This specification is currently an incomplete draft. Section headings similar to those in the CiviContribute Specification spec have been roughed in. A data - centred view is mapped out starting at #Membership.
CiviMember Phase 1 will support the following functionality:
The following features are being considered for subsequent phases (and are NOT part of phase 1):
Similar to CiviDonate menu CiviContribute Specification#Menu / User Interface Elements but for Membership information
Represents a specific instance of an online membership form.
Here are some ideas for a CiviCRM membership model. Comments welcome.
Identifies an Organization as one for which memberships are tracked.
MembershipOrganizationID: Unique primary key for this MembershipOrganization
contact_id: FK to Organization (see CiviCRM Data Object Model)
NB: A publication can be entered in an organizational record in order to handle publication subscriptions as memberships.
Membership is a Relationship_type Data Model with the following characteristics:
name_a_b: 'IndividualMember'
name_b_a: 'HasMember'
description: 'Membership relationship'
contact_type_a: 'Individual'
contact_type_b 'Organization'
is_reserved: 0
It extends the Relationship entity (see Data Model. The contact_a field is the Member, and contact_b is the MembershipOrganization.
FirstMembership: date (year contact joined)
is_suspended: boolean: membership privileges suspended due to overdue payments (should be a calculated value available through API but not stored in table)
MembershipPaymentStatus: value from MembershipPaymentStatus table (see below) (should be a calculated value available through API but not stored in table)
There needs to be a way of geolocating a member to various levels of regions/jurisidictions. I suggest building separate 'groups' for this, and having a hook interface that would accept geolocating information such as an address or lat/long and return a particular value for each such geographic level (eg riding/constituency ID). We currently track FederalRiding, ProvincialRiding, and MunicipalWard. Others such as PublicSchoolWard might be useful. We don't currently have map layers or postal code lookups for all lower level jurisdictions. Associated with each level would be a table providing names of region/jurisidiction/riding/constituency for a given ID. Given the need to redistrict, it would useful for there to be a date associated with each level, so users could specify either old or new boundaries in the leadup to an election under new boundaries. Manual override of the actual geolocation is necessary to accomodate people who wish to keep their membership in ridings other than where they live.
While we do not yet have map layers for this, we do track FederalPoll, ProvincialPoll and MunipalPoll using information from voters lists.
Associated with each regional group would be some entries in an Access Control List (ACL). In particular, for us, we would want Membership Secretaries for each federal riding and provincial riding to be able to view information, enter offline membership payments for people in their riding, and run reports detailed below. Note that membership in the federal party is the same as membership in the provincial party for our purposes. Perhaps other organizations would like the ability to track membership separately for different jurisdictional levels in the same database.
Separate ACL entries would allow central provincial and federal administrators to change data in any riding.
Individuals should be able to view their own membership status. People should have the option of exposing their membership to either other members or the general public for the purposes of grassroots up organizing through events, etc. I'm not sure how fine-grained this should be: perhaps separate permissions for anonymous site email, email, IM, postal address, phone, cell, etc., with an option of setting all at once for convenience. Administrators should have option of setting the default for these permissions.
Entries (configurable by admin)
Initializing: first payment has not cleared bank
New: first year of membership
Renewed: membership has been paid for current year
Grace: membership has not been paid for current year but membership privileges still extended
Unrenewed: membership has not been paid for current year and grace period if any is over
Lapsed: membership has not been paid for current or previous year
Inactive: membership has not been for current or two previous years
Entries (configurable by admin)
Calculated value of Current status is set through admin interface. Default values for current:
Grace (??)
Sample entries (configurable by admin)
Individual $25
Student / Not gainfully employed $5
Senior $5
Family $0
Lifetime $0 - never expires
Complimentary $0
Sponsor $100
Benefactor $1000
Patron $2500
Membership: FK to Membership
Payment: FK to Contribution (http://objectledge.org/confluence/display/CRM/CiviDonate+Specification#CiviDonateSpecification-Contribution)
Set values for days through the admin interface; maybe allow creation of more categories of late payments
PaidInFull - fully paid up
PaymentUpToDate - recurrent payments up to date but full amount not yet received
PaymentLate- recurrent payments are 0 - 60 days overdue
PaymentOverdue - recurrent payments are > 60 days overdue
A member's PaymentStatus is determined by checking whether there are unpaid pledges associated with membership. These pledges need to be created when setting up memberships for pre-authorized credit card payments, pre-authorized chequing account payments, and for post-dated cheques.
Need hook(s) to do things like the following:
Family membership records must be linked to head of household record, who must have a non-Family membership type
Status of family memberships is the same as that of the head of household record
Status of lifetime members is always Renewed
Benefactors and Patrons are automatically renewed once.
In an admin interface, it would be useful to be able to set the following:
Membership Year Type: enum: rolling (default - means at date of payment), fixed
Fixed Membership Year Start: date (default January 1)
Fixed Membership Payments after this date cover following calendar year as well (default to December 31, ie no extra coverage; my organization uses October 31)
Grace period: Unrenewed membership privileges extend for this length of time, renewals in this period include grace period when calculating membership expiration date (integer: months: default 0)
It is necessary to support membership payment dates different than entry dates for payments (already in donation payment spec).
Currently a batch job is run to update membership status once all year end data has been entered and validated through returns of bank deposit data. There is a need to support year end processing where not all transactions can be entered before the end of the year. Through this period it is necessary to be able to produce reports based on a report date of either the old year (eg December 31) or the new year (eg January 10), with membership status appearing correctly. I imagine this could be implemented by having the report do some special calculations for membership status using report date, current date, and an indicator about whether year end processing was completed.
Detail Reports options:
Sort orders (sample):
last name, first name, middle name
street name, street type, street direction, street number, street number suffix, apartment number
allow odd and even number street numbers to be sorted separately for reports
group by household or not
Potential sort orders:
postal code
Summary reports:
Membership totals and percentage by month by MembershipType
Membership totals and percentage by month by MembershipType compared to previous and second previous years
Option to include payment type (perhaps other things too) in previous reports.
Integration with email and mail and phone campaign reporting to determine success ratios for membership signups and renewals, and tracking of this into future years (eg we're having trouble renewing the tsunami inspired members, but not with all our other members).
Changes to membership information and payment information need to be tracked including the users who made them and the date.

must be comforting to live in la-la land (mentally that is). would suggest a little reality therapy. tune into the Red River Freethinkers blog and mix it up with the hard core atheists that "live" there.

Apprentice Runner Up 2012 Gets Financial Backing For Food Website
Apprentice 2012 runner up, Nick Holzherr, has received a large sum of money as financial backing towards his idea, Whisk. Holzherr has received £177,000 in investment to launch his idea that he pitched to Sir Alan Sugar during the final of The Apprentice 2012.
The Whisk service is intended to create shopping lists of ingredients based on recipes that are stored online. It is designed to be integrated into online recipe sites and link people though to high street supermarkets and food retailers to be able to process the request with a simple one click process. The user would also be able to create shopping lists to be printed out and then take their shopping list with them to the supermarket next time they go.
During the show, Sir Alan Sugar was not completely sold on the idea, stating that he didn't see the need for it, and that it wouldnt be a product that he would be wishing to use or see the value in investing in. However since the show finished it would appear that Holzherr has been in undated with people saying that it would be a service that they would like to see on the internet and would be something that they would support.
Nick is hopeful that this start up company will prove to Sir Alan that in fact he made a mistake by turning down his idea and will show that he can make a large sum of money from the idea.
With a large number of recipes now based online, and a large number of users using this as their main source of getting new recipes to try out at home, Whisk as an idea has got great potential to take off and be used on a wide scale with the correct marketing strategy put behind it.
One of the investors to buy into the Whisk idea stated:
Sir Alan Sugar, is well known for being a key investor in new start up businesses and is very successful at what he does, however it will be interesting to see if on the launch of this website if he in fact did pick the wrong candidate from the final few that he could have chosen from.
Whisk has opened its doors to anyone wishing to be one of the very first users of the site, as well as promising a new App that will be released on the App store. The App promises to give the users tips to help cut down in food wastage as well as giving recipe tips and a place for users to save their favourite recipes and shopping lists for future reading.

[Android] Flash Blink allows you to use the rear flash on your device as a notifications indicator
Posted By Briley Kenney On July 25, 2013 @ 7:09 AM In Android | No Comments
[1]Believe it or not, the rear flash on your mobile device can actually be used for a lot more than just a camera flash. My fiancée, for example, has her iPhone set to illuminate the flash whenever she receives a notification. In the dark, this can get a little blinding, to say the least. That being said, I've always been a little envious, because it's a pretty cool way to know that you have a new message, email or voicemail. Flash Blink is a free Android application that will allow you to use the rear flash on your device for various notifications.
Main Functionality
[2]Flash Blink is an Android application that will actually turn the rear camera flash on your device into a notification alert, just like the LED indicator. With the app, you can also turn your device into a portable flashlight when you need a little extra light. Of course, if you don't have a device equipped with a rear flash then this app will be utterly useless to you.
Now, before we begin I'll point out that this feature is not new by any means. In fact, there are quite a few apps available in the Google Play store, which offer the same functionality. Just keep that in mind.
[3]When you first start up the application you'll be presented with a very simple screen that has a centered flashlight icon. Tapping on the screen, or the icon will turn on the rear flash. It remains on until you disable the light by tapping on the screen again. This allows you to use your phone as a flashlight in the dark for various reasons. I find this feature quite useful, because I always have my phone on me and there are times where I need it in low-light situations. Seriously, who carries around a flashlight all the time?
While the light is active, a notification icon will appear in the Android shade. You can effectively return to the homescreen on your device and interact with other apps and the light will remain on. You can either return to Flash Blink, or use the notification icon to disable the light.
The settings menu is where you can configure the various uses of the rear facing flash on your device. In the general settings you can enable or disable using the flash to notify of incoming calls, SMS, alarms or third party app notifications.
In addition, there are advanced options for each of those general settings. They essentially allow you to configure how the rear flash acts when there's a particular notification. It's pretty straightforward stuff really. You can do things like repeat the flash continuously, change the repeat interval, change the delay between the flash and notification retrieval and more.
There's also a profile option which allows you to disable use of the flash for a certain period of time. This is perfect, because you can disable the flash at night while you're sleeping and then enable it again in the morning, on an automatic schedule.
[4]For reference, Flash Blink uses nearly 40MB of RAM while running which is quite a bit for a mobile app of this caliber.
I didn't encounter any serious issues with the app, and the rear flash worked exactly as advertised according to my specified settings. One thing I did notice, is that when use the rear flash as a light it can take some time before it's activated. I'm not entirely sure why this is, but it probably has something to do with the app gaining access to the hardware. The delay lasts about a second, so it's not too terrible, but if you're doing something where you need light instantly it can be a minor issue. Let's just say it's definitely possible to stub your toe while waiting for it to turn on.
[5]Flash Blink is a simple Android application that will allow you to get a little more use out of the rear flash on your device. I'm sure you already use the flash as a torch in low-light situations, and now you can also use it as a notification reminder/light. It's great for those times when you have your device face down and you can't see the LED indicator or if your device doesn't have an LED indicator. If you have ever wanted to use the rear flash on your device as a notification indicator, or if you have never thought of it before but like the idea after reading this review, this is a good app to check out.

Where to go. How to get there.
Looking for a picture-perfect view of the Sign?
For many visitors to Los Angeles, there is no more coveted photo than a shot of the world famous Sign. Though it is visible from all over the city from its lofty perch on Mt. Lee, it can actually be surprisingly difficult to get a well angled shot. Many are surprised to learn that it's actually illegal to hike to (or basically get anywhere near) the Sign, which is set well back behind restricting gates and protected by security cameras and Park Rangers.
With our insider's photo guide to the Sign, you'll beat the crowds and get that perfect photo you were hoping for. (Commercial photographers and filmmakers, please consult our "Filming the Sign" page for information on getting the proper permits.)

I did this route in 1994. At the time the bolting situation in the park was sketchy, and I worked at the park and was sort of in charge of enforcing climbing regs, so I never reported it. Duh. It's a great splitter. Might be more like 12c or 12d, but I could never rate that stuff. Very finger size dependent. If you've got Jimmy Deans it'll feel easier. Needs more ascents for a real consensus. We would leave a TR on the thing for weeks at a time and go run laps on it after work. I thought I put in three bolts, not two?

An arteriogram is a test that allows a doctor to see the arteries on an x-ray. A contrast dye is injected into the arteries to make them visible. The test makes images that can be used to diagnose and treat problems in the arteries.
An arteriogram is done to check the arteries for narrowing, bulging, or blockages. These could be signs of disease.
Plaque Blocking an ArteryCopyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc. |
This test could be done to diagnose conditions such as:
Sometimes, the doctor may treat problems found during the arteriogram. The doctor may dissolve a clot or do angioplasty with or without stenting.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
At your appointment before the test, your doctor will likely:
In the days before your procedure, you will need to:
Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before your procedure.
You will have an IV placed in your arm to give you medications. These medications will make you feel sleepy and comfortable.
For this procedure, you will have a catheter placed in your groin or elbow so that the doctor can inject the contrast dye. The skin where the catheter will be placed will be cleaned. The doctor will make a tiny cut. The doctor will then insert a hollow needle into the artery. A thin wire will be placed into the artery. The catheter will be threaded over the wire, and the wire will be removed.
The doctor will use the catheter to inject a contrast dye into your artery. The dye may cause you to feel warm or flushed for a few moments. The doctor will take x-rays to see how the contrast dye is moving through your arteries. You will need to lie still to prevent blurry images.
About one hour.
Although the procedure is not painful, you may feel:
After the test, the catheter will be removed. The IV will also be removed from your arm.
Immediately following the procedure:
When you return home, take these steps:
Call your doctor if any of these occurs:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Your Pop Alternative Source
Hiya everyone! I figured I should give everyone the basics about me!
I've been singing for five years. I'm an award-winning vocalist: classically trained and I can write my own songs. (Trust me, that one's much harder than it sounds! Darn harmonics!!!) I have a tenor vocal range (I'm a belter too.) that spans three octaves. My vocal style ranges from Rock, Pop, and Alternative.
In addition to singing, I'm a stage and film actor. I have not had any major film roles, but trust me - I'm very theatrical/animated.
Moreover, I'd like to add a tiny hint that very few know: I'm a novelist. I'm currently writing two works of fiction with significantly different styles.
Please!!! Follow me on Twitter and like my Facebook fanpage!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via my Cherrytree Records profile (AKA the site you are on).

NH resort won't be open for 1st voting this yearDIXVILLE NOTCH, N.H. (AP) — Voters in the tiny village of Dixville, N.H., have cast some of the nation's first ballots for president for more than 50 years. But not this year. Balsams Grand Resort Hotel will be closed for the Nov. 6 election. The village's 10 registered voters can still continue the midnight tradition at a local ski lodge. The Victorian- and Alpine-style complex about 20 miles from Canada is closed for renovations. Residents have cast their ballots for president at midnight in the wood-paneled Ballot Room on New Hampshire's primary day and the nation's Election Day since 1960. Two local businessmen bought the nearly 150-year-old resort and hope to re-open it next year. The only other place casting midnight votes is Hart's Location in the White Mountains. They began the tradition in 1948. Most Popular |

The test command is used to determine exit status on numerous tests that can be performed in scripts. The test command does not produce any output it simply is checking for the exit status. Note if you use variables with test be sure to enclose them in double quotes so the test receives an argument.
if [ "$file" ] ...
The test command acts as a control structure, in other words it alters the order of execution of commands. One set of commands is executed if true, another set of commands is executed if false. The test command is a builtin command that uses an if structure at the start of the script to verify that you have entered at least one argument.
The test command uses many different expressions or options to test with.
The symbol "[" is a symbolic link to test and is a shell builtin.
type [
[ is a shell builtin
You can test the outcome of any command using "echo $?" after the command has executed. In this example, the semi-colon is used to execute the command on the same line. You can see the output is "0" or success.
who; echo $?
2009-07-20 18:18 (:0)
mike pts/0 2009-07-20 18:19 (:0.0)
mike pts/1 2009-07-20 18:25 (:0.0)
This same testing process is easily done in shell scripts. In this example, an attempt to ping an IP Address fails with the exit code of "2".
ping -c3 188.8.131.52
echo $?
sh test.sh
connect: Network is unreachable
Now change it to a successful connection and you not only get command output but the test is successful.
ping -c3 127.0.0.1

There are many benefits to being active during pregnancy. You may not feel great every day of your pregnancy, but exercise should make you feel better overall and may help prepare you for labor and childbirth.
There are some conditions or symptoms that may make exercising during pregnancy inadvisable. Talk with your health care provider about the exercise that is right for you.
Recommendations NOT to exercise during pregnancy may be made in cases of:
If you continue to exercise or start an exercise program while pregnant, it is important to discuss it with your health care provider who can advise you about what type of exercise routine is best.
According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), exercise may:
It may be easier to exercise earlier in your pregnancy than during the last three months (third trimester) of pregnancy. Choosing safe exercises for you and your baby is important because some positions, as your weight and balance change, may become uncomfortable or have potentially harmful effects. After 20 weeks of pregnancy, you should not do exercises that require lying flat on your back, because this position may make blood circulation more difficult.
For a total body workout that is low stress on joints and muscles, you may consider walking, swimming, or riding a stationary bike. It is wise to start slowly and gradually increase the length of time you exercise. Always warm-up and cool down afterwards. With the extra weight from pregnancy, your body has to work harder than it did before. Exercise increases the flow of oxygen and blood to the muscles and diverts it away from other parts of the body. This makes it important to not overdo the workout, or do any exercise that is too strenuous.
The intensity, duration, and frequency of the workout should not cause pain, shortness of breath, or excessive tiredness. Remember, the goal of exercise is for you to gain general benefits during the pregnancy, but not to do anything that would have detrimental effects on you or your baby.
Hydration is always important with exercise but it is even MORE important when you are pregnant. You should drink up to 1 pint of liquid before exercising and 1 cup of liquid every 20 minutes during exercise to maintain enough hydration for you and your baby. Even if you don't feel thirsty after exercising, it is important to refresh the fluids that you lost during the exercise. You can lose up to 1-2 quarts of fluid per hour in perspiration.
The following recommendations are based on the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Academy of Family Physicians:
Recommended exercises include:
Sports to avoid because they are high risk for fall or trauma include:
Stop exercising and call your doctor if you have pain, vaginal bleeding, rapid heartbeat, uterine contractions, chest pain, fluid leaking from the vagina, dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath, or difficulty walking.
If you are an accomplished athlete, you may continue your workout routine. However, exercises that require using a lot of oxygen should be avoided to ensure enough oxygen is reaching the fetus. Active women should avoid contact sports during all stages of their pregnancy.
If you are not an experienced athlete or exerciser, pregnancy is not a time to begin a rigorous routine. Exercises that maintain muscle tone, such as walking and swimming, are good choices throughout pregnancy. For activities that require balance, such as water and snow skiing, it's best to be cautious throughout pregnancy, especially toward the end of the first trimester when the uterus "expands" out of the pelvis and begins to alter your center of gravity. With an altered center of gravity, you can be at an increased risk for accidents that could have a negative effect on yourself and your pregnancy. All activities that involve profound changes in pressure or profound physical stress, such as scuba diving and triathlons, should be avoided at ALL times during pregnancy.
If you are exercising during pregnancy and fall, especially if you land on your belly, seek medical attention. Trauma to your uterus can cause the placenta to tear away from the wall of your uterus. This condition, called an abruption, can be life-threatening to both you and your fetus.

Open Sourcing the Design of Civil Infrastructure. Most social computing applications have only been attempted on projects with relatively modest technical demands.
By shifting current modality of Civil Engineering to open-source approach, industry can be radically transformed by enlisting Citizen Engineers from around the globe. This shift was enabled by developing 5 different cyber-platforms (couched in 6 experiments) that allow crowds to collaborate across 4 dimensions: sharing software, sharing hardware, pooling their collective knowledge and pooling their effort in crowdsourced activities.
Each platform is backed by schemas that paraskill complex engineering tasks for these non-expert crowds, while social science informs how best to maximize their attraction, retention, participation and performance.

Students will learn how to gather evidence, use lab equipment, analyze DNA and other skills.
This is the first time the camp will be in Sugar Land after the last three were in Victoria.
At the end of the camp, students will earn a certificate of completion.
"Students will learn quite a bit, starting with DNA and genetics, the basic groundwork for all of the life sciences," said Gunasekera, who has worked as a forensics expert in court cases. "One thing we will do is extract DNA material from hair samples."
The biology professor said students who study DNA and forensics can enter a variety of industries including medicine, nursing, genetic and biomedical engineering, research science, and lab analysis in forensics, microbiology, environmental and other health-related fields.
Nancy Penry, UHV training and development coordinator, will handle registration and help organize the camp. UHV will host a Plant Biotechnology Camp in Victoria and Sugar Land later this summer.
"Dr. Gunasekera does a great job with the students, and they really like the camp," Penry said. "This is a wonderful opportunity for students to study under a truly motivating university professor."

With more angst than you can shake a stick at, High Art sets a new course for the American indie film. Instead of the usual Scorsese-esque buddy confab, we have something closer to the funky Fassbinder world of marginalized, pansexual depressives. First-time feature director Lisa Cholodenko, who also scripted, is enamored with the slow rot of blasted lives. She films long, languorous takes in a verite style that recalls not only Fassbinder but also Andy Warhol and John Cassavetes. It's all so glamorously unglamorous.
But this arty dirge has a conventional beat. High Art is all about the wages of sin, and in Cholodenko's world, selling out is the worst vice. Selling out is what Lucy refused to do ten years ago when she dropped out of photography because she couldn't tolerate the commercialism of the slick magazine scene. Syd (Radha Mitchell), a glorified intern trying to make a name for herself at the posh photo mag Frame, coaxes her into delivering a spread of "personal" photos. But what price glory? As Lucy's deadline approaches, she starts reverting to her old belligerent ways. She also begins a tryst with Syd, who is so gaga about Lucy that Syd's boyfriend (Gabriel Mann) understandably has a snit.
Cholodenko wants to be New Wave, but her attitudes are old-style: She makes it easy to condemn the high-powered New York City photography scene by making everybody in it a rank opportunist. The magazine's top editors, played by David Thornton and Anh Duong, are unfeeling; they're nonartists who covet the souls of the artists they control. (We don't even see them do drugs -- that's how unfeeling they are.) Even Syd, who seems to be dreamwalking through her career machinations, is rapped by Cholodenko for "exploiting" Lucy.
Despite the film's intentions, it's difficult to dismiss the notion that the magazine editors are right: Lucy is a big pain in the butt, and it would probably do her a world of good to get back on track with something halfway "commercial." Lucy's assignment for Frame, which she accepts mostly to placate Syd, is supposed to be an examination of her own life. Not an easy task, especially when the life you've been living is stuporous. But the job has the potential to revitalize Lucy's career. Cholodenko sets her up as a renegade artist with a startling vision, but we have to take that vision on faith; her photos, mostly blurry, artsy shots of her lovers and friends, don't inspire the requisite awe. (They were actually taken by JoJo Whilden, a long-time friend and collaborator of Cholodenko.) Later, when Lucy takes pictures of Syd in various states of undress, we're supposed to see them as a revelation -- the unbaring of Lucy's soul.
But, again, what we see isn't so much high art as ad art. That pouty, spiritual look was long ago co-opted by Calvin Klein and everybody else. It's the soulfulness of soullessness, and it sells everything from perfume to underwear to, well, movies such as High Art.
As if Lucy weren't weighted down with enough woefulness, she's also given a German mother (Tammy Grimes) who survived the Holocaust. We keep expecting Cholodenko to do something with this tidbit, but it's in the movie only to make the rue resonate. Lucy's mother is German. Lucy's girlfriend is German. There's a metaphor there somewhere. Mom also provides the dough to subsidize her daughter's wayfaring. Being romantically mournful doesn't come cheap.
Cholodenko may want to condemn her druggies and wastrels for ruining their lives, but she's also clearly enamored of them. There's something a little unsettling about the way we're also meant to be smitten. Her approach is reminiscent of Larry Clark's Kids (1995), which also aestheticized messed-up lives while pretending to be brutally honest about them. Cholodenko has a graceful, free-floating style, but it's deceptive: We may think we're getting a laid-back, nonjudgmental overview, but in fact we're being handed a bill of goods.
What cuts through the bull are a few of the performances. Mitchell has a plaintive quality that makes you care about Syd's dreamwalk. We can see how she might slip unawares into the lush ruins of Lucy's world. Clarkson may be playing a camp vamp, but she understands how Greta dramatizes her own destruction; the play-acting has taken over the actor.
Ally Sheedy, who hasn't appeared in anything of note in years, comes back with the best performance of her career. She's been saddled with the reputation of a superannuated brat-packer, but even in her Breakfast Club (1985) days she seemed sharper and edgier than her roles required. She was an actress waiting to happen.

No one is useless to God. No one, at any point in their life is useless to God--not a little child, not the unattractive, no the clumsy, not the tired, not the discourged. God uses his children. |
rkay 10/17/2001 14:06 |
Please don't look at what you don't have and look at what you do. God will always bless all his children but those that are grateful for what they have right this minute he will give and outstanding abundance of his wonderful blessings. |

Please remember me and my family in your prayers.God has blessed us in so many ways with improved health for my husband and youngest daughter.Please pray that He will send my oldest daughter her mate.It hurts to see her lonely and sad.She is a wonderful,caring,precious person and very responsible to her job and many volunteer projects.She has been saved but is not in church right now.I hope there is someone who needs her and would love and appreciate her and that she could love and appreciate.I know God hears and answers prayer and I believe He wants us to pray for our happiness and be thankful for the many blessings He gives us daily.Ther is nothing more powerful than prayer so I am asking your help in praying for my daughter and all others who are alone and need someone special in their life.I am thankful for the prayer circles and thankful for the love and watchcare of our heavenly Father.Love in Him |
Judy_Oasis 10/23/2001 05:00 |
I ask for prayer because I feel very lonely after I lost my Mom last year. She was my best friend and very thing. After that I get closer to GOD because He's the only one who's with me today, tomorrow and forever. Please pray for me I'm writing an exams. |
iwanttogotoheaven 10/23/2001 09:44 |
Peace and Blessings to all who read this. I understand Judy Oasis what it's like losing a mother. The pain at times is unbearable. People can say that they know how you feel but until they experience that kind of loss they don't know. By me being an only child I know loneliness you are feeling. It's been 5 yrs. for me but it sometimes feels like yesterday since I've seen or spoken to my mom. When you feel like you do sometime, ask God to wrap you in his arms and don't let go. After repeating this a couple times,see don't you feel better! |
kittysan 10/25/2001 15:13 |
Heavenly Father, creator of all things good, I humbly ask that you hold us in your warm embrace and bring us comfort. Many of us are live alone or may simply feel alone. You know each of our hearts and our own personal situation. Some of us may be in poor health and are now shut-in when we used to be able to go out, some of us have recently lost a much loved one, and some of us are single because we are waiting for the right person with which to share our life. The world is a big place sometimes and it can seem so impersonal and cold. Help us to find beauty, joy and light in each day, where there may seem to be none. Help us to forge positive and meaningful friendships with others that will help to sustain us, whether it be the neighbor next door or a cyber neighbor on the other side of Planet Earth. Thank you for our creating our animal companions who bring many us much joy and happiness each day. Please comfort those who have lost beloved pets as you comforted me when I lost mine. Please help us to see that we are never really alone and that you are always with us. Help us to feel your presence and see your light each day, Father. We thank you for your blessings. Amen. |
rkay 10/26/2001 10:50 |

My prayers go out to those who feel alone and isolated in this world. For many years I have been alone and I know how difficult it is to remain steadfast and strong. I am grateful to have found this group and to be reminded that I'm not completely alone, that there are others out there who understand loneliness. |

To those who also find themselves alone in a busy world, I pray to bring our selves away from our fears and seek the courage which is needed to be the loving persons God plans us to be. |

To those of us who are alone, I have found that if I simply can't stand it--I will talk to Jesus as if HE were beside me and tell him exactly what's is bothering me (of course HE already knows), I will find that the lonely, empty feeling is gone. I did that one day before I went to eat, and I found myself actually enjoying the meal by myself better than if I had been with someone. THIS WAS MANY YEARS AGO AND TO THINK, I HAVE ONLY TRIED IT A FEW TIMES SINCE, BUT IT WORKS! HE IS REAL . . . . . HIS TOMB IS EMPTY! |

Studies Seeking Healthy Subjects
"Cognitive Control and Obesity" IRB Number: HUM00067783 Principal Investigators: Dr. Amy Rothberg, John Jonides, Ph.D., and Lynn Ossher, M.S. Purpose: The goal of this study is to identify ways people think that may help determine whether they are obese or overweight, and whether they are able to successfully lose weight. We are interested in whether cognitive control, the ability to restrain thought and behavior based on the task at hand, is predictive of successful weight loss. Research has shown that cognitive or mental factors may be important in weight loss efforts, and this study is being done to learn whether there are specific cognitive processes that may be important in this way. Study Description: In each session of this study, you will be asked to complete a set of computer tasks assessing memory and attention. You will also be asked to complete a set of pencil and paper surveys and questionnaires that assess things like your knowledge of word meanings, and your attitudes and behaviors toward food, eating, hunger, body image, dieting and your weight history. Each participant will complete two testing sessions within one year. We expect each testing session to last approximately two hours, and the spacing between testing sessions will vary for different participants. Participants will also be contacted to complete a third, follow-up session within two years of their first session. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: * Age Range: 18-65 years EXCLUSIONS:
Location of Study Visits: Ann Arbor, MI "Identification of phenotypic factors that predict success for weight loss and long-term weight maintenance" IRB Number: HUM00030088 Principal Investigator: Dr. Amy Rothberg ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: * Age Range: From 30 To 70 years Location of Study Visits: Ann Arbor, MI "Tissue-Specific Metabolic Reprogramming in Diabetic Complications. Glycemic Clamp Studies to Determine the Real Time Synthesis Rates of Glucose Derived Metabolites in Individuals With Type 1 Diabetes and Healthy Controls" IRB Number: HUM00060967 Principal Investigator: Dr. Rodica Pop-Busui Purpose: To assess steady state and dynamic metabolite changes in subjects with type 1 diabetes with and without microvascular complications and to understand differences from non-diabetics in metabolite levels and flux. Study Description: The hypothesis is that diabetic complications arise from tissue-specific metabolic reprogramming resulting in alterations in fuel utilization that lead to dysfunction of the tissue. To test this hypothesis, we will use sensitive and specific mass-spectrometer-based metabolomic analysis to measure steady-state metabolite levels in plasma and urine from controls subjects and subjects with T1DM, without and with diabetic complications, during euglycemic and hyperglycemic clamp studies.

Javier Tebas says that Barcelona and Real Madrid are open to collectively selling broadcast rights in La Liga, but only if their income does not decrease.
With every club negotiating rights deals separately, the top two currently account for a 50 per cent share of the total amount broadcasters pay out to La Liga's clubs each year.
According to the Spanish Football League's newly-elected President, Barca and Madrid may be open to reducing that percentage share, if the clubs grouped together to sell broadcast rights in a collective deal, but only if their actual earnings do not drop.
"The television rights will be sold together in the 2015-16 season or the following one," Tebas told AS this week.
"We know what is needed and how they will be sold, if only the satellite rights or for those abroad too…the clubs will have to talk.
"Barca and Madrid have collaborated in shortening the income gap between themselves and the others, more so Barca…
"But, any kind of collective agreement is implicit that Madrid and Barca charge €136m per year for the rights for League and Cup matches, hence they will not see a decrease.
"The current total rights is €800m, I believe it will reach €1,000m. The international market may be important, but not greatly so, there are only three that have the ability: Murdoch, Carlos Slim and Al Jazeera."

DIY Cotton Boutonnieres
Usually when I see the three letters D-I-Y I immediately think to myself, there is no way I can do that. Many of the 'do it yourself' projects I see on wedding blogs are so involved, by the time you are finished you've actually spent more on time and materials than you would have just purchasing the item. That is precisely why Etsy exists. It's a online retailer dedicated to the 'do-it-yourself' projects that you can't do yourself. So trust me when I say, you can do this! These boutonnieres are simple and beautiful and very inexpensive. Hooray!
I knew I wanted my groom and his men to wear cotton boutonnieres, but I was having a hard time finding them. My sweet friend, and newly married gal, Leah had just finished with her copy of Handmade Weddings and passed it along to me. The book is chock full of wonderful projects on every skill level and the cotton boutonnieres seemed particularly doable. I bought the texas tallow (the little white berry looking things), lavender and floral tape from Save-On-Crafts. The beautiful fluffy cotton came from Floral Cotton, and I purchased the ribbon and boutonniere pins from Michael's. Here is a step by step tutorial of the process. Let me know how your cotton boutonnieres turn out!! xox
Here's what you will need for 14 boutonnieres:
- Cotton (I bought 24 bolls, because I, of course, broke a few stems)
- Texas Tallow (two bunches)
- Lavender (optional, 1 bunch)
- Floral Tape
- Ribbon (I chose pink to match the bridesmaids' dresses)
- Boutonniere Pins
- Hot Glue Gun
- Scissors
the goods: cotton, texas tallow, lavender, floral tape, ribbon, and pins.
The DIY Bride's Bible: Handmade Weddings
Simply wrap the floral tape around the texas tallow and cotton so it stays together. Then place a small dab of glue on the top of the stem to secure the ribbon and wrap ribbon from top to bottom and back up. Add one more dab of glue to secure the end of the ribbon.
Cut a separate length of ribbon and tie into a bow. I secured the bow in place with an extra dab of hot glue.
I made these two for our sweet ring bearers.
The whole lot! 12 cotton & 2 lavender!

theweddinghunter Hi –
Nice handywork. I'm also panicked by anything that suggests being handmade. Cheese on toast is ususally my max home production capability!
I like these boutonnieres very much, they're unusual. I have a hunt for different types of bouonniere on the go – would you be happy for me to use one of your images and credit back to you?
Nice post!

Tori Quite lovely! What a fantastic idea!
Julia Hi Tory! Thank you! And congrats again on your wedding!! :)
Sherry Thanks for posting this!! I have been looking for one with the cotton bolls. I do have a question though… Did your cotton stay connected to the bur & stem without doing anything to it? I just ordered my cotton bolls and they seem very loose like the cotton is going to just fall out. Any ideas of what I could do to scure them? THANKS!!
Julia Hi Sherry! Yes, actually some of the bolls were sort of coming apart from the bur. I just put a little dollop of hot glue in the middle of the bur and pushed the cotton back down. That has seemed to work great. Good luck with yours! I would love to see photos when you are done :)
