It shreds, it slices, it dices
Most PC users have probably heard that the Recycle Bin doesn't really delete files, at least not right away, and even long-deleted files can be recovered from your hard disk, if you rely on Windows to follow through when you tell it to delete something. "Delete" should mean "outta here," not "Level 1 Wipe" or whatever. But drag and drop files into Moo0 FileShredder, and it will zap them using one of four algorithms until they are completely unrecoverable.

ASHLAND, Ore. — More than a hundred Southern Oregon residents dropped off would-be fire fuel this weekend. It was part of an event put on by the Ashland Firewise Community Group. The group's organizers urge residents in fire-prone communities to remove anything that will burn when it's dry, like branches or leaves.
This creates what they call defensible space around a home. "We're going to have an active fire season and we really want to encourage homeowners to take this opportunity to get their homes and properties ready for fire season," said Firewise Community's Ali True.

Ernest Kellogg Gann (October 13, 1910 – December 19, 1991) was an American aviator, author, sailor, and conservationist.
Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, Gann was the son of a prosperous Midwestern family. His father made his fortune as an executive with General Telephone and Telegraph in Lincoln, Nebraska; St. Paul, Minnesota; and Chicago, Illinois. Rebelling against his father's strong desire that he seek a career with the telephone business, Ernest pursued several other interests as he matured. He was fascinated by several topics, including photography, movie-making, and aviation. As a young man, he showed little interest in school and performed poorly. His parents decided that he needed discipline and that he should attend a military school. He was sent to the Culver Military Academy (now Culver Academies) for his high school years. Despite many misadventures and struggles with the harsh academic environment and strict rules at Culver, he graduated during 1930. He elected to pursue filmmaking and matriculated with the Yale School of Drama. After his studies at Yale, Gann worked in New York City at Radio City Music Hall as a projectionist and later as a commercial movie cartoonist.
On September 18, 1933, Gann married Eleanor Helen Michaud in Chicago, Illinois. They eventually had three children: George Kellogg Gann, born November 12, 1935; Polly Wing Gann; and Steven Anthony Gann, born March 4, 1941.
A chance encounter gained Gann a job with The March of Time, a documentary movie series associated with Time magazine. During 1936, while working on the feature Inside Nazi Germany, Gann narrowly escaped Hitler's advancing troops as they marched into the Rhineland. Returning to New York, he relocated his family to a new home in Rockland County where the lure of a local airport, Christie Brothers in Congers, New York, rekindled his interest with aviation. He purchased a half partnership in a Stinson Gull Wing aircraft with actor Burgess Meredith, obtained his pilot license, and soon became an accomplished aviator.
After earning his pilot certificate, Gann spent his much of his free time aloft, flying for pleasure. The continuing Great Depression soon cost him his job and he was unable to find another job in the movie business. In search of work, he decided to relocate his family to California. Gann was able to find odd jobs at Burbank Airport, and also began to write short stories. A friend managed to get him a part-time job as a co-pilot with a local airline and it was there that he flew his first trips as a professional aviator. During the late 1930s many airlines were hiring as many pilots as they could find; after learning of these opportunities, Gann and his family returned to New York where he managed to get hired by American Airlines to fly Douglas DC-2 and Douglas DC-3 aircraft.
For several years Gann enjoyed flying routes in the northeast for American. During 1942, many U.S. airlines' pilots and aircraft were absorbed into the Air Transport Command of the United States Army Air Forces to assist with the war effort. Gann and many of his co-workers at American volunteered to join the group. He flew DC-3s, Douglas DC-4s and Consolidated C-87 Liberator Express transports (the cargo version of the Consolidated B-24 Liberator bomber). His wartime flights took him across the North Atlantic to Europe, and thence to Africa, South America, India, and other exotic places. Some of his most harrowing experiences came while flying The Hump airlift across the Himalayas into China. During the years to come Gann's worldwide travels and various adventures would become the inspiration for many of his novels and screenplays.
At the end of World War II, the Air Transport Command released the civilian pilots and aircraft back to their airlines. Gann decided to quit American Airlines in search of new adventures. He was quickly hired as a pilot with a new company called Matson Airlines that was a venture of the Matson steamship line. He flew from the west coast of the United States across the Pacific to Honolulu. This experience created ideas that were developed into one of his best-known works, The High and the Mighty. Matson ultimately became a victim of the politically well-connected Pan American Airlines and failed. After a few more short-lived flying jobs, Gann became discouraged with aviation and he began writing as a full-time occupation.
During his tenure with Matson, Gann and his family relocated to the San Francisco area and it was there that he began writing professionally. In his autobiography he describes cycles of "boom and bust" as he would earn seemingly vast sums of money for a book or an article, spend wildly, and then suffer for long periods with little or no income. He attempted several other types of work — fishing, for example — but always resumed writing. Gann began to dislike the difficult and tedious routine of family life and he found himself missing the adventures and freedoms of his previous career. His marriage began to suffer and he eventually decided to divorce Eleanor. She was afflicted with numerous health problems, including severe rheumatoid arthritis, and following several years of declining health, she died on December 23, 1966 at Pebble Beach, California. Gann would endure several more tragedies in his personal life, including the death of his eldest son during 1973; while working on an oil tanker in the Gulf of Alaska, George was swept overboard in a storm.
Gann had a lifelong love of the sea and sailing. He made many friends in the nautical community in and around San Francisco and, when money was scarce for him, tried a few different jobs, mainly in the commercial fishing industry. He owned several boats of various types and sizes during his lifetime. Eventually, after years of planning and preparations, Gann purchased a large metal sailboat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, which he christened Albatross. Along with his family and a few friends he sailed the boat across the Atlantic Ocean, through the Panama Canal and then to San Francisco Bay. Albatross was overhauled and Gann then sailed it around the South Pacific Ocean. He later leased the ship to a movie company to be used as the major prop in a movie based upon his book Twilight for the Gods. Soon after the production ended, Albatross was sold and became a school vessel. It was later lost in the Gulf of Mexico. (Its sinking is the topic of a 1996 movie named White Squall.)
As his family life was deteriorating, Gann began spending much of his time with a friend, Dodie Post, whom he would marry eventually. Both before and after they were married they were partners in adventure, travel, and later, environmental causes. During 1966, Ernest and Dodie purchased an 800-acre (324 ha) ranch on San Juan Island in the state of Washington. This was the beginning of his next great passion, environmental conservation. For that purpose, they later donated the bulk of their ranch to the San Juan Preservation Trust.
Gann converted a chicken coop near their ranch house into a writing office. After his death, the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) moved the entire coop and its furnishings, including the barber's chair Gann used at his desk, to the EAA Aviation Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where it is on public display.
During the autumn of 1991, Gann again took to the skies to mark the 50th anniversary of his promotion to Captain for American Airlines; it would be his last flight. On December 19, 1991, Gann died in Friday Harbor, San Juan Island, Washington, at the age of 81.
Gann's describes his own writing methods as torturous, noting that he would often literally chain himself to his desk until he finished a certain amount of text. He suffered through long periods of writer's block, and frequently worried that he would be depleted of ideas to write about. Despite his successful career, he continued to have strong feelings of self-doubt and often expressed surprise at the critical praise he received.
Gann's major works include the novel The High and the Mighty and his aviation-oriented, near-autobiography Fate Is the Hunter. Notes and short stories scribbled during long layovers on his journeys across the North Atlantic became the source for his first serious fiction novel, Island in the Sky (1944), which was inspired by an actual Arctic rescue mission. It became an immediate best-seller as did Blaze of Noon (1946), a story about early air mail operations. During 1978, he published his comprehensive autobiography, entitled A Hostage to Fortune.
Although many of his 21 best-selling novels reveal Gann's devotion to aviation, others, including Twilight for the Gods, and Fiddler's Green display his love of the sea. His experiences as a fisherman, skipper and sailor, all contributed storylines and depth to his nautical fiction. He later wrote an autobiography of his sailing life named Song of the Sirens.
Gann wrote, or adapted from his books, the stories and screenplays for several movies and television shows. For some of these productions he also served as a consultant and technical adviser during filming. Although it received positive reviews, Gann was displeased with the movie version of Fate Is the Hunter, and removed his name from the credits. (He later lamented that this decision cost him a "fortune" in royalties, as the movie played repeatedly on television for years afterward.) He wrote the story for the television miniseries Masada, based on The Antagonists, and the story for the 1980 Walt Disney movie, The Last Flight of Noah's Ark.
Gann was a member or honorary member of the Society of Flight Test Engineers, Order of Daedalions, Black Birds, OX-5 Aviation Pioneers, Secret Order of Quiet Birdmen, Colgate President's Club, Washington Athletic Club, Grey Eagles Club, 9th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing, Retired Eastern Pilots Association, and American Fighter Pilots Association.
Washington Governor Gary Locke posthumously awarded the Medal of Merit (the state's highest honor) to Gann on July 9, 2003, and In Friday Harbor, a cafe called "Ernie's Cafe" was named in honor of his accomplishments.
Flying magazine in 2013, ranked Gann thirty-fourth in its list of the 51 heroes of aviation.[1]
Gann contributed numerous articles to the aviation magazine Flying. In one series he described his exotic travels with wife Dodie in their Cessna 310, the Noon Balloon, so named because of its typical late departure time.

Baton Rouge, La (NBC33) — It's finally finished - the six lane expansion on I-10 from Highland to Siegen Lane.
After months of delays and constant work, the six lanes are open.
DOTD also announced that they intent to expand I-10 all the way to LA-22. They will also be expanding I-12 from Walker to Satsuma.
Juban Road to Walker is expected to be completed by summer of 2013.
Everyone involved in the Geaux Wider project says it's a huge accomplishment for not only the city, but the state of Louisiana.
"These are projects that very much work in conjunction with one another, and together, are targeted at cleaning up traffic and bottlenecks across the areas that need the relief the most," stated Mayor Kip Holden.
DOTD said that even though the lanes are open, some overnight closures can be expected for last-minute adjustments.

Episode 108: How Peer Reviews will Keep You Honest and Your Project on Track
Has your project ever been audited? Was it a good experience or would you much rather spend 2 hours at the dentist instead? We met up with Elizabeth Harrin, author of Project Management in the Real World , at the PMI Global Congress in Denver last month and we discussed not project audits, but its cousin Peer Reviews.
We define what a peer review is and how it compares to a formal project audit. We shine a light onto the fact that peer reviews will help you as a PM to keep honest. In particular during the more hectic times of a project, when it's easy to say that "I just don't have the time to have the risk management meeting this week".
And of course, we look at how you should prepare for a peer review both from the perspective of someone who is giving and someone who is receiving such a review.
We also introduce you to a new Gizmo: It's a new website called PM Opinions where you can read and write reviews on project management products and services.
Did you like this episode of The PM Podcast? Did you like it well enough to take two minutes and go to the iTunes store to give us a rating or review? Yes? I would really appreciate it! Please go to http://www.pm-podcast.com/review and tell the world how well you think we are doing.

Europa League: Stoke City to face Hajduk Split in third qualifying round
By Telegraph staff and agencies 2:21PM BST 15 Jul 2011 Comments The teams were paired together in today's draw in Nyon, with the first leg taking place at the Britannia Stadium on July 28 before the FA Cup runners-up travel to Split on August 4. Fulham, who are 3-1 up on Crusaders after yesterday's first leg, are also likely to face a team from the Croatian city, with RNK Split leading Domzale of Slovenia 2-1 heading into their home match. Hearts will meet Hungarian side Paksi or Tromso of Norway while a clash with either Metalurg Skopje of Macedonia or Bulgaria's Levski Sofia awaits Dundee United if they can overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit to Slask Wroclaw. Hajduk are likely to provide stiff opposition for Stoke City and possess an impressive European pedigree. They have reached the quarter-finals of the European Cup three times, most recently in 1994-95, while they were semi-finalists in the Uefa Cup in 1983-84. Related Articles

Every year the Pantone color gurus choose a color as the trend and inspiration for the year….
…and the color for 2013 is Emerald!
So how can this color be added to a room and what other colors can you pair it with? Great questions, let's find out!
I thought for fun I would create an Emerald paint color palette to show how this color can really transform a space!
I used the Sherwin Williams 'Chip It' tool to turn this living room picture into a collection of Sherwin Williams paint colors.
As shown here, it can look amazing when combined with neutrals:
These emerald drapes look stunning with the dark grey walls, whites (floor, chair upholstery and fireplace tile surround) and blond colored woods (chandelier, mantle and chair legs)!
It really looks like the color of an Emerald stone!
At the Pantone website Emerald is described as:
"Lively. Radiant. Lush… A color of elegance and beauty
that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony."
Although I don't think I'll buy emerald drapes, I'm going to try to add this color in my home somehow, although I am not quite sure how yet!
Do you think you'll try Emerald in your home this year?

We are unique in that we're one of the very rare places in the world that actually looks at all aspects of health. Our specialty is working with tough cases and we want our patients to be involved in their health, wellness and wellbeing.
Rarely do we think about the consequences of poor posture until something strange happens. A slight numb feeling is noticed in our thumb or pinky finger. Most think nothing of it unless it spreads to the other fingers or even the hand. The first time it may last for 5 minutes, but it eventually grows to half an hour or all day. These symptoms are usually referred to as peripheral neuropathy (PN).
Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) is a term that describes the disorder of your peripheral nervous system. Your peripheral nervous system contains nerves in your arms, legs, face, and trunk.
Neuropathies can be classified into two categories, one nerve (mononeuropathy) or several nerves (polyneuropathy). When damaged, your nerves cannot communicate properly; this miscommunication can result in pain, tingling, burning, numbness, or even weakness.
Does this sound like you…
Each day you experience numbness or tingling in your hands. It keeps your from doing your job at the computer or maybe keeps you up at night. 3 easy exercises can help you reduce or even eliminate this frustrating condition.
Exercise # 1 – Wrist Extensions
Wrist Extensions – Most people use their forearm in daily activities. Overtime tightness in the muscle grows and changes how the bones, muscles, and even the nerves function. To do this exercise, you will need a small lightweight, soup can or something similar and hold your wrist straight out. This should be the starting and ending position (neutral). From this position, extend your wrist (up and towards you), and then back down to neutral. If you do these, three sets of 10, twice a day, it can help strengthen the supporting muscles of your wrist and help reduce your symptoms.
Exercise # 2 – External Rotators
External Rotators (Shoulder) – Everyone has felt those trigger points in their upper back. This is usually a consequence of our shoulders turning in. When one's shoulders turn in, it can lead to compression and compromise of a nerve bundle that course through the area. It can result in numbness and/or tingling in the hands or even the entire arm.
For this exercise, take the same weight as exercise #1, have your arm by your side, and bend at the elbow to 90 degrees. This is the starting and ending position (neutral) for the exercise. You will then rotate your arm out, keeping your elbow by your side and bring it back. Do three sets of 10 repetitions, twice a day. By increasing the function of your shoulder stabilizers, this can also help prevent other conditions from occurring.
Exercise # 3 – Neck Raises
Neck Raises – Most people have what is known as forward head posture. This can occur with repetitive activities that allow one's head to gradually fatigue and move forward. The supporting musculature begins to lengthen and lose their integrity. The most common postures are, sitting at a computer, sitting on a couch, or even sleeping in a rolled up position. Having your head forward can cause compression of the nerves in the neck leading to numbness and tingling.
To do this exercise, simply lay on your bed, on your stomach. Raise your head and look at the wall in front of you. Some refer to this as the "superman" exercise. Do three sets of 10 repetitions, twice a day. This will help reduce the strain you place on your body and even your nerves. It can also help strengthen and restore the integrity of your spinal muscles.

Archie Dunks and Plumlee Meets a Comedian
In this fast paced world there is one place it seems you can turn to to find out anything about almost anyone (arguably, sometimes too much). While newspapers and magazines used to be the home to the most recent news about athletes in this day and age you need to look no further than a player's social media feeds to find out the latest.
Both Suns guard Archie Goodwin and center Miles Plumlee provided a peek into what their offseason has entailed on and off the court.
First Goodwin showed that, despite his small stature, he can fly. This impromptu dunk contest posted to Instagram shows he has the hops and the flair to show off his abilities at an all-star weekend in the future if he so chooses.
Plumlee's Instagram photo shows he has sense of humor. Not just because he is rocking an old school Pink Panther t-shirt; but also because he's hanging out with veteran stand up comedian Dave Attell in New York following a show. And no, there has been no word on why they left the comedy club early.
It's not hard hitting news but what do you expect in the dead of the NBA offseason? The only question that remains is, would you rather watch Archie dunk in a gym or see a comedy show with Miles and his brother?
Either way, it seems like a fun way to spend part of the offseason.

Dan Kammen emphasized various options we face in confronting risks associated with climate change which were looked at in a recent MIT study. In a talk at the West Coast Green Conference he pointed out that after policy changes positively affecting the solar industry were made in 2007, the industry quadrupled in 2008 . So balancing policy, economy, human behavior, and the fact that the world is heating up due in no small part to carbon dioxide emissions, we're able to see that yes, we still have a shot at not cooking the planet if we act now.

Ron Jaworsky drops Banner's name every other sentence when he is talking Eagles Football on ESPN. If Jaws digs him, I guess I can too.
Joe likes fishing on Lake Erie and the taste of our Walleye. He ain't going anywhere.
B.T.W., whom's dad would you rather be your own ..... Dred McCoy or Joe Thomas Sr.???
I pose this to all. Inquiring minds want to know. "I.M.W.2.K."
The Mangini "December to Remember" was THEE best CLE finish ever or in a loooong, looong time.
The Manini roster with..... Hadnot, Vickers, Bowens and the other "B," Harrison over Hardesty.... was better than the current young, red-flag Heckert roster. Seriously!!!
Word is..... heckert is out if Banner is in, in CLE. Not sure what the PD writers are lerning about the Banner-heckert relationship then and now?
2012 will be a .... "banner year" [Sam Eliot voice "Hi-Lo Country"] for the Browns of Cleveland
Yes, Terry. You've predicted 6-10 for a looooong time and we are still waiting for the team to acheive your prediction. I think you are waiting for the same thing! When they hit 6 wins (2019?,) will you predict wildcard playoff berth? You've been right about a loooot of optamistic things concerning the Browns over recent years. All that offseason progress really translated in the fall for WR Terry Robiskie and Company.
Let's come back down to Earth here!!!
The more guns in CLE the better. Better protection for the people. Better response from the police. Better threat to the criminals. They should be shipping guns into the corp. limit not chasing them and removing them.

From the 'git'go, YO! Pay Cribbs, keep and not support Mangini was h&h Week 1!
I am not a fan of Banner in the picture. And if it means hackert is staying on, I am more than displeased. Haslam and Banner have to be ready to wipe the slate clean.

I don't want to see any exhibition games. Bring on the Eagles!!!
Thank goodness that we have a half month of olympics to distract us from the antics in Berea!!
I think that would be a bit uncouth to do that now. He was a REAL believer of Danny as recently moments before the 2012 NFL draft. Weedeater is enough to sway that? Any chance heck & 4422 are related?
Did you see where Kellen Moore was drafted? Dillushinal to think the the Browns can get that in return for Danny. It will soon be known, I guess.
I don't and I'm a big fen who bin to big games. No, I don't attend now.... or buy merchandise. But someday I might.
I don't know about you but I wish he would just stop talking,

The "players" h&h are acquiring are WORSE than the players they inherited from that epic-long, 11 month period that Mangini was in control. Remember the losing streak and decrepit state of losing and culture that Mangini graciously took on. He collected a good payday... and maybe still.

Look good. You don't have to be ready to walk a runway, but take some pride in your appearance. Be clean, well-groomed and make sure that your clothes are flattering.
Smile and make eye contact. People who smile a lot appear friendly and approachable. When you're smiling, you'll find that people are more likely to reach out to you. Eye contact is also important as it shows that you are honest, confident, and focused on the person standing in front of you.
Ask people questions about themselves. There is nothing that people like more than talking about themselves. If you get someone talking about something that they are interested in, they will think that you are an excellent conversationalist. Don't fake it though or people will see through it. Be genuinely interested in other people.
Be positive. It is natural to want to spend time with positive people. Nobody wants to be dragged down by someone who complains, whines and criticizes others. Keep your conversations pleasant and upbeat, and you'll find that people will seek you out.
Be compassionate. Always try to consider the feelings of others. For example, if your coworker is trying to carry a heavy table, step in to help her. If she is struggling with her workload, see if there is any way that you can assist her. Even if you can't really help, she will appreciate that fact that you cared enough to try.
There is no big secret to getting people to like you. If you take care of yourself and you genuinely care about others then you are more than halfway there!

She was a 2012 Republican candidate who sought election to the U.S. House to represent the 7th Congressional District of Indiana. She lost in the Republican primary.[4]
Ping was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. To financially assist her family, she enlisted in the Army National Guard in 1980. While serving, she worked two jobs and attended school part-time. In 1995, she earned her bachelor's degree in business administration magna cum laude and her associate's degree in business management magna cum laude from Northwood University.[5][6]
Professionally, Ping served for 33 years in the United States Army Reserve achieving the rank of lieutenant colonel and working as a military trainer of the decision making process, mission analysis and senior level tactics. Since 2006, she has owned her own business.[5]
Campaign themes
Ping submitted the following statement to Ballotpedia:[5]
" | If elected, I would tackle the challenge of our deficit and work diligently to shrink the size of the government, not the programs that are desperately needed by families suffering from high unemployment and the fall out from ObamaCare. Reducing the size of the different agencies that are redundant of each other's scope and mission is critical to this success. It would require restructuring several government organizations and disburse parts of them into the interior of the country and not centralize the entire massive footprint they currently hold in the DC area. By doing this restructuring it will free up tax dollars to pay off the deficit and recirculate tax dollars to programs greatly needed that have been slashed by this current Congress and White House Administration. I would also work to restructure our IRS tax codes. Abolish the death/inheritance tax, reduce the tax burden on businesses, especially small businesses. I'm looking into a fair user tax system. I would also seek to repeal ObamaCare and introduce a new health care system. A system based on the free market enterprise system whereby companies would have to compete for the consumers' business. I would also protect people with pre-existing conditions, and ensure that premiums were not based on a person's credit score. I would look at alternative energy and fuel efficiencies to help strengthen our economy...not cripple it. I don't agree with fracking, but I do like hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicles and modes of transportation. We need to pass the XL pipeline and get people to work and renew our oil refinery production. EPA and oil companies need to work together to building new or retrofitting old refineries to increase gasoline production. And I would look to work with other like minded law makers in seeking improvements to bolster our economy, reduce our tax burdens, and provide for the common welfare of our great nation.[7] |

What It Means To "Receive and Adopt" the Westminster Standards
by Dr. S. Donald Fortson, III
In the early 18th Century, American Presbyterians determined that it was necessary to adopt a doctrinal statement in order to declare their common faith. The Synod of Philadelphia in 1729 adopted the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms as the confession of their faith. In the 1729 "Adopting Act," Presbyterians declared their "agreement in and approbation of the Confession of Faith, with the Larger and Shorter Catechisms of the Assembly of Divines at Westminster, as being, in all the essential and necessary articles, good forms of sound words and systems of Christian doctrine."
The Adopting Act stipulated that ministers may state their "scruples" with the Confession, i.e., describing places where they had disagreements with particular articles. After hearing the candidates' scruples, a Presbytery would determine whether or not these reservations were about articles "essential and necessary" in doctrine, worship or government. If scruples were judged to be over "extra-essentials," the minister was admitted as a member. This established the principle of liberty of conscience.
When the first General Assembly met in 1789 they endorsed the Adopting Act and established a formula for subscribing the Confession that was included in the Form of Government. The subscription formula asked this question of the ministerial candidate: "Do you sincerely receive and adopt the confession of faith of this church as containing the system of doctrine taught in the Holy Scriptures?" The phrase "system of doctrine" was understood to include not only fundamental catholic Christianity and the evangelical doc-trines of the Protestant Reformation but also the unique Reformed or Calvinistic system of doctrine embodied in the Westminster Standards. It was the Reformed system of the Confession that distinguished the Presbyterian theological heritage from Roman Catholic, Lutheran or Arminian systems of doctrine.
The 1789 formula of subscription has served American Presbyterians well for over 200 years. Amidst significant doctrinal diversity, schism and reunion, the historic subscription vow has stood the test of time as a median position between the extremes of strict subscription (every word) and a minimal subscription requiring "essentials of Christianity only." The historic moderate doctrinal position of Presbyterianism has allowed diversity in expressing the Reformed faith while at the same time affirming our distinctives as Reformed people committed to the doctrines of grace.
When a church officer takes the traditional ordination vow in the EPC, he or she is affirming a personal commitment to the doctrines displayed in the Westminster Standards. The subscription vow is understood to be an acknowledgment of the Reformed or Calvinistic "system of doctrine" as expressing one's own belief of what the Holy Scriptures teach. This vow allows one freedom to express reservations about parts of the Confession provided these "scruples" are not about "essential" components of the Reformed system. It is the duty of sessions and presbyteries when examining candidates for church office to determine what constitutes an essential of the "system of doctrine" found in the Confession and Catechisms. The balance of individual liberty and commitment to Reformed theology is a hallmark of Presbyterianism and a value we hold dear.

Philip K. Dick, "Ubik" (1969, 2012) The key to understanding the universe in Ubik is in the repeated references to the Tibetan Book of the Dead, which acts as the primary text to understand the concept of half-life in the story. The book is based mainly on the idea of intermediate stages in existence, all central to the Buddhist concept of life, death, and transcendence.
These beliefs become valuable to the people in the future Dick envisions, who have engineered a very literal intermediate stage between life and death. But the ideas found in the Tibetan Book of the Dead, and related beliefs, extend far beyond this one concept in Ubik, but are present in almost every facet of it. The world is presented as a series of intermediate stages in existence, where life and physicality, death and the mind, intermingle and change state constantly. Commentary: Philip K.

Beating in Retaliation for Cooperating with Law Enforcement
STACY CHARLES COMER, 38, of Kelso, Washington, was sentenced Friday, September 14, 2007, in U.S. District Court in Tacoma to ten years in prison and five years of supervised release for Conspiracy to Retaliate Against a Federal Witness, Retaliation Against a Federal Witness, and Brandishing a Firearm in Furtherance of a Crime of Violence. COMER was convicted by a jury on June 29, 2006, following a three day trial in front of U.S. District Judge Ronald B. Leighton.
According to testimony at trial, COMER was angry at another man for cooperating with local police in a drug investigation which evolved into a federal prosecution. In August 2005, at COMER'S instigation, a co-defendant forced the victim from his home at gunpoint and made him go to the rooming house in Kelso where COMER resided. The co-defendant pushed the victim down the stairs to COMER'S basement rooms and put the gun in the victim's mouth. COMER and another co-defendent then beat up the defendant for being a "snitch." Both co-defendants testified for the prosecution at trial and the jury returned guilty verdicts after deliberating just three hours.
COMER has prior convictions for Fourth Degree Assaults involving domestic violence against women (1996 and 2003), Theft in the Second Degree (2002), and Intimidating a Witness (2003).
When pronouncing sentence, Judge Leighton told COMER the experience was "terrifying" for the victim and that, "What you did was unforgivable." COMER blamed his conduct on drug and alcohol abuse, expressed regret for the incident, and wished he could personally apologize to the victim.
This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF) and the Longview Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Karyn Johnson and William H. Redkey, Jr.

When Kanye West married Kim Kardashian, he didn't just get a wife — he got an entire family! In an interview with 'GQ,' Kanye reveals that Kris Jenner has filled the void his own mom, Donda West, left behind when she died.
Kanye West, 37, won the heart of Kim Kardashian's family before they were officially married in June 2014. Kris Jenner, 58, has grown particularly close to Kanye, even once calling him "soft" and "sweet." In the August 2014 issue of GQ, Kanye mentioned Kris and admitted it's "super cool" to have "someone that I can call my mom again." It's clear Kanye is just another member of the Kardashian family!
Kanye West: Kris Jenner Is 'Someone That I Can Call Mom Again'
When Kanye lost him mom, Donda West, in 2007, allegedly from complications caused by plastic surgery, he said it was comparable to "losing an arm and a leg and trying to walk through that."
After he married Kim in a fairy tale wedding ceremony that he planned by himself in Florence, Italy, he confessed to GQ that he now has another mom.
"Having someone that I can call Mom again. That s–t is super cool," Kanye gushed about the best part of being married, as well as his relationship with the Kardashian-Jenner clan.
It's rare to hear Kanye open up emotionally — at least without a touch of rage fueling his statement.
Clearly, Kanye and Kim are a match made in Hollywood Heaven!
Kanye Talks About Kim: She 'F**king Turns Me On'
It's hard to find an interview with Kanye when he isn't raving about his new wife — but we don't mind! Taking a complete 180 turn from talking about his new mother-in-law, the rapper discussed how much his sexy wife hits all of the right spots.
"Kim is this girl who f–king turns me on. I love her. This is who I want to be next to and be around," Kanye admitted.
Phew. Did it just get hot in here, or is that just Kim and Kanye's sexual connection? Sexy!
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Are you happy that Kanye gets along so well with the Kardashian family? Let us know your thoughts below!

I cannot Imagine losing one of my parents, especially my Mom… Kanye has a Heart just like the rest of us, and I for one am so very touched by the comment how he can now have someone to call Mom again, and to help him to fill that void.
I know that he is particularly concerned about his own daughters safety also, because unfortunately for him (plus the car wreck he was in) and loosing his mom after a 'routine surgery. He knows first hand the meaning of 'in the Blink of an Eye', he has even Told Kim "no more cosmetic surgery' Either. I also think it's so cute how he gushes about the love he has for his wife too. He has been given a (few) new reasons for complete happiness.. And everyone deserves that. He hasn't been jaded because of losing someone so dear to him, and has allowed himself to love deeply, plus…… he realizes that even though he is a multi millionaire many times over, he certainly is just as Human as the next guy.
No one is exempt from the statistics this life has to offer. Personally I wish him and his entire family the best….

That is SO RUDE! Obviously you are Not a parent, or at least I Hope Not! North was premature… Thus once babies reach the age of gestation (when they Should have been born) then That is the age you go by for when they are 'late' doing certain things as YOU so boldly state!
And no, I don't agree with leaving children to go off on vacation etc (honeymoon excluded), but it is Their choice not to have their child in the public eye.
How many celebrities Sell their baby pics? And wedding pictures? Too many to count actually. This Proves that they put the childs safety and privacy above all.

@Lorraine, Sweetheart, it is what it, an opinion,a great one at that ok,and only God knows of all the Wicked,Evil,Kurses that surrounds the kards/west/jenner family. No insults intended, I am a very spiritual person without the judging of others that is gods job. I can only also say everything is nothing but a smoke screen for fabricated scripted storylines to be written and printed, for Rotation for their non reality show. So on that note it is what is, NOTHING unless ones believe everything that has been written. So Much LOVE,and prayers, I do send your way Lorraine,and many many blessings as well.:) Oh by the way, I am a psychiatrist, sweetheart in more ways than you could ever image, SWEET DREAMS, and have a wonderful day.LOL!

Seriously Smiley55 who do you think you are kidding with your spirituality sh**! You are on this site constantly spewing bile about a family you do not even know. Your obsession is disturbing. If you truly know God, you will know it is a fact that God says no one should judge another, but that is something that obviously has flown past your head. Even your moniker is weird, when I see it, and read what you have to say about others, it sends a weird chill down my spine. Please get a life and get God, and spare us from your mean, toxic ways!
justsaying so chillout

How can you CLAIM you are a Spiritual person, yet at the same time writing about curses etc? Please give your head a FIRM Shake… And then Smash it several times against the nearest Wall!!! You sound like a Complete idiot!
I thank my lucky stars I am Not related to you, and I never have to deal with your mental problems in real time!
Go get shaking.. And don't forget to hit that head of yours really HARD! Maybe that will knock Some freaking sense into you!!!

He loves them cause they are willing to be puppets and obey. They say his mom was an sacrifice. So much has changed about all of them since Kanye and Kim got together, looks, dress, actions, jobs….so on and so forth. Someone is pulling the strings. They were doing well enough before him, but since him, it has been non stop kardashian/Jenner in the media. Shocking this, shocking that…blah blah
Posted at 6:08 PM on July 21, 2014
Although so many people hate Kim and Kanye, I actually really think they are a good couple and are likely to last, heck, they have a child. Anyone who's seen Kims instagram know that Kanye is very sweet and gives her extravegant gifts that she seems to love. They seem to have much in common with both being heavily involved in fashion. And I find it amazing that Kris, even though at times she doesn't give off a good impression besides the fact that she's a hard worker (aside from kim she's probably the most important factor to the family's success and she's a strong businesswoman who knows how to capitalize a product), has filled a mother role for Kanye. But everyone has their own opinion.
I would not be at all to shocked if jezebel kanimye-Botox, and kanye little boy-man are married now for the world to see, but behind closed doors it all a Publicity stunt. The marriage is pre arranged to ed to be annulled after the probation of marriage time. The signs are all right there and nothing is REAL with this two self absorbed people. I do wish them well, it is what it isKanye little boy-man, wants a BOY, and if he/they do decide to have another child, I pray that it will be twin GIRLS. Jezebel kankimye-Botox, would be so stretched out, a HUGE. Jezebe kankimye-Botox, will not be carrying another Baby, her body means the world to her. It is how she get PAID, do so on a real note. Jezebel kankimye-Botox, will PAY a surrogate to carry the baby while she hides out for the duration of the pregnancy PRETENDING, to Preggars taking faked out pics of course, she is not like Kourtney a die hard Mother who really does it All. Jezebel kankimye-Botox, is not going to Destroy her body having another,baby, she is so self absorbed with herself it's sickening. Poor little NWTTHP/Nori-seaweed/North/Ignori, she would really get ignored if it comes out a Boy. I can only say on a real note jezebel kankimye-Botox, spends little time with the one child she has being to busy INSTAGRAMING,and taking half nekkid selfie pics of herself wearing see through attire not to mention expoliting herself big time without a BRA on at the pool side. The world has seen practically everything so what else is NEW other than her BOOBS and her BOOTY is getting Bigger and Bigger. It seems that she feels she has to constant compete with her other sisters to stay on top. The world knows that Kendall is next to Pimp mama kris jenner, has already stated it from her own mouth. It is so sad the jezebel kankimye-Botox, has to compete with her siblings running in this competition with Kendall,khloe(18 yrs old will change in time,and diss all of them because her head is going to become so BIG watch and see),kylie,kourtney. Kanye little boy man, he is no better he is barely home with his daughter. Sad I do wish all well. It is what it is. Peace.

Hey Smiley55… You have quite a few Screws Loose, that is Clearly Obvious! But do you know what I just figured out about you??? You don't have a relationship, and I believe that you are a 64 year old MAN who has Short man syndrome… Or you are a bitter old lady who hates anyone else because you are so jealous you can only see RED! You have never had any luck in love and are Completely jaded because of it. You have all these negative opinions because of all this, and I'm also quite sure you are NOT an attractive person either. (Hatred makes people ugly, as we shine from within)
As a child you had a sibling who was Favored over you…. Which is where all this nonsense began. Why don't you do yourself a favor (and us too), and go seek out that therapy you've been Needing so desperately for YEARS!
You sound like a Complete Fool (to put it nicely)… Oh… And look up!!! As I have given you a much needed suggestion (involving your head), on a previous comment you've made here.
Then please… Do us All a favor and walk away from your computer! Or at least maybe read what you write before hitting the send button, it's So difficult to understand you and your lack of spelling and grammar.
Thank you…

Fan favourite film mag Empire recently released a list of cinema's greatest VFX shots as picked by industry experts and it certainly hit all the right notes. Classic scenes from Jurassic Park, Star Wars and The Abyss were all on there, but we were particularly proud to see number 1 being Davy Jones' face from POTC:DMC, which our very own Head of 2D and tutor Davi Stein worked on during her time at ILM! Congratulations Davi!
While it's a crying shame that Sharknado didn't make the cut, I'm finding it pretty hard to argue with the list, as Jurassic Park features twice and it's one of my favourite films ever. It was also nice to see a honourable mention go to the incredible sequences in Children of Men.
But what do you guys think? Are there any missed off the list? Avengers? Transformers? The Matrix? Sound off in the comments below and let us know!

Who should not use tadalafil (Cialis)? Tadalafil can cause hypotension (abnormally low blood pressure, which can lead to fainting and even shock) when given to patients who are taking nitrates. Patients taking nitrates daily should not take tadalafil. Most commonly used nitrates are medications to relieve angina (chest pain due to insufficient blood supply to heart muscle because of narrowing of the coronary arteries). These include nitroglycerine tablets, patches, ointments, sprays, pastes, and isosorbide dinitrate and isosorbide mononitrate. Other nitrates such as amyl nitrate and butyl nitrate are found in some recreational drugs called "poppers." Sildenafil can cause hypotension (abnormally low blood pressure that can lead to fainting and even shock) when given to patients who are taking nitrates (for heart disease). Therefore, patients taking nitrates daily should not take sildenafil. Nitrates are used most commonly to relieve angina (chest pain due to insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle because of narrowing of the coronary arteries); these include nitroglycerine tablets, patches, ointments, sprays, and pastes, as well as isosorbide dinitrate, and isosorbide mononitrate. Other nitrates such as amyl nitrate and butyl nitrate also are found in some recreational drugs called "poppers." In men 40 years of age or older, a breast examination, digital examination of the prostate, and a PSA level (prostate specific antigen) blood test should be done to exclude breast and prostate cancer before starting testosterone treatment since testosterone can aggravate breast and prostate cancers. Patients who have breast and prostate cancers or are suspected of having them should not use testosterone. Cialis low price viagra online best sites
Cialis low price Modern drug therapy for ED made a significant advance in 1983, when British physiologist Giles Brindley, Ph.D. dropped his trousers and demonstrated to a shocked Urodynamics Society audience his papaverine-induced erection.[33] The drug Brindley injected into his penis was a non-specific vasodilator, an alpha-blocking agent, and the mechanism of action was clearly corporal smooth muscle relaxation. The effect that Brindley discovered established the fundamentals for the later development of specific, safe, orally effective drug therapies.[34][better source needed][35][better source needed] The risk of developing heart attacks or abnormal heart rhythms during sex is low in men with well-controlled hypertension, mild disease of the heart valves, well-controlled heart failure, mild and stable angina (with a favorable treadmill stress test), successful coronary stenting or bypass surgery, and a remote history of heart attack (more than eight weeks previously). Sildenafil can be used safely in men in these low-risk groups. What will the future bring for erectile dysfunction? Combination therapy for the treatment of erectile dysfunction has been under investigation. Most of these studies have been small trials, and long-term data regarding their effectiveness and safety are lacking. However, with thorough evaluation and counseling, there may be a use for combination therapy for certain individuals with ED.

Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) - This is similar to magnetic resonance imaging. Magnetic resonance angiography uses magnetic fields and radio waves to provide detailed images of the blood vessels. Doctors may inject a "contrast agent" into the patient's bloodstream that causes vascular tissues to stand out against other tissues.

Good Marvels: Doctor Strange: The Oath #2, Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane #12, X-Factor #13
- Posted by Johanna on November 26, 2006 at 10:50 pm
- Category: Superhero Reviews
- PUBLISHER: Marvel
I thought, over the holiday weekend, I'd sit down and read some comics. I had a stack of DC and Marvel stuff I thought might be interesting, and no pressure to review them. (Although I still can't stop myself from telling you what I thought of them.) I even enjoyed some of them… but oddly, only the Marvels. Which, even given everything over the past few years, still seems strange to me, because I was always a DC girl. Growing up, I read Superman and Wonder Woman. When I got back into comics in grad school, it was Legion of Super-Heroes. (Heck, right now I'm wearing my DC Bullets baseball jersey, but that's because it's old, soft, comfy, and a KC hand-me-down.)
I could recognize most of the characters in Crisis on Infinite Earths and New Frontier, but I knew little and cared less about the Marvel characters. Maybe that's why their comics now work for me. When I read DC, I keep thinking that the characters aren't right. Marvel, I have few comparisons and thus not many jolts out of the comic when they get it wrong.
Anyway, I liked Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane #12 — it's good teen soap opera, and I was surprised to note that this issue didn't even have Spidey OR Peter Parker in it. Instead, Harry and Mary Jane are being interviewed for the school paper about being the biggest flirts in school. (So, entertaining, but not terribly significant in the long-term scheme of things.)
I giggled at Doctor Strange: The Oath #2 because it's so wrong in silly ways. Strange has found a cure for cancer (which faithful manservant Wong has), only he was beaten up and it was stolen. So now he's in some underground hospital being patched up by the take-no-crap Night Nurse.
I like her. She demands to come with him when he tries to leave. When he says that he doesn't want an assistant, she says, "I'm not your sidekick, Stephen. I'm your primary caregiver." Then he makes a joke about her title sounding like porn.
Plus, she makes for a wonderful excuse to tell the presumably new reader all the bits of Strange's history they're unfamiliar with.
This is not the Strange I've known about and been uninterested in. This is the oh-so-mystical Strange not coping well with his circumstances. The way Brian K. Vaughan is writing this, Strange, after being treated and while casting a spell to put his shirt back on (because that's the way he does things, I guess), starts talking about the Defenders' group insurance plan covering the cost. This is not a typical subject for a superhero comic. But it's fun. (Art is by Marcos Martin.)
And Strange finally says what has been read between the lines all along: "By the hoary ****-ing hosts!"
And here's the one that I loved best: X-Factor #13. If I was restricted to only one corporate comic, this would be it. It's funny. Which makes me laugh in itself, because once upon a time, writer Peter David was convinced I hated everything he wrote just because he wrote it. Now, I love telling people how good this comic is. (I don't know whether he changed, I changed, or both, but I like the idea of things getting better over time. A redemption story is also appropriate for this book.)
This issue is a throwback to a classic story from David's earlier run (1991-1993) on the title in which the team members individually go to a psychiatrist. (Art is capably provided by Pablo Raimondi.) Guido's in deep pain over what previous actions might reveal about him, but the character that really catches my eye (as usual) is Layla. She's firmly in the mold of other scary genius children of literature, but at least she's not evil. It takes skill to write a believable smart person, especially one so unpredictable, and I think her portrayal is a tour-de-force. (Not least because she was created as a crossover plot device by the much less talented Brian Michael Bendis, so David's redemption of her is even more impressive.)
The other characters — Siryn, Monet, Madrox, Rahne, and Quicksilver (one of the few participants who was also in that long-ago first issue) — also reveal secrets about themselves, whether they want to or not. This kind of issue is terrific, because it serves as a great starting point for someone who wants to know who the cast are and what motivates them. Yet it's even more rewarding for someone who's already following the book, because there are plenty of surprises there for them, too.
I can't think of anyone else in corporate comics today who blends truly funny humor (because it's character-based) with deep realistic emotion, even though it's the spandex set.

November 27, 2006 at 7:07 AMJohanna, given the make-up and history of the Defenders, I find it odd that they have a health care plan. Who funds it? And does anyone other than Dr. Strange really need it?
I like the idea that Dr. Strange is human enough to case a spell to put his shirt on because he is still sore from his injuries and wants to avoid the discomfort of manually putting it back on.
- Johanna Says:
November 27, 2006 at 7:29 AMI love your Dr. Strange explanation, but the Defenders question is a bit too fannish for me. I don't know why I draw the line between the two, but there it is.
- Ed Sizemore Says:
November 27, 2006 at 7:56 AMWell, the Defenders question was meant to be sarcastic and rhetorical. I should have written it better to bring out those qualities. Even under that reading it might still be a bit fannish.
- Johanna Says:
November 27, 2006 at 8:32 AMOh. Well, it's kind of funny. And wouldn't Nighthawk need some medical assistance, given that he's a Marvel Batman?
- Ed Sizemore Says:
November 27, 2006 at 8:43 AMJohanna, You have me beat. I was thinking of the classic four Defenders. I had to look at Wikipedia to see the full membership list. Guess, this ends my career in Marvel snark.
- Johanna Says:
November 27, 2006 at 9:25 AMWell, the Defenders IS the only Marvel title I've read all the way through, so I should be able to remember more of them. (I know, weird choice, but there it is.)
But yeah, I can't see the Hulk making much use of a medical plan. Banner, though…

November 27, 2006 at 2:40 PMJD: Thanks. I just knew, when I mentioned that, that I had probably overlooked him somewhere. Did he have a speaking line?
- JD Says:
November 27, 2006 at 5:58 PMWell, yes. Basically, he's rehearsing his lines to try and talk to MJ about her recent attitude (not that anybody around pays any attention to him).

I aways thought of the beaver as being a very unique animal that I like simply because it is so much different than other animals.
I live in Illinois and the beaver does exists but is a bit of an oddity and is rarely seen among people who live in the state. However in Oregon these unique animals seem to be all over the place and although they may wreak havoc sometimes they are still the animals that make the state's identity and stand out among the animals in the state.
Their importance in the state's founding and settlement is known and their unique look only adds to their charm and makes the animal the perfect choice in its selection as the stae animal to be perfect and very unique.
