Even savvy investors can fall for scamsThe profile for investors who get swindled by fraudulent enterprises like the film Birth of Innocence arent gullible or new to investing, and they certainly arent dumb, according to the head of a college program devoted to financial literacy.
The average demographic trend that Ive seen is males age 55 to 65 who are financially literate and college educated, who have had a recent change in their financial or physical situation, said John Pelletier, director of the Center for Financial Literacy at Champlain College in Burlington.
Theyre not unintelligent or unfamiliar with the financial world, he said. Usually, theyve suffered some sort of financial setback and theyre willing to double down to try to make up the loss.
Not all of the nearly 700 investors who gave money to Malcolm Mac Parker for the Innocence film venture match that description, but Robert Melik Finkle certainly does.
The retired Rochester architect told a federal judge last week at Parkers criminal sentencing that he wasnt earning enough on his bank certificates of deposit in 2002 when he was approached by the well-known Addison County storyteller and performer.
In exchange for a promised 15 percent rate of return, Finkle invested everything his $345,000 life savings.
Now, at 77 Im barely subsisting on Social Security and welfare, he said before Parker was sentenced to 4½ years in jail on convictions of conspiracy to defraud and filing fraudulent tax returns. I trusted Mac Parker, and Parker in his greed took advantage of that trust.
Finkle was far from the only intelligent person to speak at the hearing last week.
A physical therapist, an 80-year-old dairy farmer and a motel owner who gave Parker the proceeds of the sale of his rubbish-removal company were among those who addressed the court.
They each told a story of trust in Parker, whose honest reputation was proof enough for many and an opportunity as the filmmaker promised rates of return that would eventually exceed 30 percent.
The scam perpetuated by Parker and his silent partner, Louis Soteriou, may be unique in its purported interest to deliver to the world a film of such spiritual purity that all who saw it would be touched and the world changed forever by its message.
But the Ponzi-scheme mechanism used to cheat investors is an all-too-common means of deception, Pelletier said.
While sophisticated schemes like the $50 billion fraud orchestrated by former NASDAQ chairman Bernard Madoff might be difficult to detect, many dubious ventures can be exposed by a simple phone call or search of the state Department of Financial Regulation website.
Both Pelletier and Thomas Candon, deputy commissioner of the DFR securities division, agree that the first step prospective investors should take when considering a venture is to investigate the seller.
By law, broker-dealers and some investment advisors must be registered in Vermont to do business here. Prospective investors can learn whether a seller is registered or has a history of violations or complaints by visiting the DFR securities page at www.dfr.vermont.gov/securities/home or by calling the division toll free at 877-550-3907.
Candons division also encourages investors to educate themselves about a company or individual by doing independent research, including a review of the sellers prospectus or offering circular, and the companys financial statement.
But one of the primary things investors can do and sometimes the hardest is ask themselves if an investment opportunity is too good to be true.
During his career prior to coming to Champlain College, Pelletier worked as the chief operating officer of a financial management firm that oversaw $80 billion in assets.
He said he knew many highly successful brokers, but added that not one of them could deliver on the promises made by the majority of charlatans who try to bilk investors by luring them into get-rich-quick schemes like Birth of Innocence.
When someone tells you they havent had a down year in 10 years, theyre lying, Pelletier said. Whenever someone shows you an investment that cant lose money, theyre referring to something unlike any investment Ive ever seen in my life.
Along with the promise of a high return, fraudulent sellers usually demand a quick decision by investors, Pelletier and Candon said.
Whenever someone bangs on you wanting an answer now, or if theyre getting offended that youre looking into them, that should be a red flag, Pelletier said.
Candons division has been trying to help financial investors recognize red flags and make wise financial decisions in general by holding Investor Education talks statewide at functions ranging from Rotary meetings to senior citizens events.
It was at one of those educational talks that the first step in unraveling the 10-year Innocence scam took place.
At the end of one of the financial talks in 2009, Candon said a member of his office was approached about a filmmaker named Mac Parker who had been approaching a large number of investors.
The deputy commissioner said that revelation led investigators to follow up, first by learning that Parker was soliciting funds without being registered with the state. A first meeting with the filmmaker in October 2009 was followed months later by a federal investigation.
It works both ways, Candon said. We try to educate investors and sometimes we learn something very important from the people we meet who have questions about investment offers theyve seen.

Both are committing horrendous crimes and if anything it is not a case of "better than thou" as much as "viler than thou"!

Greetings, my friends. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives, and remember, my friends, future events such as these will affect you in the future.
Criswell, Plan 9 From Outer Space
I posted something the other day about a couple of old science-fiction movies set in the year 2013. Escape from L.A. (1996) was about a guy escaping from a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, I think, while The Postman (1997) was about a lone letter carrier who delivers hope in a post-apocolyptic world, one letter at a time, or something. (I never saw either of them.)
That got me thinking:
We really are living in a world that would have seemed like science-fiction a generation ago.
Smartphones. Skype. GPS. Kindles. If someone had told you 20 years ago that you could stream movies onto a 50-inch, crystal-clear TV screen hanging flat against the wall for less than the cost of a movie ticket, you wouldn't have believed them.
Heck, even the idea of a blog would have seemed crazy a generation ago. Seriously, you mean anyone can write anything they want, and people all over the planet can read it instantly and talk to you about it?
What's funny is that none of this feels like "the future."
It turns out that the future sneaks up on you and is a lot less snazzy than I thought it would be when I was a kid.
We don't all wear matching jumpsuits or have hover cars or work on the moon. We can buy turtle-sized robots to vacuum the carpet, but we still can't buy jet packs, and I don't know anyone who owns a laser gun, although a few have laser pointers, for some reason.
We can put a man on the moon, but we don't want to. We can pull in 500 cable channels, but mostly it's just "reality" shows about silly people with daddy issues and persistent low-grade fevers (I'm guessing) doing stupid things so people will look at them.
We haven't found a cure for cancer, but you can't watch a ballgame without seeing a dozen adds for drugs to treat erectile dysfunction.
I don't know. I guess I'm OK with the future not being what it was supposed to be. Things could be better, but they could be a lot worse, and, besides, if you think it through, hover cars would probably just scoot around as freely as a puck on an air-hockey table. I think we're probably better off without them.

A variation of the donkey punch. It is performed in much the same manner as a donkey punch except instead of delivering a punch at the appropriate time, you go upstairs to the floor above the said receiver and crash through the floor onto their back, preferably breaking it. It's most often performed while wearing a suit of armor.

Minor set for '14 debut as Braves welcome Giants
Lincecum looks to lead Giants to seventh victory in eight games
After a successful bullpen session on Tuesday afternoon, Braves left-hander Mike Minor will make his long-awaited season debut on Friday against the Giants. He joins what has been one of the best rotations in the Majors, as Atlanta returns home from a brief trip to Miami.
"We just wanted to make sure [Minor] is healthy and that he feels good," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said Tuesday. "You always want to err on that side. He looks good. So we'll pencil him in there for Friday."
Minor, whose return relegates David Hale to a bullpen role, could have returned to the club last week, but the Braves opted for Minor to make one more rehab start with Double-A Mississippi. He threw 81 pitches in seven innings.
"I feel good. They just wanted to make sure I made all of my preparations," Minor said.
Although Minor felt good following his rehab outing, the four home runs he surrendered on a windy night in Pensacola raised some concerns. Facing the Giants, who rank third in the Majors with 33 homers, will prove if those concerns are warranted.
No current Giants have homered against Minor, but Michael Morse and Buster Posey, whose six homers are tied with the Braves' Freddie Freeman, are one behind Atlanta's Evan Gattis and two behind the National League leaders. Morse is batting .444 (4-for-9) and Posey owns a .500 (4-for-8) career clip against Minor.
Morse has hit safely in seven of his past eight games, and Posey has steadily raised his batting average from .219 to .264 with a five-game hitting streak that has seen him bat .444 (8-for-18) as the Giants have won four of those five contests and six of their last seven.
San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy likes what he has seen from his entire lineup as of late and is confident that struggles that saw the Giants score just 15 runs in seven games from April 15-22 are behind them.
"I think we are closer to who we are now then from the stretch we had trouble scoring runs," Bochy said. "We're getting timely hitting and doing the little things right, grinding out at bats a little harder. We're getting better at-bats with runners on base. The first month you're trying to get a feel where you're at. I like where we are."
Tim Lincecum will oppose Minor on the mound for the Giants.
Giants: Hudson to miss former team
Right-hander Tim Hudson will not face his former club this weekend. Hudson, who went 8 2/3 innings to improve to 4-1 on Wednesday, owns a 2.17 ERA in six quality starts this season.
His six consecutive starts of seven innings or more match the longest such streak by a Giants pitcher since Livan Hernandez in 2002. His ERA is his third best in April after recording a 1.40 ERA in April 2007 and a 1.87 ERA in April 2002.
Hudson won 113 games in nine seasons with Atlanta before signing a two-year $23 million deal with San Francisco in November. He made 21 starts with the Braves in 2013 before suffering a season-ending right ankle fracture on June 24 at Citi Field.
"It's been a nice start to the season for me," Hudson said. "It's going to be nice getting back to Atlanta, just seeing some friends or friendly. Whether I had a great first month or not a great first month, it's going to be nice to get back there and see some familiar faces."
• Matt Cain, who was scratched with a cut finger on Tuesday, is expected to take his next turn in the rotation on Monday in Pittsburgh.
• Lincecum has performed better on the road than at home this season, but that is not saying much. The right-hander is 1-0 with a 5.25 ERA in two starts away from home compared to his 0-1 record and 6.59 ERA in three starts in San Francisco.
Lincecum struggled with inconsistent mechanics in his most recent start, throwing 98 pitches in only 4 2/3 innings. He has recorded only one quality start in five outings this year, continuing a slide that began in 2012.
From 2007-11, Lincecum recorded 113 quality starts in 155 outings, a rate of 73 percent. Since the start of the 2012 season, Lincecum has recorded 29 quality starts in 70 outings for a rate of 41 percent.
Braves: Floyd to throw bullpen session Friday
Starting pitcher Gavin Floyd will throw a bullpen session on Friday and is expected to be activated from the disabled list sometime this weekend. Come Friday, Floyd's rehabilitation will hit the 30-day maximum for a pitcher.
"When he's ready to go, we'll put him in here some place," Gonzalez said. "Plug him in."
Floyd, who underwent Tommy John surgery last May, made his final rehab start on April 29, throwing 77 pitches in five innings for Triple-A Gwinnett in Toledo, Ohio. He gave up one run on four hits, walked one and struck out five.
Worth noting
• Justin Upton is batting .224 (11-for-49) with four doubles, a triple, four RBIs, five walks and 17 strikeouts against Lincecum. Fellow Braves outfielder Jason Heyward is batting .286 (4-for-14) with a double, five walks and four strikeouts against Lincecum.
• The Giants are 6-6 on the road this season and have lost five of their past seven games away from home.
• The Braves are 9-3 at home this season, including a 5-1 record during their most recent homestand at Turner Field.

Arroyo, Bumgarner set for Game 2 clash in NLDS
The Reds have 18 players on their 25-man Division Series roster, including 13 who were with the club during its 2010 defeat at the hands of the Phillies. Five others, including starting left fielder Ryan Ludwick and setup man Jonathan Broxton, have played in the postseason elsewhere. "It's a different team. It's a more mature team," manager Dusty Baker said. They certainly have enough mentors around. The Reds' coaching staff has had 207 games of experience as players, managers and coaches. Ryan Hanigan and Joey Votto are the only Reds with homers off Bumgarner on their resume. The Reds have a combined .170 batting average against the young lefty. When Brandon Phillips and Jay Bruce hit homers Saturday, it wasn't he first time they'd both gone long in a postseason game. They both hit homers in Game 2 of the 2010 NLDS, solo shots that helped them to a 4-0 lead. They lost, 7-4. Giants: Sandoval already ahead of 2010
Two years earlier, Pablo Sandoval was lost, knocked from the Giants' starting lineup in the postseason. But with a single and another hard liner caught for an out in Game 1, Sandoval showed that he's in a much better place in October 2012. He already has matched his Division Series hits total from 2010. "There's a great difference," Sandoval said after the Giants finished their workout at AT&T Park. "I'm going to have more action out there. I'm not going to put pressure on [myself], or try to do too much. 2010 was a tough deal for me. But it's past." Aubrey Huff, who was instrumental in the Giants' 2010 run, was kept on the roster as a veteran bat off the bench. He saw his first action pinch-hitting for starter Matt Cain in the fifth, lofting a flyout to center. Four members of the Giants' starting lineup made their postseason debuts Saturday -- first baseman Brandon Belt, shortstop Brandon Crawford, center fielder Angel Pagan and left fielder Gregor Blanco. Among them, Pagan waited the longest for his first postseason at-bat, having played 695 games in the regular season. He went 1-for-5 with a single in his debut. Reliever George Kontos also pitched in October for the first time. Worth noting
The Giants won each of their Game 1 matchups en route to the 2010 World Series, but went off that track Saturday night. The Reds stopped a trend of their own, winning their first postseason game of any kind since sweeping the 1995 NLDS vs. the Dodgers. Monday will be a travel day for the series, with the two teams arriving early in the morning following the West Coast night start Sunday. They'll meet for Tuesday's Game 3 at 5:30 p.m. ET.

I like the talking filibuster if only to force Senators to lift a finger when blocking debate on a bill rather than just do nothing. That said, as maddening as the current Senate inaction is, I'm not so certain moving towards a House-like tyranny of the majority will necessarily improve governance (c.f. U.S. House of Representatives, 113th Congress, 1st session). The Senate should mull over legislation rather than hastily passing bill after bill (which may or may not ever go to conference). The Senate is meant to be a more consultative body (though recently it's become less a place where there's "proceeding with more coolness" and just as likely to face "the fury of democracy").
Executive appointments do seem to be one area where the President should have more freedom to force through action, even if said action would do harm to the United States. I just don't know how you'd go and set a lower bar for cloture for executive appointments without setting a path to doing the same for judicial appointments and legislation. Right now, I'm just hoping American voters would stop seeing compromise as treachery and more as we see it in real life: a way of getting work done.
I think the senators should be compelled to talk though. Fine, have debate. That is a lot better than allowing the filibuster to mutate into an informal, ubiquitous veto on all policy or a club of 100.

Hun (Japanese: バショウ Bashō) is a member of Team Rocket. He appeared along with Attila in The Legend of Thunder!.
Hun and Attila are both quite calm in everything they do, from operating on missions to even retreating. Hun is the dominant partner and seems to only act when necessary.
Hun and Attila both seem somewhat set in their rank, and approach missions casually. They seem to keep their cool even when they lose; in these situations, they calmly retreat. Despite physical stereotypes, Hun is the dominant partner, telling Attila to do things that he could actually do himself. Attila doesn't object or show any signs of aggravation over this role, however.

Palo Pinto County, TX
[A Charter for the Interurban Road and Street Car Line]
Date: unknown
Creator: unknown
Description: The Mineral Wells Electric System operated two electric street cars in the city of Mineral Wells from 1907 to 1913; one on Hubbard Streeet from NE 17th Avenue to SW 6th Avenue (later part of the Bankhead Highway), and one on Oak Avenue from NE 17th Street to SE 11th Street, thence Southwest to Elmhurst Park. However, two gasoline-powered 70 passenger (all-passenger) motor cars were operated by the Weatherford, Mineral Wells and Northwestern Railroad (WMW&NW) between Graford, Mineral Wells, Ft. Worth and Dallas from 1912 to 1935. An electric interurban line was not built. The second part of this notice--the Army-Navy Sanitarium--was never approved by Congress.

Of course 12.10 is too late. Hopefully they will have something working by the time of 13.04.
Phoronix: Ubuntu Still Aims For Wayland System Compositor
While there's still more than one month until the Ubuntu 12.10 feature freeze, Canonical/Ubuntu developers continue to work towards their concept of having Wayland serve as a system compositor for this next Ubuntu Linux release due out in October, but will they make it?..
Of course 12.10 is too late. Hopefully they will have something working by the time of 13.04.
I get the sinking feeling that this is going to be PulseAudio all over again.
I doubt they will be able to deliver something like that for 12.10. 13.04 maybe 13.10 more like it.
What i am most curious about is how they will manage to pull the whole seamless boot thing.
I have little confidence in Canonical's ability to deliver. With Unity I went from a smooth desktop to a cluster-f (and I don't mean the actual look and feel, I mean tearing, performance problems, graphics corruptions, crashes, shit-that-just-plain-don't-work, etc.). I can't wait to see what we're going to get when they throw this XWayland into the mix.
Because if there's one thing we need, it's one more layer of disaster that every app has to wade through.
Here's how their seamless boot works in 12.04.
After bios, black screen for 5s.
Plymouth splash shows itself for 0.7s.
LightDM login screen.
I'm no UI designer, but something about that black/plymouth time ratio seems off
Being skeptical of engineering timelines is one thing, but it sounds like you guys just want Canonical to fail.
I noticed the Wayland mailing list stagnated a lot.
For a long time there were like 10-30 messages a day, now it's between 1-10 a day, or none, even during non-weekends. Are they preparing some major release behind the scene or gone on vacation..?
That's what I see too. In the grand scheme of things, I don't worry about boot display. All I care about is that when booting is done, I am looking at a working desktop or login screen. I don't reboot often enough to care what it looks like.
Seems pretty brave to hope for 12.10. Would probably help make 13.04 better though.

Multiphysics Approach to Model Solidification during Enamelling
F. Van den Abeele, and P. GoesArcelorMittal Research and Development, Ghent, Belgium
When an enamelled steel part is cooled down after firing, residual stresses are induced due to the difference in thermal dilatation between the enamel and the steel grade. At room temperature, the steel substrate is under tensile stress state, while the enamel is under compression.
The thermal stress distribution can be measured with a Klotz test device. Here, a cantilever steel/enamel sample is heated by an electric current, and the deflection of the specimen is plotted versus temperature.
COMSOL Multiphysics provides unique functionalities to perform coupled simulations that allow for validation of our thermo-mechanical models.
First, we calculate the electric current in the sample by means of the conductive media module. Then, the corresponding temperature distribution is obtained through a conductive heat transfer analysis. At the end, solutions for stresses and displacements are derived after a structural mechanics simulation.

Typically, as with the vintage line, I have Skeletor riding him, but as I did back when I was a kid, I often have Evil-Lyn also riding on the rear section, mirroring how Teela sometimes did with Battle Cat and He-Man.
Saying that, currently I have BA Skeletor atop Panthor. I'm a big "original design" fan, but Skeletor's Battle Armor looks just so darned cool!

ANTARCTICA - Exercise normal security precautions
There is no nationwide advisory in effect for Antarctica. Exercise normal security precautions.
The decision to travel is your responsibility. You are also responsible for your personal safety abroad. The purpose of this Travel Advice is to provide up-to-date information to enable you to make well-informed decisions.
There are no telephone or other communication services in Antarctica. Satellite telephone and postal facilities exist only at established research stations. It would be very difficult to obtain outside assistance in the event of an emergency.
Research stations and scientific expeditions are fully dedicated to scientific research and, with rare exceptions, have no capacity to provide support of any kind to tourists or casual travellers. Independent travellers must be fully self-sufficient from the time that they leave the departure country until their return.
Other than a privately run base on the interior ice that caters to mountaineering-type expeditions, there are no tourist facilities on land. Various tourism companies can arrange excursions to the continent. The International Association of Antarctic Tour Operators (IAATO) publishes a list of its members, which is available at:
IAATO Secretariat
11 South Angell Street, Box 302, Providence, RI 02906, U.S.A.
Tel.: 401-272-2152
Fax: 401 272 2154
Email: email@example.com
Website: www.iaato.org
Any travel that is not part of an international scientific expedition or organized through a recognized tour operator is strongly discouraged because of its potential harmful impact on the environment and the lack of emergency facilities.
Entry/exit requirements
Entry/exit requirements
A Canadian passport may be required for travel through the country or countries that you transit en route to and from Antarctica. Please refer to the separate Travel Advice for those countries.
You may need a visa for the country or countries you transit as you travel en route to and from Antarctica. Please refer to the separate Travel Advice for those countries for information on visa requirements.
Travellers on Canadian expeditions, Canadian vessels and those operating Canadian aircraft need a permit to be in the Antarctic, except when granted permission from another party to the Madrid Protocol or in the case of an emergency. There is no fee associated with processing a permit to travel to the Antarctic.
Detailed information about permit applications and application forms are available from Environment Canada's Environment Canada's Protecting the Antarctic website.

- Measles: Global Update - March 13, 2015 13:54 EDT
Routine Vaccines
Be sure that your routine vaccines are up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
Vaccines to Consider
You may be at risk for these vaccine-preventable diseases while travelling in this country. Talk to your travel health provider about which ones are right for you.
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B is a disease of the liver spread through blood or other bodily fluids. Travellers who may be exposed (e.g., through sexual contact, medical treatment, sharing needles, tattooing, acupuncture or occupational exposure) should get vaccinated.
Seasonal influenza occurs worldwide. The flu season usually runs from November to April in the northern hemisphere, between April and October in the southern hemisphere and year round in the tropics. Influenza (flu) is caused by a virus spread from person to person when they cough or sneeze or by touching objects and surfaces that have been contaminated with the virus. Get the flu shot.
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease and is common in most parts of the world. Be sure your measles vaccination is up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
Yellow Fever Vaccination
Yellow fever is a disease caused by the bite of an infected mosquito.
Travellers get vaccinated either because it is required to enter a country or because it is recommended for their protection.
* It is important to note that country entry requirements may not reflect your risk of yellow fever at your destination. It is recommended that you contact the nearest diplomatic or consular office of the destination(s) you will be visiting to verify any additional entry requirements. | |
Risk |
Country Entry Requirement* |
Recommendation |
Food and Water-borne Diseases
Travellers to any destination in the world can develop travellers' diarrhea from consuming contaminated water or food.
Practise safe food and water precautions while travelling in Antarctica. When in doubt, remember…boil it, cook it, peel it, or leave it!
Insects and Illness
In some areas in Antarctica, certain insects may carry and spread diseases.
Travellers are advised to take precautions against bites.
There is no risk of malaria in this country.
Animals and Illness
Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with all animals as certain infections can be shared between humans and animals.
Person-to-Person Infections
Crowded conditions can increase your risk of certain illnesses. Remember to wash your hands often and practice proper cough and sneeze etiquette to avoid colds and the flu.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV are spread through blood and bodily fluids; practise safer sex.
Medical services and facilities
There are no organized or stand-by search and rescue or emergency evacuation facilities in Antarctica. Costs for search and rescue (or for the evacuation of private parties) will generally be charged to the party.
Ensure that you have equipment and clothing that meet Antarctic standards.
Keep in Mind...
The decision to travel is the sole responsibility of the traveller. The traveller is also responsible for his or her own personal safety.
Be prepared. Do not expect medical services to be the same as in Canada. Pack a travel health kit, especially if you will be travelling away from major city centres.
Laws & culture
Laws & culture
You are subject to local laws. See Arrest and detention for more information.
The Protocol to the Antarctic Treaty on Environmental Protection (Madrid Protocol), adopted in 1991 by the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Parties, designates Antarctica as a natural reserve, devoted to peace and science. Several areas have ecological, scientific, historical or other value and are afforded special protection. It is forbidden to bring any non-native species into Antarctica. This includes poultry, pet dogs, pet cats and household plants. It is also prohibited to take or harmfully interfere with Antarctic wildlife except in accordance with a permit issued by a national authority.
The Madrid Protocol came into force in 1998 and was ratified by 30 countries. Under the Madrid Protocol, parties are required to regulate the activities of expeditions organized in or proceeding from their territory to the Antarctic, as well as the activities of their vessels, aircraft and Antarctic stations.
Canada ratified the Madrid Protocol in December 2003, and developed the Antarctic Environmental Protection Act and its supporting regulation to implement the Protocol in Canada. In so doing, the Canadian government oversees the activities of its citizens in the Antarctic, and provides the means to address potential future environmental risks in the Antarctic.

Athens hotels
Sort by
Best value hotels | Most romantic hotels | Hotels for shopping | Best foodie hotels
For a city with one of the world's most famous landmarks - yes, the Parthenon - Athens is surprisingly low on world-class hotels, though the accommodation scene improved dramatically in the run-up to the Athens 2004 Olympics, when many new hotels opened and old ones were spruced up. More recently, a clutch of reasonably priced hotels has cropped up around the centre, which offer good value and a chance to explore under-the-radar (if slightly grubby) neighbourhoods like Keramikos, Metaxourgio, and Victoria. The city's top hotels (favoured by business travellers) are all located around Syntagma Square, on Syngrou Avenue or along the coastline (great for beach breaks, but a long haul from the major sights). Tourists tend to opt for hotels in Thission, Koukaki or Plaka, all within striking distance of the Acropolis. Even if the decor can be kitsch, the views are priceless (and, inevitably, come with a price premium).
Things to consider before booking:
- Five-star ratings in Greece (based on size and facilities rather than services) do not necessarily match up to international standards.
- Prices shoot up in July and August, peak holiday season in Greece.
- Around August 15 most of the city shuts down - although hotels are operational, you'll struggle to find restaurants, shops, and sights that are open.
- The area around Omonia Square has become increasingly crime-infested. Take extra care if staying here.
Athens is not just the city where I grew up - it's the place where I launched my career as a travel writer. For more than 20 years, I've been checking into hotels and checking out restaurants, shops, bars and sights in Athens for leading travel publications and guide books. Whether it's the latest design hotel on Conde Nast Traveller's Hot List, or a budget guesthouse with bags of charm, I know the Athens hotel scene inside out.

"Natural" and "Supernatural" are Modern Categories, Not Biblical Ones
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Some of the Christian objections to evolutionary creation come from a misunderstanding of what the Bible means when it says "God created".
When we sit down to read sacred Scripture, we need to develop a rapport with the Bible's various authors and their worldviews. Otherwise, we will unintentionally demand they communicate in the same manner we do.
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Barkley suggests that material creation is not the end of our understanding (as Naturalists think), but a beginning that unveils the majestic and power of a Creator who loves us.
Pastor Joseph Barkley of Ecclesia Church extols the greatness of the God who has brought forth incredible works and engaged humankind in relationship. In the first part of the sermon "Over and Above Naturalism," Barkley admires the factual knowledge unlocked by science, and yet reminds the Church that those material descriptions fail to answer the question of ultimate significance.
Is Genesis 1 describing material creation or functional creation? Pastor Richard Dahlstrom of Bethany Community Church beautifully articulates the insights he has received through John Walton's book The Lost World of Genesis One and probes deep into the Biblical text with us.
In today's video, Brian McLaren discusses the value of considering Scripture in light of the cultures that surrounded them. The Biblical writers were aware of the myths of the power nations that surrounded them, but flipped their stories on their heads to reveal truth about God.
in Genesis two, God calls humankind to know and study the surrounding world. The scriptures say that Adam took on the God-given task of naming the animals, which is, in fact, science: the exploration of the natural world.
Of all the blessings to be thankful for on Thanksgiving Day, none of them surpasses the riches of the eternal blessings which the Lord has bestowed on his sons and daughters in Christ Jesus.
In the last verses of Romans 2, the Apostle Paul relates the "failure of religion because of the terrible beauty of the Law" to the need for a regenerate heart.
Pete Shaw highlights the story of Noah to explore how the story would have been understood in ancient times and from there he goes on to explore how we might consider it today.
Pete Shaw, the senior pastor of Crosswalk Community Church in Napa California, offers a brief history of the interactions between science and faith in the first segment of his sermon.
In his sermon, Dave Swaim discusses the early chapters of Genesis that seemingly contradict scientific evidence, and he suggests that Christians have simply asked the "wrong questions" about this ancient text, which has led to warfare between the two. In light of this, Swaim wraps up his sermon with the three concluding points that he feels sums up the Biblical truth of creation: there is an all-powerful God, he has a perfect plan, and he has given us his love through Jesus Christ.
We should not be ashamed of the fact that our faith integrates spirit and body; our faith calls us to regard the stuff of creation in all of its materiality as good, and thus offers the best starting point for the practice and pleasure of art.
In this message, John Piper, one of America's most loved pastors explores the sense in which creation "begs for completeness."

In honor of Father's Day, this weekend's Coffee Talk is thrown open for you to talk about how you're honoring Father's Day, what you admire in your husband, or in your father or someone who has been a father-figure to you.

Five years ago, the Pittsburgh generics giant cobbled together an empire through its acquisitions of Dey Pharma, Matrix Laboratories and the Merck KGaA generics business, going from being the No. 3 player in US generics to No. 3 worldwide. Now Mylan is looking to expand in markets where generics are underutilized, including much of Europe, the Middle East and Asia (half the company's revenues come from generics-happy North America), while increasing the number of products it markets from 4,700 to 6,700 by 2015 and pushing into generic biologics. The firm faces some generic erosion of its own, though, as Sanofi and Intelliject will launch a competitor to its lucrative EpiPen Auto-Injector franchise in November.

As some might remember I am building a 72nd scale NAUTILUS a la Verne and Greg Sharpe. So far is proving to be a Sysiphian task. Always a snafu and setback! OI!
In the meantime, I am building a smaller version. More for practice and testing ideas. It is a kitbash in about 183 scale - about 2.5 times smaller than my eventual seventy-two!
Here is a link to the model so far: http://www.modeltsar.zoomshare.com/1.shtml/NAUTILUS
Still a little bit to do. Details to scratch in and then I can start painting! :O

Matt McGill (who has been on a blogging streak lately) posted some great reasons why your youth ministry should be aligned with the whole church and not just a siloed ministry. Here's 1, 3 and 4 – head there for the rest and be sure to subscribe to his blog, too:
1. The youth ministry is not the church–it may be the best part of the church, but it's still just a part.
3. Greater alignment usually means greater impact. Being a team player increases your alignment with the bigger picture.
4. Lead by example. You know how friendship works: if you want a friend, be a friend first. There will be days when you need help from the rest of the church. Be the first one to serve so that they are more eager to serve you. Obviously, this can be twisted into a game of politics, but you don't have to go that far with it.

Refuges, to have or not? That is the question
Alicia KnadlerIf public opinion counts when it comes to the actions of a public agency like the California Department of Fish and Game, then the state game refuges will remain closed to hunting.
In a nine-page public comment against elimination of the refuge status, Senior Attorney Ralph Henry of the Humane Society of the United States and the Fund for Animals blasted the department over several aspects of its proposal.
Henry lambasted the department on behalf of 11 million members, including 1.3 million in California.
He thinks the department is more interested in opening up new hunting opportunities than in "engaging the public on this matter," as called for in Senate Bill 1166.
The department ignores the true purposes of the refuge system, he states.
While some refuges were established only to protect deer in the 1910s, he shows how even more were designated to protect all wildlife in the 1950s.
He used comments from retired second-generation game warden Bob Orange that he read on plumasnews.com in November to illustrate his point.
He, the department itself and other respondents have mentioned that the failure of the refuge system in increasing deer herds may well be due to the lack of active management, something Plumas Audubon Society members have pledged to help with, as reported in last week's article.
He and other respondents also want non-hunters taken into account, even though they are not who the refuges were created for.
"It is also important to note that wildlife watchers, and indeed all refuge users, will face additional public safety risks if the refuges are closed and hunting is permitted on the lands at issue," Henry wrote.
Henry is also not the only one to charge the department for failing to conduct a good-faith effort to engage the public, which it was directed to do by the Legislature.
The department "provided the public with no scientific studies, empirical data or other objective information, instead providing its own conclusory opinions in a clear effort to justify elimination of the state game refuges," he finished.
What it means to local refuges: Plumas County
In Plumas-Eureka State Park there would be no hunting, even if the refuge status were eliminated.
For Smith Peak, mostly Forest Service land, both general and specific comments were received, though the department did not go into specific detail, like with others.
Dixie Mountain, mostly Forest Service land, received a specific note. "There was concern that removing the designation would endanger a population of non-native turkeys and be detrimental to deer in the area."
Mount Hough, both Forest Service and private land, also received rather ambiguous remarks, with "local concern about opening this refuge."
Lassen County
Hayden Hill, public and private lands, including Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service and a small portion of state commission lands, received general and specific comments, yet the department did not go into specific detail, like with some others.
Blacks Mountain Refuge, including Forest Service and private lands, received general comment only, nothing specific.
The people have spoken
The department report includes the following summary of public comments received, including 18 points for and against elimination of the refuge designation.
There are also notes at the end of its summary lists.
Summary of comments in support of retaining state game refuges
The main themes of comments, or reasons, received in support of retaining the refuges were:
• Against hunting
• Serve as sanctuaries for all wildlife and prevents extinction
• Quiet places near urban areas, peaceful to visit
• Eliminate hunting and shooting
• Reduce damage to roads, reduce trash
• Protect valuable migration corridors
• Reduce development of land
• Reduce law enforcement needs as the areas are strictly no hunting
• Increase the costs to landowners and agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service
• Hunting would be incompatible with horseback riding, bicycling, hiking and camping
• Fear of hunters and fear of being shot by a hunter
• Economic attempt because of the state budget crisis to sell land and/or raise additional funds
• Catering to the pro-hunting lobby, and effort was driven by hunters
• Fawns and mountain lions should not be killed
• Hunters already have enough land to hunt on
• Opposed except perhaps for hunting considered absolutely necessary by the Department of Fish and Game
• Elimination of refuge designation would require CEQA process
• No increase in enforcement problems
Some of the themes are reasonable and/or reflect individual opinion, others may not be factually supported, or are misconceptions by the public.
An interesting theme that seemed to dominate public opinion to retain the refuge designations is that the refuges serve a purpose for people in modern society, rather than for wildlife populations.
These comments were provided through emails, detailed letters and survey responses.
Summary of comments in support of eliminating state game refuges
The main themes of comments, or reasons, received in support of eliminating some or all of the refuges were:
• Open some (a few) as a trial on limited/permitted basis
• Existing regulations can provide for regulated hunting activity
• Open refuges for which the designation is not relevant
• Increase the economic viability of America's, and the world's, wildlife
• The refuges did not succeed at achieving their purpose
• Refuges are poorly posted
• Presence of legal hunters would curtail poaching and other illegal uses, like growing marijuana
• Provides young people more chance to participate in hunting
• Provide more hunter access for California hunters
• Hunters contribute a lot of monies toward the refuges and conservation and should have access for legal uses
• Opens additional land for hunting which takes pressure off other areas
• Wildlife become an asset rather than a nuisance for landowners worth managing for additional income
• Higher income via increased sale of hunting licenses and tags
• Provide for well managed, responsible wildlife habitat
• California hunting license fees continue to rise every year yet hunting area opportunities lessen
• Refuges in the deer X zones aren't needed because the quotas are so highly limited and controlled
• It seems all recent legislation and proposals have favored the anti-hunting community
• Decrease enforcement problems
Some of the themes are reasonable and/or reflect individual opinion, others may not be factually supported, or are misconceptions by the public.
An interesting theme that seemed to dominate public opinion to eliminate the refuge designations is that hunters directly pay for wildlife conservation, while the larger public generally does not, and hunters should derive some benefit for that economic support.

Pastor's Column: Playing favorites should be avoided
(Genesis 27:1-46)To those of you who are parents — do you have a "favorite" child? Maybe one of your kids reminds you of yourself at that age, or represents an unfulfilled dream in your own life, so you make it possible to "grease the skids" a bit and give such a child a leg up on the situation.It's dangerous when parents "play favorites" with their kids. And if you think the kids don't recognize such a play, think again. I remember Tom and Dick Smothers — yes, those famous musical and comedy brothers popular in the 1960s. Hmmm, that's 50 years ago! Anyway, the Smothers Brothers had a hilarious skit they performed titled, "Mom Always Liked You Best," in which Tom shows what "playing favorites" does in a family. He would tell his brother Dick, "Mom always liked you best. She gave you a dog to play with, but all she gave me was a chicken!" An obvious disparity was present, and Tom hadn't forgotten it. Of course we laughed at this, but the message was true. There's a famous story from the Bible that tells about what happens when parents play favorites; you probably recognize the names Jacob and Esau, from Genesis 27. Esau was his father Isaac's favorite because Esau was a man of the outdoors and a skillful hunter, just like Isaac. Jacob was more of a homebody, working around the tent. He was his mother Rebekah's favorite. These boys were twins, with Esau having been born first. But even during the birth process Jacob had tried to gain the upper hand and push past Esau in the birth canal. It looks like the sibling rivalry started right off the bat. Jacob became very skillful at manipulating situations to his advantage, first winning away the birthright from Esau, and then winning Isaac's blessing by deceiving his father into giving his blessing to Jacob in place of Esau. This conniving move on Jacob's part (at the prompting of his mother Rebekah) caused Esau to have an urge to kill his brother, so Jacob had to flee from home for a while until things cooled down.In Genesis 33, Jacob and Esau met many years later and made amends—sort of. But the family feud still continues to this day with the ongoing conflict between the Israelis and Arabs.It's a reminder to parents to avoid playing favorites.

Q. I know #!/bin/bash is shebang line. But, I noticed a few shell script shebang line ends with a single dash ( #!/bin/bash - ) or double dash ( #!/bin/bash -- ). Can you explains me purpose of such shebang line?
A. A - or -- signals the end of options and disables further option processing i.e. bash will not accept any of its option. Any arguments after the -- are treated as filenames and arguments. An argument of - is equivalent to --. This is done to improve script security. Some user may perform setuid based script root spoofing. To avoid interpreter spoofing you need to add -- to #!/bin/bash. This is rare but possible attack.
