Await Trial for Nonviolent Actions to Close School of the Americas ** Yesterday, January 24, five human rights advocates ? including a chaplain, students, a Steelworker, a farmer and a 79-year-old retiree ? were sentenced to three months in federal prison and fines of up to $500 for their acts of nonviolent civil disobedience calling for the closure of the US Army?s School of the Americas (SOA/ WHINSEC). Another defendant was sentenced to one year of probation with a $1,000 fine. Eight of their co-defendants ? two of whom are high school students ? will continue their trials tomorrow. ?It?s a sad day when peace protestors go to prison,? said Liz Deligio, 28, a chaplain and student from Chicago, Illinois sentenced to three months in prison, ?and the perpetrators of human rights violations will never see the inside of a courthouse ? let alone a jail.? This morning, trials continue. Court commenced at 9 am, with Alice Gerard?s trial continuing from yesterday. Supporters have packed the tiny courtroom, and a number of them were turned away due to lack of space. The SOA Watch website, www.SOAW.org, is being regularly updated. Continue to check throughout the day for the latest in the judicial proceedings. Click here to read more about the SOA 14 and what steps you can take to support them. Leaving the courthouse yesterday, defendant Liz Deligio commented, ?The spirit of hope and the courage of the defendants rose above the punitive verdicts handed down in court.? - - - - - - Adjudicated

How Godly Dads Can Bless Their Chlidren
- Part 42
- Series: Delights of a Word Filled Marriage
- Date: Jun 21, 2009 | Passage: 1 Peter 3:8-9
Press play to listen online:
On Father's day perhaps the greatest question every husband and father should ponder is, "Am I fulfilling my high calling from God to bless my wife and children?"
Today as we open to I Peter 3, we proclaim the incredible duty that God has given to husbands and fathers to bless those around them in their life and family.
God's Word declares that He has chosen husbands to lead their homes and marriages with Christlike love. Jesus showed us how to love by His example to His disciples. Part of what every born again husband and father will stand before Christ's Throne and explain is how he did at blessing his wife and family with Christ's sacrificial love.
Specifically husbands and fathers have the opportunity every day to BLESS their children (and wives) in three very crucial ways.
Men, write these down, and ask yourself over the next few minutes, "Am I doing this?" Here we go:
- Godly Dads can bless their children (and wives) by their Time invested in them.
- Godly Dads can bless their children (and wives) by their Lifestyle lived out as a servant.
- Godly Dads can bless their children (and wives) by their Words of blessing, spoken aloud to those they love.
God will not ask how profitable his company was, how successful his investment strategies were, how well his building projects were, He will say, "I called you to be a blessing—how did you do at that calling?".
I Peter 3:8-9, please listen to our shared calling as I read from the NASB:
To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit; 9not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing (NASB).
Our first challenge is learning to bless our loved ones with the time we invest in them.
1. Bless them by your time:
Have you chosen to bless those you love with your time? On my very first Father's Day as a dad, I was serving on staff as a new pastor in California. That day someone passed out to all of us a Father's Day tract. I read it, thought about it, and finally taped it into the front cover of my Bible until it wore out.
Now I have it typed and pasted there. Why? Because it is never too late to start doing what is right! And often listening to someone explain what they would do differently if they could helps us to start the same pathway ourselves. I listen carefully and try to learn from those ahead of me in their earthly pilgrimages. Do you know what? The changes they often share are so easy to implement even today. No matter where you are in the parenting process.
So here it is, let me read it to you:
"My family's all grown, and the kids are all gone. But, if I had to do it all over again, this is what I'd do:
- I would love my wife more in front of my children. [as God says in Proverbs 5:19, husbands should always be ravished by their love for their wife]
- I would laugh with my children more — at our mistakes and our joys. [a merry heart is like the best of medicine in Proverbs 17:22]
- I would listen more, even to the littlest child. [wise men are very swift to hear and very slow to speak is what God reminds us in James 1:19]
- I would be more honest about my own weaknesses, never pretending perfection. [we are to learn to always be transparent and walk in the light as we are instructed to do in I John 1:7]
- I would pray differently for my family — instead of focusing on them, I'd focus on me [God said that as His designated leaders in the church and home we are to take heed to ourselves and to our calling in Acts 20:28].
- I would do more things together with my children [God designed for dads to be a part of the whole day in their family's life from rising up, to eating, to going through the day, to bed time in His instructions left for dads in Deuteronomy 6:7].
- I would encourage them more and bestow more praise [As Paul says we are to be kind and tenderhearted in Ephesians 4:32 and as we saw Peter added, we are called to bless those we love in I Peter 3:7-8].
- I would pay more attention to little things, like deeds and words of thoughtfulness [Jesus reminds us that if we are faithful in little things, we'll also be faithful in the big things in Luke 16:10].
And then, finally, if I had to do it all over again, I would share God more intimately [Paul said that spiritual leaders are to ask others to follow them as they follow Christ in I Corinthians 11:1] with my family; every ordinary thing that happened in every ordinary day I would use to direct them to God."[1]
So dads, we bless those we love when we invest in them not only our time, we can bless them by our lifestyle.
2. Bless them by your lifestyle:
Always remember the power of servanthood in the life of a believer.
Servants of God Last for Ever. The greatest husband is the one who is the greatest servant; and the best wife is the one who is the best servant; and the most wonderful children are those who have servant hearts—the same goes for the happiest marriages, and healthiest homes.
If you want to excel in whatever work you do, or relationships you have—be God's servant.
Today, each of us here, no matter what our age, are given an opportunity by God to be great in His sight. Greatness in God's sight is really all that ever will matter—here on Earth and forever.
Open with me to Matthew 20:25-28:
But Jesus called them to Himself and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. 26 Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. 27 And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." NKJV
Now turn over to Matthew 23:10-12:
And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ. 11 But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. NKJV
Jesus says that the way up is down.
The way to the top is the bottom.
The way to greatness is servanthood.
Servants of God:
Live for Others
So Jesus calls us to be the greatest possible people we can be for Him. He defines greatness in relation to servant hood. So the way we are great to God is to be His servant. Let's apply that principle.
- To be the greatest husband: be the greatest servant of God to your wife.
- To be the greatest dad: be the greatest servant of God to your family.
- To be the greatest son or daughter: be the greatest servant of God to your parents and your brothers and sisters.
- To be the greatest wife: be the greatest servant of God to your husband.
- To be the greatest mother: be the greatest servant of God to your children.
- To be the greatest Christian: be the greatest servant to God.
And how do we do that? How do we learn to live for others? The greatest example of how to serve others comes to us from the greatest servant of all, Jesus Christ. And as Peter reminded us, He left us an example of how to follow 'in His steps' (I Peter 2:21).
Servants of God:
Look like Christ
Jesus said, greatest is the servant; and the greatest servant was Christ. How did He serve? His entire life was as a servant who served. Jesus knew and confessed that He did not come to be served, but He came to serve (Mark 10:45) and to give—give His life, give His love, and give His encouraging blessing!
- He gave His life; and so as His servants we are to be a living sacrifice.
- He led His disciples; and so as His followers we are to be servant leaders.
- He encouraged His own; and so as His servants we are to encourage and bless those we love and serve!
So the greatest thing in the entire world is serving God—it is what we shall be doing forever and should be doing now! This Father's Day, I am especially asking some fathers to be servants to their families. You will have the opportunity to serve them deeply by blessing them. Affirm and embrace a lifestyle of choosing to serve others first, instead of self.
This leads to the third and final way that dads can bless those God has given us in life:
3. Bless them by your words:
This is the New Testament Ministry of
Blessing Others
What was the last sight that all the disciples had of Jesus? Think back to the accounts in the Gospels when Jesus ascended into Heaven. What was He doing as He left? Have you ever noticed that little insight Luke gives us? Turn to Acts 1 and see the Ascension account in v. 8-9:
Acts 1:8-9 "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." 9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
So let me ask you, from reading this account of Christ's final actions before His ascension back into Heaven, what would you answer if I asked you:
What was Christ's
Final Action on Earth?
We just read the account of Christ's ascension that all of us remember most often. But, there is a second account that gives some precious details we have often missed. Turn back to Luke 24:50-53:
Luke 24:50-53 And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. 51 Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven. 52 And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53 and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen. (NKJV)
There it is, the answer to Christ's final action on Earth.
Those men would never forget walking with Jesus for 3 ½ year, they would never forget Christ's death, burial, and resurrection; but what would be riveted in their minds? It would be that incredible moment of the last time they saw Him here on Earth.
Their friend, their Savior, their most precious Lord of all left them in a most touching way. He lifted up His hands and touched them with His blessing! Think about that. Jesus was very careful what He did as He left His disciples, and the picture they would have deeply etched in their minds is Christ's loving, prayerful blessing raining down upon them as He was lifted upward and out of sight.
Those words of blessing raining down upon them must have been remembered over and over in the days ahead. Words have such power for good or evil.
The Powerful Gift of
Blessing Those we Love
What kind of words do you "rain down" upon those you are speaking to in life? And what are those who listen to your words remembering? Are they "blessed" by what you said?
Please look again at what Peter told us in I Peter 3. After talking about the basic building block of society and the church (marriage and family) he concludes with an incredible postscript:
1 Peter 3:8-9 Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; 9 not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling (spoken curses), but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.
In the New Testament a "blessing" we offer to a loved one is basically a prayer of encouragement for them. The New Testament Greek word (Strong's # 2127 eulogeo) for "blessing" is a verb used 44 times in the New Testament that means:
"to praise [your loved one], to celebrate [them] with praises [that] invoke [God's] blessings and consecrate [your loved one] with solemn prayers [that] ask God's blessing on [your loved one] to cause [them] to prosper, to make [them] happy, to bestow blessings [that they be] favored by God."[2]
So Peter basically says, "Sow words of blessing and you will reap a harvest of blessing."
What a powerful motivation to primarily use our words, mouths, and voices to bless others in Christ's Name! And that is what we get from nearly every one of the 44 times the work "bless" is used in the New Testament (14 x in Luke).
Here are some of the key verses:
- Blessing often involves touching: Mark 10:16 And He took them up in His arms, put His hands on them, and blessed them.
- Blessing often points to the future: Luke 2:34 Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, "Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against
- Blessing is usually hard but always very rewarding: Luke 6:28 "bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.
- Jesus ends His earthly ministry with the most vivid memory of blessing for His disciples: Luke 24:50-53 And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. 51 Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven. 52 And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53 and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen.
- Lest we miss it Paul repeats the habit of blessing as part of Christ's church's mandate: Romans 12:14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
- There was a Spirit-prompted work of blessing in the early church services: 1 Corinthians 14:16 Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uninformed say "Amen" at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you say?
- Even Old Testament heroes of the faith made it their last act like Christ's would be in the future, they would stretch out their hands and bless those they loved at the end of their lives. Which means they probably had that modeled for them and embraced it in their lives, so it shows up at the end!: Hebrews 11:20-21 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.
In the early church there were many pressures, many burdens—but that was far outweighed by the sweetness of the fellowship of other believers. There were many who like Barnabas (Acts 4:36) were characterized by encouraging or blessing people around them.
Hebrews 10:24-25 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting[3] one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Old Testament
One of the key descriptions of how God wanted His people blessed comes from the instructions to the priests. In the Jewish community the priests were the public servants, they inspected for disease, they protected the food supply, housing, dealt with domestic issues, and of course represented the people to God. In the New Testament we are to all be priests, and in a real sense, we are called like them to bless those around us.
Numbers 6:23-27 (NIV) "Tell Aaron and his sons, 'This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them: ""'The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace."' "So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them."
This idea of the blessing of the people was so woven into the fabric of the life of God's chosen people of promise the Jews that they began to make a specific verbal blessing time to be part of the private family Sabbath meal.
One of the most moving Shabbat (Jewish Sabbath) traditions is the blessing over the children given on Friday night. There are many variations on how the blessing is made. The most common custom is for the father to put his hands on the child's head and recite the blessing. In some homes the blessing is followed by a kiss, and in other homes it is followed by personal words of praise as the father walks around the table and blesses each seated child.
Why should we learn to share a blessing with our families? Because a blessing shared, and the whole expression of love that it gives helps those we love know in a visible way that we love them. Blessing those we love is a memorable way they can remember feeling and hearing our love.
Do you ever remember your father telling you out loud, in a clear and loving voice that he loved you and admired some qualities he had seen in your life?
Those types of words just stay in our hearts for a lifetime. My own dad often told me how much he saw the Lord's Hand in my life and what great things he believes God was doing in my life—and he said that regularly for the thirty-plus years he lived from my graduation from college, until his graduation for Heaven!
Christ's Example
This Father's Day, commit to never forget Christ's final action on Earth to His loved ones.
He lifted up His hands and touched them with His blessing! Think about that picture they would have deeply etched in their minds is Christ's loving, prayerful blessing raining down upon them as He was lifted upward and out of sight.
Those words of blessing raining down upon them must have been remembered over and over in the days ahead.
Dads, we have a God given opportunity to rain down Christlike blessings upon our wives and children, flowing from hearts of love.
Blessing our wives and children follows Christ's example, and helps us to be remembered as husbands and dads who loved with Christ's love.

[3] In the verse above, the word exhort is the Greek word parakaleo. This happens to even be the name of God the Holy Spirit who is the Comforter or Paraklete. This word is found 109 times in the New Testament (# 3870 parakaleo verb) translated in the New Testament as 'beseech' (43x), 'comfort' (23x), 'exhort' (21x), 'desire' (8x), 'pray' (6x), 'intreat' (3x), and 'besought' (1x). All of that to say, that 74x this verb is used as a verbal expression. We are called alongside of other believers primarily to say things that encourage or bless them. The Greek dictionary even defines this word as; "to call to one's side for exhortation, entreaty, comfort, instruction, etc.; to admonish, exhort, to beg, entreat, beseech; to console, to encourage and strengthen by consolation, to comfort".

Remember Me
Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival :: 06.14.07 – 06.17.07 :: Manchester, TN
In a dance of hippie ideals and corporate savvy, Bonnaroo, like some perverse sonic shopping mall, anchors their four-day gathering to a brand name like The Police but makes room for wonderful, lesser known acts like Haale, Yard Dogs Road Show and Sam Champion. Increasingly, you can amuse yourself with things other than live music and still happily fill up your time. The Yet Another (Comedy) Tent featured big names like Lewis Black, Dave Attell and the coolly whacked Flight of the Conchords. Elsewhere environmental seminars, Internet cafes, highbrow salons, MLB batting cages, burlesque acts, video game arcades and a Ferris wheel vied for our attentions.
What follows is a chunk of the experience. There's no way to put all of it into words, and like Almost Famous pointed out, some things that happen on the road should stay on the road. But, I will say my fourth Bonnaroo made me acutely aware of the atomic nature of existence – protons crashing against neutrons and electrons, everything tied together with knots we'll never untie and probably shouldn't even try to.
Austin's The Black Angels worked up a joyous dirge built by drum thuggery and keenly placed guitar explosions. Their voices sliced through the cumulus like a scalpel as the brilliant light show hijacked the neurons in our heads. They never drew anything out for too long, and everything had the creepy, cool vibe Bauhaus once created. Some tunes unfurled like a '30s blues record heard on a radio wave light years from home, a floor tom beaten by maracas carrying us off while we stared helplessly grinning at the keyboardist throwing her whole body into the music, a human sacrifice for this inviting pyre. The Black Angels wriggled like warm flesh under our grubby hands - slightly deranged, wholly hypnotic, undeniably sexy stuff.
More diverse, engaging classic rock could be found with the Sam Roberts Band, who combined The Slip's restless energy and seamless songwriting with crunchier guitars and dreamy harmonies. Like their sensational 2006 album, Chemical City, they opened with "The Gate," an irresistible invitation that marries power pop to sweeping ELO dynamics. The whole band leaned forward when they played, willing the music outward, actively engaging the enthusiastic crowd who bounced a maple leaf beach ball in the air, a nod to the band's Canadian roots. While they don't reinvent the wheel, they do remind one of all the charms of '70s rock.
Over at the new Bonna Rouge nightclub tent, Yard Dogs Road Show showed some skin after a Victorian tease. They're "quasi" a lot of things – tin pan alley, vaudeville, Tom Waits, Folies Bergere, Marx Brothers. It's a hell of a show that scoots to a clip-clop stomp akin to the Squirrel Nut Zippers with more comely trombonists, dream sequences and Leon Russell lookin' old men than you can shake a stick at. Dandy!
I peeked into both the Comedy Tent and the swanky new Somethin' Else jazz tent but outrageously long lines, erratic door polices and limited seating kept me away most of the weekend. The choice to see top flight comedians and jazz artists in air conditioned comfort was surely appealing but that choice usually meant missing as many as two to three other performances. The bits I caught of the Scott Amendola Band, the David Murray Black Saint Quartet and Don Byron Plays Jr. Walker were excellent, though all suffered from a degree of sound bleed from the rock acts playing This Tent a few yards away.

Sand gaper

Sand gaper
Sand gapers are large shellfish. The large shell valves, which you sometimes find on the beach, don't close entirely. They gape a bit. That is why this animal is called a sand gaper. Originally, they came from America. The Vikings brought this animal from North America to Europe. That may not seem so strange. However, the Vikings lived before Columbus. The presence of sand gapers in Europe indicates that the Vikings had contact with America. This means that Columbus was not the first to travel to America.

Eliminating coffee is also supposed to help minimise miscarriage risk. But really, most miscarriages are due to genetic defects with the baby and can't be prevented by any amount of healthy eating. I'm not saying that to depress you, just to point out that if anything does go wrong, chances are high that it was NOTHING you did or could have prevented.
Anyway... congratulations and welcome to MDC!
If decomposition persists please see your necromancer.
You can also take natural progesterone cream and natural vitamin E. Both of these supplements are known to assist pregnancy and to prevent a miscarriage.
Is the vitamin E in a prenatal like Rainbow Light enough? If not, how much?
Edit: I am going to look up food sources of Vit. E, too. Will report back.
and his baby brother (7/2011)
hi vitamin e foods include: nuts, seeds, avocado, olive oil.
and his baby brother (7/2011)
There are only 2 manufactures of vitamin E that sell Natural Unesterified Vitamin E.
They are Unique E and 4Spectrum E. Both of these vitamin E are the best forms of vitamin E.
I take 4spectrum E and love it. Please check out their websites.
Other brands of vitamin E have soybean oil or regular vegetable oil in them and these 2 brands does not.
I think rest, stress reduction, and happiness in relationships might be as crucial as nutrition and medical health. Avoiding toxic chemicals is obvious, avoiding toxic thoughts & individuals might be important too.
Averlee - You hit the bullseye when you stated "avoiding toxic thoughts & individuals might be important too". Oh my God!!!! This is so important!! People can say the cruelest things at times and half the time they dont even realized it. I don't have skin made out of steel and some things that people say to me really gets under my skin. I definitely agree with you 100%.

Hill Country, Co., Negril Village....? Most fun for kids (and tasty for parent)
- 8 Comments
- Follow
I'm going to be in new york with my preschooler. My husband has a business dinner and we're going to be on our own for dinner....that being said...I'm looking for a place that I won't stick out like a sore thumb-dining solo with a child....those above mentioned are my options as of now....def looking on the casual side...doesn't really matter where in Manhattan but we are staying in midtown west-maybe there are options closer to home-if not...any option is appreciated.
I've definitely seen kids at Company, not too often at Hill Country (although I haven't been looking). For Company, I'd get there on the early side (5 or 6) as it's pretty popular. If the line is too long, you might also try Grand Sichuan International across the street.
re: kathryn
okay, thanks!
re: wcgirl
I have seen children at Hill Country. However, the problem is that there is not complete table service, i.e., you have to get your own food though servers will bring drinks, and that could pose a problem since you have nobody else to watch your child at the table, and the line for food can be long.
I would suggest Blue Smoke, on 27th St., b/t Lex & Park Av. S. Good food, full service, nice atmospherics, and very child-friendly.
Edited to add: I just noticed that you are staying in midtown west. Virgil's BBQ is in that part of town, on 44th St., b/t 6th & 7th Avs. Another very child-friendly spot.
I have brought my two young children to Hill Country twice and it was fine The big advantage of Hill Country is that you get your food yourself and then sit and eat. You don't have to request the kid's food come first or right away while you sit and wait for your food and then they sit and watch you eat. My kids liked that they could see all the food before they ordered it so they knew what they were getting. Go on the early side when the lines are not long and your kid can wait on line with you. Mine loved watching them pull the big hunks of meat fron the containers in the back and then slice it up.

Blue Smoke is great for kids as they let you decorate your own cookie that they cook and bring out for dessert at the end of the meal.
Hill country is also perfect as its buffet style, loud and rowdy.0 -
Thanks! All great advice.....are there any other options you can think of aside from BBQ? I'm just curious what else is out there.
re: wcgirl
Penelope, on the corner of Lex & 30th St., is a child-friendly little restaurant with good food (eclectic menu) and kitchy decor.
Otto, one of Batali's restaurants, is family friendly, as are both locations of Landmarc (the one in the Time Warner Center is close to where you are staying.
re: RGR
Thanks! I've been to otto and love it, but had forgotten about that...penelope might be right up my alley. Thanks!

Lake Placid/Whiteface Ski Resort
Top Resort for:
Overview by Mitch Kaplan
Twice the site of the Winter Olympics, Lake Placid offers a wonderfully quirky combination of small-town Americana and international competition center. Whiteface boasts the East's largest vertical drop, but also harbors a reputation for being cold and icy. It can be that, but there's something magical about whirling down the same slopes as Olympic racers and World Cup freestylists, and there's something welcoming about the state-owned facilities with their smoke-free environment and small-town friendliness.
But what makes this destination truly fantastic is all the other attractions at your fingertips. After you've watched world-class ski jumpers fly, tried the Olympic bobsled and luge rides for yourself, taken a turn around the speed-skating oval, and perhaps watched an international hockey match at the arena, you'll realize that there are few places in North America where all this can be experienced in one spot.
What's New: Snowmaking equipment has been added to Whiteface's Hoyt's Height, a 4,700-foot expert trail, and will begin production in January 2013.
Where: Five hours north of New York City, two and a half hours from Albany.

iPhone 5 Problems - seeking replacement
So I got the iPhone 5 on launch day and it was fine but has quickly become problematic for me.
1. Shortly after getting it I tried to get a replacement one because my wifi would always go on and off, but they told me there was nothing wrong with it. I knew there had to be because my iPad and MacBook that I use in the same places never have the problems. They told me it was fine and I left the store. It still happens. 2. Back then my battery was fine, getting at least 6-6.5 hours of usage. A few months ago out of no where it started getting around 4-4.5 and I haven't changed what I was doing using the phone. 3. The phone freezes out of no where, at least twice a week I have to turn it off or restart it. Not a huge problem, but still shouldn't be happening. 4. The back camera has noticeable dust in it. I may sound like I'm bitching, which I kinda am, but I paid $400 for this and don't think I should have all of these problems on this phone I take very good care of. So I want to go to the Apple store, but it's 40 min away and I don't want to get turned down again. Is there any way these problems can guarantee me a replacement phone? If I mention all 4 problems will the genius just think I'm making stuff up for a freebie? |

They are much, much tougher nowadays with regards swaps and changes. It needs to be a tangible defect and I would warrant the freezing and dust under the camera the ones you want to pick up on. They can test and see if it is overheating via their diagnostics and dust under lens is something they won't be able to deny.
Of course sometimes accidents can happen and that is what insurance is for. |

I think #4 is your best bet, but even then, with their new "fix the defective parts on iPhones instead of replacing the entire phone" program that they're rolling out, who knows what they'd do.
IMO, there is no guarantee. It comes down to how the person working with you that day wants to tackle your list of issues. |

The guy acknowledged that there were a few software related problems so they were going to do their own restore for it or whatever and I mentioned the dust so he asked to take the camera out and try to remove the dust - I said go for it. 5 minutes later he said he realizes that I use the phone often for work to take pictures and replaced it instead.
However, now my Gmail/Exchange account isn't working. I deleted it and redid it numerous times and still says connection to server failed? ---------- Woah I just read that Gmail Exchange is no longer supported on new devices. Well that sucks... |

Jun 6, 2013, 02:15 PM | #6 |
I believe #2 and #3 are software issues.
You say you've done nothing, but the battery drains faster now. Should I assume by you saying you've done nothing that you have never ever installed any new apps, removed any apps, or upgraded any apps or iOS at all? I ask because most battery drain problems are directly due to software, such as apps not closing properly. Hard to blame the hardware on that. Freezing up could be the same problem or at least related. Dust is a problem that I'd have a fit with, so I'd go with that. But you'll need proof, if the unit is under warranty. If not, you're probably out of luck.
The amount of material possessions one owns should not qualify them as a successful or just person. The only worth these items have is the one you give them. |

After fully charging the replacement last night and using it throughout the day, I'm at 50% battery left with 4 hours 22 min of usage. My old would probably be at <10% with that much usage. |

#1 is all the iphone 5's problem, you must update the ios to the newest.
#2 the battery usage will reduce as the using, but your battery capacity seems reduce too quickly. #3 reinstall some apps , especially the big app. My iphone also freeze as the ibook ( I download too many books) #4 just clean it If you iphone 5 just under warranty, take it to apple store and replace one. Hopes that help you. |

AV says they have 40 million searches performed per day worldwide, so AV Deutschland may well have 900.000 unique vissitors per month, but as you can see, that doesn't push them into the Top 10. I suspect Fireball is neck-to-neck with them somewhere in the 11-20. Some months they make it to the list, some not.

By all accounts, Gov. Scott Walker's tax relief proposal will have a minimal effect on property tax bills - about $13 on the typical home in the first year and $20 the second year, according to Legislative Fiscal Bureau estimates.
But the effect on the state's structural deficit is anything but minimal. The property tax cut - $100 million - and a raft of workforce development measures - $80 million - will add $180 million to the projected structural deficit, a 33 percent increase.
That means the state will start the 2015-17 biennium with a $725 million deficit, instead of the $545 million shortfall of earlier projections.
That certainly isn't the worst we've seen. First-year structural deficits have ranged from $589 million to $1.3 billion. As Walker spokesman Tom Evenson told the Wisconsin State Journal, it's still the lowest proposed structural deficit in more than 15 years.
Plus, better-than-expected growth in state revenue, the very thing that made this property tax relief possible, between now and the next budget could reduce that amount. We're already expecting to get an extra $30 million in state revenue in the first year that online retailer Amazon.com Inc. collects state and local taxes. Amazon said it will start charging state taxes on Nov. 1.
The Joint Finance Committee and state Senate both passed the measure Tuesday, with bipartisan support, including Sens. Frank Lasee, R-Ledgeview, and Dave Hansen, D-Green Bay. The Assembly approved it Thursday and sent it to the governor.
The plan adds $40 million to the school aid formula this year and $60 million next. It won't give the schools any more money to spend because it doesn't raise school revenue limits, but it will "reduce property taxes by the amount of the increased aid," the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance wrote.
Therefore, the amount of property tax relief will vary by school district. Sixty-five districts, accounting for 5.5 percent of students, will get no benefit, the WTA said, while 197, representing half the students, would see a school levy cut of about 1 percent less. The rest would be more than 1 percent.
For example, the Green Bay School District would get about $828,943 more in school aid with Walker's plan, a 0.6 percent increase, compared with the state average of a 0.9 percent increase. But a school district like Madison will get a 4.6 percent increase in state aid.
"Some higher value districts will get more aid," said Dale Knapp of the WTA, "but when you apply that to their property tax bill, most everybody is going to get about the same cut." The vast majority of school districts will see a 10- to 11-cent decrease in the property tax rate, he said.
But it doesn't mean your overall property tax bill will be lower than last year's. Walker's tax relief bill deals with only the public school portion of your bill, not the county, municipal or technical college taxes.
Also, some school districts were already getting less aid than a year ago and were proposing an increase in the tax levy. The governor's proposal will reduce that increase by about $13 on average.
So while we applaud the reduction in how much the majority of state residents would have paid in property taxes for 2013, we are cautious about what it means for the next biennial budget.
Walker is banking on revenue growth. We hope he's right, because that will be good news for the state economy and good news for the next budget.

It's no secret that Booth fans love K. Sparks and his Manic Mondays series; for the last five weeks, the previous week's feature has been awarded either the #1 or #2 slot on our Underground chart. For the eleventh edition of the series, we proudly present what many will consider Sparks' strongest effort yet, Young Malcolm. On the record, the emcee of the day takes no prisoners, while expressing his feelings on the current state of hip-hop. Making sure to shout out West Coast favorite, Crooked I, who inspired him to do the online series, Sparks reaffirms his Hip-Hop Presidential stance. Producer T-Mos also delivers with a raw, low brass beat with samples from Malcolm X's potent and witty 1965 speech in Selma, Alabama. With such an off-the-chain combination of lyrical flair and production wizardry, it will sure be hard to top Young Malcolm next Manic Monday… or will it?

Yesterday I took a look at Telltale Games and how they have struck gold with their game, The Walking Dead, after a lot of missteps and quite plainly, poor games. What is interesting is that outside of simply the content of their games and the writing, the delivery method that they chose for their titles has been an interesting one and it could become a standing in the game industry. Of course, that is through downloadable episodes. Episodic content has been around forever in television, radio and even in literature, but in gaming it has yet to really gain any traction, but Telltale has stuck to their guns when it comes to offering episodic content and we've also seen 343 Industries do the same with Halo 4's Spartan Ops.
These are just two recent examples of episodic content in gaming that have received critical acclaim, but there has been more and I'm willing to bet that those recent successes will lead to other developers and publishers exploring the world of episodic downloadable content as a way to keep fans interested in their games. Of course, downloadable content has become a beast in the world of gaming, with fans both loving and hating it and having very valid reasons for both. It has been heralded as both the savior of the gaming industry and the destroyer, but like everything else, the truth lies somewhere in the middle in the grey area.
Games coming out in episodic installments could be a great way to deliver a game to fans and to tailor that game as you develop so to keep fans interested. When you buy a game, you are buying a finished product which has been fully-realized by the time that it reaches you, the end consumer. Sure, there are patches and DLC add-ons, but it is mostly a done deal. The story has been written and scripted and not much will change from when the game is pressed to when you actually play through it. Episodic content can allow for on-the-fly development changes to adjust for critical and consumer reactions.
In an ever-greedy world of game publishing, we've already seen the phenomenon of "subscription services" or "season passes" for games, but something about them tend to be a bit hollow. It usually just means that you get whatever DLC they choose to release. If a season pass actually gave you access to a season's worth of game content, I think there would be an uptick in gamers looking to subscribe to such a service, as opposed to feeling like they will just get a bunch of map packs from Battlefield Premium or Call of Duty Elite.
This could also lead to gaming being a bit more like television, where there are actual seasons for games and gamers are given easily-digestible portions of content to consume on a weekly basis. Now, this absolutely will not work for every type of game, especially most of the games on the market today, but it could help lead the way for new kinds of games and content in the future. Two dollars a week for an hour of gameplay over the span of 24 weeks might sound like an odd concept right now, but it could unlock a whole new movement in gaming.
The big question is if gamers will accept episodic gaming as a viable method of playing. The Walking Dead might have been a critical success for Telltale, but they did just release all five episodes of the first season in retail outlets today for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 at the same price as buying the episodes online would be. Would you accept more episodic gameplay, or would you rather see stuff like Telltale and Halo 4's Spartan Ops as the line we don't cross yet?
December 13, 2012 at 10:51 am
Steam introduced Episodic gaming with Half Life 2 and then with SiN Episodes. Unfortunately things don't go well and gave way to DLCs. Telltale's adventure type games are perfect for episodic content while more complex games like shooters tend be harder to make in such a small time frame. Which is why we see a lot of DLCs for shooters are stuff that developers have been talking about and in development before the games were even launched. The numerous contents that follow afterwards tend to be small items or multiplayer maps. There are more multiplayer maps than singleplayer add-on missions (none at all) in all of Max Payne 3's DLCs.
It's weird people now are treating episodic games as some new that will change the industry even though it's an idea that has been around since Half Life 2. Currently, only certain types of games can exploit this to the fullest with Telltale Games leading the pack.
December 17, 2012 at 11:53 pm
Oh yeah, you are absolutely right about Half-Life 2, but at the same time, Half-Life 2 was its own game and those were basically expansion packs.

El-Maleh, Aiman H. (2003) A Hybrid Test Compression Technique for Efficient Testing of Systems-on-a-Chip. 10th IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits and Systems,. pp. 599-602.
| PDF 159Kb |
One of the major challenges in testing a System-on-a-Chip (SOC) is dealing with the large test data size. To reduce the volume of test data, several efficient test data compression techniques have been recently proposed. In this paper, we propose hybrid test compression techniques that combine the Geometric-Primitives-Based compression technique with the frequency-directed run-length (FDR) and extended frequencydirected run-length (EFDR) coding techniques. Based on experimental results, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid compression techniques in increasing the test data compression ratios over those obtained by the Geometric- Primitives-Based compression technique.

We just had a wacky hour at the Watertown Daily Times.
Blogger Robert Stacy McCain, who is following Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman around today, banged out a story at my desk while I was inside the editor and co-publisher's office watching the fireworks.
John B. Johnson Jr. was clear in this morning's editorial in our paper: The issues germane to the 23rd Congressional District are not being talked about because that discourse is getting drowned out by the cacophony from special interest groups outside the district.
Mr. Hoffman, it appeared, had not taken the time to read the local opinion page before visiting.
When asked about the rooftop highway that could connect Watertown to Plattsburgh, Mr. Hoffman said he was "open to reviewing and studying it."
When asked about winter navigation on the St. Lawrence Seaway, he took no position. When asked about widening and deeping the Seaway, he again said nothing.
The atmosphere was tense, at times.
Mr. Hoffman said at one point that if we were going to question him, that he needed to know in advance what we were going to ask him about.
That's not the way it works. Mr. Hoffman would likely find that out if he kept his commitment to the Clifton-Fine Development Corp.'s "meet-the-candidates" night tonight in Wanakena, instead of ditching them for an appearance on Glenn Beck's television show.
UPDATE: WWNY-TV is reporting that Mr. Hoffman's appearance with Mr. Beck is off, but that he will "not attend the Wanakena event anyway because he would be doing national press interviews."
Constituents ask questions about subjects that impact their lives, just as Mr. Johnson asked questions that he believes are in the best interests of our readers.
Dick Armey, the former House majority leader, watched as the back-and-forth unfolded. And then he offered an argument that we'll know is right or wrong on Nov. 3. The former Texas congressman said that Mr. Johnson had the right to base his endorsement on parochial issues, not national ones. But Mr. Armey said this race was going to be won or lost on national issues - taxes and the economy to name two - instead of issues of only local importance.
If Mr. Armey is right, then we're sunk. There's no learning curve here. Come Nov. 4, someone is going to represent us. They don't wait until Jan. 1 to take office. Let's make the right choice, whoever you believe that may be.
I give Mr. Hoffman a tremendous amount of credit for scheduling the meeting and keeping it, even though he likely knew this would not be a great-to-know-you-smiles-all-around affair. And I give the candidate even more credit, after being criticized for nearly a half-hour straight, for telling my publisher that he'd like to call him periodically for advice if he wins.
Mr. Hoffman may have not learned everything he needs to know in the four months since he declared his candidacy, but he's smart enough to realize that there's a network of support for him if he desires it.
I'll have video from his AM appearance with Mr. Armey later today.

Boehner throws in the towel on the debt limit
Submitted by meekandmild on Tue, 02/04/2014 - 18:35Just days away from the deadline to extend the nation's borrowing limit, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) told House Republicans in a private meeting not to fight it, according to Roll Call.
Said Boehner: "There's no sense picking a fight we can't win."
Despite calls from House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) to insist on concessions from President Obama, Boehner knows it's not possible without risking default on the nation's debt.
Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew set a deadline of Friday to pass a bill. He said that otherwise he would need to take "extraordinary measures" to stretch out the current borrowing authority until the end of the month.

Instead of arguing
Instead of arguing and posturing, just promptly bring up a clean bill for a vote, and then watch it fail. And then do nothing. Say, OK Dems, we put up a clean bill and it didn't pass. We're not posturing, we're waiting for you to propose something that works for us.
Take back the GOP and Restore America Now.

Boehner cant make a decission to throw in a towel.
He is a sold out self enriching pig puppet of the False debt slave counterfeiter debt/extortion Rothschild banker overlords.
He is such a good and willing puppet he shows his love for IzUnReal to seek affection Of his debt slave masters. In another time he would have been the slave with the whip happily (just doing his job) drawing the blood of fellow slaves.

Boener is just
a good Collectivist boy. The right continues to blame Obama for the debt increases, but the debt has increased $4 trillion with GOP controlling the House, with Boener at the helm. The House appropriates the money, and Boener and the GOP Corporate Collective have given Obama everything he's demanded, thus appropriating all this debt. There goal, as a Collective with the Democrats, has been to push the status quo, and hopefully disgust the Tea Party/Liberty voters, so the establishment can eliminate the pests confronting their agenda. When Boener became speaker, he made it a point to play golf with Obama, where they are free to speak without the possibility of being recorded. This is one of the reason Obama plays golf all the time. To meet with people unaccountably and to avoid insiders leaking the real agenda.

"Boehner throws in the [orange-tear-stained] towel"
But seriously, of course he did. Who would expect otherwise from this character?
This is interesting though...
"Despite calls from House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) to insist on concessions from President Obama, Boehner knows it's not possible without risking default on the nation's debt."
O really? You insist on concessions do you Paul? If memory serves, that's the same Paul Ryan who just weeks ago pioneered the deal which undid the sequester (you know, that farcically small promised future reduction in the rate of increase of federal spending...which apparently was just too "draconian" for "fiscal conservatives" like Paul Ryan to bear), correct? :-O (!!!) And now he's pretending to "insist on concessions" over the debt ceiling? What a CLOWN!!!

Joel Skousen Predicted This Last October and Explained WHY
Here's a portion of what he stated in his October 18, 2013 World Affairs Brief (www.worldaffairsbrief.com)
I said at the beginning that Boehner would give it away in the end but I never envisioned the results would be this bad. Conservatives lost much more in this fight to stop Obamacare and hold the line on deficit spending—they lost the war. By allowing Boehner and other "moderate" (meaning: compromising) Republicans to sabotage the debate, take the blame without rebuttal and walk away with absolutely nothing to show for the fight, they lost the ability to launch another battle in January. They've set the stage for the media to demand there will never be another threat of a government "shutdown" even though there never was a shutdown and default was never a real threat.
This is similar to what the Republicans did in sabotaging the impeachment of Bill Clinton. It was the Republican leadership that hobbled and restricted the attack on Clinton, not the Democrats, according to prosecutor David Schippers (a Democrat). Republicans purposely made a folly of the impeachment process so as to poison the public's toleration for impeachment ever again. By only concentrating on his sexual problems and evading more serious issues like technology transfers to China, the case appeared weak and embarrassed the whole process. No one will even dare to suggest impeachment now because they made a laughing stock of the process.
The NY Times summarized the typical media reaction:
Congressional Republicans conceded defeat
on Wednesday in their bitter budget fight
with President Obama over the new health
care law as the House and Senate approved
last-minute legislation ending a disruptive
6-day government shutdown and extending
federal borrowing power to avert a financial
default with potentially worldwide economic
The pro-government media is rejoicing that the two major attacks on increased government power have successfully been defeated — probably forever: the defunding of Obamcare and the threat against a continuing increase of the debt limit. There was no threat of "default with potential worldwide economic repercussions" as the Times claimed. But continuing down the path we are now on is going to lead to eventual default, as Peter Schiff said this week:
Default is inevitable...anyway. But we're
not going to default because we don't raise
the debt ceiling. We're going to default
Unfortunately, the political waters of conservative opposition to both have been forever poisoned by the way this was fought. House Speaker John Boehner had the audacity to claim (NY Times),
"We fought the good fight," said Speaker
John A. Boehner of Ohio, who has struggled
to control the conservative faction in the
House, in an interview with a Cincinnati
radio station. "We just didn't win."
They got the part about "controlling" the conservative faction right. But they missed the fact that Boehner sabotaged the entire fight by what he DIDN'T say as the battle progressed. He agreed to not criticize each other, which worked only to favor the administration. He thus gave up his only weapon in the propaganda war. Not once did the Republican leadership effectively broadcast to the world how the Obama administration set out to purposely and unnecessarily shut down aspects of government parks, memorials, and lands which was unnecessary and saved little money—simply to make life difficult. If Republicans had only used the kind of list of egregious examples I published last week they could have directed the public's anger toward Obama, ...

Can't hardly blame him. They
Can't hardly blame him. They can overspend without consequences, it's an election year, and last time they tried to impose fiscal restraint the Dems and the MSM painted them as uncaring Scrooges.

Boehner: Typical conservative.
Boehner knows if he raises a fuss over the debt ceiling then he might have to cut some of the massive govt programs conservatives love...
That's why the itty bitty sequestration quietly went bye-bye.
Why do you think both parties and the media HATE Libertarians?

Boehner is a subversive agent of the left
He is a complete and utter pushover.
Every single time.
He acts as an apologist for the Republican party, and conservatives.
The guy is beyond useless and should be attacked more often by real conservatives.
He is a gatekeeper. Speaker of the House is a powerful position, and he is conceding it to the political opposition.
The only Republican policies/bills he supports are the authoritarian/collectivist ones.
How about we start looking for places to cut funding. The House has all the authority to determine what gets funded. At least they are supposed to. But sell-out phonies like Boehner make sure there is no real opposition to the NWO policies.

He's a complete tool. Bought long, long ago.
Unless they got him for free, even.

They've repeatedly gone past the treasurer's limit
This is old hat. The treasurer takes these "extraordinary measures" and keeps the government chugging along.
There is only one cure for the debt limit problem--limit the debt. Disallow borrowing in excess of the limit, only rolling over existing debt. Cut spending, damn it.
The truth is, Obama has been reducing the deficit while the Republicans have been drawing false lines in the sand and then caving--over and over and over. Boehner is just resigned to the fact that nobody believes Republicans' budget bluff any longer. The sequester, the shutdown, just hoax on top of hoax, Republicans scheming to lie to their voters.
The TEA Party needs to take names. List exactly who never caved, never voted for compromise in the House and Senate and defend them, and at the same time campaign hard to remove the fiduciary traitors in primary challenges. Borrowing by the government (aka the Fed printing money out of thin air) is a tax, because it inevitably leads to inflation, making my wages worth less.
Take back the GOP and Restore America Now.

Since "Cave-in" is his middle name
I can sincerely state he has smaller
balls than the Bumblebee bat,
one of the world's smallest mammals
and an endangered species. If only
that were true in his case!

Boehner has forgotten what one is & how to have one.
Now is the time to stand-tall, to stand for something worthy of fighting for. This guy would not know a balanced budget from a bankruptcy.

Just prohibit borrowing until debt is paid.
Cut spending to the bone. Eliminate 5 departments.
Free includes debt-free!

Why is every show getting so silly these days?
Even the D vs R show is getting sillier and sillier. The reality is they couldn't think of a catchy name this time and said, "Forget it, we can always act like we're totally against it again in a few months."
