Written by R. Todd Mangum Monday, 26 May 2014 00:00
I've said in the past that I find the optimistic triumphalism of postmillennialism refreshing . . . at least in small doses. As time goes on and the more I study and wrestle with Scripture, the more I'd say it's the triumphalism that gets old after a while (especially if it's the obnoxious political variety), not so much the postmillennial view itself.
I'm intrigued and have been influenced by the theology (including the eschatology) of Walter Rauschenbusch. Anybody who writes influential theology after spending 20 years as a pastor in Hell's Kitchen is somebody I consider worth giving my ear. Rauschenbusch was no stranger to pain and suffering, cruelty and injustice; yet, he was a postmillennialist, believing that the Kingdom of God is one that may make its inroads ever so slowly — but nevertheless surely. He believed that, however harsh and gloomy may be the battle, the church of Christ is on the advance against the kingdom of hell; and the gates of hell will not prevail (but, rather, the unremitting progression of Christ's mission will. . . .)
Rauschenbusch listened carefully to the premillennialist arguments of his day — which careful, level-headed listening is rare enough in itself in the eschatology debates to get my notice. He was even willing to grant that premillennialism may in the end be right [!]; here's what he said as a concluding assessment:
"It is true, Jesus tells us himself that good and evil will remain side by side to the end, that there will be affliction and opposition to the last, and that he is blessed who perseveres to the end. It may be true too that a great final struggle will take place, and that the old serpent will coil itself for a last spring. But for all that, we cannot cease to believe that Christianity is gaining inch by inch and that there is Scripture for that too."
— Walter Rauschenbusch, "The Brotherhood of the Kingdom: Our Attitude Toward Millenarianism
I don't know that a summary of biblical teaching in regard to the age-old debates around eschatology gets any better than that. It MIGHT be true that history will end on a sour note, and the Christ's return will represent something like a pulling-the-fat-out-of-the-fire rescue venture. It may be true that what Jesus brings when He returns is not actually the "Golden Age" of the eternal state, but merely a "Silver Age," a period that is considerably better than the state of affairs we know now — where lion lays next to lamb, and a child can place his hand in a snake's den and not be injured — but in which death and curse, birth and aging still occur (cf. Isa. 11:4-9; 65:17-25).
premillennialism is right...
It may be that premillennialism is right about all that. Even still, postmillennialists are still, definitely right about the Kingdom being, not a cataclysmic event that Jesus brings with a single thunderclap of trumpet sound upon His descent, but is something that Jesus brought with His FIRST coming, that starts — that startED — small, but that incrementally grows and gradually pervades successfully through the whole earth (which is why the postmillennialists account for the parables of Matthew 13 better than anybody).
postmillennialists are right too...
The postmillennialists are definitely right, too, about Jesus' reign having started; that His authority is not just in heaven, and is not just partial now; or that will be given to Jesus only in the future. But rather, ALL authority, in heaven AND ON EARTH, HAS BEEN GIVEN to Jesus already; as was accomplished by His life, death, and resurrection (as Matthew 28:18 makes clear).
It is the postmillennialists who therefore get right the most practical aspects of the whole puzzling picture of eschatology that we're confronted with in Scripture. Are we in the Kingdom? Are we "in the last days," when "perilous times" should be expected (2 Tim. 3:1)? No matter. In the meantime, we're called to be faithful servants, awaiting the homeowner's return. In the meantime, God is on a mission, and we are privileged to be a part of it, whether we put armies to flight by our participation, or are flogged and beaten, tortured, beheaded or sawed in two (much like Hebrews 11:32-40 describes).
On this point, the postmillennialists are definitely right — and the confidence and optimism and hope they urge is only appropriate. About this, they are definitely right. Am I right?
Don't forget that I participated in a recent debate at Cairn University. Below is the audio from that fantastic debate.

Fishy fishy fishy!! If you've seen Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo then you probably remember that line. If you don't then you'll say it anyway because there's tons of them here!
This is the first time I've seen so much koi in one place. Some were even jumping out of the water as they were being fed. It's really a sight to see and I'm sure everybody not just the kids will enjoy it. It's a good place to bring your family, dine out and enjoy some outdoor activities.
Read More…I went to Tagaytay over the long weekend with Kamille and her friends. They didn't have anything planned so I suggested we eat at Memory Lane. I've always wanted to see the place because I've had several friends post photos of their trip to this restaurant.
As you can see on the 360 virtual tour the place has this 50′s and 60′s vibe. There are old movie posters and antique items all over the place. There's also a gift shop and a salon at the back.

I got to see UST at night after the new year due to some unfortunate incident. My girlfriend's brother had to be admitted to the UST hospital due to dengue fever.
I never appreciated UST until I saw it at night with all the lights on plus Kamille gave me a tour of her school and I realized how much historical value the place has. So when we headed back there I decided to bring my camera and shoot the place.

Happy New Year Everyone! I hope you had a blast in 2011. If you're planning trips for 2012 you should definitely include Caramoan Islands. We went there in August 2009 so this is actually an old post I had to delay uploading it since I wanted to apply some new post processing techniques I learned just recently.
Read More…Policarpio Street is the popular street in Mandaluyong City known for the wonderful Christmas lights and decorations of the houses.
I saw this on TV I think last year but only had the chance to see it today, I was accompanied by my girlfriend Kamille. It's basically a street with houses, you can park anywhere along the street. I think it's pretty safe since there are a lot of people going around and there's a Tanod guarding the gate. I noticed 4-5 houses with displays but only 3 got my attention and those were the ones I took photos of. Read More…
I work in Makati but I pass by Ortigas often because I drive my girlfriend home after work. 2 weeks ago I noticed the Christmas lights on the Meralco building facade and the Giant belen from outside so I decided to give the place a visit. It turns out to be Meralco's Christmas park called Meralco Liwanag Park, I think they changed the name recently because I saw a sign outside before saying Paskuhan Village.

Events | December 4, 2011 | 474 Views
The Philippine Azkals went head to head with the L.A. Galaxy yesterday in a friendly game dubbed the "dream cup match".
I have wanted to do a 360 shoot of an Azkals game for the longest time. This is the 4th time I've watched them live in Rizal Stadium. On all the previous matches people were not allowed to bring in DSLRs. This time they allowed it with limitations, you can only bring in lens with focal length up to 50mm, Good thing I only needed my 8mm lens. The bad thing, I had to shoot without my tripod. So sorry for some misalignments in the photo.

We'll share with you the new location in upcoming posts. Thanks for patronizing Distrito and we'll see you soon!"
Distrito is a weekday late night market located in Amorsolo Open Parking lot beside Makati Medical Center. It is open every Wednesday to Friday 9pm to 3am. It opened last Friday November 25th.
Distrito is a project of Anton Diaz and partners. If you don't know Anton Diaz he's the man behind the website Our Awesome Planet (OAP) and also two popular night markets Mercato Centrale in Taguig and the newly opened night market in the south called Soderno. I am currently taking his Maven's Secrets course about Internet marketing. We've been talking about collaborating on some projects, so I guess this is just first of a few, so watch out for that.
Read More…Casa Santa is a Santa Claus Museum in Antipolo. It's located inside Jardin de Miramar compound (scroll down to see location in google map). The house where the Santa collections are displayed used to be the vacation house of business woman Ms. Edna del Rosario. She opened the house to the public so that she can share all her santa collections to the people.

Events | November 19, 2011 | 2087 Views
The Symphony of Lights and Sounds is an impressive display of Christmas lights that blink in harmony with famous Christmas songs. It happens in Ayala Triangle Gardens every year. I'm not sure what year it started but last year it was there. I work nearby so when we watched back then we just walked going there.
I usually leave the office after 10pm so when I pass by Ayala Triangle Gardens the lights are already off. The other day a couple of office mates invited me for a jog at the gardens around 9pm so I was able to catch the lights on and it looked nice from afar. The next day I decided to take my camera , watch the lights show and shoot a 360 of it.

50km, 80km - is anyone doing it?
I'm currently planning my 2013 race calendar and after hearing several mutterings from friends and having recently completed the Eco trail van Brussel - i'm really interested in this event.
Have any other forumites done it and can offer experience/advice? Are there any forumites planning to run it this year?
Poop. This is on my list, but I've gone and booked the Reading Half for next year...
I think James Adams wrote a good report for this one - yep it's here http://www.runningandstuff.com/blog/2010/3/22/eco-trail-de-paris.html.
Hope you have a better time than he did
I've heard it's excellent too
@PMO - I've been thinking about this race for a while and deciding between 50-80km. Thanks for that blog but the page isnt there....?
@James - are you considering it as well?
Try it without the full stop on the end Emmy : http://www.runningandstuff.com/blog/2010/3/22/eco-trail-de-paris.html
Also... 80k. You know you want to!
Lol - Thanks WiB - that's worked.
80km would be great but it's a long way
Agree with WiB, if you're going to do it do it all - unless you want to do it twice...
@WiB - have you done the 80km before? Can you give me some advice about the route? It's saying 90% trails -are they visible trails or is it lots of woodland with no distinct path?
Hi Emmy - I did the 50k this year, and friends did the 80k. Very well marked and amazed there was so much woodland close to the centre of Paris, quite hilly and this year was in the blazing hot weekend we had in March so felt quite tough. The last 10K or so is along the Seine which isn't the prettiest, but finishing at the Eiffel Tower was good, and for the 80Kers they got to run to the first floor of the tower, tough stuff. The trails are distinct, narrow in places so you are in single file, only a couple of aid stations so you need to be self supported. I was very good at fuelling up afterwards though! One tip, don't have any of their electrolyte drink, it tasted like an old people's home.
Hi Kate.
Thanks for the tips. Did your friends enjoy the 80km? I'm used to the 'self sufficiency' from this weekend but wanted to check as i've heard that there are 2-3 stops on the 50km route.
@RR - I was thinking of that. I'm worried about doing the full 80km as it's relatively close to Paris.
There are 2 stops from memory on the 50K, I think it didn't seem like many on the day as it was so hot. Mr F also used Paris' equivalent of a Boris bike to follow me round which was very amusing, but he was no use with refreshments as he turned up with half a roast chicken in his bike basket. My friends have enjoyed the 80K enough to do it twice.
Thanks for the info, Kate. I like the idea of having friends on a bike.... although where did he get half a roast chicken from? I presume that it was already cooked?

dc.description.abstract | This research project examined the views of Latina mothers living in Durham, North Carolina on four major ethical dilemmas surrounding HPV vaccine distribution: mandating the vaccine for school entry, vaccinating males as well as females, allowing adolescent access to the vaccine without parental permission and requiring the vaccine for new female immigrants to the United States. Forty-five self-identified Latina mothers living in Durham, NC participated in six focus groups conducted in Spanish between September – October 2009. Latina mothers showed high acceptance of the vaccine in general, but voiced low desire to vaccinate their own daughters. Participants also favored conservative approaches to its distribution. Mothers opposed a school mandate, believing parental and individual autonomy should be respected, but were in favor of vaccinating males to protect them from HPV and related diseases. Participants also believed parental consent should be required for adolescent vaccination, because parents have a right and responsibility to be involved in the decision. Lastly, Latina mothers disagreed with the immigrant requirement, calling it a form of discrimination and racism. Cultural factors did influence some of participants' views; however, the majority of opinions expressed were similar to those encountered in the literature for other groups. The HPV vaccine has the potential to reduce cervical cancer incidence among Latinos; however, mothers must be better informed about the vaccine, which could increase their desire to vaccinate their own daughters. The vaccine's affordability within the Latino community must also be considered. | en_US |

The LAV III armoured vehicle (AV) is the latest in the Generation III Light Armoured Vehicle (LAV) series of armoured cars built by General Dynamics Land Systems, entering service in 1999.[1] It is based on the Swiss MOWAG Piranha IIIH 8x8.[2]
It was developed in Canada and is the primary mechanized infantry vehicle of the Canadian Army and the New Zealand Army.[1]
By July 1991, the Canadian Armed Forces had identified the need to replace their aging fleet of 1960s and 1970s era armoured personnel carriers. As a result, $2.8 billion was earmarked for the Multi-Role Combat Vehicle (MRCV) project by the sitting Conservative government. The mandate of the MRCV project was to provide a series of vehicles based on a common chassis which would replace the M113 armored personnel carrier, Lynx reconnaissance vehicle, Grizzly armoured personnel carrier, and Bison armoured personnel carrier. The project was, however, deemed unaffordable and cancelled by March 1992.[3]
By 1994 after the Liberal Party had returned to government, the army was still in need of new vehicles. As a result, the army embarked on the Light Armoured Vehicle Project, which would adapt parts of the MRCV Project, and be implemented incrementally to spread out the costs. Also, the requirement to replace the Bisons was dropped. The first phase of the project saw the selection of the Coyote Reconnaissance Vehicle to replace the Lynx.
On August 16, 1995, it was announced that General Motors Diesel Division (later renamed GM Defense, and subsequently purchased by General Dynamics Land Systems of London, Ontario, had been awarded the contract to produce the LAV III which would replace the Grizzly and a large portion of the M113 armoured personnel carriers.[3] The LAV III would incorporate the turret and weapon system used with the Coyote (which was produced at the same location), and the latest, heaviest version of MOWAG's Piranha family which would be 'Canadianized' and built locally.
In July 2009, the Canadian Department of National Defence announced that $5 billion would be spent to enhance, replace and repair the army's armoured vehicles. Part of the spending would be used to replace and repair damaged LAV III's due to wear and tear from operations in Afghanistan. As much as 33 percent of the army's light armoured vehicles were out of service.[4] Furthermore, the LAV III's will be upgraded with improved protection and automotive components.[5] The Canadian Armed Forces has lost over 34 vehicles and 359 were damaged during the mission in Afghanistan. The Canadian army has lost 13 LAV's and more than 159 were damaged by roadside bombs or enemy fire.[6] Of the $5 billion announced, approximately 20% of it will be used to upgrade LAV III models. The upgrade will extend the LAV III life span to 2035. The remaining $4 billion is to be spent on a "new family of land combat vehicles".[7] The Department of National Defence considered the purchase of vehicles meant to accompany the Leopard 2 and to sustain the LAV III into combat. The CV90, the Puma (IFV) and the Véhicule blindé de combat d'infanterie were the most likely candidates for the role. A contract of 108 with an option for up to 30 more was considered,[8][9][10] but a combination of budget cuts and upgrades to the existing fleet of LAV IIIs have led the Canadian Army to cancel its order for 108 CV90s.[11]
On October 21, 2011 the Canadian government announced a $1.1 billion contract to General Dynamics Land Systems to upgrade 550 LAV III combat vehicles. The government said the upgrade is needed to improve protection against mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), which have been the cause of a number of Canadian deaths in Afghanistan. The improvements will also extend the service of the vehicles up to 2035 and will boost troop mobility.[12][13][14] The upgrades include a new and more powerful engine, increased armour protection, steering and brake systems. The turret hatches on the LAV III would be made larger and improved fire control, thermal, day and low-light sights, and data displays. The weight of the vehicle would increase from 38,000 pounds (17,000 kg) to 55,000 pounds (25,000 kg).[15][16] The first of 66 upgraded LAV IIIs was delivered on February 1, 2013.[17] The success of the upgrade program and budget pressures lead to the cancellation of the Close Combat Vehicle replacement program later that year.[18]
The LAV III is powered by a Caterpillar 3126 diesel engine developing 350 horsepower (260 kW), and can reach speeds of 100 kilometres per hour.[19] The vehicle is fitted with 8x8 drive and also equipped with a central tire inflation system, which allows it to adjust to different terrain, including off-road.[20][21] The LAV III is fitted with a modern anti-locking brake system (ABS) and a traction control system (TCS).[22] Unlike earlier versions of the LAV, the LAV III does not have amphibious capabilities.
The LAV III faces the same concerns that most other wheeled military vehicles face. Like all wheeled armoured vehicles, the LAV III's ground pressure is inherently higher than a tracked vehicle with a comparable weight. This is because tires will have less surface area in contact with the ground when compared to a tracked vehicle. Higher ground pressure results in an increased likelihood of sinking into soft terrain such as mud, snow and sand, leading to the vehicle becoming stuck. The lower ground pressure and improved traction offered by tracked vehicles also gives them an advantage over vehicles like the LAV III when it comes to managing slopes, trenches, and other obstacles.
The LAV III can somewhat compensate for these effects by deflating its tires slightly, meaning that the surface area in contact with the ground increases, and the ground pressure is slightly lowered.
However, wheels offer several advantages over tracked vehicles, including lower maintenance for both the vehicle and road infrastructure, quieter movement for improved stealth, greater speed over good terrain, and higher ground clearance for protection against mines and improvised explosive devices.
The LAV III's turret gives the vehicle a higher centre of gravity than the vehicle was initially designed for. This has led to concerns that the vehicle is more likely to roll over on uneven terrain.
While there have been several recorded rollovers (about 16),[23] the most common cause was found to be unstable terrain, specifically road shoulders unexpectedly giving away beneath the vehicle.[24] The weight balance of the LAV III is taken into consideration during driver training, largely mitigating the chances of a rollover.
The basic armour of the LAV III, covering the Standardization Agreement STANAG 4569 level III, which provides all-round protection against 7.62x51mm NATO small calibre rounds. A ceramic appliqué armour (MEXAS) can be added, which protects against 14.5x114mm heavy calibre rounds from 500 meters. In December 2008 the Government of Canada awarded EODC Engineering, Developing and Licencing Inc. C$81.5 million worth of contracts to provide for add-on-armour kits, modules and spares for its LAV III wheeled armoured personnel carriers.[25][26] This armour kit is intended to provide increased protection against improvised explosive devices (IED), explosively formed penetrators and 30 mm caliber armour piercing rounds.[25][27][28][29][30][31] The LAV III can be also fitted with cage armour, which provides protection against shaped charges. The LAV III is fitted with a nuclear, biological, chemical (NBC) filtration system accompanied with a GID-3 chemical detector and AN/VDR-2 radiation detector systems.[32] The LAV III was designed to produce a very low and very compact structure to minimize radar and IR-signatures. The LAV III also uses heat-absorbing filters to provide temporary protection against thermal imaging (TIS), image intensifiers and infrared cameras (IR). General Dynamics is in the process of integrating the LAV III with an active protection system[33] based on the Israeli Trophy system.[34]
The majority of Canadian casualties in Afghanistan have occurred during a patrol aboard a LAV III.[35] This can be explained by the fact that the LAV III is the most commonly used Canadian armoured personnel carrier in theatre, and simply represents a normal association between use and likelihood to encounter a mine or improvised explosive device.[36] The LAV III offers comparable or better protection than most other infantry carriers used in Afghanistan. In an effort to improve protection as a result of experiences in Afghanistan, future LAV III upgrades will likely include improved mine and IED protection.[37]
The LAV III is fitted with a two-man turret, armed with the M242 Bushmaster 25 mm caliber chain gun and a coaxial 7.62-mm machine gun. One more 5.56 mm or 7.62 mm machine guns is positioned on top of the turret. The LAV III also has eight 76-mm grenade launchers in two clusters of four launchers positioned on each side of the turret. The grenade launchers are intended for smoke grenades.[19] In 2009, a number of LAV III's were modified with a Nanuk remotely controlled weapon station (RCWS) to provide better protection and to increase the chances of survival of the crew against improvised explosive devices and anti-tank mine threats on the battlefield.[38]
The LAV III is equipped with a daytime optical Thermal Imaging System (TIS) and Generation III Image Intensification (II). The LAV III is equipped with a Tactical Navigation System (TacNav) to assist in navigation and target location tasks. The LAV III is equipped with a LCD monitor directly connected to the vehicle's external cameras, providing real-time images of the battlefield for the passengers.[19]
Service history[edit]
The LAV III and related versions have been used in the following.
- United Nations Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE)
- United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK)
- United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (UNMIBH)
- United Nations Mission in Haiti (UNMIH)
- War in Afghanistan (ISAF)
- 2009 Napier shootings
- Operation Lotus
- 2011 Christchurch Earthquake Response
- Colombian armed conflict
New Zealand[edit]
The New Zealand armed forces purchased 105 LAV. 102 were standard vehicles and 3 were LAV redesigned for recovery. In May 2009 two NZLAVs were deployed to support police during the 2009 Napier shootings. They defended police while they retrieved a fallen officer's body.
In November 2009 it was announced that three NZLAVs would be deployed to assist NZSAS operations in Afghanistan, and they were up-armoured.[39] In 2011 these three LAVs were moved to Bamyan to support the provincial reconstruction team there as they were no longer needed in Kabul due to reduced SAS numbers. Five additional LAVs were also flown to Bamyan. One has since been damaged by a roadside bomb. In May 2012 the New Zealand government announced that it may leave all these LAVs behind in Afghanistan for use by local forces when the New Zealand forces leave in 2013.[citation needed] As at November 2013 all of these deployed LAVs had been returned to New Zealand.

Make kxkb, xmodmap, and xkb work together
Whenever you switch layouts with kxkb, your xmodmap settings disappear and you cannot get them back. (For example, when trying to disable Caps Lock or mapping Caps Lock to some other key.)Keywords
kxkb, xmodmap, xkb, keyboard, layoutSolution
Sadly, in contrast to my many other howtos, there is no solution to this problem. The only "solution" is to forget about xmodmap and drink the xkb coolaid: define your own xkb map and convince kxkb to use it.I edited /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/us (because my change is a variation on a us keyboard layout) and added:
partial alphanumeric_keys xkb_symbols "thomer" { include "us" name[Group1]= "U.S. English - Thomer"; key <CAPS> { [ Escape ] }; };
Restart X.
Configure kxkb to use layout variant "thomer" (or whatever you named yours) when using the us keymap.
In this particular change, Caps Lock now works like Escape—for all you vi lovers out there.
In the good old xmodmap world, you would have been able to achieve this using:
xmodmap -e 'clear Lock' xmodmap -e 'keycode 66 = Escape'

great work. the long exposure delivered a very awesome effect here.
Aug 25th, 2013Thank you and for the fav. It isn't exactly a long exposure. I didn't have any filters with me and I could get a long enough speed so I set my camera to multiple exposure mode and fired off 9 shots at different intervals. The camera processes the exposures and VOILA! A psuedo long exposure...without the long wait!

Tips for transitioning to down rails
Old Schooler (fart) here. Just getting my first BS boardslides in on flat, low kids rails. Feeling decent for having done my last boardslide on a skateboard in the 80s. Let me tell you the grace and balance don't come as easy after 40, but I'm commmited.
I'm psyching myself to transition to down rails with ollie on approaches. I'm pretty content to keep it BS boardslides and 50-50s for now. I imagine it's even more crucial to have your body and board flat to the angle of the feature. Anyone have some wisdom to pass my way so I don't rack myself too bad? |

What's up man. 36 here and similar story. Down rails still scare me but one thing that really helps is getting comfortable hitting the easy ones fast and gapping onto them, even if you air over most of it and just slide the end. Really helps get the feeling of gap to down rail with less consequence. That way your landing on it instead if just riding on. Good luck man, some days are easier then others that's for sure lol.

I'm sure there are plenty of guys in their mid 40s able to hit rails like a champ, just took me awhile to realize I'm not one of them. I can blame it on my body aging, but I think it's most likely my balls aren't as big as they were 20 years ago. Much respect to you for your commitment and good luck. Would be interested to see a follow up post in the future with your progress. |

Re: Is it possible to install two different Hbase versions in the same Cluster?
Well, you could, however you run a greater risk of things breaking because you forgot to change a setting in the configuration file. You would have to change port listeners, location of config files, all sorts of things that you wouldn't have to change if you just segmented the nodes, different zk quorum and hmaster.
I mean the simple answer is sure, why not. But the longer answer is that you need to think more about what you want to do, why you want to do it, and what the least invasive way of doing it.

There were rumors abounding that Jessica Chastain was dating fellow redhead Tom Hiddleston, but alas, those rumors turned out to be false. However, for those following Chastain's love life, it seems that she has been keeping her current beau a secret. She was pictured a couple of weeks ago [can be seen here] on New Years Eve in NYC with her boyfriend, but as the pictures were taken from the back, it wasn't clear who the mystery man was. However, based on height and facial scruff, the man could be her 'Zero Dark Thirty' and 'Lawless' co-star Jason Clarke.
Chastain gave a special shout-out to Clarke during her Golden Globes acceptance speech, although she didn't single out any other actors from the cast. She has previously spoken about her desire to keep her romantic life private, and she has also said that she wouldn't date actors. Is she breaking her no-actor rule for Jason Clarke? We'll likely soon find out as Chastain's star is on the rise, and the unfortunate effect of that will be more paparazzi and public interest in her private life.
Chastain also recently spoke about winning the Golden Globe in an interview on the Today Show, saying, "I'm still you know, not quite used to it because it's been within this week. A friend of mine told me I should just walk around with [the Globe] leading me."
She also spoke about her new role in the upcoming 'Mama', saying, "I realized immediately I was getting type cast as the perfect mother, or the perfect devoted wife and it was like, the stubborn person in me was like, you cannot put me in a box. You can't type cast me. I'm gonna play a guitarist in a punk band, whose selfish and doesn't like kids."

I like taking the time to " smell the roses" looking for someone to share conversation and laugh .
My friends say I have a heart of gold. I will do anything for them, and I know they feel the same. I enjoy spending time with my family, especially my niece and nephew. I hope to one day have kids of my own. I know people say that they enjoy spending time with family, but I truly love and enjoy spending time with mine. I hope I find someone who feels the same way. When I have time, I like to go to new places. I love a good road trip. I will warn you, I make my friends eat their bananas outside of my car...I don't like the smell of bananas. I know that sounds quirky, but I am generally easy going. I don't stress over the little things, and I help my friends and family to relax. The funniest moments come when you don't expect them, and every day events make me laugh. I love to people watch; I could spend hours at the mall watching groups walk by.

Video Feature: Discovering the Edgier Side of Ukulele
Eight talented musicians take the ukulele to sonic places it's never been before!
Related Content
Inge Chiles is the creative mind behind the group Ings. Yes, she's a girl who plays ukulele and sings, but she's definitely more than that. She's got artistic vision. The addition of a full band (including dreamy electric guitars and reverb-drenched tambourine) to her doubled vocals and occasional tinkling of bells is a convincing argument for the use of the ukulele in indie alternative music.

If you could make a new Sailor Moon series called Sailor Moon GX, what would be some of the things that you would include? I would use the music for the intro to Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia for the intro of the show. Also, I'd change Queen Beryl to a good person that was redeemed from evil. She would become Sailor Redemption. I'd also include my Sailor Heroes as new characters. The intro for the second season, Sailor Moon GX: Dracula's Return, will have the music from the intro of Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. The third season, Sailor Moon GX: Legend of the Soul Swords, will feature an intro with the intro music from Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. Yes, Dracula is the supreme bad guy of all three seasons.
When showing what happened before, the first season's music will be from Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. I don't know about the other seasons yet.
I don't know what to do for the first episode of each season except for Sailor Moon GX: Dracula's Return. After the introduction, from Order of Ecclesia will play. As it plays, Julie will say the following:
"Returning to life time and again since the ancient middle ages, the evil lord Dracula has driven people to terror. Each time Dracula returned from the dead, the Belmont clan fought him in the shadows, wielding the holy whip. Through their efforts, humanity avoided the darkness, securing prosperity. But early in 2009, having lost their ability to resist the darkness, those in positions of power at the time began to search for new ways to counter Dracula. I, Julie, was chosen then to be one of those countermeasures. Many people were trained with the same goal, and day after day they conducted their studies diligently, but even though they did their best, each one failed to produce satisfactory results. But that was when Ciel, my sister, finally made a surprising breakthrough that could stand up against Dracula."

Carriers Unsure When Air Shipping Will Resume
Major shippers on Tuesday couldn't indicate when they would resume air shipping because of orders by the Federal Aviation Administration.Pam Roberson, spokeswoman for FedEx, Memphis, TN, said her company -- for the time being -- was rerouting U.S. air packages to ground shipping in cases where that method would accomplish delivery in decent time.
The FAA is restricting FedEx and other carriers such as the U.S. Postal Service and United Parcel Service from employing air delivery. The FAA was not available for comment on when the stall would end.
Meanwhile, the USPS closed its Washington offices in lieu of the terrorist attacks, and a spokewoman said the agency "is in a state of emergency."

KCWC day 1
Last night I got sewing on a pattern I bought ages ago but hadn't made yet, Heidi & Finn's 'Urban Unisex Hoodie'. I bought the pattern with my little girl in mind but she's such a girly girl (skirts, dresses, pretty shoes etc) that I don't think she'd wear one of these. But it looks perfect for my active boy.
I had hoped to finish it last night, but after a day of looking after 5 kids (my friend's lovely 2 girls along with my 3) I had to admit defeat. I'm hoping to finish it tonight, so maybe I'll have some photos tomorrow.
Are you participating in KCWC? How's it going if you are? There are so many things I'd like to make but restricted time - ah well, something is better than nothing, right? :-)
* And thanks to the lovely Fran I'm dying to make another Heidi & Finn pattern - the Cowl Neck Jumper Dress. My little girl would adore it but perhaps it will need to wait til after her brother gets his winter wardrobe sorted.
7 comments:
I love the colours you've chosen for your little boys hoodie - so earthy & woodland-y. I'm a huge fan of this hoodie pattern - it looks so cute on, and my littlest boy wears his two all the time. I've also got the Cowl Neck Jumper Dress in my inbox..waiting for me to have a play with for a friend's little girl (mine's too big at 8!). Happy sewing!
ReplyDeleteI've been eyeing this pattern for a while - it's so cute! - but Joe won't wear any kind of sweatshirt even on really cold days, so I'm afraid I'd spend a ton of time making something really great he wouldn't wear. Sigh.
I love the green with brown lining and wood buttons - I agree with Kelly, it's very woodland elf! Super cute.
My KCWC is off to a slow start, but I did get a little bit done yesterday.

From: | Dave Smith <email@example.com> |
Date: | Wed, 7 Oct 1998 12:45:08 -0700 |
Please excuse this extremely "new user" question. I read through the HOWTO for creating a floppy disk with MILO and VMLINUX on it, but the instructions don't indicate where to find the VMLINUX image. I downloaded MILO 0.27 and I also downloaded the 2.1.36 kernel distribution, but the distribution didn't include a binary image and I don't have the compiler tools to rebuild the kernel image. Am I going to need to download and configure the cross compiler just to build the VMLINUX image so that I can boot from floppy? I do not have any other Linux system available right now. If it's available, could you please point me to a binary image of VMLINUX for an NEC RISCServer 4200? If the image is actually available in the kernel distribution I downloaded, please just tell me where I can find it. Thank You, Dave Smith Future Linux Mips User |

An ongoing federal investigation has zeroed in on FBI informant- turned-serial-killer Scott Kimball as a potential suspect in "several" unsolved disappearances, The Denver Post has learned.
The disclosure was made by the FBI as part of its effort to block the release of a 40-page internal report dissecting its hand ling of the Kimball case.
Various officials have said publicly in recent years that they believed Kimball could have other victims, but the disclosure is the first confirmation that investigators are looking at specific cases.
The status of the ongoing investigations was outlined by Boulder District Attorney Stan Garnett when he denied The Post access to the 40-page memorandum described as an "FBI Human Source Validation Report." The Post has sought the document, which Garnett's office obtained during the successful prosecution of Kimball for four killings, under Colorado open-records laws.
The FBI objected to the release, convincing Garnett that making it public could imperil ongoing investigations.
"Obviously, we don't want to do anything to jeopardize those investigations, because prosecuting Scott Kimball's been a top priority with us," Garnett said.
Kimball, 43, is serving a 70-year sentence for four murders committed after he was released from federal prison in December 2002 to act as an FBI informant. He's also serving 48 years for fraud and 70 months on a federal gun charge.
Kimball, a lifelong con man with four felony convictions, was released from prison on Dec. 18, 2002, to act as an FBI informant after convincing federal agents that his cellmate, Steve Ennis, had asked him to kill a witness in a drug case.
Less than a month later, LeAnn Emry, 24, vanished. Ennis' girlfriend, Jennifer Marcum, 25, disappeared a month after that, and Kaysi McLeod, 19, went missing in August 2003. Then, sometime in mid-2004, Kimball's uncle, Terry Kimball, 60, vanished.
Scott Kimball was the last to see each of them alive.
In early 2006, after Kimball was named a suspect in yet another check-fraud case, he fled to California, where he was arrested after a televised car chase and standoff. That same year, the fathers of McLeod and Marcum pressed the FBI for a new investigation, and Kimball's elaborate web began to unravel. He ultimately agreed to plead guilty to second-degree murder in the four killings.
A hunter found McLeod's remains in a forest in Jackson County in north-central Colorado in 2007, and Kimball eventually led authorities to Emry's body in a Utah canyon and to his uncle's remains in a forest near Vail Pass.
He has never revealed the location of Marcum's body.
The news that investigators consider him a potential suspect in other disappearances came after The Post fought for two months for the release of documents. The FBI initially sought to block the release by demanding that Garnett's office return the documents. After Garnett refused, the FBI shared with his office details of the investigations, convincing him to withhold the report.
Under Colorado law, Garnett was required to detail a specific reason for withholding the report. The reason was outlined in a letter from Assistant District Attorney Christopher Zenisek: "the FBI informed us of ongoing investigations related to several missing persons, and it informed us specifically how disclosure of this document could harm those investigations."
It is not clear whether any of the ongoing investigations center on a Colorado case. Dave Joly, spokesman for the FBI in Denver, said he was unable to comment on an ongoing investigation.
Garnett noted that "Kimball has been active and has traveled a lot as he's been involved in these cases."
Among the documents that were released by Garnett's office is a page of handwritten notes detailing Kimball's travels in early 2003. According to that paper, he traveled to Wyoming, California, Washington, Montana and Alaska — and various parts of Colorado — between January and June 2003.
