Best Dressed Celebrities and Models Week of April 16, 2012
This Week's Best Dressed
>> From Milan to Tokyo to Palm Springs, the week's events were as diverse as they were far flung — and each locale provided its fair share of style to inspire. At Coachella, some of the week's major style moments were had by festivalgoers Kate Bosworth, Emma Watson, and Dree Hemingway; Bosworth and Watson each sported Mulberry, while Hemingway opted for Dolce & Gabbana. In Tokyo, at the opening of Tommy Hilfiger's store in Ometesando, Jessica Alba wore what proved to be one of the week's biggest trends: a sleek menswear-inspired suit; similar styles were seen on both Emma Roberts and Coco Rocha elsewhere during the week as well.
Stella McCartney's designs were in heavy rotation at the premiere of her father's My Valentine video series in Los Angeles; Miranda Kerr and Gwen Stefani were among those who wore looks from the designer. But perhaps no one had a chicer week than Leelee Sobieski. The statuesque star wore a flowing Boy. By Band of Outsiders gown to the premiere of her new film The Five-Year Engagement on Tuesday, then on Wednesday turned up to the Vanity Fair Tribeca Film Festival party in a dramatic Jil Sander frock — and looked majorly stunning in both.

Addison, Texas' planned new water tower is destined to be noticed — and not just because it will be 195-feet tall. The water tower will be among the first in the nation to be powered by wind turbines mounted on top.
Ten eight-foot-tall wind turbines will supply enough power to run the tower as well as street lights on Arapaho Road in this suburb north of Dallas. Adding to its uniqueness, the $5 million project will include a community classroom in the pedestal base, where school children will be able to learn about wind energy and water distribution.
The project also calls for use of native and drought-tolerant landscaping.
"We wanted to do something that looked nice and also was as sustainable as possible," said public works director Nancy Cline. "The city has always been cognizant of the impact of decisions in the design process and we are always thinking about the future and sustainability. "
The tower also will serve as a piece of civic art. It is being designed by Dallas artist Brad Goldberg, who is known for his ability to fuse sculpture, landscape and urban design.
"He has worked a lot with projects particularly like some of the DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) areas and the Trinity River Corridor with Dallas," Cline said. "He is able to understand what the circumstances are and what the constraints are and still think outside the box."
Fort Worth engineering firm Freese and Nichols, a partner on the project, looked at possibly using solar to generate power but ultimately decided wind was the right solution. "It came down to efficiency, and we believed wind would deliver better results," said Jessica Brown, Freese's project manager for the tower.
The project will use vertical axis wind turbines from Cleanfield Energy. This kind of wind turbine rotates about the shaft's vertical axis and is particularly well suited to urban areas because it can capture energy regardless of the wind direction.
In the next few months, the city will install one of the wind turbines on a 40-foot pole. An anemometer will be placed on top and on the city's existing tower at Addison Circle to measure the wind speed. "We're hoping that will let you read out what the whole set of units is producing," Cline said.
The project, planned at Arapaho Road and Surveyor Boulevard, is expected to go to bid later this year, with construction starting in early 2010.

Episode Information
The population and behavior of birds around Connecticut have both changed dramatically, often as a result of what appears to be a pincer movement of habitat destruction and climate change.
As we know, you can't pull one animal out of the ecosystem jigsaw puzzle. What happens to one has implications for all. So today, we'll look at changes in the state's bird population and -- because we like to be positive, even about climate change -- talk about some useful steps being taken to save as much habitat as possible.
And on the less friendly end, what about Canada geese? They seem to have too good a niche. In the second part of our show we'll discuss the degree to which they're a problem and what constitutes acceptable "abatement." If you know what I mean.
You can join the conversation. Leave comments below or e-mail email@example.com.
Listener E-mail from Alan
Do not leave the swan out of the discussion about troublesome birds. Very aggressive, clears out ducks, grebes, and other birds, destructive of habitat.
Those who observe them and simplistic think what a grand and noble bird miss that epitomizes the harmony of nature. Wrong!!
Listener E-mail from Tom
Just a note.....you might have brought this up but, How about pullin' a Chuck Dickens and giving out a few Christmas geese to those with need of Christmas Dinner?

Samsung phones | Samsung Galaxy Fit review
The Samsung Galaxy Fit is a budget smartphone (£10 per month or just under £100 on PAYG) running Android 2.2 (Froyo). Normally these kinds of phones are a bit disappointing, with so many compromises made to meet the price, often hiding the true power of Android and making for an uncomfortable user experience. But for the first time, Samsung have managed to distil the essential features of a high-end smartphone into a fantastically cheap package without really cutting back on any essentials. The phone looks quite chic, being a lot smaller than the biggest smartphones, and with a smart metal-effect finish. A single physical button and two touch-sensitive navigation buttons sit below the screen, giving the device a smart and uncluttered appearance. The phone sits quite wide in the hand, although the curved corners help to make for a comfortable fit and it feels "right" nestling comfortably in the palm. The weight is not great, but at 108g it has "presence". Usually the big compromise made on this kind of entry-level smartphone is the screen size. Not so with the Galaxy Fit. The 3.3 inch screen is a good size (not much smaller than the iPhone 4) and the TouchWiz user interface and Android operating system work well on this screen size. The capacitive screen is nicely responsive to the touch as well. We've commented many times before on this website about what a user-friendly combination this is. Perhaps not quite as good as HTC's Sense user interface, or Apple's OS, but pretty darn close. If you're new to touchscreens or smartphones, you'll find setting up and customising the phone pretty straightforward. Importing contacts from gmail, facebook, etc is done automatically for you. The Social Hub feature ties your social networking sites, instant messengers and email accounts together for an integrated approach to messaging. We don't know why Samsung chose to release the Galaxy Fit with Android 2.2 instead of the latest 2.3 version, but you won't find much missing and there may be an upgrade later this year. In any case, with now over 150,000 apps available to download from the Android Market, you'll find plenty to entertain you here. Another nice surprise is in the quality of the camera. A 5 megapixel camera with autofocus in a sub-£100 phone? What were Samsung thinking of? This is one of the best cameras in its price range. There's no flash, but most phones in this price bracket don't have one either. You'll need to spend more on a HTC Wildfire if you need to take photos in the dark. The camera can also record videos, but these are rather low resolution and a bit jerky. Music and video playback are covered here, and with a decent sized screen you can actually enjoy watching video instead of feeling frustrated by it. There's also an FM radio with the facility to record directly from the radio. Sound quality isn't bad, with virtual 3D sound from the speakers, and you can make use of the 3.5mm headphone socket if you want to appreciate your music better and stop annoying fellow travellers on the bus. Another compromise that's normally made on budget smartphones is in the processor. Android is a great OS, but if the phone runs like a dog, you'll never appreciate what it can do. The galaxy Fit lives up to its name, however, and runs like a greyhound with a 600MHz processor. That's about half the speed of the fastest phones, but it's plenty big enough to power this baby. It's certainly enough to make the user interface smooth, and even demanding operations like taking a photo or playing graphically-intensive games are quite acceptable, with only occasional hitches. The phone is also fast accessing the internet, with 3G HSPA giving download speeds up to 7.2Mbps (similar to home broadband) and Wi-Fi for even faster data access when in a Wi-Fi hotspot. The Android web browser is a great tool for browsing the web, and the voice search option lets you search Google by talking to your phone. There's a virtual QWERTY keyboard with Swype support if you prefer a more conventional approach to entering text. Memory is well specified, with a generous 160MB of onboard memory and the ability to extend this to a whopping 32GB by adding a microSD memory card (a 2GB card is supplied in the sales package.) With all these goodies to play with, you'll want a battery that can power them all, and Samsung have again stepped up to the challenge, giving the Galaxy Fit a hefty 1350mAh battery, which wouldn't look out of place on a much more expensive smartphone. And with a modest processor and screen to power, you should get several days of use between charges, which is very good going by modern smartphone standards. Laugh at your iPhone-owning friends carrying their battery chargers in their pockets! You know, we weren't expecting a lot from the Samsung Galaxy Fit, but we're very impressed. There's really nothing more that we could ask for at this price. A higher screen resolution would be the bees knees, but even the more expensive HTC Wildfire can't offer this. In fact, we're thinking that the Galaxy Fit could take over from the Wildfire as our favourite budget Android phone. Samsung Galaxy Fit features include:

Sean,Uh...thanks for the response, but I'm not sure what point you were trying to get across except that I need to do Yoga. I don't know anything about Madonna except that she had a baby. I also don't know what Yoga is. I always thought it was just some weird relaxation fad, so I never looked into it. Anyway, how is Yoga going to flatten my stomach?

High pressure will push inland tonight and the hot, sunny and dry weather will continue through Saturday with highs remaining 10 to 15 degrees above normal. While highs will not be quite as hot as they were today, the difference will be hard to notice. A low pressure system in the Southwest will push north on Thursday and may provide enough instability and moisture for isolated afternoon thunderstorms along and east of the Cascades into Friday. Moisture will be the limiting factor with this disturbance but the potential is there.
This low will kick out of the area Saturday and sunny and dry conditions return. Sunday a long-wave trough will begin ushering in disturbance and thus a chance for showers and thunderstorms. The timing and strength of the disturbances is uncertain at this time, for now it's worth a mention and we will continue to monitor this system into the weekend. What is certain is that temperatures will be significantly cooler, instead of the 10 to 15 degrees above normal we've been this week, we'll be about 5 degrees below normal!
Thanks for logging on and have a great evening!

text: ABSTRACT: Short story about a woman being picked up by a man in an art gallery and then resisting him in her apartment. Although neither gallery nor artist is named, it is almost certainly the Gerhard Richter exhibit currently at the MOMA. A Richter painting accompanies the piece as a fiction illustration… The woman knows there is someone else in the room with her without turning. She looks at the painting of Ulrike, one of three related images The man asks, "Why do you think he(the artist) did it this way?" She does not answer. "I'm trying to think of what happened to them." She answers, "They committed suicide. Or the state killed them."…"They were terrorists, weren't they?" He asks. "When they're not killing other people, they're killing themselves." He pesters her, asking her if she taught art. She didn't want to tell him that she is out of work and that she'd been there three straight days, staring at paintings made from photographs of the bodies of Andreas Baader, Gudrun Enssln, and a man whose name she could not recall. Then he asks her what she saw in the paintings. "At first, I was confused, and still am, a little, But I know I love the paintings now." "Tell the truth," he said then. "You teach art to handicapped children." "I don't teach art." She replies. They go for a drink, and she has apple juice. Then they are in her apartment, a studio. She has lived there four months , before which, she had lived a nomadic existence, at least ever since her marriage failed. His cell phone rings. He tells her he is afraid to turn it off because he is afraid to miss the call that changes everything. "Maybe you're like me," he says. "You have to find yourself on the verge of something happening before you can begin to prepare for it….Tell me what you want…Because I sense you're not ready and I don't want to do something too soon…" She doesn't look at him. "I'm not one of those controlling men…Tell me what you want." "Nothing." She replies. "Conversation, talk, whatever. Affection?" His voice carries an intimacy so false it seems a little threatening. He takes off his jacket. She goes into her bathroom, closes the door, but is afraid to lock it. "Please leave." She says. She hears him unbuckling his belt, and then the zipper coming down. He comes and leans against the bathroom door, sagging against it, but not pushing. She slides the bolt quietly into the chamber, locking the door. He presses against it, sinking into the door. "Forgive me." He says. "I'm so sorry. Please. I don't know what to say." His voice is barely audible, close to a moan. She waits for him to leave. When she comes out, nothing feels the same. Bastard. She has dinner at a nearby restaurant and goes to bed early. When she returns to the museum the next day, he is alone in the gallery, seated before the painting, "Funeral," the one with the coffins and the cross.

Did Ron Paul's Excellence Turn Supporters Into Spoiled Brats?
Submitted by 12th on Wed, 08/21/2013 - 08:55I've noticed a disturbing trend lately. People are using Ron Paul's political candidacy now as a minimum acceptable benchmark as opposed to a guiding light.
Purists now are rejecting everyone else as not good enough because they're not as good as Ron. Well, who is other than Ron himself?
It's not a healthy or good thing to be a spoiled brat.
One can either be a strict purist or live in reality.
Purism wouldn't work in building a business and hiring people. In that scenario one must hire the best person they can find for each opening. To be purist is to not ever be satisfied with any hiring candidate and missing all the business opportunities.

"We are suppose to spread the Freedom Message to the people, not the politicians - they will follow if there are enough of us."
agree with that part of your statement.
"There are two million of us!"
Not like Ron Paul there aren't...sorry to say. Everyone is an angel until they get into a position of power where they have an opportunity to become corrupted. Ron Paul stood the test of time under those circumstances....many would not.

I just hate
that there are so many ignoring what the good Dr. said and leaving the republican party or not showing up and letting those who won leadership positions lose them by not showing up to party functions.
All I see on here are a bunch of worthless reposts from Breitbart and Infowars, there is very little actual content about the things that are happenign in Iowa, Maine and Nevada. Very little about the struggle we have in Colorado as well.
Dr. Paul understood that we need to take over the Republican party to be successful. It's sad so many of you didn't even give it a year.

Ron Paul has set the bar at the highest possible level.
Honesty, integrity, consistency, transparency, incorruptibility, and following the Constitution are words that describe ONLY Ron Paul. BTW, have you noticed that these words are seldom used on the Daily Paul? They have fallen out of favor and have essentially become extinct. How quickly people forget the standard set by Ron Paul and how it felt to be involved in a campaign with such high standards. That is reality. That reality is what it took to wake-up a bunch of people. Another word for this is inspiration. People were inspired by someone who held to these seemingly impossible standards, and they in turn were motivated to set very high goals for themselves. These people maximized their donations to Ron Paul, and they willingly took part in a corrupt electoral process fraught with lies and deception for the sake of supporting this idealistic, purest from Texas. In the process, they were mocked, ridiculed, and called fanatics, but they saw this process through to the end knowing that they had done the right thing and for the right reasons.
Now you are saying forget about all of that nonsense. It was just a phase, a dream with Ron Paul, not reality. What we have NOW is reality. I am one of the spoiled brats who refuses to lower what I know to be possible for an elected official to attain. Few of us would be here if Ron Paul had not set that standard. Being a purest is how each of us got here. I will be 80% supportive of any of our present Liberty candidates. However, that missing 20% is the very heart and soul of any campaign. I recognize that my standards are not attainable by anyone else, but I will not be lowering them. That is reality.

Im assuming this is a rand
Im assuming this is a rand thing, << if so >>, your argument falls short, as there are others i do think have potential, who IS NOT ron paul
Ron paul showed the standard, and rand for me keeps jumping back and forth between that standard, its getting to a point where he'll lose complete trust if he continues to do this, as youll never know if you can count on him when its needed
If this is not a rand thing, please disregard

I will not stop wanting the
I will not stop wanting the best candidate despite its possibility my friend
What i believe you are implying is to continue the lesser of two evils game, im not saying intentionally, but it is what i see you asking of me none the less
That is my stubborn conviction, i will not change to be more maneable to a representative, a representative must do their utmost best to be more maneable to their represented, on an individual level....i dont care for the apparent excuse on how hard that would be, or how hard it USED to be, in the advent of the internet

"That is my stubborn conviction, i will not change to be more maneable to a representative"
That's your right as a citizen.
I just think we've been completely spoiled by Ron. If Rand runs...he will more than likely get my vote. He has a real shot at winning...and it would be an opportunity to actually change things a little in this country. Imagine no signings of NDAA while indefinite detention is allowed...foreign aid squelched...a federal government that would allow us to do what we want with out bodies...reduced drone strikes abroad....an actual shrinking of the federal government.
Lesser of two evils? Not in my opinion....it's an option to actually get the country moving in our direction to me. Is it ron? No....but it's still lightyears from where we are now.

well saidYes, if i had those
well said
Yes, if i had those options, and rand was the only liberty candidate amongst a pack of wolves, then i can also concievably vote for rand, were i to have those options
But as things stand now, if those were my option, ill always be looking for a better candidate, THE perfect candidate, and i dont think for one instance that ron is a one of a kind.......hes, a KIND, deffinatly, but i dont think hes a "one of", if you know what i mean.......i believe in the right time, right place situations showing me that which we seek, morals, kind heart and conviction......and an understanding of history from the "lower class" perpective

Yeah and while we are at it.
Why don`t we give up a little more of our Constitutional rights and not be such spoiled brats holding out for 100% of our inalienable rights.
There`s a slippery slope out there some where we went down years ago.
It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people that pay no price for being wrong.

You (OP) don't get it. Many
You (OP) don't get it. Many supporters refused to vote for a "lesser evil" prior to 2008. We were content voting our conscience and "wasting" our vote". Then Ron Paul announced he was running and we got fired up because we FINALLY had a chance to vote our conscience on a candidate who actually had a (very slim) chance of winning, since he wasn't hamstrung by running 3rd party.
Fast forward 5 years and you show up to the party and call us spoiled because Rand doesn't fire us up the was Ron did...
So no, we haven't become spoiled. We're exactly the same as we were before Ron announced. Principled.

no, you don't get it
You're in a cult of personality and not about the message. That is never was Ron was about.
Get back on the message. Ron endorses other candidates. Are you calling him unprincipled for doing so? Then you are a fool.

The two party paradigm,going along to get along, & flip flopping
The two party paradigm,going along to get along, Flip flopping and endless rhetoric has gotten us nowhere. It's long overdue for politicians to behave and vote like Ron Paul did. I know Dr Paul is not a saint and not 100% perfect, but he does represent what is needed to best get this country back on track. Is Rand playing a game that will get him elected, where his fathers game never could? Maybe? But I will also never fully trust Rand's game either and think it's healthy to keep close tabs him, Cruz, Lee etc...
We are smart enough to know for sure that the liberty movement WILL be infiltrated by LINO's/ rHINO's ie...people hand picked and carefully played by TPTB to trick the population with rhetoric and cast some votes in favor issues dear to us but not touch the big ones. And no, i'm not insinuating that Rand is that such person.
At least that's my take.

And you are...
From leaked documents about stratfor and it's predecessor companies...
"Divide activists into four groups: Radicals, Idealists, Realists and Opportunists.
The Opportunists are in it for themselves and can be pulled away for their own self-interest.
The Realists can be convinced that transformative change is not possible and we must settle for what is possible.
Idealists can be convinced they have the facts wrong and pulled to the Realist camp.
Radicals, who see the system as corrupt and needing transformation, need to be isolated and discredited, using false charges to assassinate their character is a common tactic."

Holding politicians accountable is a disturbing trend???
I guess ron was right:
"truth is treason in the empire of lies"

You hold the bad ones accountable...
by supporting the good ones like Amash, and Massie who can defeat them.
If you don't and just say OH THEY AREN'T RON PAUL FORGET IT then you let the bad ones win with no accountability

How about we support Ideas
and principles.
Hero worship is counter-productive.
- Login to post comments
he has a point
Yes politicians should be honoring their oaths. Like someone else said Massie and Amash have. A lot of people still seem to be thinking, "hes not as good as Ron so I can't support him because..." Or they don't support someone like Rand or Cruz because they don't see that they are trying to lay the groundwork and build support from people who oppose/opposed his father.
Rand is walking as fine of a line as he can to stay as close to principle as possible and get those people who didn't support Ron to come to see what we have learned from Ron. Playing politics. So when people see this and don't try to see the bigger picture they start saying, "Rand is a neocon".
We all want to fix the mess in DC but too many want instantaneous changes to the things that took decades to become the way they are now. When more liberty candidates step into the fray we will slowly get our desired changes. There are too many old farts set in their ways that need to retire. Once they start stepping down finally we should hopefully be seeing the changes happen. These coming mid term elections should help illustrate that.
Homeland security statement: patriotism is now considered terrorism.

The author has a point!
Although he is probably talking about a minority of people here. Many Paul supporters won't be happy with anyone that's not Ron Paul. Just go on any comments section and post that you would like to see Gary Johnson in the next round of Presidential debates just so that we can have another candidate talking about liberty. You are guaranteed too get a comment or two telling you just how horrible he is and how he is an Ron Paul wannabe. You will always get this even though he is a better than 90% of our current politicians that currently are in office. Actually that 90% number I threw out is probably low.

Hmmm, alright.
So, basically you're saying that holding staunch principles is equivalent to being a spoiled brat?
What makes you think purism isn't present in the work place? Are there not jobs out there that require their employees to have a 2 or 4 year degree in order to be hired? If that's not purism, I'm not sure what is.
I'll support/not support whomever I damn well please, based on a list of qualifications that I deem important and if that rubs you the wrong way, that's your problem, not mine.

no, you don't get it
Ron has staunch principles and endorses other candidates. But so many here just say oh they aren't as good as Ron not worth my time. That's a cult of personality. Ron wanted it to be about the message
- Login to post comments
No, I don't think YOU get it.
I don't care who the person is - I care about what they stand for. It's not about a cult personality because I'd never say: All I want is Ron Paul and no one else is good enough for me. The reason I like Ron Paul is because of his opinions and principles - anyone can hold those.
That being said, I refuse to vote or support someone who doesn't uphold my ideals. Do you expect a Democrat to vote for a Republican or a Republican to vote for a Democrat? No, because when you have certain standards and a politician doesn't meet those standards, you don't support them.
It's quite a simple concept - I understand the point you're trying to make, but honestly it seems like you're setting up a trap for people rather than truly trying to be a voice of reason. Some people held their nose and voted Bush Jr., that was a mistake and now you're asking libertarians to do it for so-called "libertarian" politicians.

burn-it-all-down anarchists supported Ron but wanted him to lose
when Rand didn't lose the election, that was his first mortal sin.
positive incrementalism in government runs at stark contrast to violent anarchist. they want it to all burn down.
so, what they do here is demand Rand commit political suicide like his father whilst referring to themselves as the gold-standard on Libertarianism.

ASHLAND, Ore. — A move bringing more water to Ashland has been talked about for years by city officials and is now underway.
Construction crews are working on a pipeline project near Ashland and Talent. Right now, the construction is on Highway 99 near the intersection with South Valley View Road.
In the last 10 days, 9,000 feet of pipe has been laid, with crews laying as much as 1,200 feet in a day. Project officials said once completed, T.A.P. will bring Ashland more water in the case of an emergency.
"We'll turn some valves and we'll start pumping water and then it start mixing with our city's water. So, between Reeder Reservoir and T.I.D. and T.A.P. water, we're able to actually provide clean water to the city," said senior project manager Morgan Wayman.
The entire T.A.P. project is expected to wrap up by mid-August.

Credit ratings: the facts and the fiction
A lot of people struggle to understand credit reports and credit ratings, but it was still a surprise to see the results of a recent Experian survey. Carried out by their CreditExpert service, the survey aimed to identify the common myths and misconceptions that exist, particularly around our awareness of the factors that do and don't affect credit ratings. The results showed that we clearly have a lot of work to do!
Around a quarter of the people polled said they didn't think missing a mortgage or credit card payment would have any impact on their credit rating. The reality tends to be quite the opposite. Missed payments of any kind are very likely to damage credit scores, particularly if they relate to a priority debt, such as a mortgage.
Half of respondents were unaware that registering to vote can actually help you to get credit. This is because lenders use this information to confirm your identity and address history. Not being on the electoral roll is likely to throw a proverbial spanner in the (credit application) works.
And if that wasn't enough.a staggering 80% of people said they thought that a single credit refusal would damage their credit rating. This was actually less surprising because it has always been a common misconception. The truth is that the outcome of any credit application you make isn't recorded on your credit report at all - just the fact you applied. What you have to be careful of, though, is making multiple applications in a short space of time because this can suggest that you're having problems.
For 5% of people, the prospect of credit refusal was so daunting that they avoided applying for credit altogether. But of those that did bite the bullet and were subsequently refused, almost three quarters made no attempt to find out why. While lenders don't always volunteer the reason for saying no, they should tell you if you ask. They must also put you in touch with any credit reference agencies they consulted, particularly if your credit report was part of the issue.
Interestingly, 10% of the people surveyed said they put off checking their credit report fearing the worst. While it's probably human nature to sidestep bad news, it's not going to help you in the long run of course. So take the opportunity to familiarise yourself with your credit report and the factors that affect your credit rating, particularly if you're planning to apply for credit at some point.
And if you find you are knocked back, do what you can to find out why. It may help you improve your chances of success the next time. It's free to see your Experian credit report and Experian credit score with a 30-day trial of CreditExpert.

37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
I feel the need to put off the Sabbath series to address the yet again violence that has occurred in our society. This isn't a post about gun control. This isn't a post about gun rights. This is a post about the real issue.
I've lost track how many rampages of violence there have already been just this year. It seems that violence begets more violence. The bar cannot go low enough, it seems. It must slip lower.
You know, when we think about the days of Noah and the passage above, we often zero in on the eating and drinking, as though that was what was wrong, and the marrying and giving in marriage, as though that were wrong, but is that the point? Perhaps not. It could be they were being gluttonous, drunkards and redefining marriage. That certainly would be like today, would it not? However, was that Jesus' point?
I don't think so. Nothing I have read even of the ancient Greeks indicate they tried to redefine marriage. I think it simply means that Noah's contemporaries were going about their day-to-day business, doing what came normally, acting as though it would not end.
But, it did end.
That was the point, and v 39 makes that clear.
Was that the only point? I don't think so. Of all the examples He could have pointed to, why the days of Noah?
6 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
~ Ge 6:1-5
Should this be surprising? When people have no regard for God, after all, what does human nature tend to degrade to? Even the imaginations become evil "continually". You know, even our entertainment, that which comes from and goes into our imaginations and thoughts, is filled with all sorts of evil and violence.
Garbage In, Garbage Out = GIGO. It's a computer phrase. If you put garbage data into a computer, you won't get anything worthwhile out of it.
The human mind is a lot like a computer. It is infinitely more complex, but it is made up of the physical, psychological and environmental stimuli that come into its sphere. Sometimes the human mind has been compared to a slate board. At birth, it is clean, and the events of our lives write things upon it. Of course, we must recognize that the chalk can be different colors, different widths and different quality. Even the slate may be green or black, and it may be made of quality workmanship or made cheaply. All of these combine to different outcomes, different displays and even different levels of legibility.
Why are our children and young people so angry? Could it be because no one is providing them quality input? Could it be that without God it is not possible to provide quality input?
Noah's day was a time most of the world was without God. Only Noah's family had a relationship with the Creator.
6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
~ v 6
Now, that is a sad commentary on the condition of mankind. The Creator of mankind was sorrowful that He even created people!
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
~ v 11
Again, doesn't that sound like our day?
The problem is right there in the text, though. Mankind was dwelling on evil continually in their hearts and minds. GIGO. And why not? After all, if there is no God, then why does it matter? You can do what you want to do, right?
Unfortunately, when enough believe this, that is what brings human kind to the brink of destruction.
Of course, the Bible is just a book of fables and myths, right? What could be of value in a book of myths?
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

It's already October!! This time last year Em and I had a plan to post 31 {unvarnished} days. This time around I've chosen to go it solo - by helping you go Boxless for Breakfast!
For the next 31 days I'll post ideas - mostly quick and easy recipes - for you to see how simple real breakfasts can be. Whole food breakfasts are within your reach - why not go boxless for October and follow along?
This first recipe guarantees hitting the snooze at least one more time - knowing breakfast is {pretty much} made before your feet even hit the floor.

Current Time
Val des Pitons
St. Lucia
Tel: 758 456 8000
Concierge.com's insider take:
This intimate luxury resort is nestled between the towering Pitons on the site of an 18th-century sugar plantation. The 78 rooms and villas—some just built, others fully renovated under a $100-million overhaul to be completed in 2012—are spread out across lush rolling hills and totally secluded from one another. Inside, the plantation-style decor features bright white furnishings that draw your attention to the tropical paradise outdoors—luxurious four-poster beds, huge walk-in closets that double as the dressing rooms, claw-foot tubs in the bathrooms, and a private deck with chaise longues and a plunge pool. All rooms are appropriately outfitted with mod cons like AC, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and DVD players, iPod docking stations, and even a personal butler who's reachable 24/7 by mobile phone. You might be tempted to stay inside, but the biggest perk is your surroundings—sea, sand, mountains, and rainforest—so get out and explore. It's best to hit the beach before breakfast if you want to snag one of the coveted chaise longues under umbrellas and reserve some shade. There's great snorkeling, kayaking, and swimming right off shore in the warm Caribbean water (or if you're splurging, why not charter the owner's yacht, the Manatee, for a lavish day at sea?) Try both of the excellent on-site restaurants—the casual on-the-beach Bayside and the swankier Great Room, where farm-to-table menus change daily—and sip sophisticated cocktails at the trendy Cane Bar. And don't leave without treating yourself to a chocolate body scrub or massage at the idyllic Rainforest Spa, where seven treehouse-like rooms stand on stilts in the jungle.— Jen Swetzoff

- excellent starter Review by Paracol
Price Value Quality Using this starter according to the enclosed instructions I was able to set myself up with 3 different types of sourdough in no time. Since I have city water I did purchase filtered water, but that was the only concession I made, and one that was well worth it. It makes great bread and pancakes.

Oracle Apps Migration Path from HP-UX PA-RISC to HP-UX Itanium
Posted by Navdeep Saini on April 7, 2008
Most of the HP shops running Applications are mostly on PA-RISC based systems. HP plans to offer PA-RISC-based servers through 2008 and support the systems through 2013, and continue to push for Itanium based servers. Apps customers are asking for possible migration paths to port their applications from PA-RISC to Itanium basesd systems. This post gives detailed summary of how you can achieve this.
For release 11i Oracle had certified HP Itanium under "split configuration", wherein your database node can run on HP-Itanium and apps tier runs on other supported platforms. Note that as of 220.127.116.11 Apps Tier is NOT supported for HP-UX Itanium.
Currently Oracle supports following platforms for its middle tier:
1. HP Tru64
3. IBM AIX Based Systems
4. Linux x86
5. Solaris Operating System SPARC
6. Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003 (x86)
However as of R12, oracle has certified HP Itanium as certified platform for Apps Tier, which means both your db tier and apps tier can run on HP Itanium. Hence if you are planning to port your applications (both db and apps tier) to HP-UX Itanium, then you will have to upgrade to R12 first.
Here are the summarized steps:
Database Tier: The database migration from HP-UX on PA-RISC to HP-UX Itanium (IPF) and from Itanium (IPF) to PA-RISC by copying the datafiles is possible. Starting with RDBMS 126.96.36.199 and 10.2.0.2, it is supported to copy the database files (control files, redolog/archivelog files, data files) from HP-UX on PA-RISC to HP-UX Itanium (IPF) and from Itanium (IPF) to PA-RISC. While HP-UX on PA-RISC is big endian because of the processor, the Itanium processor adapts to the endianess of the OS and is in this case also big endian. Follow these steps to migrate db-tier.
1. Patch the target operating system to the required level and make sure it has all the required OS patches and packages (e.g. ar, cc,aCC, make etc.) for more details check:Oracle Applications Release 12.0.4 Installation Manual
2. Configure the target system as per Oracle installation and configuration guide.
3. Install the required Oracle RDBMS software (220.127.116.11 or above, 10.2.0.2 or above) on the target platform (Itanium)
4. Patch the Oracle RDBMS to the required level.
5. For copying the database (using tar, cpio, dd etc.) from the source to the target system, create the required volume groups, logical volumes, file systems, raw devices etc. on the target system
6. Shutdown the Oracle database on the source system
7. Copy all the required Oracle database files, including control files, date files, undo, redo logs, Oracle initialization file etc. to the target system.
8. If required, regenerate the control file (for example when changing the file locations on the target system).
9. Setup and configure the Oracle listener etc.
10. Startup the database on the target system.
Apps Tier: For Apps tier you will need to install R12 on itnanium (follow: Note 402307.1 – Oracle Applications Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.0) for HP-UX Itanium) and upgrade to R12 running 4440000.drv on HP-UX Itanium platform.
More to follow on R12 upgrade later in my posts.

Thank you for the steps above, i found this article very useful but i will like to know how this can be done while migrationg from hp-ux parisc as a single instance node to hp-ux itanium to a RAC node.
Steps for application and database will be helpful.Thank you.

Hi Navdeep & Ayo,
Looks like I'll be doing the same as you very soon – if you have done your process, have you got any pointers?
I am migrating HP UX PaRisc to Itanium, company bought a SuperDome2.
I don't think I'll be going full blown RAC, probably just RAC1 and then split the application tiers. (We need the resources and performance more than the 24/7 of RAC…Anyhoo, if you have like basic steps, I'd much appreciate it!
I know what needs to happen with the migration and upgrade, but what is important to me is the pitfalls, issues, problem cases that are not often spoken of in white papers.
My environment is DB 10.2.0.4, Apps 12.0.4 – > Post Migration we'll upgrade to DB 11.2, and when possible to 12.1.3

Skype fell victim to an unrecognized problem it faced from Microsoft's 'Patch Tuesday,' and
Skype claims it has fixed this vulnerability. The functions with the high-speed technology that the
gizmo maintains are really miraculous. The i – Phone
doesn't allows to replace the battery as its completely packed inside the iphone body, so the best option to
keep the phone alive it to charge the packed battery and the most handy and easiest way to charge your iphone
is to use portable charger. -

My buddy Ed Sim has posted a piece that I recommend anyone doing a company, financing or product pitch to read: Don't forget that vision thing. This paragraph sums it well:
As one of our marketing consultants, Richard Currier, has always told our portfolio companies, "you market the vision, and sell the product." If you get too locked into talking about a product, then your partner or customer gets stuck into thinking about who else does this and why are you different. Getting into a feature/function battle in the first meeting is not a great way to start. Sure enough, our prospective partner started naming several companies asking us how we differed from them. If you start with a vision first and clearly talk about your view of the market in the future and how your product evolves from where it is today to a roadmap of the future, then it is easier to differentiate your company and … Read more »

COMIC BOOK COMPULSIVE — Kathy
From 1959 to 1964 Stan Lee and Stan Goldberg produced 27 issues of Kathy the Teenage Tornado. The subtitle was just a flourish of meaningless branding on their part as Kathy's standard teen adventures were (not surprisingly) bland distant echoes of Archie Comics. Her predictable entourage included dreamy boyfriend Ricky, his faintly creepy rival for her affections Ace (no means no, Ace), goon Speedy, incredibly ugly best friend Fanny and total bitch Liz. Long before the term "frenemy" was coined women, at least those written by Stan Lee, invariably had that one 'friend' who openly hated their guts and was always trying to steal her boyfriend and destroy her self-esteem. Kathy's was Liz.
There was only, and only one, interesting thing about Kathy. Through out her run she started being drawn more and more realistically until about two-thirds of the way into it the comic dropped all pretense of being an Archie clone and was either a dull romance comic with reoccurring characters or a humorless teen title. I'm honestly not sure which, but this version wasn't any more interesting.
There is something about the early 1960's I don't think I'll ever understand; this hairdo. I can still remember my bitter disappointment when in Amazing Spider-Man's sexy 'older woman' Betty Brant lost her cool head of curls and went all helmet head on us, losing the majority of her appeal in the process.
And remember when I called Liz a bitch? Here she is, ratting out Kathy to the FBI. Now that's a bitch.
Marvel's Kathy shouldn't be confused with Standard's (a.k.a. Nedor, a.k.a. Better) Kathy, which ran for seventeen issues published between 1949 and 1955. This Kathy had such a healthy figure she had to wear her 'k' on her skirt — never saw that one before.

yeah, and you have to admit they did take a lot of influence from LotR adn Dragoniders of Pern , so theres really not much new in the books, but i mean both Lotr and Pern were really, really good, so i mean, if you have to steal plotline from somebody, you might as wel take it from them.

Yes-also-practically all books follow the same pattern-
- lonely teen
- discovers powers/is discovered by respected teacher/hero
- taken away from un-priveliged life
- Is taught on a trip to the safest fort/safe place
- amazing powers are unleashed
- teacher is surprised
- teacher claims full right to tutor the teen
- Teen becomes very talented and aves teachers life
- a secret of the teens past arises relating them to powerful/wealthy family
- Teacher and teen fall in love(girl/boy and father/son/daughterish)
- Ocassionally teacher dies, leaving teen even more determined to overcome evil
see a pattern emerging?

I love King Arthur tales as well! My favourite (BY FAR) is King Arthur series is the Camulod Chronicles by Jack Whyte. It talks about how Camulod was established, by Arthurs great grandfather Publlis Varrus and his friend Caius Brittanicus. It talks about how the fort was established, the invading Saxons, Cornish men, the evil man Lot to the North, and the decline of Britian. The first 2 books is from the point of view of Caius and Publis, the third from their Grandkids Uther (Arthurs father), and his cousin Merlyn (Merlyn is a interesting character, it explains why everybody thought he was magical), then after that its Arthur (at least so far)..The series consist of 10 books or so, its quite a commitment but VERY rewarding
May 25th, 2006, 09:00 PM #821
yeah..that sounds awesome! i guess i always liked the kinda less factual, more mythological stuff. Especially really anything from that time period, a little bit before, during and a bit after the Roman occupation. If anyone reads Garth Nix, in his last collection of short stories, "Across the wall" he has some great short stories on merlin, nimue*sp? and the lady of the lake.

Scott has based a large part of the books in historical fact but has invented this great mytholgy and other little bits and pieces for the bits that where we don't know what happened for sure.
