Grade Level: Tracking Online Education in the United States
by the Online learning Consortium
An infographic of the report's findings is available at http://www.onlinelearningsurvey.com/report/2014SurveyInfo.pdf.
Grade Level:Tracking Online Education in the United States is the twelfth annual report on the state of online learning in U.S. higher education. The 2014 Survey of Online Learning conducted by the Babson Survey Research Group and co-sponsored by the Online Learning Consortium (OLC), Pearson and Tyton Partners, reveals the number of higher education students taking at least one distance education course in 2014 is up 3.7 percent from the previous year. While this represents the slowest rate of increase in over a decade, online enrollment growth far exceeded that of overall higher education.
Key report findings include:
- The year-to-year 3.7% increase in the number of distance education students is the lowest recorded over the 13 years of this report series.
- Public and private nonprofit institutions recorded distance enrollment growth, but these were offset by a decrease among for-profit institutions.
- The percent of academic leaders rating the learning outcomes in online education as the same or superior to those in face-to-face remained unchanged at 74.1%.
- The proportion of chief academic leaders reporting online learning is critical to their long-term strategy reached a new high of 70.8%.
- Only 28.0% of academic leaders say that their faculty accept the "value and legitimacy of online education."
- The adoption of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Course) is reaching a plateau, only 8.0% of higher education institutions currently offer one, another 5.6% report MOOCs are in the planning stages.
- The proportion of academic leaders who believe that MOOCs represent a sustainable method for offering online courses dropped to 16.3%.
Blackboard Collaborate is Coming!
Want to talk with a student face to face for a virtual office hour? Need to have a lecture online to make up for a snow closing? Want to have a meeting with your peers on another campus without wasting time in the car traveling? Blackboard Collaborate is here to help you with all of this and more.
Innovation for Online Students Benefits All Students
Higher education encompasses an ever-expanding continuum of instructional delivery models and systems. One-third of all college students nationally — more than 7.1 million — take at least one online class. At Penn State, where online education has been embedded in the institution since the first World Campus classes were offered in 1998, half of our resident students take at least one course online. The rapid increase of web-enhanced instruction throughout the learning enterprise is increasingly blurring the bifurcation between online and face-to-face instruction, and improving pedagogy and student learning across the university. . .

horseradish root
could someone please help me , i have just dug up some horseradish roots . i would to preserve some horseradish or horseradish sauce .i would like to know the best way of makeing some good hot horseradish ,what type of vinegar etc.
All manner of recipes in the attached google search. Let us know how it works out for you!
Here is a link that might be useful: Google Search - Horseradish Recipe
I don't have any especially good recipes to share, but, since the fumes can be pretty powerful, I can tell you to wear gloves AND a face mask AND eye protection - like swimming goggles. Somewhere there was a GardenWeb Forum thread where they discussed doing the grinding outside for best ventilation.
Sounds like wise advice.
Here's a similar tip from personal experience, never use a food dehydrator to dry HOT chili peppers (we are talking the flaming hot kind, ones getting up there a ways in the scoville scale) indoors. Sinuses, eyes, throat.....ouch!
There's been a post on the Vegetable forum which might interest you. Also worth visiting the Harvest forum.
Here is a link that might be useful: Horseradish
I store roots in my refrigerator for many weeks and grate what is needed right before dinner. I use a simple hand crater on a cutting board and combined the horseradish gratings with white vinegar. I absolutely love this preparation with a rare steak.

Megestrol acetate has not been tested for dialyzability; however, due to its low solubility it is postulated that dialysis would not be an effective means of treating overdose.

Bay Area Bites Guide To 5 Movie Theaters Serving Food and Alcoholic Beverages
Date night just got easier with this list of five local theaters that serve more than just popcorn and Junior Mints.
Think you've outgrown marshmallow Peeps? Think again. The homemade version offers just as much fun and far more flavor than the original. Kate Williams will show you how to make them for Easter.
And in the middle of everything would be a treat which would really bring home the drama of Christ's Passion in edible form. Something delicious and filling, but would still remind us of Christ's suffering with each and every mouthful: corn dogs on a cross.
The renowned chef may be famous for his Michelin-star-winning restaurants, but he also runs a string of gourmet bakeries. He shares some favorite confections for Easter, with recipes for hot cross buns, marshmallow eggs and carrot muffins.
Take an Easter Sunday drive to Petaluma, land of butter and eggs, for brunch at Della Fattoria Bakery and Cafe and a chicken-petting tour of Tara Firma Farms.
Vegan Easter bunnies yesterday, mustardy rabbit and carrot mashed potatoes on your table today!
Easter is coming up, and what better way to prepare than by planning out all the sweet treats you and the children in your life will be devouring? Vegans love Easter candy just as much as the next person, and, luckily, many vegan candy makers are happy to oblige.
Since eggs and Easter are inextricably linked, what better way to celebrate than with this fluffy, high-rising soufflé? As long as your guests can get to the table as soon it comes out of the oven, this impressive golden puff will never fail you.
It was faintly powdery– more like a rice cake than a piece of the Son of God. I had somehow imagined it would take on the some Everlasting Gobstopper-like ability to taste like something other than it was. But I had no time to be disappointed– I was too filled with awe. And God.
There is a tradition in my house around this time of year. Come Easter Sunday, a cake must be made, and it must be made in the shape of a bunny or a lamb, using a special bunny- or lamb-shaped cake pan (preferably the one passed along to me by my mother, from her mother). Once the cake is baked, it's frosted with white icing and lavished with pastel-dyed coconut (to represent bunny fur or lambswool, if bunnies had a thing for Manic Panic hair color). Jelly beans stand in for eyes, mouth, and general bejeweling. The type of cake–white, yellow, lemon–is less important than the fabulousness of the decoration.

I'm a firm believer of "practice makes perfect" however, in the case of eye liners, a certain extent of "artistic ability" also tends to play part. I usually imagine my eye liner brush as a paint brush and my face as my canvas (which in all honesty is how it works for me because make up IS a form of art..a beautiful, indulgent form of art, lol) and then imagine myself painting. It usually works out quite well, although adjustments are always needed :)
In real life she would be the worst. I mean just the worst. If I could be friends with someone from TV it would be George W. Bush. He's an awesome artist and doesn't put on airs. Most artists are not like that. He's the real deal. Not a poser artist. I hate those kinds of people.
How is it a security camera when it's shaking like someone's holding it? My husband and daughter swear that if this is a person holding the camera why are they videoing a quiet corner ? Either way it's pretty amazing to see that explosion happen at the exact moment that it did.
This story seems really incomplete. It goes from finding the men to following the fish. Are the men still there!?! Forgive my ignorance but is slavery legal in Indonesia? What is being done besides "appreciate[ing] the information and want[ing] to do something about this?
What an awful group of diseases... I imagine it to be like backward evolution, from an emotionally mature human to a purely reactive lizard, the long climb of childhood into the light reversed, going back to where we came from, but without the protection of a nurturing mother. In the end, with all control over fear lost, we can only rely on the mercy of our environment to not arouse the most deep seated emotions in us. Let it be quick.
My FIL was diagnosed with dementia just 3 years before he died. We was very active the 20 years or so after he retired but after surgery to remove a cancer from his bladder he had to slow down considerably and so did his mind. His wife and other two sons could not and would not care for him and wanted to put him in a nursing home. My husband and I knew we wouldn't have him long if this happened so we moved him in with us. Even before he died he still had lucid moments when he would tell us how much he loved us and how sad he was that the rest of his family had given up on him. Even on his worst days he would get so much pleasure by simply tossing playing cards at me, after picking them all up he would look at me and wink and ask if he could do it again. Yes, it was child like but it did make him happy. Regardless of the regression he was experiencing his basic personality never changed, he was sweet and fun loving all the way to the end.

The Jewel in the Crown (1984) is a British television serial about the final days of the British Raj in India during World War II, based upon the Raj Quartet novels by Paul Scott. Granada Television produced it for the ITV network.
The film opens in the fictional Indian city of Mayapore and is set during the 1940s against the backdrop of the last years of the British Raj and the Indian independence movement. Hari Kumar (Art Malik) is a young Indian man who was educated at the British public school (the term for a private school) 'Chillingborough' and considers himself English rather than Indian. The bankruptcy of his father, a formerly successful businessman, forces him to return to India to live with his aunt. He works as a journalist and becomes involved with a British woman, Daphne Manners (Susan Wooldridge), who does not share the prejudices of most of her people toward Indians. One night, after making love in a public park, the Bibighar Gardens, at the same time that violent anti-British demonstrations are taking place elsewhere in the city, Daphne and Hari are attacked by a group of unknown Indian men. Hari is beaten and Daphne is raped.
The local Indian Police superintendent is Ronald Merrick (Tim Pigott-Smith), a young Englishman who is intelligent and hardworking but is from a lower-class background. He had made advances to Daphne during her first months in India and been politely but firmly rebuffed. He holds Hari responsible for the rape and puts him in the local jail where he beats and sexually humiliates him. Merrick's motives are twofold: he resents Hari's privileged education and he resents the fact that Daphne clearly preferred Hari to him. Because Daphne refuses to cooperate with the investigation the charge of rape is not pursued, but Hari and a group of young, educated Indians also accused by Merrick are sent to prison without trial under the security regulations adopted to deal with the Indian independence movement. Word that Hari was tortured gets out and causes outrage in the Indian community, and Merrick is transferred out of Mayapore to a smaller and less important town in the province.
Daphne finds herself pregnant, she believes by Hari, but dies in childbirth. The child, a girl, is taken in by Daphne's aunt, Lady Manners, widow of a former governor of the province in which Mayapore is located. Lady Manners and the child happen to be visiting the resort area of Srinagar at the same time as another young British woman, Sarah Layton, who is there on vacation with her mother and her sister Susan. Sarah and Susan's father is the colonel of the Indian Army regiment in Pankot, a hill station near Mayapore, but is currently a prisoner of war in Germany. Susan and their mother prefer to stay away from Lady Manners due to the scandal of the child's birth, but Sarah pays a call on Lady Manners and the two women become friendly.
Sarah and her family soon encounter Merrick, who has left the police and procured a commission in the Indian Army. Susan's fiance Teddie Bingham, an Indian Army officer, is stationed in the nearby princely state of Mirat and Merrick, assigned there also, happens to be sharing quarters with Teddie. The wedding of Teddie and Susan will have to take place in Mirat because the troops there are soon to leave for the border with Burma. When Teddie's best man for the ceremony becomes ill, he asks Merrick to step in and Merrick, seeing a relationship with Teddie and the Laytons as a steppingstone to career advancement, is pleased to help. While Merrick and Teddie are driving to the ceremony a stone is thrown at their car, slightly injuring Teddie. Merrick understands that the stone was actually thrown at him, and is one of a series of incidents that suggest he is being targeted by people involved in the Indian independence movement because of his treatment of Hari Kumar and the other suspects in the Manners case in Mayapore.
Soon after the wedding Teddie and Merrick leave for the Burma front with their unit. There Teddie is killed in an ambush by soldiers of the Japanese-sponsored Indian National Army (INA). Merrick is badly wounded trying to get Teddie to safety and is evacuated to a hospital in Calcutta. Sarah visits him there at Susan's request to thank him for helping Teddie, and Sarah learns that his arm is to be amputated and that his face will always bear burn scars. Merrick reveals to Sarah that Teddie fell into the ambush because of him - Teddie left their unit to try to persuade two Indian soldiers of his own regiment who had been captured by the Japanese and joined the INA to surrender and come in. Merrick believes Teddie took this risk to prove to Merrick, who has nothing but contempt for Indians, that the Indian soldiers, even after becoming turncoats, would resume their loyalty to the British if given the chance. Teddie was wrong, and this mistake cost him his life and cost Merrick his arm.
At the insistence of Lady Manners there is a formal inquiry into the arrest and detention of Hari Kumar conducted by Nigel Rowan, an aide to the governor of the province. Rowan learns that Hari was tortured by Merrick, and as a result Hari is eventually released from prison. No action is taken against Merrick, however, and after recovering from his wounds he is promoted and assigned to intelligence activities concerning the INA and other Indian soldiers who collaborated with the enemy. He comes in contact with the Laytons again in Bombay, as Sarah is reunited with her father, Colonel Layton, who has just been released from a German POW camp following Germany's surrender. An Indian soldier who had served under Colonel Layton and assisted the Germans after Layton's unit was captured is to be interrogated by Merrick and that is the occasion for Merrick to renew his acquaintance with the family. Merrick meets Sergeant Guy Perron, a young Cambridge graduate and Indian history scholar, when he asks a Field Security unit to which Perron is assigned to send someone who speaks fluent Urdu to observe the interrogation. Perron also attended Chillingborough, and happened to know Hari Kumar when he was a student there, a fact Merrick learns by questioning Perron concerning his background. After the interrogation, Perron runs into Merrick and Sarah Layton by chance at a party, and accompanies them back to the apartment of Sarah's aunt, where she and her father are staying. Sarah and Perron are attracted to each other. Merrick decides to have Perron assigned to assist him in further investigations of Indian soldiers who became collaborators. Perron and Sarah both find Merrick distasteful, but Perron has no choice but to work with him.
Sarah's sister Susan Layton, after the death of her husband Teddie and the difficult birth of their son, suffers a mental breakdown and is treated in a hospital in Pankot. When Merrick returns to the Pankot area in connection with his inquiry into collaborators, he focuses his attention on Susan and ultimately marries her. Guy Perron later learns that Merrick blackmailed a young British hospital clerk into giving him access to Susan's medical records, apparently so that he could gain insight into her mental problems and use it to persuade her to marry him. Sarah, knowing nothing of this, is opposed to the marriage because of her dislike of Merrick, but she is unable to stop it.
With the surrender of Japan in 1945, the war in the East is ended and the days of British rule in India are numbered. Guy Perron, with the help of a well-connected relative, arranges a quick exit from the Army and a trip home to resume his career at Cambridge. On his last night in Pankot, he and Sarah share a tender moment, but due to his imminent departure neither of them knows when they will see the other again. Sarah and Susan's parents plan to return to England. Merrick plans to stay on, having gotten a contract from the government of Mirat to reorganize their police force.
In 1947, with the transition to Indian independence under way, Perron returns to India as an historian to observe the process. Visiting Mirat at the invitation of its Chief Minister, Count Bronowsky, whom he met briefly on his last trip to Bombay, Perron learns that Merrick has been murdered, apparently in the course of a sexual rendezvous with a young Indian man. The young man, probably employed by the same group that had been harassing Merrick in revenge for his actions in Mayapore years ago, admitted to Merrick's quarters an assassin who killed Merrick. The situation in Mirat is tense due to conflict between Hindus and Muslims, and in order to avoid making things worse the authorities there cover up the circumstances of Merrick's death, but Bronowsky tells Perron the real story in confidence. The two also discuss the fact that in leaving India, the British are opening up "Pandora's Box," releasing the ancient hatred between Hindus and Muslims that had been restrained by the power of the British as long as they ruled the country.
Sarah, Susan and their aunt are in Mirat for Merrick's funeral. Perron decides to accompany them on the train back to Pankot. Joining them is Ahmed Kasim, the son of a prominent Muslim politician who has been working for Bronowsky in Mirat for the past few years. On route to Pankot the train is stopped by a gang of Hindus who attack Muslim passengers in retaliation for recent attacks on Hindus in Mirat. The attackers demand that Kasim be turned over to them. Before his fellow passengers can react, Kasim voluntarily leaves the train car and surrenders himself to the attackers, who murder him. Perron, Sarah and the other English passengers are unharmed, but are traumatized by the bloodshed they have seen.
As one of his last acts before leaving India, Guy Perron goes to visit Hari Kumar, now living in a poor neighborhood and eking out a living tutoring Indian students in English. Hari is out when Perron shows up, so Perron leaves his card, reflecting on how little he and other Englishmen are able to do to help this young man who was placed in an impossible position, between England and India, through no fault of his own.
The story line of the television series largely follows that of the novels although, unlike the novels, in the TV series events unfold in roughly chronological order.[1] (In the novel, Hari Kumar does not appear, except in brief vignettes, until more than halfway through The Jewel in the Crown.) More detailed descriptions of the plots are available on the individual pages of the novels:

- The Day of the Scorpion
- The Towers of Silence
- A Division of the Spoils

Production and reviews[edit]
The series made stars of Art Malik and Charles Dance. Other leading actors included Peggy Ashcroft (who won the BAFTA Best TV Actress award for her performance), Tim Pigott-Smith, Geraldine James, Judy Parfitt, Rachel Kempson, Eric Porter, Susan Wooldridge, Zohra Sehgal, Saeed Jaffrey, and Karan Kapoor (son of Shashi Kapoor and Jennifer Kendal). The complexities of the plot ensured that no one character was at the centre of the action throughout. All four "Best TV Actress" nominations at that year's BAFTAs went to stars of the series, with Ashcroft winning over Wooldridge, James and Parfitt. Pigott-Smith won Best TV Actor.
It was shot on 16mm film, much of it on location in India. All filming not from India was filmed at Manchester's Granada Studios. The programme was often screened from grainy prints, but was fully remastered for its 2005 DVD release and ITV3 screening, resulting in much better picture quality.
The series is often mentioned in the same breath as Brideshead Revisited.[citation needed] In a list of the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes drawn up by the British Film Institute in 2000, voted for by industry professionals, The Jewel in the Crown was placed 22nd.

Broader context[edit]
According to the Museum of Broadcast Communications there was "a cycle of film and television productions which emerged during the first half of the 1980s, which seemed to indicate Britain's growing preoccupation with India, Empire and a particular aspect of British cultural history" [1]. In addition to The Jewel in the Crown, this cycle also included Gandhi (1982), Heat and Dust (1983), The Far Pavilions (1984) and A Passage to India (1984). The trend was spoofed on The Lenny Henry Show in the mid-1980s with a mock serial called The Jewel in India's Passage.
Mini-series co-star Charles Dance has commented how it has a devout following to this day. "I think that aired here in 1983, and there are people still to this day who assemble in each other's houses and have Jewel In The Crown weekends and watch all 14 hours, mostly in America," he told Attention Deficit Delirium. "I have people stopping me in the street now saying that they watched Jewel In The Crown again a couple of months ago, and I think, 'Bloody hell, did you really?' So I'm known to that generation for a completely different type of work. The current film and television viewing audience is much younger, and the kind of things that I'm known for are these rather off-the-wall, slightly villainous characters in fantastical film and television things, but that's okay. It's better to be looked over than to be overlooked in my business." [2]

What causes oranges to be dry?
I have several orange trees and all of them produced some fruit that is dry. Some trees had all of their fruit dry inside. This is only my second fruit season in this house, having moved in last fall. Last fall the fruit was fine.
We did not have a drought this summer and I water regularly. Additional consideration is:
My "soil" is pretty much non existant. I live in SW Florida and all I have is sand.
My well water is very alkaline. Sometimes tree branches that get hit directly by a sprinkler die.
I fertilize regularly. I wonder if this is the problem. Someone once told me not to fertilize in the fall because it would dry the fruit out. This same person gave me other bad advice, so I don't know what all to believe.
So the questions are: What causes orange and tangerine trees to produce dry fruit?
If it is fertilizer, when should I fertilize?
Thanks for any help.
Several factors can be involved:
1. variety. Navel oranges are more likely to do this than are round oranges. Some tangerines are also worse than others.
2. age. Young trees are far more likely to do it than are older trees. In the case of Navels, they nearly always make some dry fruit for the first 5 years or so.
3. rootstock. The more vigorous the rootstock is, the more likely the tree will be to make dry fruit.
4. water and fertilizer. Efforts to "push" the tree to extra growth with an abundance of water and fertilizer will exacerbate the problem.
5. leaving the fruit on the tree well after it reaches maturity.
When combined, each of these factors makes the others worse.
Thank you.
I think number 4 is the main cause. I applied a lot of fertilizer and water while the fruit was developing.
So is the answer to not fertilize during the last stages of fruit development, or to just lightly fertilize during the year?
Any additional guidance in this area is appreciated. Thank you very much for the reply.
i live in houston, tx. i have an orange tree that has huge oranges with thick peel but they are all dry. it has had oranges approx. 2 years but all dry. my lemon trees have beautiful fruit.
can you advise me what can be done to get better oranges.
thanking you
We recently purchased a property which has was at one point was an orange grove and we have lots of orange trees but the fruit is all bad. The peel is thick and lumpy and some of the fruit is dry inside while others are bitter or sour. A neighbor stated that none of that fruit is good because the trees all died out at one point but the root is what grew. She named what that is called but we cannot recall. At any rate we would like to know if it is possible to graft those trees or save them by any other means.

This Lent, let us go forth into the desert with Christ, where, along with him, we deny ourselves out of love. Let us prove to God we love him above all else.
GLADE PARK, CO (Catholic Online) - During the solemn forty days of Lent the Church unites herself to "the mystery of Jesus in the desert," where Christ, led by the spirit to be tempted by the devil, fasted for forty days (Mt 4:1-11). The penitential aspect of the Lenten season is "particularly appropriate" for various spiritual exercises, including voluntary self-denial such as fasting and almsgiving (See CCC Nos. 540, 1438).
Yet we live in an age in which the above words in reference to the teaching of our holy Catholic Church are nearly entirely foreign to the modern mind; an age in which voluntary self-denial is not only far removed from thought but a practice looked upon as an "antiquated silliness" that ought be crushed; an age in which secularist "wisdom" holds self-denial�s opposite, self-gratification, as a type of false "virtue." There are numerous examples we could cite. Let it suffice to say that the important physical and spiritual benefits of self-denial are often either forgotten or ignored.
This situation is particularly unfortunate; for we also live in an age in which there is an immense hunger for God. Yet what so often goes unrealized is the importance of combating this strong tendency we have toward enslavement by the senses; that is, the overemphasis placed upon feeding the many desires of our material body, our flesh and blood, is rarely seen for the danger that it is - often to the detriment of our spiritual soul.
Frank Sheed wote that man is often forgetful of the fact that he is both body and spirit: he belongs essentially to both these realities, those of the world of matter and the world of spirit. "In both worlds [man] has the closest and most vital contacts: it is a pity that he is so much more keenly aware of the lower one, and so sketchily and intermittently aware of the upper, for both are realities, and realities that affect him profoundly" (Theology and Sanity, p. 163). Over-emphasis of the flesh and de-emphasis of the spirit is a grave mistake.
The Doctor of Prayer, St. Teresa of Avila, observes that we often fail to understand ourselves: "It is no small pity, and would cause us no little shame, that, through our own fault, we do not understand ourselves, or know who we are. Would it not be a sign of great ignorance, . . . if a person were asked who he was, and could not say, . . . though that is great stupidity, our own is incomparably greater if we make no attempt to discover what we are, and only know that we are living in these bodies, and have a vague idea, because we have heard it and because our Faith tells us so, that we possess souls. . . . All our interest is centered in the rough setting of the diamond, and the outer wall of the castle - that is to say, in these bodies of ours" (Interior Castle, p. 4).
Our Lord Jesus Christ�s life presents us with countless examples of self-denial. We can be certain that at Nazareth he, along with his Mother and Joseph, lived a quiet, ascetic life of simplicity and prayer; a life which was intently focused on the spiritual, on the love of God. As mentioned above, Christ went into the desert to fast and pray - an act of self-denial - in order that he would become not only hungry but be severely tempted. After leaving the desert, Jesus "returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit" (Lk 4:14) where he taught in the synagogues. Luke seems to imply that Jesus was strengthened by his actions of self-denial. And, in the ultimate act of self-denial, our Savior gives his life on the Cross for the love of men, many of whom mistreated him and uttered hateful words against him.
But why is self-denial so important for us? For the simple fact that we do not get closer to God by living as materialists whose lives are spent seeking pleasure, comfort and ease, while our immortal soul, which will live on into eternity, is starved. Second, due to the fact that the flesh is weak, it is easy to fall into sin; therefore the body must be forced to subject itself to the spirit. The flesh must be trained, subdued in order that the intellect and the will are able to rule over it more easily.
St. Paul tells us that "the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you would" (Gal 5:17). And Christ warns his disciples in Gethsemane that "the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." (Mt 26:41).
The spirit must exercise self-control over the body: "Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. Well, I do not run aimlessly, I do not box as one beating the air; but I pommel my body and subdue it, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified" (1 Cor 9:25-27).
One critical aspect of self-denial is almsgiving. Note that while wealthy people were putting their offerings into the treasury, our Savior "noticed a poor widow putting in two small coins." He brought this to the attention of his disciples, saying, "I tell you truly, this poor widow put in more than all the rest; for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood" (Lk 21:1-4). It is certain that our Master notices when we deny ourselves of some convenience or entertainment and instead give those funds we would have otherwise used for our own pleasure to the poor.
Another element of self-denial is self-sacrifice; for there can be no true denial of self apart from sacrifice. We are not, of course, speaking of the type of sacrifice which seriously injures, rather we are speaking of those sacrifices we make which show God we cherish him as the greatest and highest Good - those fragrant flowers which pass from our acts of selflessness into the heavens where they are gathered by angels� hands, made into wreaths for our loving Savior who willingly poured his blood upon the Cross for our sake, and preserved in order that we may one day clearly see the full splendor of every good deed.
There is a great and unexplainable immenseness in the mystery of sacrifice. Who can plumb the depths of the sacrificial sorrow our Blessed Mother contained within her pure heart has she stood in docile quietness before the foot of the bloodied Cross? And who can comprehend the full dimension of Christ�s sacrifice of eternal, infinite worth? We may contemplate these things until the Sun passes across the furthest reaches of the sky, yet they will, for now, remain a mystery. Nevertheless, it is certain that every sacrifice we make for love of God becomes a fragrant rose of eternal sweetness which our Lord gathers in his own glorified, loving hands.
St. Teresa, on the day she took the habit at the Convent of the Incarnation outside the walls of Avila, wrote of the wondrous kiss of love Christ presented to her as a result of her willing self-sacrifice: "When I took the habit the Lord immediately showed me how He favours those who do violence to themselves in order to serve Him. No one saw what I endured, . . . At the moment of my entrance into this new state I felt a joy so great that it has never failed me even to this day; and God converted the dryness of my soul into a very great tenderness" (Interior Castle, p. 33).
This Lent, let us go forth into the desert with Christ, where, along with him, we deny ourselves out of love. Let us prove to God we love him above all else. Let us engage in acts of voluntary self-denial, training our body, nourishing our spirit that, in prayer, we may begin to truly see the unfathomable value and riches of giving ourselves entirely over to God. It is about cultivating a love for Love. It is about, as our Savior showed us, commending our spirit unto God. For then, when at Easter we celebrate Christ�s resurrection on the third day, we may enter more fully into that wondrous plan of salvation our Savior himself has given us with such great sacrificial love.

Thank you for writing this lines. Only if we love we sacrifice,not only willingly but specially lovingly and with outmost passion. Jesus loved, loves and forever will love us. His eternal sacrifice for us is the prove.

The Church can't have it both ways. Either "self denial" practices, which include, not eating meat during Lent is a "voluntary sacrifice" to better one's self or it is not. According to EWTN's website on this subject, it is an "obligation" and "sinful" if one does not adhere to this "discipline."
Well... isn't the whole idea of "discipline" to train yourself in a POSITIVE, healthy manner and not under a coercive environment, or in this case, a penalty under Church law for heaven sake!?

Fasting & Abstinence
'Christ Himself said that His disciples would fast once He had departed' Lk. 5:35
Abstinence. The law of abstinence requires a Catholic 14 years of age until death to abstain from eating meat on Fridays in honor of the Passion of Jesus on Good Friday. Salt and freshwater species of fish, amphibians, reptiles and shellfish are permitted.
Fasting. The law of fasting requires a Catholic from the 18th Birthday (Canon 97) to the 59th Birthday (i.e. the beginning of the 60th year, a year which will be completed on the 60th birthday) to reduce the amount of food eaten from normal. The Church defines this as one meal a day, and two smaller meals which if added together would not exceed the main meal.

The thread which runs through my work is made of an in depth study of the photographic language and process. The actual ideas I'm interested in exploring change over time, but my work keeps returning to themes based around a fascination with specific social and cultural milieus, the way technology affects us and our communication with each other, and the way we interact with photographs as historic objects.
My work is made up of distinct series. I research and develop specific ideas which I am interested in exploring as a body of work. I then adopt a technique and process which will support, expand and reference the theme I am working on. As a lover of the hands on photographic process, along with my strong interest in the meanings imbedded in photographs on their own, I always think about my work in a metanarrative context, photographs about photography.
An inspiring interview with the creator of this series, which appropriates anonymous found negatives in a unique manner to create thought-provoking new art works.

Special blend of Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, Vitamin C and Hyraluronic Acid. Studies are showing more and more of the effects these nutrients have on maintaining healthy joints. Vitamin C to help in maximum absorption.
Please read all label information carefully on delivery and prior to use.
This product works great at relieving joint pain and discomfort.
I'm young but still have bad joint problems from a birth defect. Out of all the things I have tried (including some FAR more expensive ones that were supposed to work better) this easily outshines them all. I try to take the recommended dose daily and definitely notice some pain when I forget to take it for 2 days or so. It's great, and for the price, it can't be beat!
I started with half dose (2 capsules) but needed to go to 3 per day. I have noticed I am much less stiff in the morning. I am very pleased. I have purchased many Glucosamine products to no avail. This is the first one that I have seen my symptoms improved.
Everything went very well, I received the product in a couple of days after the order, thank you, I would purchase from you again,
I have been using this product for 1 month and noticed a significant change in my knee joint pain. I also notice a difference in the texture of my skin, it is now softer and not as dry and flaky.

This is why wise people back systems up
by wpgwpg - 2/2/13 3:12 PM
In Reply to: BOOTMGR is missing. vista preinstalled on computer. by fireblade42
I take it you have no backup? If you press F8 during bootup, do you get the advanced boot menu? If so, there're commands you can enter to recover.
When you've gotten your system back like you want it, I urge you to get yourself an external hard drive and a good 3rd party backup program. You can set it up to do everything automagically at the time and frequency of your choice. 1 TB external hard drives are about $70 these days and a really good FREE backup program is the Easeus todo backup free which you can download from
http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . That can save you a lot of time and frustration the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later it happens to all computers for one reason or another.
Good luck.

at Fairness in Procurement (FPA)
About Me
My peers consider me an influential advocate and opinion molder in matters involving public procurement participation by minority, women and and veteran-owned businesses. I serve as the Commissioner for the Fairness in Procurement (FPA) and as Managing Partner for the Umbrella Initiative, whose mission is "to double the number of disadvantaged businesses (DBE) contracting with the local, state and federal government by the year 2020." My peers have recognized my contributions by selecting me, as "One of the Nation's Top Diversity Champion" for my work in founding FPA, establishing an academic Think Tank, conceiving the Umbrella Initiative and convincing the US Office of Advocacy to eliminate the FAR Exemptions, a move which will free up between $20 and $64 Billions in contracts for the small business statutory reservation. The Umbrella Initiative; the Contracting Abuse Resolution Board (CARB) and Free Universal Access (FUA), have been small business initiatives which I have helped create. I serve on the Board of the National Federal Contractor Association (NaFCA) and am an Adviser on procurement matters - to the Minority Business Round Table (www.MBRT.net); the Florida Minority Community Reinvestment Coalition (www.FMCRC.org); and MBELDEF (www.MBELDEF.org). My entrepreneurial passion, described by Dr. Peter Druker, as monomaniacal, was influenced by my personal relationships with both my past employers and mentors which included a Rockefeller (David) and three U.S. Presidents. My educational degrees come from Texas Christian University, The University of Texas and NYU Management Institute. I have traveled extensively throughout the world and have maintained loyal relationships with my schoolmates going back to high school. I have started several small business ventures and have invented and brought to market numerous innovative products and concepts. Competitive sports have played an important role in shaping my 'team approach' to solving conflicts. I still continue to play competitively, but this time is tennis. The documents I am herewith sharing in this venue are valuable advocacy instruments. Some are White Papers - with legal references - citing the statutes of public laws. Others are OP-EDs and viewpoints to help bring change and affect public policies. Feel free to view and to share these documents with your colleagues. It's one way in which I can help you make a difference.

Eric Andresen.
The Boy Scouts of America is scheduled to decide on May 24, 2013 whether to alter its long-standing ban on gay scouts and leaders. The proposal to be put before the roughly 1400 voting members of the BSA National Council would allow the participation of gay scouts, but not gay adult leaders. On the eve of this debate, the father of bullied gay scout Ryan Andresen has spoken out in a video made by Equality California.
Ryan Andresen came to national attention in October 2012, when it was revealed that he had been denied an Eagle Scout pin because he is gay. Despite having completed all the requirements for the award, leaders of Andresen's Boy Scout troop refused to grant him the Eagle Scout award.
In protest, Andresen's father resigned as assistant Scoutmaster of his son's troop and his mother launched a change.org petition asking that the Boy Scouts of America's discriminatory policy be changed and that her son be given the award that he earned. The petition received almost 500,000 signatures.
From his appearances on television news shows and on the Ellen Show, it became apparent that Ryan Andresen is an articulate and self-confident young man committed to making change in the world.
However, he was not always like that. In fact, as a profile by Peter Crooks in the San Francisco East Bay magazine Diablo aptly entitled "Excluded" revealed, he is a survivor of egregious bullying.
When he was a fifth-grader, Andresen joined Boy Scout Troop 212, which is sponsored by the Moraga Valley Presbyterian Church. Soon after joining, he was tormented at the troop's annual summer camp week. In a particularly cruel hazing ritual, called Name Night, the scouts smeared "faggot" in charcoal on his sweatshirt and made him wear it.
When he finally told his parents about the incident, they were suitably horrified, but the bullying continued not only at Moraga Valley Presbyterian Church, but also at his middle school. By the time he entered high school, Andresen felt like an outcast. He ultimately transferred to a private school in Berkeley, where he has thrived.
Although he wanted to give up scouting, Andresen decided to use it as a means of responding to the bullying he had experienced. Thus, he chose as his Eagle Scout project building a "tolerance wall" at the very middle school at which his life was made so miserable by bullies.
Andresen's parents have been admirably supportive of their son. Thus, it comes as no surprise that Eric Andresen has spoken out against the bullying and discrimination experienced by Ryan.
In a video made for Equality California, Eric Andresen not only explains the pain his family has endured as a result of the Boy Scouts' treatment of his son, but he also endorses the Youth Equality Act now pending in the California legislature. This bill would require that nonprofit youth organizations that receive special state tax privileges comply with California's nondiscrimination laws. Specifically, the bill revokes the special tax status awarded to nonprofit youth organizations like the Boy Scouts should they violate California's nondiscrimination laws.
