In the enterprise building mobile applications is as much about integration and the corresponding challenges as it is about pure application development.
Recent industry reports reveal that more than 70% of mission-critical data and most of the pivotal business logic that runs worldwide commerce still resides on existing host systems. Based on this dependency, as well as their speed and power, host systems are unquestionably here to stay for most large organizations and will continue to be a foundation for business success as organizations design and implement new business initiatives.
However, many of those same organizations have also invested in packaged applications (SAP, Siebel, Oracle Applications, PeopleSoft, etc.) to manage their businesses. When building mobile solutions that leverage these systems, enterprise developers want to use the existing business logic of these applications (to ensure data integrity, security, etc.) and not have to recreate this logic in new systems.
For many organizations a mobile enterprise solution will need to expose business functions from numerous core business systems in a single, seamless, easy-to-use interface, delivering real business value.
That core business functionality is housed on multiple platforms, including structured data such as databases and unstructured data such as host, ERP, CRM applications and middleware. Without a comprehensive mobile platform with built-in connectivity to these core systems, delivering mobile solutions becomes very difficult.
Therefore, in the enterprise, mobile applications are an extension of the company's existing systems and processes and are very rarely standalone applications in their own right. They are about allowing a mobile workforce to have real-time and continuous access to corporate business processes and information.
Many mobile enterprise applications require real-time access to multiple existing business systems. For example, to provide the sales team with a complete view of the customer, the mobile application might need to interact with the corporate SAP system for sales information, the Siebel system for customer care issues and the mainframe for customer records. To be practical, (limited real estate, data bandwidth, etc.) the mobile enterprise solution should only provide the specific data required for the task and not try to be general-purpose.
As such, mobile integration follows the same principles and tenets as any other integration issue in the corporation. Today's guiding principle for integration is Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and its major delivery mechanisms XML and Web Services. SOA promises to decouple the end devices and their operating environments from the integration of mobile services with corporate applications. The adoption of XML and Web Services will help this come about.
Today, the consensus supports the adoption of mobile middleware. It's clear that off-the-shelf integrated application adapters combined with the capability to define and coordinate transactions across multiple back-end corporate applications (with process management) is the recipe for delivering corporate business processes and applications to mobile devices.
Mobile Computing
The spike in laptop, notebook, and tablet-type devices over the last few years underscores the demand for information that travels with people as they move around. These devices have become essential tools for many different types of mobile workers, from sales people to service technicians, who need to access and enter data electronically.
In recent years, the market for small handheld computers such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) has grown rapidly and trends are pointing toward exploiting mobile technology even more. Research shows that while laptops are still the mobile device of companies, smaller handheld devices are being used to deliver mobile e-mail to field personnel. The RIM Blackberry has been at the forefront of this new age of mobile communication, but other vendors are able to deliver mobile e-mail on other handheld devices such as those using the Microsoft Windows Mobile and Symbian platforms. In addition, many employees have purchased handheld devices and are looking to leverage these devices in their business lives. Many companies now face the challenge of coming up with a strategy that turns PDAs into useful productivity and communications devices. These companies face an equal challenge due to the rapid evolution of PDA technology - much faster than conventional PCs and laptops.
Nowadays most of these devices come loaded with more than one wireless option for data communications including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), and other 3G network technologies such as EDGE. All of these devices come with browser support, which in most cases, goes beyond support for Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) to support standard HTML-based Web sites. Most of these modern devices also support development frameworks, such as J2ME and the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework, which creates new opportunities to develop solutions beyond mobile e-mail. With this, the availability of literally thousands of Wi-Fi hotspots has meant that a combination of 3G GPRS and Wi-Fi can realistically be used to deliver the mobile infrastructure needed by the enterprise.
The real opportunity for companies is to move beyond mobile e-mail and begin to leverage the millions of mobile devices already in the hands of salespeople, service representatives, and customers, delivering corporate information directly to the point where it's needed.
The Mobile Internet - Reality versus Hype
In the past the media - with plenty of eager help from overzealous marketing campaigns - has generated a massive amount of hyperbole about the potential of the mobile Internet. By confusing "Internet-capable" with "can do everything that the wired Internet can do," the mobile Internet has been over-sold. Many companies' inflated expectations have been dashed by the realities of yesterday's first-generation implementation of the mobile Internet.
If we look back to the year 2000, it was estimated that by 2004 the number of Internet-capable cell phones being shipped and used would outstrip - by a large margin - those that didn't have a data communications capability. That milestone was reached in half the time.
According to Forrester Research in 2005 mobile networks covered 80% of the world's population, which means that more than five billion people are within range of a cellular network. And a quarter of the world's population - some one-and-a-half billion people - use mobile services. In addition, 78% of those users are connected to GSM networks, with the greatest penetration of mobile use in Europe followed by the United States.
IDC has estimated that more than 55 million mobile devices were sold in 2005, a boost of 165% over 2004. In other surveys IDC has said that approximately 40% of these devices will possibly require middleware in an enterprise environment. It's estimated that there are tens of millions of phones capable of running J2ME applications - all of which can integrate with the enterprise through their HTTP and Web capabilities.
Gartner, the research company, estimates that mobile terminal sales is likely to reach 848 million by 2008. Gartner also estimate that in the third quarter of 2005 shipments of Smartphones exceeded 12 million units. World Smartphone shipments surpassed those of PDAs for the first time in 3Q04 by 1.2 million units, and in 3Q05 this gap widened to nine million units.
Lessons Learned
Mobile Internet pioneers have learned some important lessons:
- The mobile Internet is not suitable for all of the same applications you find on the wired Internet. The key is choosing applications that fit in the screen space and speed constraints of today's mobile devices. Applications that provide on-the-spot order entry, sales force automation, customer lookups, and equipment service are all excellent candidates for mobile Internet use.
- Mobile Internet technology, at all levels, is moving very fast - handsets, network speeds, interoperability standards, and protocols are all evolving rapidly. Mobile phone manufacturers, network infrastructure players, and mobile network providers are investing massive amounts of resources in developing and deploying the next-generation networks. Today's devices have bigger full-color screens as well as faster networks that enable even more types of applications and services to go mobile.
- Mobile network technology is not a North American technology, or European, or is it GSM-specific or tied to any transport network or technology. Mobile applications mask all the local differences and enable worldwide deployment of mobile applications using virtually any handset and wireless network.
When it comes to the benefits of mobile technology in the enterprise, most companies cite better employee productivity as the major gain, with the advantages of real-time access to corporate information a close second. The more information people have at their disposal, the better decisions they will make.
Forrester defined mobile enterprise technology as a set of technologies - including networks, infrastructure, and portable devices - that enable employees and systems to use applications in a mobile environment. Key deliverables from mobile-enabling corporate applications include a boost in customer service, an increase in productivity, and a reduction in costs.
The concept of multi-channel and multi-modal applications means that corporate applications should inherently be able to support access from any device. Of course, in reality this is not the case and won't be for quite some while. In the meantime, mobile application middleware will deliver solutions that allow both legacy custom-developed applications and contemporary packaged applications to be accessed from handheld devices from a multiplicity of vendors. Obviously, any mobile middleware solution should have built-in support for as many enterprise applications, old and new, as possible.
Back in 2004 Gartner said that companies should plan for a widening range of mobile application platforms to become available. It advised companies to plan on mobile applications becoming a strategic part of their IT portfolio and not just tactical solutions.

Back to Basics for Stick Burners- Smoking Blind?

Location: Hicksville, NY
I have been learning how to use a stick burner this year and it has been all blind. I am getting better at cooking this way but I still have a ways to go.
I have been checking for doneness by feel of meat and sometimes a probe to check tenderness for about a year now. I only use a thermapen for poultry, just to be safe.
I have backed into this though because I started off with a pellet grill and then a WSM with a guru.
Surely but slowly I am shedding the technology. My wife thinks I am crazy but she accepts my goal of cooking like a caveman. Well, a caveman with an offset smoker and some beers.

One of the "6 uglies of the aging face" is sagging or fat protrusion. At mid forties patients will notice the eyebrows are lower than they used to be when they were in their early 30's. Their eyes may appear smaller and people will often ask if they are tired. There can be excessive upper eyelid skin also making the eyes smaller as well. The lower eyelid can begin to show bulges especially when looking in a mirror with your head bowed down.
In the midface, the cheek mounts can fall making the lip-cheek groove appear deeper than it should. At the same time the cheek mount will lose volume and shrink.
In the lower face, jowls appear as the fat becomes more obvious. Usually in most females that can occur at their mid 40's. If left, the jowls become larger and the natural jaw line of youth disappears.
However, the neck can age slower than the jowl formation. If a patient has fat under their chin; that does not really sag until menopause and, of course much much later in men. The mound of fat will act as a weight causing it sag and become more obvious. Often there is no fat under the chin, and cords start to appear around menopause. Early on, they can be helped by Botox, but eventually surgery will be needed.
When significant sagging occurs, surgery is often the best choice, but other choices can be available. Dr Ellis will make a proper diagnosis so that patients can make a proper educational choice that meets their needs in a very natural way.

Need help choosing primer for kitchen cabinets
I started off using Zinsser BIN for a primer on my kitchen cabinets (after cleaning and sanding), but it dries within seconds, which makes it hard for me to apply evenly. I had used it successfully painting paneling, but with the cabinets, the slightest uneveness shows through. I've gotten better with some practice, but I think I'd rather try to find a primer that's easier to work with.
I see that Zinsser 1-2-3 is recommended for cabinets, but is there any concern with using a water-based primer on the cabinets? I don't know exactly what's on them now. I would call it generically "varnish", since it's not paint, but I don't use that word in any technical sense.
I also see people using BM Fresh Start, but there are all different kinds. Assuming water-based is okay, I would guess that Acrylic Superior Primer (046) would be best?
My cabinets are dark brown, so in addition to getting a good bond, something that's good for hiding would be a plus.
When I was at BM the guy there recommended Fresh Start Alkyd for my cabinets..
There's also a new one from Zinsser called Smart Prime which is water based..
Any one tried it yet ???
jenes I know BM store sells this also .If you get a chance ask the paint guy what he thinks of Smart Prime...

Told in rhyming text and illustrations that need each other to work as wonderfully as they do in A Leaf Can Be . . . The author and illustrator explore the role of leaves from the viewpoint of all four seasons. From spring and summer, when the days are warm and long A Leaf Can Be . . . an air cleaner, Earth greener. This is my favorite couplet. The illustrations should be on every Earth Day poster. These four words and two illustrations say mouthfuls about pollution and the need for green spaces. From autumn to winter and cold, short days, A Leaf Can Be . . . a wind rider, lake glider.
One interesting thing I noticed about A Leaf Can Be . . . it is an example of how small the world is or how connected the world has become. The author, Laura Purdie Salas makes her home in Minnesota. The illustrator, Violeta Dabija has her home in Moldova. That's approximately 5,180 miles apart and they made a great collaboration.
From biology to zoology, teachers can find many lesson subjects. Just the leaf is a great lesson, as the author and illustrator have shown in their book. A section called More about Leaves, and a explain in their glossary, explain job a leaf performs in this book., such as the water ladle and the moth matcher. There is also a list of references in the back. The number of discussions this book could trigger is endless. Whether home schooled or brick-and-mortar, this 32-page book can enhance any student, at any level, to think way beyond what A Leaf Can Be . . .

Beautifully illustrated, lovely story
A leaf is just part of a tree, right? It emerges in the spring, matures during the summer, and then, in the fall, changes color and falls off. But a leaf can be so much more and in this lovely new book, author and illustrator take the young reader on an adventure to learn about all the wonderful possibilities. A leaf is a leaf ¿ / a bit of tree. / But just try to guess / what else it can be! Using poetry to gently show what else a leaf can be, author Laura Purdie Salas has come up with quite a list. Starting with the spring and taking us all the way through winter, we see so many things leaves can be as they change with the seasons. From the obvious ¿ sun taker/food maker ¿ to the more unusual, - snake concealer, the reader will learn about so many things that leaves can be used for. I particularly appreciated the inclusion of air cleaner/earth greener as well as fine healer. No review of this book would be complete without mentioning the truly beautiful drawings that capture the essence of the story. Bright and playful, they also have a delicate look to them that truly gives this book a unique feel. At the back of the book are several informational pages, with explanations for each of the uses of leaves mentioned in the story, as well as a glossary and further reading suggestions. Quill says: Whether or not your child is a burgeoning botanist, this book is sure to become a bedtime favorite.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Derivatives, like insurance, should insure against risks properly by being priced properly--not wishfully, as they have been. This extreme "gaming" of the world financial system is really just a reflection of a kind of childish omnipotence that exists at the highest levels of our education and economic institutions. Now all we can do is hope that the deleveraging process can occur without an ultimate disaster. When will we ever learn.
FDIC would merely give more leverage for risk-taking at no extra premium seemingly.
The FDIC is supposed to act as an insurer and regulator. It assesses fees against the banks as premiums. Whether it is or is not a true insurer, or the divil incarnate, or something useful but theoretically impossible (the analogy is Canada) is a theological question debated earnestly by the learned priests and bishops of the various denominations of Economists, Philosophers, Pundits, Journalists and Politicians. From WWW.fdic.gov is this statement about just who the FDIC is. Who is the FDIC?The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) preserves and promotes public confidence in the U.S. financial system by insuring deposits in banks and thrift institutions for at least $100,000; by identifying, monitoring and addressing risks to the deposit insurance funds; and by limiting the effect on the economy and the financial system when a bank or thrift institution fails.An independent agency of the federal government, the FDIC was created in 1933 in response to the thousands of bank failures that occurred in the 1920s and early 1930s. Since the start of FDIC insurance on January 1, 1934, no depositor has lost a single cent of insured funds as a result of a failure. The FDIC receives no Congressional appropriations – it is funded by premiums that banks and thrift institutions pay for deposit insurance coverage and from earnings on investments in U.S. Treasury securities. With an insurance fund totaling more than $49 billion, the FDIC insures more than $3 trillion of deposits in U.S. banks and thrifts – deposits in virtually every bank and thrift in the country.Savings, checking and other deposit accounts, when combined, are generally insured to $100,000 per depositor in each bank or thrift the FDIC insures. Deposits held in different categories of ownership – such as single or joint accounts – may be separately insured. Also, the FDIC generally provides separate coverage for retirement accounts, such as individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Keoghs, insured up to $250,000. The FDIC's Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator can help you determine if you have adequate deposit insurance for your accounts.The FDIC insures deposits only. It does not insure securities, mutual funds or similar types of investments that banks and thrift institutions may offer. (Insured and Uninsured Investments distinguishes between what is and is not protected by FDIC insurance.)
I admit I have only a dim understanding of this CDS trading. I am familiar with one example of it and it scares me. It is the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Unlike private derivative contracts where the price can adjust to reflect risk we have, in America, a 'counterparty' that guarantees the principal and interest of bank deposits.
Unfortunately, a troubled bank can pass on its credit risk to the FDIC at no cost to itself. That is, it can advertise for deposits and offer a premium return in exchange for them and have the risk of default be born, at no additional cost to itself, by the FDIC. Is this crazy or what?

THE SEPARATION is the story of twin brothers, rowers in the 1936 Olympics (where they met Hess, Hitler's deputy); one joins the RAF, and captains a Wellington; he is shot down after a bombing raid on Hamburg and becomes Churchill's aide-de-camp; his twin brother, a pacifist, works with the Red Cross, rescuing bombing victims in London. But this is not a straightforward story of the Second World War: this is an alternate history: the two brothers - both called J.L. Sawyer - live their lives in alternate versions of reality. In one, the Second World War ends as we imagine it did; in the other, thanks to efforts of an eminent team of negotiators headed by Hess, the war ends in 1941. THE SEPARATION is an emotionally riveting story of how the small man can make a difference; it's a savage critique of Winston Churchill, the man credited as the saviour of Britain and the Western World, and it's a story of how one perceives and shapes the past.
Christopher Priest's novels have built him an inimitable dual reputation as a contemporary novelist and a leading figure in modern SF and fantasy.

Bloc Party's Russell Lissack teamed up with American vocalist Milena Mepris in 2004 to form Pin Me Down, a needling, gutsy, dancefloor-friendly indie rock project that nodded to acts like Ladyhawke, Bella, the Long Blondes, and (unsurprisingly) Bloc Party. The duo derived its name from a text message Lissack sent to Mepris in the early days of their collaboration. Mepris was trying to get ahold of Lissack, who at that point was getting ready to play a gig with Bloc Party; he wasn't able to answer his phone, so he sent her a message stating, "Pin me down at 7." The duo's debut single, "Cryptic," was released on Kitsune Maison 5 Golden Edition in early 2008.

Need help making roman swoop valance
beachbaby805November 30, 2012
I have a double window in my kitchen, and I would like to make a stationary roman swoop valance with an inside mount for each window. I need some guidance as to how much fabric to allow for the gathered swag at the bottom and for side seams.
I haven't sewed in years, so I've forgotten quite a bit. Thanks!
I haven't sewed in years, so I've forgotten quite a bit. Thanks!
It's similar to those photos, but the ends pull up. The roman swoop valance is sometimes also called a mock or faux relaxed roman shade, because it is stationary and doesn't operate as a traditional roman shade does.
Ok, well, in both of these pictures there is no gathering, so you would buy fabric to cover only the width of the window plus the return on the rod plus seam allowance. So, say you have a window that is 40" wide, the rod has a 3" return on both sides, and you do a 1" seam allowance on both sides. 40 + 6 + 2 = 48".
Does that make sense?

One Person Hurt in Tulsa Fire
By KWGS News

Friendly owners, very comfortable rooms and beds, nice breakfast. - Anonymous
Our visit to this hotel was a highlight of our 2 month tour of Europe, the location is stunning, the views are amazing. The units are incredible, clean tidy and well appointed in an ancient building. The restaurant is very good. The absolute highlight for us were the lovely staff particularly David, exceptional quality of service, the nice thing is David will be a life long friend and has been invited to stay with us back in NZ. - Anonymous
The hotel staffs were very helpful and friendly. We initially requested a double room and one extra bed and one baby cot, but they offered us a bigger room, situated at the top of the tower. The room had a nice view of the river and spacious enough for our children to play around. The meals in the restaurant were very nice and cost much less than we expected. - Anonymous

Foxygen On World Cafe
By editor
In a segment from January of last year — around the time they released their successful debut, We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic — Foxygen's Jonathan Rado and Sam France turn up on World Cafe to perform and discuss songs from their album together.
More recently, Foxygen has dropped hints about a forthcoming double album, as well as the possibility of five upcoming releases that would each center on a different era from the past. But in the meantime, now is as good a time as any to revisit the songs that made the band famous in the first place.

Fig cuttings
Hi, I have read so many of these fig posts and am excited about trying to plant some of my own fig trees here in Ft. Worth, TX. Does anyone have a good idea where to get some cuttings?
I would say better you get it from a person that has a good fig that bears fruit in your area. A neighbour would be a good donor. From my experience, it is better to get a cutting from a fig that bears fruit and you are sure 100% of it. Even if you can choose the most fruiting branch this would make it a better choice ;).
Drop me an email here in the late winter, and I'll send you some cuttings of my one kind-of-big fig tree, lol. It's a very yummy Italian fig that bears often. It's purple-brown with a closed eye, kind of pink inside (not red).
It's still kind of small, but I do prune it to let lots of light in. That is, if we haven't had a severe winter. It does lose wood if it gets really, really cold for here.

Gracious and Relaxing!
We spent our 25th anniversary at the Gables and had a wonderful time. We stayed in the Governor's Room. It was spacious, beautifully decorated and the bed and chairs were very comfortable. The Christmas decorations are really wonderful, there was even a small tree and other decorations in our room. There are lots of movies available to borrow and every amenity you might want. The innkeepers are helpful, low-key and unobtrusive and there are helpful signs to explain how things work. Breakfasts are delicious and beautifully served. While in town be sure to enjoy a trip to the Busckstaff Bath House. We had two trips included in the package we purchased. I had lots of aches and pains when I arrived and left three days (and three Buckstaff trips) later without a single ache or pain and feeling like a kid. I'm addicted. The grounds are beautiful, they have three large fountains, an exercise room in the old summer kitchen, and much more.
Cozy with just the right ambience
Our weekend was a gift from our son and daughter in law. I loved the place as soon as I stepped inside. The innkeepers are both wonderful--welcoming, efficient, gracious and low key. It was beautifully decorated for a Victorian Christmas and the Lillian room was so nice! Everything was spotlessly clean and authentic while also very comfortable. The breakfasts were amazing and we enjoyed visiting with some wonderful couples also there.
We have already recommended the Gables Inn to many friends and will continue to do so. It was an excellent weekend we hope to repeat. Will definately go again.
Wonderful place to stay
The Gables Inn is a wonderful place for a romantic get-a-way. My husband and I stay here quite often. All the rooms are wonderful and well kept. The inn keepers do an excellent job of taking care of your every need.
It is located within walking distance of downtown Hot Springs. It is beautiful to walk through there at night looking at all the historic sights.
"Rude innkeepers"
I do not normally write reviews concerning my stay at a hotel but since this was my first B&B I thought I should write something so others will not waste their money on The Gables.
I did not write a review immediately because I thought my husband and I were simply not liked by the innkeepers. Now, I see that I was NOT the only ones.
My husband and I had the feeling that we were not welcomed in this home. It is a pretty expensive place to be if you are not felt welcomed!!
The breakfast was certainly nothing to get excited about. In fact, it tasted as if it was out of the frozen section rather than home baked. I did hear from a number of locals the place to stay was the Wildwood B&B. We will be back but at a different location.
Breathe Taking!!!
We stayed here in the Sunshine room in Nov. It was truly wonderful!! However, the room is small, and the jacuzzi tub is not "private" because it's off to the side in the bedroom area. There is no seperation b/w the two.
They had just decorated the house for Christmas and what a job they did!! Breathe Taking!!! The Inn keepers were wonderful, and Judy went above and beyond to make sure our stay was as stress free as possible...The breakfast was awesome!! Very fancy, like award winning receipes you would find in Southern Living.
I can not express enough how great our package (included with our stay) was. They had all our tickets ready for us when we got there, which was a BIG help!! Highly recommend BuckStaff Bath House, Coy's, and Garvan Woodland Gardens (especially this time of year for the spectacular Holiday lights display, and the hot chocolate they serve at night for the display was the best). It was soooo Beautiful! I am already planning our trip for next year and look forward to staying again at Gables Inn Bed and Breakfast!!
Great details, bad attitude...
My husband and I stayed at the Gables Inn in conjunction with a wedding. Although the rooms are clean, every amenity is provided and the location is great this place has a few flaws.
The owners are obsessed with rules and are unfriendly. Normally, I have not problem with this, but when I am reminded consistently with miniature signs (posted everywhere) and there is a palpable feeling of unfriendliness, it wears. I do not recommend staying here if you value helpful, accommodating service.
Celebrated My 60th B'day
This place certainly added to our celebrating my 60th b'day. We stayed in the Lillian Room with a balcony, claw foot tub and excellent shower. This was a small room but big enough for two.
Down town is a good 3-4 block walk.
Good off the street parking here.
The innkeepers are both super nice, provided an interesting tour of the home and delicious breakfast.
Beautiful yard with various places to sit for a chat.
We have already recommended it to our friends and family.
Gables Inn is Wonderful!
My Sister and I stayed a couple of nights at the Gables Inn, Hot Springs, AR., back in July 2001, right after our Mother died. Our stay was extremely plesant. The Govenor's room was very nice and it was large. It was very clean and the private bath was equally as nice. We loved the breakfast and the inn keepers were personable. Overall, the stay was excellent.
The Gables is the best
My new bride and I stayed at the Gables Inn for our honeymoon. It was the picture perfect honeymoon, we can not ask for more. The Gables is absolutely perfect. We will be celebrating our anniversies there for years to come. Breakfasts at the Gables we great, our room, The Governors room, was nothing less than impressive. Bed was large and the most comfortable Ive slept in. The heart shaped jacuzzi tub was terrific and put us both to sleep. It was a very quiet and relaxing experience, and we cannot wait to go back.
Great Time at Gables Inn
My wife and I had a fantastic weekend at the Gables Inn . We were in the Governor's room which is a very large room with great antique furnishings and a heart shaped whirlpool tub. The innkeepers were very nice and made sure that our stay was a pleasurable experience.

Another beautiful day!
We drove about 400 miles today. A little further than we had wanted, but we relaxed when we arrived. We are in a very nice RV park, Arkadelphia RV Park. We have driven through much farmland. Soybeans, corn and now some cotton fields. Farmers are praying for dry weather and wind to dry out their fields. The further south we came, the fields are drying enough and the farmers are busy with their ...
A Quick Sisters Visit
... visiting before the MacDonald's headed home to a Saturday work project. The rain storm last night, which had little effect on our location, created major destruction in the nearby towns of Malvern and Sheridan, AR. We witnessed miles of downed trees and wires making us realize how lucky we were.
No room in the campground for us to stay longer, so we headed south winding up in Jackson, MS for the night.
Friends and Fun - and an extended stay!
... we leave here, and looking forward to that.
Still doing a lot of online reviewing of motorhomes for sale - wondering what awaits us once we get to Texas!
Per Shanna Wimpee - next time we're here we should check out Lake Ouachita State Park - full hookups, 50 amp power, right on the lake (Site 25. Loop A.), current price $30/night. We'll take a ride out and check that out one day, too, as long as we're here!
Day 3 Clinton's Presidential Library
Went to Bill Clinton's Presidential Library & Museum today. It is an amazing Presidential Center on about 35 acres. It includes the library, a 20,000 square foot dramatic glass structure overlooking the Arkansas River, a park area that has the Clinton Park Bridge and a separate building which is the Clinton School of Pubic Policy, affiliated with the University of Arkansas. The library is very well ...

There's currently an abortion bill (S.B. 1318) in Arizona waiting to be signed into law by Republican Governor Doug Ducey. The bill, which made it through the House and Senate, will force doctors to tell patients that abortions can be "reversed." Furthermore, under this bill, abortions will not be covered by the Affordable Care Act.
If Gov. Ducey signs this bill into law (he's previously stated that he's against abortion), doctors will essentially be forced to lie to their patients. Republican Rep. Regina Cobb of Kingman argued fiercely against the bill stating that it forced doctors to spread "non-evidence based medicine." As Brandy Zadrozny notes at The Daily Beast, if S.B. 1318 is passed, it will not be the first law that binds doctors to relay misinformation to abortion patients:
… Read the rest
It's the first reversal language of its kind to make it through a state legislature, and should it become law, will join a long list of information that doctors in The Grand Canyon State are forced to relay to patients seeking an abortion—much of which providers know to be misleading and aimed less at informed consent and more at dissuading women from choosing the procedure.

|Song lyrics
(conversation between father and son)
(Son) Dad, has it always been this way?
(Dad)Well, even from the beginning men hated Jesus
Even though he did nothing but love all men
And teach them and heal them.
They nailed him to a cross.
They thought they had killed Him, but they only set him free
To live in the hearts of people like you and me who believe in Him.
Then came the apostles and most of them were killed
For telling other people about Jesus.
But by that time it was too late
There were hundreds of people who believed in Jesus
So they tortured them and killed them
And they even left their bodies to rot as an example to other people,
But the church kept right on growing
Watered by the blood of these precious Saints.
(Son) But Dad, Did they want to die?
(Dad)No. They didn't want to die. I mean, many of them had children
Just like you they had to leave behind.
But they were forced to make a choice.
They could choose to live this one life here on earth and reject Jesus
And be damned or they could to believe in the words of Jesus
And live forever.
(Son) I think I understand.
(Dad)Here, maybe this will help you understand.
I have heard how christians long ago
Were brought before a tyrants throne
And they were told that he would spare their lives
If they would renounce the name of Christ.
But one by one they chose to die
The Son of God they would not deny
Like a great angelic choir sings
I can almost hear their voices ring.
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb
With all my strength
With all I am
I will seek to honor His commands
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb.
Now the years have come and the years have gone
But the cause of Jesus still goes on
And now our time has come to count the cost
To reject this world, to embrace the cross
And one by one let us live our lives
For the One who died to give us life.
Till the trumpet sounds on the final day
Let us proudly stand and boldly say
To the Lamb of God who bore my pain
Who took my place, Who wore my shame.
I will seek to honor His commands
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb.
(converstation between father and son continues)
You've got to remember that it wasn't always this way.
I mean, my dad could even pray in school.
Of course, they took that away from him.
Then it became incorrect for us to believe in the Bible
And after that they just stripped our right to worship away from us
And we quietly stood by.
But son, I hope that you're never put in a position
That you have to choose between your faith and your life.
But if you are - I know which choice you're going to make
Because I know that Jesus lives inside of you.
In the meantime, just pray like I taught you how to
Take care of your mom
And remember that God is the Father of the fatherless.
(three times)

|I like this song alot! I think makes me think about whether I would do the same thing as the people in the song. If I were told I would be killed if I didn't renounce my faith, would I pass Gods test, or would I be a coward and choose life. It really encourages me to live a life that is completely sold out to my loving Lord.

Featuring exotic, highly figured Mexican Snake Wood back and sides, this guitar is a beauty!
John Page Classic, a new guitar brand, announces the Ashburn, its initial production model.
Metallica have just posted a 45-minute (!) video recap of the final show of their 30th anniversary celebration, which can be seen below.
One could probably call 2011 the year of rock and roll biopic.
After thirteen albums and countless tours, it's now time for Megadeth's Dave Mustaine to break into the app game. The guitarist has teamed up with the creators of Rock Prodigy to develop a brand new app for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch aimed at teaching his signature songs and techniques to players of all skill sets.
In case you missed it (video here,) Dave Mustaine joined Metallica on stage at the Fillmore in San Francisco for five songs on the final night of their 30th anniversary celebration. Mustaine recently talked to Powerline about the show, including his earliest memories of Metallica.
On the final night of Metallica's four-show 30th anniversary celebration, Megadeth leader and former Metallica guitarist Dave Mustaine joined his former bandmates onstage for five songs. You can check out video of Mustaine performing "Phantom Lord," "Jump in the Fire," "Metal Militia," "Hit the Lights" and "Seek & Destroy" below.
As we reported yesterday, Megadeth have received a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance for their song "Public Enemy No. 1." Megadeth will go up against Dream Theater, Sum 41, Foo Fighters and Mastodon in the category.
Earlier this month, Megadeth performed at the Maquinaria Festival in Santiago, Chile. Pro-quality footage from the performance has been posted online, and you can check out select clips from the band's November 12 show below.
Yet another song from Megadeth's upcoming thirteenth studio album, TH1RT3EN, is now streaming online, as they band have now premiered the song "Black Swan" via Hot Topic. You can stream the song in full below.
If you've already watched our interview with Slayer guitarist Kerry King from Yankee Stadium, then this news will come as no surprise, but for those of you who haven't heard yet, Megadeth were all set to pull out of the Big Four show at Yankee Stadium this past week.
In the following videos, Guitar World's Paul Riario reviews the new Zoom G2.1DM Dave Mustaine Signature Edition Pedal. Check out the "Sounds" video for the product demo, and "Features" to check out the product details and get our final verdict!

ICANN's Cozy Relationship With the US Must End, Says EU 193
from the feeling-left-out dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
So we get that little bonus.
We inveted your language. We get that little bonus.
France invented your democratic process. They get that little bonus.
Scotland invented the TV, they get that little bonus.
Oh, no, you're merkins, therefore American Exceptionalism To The RESCUE!!!!
The US "must" do this? I do not think that word means what you think it means.
I can see why the EU and/or UN would want the US to give up control over the ICANN contract, but every time this comes up, I have yet to see a single reason presented as to why the US would agree to do it.
Diplomacy involves the practical application of either the proverbial Carrot or Stick or Both. "Do this or I'll write further Official Letters demanding it" is not much of a stick, and it certainly isn't a carrot.
It evolved from a conglomeration of Germanic, French, and Latin.
Evolution is heresy. Jesus spoke perfect US English the moment he rode a dinosaur out of his virgin mother's cooch. Yippee ki-yay.
With your bare hands?!?
