're traveling around and you want to kinda share the Gospel and prove that Jesus is the Messiah, he goes … he would always first would go into a Jewish Synagogue, okay? And he'd begin to argue from the Scriptures that the Jews already had, that Jesus was the Messiah or is the Messiah. And he had to get some place to start, because all the Jews who were sittin' in that synagogue, basically, they'd all been to Sunday school. You know, they knew the language, they could kinda relate.
But the thing I wanna underline for ya, this is somethin' we all need to be thinking about is, there's a whole world out there that hasn't been to Sunday school. We have kind of a unique culture, among ourselves, a unique language, you know--Praise the Lord! He's Good! Hallelujah! The Body of Christ–all these phrases we just throw around so easily. You go up to someone on the street, you know, and "Pardon me, are you born again?" "Oh yes, I have lived many lives." (Laughter) No, what I meant was, are you washed in the blood? "I hope not; what are you talking about?" Well, Paul comes up against that very thing; he can't speak Christianese to them, he can't even speak good ol' fashioned Jewish.
Now, there's a whole lot in there, but I'm gonna skip right down to verse 24 of Acts chapter 17, because I want to give you what I would like to define as the Christian's "fixed point of reference." These are the foundation stones of the Christian worldview. Verse 24, he says, "God, who made the world and everything in it." Eh! Okay, we'll stop right there. We'll leave Paul. (Laughter) Put him in freeze-frame. He'll be fine. (Laughter)
The very first thing that Paul addresses is the big question of origin--origin. Where did we come from? How did we get here? Why are we here? Isn't it funny that people wonder about those things? The Greeks didn't believe in the God of Israel, but they still wondered about those things. They were still looking for the answers and they were looking for meaning and they were looking, you know …
Let me tell you something. I used to raise chickens. I like chickens. (Laughter) They're funny. God had a sense of humor when He made chickens. (Laughter) Yeah. They're the dumbest animal on the face of the earth. (Laughter) I shouldn't say that, though because, you know, I used to wonder, when I'm not there, I wonder what they talk about? (Laughter)
You know, maybe it's all an act or something, you know. (Laughter) I'd sneak down there with their food, sneak up behind the fence, you know and I always wondered if maybe, just maybe, one day I'd hear them in there, you know, "Aaaawck! What does it mean to be a chicken? (Laughter) What is the purpose of being a chicken? (Laughter) What is the destiny of all chickens?" (Laughter)
Of course, some of them found out about that (Laughter), but they couldn't go back and tell the others. (Laughter) But the point I'm making is, those creatures out there, be they chickens or even be they apes or be they porpoises, I don't care how intelligent they are, they are not--are you ready for the word?--"self-aware." There is something unique about the human species. He asks all these tough questions, "Why are we here?" Chicken's never worried about why are they here? (Laughter)
I've got a dog at home. His name is Reuben. He doesn't even have a brain. It's just one big drool gland in his head. (Laughter) So, I don't expect a lot of deep thoughts (Laughter) from Reuben. He never wonders, "Why am I here?" You know, all he wonders is, "Am I gonna get pet? Am I gonna get food? Woof, I got to bark at the coyotes." That's about it.
A man has very simple needs, you know. Man is self-aware. He is a unique creature. He is a "person." He is a person and because he is a person, he asks the big questions. Now, of course, you know I'm saying "he" generically. Paul answers that first big question of origin. Ah, but now, now it gets sticky, you know? Even if you want to agree that God is the source of all things, here is where it gets sticky.
Verse 20, "amyeymimimimimi," verse 24, we haven't even gotten through verse 24 yet. All right. Here we go. "God, Who made the world and everything in it," here it comes, "since He is," ooh" ... since He is," whoa… "since He is Lord, Lord of heaven and earth." That's one thing that rubs man the wrong way, whenever you present an authority higher than he is. But Paul presents this idea, that there is a moral standard in our universe transcendent and above all of us and by that fixed moral standard, we can determine the right way to live.
Now these are like foundation stones. "Vhew, vhewoowoowoowoo, prgh!" No. 1, God's the origin of all things. "Bbvvvhhh, bvoom, boom." No. 2, He is the Lord of all things. Now, okay. It's easy at this point to say, "Yeah! Hey! Amen! I agree with that! I believe that!" But I'm tryin' to point out to you tonight, it is that basic foundational assumption about reality that guides the way you think. It guides the way you work at your job. It definitely guides the way you raise your children. There's a lot of kids out there--kids, grown-ups, anybody-- the question's going to come up. Whenever some kind of rule or authority or constraint or moral standard is presented to them, the question's always gonna come up, "Oh, yeah! Who says?" You better have an answer.
And through the generations we've kind of missed that a little bit. It used to be that a family was raised on godly principles and even the kids would see that even mom and dad were subject to a higher authority. Of course, after a while, maybe the kid grows up and he has kids of his own and he's saying, "Well, you should do what I tell you and you should be good, because that's how I was raised."
So, now he's kind of appealing to some moral value system that's been torn loose from its moorings. And then those kids grow up and they say, "Well, son, daughter, you should do what I tell you!" And the kid says, "Oh yeah? Who says?" "Well, I say! And you have to do what I tell ya!" "Well, that's your truth. I have my own reality." (Laughter)
It's real nice if you can say, "Son, daughter, God has placed me in authority over you to raise you according to His standards of moral behavior. Now I want to tell you something. The authority chain doesn't stop here. I have to answer to Him, as well, for how I raise you. So the ultimate authority in the universe has passed the authority down to me, He's passed His laws and His precepts and His principles down to me. I have to pass them down to you, because you and I are both accountable to Him. Now, take out the garbage." (Laughter) Okay? That's the way that works. (Laughter and Applause)
Program Note:
John: Oh, what a wonderfully humorous and insightful message from Frank Peretti on today's "Focus on the Family." We're about halfway through for today and I wanted to tell you that you can find out more at www.focusonthefamily.com/radio about the audio or a DVD of this presentation. And if you're joining us late, picture Frank standing alone on a large stage with just a chair. And he uses that chair to illustrate our need for a fixed point of reference in life. And he's quoting from the Apostle Paul, a speech about the foundation stones of the Christian worldview--our fixed points of reference. And the first two were that, God is the origin of all things and then, God provides our moral standard. Let's go ahead and return now to this outstanding message by Frank Peretti on today's "Focus on the Family."
End of Program Note:
Frank: Let's move on. We've got two foundation stones. Here we come up on the next one. Ooh, I like this one, too, okay. "He made the world and everything in it. He's Lord of heaven and earth." Okay, look at this. Ha! "He does not dwell in temples made with hands, nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath and all things. This God, who is the origin of all things, who is the moral authority over all things," I like this part, "this God is self-existent and self-defining."
In other words, He's up there because of Himself. He is the great "I Am that I Am." And Paul is trying to point out to these Greeks; these Greeks have a way of working from the ground up, you know. "Oh, we're gonna create our own God today. (Laughter) They go out and they get a big old hunk of rock, you know. And they bring it in their forklift or something. They set it there.
Then they decide, "Okay, what kind of a God do we want?" "Well, I want a God who's real fierce." So, they go, tink, tink, tink, tink. They put big muscles on him. "Now I want a God who can know all things," So tink, tink, tink, tink, they put eyeballs all over it. (Laughter) They stand that thing up there, and they go, "Oh, good," [and] bow down and worship it and everything.
I got a little question for you. Between the two of them, who created whom? (Laughter) They created their God. What does that mean? Well, who's really God between the two of them? They are. And so, what are they really worshipping? They are worshipping themselves--a projection of their own personality, which is humanism all over again.
But Paul is pointing out, "This God, Whom I serve, doesn't need you to form Him." Now, I want to tell you something else very important. If God were not self-existing and self-defining, He would not serve as a fixed point of reference, because He would be changing as often as you do.
It's kind of like somebody said, "If you're looking for truth, don't search within yourself. You're the one who's confused." (Laughter and Applause) (Chuckling) (Laughter and Applause)
Oh! God is self-existing. God is self-defining and He doesn't need you to define Him to figure what He is. Well, let's go on. This is where we really get into the heavy stuff in terms of your personal view of yourself. "Since He gives to all life, breath and all things," verse 26, "He has made from one blood every nation of man to dwell on all the face of the earth and has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings." What Paul is saying here is, "This God, Who is the origin of all things, Who is the moral authority over all things, Who exists in and of Himself and is self-defining, this God created you. He knew when you'd be born, why you'd be born, where you'd be born. He knew everything about you. He created you for a purpose. He gave you a destiny. He has a plan for your life."
What does that mean for you? That means a lot. It is that basic--vroooom! boom!--foundation stone that gives Christians the weird idea that human life is sacred, that every life is sacred, that every life is important. "Kids, welcome to Biology 101. We're gonna learn lots of fun things in this class. We're gonna cut up frogs and we're gonna pick flowers and we're gonna learn about pistols and stamens and all kinds of fun things."
"But the first thing you need to know, boys and girls, above all else, is that you are an accident! (Laughter) You have absolutely no reason for being here. (Laughter) There is no meaning, no purpose to your life. You're nothing but a meaningless conglomeration of molecules that came together purely by chance billions and billions of years ago." (Laughter)
All the dust and the gas in the galaxy floated around for who knows how long and they bumped into each other and they said, "I know, let's be organic." So, they became organic. (Laughter) And they became little gooey, slimy things, you know, swimming around in the primordial soup. And then they finally grew little feet and then they crawled up on the land and they grew fur and feathers and they became higher forms of life and they finally became, you know, a monkey and that monkey developed into an ape. And then the ape decided to shave, so he shaved (Laughter) and became what you are today. It's, you know, from goo to you by way of the zoo. (Laughter and Applause)
Now as such, you don't really have any reason for being here. (Laughter) Your existence is pointless and the universe won't mind a bit when you die. (Laughter) And when you die, you just become so much compost. (Sound effects), "Oh, okay, class dismissed. Head on down the hall now, kids, down to that new class they're starting this week on self-esteem." (Laughter and Applause)
The foundation of a Christian's self-esteem-- oh, listen to me, because so many of us have heard the lie and we've believed the lie--the foundation of a Christian's self-esteem is not in what you can do or how good you look or how athletic you are or anything else or how you can wow the girls or whatever. It has nothing to do with that. It has to do with the fact that you are here for a reason, that God created you for a purpose. He has a plan for your life. You are worth the life of His Son.
Audience: Whoa! Amen!
Frank: He loves you. (Applause) This is what builds the Christian's worldview. This is what keeps a human life from becoming a mere product, a mere machine part in a Christian's thinking. You see, if God did not create us, if we are not His unique creation put here for a purpose, then I suppose abortion is okay, because imagine, society is like a big engine. That's what the socialists would tell you, you know. We're all just part of the collective.
Imagine I'm a piston and I just go up and down. (Laughter) I'm doing my part in the collective machine. What happens if suddenly I break my connecting rod and I don't work too well anymore? (Laughter) Well, what do you do with an auto part when it breaks down? You take it out. You throw it away. You get another one. Our society is beginning to treat human life that way. If a particular life doesn't fit into the machine, we kick it out. We get rid of it. Sometimes we cancel the order before it gets there.
Audience: (Groans)
Frank: Last part of this, verse 27: "So that they should seek the Lord in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He's not far from each one of us." (Sigh.) This God, Who is the origin of all things, Who is the moral standard and authority over all things, this God Who is self-existent and self-defining, this God Who created each and every one of us for a purpose, this God is not just a God who created us and then, you know, wound up the world and (Brrrr) set it spinning and then went out for coffee or something, left His answering machine on, you know. You try to call Him, "Hi. This is God. (Laughter) I hope you like yourself today. (Laughter) I'll be back in a millennium." (Laughter) You know. "If you've got problems, hey, the answers are within you. Go for it, Baby." (Laughter) You know. (Laughter)
This is a God who desires day-by-day, moment-by-moment intimate fellowship with you. That's the kind of God I'm glad to know. That's the kind of God I'm glad to serve and I'm glad that, that God is unchanging. Yesterday, today, forever, Jesus Christ is the same. That chair is fixed in space. You can always navigate by it. It's always there.
John: And that chair was Frank Peretti's visual aid for our "Focus on the Family" broadcast today and we're going to hear the conclusion of his message next time.
Jim: We do have a sense of security in our unchanging God. He's our firm foundation that as Frank said, we can navigate life by. I wish there was a way to communicate that effectively, even more effectively to the non-believing world, because it helps define who we are and what we believe in. We know who we are, because we know Whose we are. That's a profound feeling in your heart. And in this world of confusion, on all kinds of fronts, human sexuality, marriage, isn't it nice to know that God isn't going to change the rules on us halfway through the game. He knows the design. He's the Designer. And somehow we have to continue to communicate that with compassion, with straightforward boldness, with the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And John because these fundamental truths of the Gospel are so important, we at Focus on the Family have been very intentional about speaking up in the public square and promoting a Christian worldview, something Frank was talking about. We're tryin' to do that in a friendly and engaging way, I think in the way that the Lord's heart requires of us. The Truth Project, which is aimed at helping adults understand a Christian worldview--
John: Uh-hm.
Jim: --TrueU, which is aimed at high school students, trying to get them ready for what they're gonna face at university and in their vocations. All of these things help Christians of all ages to learn what it is we believe and how to defend it effectively. And together, we can make a tremendous difference. If you could consider helping us in these efforts to educate the next generation of believers, could I ask you, yeah, let me say it. Can I beg you to consider helping Focus on the Family financially? We have the tools here. We're just trying to put them in the hands of people who desperately need them and it takes resources to do it. So, if you could consider helping us, I would truly appreciate it.
John: When you send a gift of $100 or more to support our work here at Focus on the Family as we share the Gospel with millions, we'll send you The Truth Project, 7-DVD set as a way of saying thank you for investing in the work.

The directions that came with my kit states to lower the temperature of the wort to between 70-75 degrees, add the wort to the fermentation bucket, and pitch the yeast. I read somewhere (I don't remember where now) that the wort's temperature should not be lowered to the yeast's recommended fermentation temperature of 65-70 (WLP005 British Ale Yeast) until some fermentation activity has started. Does this sound right? If so, how long should I wait and what constitutes fermentation activity? Thanks in advance.
not sure about optimum temps but I know if your chilling under 75 before pitching your not going to hurt anything. Now fermenting at 75, thats a different story depending on the style your brewing. I personally chill my beer to fermenting temps which is 68 for me since thats as cold as I can get down to right now.
I'd consider fermentation activity to be a visible change to the surface of the wort, along with possible airlock activity depending on what style fermenter your using
I usually pitch at- or close to my fermentation temp. The room is at 68F-70F, that ultimately governs my fermentation temp (which will be slightly higher than room temp due to heat generation). You really don't need worry about it too much. It's not something that's going to either save or wreck your beer. Try not to pitch hotter than the recommended 75F.

The important thing about pitching temperature is that it is low *enough*, not that it is *too* low. After that, the important thing is fermentation temp, and assuming it is 7-10 degrees hotter than room temp, making sure that it is still within the range. Search for "swamp cooler" threads to learn more about ferm temps.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
11 I'll be with you. I'll save you. I'll finish off all the godless nations Among which I've scattered you, but I won't finish you off. I'll punish you, but fairly. I won't send you off with just a slap on the wrist.' | 11 I am with you and will save you,' declares the LORD. 'Though I completely destroy all the nations among which I scatter you, I will not completely destroy you. I will discipline you but only with justice; I will not let you go entirely unpunished.' |

Call 516-222-0200 for a Free Consultation
Family Law issues are often complex, emotional and challenging. Whether you see a divorce or separation in your future and want to know what to expect, find yourself served with papers seeking a divorce or separation or are already divorced or separated and changes in circumstances mean you need to ask the Court to modify support, custody or visitation terms, it's important that you have a knowledgeable and experienced family lawyer representing you. With over 75 years of combined experience in divorce, child custody, visitation, division of property, child support, alimony/maintenance/spousal support and other family law issues on Long Island, both Nassau and Suffolk counties and in the City of New York Keith, Shapiro & Ford provides the aggressive, focused representation required to protect your interests and pursue your goals from initial consultation through the conclusion of your matter.
With no-fault divorce becoming effective on matters commenced on or after October 12, 2010 and other major changes in the law effecting child support modification, temporary spousal support and counsel fees coming as well, experienced, agressive counsel is essential to guide you through the complexities of matrimonial litigation and to assure that your rights are protected and your every entitlement realized.
About Us
Formed in 1988, Keith, Shapiro & Ford represents clients on Long Island in both Nassau & Suffolk courts and the City of New York as well in the full spectrum of matrimonial matters, including divorce, separation, custody & visitation or parenting time, maintenance (spousal support or alimony) and child support as well as Criminal and Family Court matters relating to all family related offenses, Orders of Protection, business valuations, pension analysis, adoptions and negotiations of property settlement agreements. Simply put, if it falls anywhere within the broad definition of "Family Law" we do it. We believe in aggressive representation and have never accepted the proposition that some things 'just are' and cannot be changed. If our voice is not heard, your voice is not heard. It is our goal to make a difference in your matter, not just a series of Court appearances.
Divorce has become more complex. New York divorces present issues that do not exist anywhere else in the country. Often divorce cases require knowledge of other fields of law, such as criminal law, real estate, bankruptcy and commercial law. We are well versed in the manner in which these areas of law impact upon your divorce or family law matter and also have partners and associates that are immediately available for consultation in these areas when needed.
Like everything else in life, your divorce or separation or other Family Law matter requires a plan of action consistent with goals that the you set. From the beginning we will work with you to develop an approach focused on your goals which we believe will help meet those goals in the most effective and expeditious manner.
Choosing a divorce lawyer is a little different than selecting other types of attorneys. Make sure your choice is both knowledgeable and experienced but also make sure their style and approach mirror yours. Pro-active or re-active, aggressive or passive, the lawyer you choose must be one with who you are comfortable and, of equal importance, one who is comfortable with you. The lawyer that was right for a friend or relative may not be the lawyer that will be right for you. We offer free in-office consultations so that you can get a better sense of the process generally and what is likely to happen in your matter specifically. Give us a call, it might be the most productive and informative hour you have spent in a long time.

SaugusBank Robbers Convicted and Sentenced to Life
An Essex Superior Court jury yesterday returned guilty verdicts on nearly all counts convicting two men in connection with a bank robbery that ended with a shoot-out with police in Malden in which one of the suspects was killed.
Michael Ginnetti, 40, of Winthrop, was convicted of 2 counts of Armed & Masked Robbery, 4 counts of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon, Possession of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony, Use of Body Armor in a Felony, and Carrying a Dangerous Weapon
Gabriel Megna, 49, of East Boston, was convicted of 2 counts of Armed & Masked Robbery, 4 counts of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon, Possession of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony, and Carrying a Dangerous Weapon.
Both men were found not guilty of Receiving a Stolen Motor Vehicle. Ginnetti pleaded guilty to a Firearm Violation with 3 Prior Violent or Drug Offense.
In her sentencing argument, Essex Assistant District Attorney Faitella reviewed the defendants' extensive criminal records and argued that, "these men are the very definition of career criminals and there is no way to protect the public from these individuals but to incarcerate them for life."
Judge David Lowy adopted the Commonwealth's sentencing recommendation and sentenced them both life concurrent with 30 to 35 years in prison.
ADA Faitella, along with Essex ADA Kim Gillespie, proved that on March 23, 2012, Michael Ginnetti and William Ekasala entered the Saugus Cooperative Bank at 412 Lynn Fells Parkway in Saugus wearing masks and armed with loaded firearms. Several bank employees were ordered to the ground at gunpoint. The defendants demanded cash from two bank tellers who filled black nylon bags with money also at gunpoint. The defendants fled the bank with the money in a red Honda Civic driven by Gabriel Megna. The defendants led the Saugus Police on a high speed pursuit into Malden where they then entered the Cliffside Commons Apartment Complex at 500 Broadway. The defendants, Megna and Ekasala, then allegedly carjacked a female whose 5 month old infant was in the backseat. After being ordered out of the female's car by Detective Michael Casaletto of the Malden Police Department, Gabriel Megna fled and William Ekasala attempted to carjack two other individuals and was fatally wounded after he exchanged gunfire with the police. Michael Ginnetti was located at the Granada Highlands, a nearby apartment complex. Detectives Sean Moynihan and Kevin Murphy located a loaded semiautomatic handgun and a black nylon bag filled with cash in his waistband. After a several hour search, Gabriel Megna was located hiding under a stairwell inside the Cliffside Apartments.
ADA Faitella and Gillespie commended the courage and poise demonstrated by the employees of the Saugus Cooperative Bank.
Additionally, they praised the work of Essex Victim Witness Advocate Ken Dixon and Alexandria Espinal of the District Attorney's Office.
Thanks to the bravery of the law enforcement agents involved, no innocent bystanders were physically injured. Faitella and Gillespie lauded the work of the Saugus Police Department, the Malden Police Department, State Police Detectives assigned to the Middlesex District Attorney's Office, and the Federal Bureau of Investigations Bank Robbery Task Force.
Mr. Ginnetti was represented by Attorney Peter Marano and Mr. Megna was represented by Attorney Michael Phelan.

Justin Morneau
Twins Trade Morneau To Pirates
The Minnesota Twins have traded Justin Morneau to the Pittsburgh Pirates, sending the veteran first baseman to a playoff-contending team for the final month of the season. The deal was done on Saturday before the deadline. The Twins obtained outfielder Alex Presley and either a player to be named or cash.
Morneau Homers, Perkins Closes & Twins Win 6-3
Justin Morneau had a season high four hits, including a two-run homer and a two-run double, and Glen Perkins struck out Miguel Cabrera with two on for the final out to help the Minnesota Twins hold off the Detroit Tigers in a 6-3 win Tuesday night.
Twins Place Justin Morneau On Waivers
The Minnesota Twins have placed first baseman Justin Morneau on revocable waivers. If Morneau is claimed before Wednesday's deadline, the Twins can work out a trade with the claiming team, let that team take his contract or pull him back and keep him in Minnesota.
Twins Activate OF Ramirez From Disabled List
The Minnesota Twins have reinstated outfielder Wilkin Ramirez from the disabled list after missing 69 games with concussion problems. Ramirez was first put on the disabled list on May 26. He struggled with lingering symptoms for quite a while before beginning a rehab assignment three weeks ago. Ramirez says he sought the counsel of Twins first baseman Justin Morneau, who has a long history with concussions.
White Sox Rally To Beat Twins 5-4
The double-digit losses and ERA over 5.00 are frustrating enough for Mike Pelfrey. Even worse for the Minnesota Twins right-hander is the lack of progress he's showing this season. "This is by far the worst season of my career," he said after a 5-4 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Saturday. "It started off brutal and I thought I was getting better for two months, but these last three starts have seemed as (bad) as the first two months." Pelfrey (4-10) lasted just five-plus innings, giving up five runs, four earned, and four hits with five walks. He left the game in the sixth inning after allowing the first two batters to reach on a single and a walk. The Twins' bullpen allowed both inherited runners to score to turn a 4-3 lead into a 5-4 deficit.
Morneau's Grand Slam Lifts Twins Past Chicago White Sox 7-5
Justin Morneau hit late two homers, including a grand slam, and the Minnesota Twins rallied to beat the Chicago White Sox 7-5 in the first game of a day-night doubleheader on Friday. The White Sox traded Alex Rios to Texas before the game and were headed toward their fourth straight win before things turned in the seventh inning.
Morneau And Arcia Homer, Twins Sweep Astros
Justin Morneau and Oswaldo Arcia homered as the Minnesota Twins beat the Houston Astros 3-2 Sunday for a three-game sweep. Four Twins relievers combined for four scoreless innings, sending Houston to its fourth straight loss. Arcia led off the seventh with a home run that broke a 2-all tie. He connected against Brad Peacock (1-4), who was promoted from Triple-A to make the start and struck out 10.
Good Question: Why Do Baseball Players Still Spit So Much?
In 2011, Major League Baseball and the players' union came to an agreement: For the most part, players wouldn't use chewing tobacco where fans can see them. So, while some players still dip, many have turned to sunflower seeds and chewing gum. Outfielder Chris Colabello estimated 70 percent of Twins players chew seeds or gum during the games.
Dozier, Morneau Homer In Minnesota's 4-0 Victory
Brian Dozier and Justin Morneau homered, Samuel Deduno pitched seven scoreless innings and the Minnesota Twins blanked the Seattle Mariners 4-0 Saturday. It was the fifth shutout of the season for Minnesota, which has won four of its last six games and is 6-3 since the All Star break. Brad Miller and Kyle Seager each had two hits for Seattle, which has lost three of four.
Herrmann's Slam Helps Twins Beat Angels 10-3 In 10
Chris Herrmann was shagging balls in right field during batting practice when he noticed manager Ron Gardenhire waving to get his attention. He suddenly sprinted off the field and was told that he, instead of Joe Mauer, was going to catch Kyle Gibson.
Correia Goes Six Innings As Twins Beat Indians 3-2
Kevin Correia threw six sharp innings for his first win in a month, Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau each had two hits and a walk, and Minnesota beat Cleveland 3-2 on Saturday night for its fourth-straight win. Correia (7-6) allowed only three hits — one of them a two-run homer by Jason Kipnis — with one walk and three strikeouts. The Indians entered the day 1½ games behind Detroit in the AL Central and led 2-0 after Kipnis' homer in the sixth. Corey Kluber,
Twins Beat Sabathia, Sloppy Yankees 10-4
Aaron Hicks hit a three-run homer a pitch after shortstop Eduardo Nunez made a two-out throwing error, and the Minnesota Twins took advantage of some Yankees miscues and misfortune to beat CC Sabathia for the first time in six years and end more than a decade of misery in the Bronx with a 10-4 win Sunday.
Rays Beat Twins 7-4
Yunel Escobar and Ben Zobrist homered during a three-run seventh inning and the surging Tampa Bay Rays beat the Minnesota Twins 7-4 on Monday night. Escobar had a leadoff tiebreaking homer in the seventh off Samuel Deduno (4-4), who departed after Desmond Jennings followed with a triple. Caleb Thielbar entered and got one out before Zobrist gave Tampa Bay a 6-3 lead with a two-run shot. Alex Torres (3-0) pitched a perfect seventh for the Rays, who have won nine of 10 and moved to a season-best 10-games (50-40) over .500. Escobar also had a sacrifice fly in the eighth.
Twins Blog: Staying In The Sport
Baseball has many players. I don't mean just those on the field. There are coaches, hundreds of employees who work front office and dozens groom the field. There are also the people who work in the stadium, the vendors, reporters, TV crews, merchandise sellers, fans, reporters. You get the idea. One of those guys who's "a part of the sport" is Gordy Jones. He's worn many hats throughout his career: a newspaper writer, blogger, photographer and most recently, children's author. "Baseball is my passion," Jones said. "I love kids and I like to do as many things as I can. I'm having more fun now than I've ever had in my life."
Is Justin Morneau's Home Run Power Back?
Is the power back on? It's a question a whole lot of Twin Cities residents were asking last week. And it's one that a whole lot of Twins fans were asking about in terms of Justin Morneau on Sunday night.

Noble 3
The Noble 3 is a complete overhaul of Wizard's original three-driver design, a process that involved lots of consultation with Knowles (leading balanced-armature driver manufacturer). With a 'V' shaped frequency response, the Noble 3 is characterized by a controlled, impactful, low end and far-reaching highs.
Noble 5
The Noble 5 was inspired largely by the demand for a universal version of the Noble 8C (eight-driver acrylic CIEM). With deep, thick layered, bass and highs that never fatigue the ear, the Noble 5 strikes a balance between fun and articulate.

Discounts coming?
When I got onto WDW site to price out a vacation package today it said that starting December 3rd there would be work done to the online reservation system and that it should be back up December the 4th. Seems like that happened last time when they put out the stay, play, and dine. Anyone have a guess as to when you think the discounts will be?
Please Please Please let it be Free Dining :)
fingers crossed...I saved a vacation price for a June trip that I had looked at on the Disney web site, then a couple of days later they sent an email with an offer number to call about (not a pin number). When I called the "offer" was just for resort rack rate...some offer....Disney, quit getting my hopes up...give us a discount!
We wait every year for the April discount to be released. For the last three years we have booked between Nov. 30th - Dec. 1.
I too am crossing my fingers for discounts this Monday. :thumbsup2 |
I would be SOOOOOO happy if Monday were discount day!! :rolleyes1 We've got our June trip all booked, so I REALLY want to get some of that credited back. it would be lovely!
HOLY COW!! I just thought of something.... Monday is our 180 days for making ADR's! Is the whole site going to be down or will I still be able to make dining reservations ? (hopefully someone knows....) |
Am I dreaming that a better deal than SPD will come up for February????
I hope so!!! It would make me REALLY happy to save a few bucks for our March vacation.
The paragraph starts: "Please be advised that we will be updating our systems to serve you better. During this enhancement, beginning on December 3 at 5 p.m. ET, online bookings and bookings through the Disney Reservation Center will be unavailable. We expect to return to full functionality by the afternoon of December 4. Please note that these dates and times are subject to change. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience." So your Monday morning festivities won't be affected, but I'd write down all your confirmation numbers to make sure. |
if I only read that first..... ;) |
Did anyone notice they changed the wording on the SPD offer? It no longer says "book by December 31st" It doesn't say when it ends.
Where are new discounts listed first? Do I check Mousesavers or the Disney Reservation website first? Others? Any thoughts?

On Friday 1st some of the world's best riders will sweep along the A170 with sprint points avaiaable in the town, The stage starts in Bridlington and goes through Dalby Forest before hitting Pickering then on through the North York Moors to Whitby with a finish in Scarborough.On the 2nd the race will start in Selby run across the Wolds to Beverly then sweep back into Ryedale through Norton and out on the south side of the A64 to a finish in York. We do have some availability but don't think it will last long. We and many others have lobbied long anf hard for this and are delighted to be able to welcome this fantastic event which builds on the success of Le Grand Depart of le TourdeFrance last year.
Great feedback
We continue to get great feedback in our guestbook and on review sites-Trip Advisor, Booking.com and Laterooms. Good to see that returners believe we are maintaining standards 10 years on
Christmas is a coming
Yes it is early November and the run up to Christmas is in full swing. Santa's Specials on the NYMR , festive decorations to see at Castle Howard, Burton Agnes, Nunnington Hall and Sledmere House, craft and christmas fairs every weekend. Christmas Lights switch on in Pickering 0n 29th November and in Thornton Le Dale a week later.
Also lots going on in York and on the coast including Whitby Christmas Market
Its nearly seasonal madness time
Remember seasonal madness rates apply during most of November to Easter. Also 3 for 2 and special returners deals
Bit of an update
The Lost Pink Sheep campaign is now over and seems to have generated some good publicity for the area -including a piece on BBC Countryfile. We saw many people photograph Purl in our window but only one young man realised that we might also be the place with the knitted egg cosy sheep (Mint and Sauce) and came for a picture holding them. The winner of our prize has been in touch and will be coming to stay next Spring. Well done all at North York sMoors National Parks.
It has been a busy summer and we have had lots of returners which is always good to see. this included our regular visitors from Japan, Canada, and Australia.
19 Burgate has takem off and we have had several repeat visits already-would suggest you get in early for next year as key dates are going fast.
Pat and I are still contemplating a different future but really do love the house and running it as a B and B-could be we just have more time off especially during the winter months.
I am running the Yorkshire marathon again on 12th October raising funds for MacMillan Cancer support-there is a Just Giving page on FB if you want to support.
War Weekend 2014
We have a room available for war weekend this year-minimum 4 night stay at a rate of £460 for 2 people 2 nights B and B. Just ring
Its Tour De France Week
So finally Le Grand Depart is only 1 week away-this time next week it will all be over. NO!!! This time next week it will just be starting!!! The actual weekend will be fun and fantastically supported but the key is the legacy-how we in Yorkshire build on the amazing opportunity this gives us. Welcome to Yorkshire and the Councils will set things up-but no good if the people walk away-we MUSN'T let this happen. We will be doing our utmost to support every initiative and spin off-hope everyone else gets on board. Handled properly the impact of Le Grand Depart will bring millions of visitors and billions of pounds to the region-well done to the team at Welcome to Yorkshire and now it is up to everyone in Tourism Yorkshire to perform this weekend and for many years to come
Lost Pink Sheep
Over 200 Pink (yes Pink) sheep have got lost all over North Yorkshire-if you can spot 3 of them you could win a fab prize by letting www.NorthYorkMoors.org.uk/PinkSheep know. great idea to support the Tour De France Grand Depart.
Tour de France Grand Depart
Yes the first 2 days of the Tour de France are in Yorkshire this year 5th and 6th July. Unfortunately the world's biggest annual sporting event is not coming to Pickering but does start in York on the 6th. However we are still right behind the event and delighted with Welcome to Yorkshire for having the imagination and determination to bring it here. There are many and various support events and activities before and during the weekend and plenty of ways to get involved/engaged-see www.yorkshire.com for details and links.
19 Burgate is just about ready
So our Holiday Cottage at 19 is just about ready for use-first guests just after Easter.
The website is being built and pictures are starting to appear on Twitter and Facebook .
We are looking forward to this new venture and hope it will give a new option to existing B and B guests

text: 5 Weapons Systems to Reduce Collateral Damage In the early days of the coalition air war over Libya, finding and destroying ground vehicles was easy because they were moving through the open desert. As the campaign progressed, Muammar Gaddafi's forces nestled closer to citiesand civilian buildingsto gain protection. Tactics like these in Iraq and Afghanistan have crated a boom industry in weapons that can strike targets without causing collateral damage. Technology has come a long way, and these are five of the best weapon technologies to do it. But the fact is air strikes will always come with a price. By David Hambling 1 of 5 CBU-107 Passive Attack Weapon Weight: 1000 pounds Status: In service "The starting point is reducing collateral damage, since it cannot be eliminated," according to defense analyst John Pike, director of GlobalSecurity.org. The best way to cut both collateral damage and friendly fire in air war is through advanced weapons systems that can contain their force within a tight radius. The PAW is a nonexplosive weapon designed for targets where blast and heat might be dangerous, such as fuel dumps in populated areas. After release from an aircraft, the PAW disperses a cloud of 3700 penetrator rods, steel and tungsten darts ranging from 1 ounce to 1 pound in weight. This metal hail zooming at over 600 mph saturates an area less than 200 feet across; the cloud stays concentrated because the rods are simply released from a casing and not blasted outward. In Iraq, the Air Force has used PAWs to destroy antennas on top of buildings without destroying the buildings themselves. In Libya, it could be used against radar dishes and military communications; Pike says that PAWs can also be used as antipersonnel weapons.

Friends! The guest room is complete! After we reclaimed the room from the nursery, I started plans for an ultimate guest room that would leave our guests feeling spoiled, relaxed, and welcome. After that, we chose a color scheme, a rug, and decided on a wall mural idea. I'm pretty passionate about giving guests a great experience that I even wrote a post about over 30 things a guest room needs! Our guest room isn't … [Read more...]
A few days ago, I asked you to weigh in on your opinion about these cute art pieces for the guest room! My fave is "Put your feet up and stay awhile." I think it defines the feeling of the room perfectly. I want my guests to come and have a place to relax. And since my motto is always go BIG or go home, I decided to paint it on the wall! So, I guess I'm screaming RELAX to them as they walk in the door!?! Is that an … [Read more...]

#1. Your house doesn't have to win an award to be a home. Friends, life is practice, and according to Malcolm Gladwell, you need to practice something for 10,000 hours before you can be an expert in a certain field. So, can I say I'm a decorating expert? Probably not. But, I can definitely tell you that I love to decorate. I have been obsessed with making a house feel like a home since my first apartment in college 15 … [Read more...]

This post is sponsored by 3M DIY just keepin' it real folks. It was long past the time to lay our leaf wall from 2010 to rest. It fought a good fight, and it had a great run.

It was time for a change for sure! I drew … [Read more...]
First of all, let me inform you from the get go, this post is going to be LOOOOOONG. Don't say I didn't warn you! Back when All Things Thrifty was an infant in early 2010, I painted this office and was the proudest person on the planet. I loved it. The leaf wall made me happy. In fact, the IKEA desk made me even happier. Three months later, I decided that I hated the desk on that wall because I couldn't keep it clean … [Read more...]
Who puts CARPET in a bathroom?!? We bought our house in 2009 not 1970, and although it wasn't a deal breaker for us, we haven't liked it since we moved in.

Lexee used to close her eyes when she walked by her daughters' room door. If you have kids you can probably relate. Her daughters' room was similar to most children's bedrooms.

So, she gave me the chance to attack this room and of course I couldn't resist. Lexee's girls are … [Read more...]

Mazda RX-8 Problems
If the climate control's heat/cold knob is not adjusting to the desired temperature, a new climate control unit may be needed.
Hesitation and/or a lack of power can be caused by the secondary shutter valve (SSV) in the intake manifold becoming stuck open due to carbon build up around the SSV shaft. This may occur with no Check Engine light illumination but eventually the light will illuminate with code P2070 (Secondary Shutter Valve [SSV] stuck open). The cleaning procedure described under the service bulletin is a long process and it is recommended to install the updated SSV actuator and gaskets. The SSV is activated at higher RPM and the carbon accumulation can happen when it opens infrequently. The effects RX-8's built before April 18, 2007.
I noticed about 50,000 miles the radiator light would flicker on and off. The engine temperature alwys stayed in the normal region and the radiator was full of fluid. The Mazda repair guy told me that this is accuring in a lot of the RX-8s. There is a plastic waffer on the gauge ball inside the radiator that measures the fluid. When the waffer starts breaking up, the gauge ball starts fluctuating greater sending a signal that the radiator is l...

Mazda RX-8 Recalls
This limited regional recall is for vehicles currently registered or first sold in southern Florida, along the Gulf Coast, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and Saipan. Upon deployment the passenger airbag inflator could rupture, increasing the risk of personal injury. Dealers will replace the passenger side air bag inflator to correct this concern. Note: this supersedes recall #14V-344.
This limited regional recall is for vehicles currently registered or first sold in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and equipped with Takata-brand air bag inflators. Upon deployment the driver and/or passenger airbag inflator could rupture, increasing the risk of personal injury. Mazda dealers will replace the affected airbag inflator modules to correct this concern.
Airbags use a chemical reaction contained in an inflator module to create the pressure necessary to inflate the bags when deployment is required. These vehicles are being recalled because the front passenger airbag inflator may produce excessive internal pressure when deployed and as a result, the inflator module could rupture, causing metal fragments to strike vehicle occupants. Dealers will inspect and replace any defective passenger front airbag inflator module found.
Mazda RX-8 Reviews
Beautiful and prestigious car but to unreliable and costly to maintain
I love my car. I have a 2004 Mazda grand touring edition rx8. I have 196,000 miles on it. This is the original engine. It still looks and runs like it is brand new. I am just now replacing the original clutch. I too have had some of the issues listed but not as many. The only major things that I had to replace is the water pump and the drivers side door handle because like another person tal...

Mike: I "used" you. I did. I'm sorry. And you learned some things about yourself that you'd rather not know. I'm sorry for that, too. You say I acted atrociously. Yes. I did. I do it for a living. (He gives her a salute and starts for the door.)
Ford: You sit down.
Mike: I'd love to, but I've got some things to do.
She cocks the gun.
(Of gun:) You can't bluff someone who's not paying attention.
Ford shoots him. He falls.
Mike: Are you nuts? What are you...nuts...?
Ford: I want you to beg me.
A radical turnabout occurs whereby the aloof victimizer becomes the casuality of his own folly, only to be replaced by Ford, who progresses onward to hone and define his criminal teachings, meticulously making them more her own. Ford's criminality is even more severe, for she turns into one of the criminally addicted patients that she (by her medical practice) is designated to help; her overall presence is refined, classy, learned, delicate, vulnerable, unsuspecting. Those are the worst kinds of lawbreakers: A friendy face on the outside, and something entirely different on the inside.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"The personalization was amazing and they did everything we asked. It came back just as asked. I am so happy with the design."
"As soon as I saw this invite I fell in love with it but it would not let me order a sample of the wedding invite. So, I opted to order a sample of the same design in a thank you card. It was everything I expected and more! I ended up ordering the wedding invite on pearl paper and bronze envelopes... wow stunning, dreamy, ethereal :) perfect for my garden wedding!"
"The whole process was so straight forward and stress free. The reviews and checking system in place is great and the communication throughout was flawless. The finished product is so beautiful and of such great quality. My wedding guests haven't stopped complimenting my invites. Thank you!"
"I order this product for a bridal shower for my daughter. I loved that they let you choose the option to review the design before they are mailed out. When I got them in the mail and opened them they were so Beautiful and my daighter loved them. I will use this site in the furture and I have already told my friends about this site. Thank you for doing a great job."
"I was going for something very sweet, classic and simply beautiful. This card lived up to my requirements and so happy when I received it. I chose the gold foil on blush colored paper with my name at the bottom. I kept the back simple with no pattern/photo/text on it and the corners were cut out. Even with these minimal designs, the card is absolutely lovely."

Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
13 Also the king defouled the high things, that were in Jerusalem at the right half of the hill of offence, that is, the hill of Olivet, which Solomon, king of Israel, had builded to Ashtoreth, the idol of Sidonians, and to Chemosh, the offence of Moab, and to Malcham, the abomination of the sons of Ammon; (And the king defiled the hill shrines that were east of Jerusalem, on the right side of the hill of offence, that is, south of the Mount of Olives, which Solomon, the king of Israel, had built for Ashtoreth, the false god of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh, the offensive god of Moab, and for Milcom, the abominable god of the Ammonites;) | 13 The king also desecrated the high places that were east of Jerusalem on the south of the Hill of Corruption--the ones Solomon king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the vile goddess of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the vile god of Moab, and for Molech the detestable god of the people of Ammon. |

Wollman Rink
Wollman Rink is a public ice rink in the southern part of Central Park, Manhattan, New York City. The rink was opened in 1949 with funds donated by Kate Wollman (December 5, 1869 – October 15, 1955) who donated $600,000 for the rink to commemorate her entire family from Leavenworth, Kansas. Historically, the rink has been open for ice skating from October to April and in the summer seasons is transformed into a venue for other purposes.
The rink had for many years been the venue for a series of outdoor summer rock concerts. The first summer music festival at the rink opened on July 1, 1966 and was sponsored by Rheingold Beer. The Rheingold Central Park Music Festival also took place during the summer of 1967.[1] The next summer, Schaefer Beer took over sponsorship. The first annual Schaefer Music Festival opened on June 27, 1968 and continued each summer through the summer of 1976.[1] The following summer, Dr Pepper became the sponsor, and the first Dr Pepper Music Festival opened on July 6, 1977 and ran annually through the summer of 1980.[1] The concert series subsequently moved to a pier on the west side of Manhattan.
Wollman Rink no longer hosts concerts, but in the summer it contains the Victorian Gardens Amusement Park.[1]
Wollman Rink has been featured in several movies, including Love Story and Serendipity.
The rink was closed in 1980 for an announced 2 1/2 years of renovations. When the work was not completed by 1986, Donald Trump persuaded Mayor Ed Koch to let him complete the work and he completed the renovations in three months to have it open by the end of the year. Koch initially objected to the proposal but public pressure prompted him to reverse his position.[2]
Wollman Rink is currently operated by the Trump organization, and is today known as the Trump Skating Rink. Donald Trump operated the rink from 1987 to 1991.[3] From 1991 to 2001 George Makkos from The Makkos Organization of M&T Pretzel, operated Wollman Rink. Since 2001, Wollman Rink has been operated by a joint venture between Trump Organization and Rink Management Services of Mechanicsville, Virginia. The Trump name is prominently displayed on the walls of the rink as well as on the Zamboni that maintains the rink. Operation of the Lasker Rink on the north edge of Central Park is also handled by the group.
In 1961 Kate's estate donated funds for Wollman Rink in Prospect Park which closed in 2010.
Kate's brother was William J. Wollman who operated the W.J. Wollman & Co stock exchange firm originally in Kansas City and later in New York. After he died in 1937 she helped administer his estate. Among her other philanthropies was paying for the schooling of great nephew Henry Wollman Bloch, founder of H&R Block.[4][5][6][7]

A global survey of IT managers from IDC has shown that the last majority
think that having the company hacked from the outside is highly
Of the companies questioned just 15 per cent thought that they would
lose data to hackers, with three times as many thinking employee
carelessness would cause a breach. However, if such an attack did occur
is would cause the most damage.
"The challenge when protecting an organisation from internal attack is
that traditional defences are designed to face outward, at the perimeter
of a network, whereas the inside of the network remains relatively free
of security controls," said Neil Campbell, global general manager
security solutions for Dimension Data, which sponsored the research.

employees often go unfunded. That's because organisations find it
difficult to demonstrate a return on investment for such training."
