NATURE-IN-WAITING Read Romans 8:19-25
Henrik rushed outdoors to see why Grandpa's dog, Blackie, was barking so loudly. He found Blackie jumping higher and higher, trying to reach a squirrel up in the apple tree. "Shame on you, Blackie," said Henrik as the squirrel loudly scolded from his perch in the tree. Henrik pulled the dog away.
Henrik decided to find Grandpa. As he headed for the tool shed, he saw Smokey, the cat, hiding in the grass and staring at some birds pecking at seeds on the ground. "Get away from those birds, Smokey," warned Henrik.
Hearing his grandson's voice, Grandpa came from the shed with two rakes. "How about helping me clean up the garden?" Grandpa asked. Henrik took a rake and followed Grandpa. "I can tell an owl was up in this tree the last few nights. Here's the fur and bones from some small animal the owl had for dinner."
Henrik frowned. "Grandpa, why do some of the animals eat each other?" he asked. "It seems so cruel."
Grandpa nodded. "Well, God's Word says that nature is groaning because of sin in the world," he said. "Ever since sin came into the world in the Garden of Eden, animals have suffered right along with people."
When Grandpa and Henrik carefully raked dead sticks and leaves from the flower bed, they saw tiny green shoots peeking above the ground. Grandpa pointed. "New life," he said. "It reminds me that someday God is going to make a brand-new world where animals won't be afraid of one another or harm one another. It's going to be more wonderful than we can imagine." He grinned at Henrik and added, "God rules over nature, in spite of sin." CEY
Do you feel sad that some animals have to kill others for food? Or that bigger animals often pick on smaller ones? A better day is coming for those who know Jesus. When you see new plants springing up, you can thank God that someday he will make all things new.
"The wolf and lamb will feed together. The lion will eat straw like the ox." Isaiah 65:25
God Will Make a New World
The Broken Eggshell (Read James 3:2-10)
"I hate you, Allen!" Tom shouted. "Don't ever come in my room again! You're a thief!"
"Whoa, there," called Grandpa, coming down the hall. "What's all this yelling about?"
"Tom says I stole his scissors, but I didn't," Allen called from his room. "He's a liar, and he better stay out of my room, too!" Allen slammed his door.
With a sigh, Grandpa checked into the incident. It wasn't long before he discovered Tom's scissors on the hall table. With angry words, both boys insisted the other had left them there.
"Quiet!" ordered Grandpa. He motioned for them to follow him and headed for the kitchen, where he placed an egg and an empty teacup on the counter. "Allen, you crack this egg into the cup," said Grandpa. The boys wondered what he was getting at, but Allen obeyed. "Now," said Grandpa, "Tom, you put the egg back into the shell again, pleasejust the way it was."
Tom frowned. "What do you mean?" he asked. "That's impossible, Grandpa. You can't fix a broken egg."
"Like Humpty Dumpty, eh?" Grandpa chuckled. Then he became serious. "The point is, there's something else like Humpty Dumptysomething that can't be easily mended. I'm thinking of feelings. You boys said some ugly things to each other. Taking words back is just as impossible as mending an egg." Both boys felt bad. "Never forget how harmful words can be," cautioned Grandpa. "God says the tongue is like a fire that cannot be put out. That's how much damage words can do. Even saying you're sorry doesn't make them disappear."
"I am sorry, though," Tom told his brother.
"Yeah . well . me too," replied Allen. "You can come in my room, if you want." D.F.
Are you careful about the words you speak, or do you say things before you think? Even when you say you're sorry, the other person may still remember those words you said. Ask God to help you tame your tongue.
"Don't use bad language. Say only what is good and helpful to those you are talking to, and what will give them a blessing."Ephesians 4:29, TLB
* Think before You Speak
Afraid of the Dark (Read 2 Corinthians 4:3-6)
Kim did her best to comfort Billy, the little boy she was baby-sitting, but he was terrified. A nightmare had awakened him, and he was sure that monsters were hiding in his room. "There's no such thing as a monster, Billy," Kim said as she sat on his bed and hugged him.
When she tried to tuck him under the covers, he clutched at her frantically. "I want my mommy!" he choked out between sobs.
"Listen, Billy," Kim soothed, "your mommy and daddy will be home later, but you're safe with me. I'll tell you whatwhy don't I leave the door open and turn on the hall light. I'll be right outside the door."
"I want my bear," Billy whimpered.
"All right." Kim placed the scruffy teddy in his arms. She dried his tears and then quietly left the room. "Please let him sleep," Kim prayed. And after Billy called out to her for reassurance several times, he did sleep.
Kim was tired when Billy's parents finally came home, but she perked up when they apologized for being late and paid her overtime. The extra money meant she would be able to buy the camera she'd been wanting.
At church the next day, a missionary showed slides of his work in India. The sound of the eerie pipe music filled the room. Kim saw people, their faces twisted by fear, offering sacrifices to cruel-looking idols. Why, she thought suddenly, they're just like Billy. They're scared of the darkonly the darkness they're afraid of is the darkness of evil. They need to know there's Someone to take care of them. They need the light of Jesus. Then something occurred to her. She had money. She could give some of it to help send them the gospel. The camera could wait for a while. A.L.
Have you been afraid of the dark? Can you imagine how much worse it would be to be surrounded by the darkness of evil, with no knowledge that God loves you or that Jesus died for you? Think about what you can do to help send the light of the gospel to the people who live in such darkness.
"The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned."Isaiah 9:2, NIV
* Reach These in Spiritual Darkness
In His Arms (Read Isaiah 40:28-31)
Lesa tore open the door and stumbled down the hallway. "Mother! Mother!" she called. "Is it true?"
"Settle down there, Lesa." Dad met her and put an arm around her shoulders. "What's wrong?"
"David said his mom doesn't have a job anymore, and that all the plant workers have been laid off. It must be trueyou're home, too!" exclaimed Lesa. "Daddy, if you don't have your job anymore, how will we pay Kari's doctor bills?"
Just then, Mom came down the steps with baby Kari. Kari's eyes lit up when she saw Lesa, and she eagerly-reached out her hands. Dad let Lesa out of his bear hug so that she could take Kari. Lesa couldn't help remembering when Kari was sick and had to go to the hospital so often. She was such a quiet and dull baby then, not at all like the bright, happy baby she was now. She squeezed her little sister even tighter in her arms.
Dad saw the tight hug Lesa gave Kari. "Lesa, whose arms are holding Kari?" he asked.
"That's a funny question," said Lesa. "My arms are. Why did you ask that?"
"Well," said Dad, "is she really safe in your arms? Maybe I should take her."
Lesa looked puzzled. "But, Dad, you and Mom have taught me to be very careful with Kari. I'm in fourth grade, you know. Why don't you trust me with Kari now?"
Dad smiled. "Actually, I do," he said. "I'll leave her with you. But think about thisyou're worried because I'm out of work. I know it's a scary thought, and I'll admit that Mom and I feel a little shaky about it, too. But we decided to leave it in the arms that are holding us."
Lesa stared blankly at her father for a minute, and then she smiled. "God's arms," she said simply. Yes, it was true. God's arms were underneath her family. He would hold them tight, no matter what happened with Dad's job. P.J.
Are you worried about your future? Has your mom or dad been laid off or lost a job? Remember, God knew it was going to happen before you did, and he knows what to do about it. Trust him.
"The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms."Deuteronomy 33:27, NKJV
* Rest in His Arms
Mystery Soup (Read 1 Samuel 16:6-13)
The front door slammed, signaling that John was home from school. When he didn't burst into the kitchen as usual, Mother checked on him. "What's wrong?" she asked the glum-faced boy sitting on the sofa.
John scowled. "I have to work on a social studies project with that new boy, Stefan," he mumbled. "You should see him. His pants are too short, his socks never match, and his hair's always a mess."
"But what makes you think he wouldn't be a good project partner?" asked Mother.
"I just told you," grumbled John. "If you could see him, you wouldn't ask that question."
Just then there was a loud clunk in the kitchen. They both hurried to the kitchen, where they found John's two-year-old brother, Travis, surrounded by cans from the cupboard, many with the labels peeled off. "Oh, no," moaned Mother, looking at the mess. After thinking a moment, she said, "John, you can help me. Would you tape the labels back on these cans, please? I want them done neatly."
"But which label goes on which can?" asked John.
"Don't worry about that," Mother said. "Just make sure it looks nice. Then let's have one that says `Corn' for dinner."
"But, Mom," protested John, "if you just slap the labels on any old can, the outside might not match what's inside."
"So the outside appearance isn't really important, is it?" asked Mother. She smiled at John. "That's something I think you should remember. You've already judged Stefan because of how he looks. You've slapped a label on him without knowing what's on the inside. Find out what Stefan is like as a persondon't just judge him on his looks."
John thought about it. "Maybe I should get to know him," he decided. "But what are you going to do about those cans?"
Mother laughed. "I guess we'll be having mystery soup for a while." S.P.Z.
Do you judge people by the way they look or dress? Do you label them without finding out what is inside? God doesn't judge on outward appearances, and neither should you. Try to discover what's in the heart.
"The Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."1 Samuel 16:7, NKJV
* Don't Judge by Appearance
Battered Bears (Read 1 Timothy 5:1-4)
As Jenny gave her battered old teddy bear a hug before setting him on her pillow, her brother, Adam, walked past her bedroom door. "Why don't you give that ratty old thing a decent burialin the garbage can?" asked Adam, laughing at his own joke.
"Be quiet, Adam," shouted Jenny. "You're not funny."
Mother appeared in the doorway. "Let's go, kids," she said. Jenny made a face. They were going to visit Great-Aunt Catherine at the nursing home. Her mind was no longer alert, and the children hated visiting her.
At the nursing home, they found Great-Aunt Catherine sorting through ancient photographs, as usual. Mother talked gently to her about the past while the children drew pictures. Jenny sketched a funny picture of her great-aunt and some of the other old folks and showed it to Adam, and they snickered together in the corner. They didn't notice Mother until she pulled the sketch from Adam's hand.
Back home, Mother steered the children to Jenny's room. She took the teddy bear from the bed. "Jenny, you didn't like Adam making fun of your bear," she said. "I guess you still love it, even though its fur is rubbed off and one eye is missing, right?" Jenny nodded. "Well," said Mother, "I love Great-Aunt Catherine, even though she's old. She raised me after my parents died. It hurts me to see you make fun of herjust like it hurt you, Jenny, when Adam made fun of this bear."
"I'm sorry," murmured Jenny. Both children were ashamed of their attitude that morning.
"God commands us to honor and respect old people, even though they may have broken bodies and childlike minds," continued Mother. "They have spent their lives in service to their families and friends. Now it's our turn to be of service to them. Will you both please try to remember that?"
Jenny and Adam nodded solemnly. Adam even gave the old teddy bear a gentle pat as he left the room. E.C.O.
Have you ever made fun of older people? Do you get impatient with the elderly members of your church or family when they cannot move fast or when they tell the same stories over and over? Proverbs 16:31 says that gray hair is a crown of glory. Treat older people with honor and respect.
"You shall rise before the gray headed and honor the presence of an old man."Leviticus 19:32, NKJV
* Respect the Elderly
Allen's Allergies (Read Psalm 34:12-16)
"Mom, the itchy spots are back on my skin," Allen said, holding out his arms. "I have bumps on my legs, too."
"Oh, Allen," said Mother, "your allergies are acting up again. I haven't changed the laundry detergent or any of our soaps. I can't imagine what caused this reaction, can you?"
Allen scratched his arms as he thought. "When I was over at Bob's this morning, his mom had some stuff out to the send to the mission," he said. "Bob and I dressed up in some of his dad's old camouflage clothes. I suppose they were washed in something I'm allergic to."
"I suspect that's it," said Mother. "Go take a shower, and then we'll get your prescription refilled."
As Allen and his mother drove home after picking up the medicine, Allen sighed. "It's hard to remember that I need to be careful about what touches my skin," he said. "We were having so much fun that I didn't even think about it." He rubbed his arms. "My allergies remind me, though," he added. "It's too bad they don't remind me ahead of time!"
"Isn't that the truth!" agreed Mother. She smiled at her son. "You know," she added, "dressing in those clothes was innocent fun, and it's too bad you have to avoid things like that. But you do, or you get this negative reaction. There are other things that we need to be very careful to avoid, too, even though they seem like innocent fun. We need to think about the consequences before getting involved in those things."
"Like what?" asked Allen.
"Well, . like watching bad TV shows, or reading dirty books, or going places where we'll be tempted to do wrong," said Mother. "Those kinds of things, like any sinful activity, will stir up a negative reaction in our lives. We need to ask the Lord to remind us to avoid things that will harm us." N.E.K.
Are you allergic to anythingfoods, bees, medicine, weeds, soap? if so, you know it's best for you to avoid those things, Sin can cause a very bad reaction in your life as well, Try to avoid sinful things so you can avoid their consequences, too,
"Keep away from every kind of evil."1 Thessalonians 5:22, TLB

"Cheat you on the time they claim you have to buy"
It loaded fine but soon it was not working properly.
I upgraded for free for 30 days after I downloaded their AVG Antivirus Free 2013. It went fine except they claimed I was getting 30 days free trial,, well after about three hours it jumped to 29 days and I had also downloaded their Speedtest and it worked for about two hours then took away the rest of the One day they had promised for it. I'm not sure AVG is a company anyone should try unless you want to be ripped off. There was also no way until you pay for it to make a complaint, so here I am complaining! If they can't keep their word no one should trust them enough to purchase.

Ray Rice Workout
Ray Rice's workout and training routine focuses on conventional exercises specifically compound movements. Some of Rice's preferred workouts are here:
Shoulder shrugs: Rice says that doing shoulder shrugs keeps his shoulders and upper body healthy from all the hits he has to take and blocking he has to do. This is also a great exercise to work the traps and the fast twitch muscle fibers. The traps have a high distribution of fast twitch muscle fibers. These fibers have great potential to generate explosive power than their slow twitch counterparts, in addition to growing quicker.
Incline bench press: Rice believes that the incline bench press is a great exercise for maintaining a stable and healthy chest. The exercise also provides him with a stronger stiff arm to fight off blockers and to run for more yardage. Rice can do about 225 lbs. for 8 reps. This is also a great exercise to work the shoulders and anterior deltoids, working more of these muscles than the flat bench or decline bench do.
Ray Rice has one of the more impressive physiques in the NFL. At only 5'8, he has a
very compact body at 210 lbs, which gives him a lot of added power in his shortened frame.
If you are an athlete and want to improve in your sport, you must follow a precise strength training, conditioning, and nutrition program. MP45 is a step-by-step athlete workout program that walks you through exactly what to do to excel as an athlete. This is the type of training and nutrition followed by many of the world's top professional athletes.

For his abdominal training, Rice does a lot of cable work, specifically twisting motions that work his stabilizer muscles in his core. In addition, Rice hangs from a pull-up bar, doing workouts such as sit-ups and reach ups. This allows him to be more explosive on the field. The fact that he works his abs out with such vigor, allows him to have tremendous balance so he can get in and out of cuts quicker and absorb big hits and contact much easier with staying in line on his routes.
The 5'8, 210 lb. running back of the Baltimore Ravens has emerged as one of the best running backs in the NFL.

What's Expected At Tom Cotton's Formal Announcement For Senate
After much anticipation, Republican Congressman Tom Cotton is expected to formally enter the race for Senate Tuesday evening, challenging incumbent Mark Pryor.
KUAR's Michael Hibblen spoke with Roby Brock of Talk Business Arkansas about what's expected at the event in Cotton's hometown of Dardanelle and the campaign ahead. They also discuss issues that could be used against Cotton by Pryor's campaign.
The race for the Arkansas Senate seat is one of several across the country next year that are expected to decide the balance of power in the Senate. That is expected to make this the most expensive state race in Arkansas history.

[Windows] Hide open windows and programs with NCS WinVisible
Posted By Briley Kenney On June 26, 2013 @ 9:39 AM In Windows | 1 Comment
[1]A lot of households have a computer that's used by multiple family members. Unfortunately, while it's certainly a practical way to make use of a computer it does sacrifice individual privacy. Any window, application or website that you leave open for later is one that other users can also browse. This can cause a lot of issues, especially when you have users that are prone to closing down open windows- which you need to remain open. In my house, my significant other is always closing down open windows which contain content related to my work. One way to combat this problem, would be to hide open windows from immediate view. NCS WinVisible is a free Windows application that will hide, reveal (unhide), or kill any running programs.
Main Functionality
NCS WinVisible is a Windows application that will allow you to hide, reveal, or terminate open applications/windows/programs. It's also tied to hotkey shortcuts, making it easier to operate the various functions associated with it. It's ideal for times when you need to leave a window or two open, but would like to hide them from normal view.
[2]The installation package is offered in a compressed archive which means you will need to use a tool like WinZip, WinRAR or 7Zip to extract the related files. Once extracted, you can then install the program. I did not encounter any bloatware during the install process, but that doesn't mean every recurring version of the software will be safe.
NCS WinVisible is pretty easy to use. When you start it up you will see a small window, with a top menu bar and a single listbox. Obviously, it queries running applications and displays them in the list automatically. Keep in mind, the application only handles running programs. With it, you cannot hide open directories or folders.
To hide application windows, you just have to select the related entry in the list and click the 'Hide Selected Window' button in the top menu bar. You can also use the designated hotkey shortcut to do it quickly and efficiently. You can terminate programs or reveal them the same exact way, but with different buttons or hotkeys of course. The default hotkey setup to hide apps is to use the 'Shift+Alt+H' keys, and to unhide it's the 'Shift+Alt+S' keys.
When a window or application has been hidden it does not appear in the taskbar at all, nor do any icons appear in the system tray. However, the process still appears in the Windows Task Manager list. This is an issue with Windows itself, because if apps were able to hide from the Task Manager there would be no way to terminate malicious software. Therefore, just keep that in mind. Resourceful computer users will still be able to discern what apps are running in the background if they know how to access the Windows Task Manager. That being said, they cannot gain access to the hidden apps or processes unless they use WinVisible.
[3]The application settings for WinVisible can be accessed by pressing on the big gear button. It's split into two tabs, one for general settings and the other for hotkeys. Obviously, the hotkeys tab allows you to customize the keys associated with the different app functions. You can also disable the hotkey used to terminate apps, that way you don't risk accidentally killing your work.
The general tab includes settings to configure how WinVisible and the hidden apps work. Here's the list of options:
You can also designate what happens to hidden applications after you close WinVisible. For example, hidden windows can become visible, remain hidden, or be forced to close altogether.
For reference, WinVisible uses nearly 11,000KB of RAM while running.
[4]WinVisible is a simple Windows application that allows you to hide, reveal (unhide), or terminate (close) running programs and open windows. It's ideal for times when you want to quickly hide windows from someone else. However, resourceful users can just scan the Windows Task Manager or pull up WinVisible to see what windows have been hidden. So you should not use WinVisible as an end-all-be-all security program — it's really only efficient when dealing with users who are not quite so tech savvy. That being said, it works as advertised and uses remarkably few system resources. Although, I would like to see some sort of password lock implemented in order to gain access to the WinVisible window, the program as it stands is good enough for quickly hiding open windows and programs. Check it out if you need such functionality.

Driving towards a smarter future
PUBLISHED: 26 Jul 2012 00:46:00 | UPDATED: 26 Jul 2012 10:16:13PUBLISHED: 27 Jul 2012 PRINT EDITION: 27 Jul 2012Tony Davis
A new system from BMW known as ConnectedDrive is expected to change the way we use cars.
Here's how enormous the change will be: today's car is a plain "dumb phone", with a small black-and-white screen. It makes phone calls and allows you to play simple games.
Tomorrow's car will be a smartphone, bringing almost every service to your pocket, so to speak, in a user-friendly, constantly updatable way.
"There will be a revolution," says Eckhard Steinmeier, at BMW's Munich headquarters. He's in charge of BMW's in-car connectivity program and the originator of the phone analogy.
He believes changes that are taking place will quickly add up to one of the biggest advances in the history of motoring.
"It will change the whole way cars are designed," he says.
To demonstrate the magic that in-car connectivity can bring, Steinmeier points to the health benefits of something that is available in Europe: the SOS button.
There's nothing glamorous about it – quite the opposite – and many will at first think they don't need it. But it's likely to be in every car once owners and legislators realise the benefits.
The best-known advantage follows a crash.
The sensors alert emergency services to the severity of the impact and a voice comes through the speakers immediately, checking if you and your passengers are OK (in Europe, they use whatever language you have keyed into the satellite navigation).
If there's no response, they will despatch help to the coordinates where your car is located.
Or maybe you initiate the call: you are being followed, or you've run out of fuel in a dangerous place with no mobile reception (the SOS will default to whatever communication system will get the message through). Perhaps you've arrived at the scene of someone else's accident – it's an older car with no such system – and an ambulance is needed.
But here's the real surprise use, particularly germane to an ageing population.
According to BMW, 50 per cent of the people who have lifted back the plastic protector cover and pushed the red SOS button haven't had automotive issues.
They've had chest pains. They may not have been well enough to find their phone and dial a number, or to work out their location. But they needed help. Steinmeier says lives have been saved.
In BMW's case, the SOS button is part of a bigger system known as ConnectedDrive (hey, even the words are joined).
Some of the benefits we've already heard about, such as real-time traffic information.
But the latest system – just launched in Europe – is a great deal smarter because it collects information, anonymously, from thousands of taxis, courier vehicles, police cars, road sensors and ConnectedDrive BMWs themselves.
It crunches all the information and beams it back, detecting a traffic jam as it is happening rather than after. Today, it can automatically map out an alternative route.
Tomorrow, it will be able to pick up information from other vehicles to warn your car about black ice ahead, a stationary vehicle around a blind bend, or a monstrous pothole.
It could alert council to the pothole too. Which would be about bloody time.
In entertainment terms, connectivity can mean your smartphone's display being replicated on the vehicle display (wirelessly, of course), and controllable via the car switches and dials, or touchscreen.
It means the live streaming of music and movies (the latter for the backseat passengers, one hopes), and an ability to access the internet (as many new cars can).
A chat with a BMW call centre, via a steering wheel-mounted button, can suggest a museum worth visiting or a car park near your destination.
We tested this one; the woman in the dashboard (a real person, we should add, though in an office chair somewhere else) not only recommended places to visit, but beamed the locations directly into the satnav so the car could take us there.
Parking electronically doesn't quite have the wow factor any more, except BMW has a prototype system that will slot a car into a garage – after you've hopped out.
Similarly, it has a so-called queuing assistant. This can automate the annoying accelerator and brake dance in stop-start traffic.
It will soon steer for you as well in certain circumstances, although Steinmeier says BMW policy is that "responsibility is with the driver. He must have the chance to overrule the system".
Three years ago, BMW demonstrated a 3-Series sedan travelling around the notoriously challenging old Nurburgring circuit at racing speeds, with every function automated.
However, autonomous driving on public roads is far more complex even at low speeds, because there are so many more variables, including cars travelling in both directions. And is that a plastic bag blowing across the road, for example, or a small white dog?
It's not hard to see why the big companies have rooms full of people doing nothing but algorithms for these next-generation systems.
The integration of smartphone apps means ConnectedDrive customers can unlock or relock their cars from great distances, find them in crowded car parks and turn the heating on in advance.
More controversially, they can access Facebook and Twitter on the move and have their emails read out. Soon they'll be able to speak their emails or Tweets straight into the system. Isn't that dangerous?
"I think it is comparable to a telephone call," says Steinmeier.
He has been heavily involved in artificial reality and believes amazing things are possible.
A car could recognise landmarks, for example, when you are sightseeing. It could project labels on the windows identifying castles and churches. These labels would line up with the monuments, irrespective of which seat you were looking from.
Such labelling is in prototype form, although it uses 3D-type glasses and identifies parts and assemblies for mechanics servicing complex cars. Safety systems will be a huge beneficiary. Cars can already recognise pedestrians (Volvo is arguably the leader there, but everyone else is working hard), plus other vehicles – even unlit ones in the dark – and slippery road conditions.
BMWs will soon also recognise a driver's mood. Strange as it sounds, Steinmeier says research using facial recognition technology and other sensors is advanced. The immediate benefit he gives is "mood-based" music playlists. No, really.
The car could change the soundtrack depending on the time of day, or if you were driving through a forest or by the sea. Recognition of a driver who is tired is already possible, but what about if he is angry?
Steinmeier won't comment on whether the car would do anything to calm him or her down.
Mood detection is part of a bigger picture where the car knows everything about the owner.
Steinmeier says the car of the future will be like a butler, or a concierge. "There is so much information coming into the car, it would be overkill," he says. "The car has to find out your situation and make suggestions."
He describes a car that is not too far away that will wake you up early because it knows there is heavy traffic and you have a flight.
"It will put a new route of the navigation system to the airport and know you are short of fuel, so it will take you to the fuel station which is cheapest on the way," Steinmeier says.
Or perhaps, if it really does know your mood, it won't bother. Do your own planning, grumpy pants!

Helen WoodsonPeace activist receives 51-month prison term
A 61-year-old peace activist was sentenced to 51 months in prison Wednesday for threatening federal officials and pouring red paint and cranberry juice on a federal courthouse security station. Helen Woodson previously served 20 years in federal prison for a 1984 incident in which she and three others used a jackhammer to chip the concrete cover of a nuclear missile silo near Whiteman Air Force Base near Knob Noster. Before hearing her new sentence, Woodson told Chief U.S. District Judge Dean Whipple that she would stage another symbolic protest immediately after serving whatever term he imposed. What you will be doing today is setting the date for my next action, and I invite you to be there that day, Woodson said. Whipple responded by calling her a freeloader who had depended on her friends and taxpayers to care for children that she adopted before going to prison after the Whiteman protest. You have taken a whole life from the seven children you adopted and abandoned, Whipple said, referring to her pre-sentence report. You abandoned three developmentally disabled children to be cared for by other persons and public institutions. You're a very selfish, self-centered person. That's a disgrace. After the hearing, Carl Kabat, a Catholic priest and co-defendant in the Whiteman case, defended Woodson, saying the children had been well-cared for by friends after she went to prison. Woodson was detained by deputy U.S. marshals on March 10 after she threw a mixture of red paint and cranberry juice, which resembled blood, on a security desk and screening device at the U.S. District Courthouse. The day before, she had mailed threatening letters to judges and the commander at Whiteman. She followed those the next morning with similar letters titled Second Warning. And before coming to the courthouse on March 10, she made a threatening phone call to a courthouse employee, saying there was a weapon of mass destruction in the building. Three days after her 1993 release from prison in the Whiteman silo protest, Woodson walked into an Illinois bank and used an unloaded! starter pistol to get $25,000 from a teller. According to press reports, she piled the money on the floor, burned it and told witnesses: Money is evil. You don't believe in God; you only worship money. Whipple will decide later how much time Woodson still must serve for violating the probation she received in the Illinois bank case. In either case, her latest 51-month sentence must be served consecutively to the remaining time from Illinois because of her unwillingness to abide by the terms of probation, Whipple ruled. Addressing Whipple before sentencing, Woodson explained her protest in March. She contended that much evil in society including nuclear weapons, toxic chemicals, abortion and capital punishment is legal. The laws of the United States, upheld by the federal courts, are thus themselves weapons of mass destruction, Woodson said. And so my warning was, and is, the truth. |

With a lure of record crowds, Northwest Louisiana has landed the 2012 Bassmaster Classic.
BASS vice president and general manager Tom Ricks says the group will be partnering again with the Shreveport Regional Sports Authority, which helped put on the 2009 Classic.
Last year's Classic attracted 137,700 visitors, obliterating the previous record of 82,600, set in New Orleans in 2003.
The attendance at the 2009 Bassmaster Classic Expo was 60,123 - far exceeding the previous one-day high of 19,151 from 2003.
The official announcement was to be made Thursday at the 2010 Classic in Birmingham, Ala.
Next year's will be in New Orleans.

Finding comic section lacking, student creates comic strip
May 5, 2012 at 12:05 a.m.
Updated May 6, 2012 at 12:06 a.m.
If you have something you'd like to be considered for publication in the Advocate, send it our way!
Please address your submission to the editorial department at 311 E. Constitution St., Victoria, TX, 77901. You also may email to email@example.com or directly upload photos and cartoons to Your Photos on our website.
Like lots of kids - and some adults, for that matter - comics are Kyle Weishan's favorite part of the newspaper.
He likes the old school ones, like Beetle Bailey, but as of late, Kyle has been less than impressed with the quality of entertainment coming from the comic section.
"I thought I should liven it up a bit," the seventh-grader said in a letter to the Advocate.
So Kyle, a 12-year-old who attends Howell Middle School, drew up a comic strip starring a monkey named Bobo and the adventures he gets into with a juice box named John and a cherry named Charlie. At the urging of his father, he sent in his creation to the Advocate, hoping to appeal to kids like him.
"It seems like ... a lot of people older are making comics. I think they need a kid experience," Kyle said.
Using insults like "banana-brained chimp" and "freaky fruit face," Kyle's comic has both the dialogue and the art necessary to capture a middle school mind. He said he draws pretty much each day, and kids at school often enlist him to create some custom art for them.
At first he was worried his comic wouldn't make the cut into the newspaper, but fighting his fear of rejection, he sent it in anyway.
"I started thinking of stuff, and I thought I might as well try," he said. "It turned out to be really good."
We couldn't agree more, Kyle.

Why same car and same tyres doesn't mean same results...
We take a look at which drivers have the upper hand over their respective team mates a third of the way into the 2006 Formula One season. Part two - BMW Sauber, Williams, Red Bull, Toro Rosso, Midland and Super Aguri.
BMW Sauber - Nick Heidfeld, Jacques Villeneuve
As the points tally indicates, there has been little to separate the two BMW Sauber drivers. Whatever BMWs reasons were for keeping Villeneuve, the former champion has surely done enough to justify his seat. He has matched the highly-regarded Heidfeld in qualifying and race. In fact, Villeneuves consistency has arguably been the greater, with three point-scoring finishes to Heidfelds two. Theirs is surely another battle unlikely to be resolved before the latter end of the season.
Qualifying: 3-3
Race: 3-3
Points: Heidfeld 6, Villeneuve 6
Williams - Mark Webber, Nico Rosberg
Rosbergs has been one of the most talked about talents of the 2006 season to date. Take the overall picture, however, and more experienced team mate Webber has more than kept him in check. Despite three retirements to Rosbergs two, Webber has scored 50 percent more points and out-qualified the young German an all but one occasion. Thats not to say Rosberg hasnt been doing a fine job - quite the opposite in fact. Highlights have included fastest race lap on his Formula One debut in Bahrain, third on the grid in Malaysia, and a highly convincing drive at the Nurburgring from 22nd on the grid to seventh at the flag. He has also finished in the points twice - the same number of times as Webber. If any team mates on the grid are going to push each other to bigger and better things, it is surely the Williams duo.
Qualifying: 5-1 Webber
Race: 3-1 Webber (neither driver finished in Malaysia and Australia)
Points: Webber 6, Rosberg 4
Red Bull Racing - David Coulthard, Christian Klien
There has been plenty of talk in the paddock over Kliens future with Red Bull, even though his performance has at least matched that of veteran team mate Coulthard. The teams reliability has been poor (just five race finishes) and the drivers have taken just a single point apiece. Take a look at qualifying and the scores are again pretty much level. Klien started the season well, making the top-ten shootout (something Coulthard has yet to do) at the first two rounds, but in recent races, where the team have struggled for pace, the Scot has had the edge. Kliens problem is that if he is to assure himself of a Formula One future, then he really needs to do more than merely match his team mate. And just to add to the pressure he knows Red Bull have a whole stable of young drivers ready and waiting to take his place.
Qualifying: 3-3
Race: 2-1 Klien (neither driver finished in Malaysia, San Marino and Europe)
Points: Coulthard 1, Klien 1
Toro Rosso - Vitantonio Liuzzi, Scott Speed
No points yet for the former Minardi team yet, though Speed did come home eighth in Australia only to lose the place for a yellow-flag infringement. He was subsequently classified ninth, which remains Toro Rossos best result to date. That doesnt mean Speed has had the edge over team mate Liuzzi though. In the two races that both have finished, it has been the Italian in front. Liuzzi has also dominated the qualifying battle, bettering the American rookie on five out of six occasions.
Qualifying: 5-1 Liuzzi
Race: 4-2 Liuzzi
Points: Liuzzi 0, Speed 0
Midland - Christijan Albers, Tiago Monteiro
Towards the rear of the grid it is often harder to distinguish between team mates form and at Midland there is no exception. On more than one occasion Albers and Monteiro have spent Sunday afternoon locked largely in a race of their own, often the result of a closely-contested qualifying hour the previous day. Albers has had the advantage on Saturdays, but race comparisons are harder, as only twice have both men made the flag. Albers finished one place up on Monteiro in Malaysia, while at the Nurburgring the order was reversed. The teams Johnny Herbert says his two drivers are very different in their approach to Formula One racing, but so far the results are remarkably similar.
Qualifying: 4-2 Albers
Race: 4-2 Monteiro
Points: Albers 0, Monteiro 0
Super Aguri - Takuma Sato, Yuji Ide/Franck Montagny
No surprises here, with Sato dominating newcomer Ide in the opening four races. As expected, the former BAR star comprehensively out-qualified and out-raced the Japanese rookie. Less expected was Ide losing his seat following FIA intervention over his driving standards. His stand-in at the European and Spanish rounds, former Renault tester Montagny, may not have beaten Sato yet, but has at least been pretty much on his pace. If he continues with the team, few will be surprised to see him occasionally upstage his more experienced partner.
Qualifying: 6-0 Sato
Race: 6-0 Sato
Points: Sato 0, Ide/Montagny 0
Back to Part One.

Blackburn V Stoke at Ewood Park : Match Preview
Yakubu form gives Kean hopeBlackburn manager Steve Kean believes the goal threat of veteran striker Ayegbeni Yakubu can help steer his side to Barclays Premier League safety.Despite being forced to play a lone attacking role for a team that has been battling against relegation for most of the season, the Nigerian has still managed to notch an impressive 13 goals this season, 12 of them in the league.Yakubu added another two during Blackburn's stunning win at Manchester United on Saturday.It leaves him fifth in the Premier League scoring charts, and only five adrift of Golden Boot favourite Robin van Persie, whose performances at Arsenal have attracted such attention this term.Van Persie's importance to the Gunners cannot be understated.But the same is also true of Yakubu, a bargain #1.5million arrival from Everton on transfer deadline day."It is fairly obvious," said Kean."When you see the amount of goals he has got now, we are desperate to keep him fit."We look after him. He is in as good a physical condition as he has been in his career and we manage him during the week."There are times when we need to give him an extra recovery day because of the amount of mileage he is doing."We don't ask him to run to the channels. We just ask him to play the width of the box."We know if we can give him good service, he can get himself some goals."Gael Givet is set to make a welcome return.Givet has missed four games after being forced to undergo a procedure to correct an irregular heartbeat but has now been given the all clear to resume his career.David Dunn, Martin Olsson and Junior Hoilett (all hamstring) should also be added to the squad.Meanwhile, assistant manager Dave Kemp is anticipating a stiff test at Ewood Park as Stoke aim to build on one of the greatest years in their history with a winning start to 2012.In addition to securing a fourth consecutive season of Premier League football, the Potters reached their maiden FA Cup final in 2011, which in turn led to a first European campaign in almost four decades.A mouthwatering last-32 tie against Valencia awaits when the Europa League resumes in February but first Stoke must seek to consolidate their top-half place in the league.Ahead of Stoke's journey to Lancashire, Kemp said: "It was always going to be a tough game, as they all are, and it will obviously boost their confidence."They have had a good holiday period, getting a point at Liverpool and winning at Old Trafford, but it's up to us to go there and deal with it."We'll rest ourselves up, get ourselves ready and make sure we're ready to go."Stoke once again have doubts over the fitness of full-back Andy Wilkinson.Wilkinson, who has been sidelined recently with a back problem, returned to the Potters' starting XI for Saturday's 2-2 draw with Wigan, but limped off early in the second half after taking a knock to his knee earlier in the match.Republic of Ireland midfielder Glenn Whelan may also be unavailable after missing the last three games with a calf injury, while Cameron Jerome could be handed a rare league start after impressing from the bench against Wigan.

text: After five straight losses to Atlanta this season and nine straight going back to last season, the Washington Nationals finally stopped the Braves, shutting them down 2-0 Wednesday night at Turner Field. Jordan Zimmerman allowed just two hits over eight innings and outpitched Paul Maholm for the win. Ian Desmond hit a two run homer to account for all the scoring in the game, that coming in the fourth inning. Zimmerman also struck out eight and retired seventeen straight batters before he gave way to closer Rafael Soriano in the ninth, as he completed the shutout. The Braves still lead by 3 1/2 games in the NL East over the Nats. The two teams conclude the series in Atlanta Thursday night, with Kris Medlen on the mound for Atlanta against Washington's Dan Haren. First pitch is 7:10 PM with a pregame airtime from the Braves Network on Newsradio 1490 at 5:55 PM. The Braves will begin a weekend series with the Mets in Atlanta on Friday night.

Gina Grant Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Zumba is a fitness phenomenon. The fitness program is relatively young in comparison to more established fitness programs. Zumba was created in 2001. Due to the exciting atmosphere and electric dance moves, Zumba has become more of a party, than a workout. Throughout the history of the Zumba, countless individuals have become licensed to teach classes. Several have achieved notoriety, but none like Gina Grant. She is a superstar in the Zumba world, even creating a program designed especially for kids, Zumbatomic.
List of Ingredients
- Gina Grant is a licensed Zumba fitness instructor capable of teaching more than seven types of classes.
Product Features
Gina Grant is a superstar in the world of Zumba. She not only performs Zumba, she treats the principles of Zumba as a way of life. Her mantra is to take the high-calorie fitness program and create programs designed for everyone, regardless of the fitness level. Grant is a licensed Zumba instructor, capable of teaching classes in traditional Zumba, Zumba Gold, Toning classes, Aqua Zumba, Zumba Sentao and a program close to her heart, Zumbatomic.
Seeing a rise in childhood weight problems, Gina Grant designed Zumbatomic. Zumbatomic is a custom fitness routine specifically for kids. The program combines fitness, high-energy music and games.
Although Grant is considered a leading authority in the Zumba world, we noticed several pieces of missing information relating to the fitness programs she instructs. There are no information relating to diet and possibly supplementation. We have seen dieters achieve results though Zumba, but could the results have been better if combined with proper diet? There is the dilemma.
- Gina Grant is licensed to teach all of the applicable Zumba fitness programs.
- The fitness programs designed by Gina Grant embrace individuals of all fitness levels.
- The trainer does not discuss diet or supplements in conjunction with the fitness program.
- One-on-one personal training is rather expensive.
- The classes Gina Grant Teaches require a fitness club membership.
Gina Grant is an inspiration to millions of dieters who decide Zumba is the right exercise program. We have reviewed Zumba and found the exercise program a winner in our book. The fitness program is not just for the elite athlete or individuals who are already in great physical fitness; the program is designed for everyone. We noticed the exercise programs led by Gina Grant focused on cardiovascular health as well as strength training. We would have liked to see more information relating to diet and supplementation. Without those two, a fitness program could potentially not be as effective.

sprouting seeds and nuts
Q: ABOUT SEEDS: In your granola recipe, you indicate soaking sunflower/pumpkin seeds overnight makes them living plants. I had understood this (making them living plants) didn't happen until you could see the beginning of sprouting. Can you do this with flax seeds, soak them overnight and add them to the green smoothie? I was told if you break/soften the hard shell of the flax seed, the body is able to digest it, getting all the benefits. Can you grind flax seed and put it in the fridge to be used later?
A: Soaking seeds makes them living, yes. Plants? Not quite yet. They've germinated even with just a few hours of soaking, and their enzyme inhibitors (as well as phytic acid) are neutralized. But the seeds are in the beginning stages of life that fuel the growth of the plant–you're stealing those enzymes/vitamins/ minerals for yourself before the budding plant can use them. You could get a sprouting contraption with lights to continue growing them until they are GREENS (or put them in the sun until they "green," though you risk them molding). A Yahoo group called "sproutpeople" is dedicated to this. But I usually eat my sprouts when they are just soaked, or sprouted to ½ the length of the seed or a bit longer. Soaking flax seeds before adding to your green smoothie–YES, great idea if you don't mind it thickening your smoothie. We will do a lot of this in Step 7 of 12 Steps to Whole Foods on sprouting/dehydrating (I always soak flax seeds to make crackers, etc.). I'll be doing some YouTube demos on sprouting, making flax crackers, etc. in the next few weeks. You can subscribe to my YouTube vids so you're notified when I have a new one. You can grind the flax seed in advance, but use them within a few days, as flax (especially broken down in any way) oxidizes quickly.

KRE-O CityVille Invasion is a city management game in which players operate as the commander of a security force placed in charge of rebuilding and defending their city from the evil Dr. Mayhem. This setup translates into a game that is one part action shooter and one part city management, making for an interesting and compelling title even if players don't know what the heck KRE-O is.
In Invasion players begin the game by watching the Dr. Mayhem destroy the titular island city. From here, it becomes the players task to rebuild the city while keeping henchmen invaders at bay. Invasion offers five unique city areas that unlock along the way, where buildings must be rebuilt and defense towers can be constructed and upgraded. Once a city section has the proper amount of things built in it, missions unlock that initiate battles.
Battles in Invasion are where players can expect to earn all of the resources necessary to keep building up their city. In these encounters players take control of a member of the police force and have to defend their city structures from invasion. With 35 unlockable characters – each with different weapons, hats, and suits – there is a lot of variety to be explored during battles, keeping everything feeling fresh. On top of this there are challenges players can complete during these battles, power-ups to be collected, and strategic maneuvering around the battlefield that all can impact the outcome of these fights.
If players lose a battle there are no huge consequences. Players still earn some amount of experience points and money for their efforts, but the main drag of defeat is the amount of time it takes to repair buildings and turrets. Much like many free-to-play city management games, if things need to be repaired or built it takes a designated amount of time. On top of this there isn't much to do if players are waiting around to repair their buildings, since having buildings is a requirement of performing combat missions. Patient players may not mind this system and be satisfied by having to wait, but others may be frustrated at being asked to pay for a quicker recovery.
Beyond the issue of the cooldown timers, the controls in Invasion's combat sequences could also be another frustrating issue. Fortunately the game's auto-aim makes attacks easy enough, but something about the virtual joystick for movement keeps it from working perfectly all the time.
All that being said, Invasion is still a heck of a free game. It's actually more like two games in one! If players have the patience for games with timers, Invasion offers a nice twist on the more traditional city management genre. Otherwise, it might be best to pass this one up.

The Legendary João Gilberto, The Original Bossa Nova Recordings (1958-61)
March 25, 2008. Posted by Simon Rentner.
Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz AliveIn America, this compilation is a rare gem, a "must-listen-to" from WBGO archives: The Legendary João Gilberto, The Original Bossa Nova Recordings (1958-61).
It doesn't get much better than this, folks. These are the first studio recordings made by João Gilberto, the living legend on vocals and guitar. This wasn't going to be my first blog entry on bossa nova, which celebrates its 50th Anniversary in less than two weeks, but I couldn't resist. I just discovered this compilation on CD - in beautifully re-mastered pristine fashion - tucked away in WBGO's library. So I feel obliged to share it with the WBGO family and readers of our blog.
The first sessions from this compilation occurred in July of 1958, when he recorded Chega de Saudade and Bim Bom. I hate making grandiose comparisons between cultures and genres of music, but here are a few for the sake of driving home the importance of this music. This record is like Charlie Parker's Dial and Savoy sessions, or Louis Armstrong's Hot Fives and Hot Sevens, or Miles Davis' album Kind of Blue, or Ornette Coleman's Something Else!!!! This music is completely new, and revolutionary. It documents the first time João Gilberto sang while playing guitar, introducing his bossa nova rhythm to the world.
Like Louis Armstrong on his cornet, Gilberto revolutionized the way to solo on his instrument. Listen to the way the guitar and vocals relate as a whole: no other guitarist/singer ever sounded like two musicians, singing in one rhythm, and accompanying himself in another. Plus his voice, which is literally pitch-perfect, has no trace of vibrato, a style he mastered after countless, maniacal hours of practice. To top it off, these are some of the first recordings featuring the bossa nova's perfect trinity: Gilberto, composer Antonio Carlos "Tom" Jobim, and lyricist Vinicius de Moraes. In Jobim's words: "João Gilberto appeared as a light, as a big star in the firmament, in the heavens. He became a focus, because he was pulling the guitar in one way and singing the other way, which created the third thing that was profound." Brazilian music would never be the same. - Simon Rentner
Ornette Coleman Interview

Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting Ornette Coleman at his midtown loft and studio, the latter of which he affectionately calls "The Doghouse." When I left, I had an earworm moment. I could not shake "Midnight Sunrise" from my head. On that recording, from Dancing in Your Head, Ornette plays his saxophone with the Master Musicians of Joujouka during a religious ceremony of Sufi trance music.
That's a pretty good indication of how my time with him sounded - sometimes mystic, sometimes swirling with idea and sound, always emphasizing humanity, freedom, and eternity. See, Ornette Coleman is not without his own musical language and his own sound grammar. The best way to understand what Ornette Coleman is saying is to listen to what he has to say. Because at 78, he still has a lot on his mind.Jazz legend Ornette Coleman is the recipient of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize in Music and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. He will be performing at Town Hall this Friday, March 28th.

Businesses need to accept that all systems are inherently insecure, and take steps to mitigate the dangers, it has been suggested.
Writing for the National Journal, Brian Fung claimed that more firms need to embrace the concept of 'data-object security' in order to protect their key assets.
He said that for most firms, systems such as email tend to be protected by a single password that, if broken, allows intruders to access all the information in the account.
"Networks and servers are similarly vulnerable; they're little more than a lockbox for your data," Mr Fung noted.
"But if you assume that the lock will eventually get broken, that frees your attention to focus on what happens next."
He said firms should be looking to create security defences for the individual data segments, adding an extra layer of protection.
Josh Sullivan, vice-president for data analytics at Booz Allen Hamilton, told the news provider businesses are embracing "a whole new way of thinking" when it comes to security.

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said Hamilton County prosecutor Mark Piepmeier will present the case to a grand jury.
The family of John Crawford III said his death was unjustified. Police said he was shot for refusing to drop what turned out to be an air rifle. A grand jury meets next month to see if the two officers involved should be charged.
DeWine said the grand jury will convene later than expected.
"Though our original intention was to begin the special grand jury proceedings on Sept. 3, Mr. Piepmeier will not be available to start the proceedings until Monday, Sept 22," DeWine said.
DeWine says Piepmeier has handled more than 100 police-invovled shootings in his career, including the 2001 shooting of Timothy Thomas that sparked riots in Cincinnati.
DeWine spoke with reporters this morning. He also defended his decision to let the family members of a man killed by police inside a Dayton-area Walmart to view surveillance footage of the incident.
"I thought the family had the right to have the opportunity to view it. The mom did not want to view it, and i fully understand that. The dad did, the dad viewed it. I thought that was something that we should do."
Crawford's family has called for the public release of the footage.
