Just a few miles up the coast from Yarmouth, Caister is a busy and growing small town, with some hidden gems
Where is Caister on Sea?
Caister on Sea is a couple of miles north of Great Yarmouth on the B1159; or follow the coast road down from north Norfolk for a leisurely drive. Alternatively, if you're lucky enough to get the chance, fly in by helicopter to the town's own airfield, which is used to supply offshore rigs.
About Caister on Sea
Caister has quite a surprising history.
The first Romans arrived in the town in the 1st Century AD, easily making it one of the oldest settlements in Norfolk.
What they left behind - including part of a defensive wall, a gateway and buildings along a main street - have been preserved and are free to view.
The remains of Caister castle (right) - a moated castle with a 100-foot tower built in 1432 - are also worth a visit.
The castle was built on the side of an earlier fortified manor house where Sir John Fastolff was born.
As if that wasn't enough, the castle today holds the largest private collection of motor vehicles in the country, stretching from 1893 to the present day.
Models on show include a 1893 Panhard et Lavassor, Christine Keeler's Cadillac Eldorado and the first Ford Fiesta.
Just on the edge of Caister is the deceptively-named Yarmouth Stadium.
The busy racetrack holds greyhound racing every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday night, and regularly holds Spedeworth motor racing. Hot rods and bangers also frequently race on the track.
Of course, there are also long stretches of sandy beach to enjoy, and you might even catch a launch of Caister Lifeboat.
The boat lost its RNLI status in the 1960s, but is now one of the most successful independent operations in the country - comedian Jim Davidson helped raise a lot of money for it, and is an honorary crew member.

ECB seeks global support for euro zone fix
PUBLISHED: 27 Sep 2011 00:04:00 | UPDATED: 27 Sep 2011 05:32:38PUBLISHED: 27 Sep 2011 PRINT EDITION: 27 Sep 2011David Crowe

Australia must use international forums to exert peer pressure on European politicians to act faster to avert a global downturn, one of the leaders of the European Central Bank has cautioned.
Warning of the "huge" risks of contagion from the euro zone debt crisis, ECB executive board member Lorenzo Bini Smaghi says the risks to the global economy are "on the downside" and that is dragging down business and consumer confidence and spreading European problems to Asian economies.
- Transcript | Lorenzo Bini Smaghi interview in full
- ECB warns banks could get 'addicted'
- ECB rules out inflation strategy
- All euro zone nations are culpable, says ECB
Speaking to The Australian Financial Review, Bini Smaghi dismissed hopes that the global financial system could withstand a Greek debt default in the way it has survived others, saying that such a decision by an advanced economy would be a totally new event, with wider consequences for sovereign debt markets.
But he also expressed confidence that Greece could pay its way out of the crisis because it and other euro zone nations would make rational decisions to cut spending rather than face the "suicide" of default.
European woes continued to dictate trading in the local sharemarket yesterday. The ASX/S&P 200 Index closed down 39.3 points to 3863.9. Resource stocks were sold off as commodity prices dropped, including a big fall in the price of gold. The Australian dollar fell by US1.15¢ to US96.63¢ and is now at its lowest level in almost 10 months.
In early European trading, equity markets sold off and futures trading on Wall Street suggested the US market would fall overnight. The euro continued to depreciate and is now trading around a 10-year low against the yen.
Bini Smaghi's comments came before a meeting of finance ministers at the weekend that agreed to do everything possible to avert an escalation of the debt crisis in Europe.
Press reports at the weekend said European financial ministers were set to establish a fund of up to €2 trillion ($2.8 trillion), managed by the new European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) and the European Central Bank to provide insurance against the sovereign debt crisis spreading from Greece to Spain and Italy.
The International Monetary Fund annual meetings at the weekend ended without final consensus on a solution to the crisis.
Finance ministers want to bolster the amount of money available to help create a firewall around Greece, and to potentially bail out other European economies. But the sticking point, particularly in Germany, is reaching domestic agreement about providing the money.
"[Finance ministers] focused on their own internal restraints, so that we don't have the outcome that we need," said Antonio Borges, head of the IMF's Europe department, according to the Wall Street Journal. While key players were acting in self-interest it was generating a "disastrous" collective result.
US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner warned at the weekend that failing to combat the turmoil could cause "cascading default, bank runs and catastrophic risk".
In a rebuke to some European leaders, Bini Smaghi says that politicians are "looking after their own turf" when they should realise that their countries would suffer later if they failed to support pan-European action.
Objections are being raised in Germany, Finland, Slovakia, Slovenia and elsewhere to the EFSF, a €440 billion rescue fund that must be ratified by 17 parliaments before it can be implemented as planned by the end of the year.
"This is an example of the need to think more globally, among politicians and citizens. There is a discrepancy between the way people look at their own problems in their courtyard and the way the decision has an impact on a much bigger dimension," Bini Smaghi says.
Finance ministers and central bank governors from the Group of 20 nations promised last Friday to unveil a "bold action plan" but said it would be put in place at the Cannes summit of world leaders in the southern French city in early November. The deadline prompted market fears that the policy leaders were moving too slowly.
Australia could help confront this problem by using its membership of the G20 to urge faster action in Europe to reduce budget deficits and implement the EFSF, Bini Smaghi says. "These forums are there for dialogue but also peer pressure – and for making political leaders aware of their global responsibilities," Bini Smaghi says of Australia's role.
"Peer pressure is, I think, essential."
Bini Smaghi spoke to the Financial Review in his Frankfurt office last Wednesday, before heading to Washington DC for the International Monetary Fund meetings. The ECB's next comments on the crisis are expected today when it issues an assessment of monetary developments in the euro zone. Its next decision on interest rates will be on October 6.
He shares responsibility for running the ECB as one of six members of its executive board, while also voting on interest rate decisions with the governing council, including bank governors from the 17 euro-zone countries. Some say the wider group backs whatever decision is taken by the inner sanctum of six.
Sometimes called a fiscal hawk, Bini Smaghi received his PhD in economics from the University of Chicago in 1988 and last June saw off an attempt by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to remove him from his post, as ECB executive board members insisted that no national leader had the power to sack them. Asked if the present problems are as great as those encountered with the collapse of the Lehman Brothers investment bank, Bini Smaghi says: "Well, I hope we won't find out." He warned that a sovereign default could be worse than a bank failure.
"I think the problem is different in quality, in the sense that the default of a sovereign puts into question the quality of sovereign signatures, which is a totally new event and it would have an impact across the board among countries and the way in which financial markets work.
"Most of the cases of default have been in developing nations or emerging markets and it has mostly been on foreign debt, not domestic. So we haven't really experienced anything like what is happening right now."
Analysts from Commerzbank and other institutions have recently calculated that markets could withstand a Greek default, but Bini Smaghi rubbished that conclusion.
"Those who say this have no idea about how contagion works," he says.
"It doesn't take into account all the interconnections and what would happen in the financial system as a whole if something as fundamental as sovereign risk is put into question, sovereign signatures are put into question."
The ECB has done its own analysis of the possible scenarios in the near future with more troubling conclusions.
"Certainly we considered, and I think we have been confirmed in what we see, that contagion is huge," Bini Smaghi says.
"What we see in the last weeks confirms that. Second, the impact on the real economy, especially on the country itself, would be quite dramatic."
The ECB view is a sobering assessment for all euro-zone nations because it suggests that if they refuse to help Greece avoid a default they would pay a higher price later when the contagion spreads.
"As time goes by the contagion may cost the taxpayer even more," Bini Smaghi says.
"So this idea that there are easy ways to restructure public debt is really an invention of economists, who assume that certain things are easy just because they are too complicated for them to study."
Bini Smaghi insists, however, that a rational government would not choose such an option because it would amount of political suicide.
"You cannot exclude irrationality but you have to work on the assumption that ultimately people are rational and their elected politicians, too . . . Any politician who brings his country to a default would, I think, have a lot of difficulties to be re-elected. Take Argentina: the government was wiped out. It brings a country to such a social and even a humanitarian disaster that it would be very difficult to get re-elected."
While he warns of the risks of contagion, Bini Smaghi seeks to cool the alarm felt in Asian markets over the risk of a European collapse. He has said in recent speeches that countries such as Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Greece have the fundamentals to ride out the concerns over debt.
"It's understandable that, seen from outside, people have difficulty understanding what's happening," he says of the way Australian and Asian markets see events in Europe.
"If you look at the fiscal fundamentals of Europe, they are much better than many other parts of the world. Look at the primary surpluses, for instance. If you compare the US and Japan and the euro area, there are several countries which are either in primary surplus or reaching primary surplus."
With the exception of Greece, he says, euro-zone countries will stabilise their debt to gross domestic product in 2012 or 2013 and are already progressing with budget cuts.

Currently the Apple Developer Tools used to create apps for iOS, that run on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad are really professional programs. While they have drag and drop elements, the way they all fit together and work to create an app is not something a child can easily do.
Some background in programing is very helpful. That is likely to change as an easy way to create apps for iOS may well be on the way. While it has not been announced or even hinted at by Apple, a move by Google guarantees a "user friendly" iOS app creator program will be released by Apple any time now.
The Google competition with Apple over content in their app stores is going to heat up with a new "Google Android App Inventor" tool to be launched soon by "Big G."

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - All eyes were on Peyton Manning this season, especially Brock Osweiler's.
He's the Denver Broncos' OTHER first-year quarterback, a 6-foot-8 passing project from Arizona State who's the first signal-caller ever drafted with the intention of one day succeeding the league's most decorated passer.
Osweiler bears a striking resemblance to "Twilight" actor Robert Pattinson, but what he really wants is to look more like Manning.
So, he's taken advantage of his apprenticeship by watching Manning's every move, scribbling copious notes and mimicking his mentor's notorious work ethic and preparation.
Osweiler said he's thrilled to be in Manning's shadow and insists he'll gladly bide his time while learning as much as he can from one of the game's greats.
Still, he says he's ready if needed.

Attorney General (AG) Azima Shakoor stated on Thursday that the government's bill on implementing death penalty would be made public early in the coming week.
Speaking at a press conference in Velaanaage, Shakoor confirmed that the AG's office had completed drafting the bill, which was now in the final stages of discussion. She confirmed that the bill would be made public on the office's website in the coming week, stating the matter "is very much connected to public sentiments and a large number of people feel this matter needs a fast solution".
Saying that "it was a pity" that three weeks had passed in the drafting stage, Shakoor said that unlike most other bills, the death penalty implementation bill was going through processes of in-depth research and further discussions among a high-level group appointed by the government.
According to Shakoor, the research took much longer than the state had expected, adding that the AG office had included the legal systems of Medina, Egypt and America in its research.
"I would like to point out that the death penalty is still implemented in over 50 countries across the world even today. Not all of these are even Islamic states. Nor is murder the only crime for which the sentence is given. For example, some countries sentence people to death for being caught trying to bring in narcotics to the country. We are considering all of these points and have made a comparative legal assessment," Shakoor explained.
Other crimes besides murder which are punishable by death according to Islamic Sharia include apostasy, adultery, sodomy, rape and high treason.
"We need to conduct an academic exercise since we are trying to do this through a rather weak penal code," Shakoor said.
"If this can be done before the penal code pending in parliament is passed, it might be best to include this as part of that code. Right now, we have drafted this with the thought that if the penal code gets passed up front, then this can be passed as a separate act on death penalty."
Shakoor said that the bill was important as the current practice was to charge murder convicts under Article 88 of the existing penal code.
Article 88 of the Penal Code states that disobedience to order is a crime, while Article 88(c) details that if the result of violating the article leads to a death, the case should be dealt with according to Islamic Sharia.
Shakoor provided details of the drafted bill, stating it would be looking at the investigation stages, prosecution stages, sentencing and the implementation of sentences.
"The act looks into deciding on the number of judges who will sit on the sentencing panel. Furthermore it considers the rights of the family, the rights of the murder victim, the rights of the victim's family, the final rights of the convict during sentencing," Shakoor stated.
Responding to a question regarding how those sentenced to death prior to the bill being ratified would be dealt with, Shakoor said "it is difficult to give a straightforward answer as the final discussions on the bill have not yet been completed."
"We too believe that answers to that must come to light through how this bill is composed. However, I believe that a solution must be provided even for past cases. So the act will be drafted to reflect that. You can see for yourselves once the bill is made public," Shakoor replied.
"When an act is passed which explicitly spells out implementation [of the death penalty], then I believe the benefits of it must be carried to even past cases."
Among a number of other cases, a young couple charged with the murder of lawyer Ahmed Najeeb were sentenced to death by the Criminal Court in July, a few days after the UN Human Rights Committee (UNHRC) asked the Maldivian state to enact legislation to officially abolish the death penalty. The statement said "the state itself has admitted that capital punishment does not deter crime."

So Azima Shakoor admits that bills are being drafted and submitted to Majlis with no research at all? Only as dreamt up by Kutti Nasheed, I suppose.

An 11 year old minor conceives on an island.
How about implementing some new rules on child abuse? What kind of sentence does the guy who 'poked' her deserve?
Death penalty discussions are political to get the government through the elections. After that, the idea would be dropped and crime would resurface again.
What a joke!
Wives and Concubines on Fri, 2nd Nov 2012 2:52 PM
Why stop at the death penalty? How about chopping off limbs of thieves and stoning adulterers?
If just the death penalty is implemented and the rest is ignored conveniently, it is more evidence that this is being done by political parties, especially adhaalath to just try and get more votes, power and money which they can then spend on booze and prostitutes in bangkok.

Dodgy judiciary + Death Penalty +recipe for disaster (although that depends on who is looking at it of course) Bit obvious innit? So predictable (as usual) Brawn vs brain, clearly.

What if Maumoon and Isthafa have to pay for their criminal acts? Would the death sentence still be implemented?
Dhivehi Hanguraama on Fri, 2nd Nov 2012 10:04 PM
An ineffective judiciary only means that more people shal be garrotted or hanged. This is not problematic at all and, indeed, shall be of a great benefit in bringing morality back to this nation of miscrants, deviants and harlots.
The more people that hang by the noose, the more shall the MalDeviant fear death. The consideration of his prospects in the afterlife may but compel him to increase his virtue and faith. More importantly, the consideration of this prospect might prompt our harlots to stop being harlots and also turn towards virtue. From virtuous wombs does virtuous offspring spring forth.
Implement the death penalty. Implement virtue. Alhamdulillaah.
HassanK on Sat, 3rd Nov 2012 8:02 AM
Talk about walking before you can crawl. There isn't even a half decent legal system with an evidence law let alone the fact that there isn't capable and non-corrupt legal experts. All everyone wants is death penalty. No one seem to care how the laws are weak and lawyers and judges are either retarded or corrupted. So they don't care that the conviction is reached through completely un-Islamic system but they want Islamic punishment at the end. Maldivians are too smart in their own heat for their own good.

San Diego Golden Star [Muilla clevelandii (Wats.) Hoover]
Listing List 1B R-E-D Code 2-2-2
State/Federal. Status -- /C2 ALLIACEAE Apr.-May
Global Rank G2 State Rank S2.1
Distribution: San Diego County; Baja California, Mexico
Habitat: Valley Grasslands, particularly near Mima Mound topography or the vicinity of vernal pools, are the preferred habitat of this perennial corm. This plant does not grow with woody perennials; it frequently is found with fields of Nassella pulchra, a common bunchgrass, and Sisyrinchium bellum. Redding Cobbly loams are mapped for locations near Miramar, while Stockpen gravelly clay loam is found with the populations on northeastern Otay Mesa. Given the dearth of shrubs associated with Muilla, clay soils with good shrink/swell potential are obviously preferred.
Known Sites: This corm grows near vernal pools on Otay Mesa north of the Donovan Prison. It is scattered at sites near the Miramar Mounds and on Miramar Air Station south of the eastern terminus of Eastgate Mall. Scattered populations occur around Lower Otay Lake, such as at the east end near the Daley Rock Quarry. Major populations covering many acres were recently reported from Proctor Valley, as well as by Escondido Creek near Via de las Flores. A small population is found alongside the Sweetwater River upstream of the Sweetwater Reservoir and just north of the old wooden bridge. Numerous reports where possibly still extant include 0.5 mile west of San Dieguito Reservoir, Lopez Canyon, Mission Trails Park, a mesa south of Los Peńasquitos Canyon, Murphy Canyon, 0.5 mile southwest of Santana High School in north Santee, the west slope of San Miguel Mountain, and at the Kuebler Ranch on eastern Otay Mesa. Herbarium specimens include Foster (San Vicente Reservoir) and a locale at Rancho Santa Fe. Data Base reports are for the south end of Santo Road near Murphy Canyon, just north of Shepherd Canyon and west of Mission Trail Regional Park, 0.8 mile north of Mission Dam, a ridge north of Fortuna Mountain, Little Sycamore Canyon, mesa south of San Diego State College [likely extirpated], both east and south of the Miramar Naval Air Station runways, west of Highway 163 between San Clemente Canyon and Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, in Mission Hills [possibly extirpated], the old Brown Field Bombing Range, near the Otay Mountain Truck Trail, the eastern edge of Otay Mountain 1 mile north of the Mexican border, the western edge of Otay Mountain both 0.5 and 1.25 miles north of the Mexican border, Little Cedar Canyon on Otay Mountain, between the San Diego River and Mast Boulevard 1000 feet east of Cuyamaca Street in Santee, a mesa between Black Mountain Road and Interstate 15 south of Peńasquitos Canyon, north of Little Sycamore Canyon on a ridge 0.25 mile east of Quail Canyon, near 50th Street and Adams in San Diego [likely extirpated], 0.5 mile south of the Lower Otay Reservoir camping area, north of San Clemente Canyon between the sand mining pit and Highway 163, the vicinity of Highway 163 and Kearney Villa Road, south and east of the Miramar Naval Air Station runways, the west gate of this air station, 2.5 miles south of Alpine on the Sky Mesa Ranch near South Grade Road, west of Wolf Canyon near Otay Valley, west of La Media Road 1.5 miles south of Brown Field, west of Sycamore Canyon and a jeep trail, 0.7-1.1 miles south of the junction of Highway 94 and Honey Springs Road, Cedar Canyon on Otay Mountain, Minnewawa Truck Trail about 0.5 mile south of Otay Lakes Road, both east and west of Little Cedar Canyon, Chollas Heights Naval Radio Station, southeast of Black Mountain Road near the 4-S Ranch, several locales north of the tip of Upper Otay Reservoir, the east side of the Otay Reservoirs between the upper and lower lakes, southeast of San Marcos Creek Canyon approximately 1.75 miles southwest of Lake San Marcos Dam, southeast of Rancho Santa Fe Road on both side of an intermittent watercourse approximately 2.2 miles southwest of Lake San Marcos, and 1.3 miles north of Otay Lakes Road and west of Jamul Creek. A number of the Data Base reports represent peripheral colonies of a single larger population; hence fewer populations are recorded than may be apparent.
Only three collections from Baja California are found at the San Diego herbarium; south to 32 22' North where collected by Moran (SD 102127) on the south side of Valle de las Palmas.
Status: San Diego Golden Star is severely declining with urban expansion of the City of San Diego and outlying cities and communities. Muilla clevelandii will be heavily impacted in the 1990's by continued urban expansion. The large Proctor Valley populations are endangered by proposed Otay Ranch development, and expected severe potential secondary impacts from an influx of humans into this still lightly utilized area. Currently this species is not being adequately protected, and a number of development sites with good potential for occurrence are not being adequately censused in the spring; it is extremely difficult to identify except when in flower during this period. During years of poor rainfall, as with the late 1980's, this corm may not flower, or deceptively bloom in only limited numbers. Apparent rarity in Baja California should be factored into any analysis of the level of endangerment for this species. Populations have undoubtedly declined substantially within the last two decades, along with the loss of peripheral vernal pool habitat. The broadened filament base of San Diego Golden Star should be carefully examined as Bloomeria crocea is superficially quite similar and much more common in San Diego County. As a result, it may be that populations of Muilla clevelandii are being overlooked. Habitat of both is sometimes similar. All substantial populations should be protected; significant portions of smaller populations should also be protected.

"Haha, well that's what the douche gets for kicking me in my sleep." I walked away and started cooking whatever meat Frank wanted and gagged. "Gosh, does meat have to smell so awful?" I muttered under my breath. I finished and ran past Kiba to the bathroom and vomitted. I groaned and finished, brushing my teeth and attempting to fix my wild locks, and failing each time. I finally give and decide I look fine and walk back out to see Frank eating what I cooked. "You discust me Frank." I said with a straight face, I started laughed and shook my head when he flipped me the bird. "No thanks carnivore, I only date herbavores." I giggled at the terminologies I labeled us with and flopped back on to the leather couch.

Dropquest 2011: Get 1 GB extra free Dropbox storage space!
Posted By Ashraf On January 16, 2011 @ 9:53 PM In Freebies,Tips 'n Tricks | 20 Comments
[1]Mirror, mirror on the wall: What is the best file sharing/backup service of them all? Dropbox [2]. All free Dropbox accounts come with 2 GB of storage space. Last November I posted about how to increase [3] that 2 GB of storage space by 50%. Want more free Dropbox storage space? Participate in Dropquest 2011.
Dropquest 2011 is a 30-step scavenger hunt sponsored by Dropbox. Everyone who completes the scavenger hunt gets 1 GB of extra free space; people who complete it the quickest get more goodies:
(By "quickest" Dropbox means the people who complete it the earliest. In other words, if you are starting Dropquest 2011 after reading this thread you have no chance of winning the special prizes. Just go for the 1 GB.)
Be warned that the scavenger hunt isn't exactly a walk in the park; it is 30-steps and can be a bit confusing/tricky. However, the scavenger hunt started yesterday, so by now there are many step-by-step guides one can use, if you are too lazy to try to do the scavenger hunt yourself. (Aka you can cheat [4].) How ever you decide to do it, hit up the link below to begin Dropquest 2011. Be sure to do each step in the scavenger hunt because completing each step gives you X MB of space; completing all 30 steps gives you a total of 1 GB.
Dropquest 2011 is open for two weeks – it will close Saturday January 29, 2011 11:00 AM PST (7:00 PM GMT).

Even as a child, Alisa Lasater, now a third-year divinity school student, was interested in the plight of the homeless, the poor, the disenfranchised.
At a young age she became involved in informal outreach to low income communities "by the grace of God," she says. After college, she worked as a youth minister in her hometown of Albuquerque, N.M., at Central United Methodist Church. Later, she worked full time with the poor through Rising Hope United Methodist Mission Church near Washington, D.C. So Lasater was taken aback last spring when she learned that her pastoral internship through the summer Teaching Congregations program would take place in Stanwich Congregational Church of Greenwich, Conn., one of the nation's wealthiest communities. She had never considered ministry with parishioners who live in multi-million-dollar mansions. Accustomed to the poor's openness to the gospel, she did not expect to find the same spirit in a community of such great means. How would she make the transition, she wondered, from preaching to people who live on the streets to preaching to people with heated bathroom floors and vaulted ceilings in their huge houses? "One of my first thoughts was the passage from Matthew: 'It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God,'" Lasater says. What followed was a transforming experience, one that challenged her view of the world and showed Lasater that she had much to learn about all kinds of people, their needs, and the ubiquitous presence of the Holy Spirit. According to Nancy Rich, who coordinates the Lilly Endowment-funded Teaching Congregations program, sending students into settings outside their comfort zone is intentional. The idea is to take 14 of the school's finest students each summer and place them in churches with excellent pastors and lay people to guide them. Often the experience moves students in unexpected directions that prove more valuable than the students could have imagined. "It's a chance to challenge students' notions of what church is all about and help them find their calling," Rich says. In well-heeled Greenwich, Lasater encountered people struggling with loneliness, questions about their self worth, and difficult family situations. And contrary to her expectations, she found a devoted congregation of openhearted and deeply caring people who shared their pain. "I learned about God and God's kingdom and a lot about my call to the practice of ministry," says Lasater, 27. "You go where God sends you, but you make sure you're always formed by God, not the place. And God taught me through the problems and pain and hope of the people in Greenwich."
For 24-year-old Donna Coletrane, a second-year divinity student, her internship at Hyde Park United Methodist Church in Tampa, Fla., gave her the opportunity to work toward racial reconciliation within the church—a long-time interest. The issue seemed natural, considering Coletrane is black and Hyde Park is a predominantly white congregation. Coletrane spoke frequently with members about divisions separating black and white communities. She talked about hip-hop culture, especially music, and explained that it can be positive as well as negative. She almost always found people willing to listen and trying to come together. Scripture served as a bridge of understanding when shared experiences did not. "I left Hyde Park with a hope of racial reconciliation among white and black churches, although that still has a long way to go," she says. "They gave me hope because they were a community that embraced me. I could make a comment without judgment, and we could have a good discussion and pray about it." Before the summer, Coltrane, who grew up in the Missionary Baptist tradition, believed she would not become a pastor in her church. But during her internship, she began to consider doing exactly that. "It did make me more open to the possibility of pastoring, which is not something I necessarily was open to doing," she says. "They helped me develop some undiscovered gifts. God very well may call me into the pastoral role." |

Is it farther or further?
mid-15c., Scottish ydy, possibly from Old Norse iða "whirlpool," from Proto-Germanic *ith- "a second time, again," which is related to the common Old English prefix ed- "again, backwards; repetition, turning" (forming such words as edðingung "reconciliation," edgift "restitution," edniwian "to renew, restore," edhwierfan "to retrace one's steps," edgeong "to become young again"). Cf. Old English edwielle "eddy, vortex, whirlpool." The prefix is cognate with Latin et, Old High German et-, Gothic iþ "and, but, however." Related: Eddies.
1810, from eddy (n.). Related: Eddied; eddying.
fluid current whose flow direction differs from that of the general flow; the motion of the whole fluid is the net result of the movements of the eddies that compose it. Eddies can transfer much more energy and dissolved matter within the fluid than can molecular diffusion in nonturbulent flow because eddies actually mix together large masses of fluid. Flow composed largely of eddies is called turbulent; eddies generally become more numerous as the fluid flow velocity increases. Energy is constantly transferred from large to small eddies until it is dissipated. (See fluid mechanics.)

1. Follow the prescribed preventive-maintenance schedule supplied with your press. Different presses with varying capabilities require special maintenance. While most hydraulic presses share the same core needs for maintenance, start by following the specific schedule supplied in your machine manual.
2. Check hydraulic lines and fittings regularly for leaks. Small leaks can lead to large problems and large messes. If a leak is detected, tighten or replace the hose or fitting and then monitor the correction.
3. Check for proper oil level and operating temperature. Improper oil levels can lead to pump inefficiency due to cavitation, where air enters the liquid being pumped. Oil that runs too hot can lead to premature breakdown. Monitoring oil temperature also serves as a warning that some circuit components may not be performing adequately. Press systems traditionally running cool and then suddenly changing to run hot, may have a failing component that is passing oil and detracting from efficiency, not to mention adding heat to the system.
4. Ensure oil cleanliness. Contaminated oil can cause complete system failure and significant damage, and lead to extended downtime. Many basic hydraulic systems can run with simple return-line filtration circuits using 10-micron filters. Higher-performance systems utilizing proportional or servo valves will require more advanced or cleaner filtration (perhaps 6-micron filters) and the use of in-line pressure and return-line filters. The type of system and required cleanliness should be specified by the manufacturer. Periodic oil sampling is suggested, and can be analyzed by a third party or dedicated oil-testing service. Often, a local hydraulic-component distributor can perform this duty or suggest a reliable company.
5. Mind the fasteners. Whether the press is of all-welded construction or is a tie-rod model, it relies on numerous nuts and bolts for proper operation. Monitor cylinder attachment monthly. Once the bolts have been checked to the proper torque, baseline marks can serve as at-a-glance indicators for future monitoring. Many presses carry marks on all attachment bolts when the bolts have been certified to the proper torque. Also, monitor bolster-plate fasteners and tie-rod pre-tensioning nuts.
6. Monitor the safety system on a daily basis. Press systems with light curtains, gate interlocks, safety mats, etc., should be tested prior to operation. If a safety device has been found defective or unreliable, lockout the press and perform needed service immediately. Also, test the E-stop safety circuit daily.
7. Record press data. Data logging, though not often used, is one of the best tools for monitoring press-system performance. Recording items such as operating pressures during rapid-advance, pressing and rapid-retract portions of the press cycle can provide valuable data as to press-system efficiency. Your equipment manufacturer should capture this data during equipment testing and report it to you. Ideally, record this data when the press is commissioned and refer back to it periodically. If you start to see increases in operational pressures, components may have begun to fail or are performing below optimum levels.
8. Be proactive in replacing press components. Most presses are constructed of several hydraulic components either from a single manufacturer or from multiple companies. Each manufacturer has an expected service life for each component. Replacing components proactively before a failure saves unexpected downtime and costly repairs. A hydraulic component can fail and introduce contamination into a hydraulic system–especially true for pumps. It is far easier and less costly to change out components on a regular basis than to wait for a component to fail and possibly contaminate the system.

U.S. industrial production is rising, gaining 0.8% in November after a flat October. Capactity utilization also increased, which will help keep inflation low. Production of industrial materials rose 1.3%, the highest increase in three months.
"We'll continue to see growth in manufacturing output, given strong exports and that consumers are spending," said Michael Feroli, an economist at JPMorgan Chase & Co. in New York, who forecast a production gain of 0.9 percent. "You're seeing a decent amount of breadth in terms of the increases."
The U.S. manufacturing base is cautiously optimistic about continued growth in 2010.
Spread the good news! To paraphrase Mark Twain; "The reports of manufacturing death have been greatly exaggerated."

"You're taking that out of context!" "That is not what I meant!" "That is not what the writer was trying to say!"
Taking something out of context usually is considered a bad thing. But when it comes to creative thinking it can uncover fresh new ideas.
Take for instance, German inventor, Johannes Gutenberg who in the 15th century combined two previously unconnected ideas, the wine press and the coin punch.
A press made to apply force over a large area for squashing grapes and a punch made to leave an image on a small area were taken out of their intended context to invent the printing press and movable type.
Another good example from the following exercise in Rodger Von Oech's book, "A Whack on the Side of the Head":
Shown below is the Roman numeral nine. By adding only a single line, turn it into a 6.
Some people put a horizontal line through the center, turn it upside down, and then cover the bottom. This gives you the Roman numeral VI. But by thinking out of the Roman numeral context you can just put an "S" in front of it to create "SIX". Secondly you could put a "6" after IX and create the equation 1X6, or one times six which of course equals six.
By thinking alphabetically or in the context of mathematical symbols instead of Roman numerals several answers become obvious. How could you use this same type of thinking to create fresh new ideas for your business?
How about your hydraulic press? Have you ever considered what you can do with the power you already possess? By taking the intended use of a hydraulic press out of context is the world's next "printing press" just waiting to be discovered?
By thinking of your process, "out of context", there maybe hidden gems just waiting to be discovered. Creative thinking leads to endless possibilities and that's not out of context by saying you literally can take that to the bank!

about HOPE
Some of our Stories
Our Vision
HOPE of the Grand Valley
P.O. Box 532
Fruita, CO 81521
HOPE of the Grand Valley's mission is to provide support and a hand up to hard-working parents and their children who work and are not receiving welfare, or housing assistance.
This is a group that tends to fall through the cracks. These are people trying to break the cycle of poverty and doing their best to get ahead.
It's a situation that creates an uncertain future for both parents and their children. HOPE of the Grand Valley aims to help these families create a more predictable and stable environment for their children.
A hand up, not a hand out
a non-profit organization that offers supportive services for our working under employed with children.
"We believe in supporting those in the Valley that give tirelessly to help others. The compassion shown by Hope of the Grand Valley reminds all of us that no matter what our circumstance, good people are here to help".
Randy Stone
President/General Manager

KGJT (MyNetwork)
"Blessed is the community that has an organization like Hope of the Grand Valley! Their work has become an important link in the continuum of services available in Mesa County, and a lifeline for many. HOPE is an organization that does its work without fanfare, yet steadfastly provides every day for those who live in the shadows of life.

When you are struggling just to pay the rent and because you are working you can't get help from governmental agencies, where do you turn? Or, if you are a single mom and just need a little guidance and training in the basics, who can help?
HOPE of the Grand Valley will give these people that hand up that they so desperately need to become contributing members of society and keep them off of government assistance. At Handy Works, we believe that God has a plan for all of us and part of that plan is simply helping where we can.
We support HOPE of the Grand Valley because "Comcast Cares"
Comcast Spotlight
-Grand Junction
We believe in HOPE of the Grand Valley because it is focusing on hard working families/single parents in our community that want a" hand up and not a hand out." We believe that we have a much stronger community when we take responsibility for our neighbors in need and can assist them in helping themselves to stay off government assistance when possible. We have many very generous people in our community and hope of the grand valley is another way for us to partner with our finances, skills and talents to help our community.
This is the passion of HOPE of the Grand Valley- to meet needs, walk alongside our neighbors, to shine that light in a dark place and let everyone know that there is always hope.
Ron and Mary Eisenman
We at Your HOA Team believe in Hope of the Grand Valley because we know secure families are the foundation of good communities.
Barbara Lucks
Your HOA Team
I wanted to take a moment and thank you for what you and your organization does for families here in the Grand Valley. I especially appreciate the fact that Hope of the Grand Valley concentrates on hard working families and single parents that are not just looking for a 'handout but a handup". We are all aware that bad things can happen to good people and I truly respect those people that have experienced adversity and are working to improve their situation. Providing assistance to these deserving people is a definate need and I am thankful that we here at our locally owned and operated Timberline Bank are in a position to contibute.
Thank you,
Jeff Taets

"God has blessed us so much. It is our desire to give back to those less fortunate. If it were not for the grace of God we would find ourselves in the same situation. We wish we could give more to such a worthy cause."
-Bonnie & Sandi
Country Elegance Florist
"There are many families that are struggling to get by now. They are the working poor. They want to take care of their families, but sometimes they need a little help. If every business, church or individual here in the Grand Valley would commit to helping out each month I think you would see more people moving towards being self sufficient instead of going on the system to survive. I also see the increase in our suicide rates here in Mesa County a real red flag that there are many that have given up hope. That is why we feel very strongly that Hope of the Grand Valley is so important. I do thank God for loving us and meeting our needs. Often he brings people into our lives who need to see God's love and care. This gives us an opportunity to do that."
-Craig & Aleta Beaslin
Carpets Done Right
"As a pastor in Grand Junction, it's not hard to learn that there are people in our community falling through some cracks in getting the support they need to find hope and a better way of life. However, it can be very hard to know who the people are and work with them directly to get what they desperately need! That's why I, and my congregation love supporting Hope of the Grand Valley. Vicki and her volunteers are in the places and relationships where the people need her to be in order to get assistance.
I trust Vicki explicitly to carry out her God-given purpose in helping our neighbors. We will continue backing HOPE with our funding, facilities, and relationships so that HOPE can continue serving God's people in need
-Rev. Blaine Scott
First United Methodist Church
Grand Junction
We support Hope of the Grand Valley because HOPE seeks to come alongside and work with people, instead of simply doing something for people.
Jesus said that much would be required of those to whom much has been given, and Hope provides an opportunity to do just that—to do what Christ calls us to do—to feed the hungry, clothe the naked.
Through HopeGV we get to offer these basest necessities to those who are working hard, but barely getting by. Hope also provides opportunities to come alongside those who find themselves in crisis. Getting blindsided by life is something most people have suffered.
Why not come together and make it possible for a family to not only survive, but to thrive? After all, this is what it means to live in community.
Let's make it the best community possible!

Living Dolls: Could Your Life Stand Up to the Doll Challenge? |
Written by Stephanie Finnegan |
Tuesday, 06 July 2010 19:48 |
While promoting the latest installment of the Twilight series, actress Kristen Stewart (Bella) and actor Taylor Lautner (Jacob) were asked about the merchandise that swirls around their teen box-office sensation. Lautner, an 18-year-old boy who still lives with his mom and dad, was understandably embarrassed to know that people were buying sheets with his likeness on it, bare-torso dolls with his athletic physique, and ladies' panties with his face and a blurb about "Team Jacob" emblazoned across the back. Stewart was more resigned to the whole marketing blitz. Her only comment was that dolls and T-shirts made sense to her; whereas other spin-offs, like Band-Aids and body shimmer, were "funny and weird, or funny-weird." (Keep in mind, she just turned 20. Her vocabulary is still very much "teen speak.") In kingdomTrackBack URI for this entryIn kingdom...
I lost my son four years ago. He was 50 years old. I would love to have a baby doll made to look like him when he was three months old. He was such a beautiful baby and grew into such a sweet , good man.
I would select the day my baby was born. I would love to have a doll made of her as a small helpless innocent baby. It would be so sweet. I am partial to the newborn dolls and the reborn dolls.
I'd select my six-year-old birthday party as my little-doll form, and my wedding day as my fashion doll form. When I was turning six, I thought everything was possible. And I felt that same way when I got married. My dresses changed but I didn't inside. That's my choice.
I don't know what part of my life I'd like to have made into a doll. I'd say the day I got divorced, but I don't think any doll artist can sculpt just how happy I was then. I didn't know that the Jacob actor was only 18. He's a lucky teenager to have all this success and fame. I hope his parents keep an eye on him so he has a long and happy career.

Please read general Migration Guide page first, for common considerations that apply to migration or upgrade between versions of Apache Tomcat.
Migrating from 7.0.x to 8.0.x
This section lists all the known changes between 7.0.x and 8.0.x which may cause backwards compatibility problems when upgrading.
Java 7 required
Apache Tomcat 8.0.x requires Java 7 or later. Apache Tomcat 7.0.x required Java 6.
Specification APIs
Apache Tomcat 8 supports the Java Servlet 3.1, JavaServer Pages 2.3, Java Unified Expression Language 3.0 and Java WebSocket 1.0 specifications. The changes between versions of specifications may be found in the Changes appendix in each of specification documents.
Servlet 3.1 API
In JSP pages that use wildcard import syntax the new classes added in
Servlet API may conflict with ones in web applications.
For example, if package "a"
contains class
, the following JSP page will cease to compile in
Tomcat 8:
<%@page import="a.*"%>
<% ReadListener listener = new ReadListener(); %>
This happens because implicit import of javax.servlet.*
and explicit import of a.*
will provide conflicting
definitions of class ReadListener
that was added in Servlet
3.1. The solution is to use the explicit import,
Default connector implementation
The default HTTP and AJP connector implementation has switched from the Java blocking IO implementation (BIO) to the Java non-blocking IO implementation (NIO). BIO may still be used but Servlet 3.1 and WebSocket 1.0 features that use non-blocking IO will then use blocking IO instead which may cause unexpected application behavior.
Default URL encoding
The default value of URIEncoding
attribute for HTTP and
AJP connectors has been changed from "ISO-8859-1" to be "UTF-8" (if
"strict servlet compliance" mode is off, which is the default). This
setting specifies what character encoding is used to decode '%xx'-encoded
bytes in path and query of a request URI.
If server is configured with "strict servlet compliance" on, the
default value of URIEncoding
attribute of connectors is
"ISO-8859-1", the same as in older versions of Tomcat.
Reference: HTTP connector, AJP connector.
Web application resources
The Aliases, VirtualLoader, VirtualDirContext, JAR resources and external repositories features that all provided a way to add resources to a web application have been replaced with a single framework rather than each being implemented separately (this was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain). The resources documentation provides details on how the new implementation may be used.
The refactoring of resources has also resulted in a number of attributes being removed from the default Context implementation (org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext). The following attributes may now be configured via the resources implementation used by the web application:
- allowLinking
- cachingAllowed
- cacheMaxSize
- cacheObjectMaxSize
- cacheTtl (renamed: it was cacheTTL in Tomcat 7)
For example, configurations in Tomcat 7 and Tomcat 8:
<!-- Tomcat 7: -->
<Context allowLinking="true" />
<!-- Tomcat 8: -->
<Resources allowLinking="true" />
Database Connection Pooling
Tomcat 8 embeds a packaged renamed version of Apache Commons DBCP 2.x as the default implementation of a database connection pool. There are a number of notable changes between Commons DBCP 1.x (used by Tomcat 7 and earlier) and Commons DBCP 2.x which are likely to require configuration changes.
- The
configuration option has been renamed tomaxTotal
- The
configuration option has been renamed tomaxWaitMillis
- The JDBC driver JAR may be placed in WEB-INF/lib as an alternative to $CATALINA_BASE/lib provided that the driver class is only used by that web application.
- Connection validation no longer requires both a validation query and at least one of the testXxx attributes to be set to true. If no validation query is defined and at least one of the testxxx attributes is true, connections will be validated using Connection.isValid().
- The
configuration option has been replaced byremoveAbandonedOnBorrow
Additionally, Commons DBCP has added a number of new configuration options. These should be reviewed to determine which, if any, should be used.
The addition of the HttpServletRequest.changeSessionId()
method in Servlet 3.1 made the
unnecessary so it has been removed. It must be removed from cluster
configurations when upgrading to Tomcat 8.
When starting Tomcat with the jpda
option to enable remote
debugging, Tomcat 8 listens on localhost:8000
by default.
Earlier versions listened on *:8000
. If required, this default
can be overridden by setting the JPDA_ADDRESS
variable in, for example, setenv.[bat|sh]
Internal APIs
Whilst the Tomcat 8 internal API is broadly compatible with Tomcat 7 there have been many changes at the detail level and they are not binary compatible. Developers of custom components that interact with Tomcat's internals should review the JavaDoc for the relevant API.
Of particular note are:
- The Manager, Loader and Resources have moved from Container to Context since Context is the only place they are used.
- The Mapper has moved from the Connector to the Service since the Mapper is identical for all Connectors of a given Service.
- A new Resources implementation that merges Aliases, VirtualLoader, VirtualDirContext, JAR resources and external repositories into a single framework rather than a separate one for each feature.
- A new interface SessionIdGenerator has been added making session id generation extensible. Methods to get and set the id generator class name have been added to the Manager interface.
Upgrading 8.0.x
When upgrading instances of Apache Tomcat from one version of Tomcat 8 to another, particularly when using separate locations for $CATALINA_HOME and $CATALINA_BASE, it is necessary to ensure that any changes in the configuration files such as new attributes and changes to defaults are applied as part of the upgrade. To assist with the identification of these changes, the form below may be used to view the differences between the configuration files in different versions of Tomcat 8.
Tomcat 8.0.x configuration file differences
Select a configuration file, old version and new version from the boxes below and then click "View differences" to see the differences. The differences will be shown in a new tab/window.
You can also use Subversion command similar to the following (all on one line):

By NICK SCHWIEN
The annual event to wrap up the racing season at RPM Speedway in Hays continues to grow.
This year, Fall Nationals VII saw even more growth in drivers and fans during the three-day event Oct. 10 to 12 in Hays. Thousands of people passed through the ticket gate and pit gate to watch the action from five classes of IMCA racing.
Five champions were crowned, including Mitch Bolton of Grand Junction, Colo., in the sport compact class Oct. 10. Then it was on to the four larger classes -- hobby stocks, Northern sport mods, stocks and modifieds.
Each feature in those four classes showcased drivers competing for hefty payouts.
Ron Wehling of Russell took home $1,000 for winning the hobby stock feature Oct. 12, while Belleville's Tyler Frye was $2,000 richer after winning the sport mod feature.
The stock car winner once again hailed from Harlan, Iowa. Mike Nichols claimed the $3,000 check at the end of the night.
The biggest payout, $5,000, went to modified feature winner John Hansen of Brush Colo. He became the second Colorado driver to win the prestigious event. Will Brack won Fall Nationals in 2010.
Each of the seven years of Fall Nationals has resulted in a different driver taking home the top spot.
While the action on the track was hot and heavy, so too was action in the stands and pits.
A total of 237 drivers registered to compete at this year's event. That included competitors from 12 states -- even Alaska -- and Canada.
Concession stands were hopping. More than 1,600 hamburgers, 300 brats, 600 hot dogs, 120 baked potatoes and 15 gallons of chili were sold.
