asking if a child is adopted
No Fo Pa says: This all depends in the delivery of the question, it can be asked in a friendly way.
2 Responses to "asking if a child is adopted"
I have to admit that when I see a child tha looks to be a different ethnicity than the parent, I assume it's adopted and you know what happens when you assume! Having a niece and nephew that are half caucasian half Japanese, I should know better. But I would NEVER ask!! But do agree, it's all in the delivery as to whether it's offensive or not!
I personally get asked this question a lot because both of my children are half asian. I do not take offense to the question because there is a good reason why people ask me. I think is better to just not ask because you never know if someone might take offense. I think it all depends on the parent of the child in question. To me it is no big deal but to someone else it could be very offensive.

Interesting insight. I'm really curious about the Elite's training regiments and "what it takes" to be the best. If it wasn't so personal/closely guarded among the top guys, it would be cool to get a couple more interviews. But Jared is definitely an exception to the rule, as he has done so much relating to fitness and the different goals. 92kgs to 78kgs is a huge and impressive swing.

Facebook Updates the Golan's Status
Residents can now identify as Israeli
Control of the Golan Heights may be disputed between Syria and Israel, but as far Facebook was concerned, there was no argument: if you lived there, your profile said you lived in Syria. This was true even if you lived in the two-thirds of the Golan's 690 square miles that Israel has claimed and de facto governed since the 1967 War. This state of affairs upset Toronto-based nonprofit Honest Reporting, especially because, in the Golan, the personal is also political: the area is considered strategically crucial. So the group started a protest—led, naturally, by a Facebook page titled, "Facebook, Golan Residents Live in Israel, not Syria"—and, what do you know? On Wednesday, Honest Reporting noted that Facebook changed its policy so that Golan residents can now select cities listed as being in Israel as their hometowns. (The West Bank operates similarly in this cyberworld.)
"We deal with the listings for disputed territories on a case-by-case basis, and with Golan Heights we decided a dual listing made sense," a Facebook spokesperson told Tablet Magazine yesterday. "It's fair to say that we listen to our users and to feedback they give us, but we approach these decisions carefully, and only make changes where it makes sense to do so, as it did in this instance." We're sure that the 39,000 folks—according to Wikipedia—who live in Israel-controlled Golan appreciate that.

The trust between the dancers and choreographer, the role of the dramaturg and how you can use movement to convey the language of Virginia Woolf were just some of the topics discussed at a recent Woolf Works In Conversation event, in which writer Bonnie Greer hosted a discussion with choreographer Wayne McGregor, dramaturg Uzma Hameed and Royal Ballet dancers Alessandra Ferri and Federico Bonelli.
Woolf Works, the first full-length piece Wayne has created on The Royal Ballet, draws on three of Virginia Woolf's best-loved novels – Mrs Dalloway, Orlando and The Waves – as well as extracts of her autobiographical writings, to capture her unique way of representing the world.
'The reason we wanted to do this is because we have a real love of Woolf. Not only the novels and her writings – which have an amazing beauty and poetry – but her process of writing, which is analagous to the process of choreography', says Wayne. 'The idea of Woolf's stream of consciousness is something that you get in a studio with dancers – when one idea just pours out of you into the next, there is a sense of unfolding while you are making.'
Set to a newly commissioned score by Max Richter, the ballet brings together a unique creative team, including architectural studios Ciguë and We Not I, designers Lucy Carter (lighting), Ravi Deepres (film), Chris Ekers (sound) and Moritz Junge (costume), and make-up artist Kabuki, and involves a wide range of Principals and corps de ballet dancers. Watch films we captured of Wayne rehearsing with Edward Watson, and with Alessandra Ferri and Federico Bonelli.
Former Royal Ballet Principal Alessandra Ferri, who has returned to the Company as a Guest Artist for the production, embodies both Virginia Woolf and her creation Clarissa Dalloway in the ballet.
'I feel that we are exploring the emotions that her writing creates in us', says Alessandra. 'We are not telling a specific story, but we are exploring her world.'
Find out more about Woolf Works in our Ballet Essentials article.
We recently held an #ROHWoolf Instameet, for which we invited top Instagrammers to photograph preparations for the ballet. View a selection of behind-the-scenes images.

Woolf Works, Wayne McGregor's first full-length narrative work for The Royal Ballet, will have its world premiere on 11 May. The ballet, set to a newly commissioned score by Max Richter, draws on three of Woolf's best-loved novels – Mrs Dalloway, Orlando and The Waves – as well as extracts of her autobiographical writings.
Alessandra Ferri, who began her career with The Royal Ballet, returns as a Guest Artist to create the role of Virginia Woolf/Clarissa Dalloway in the production. In the third act, she is partnered by Royal Ballet Principal Federico Bonelli, who has worked on a number of Wayne's Royal Ballet productions over the past nine years, creating roles in Chroma, Live Fire Exercise and Tetractys – The Art of Fugue.
'We've been working on the beginning of the third act, which comes from Virginia's The Waves', says Wayne. 'What's interesting about what Max has written for this act, is that it starts extraordinarily quietly. It's like a thick wedge that opens out and gets fuller, becoming epic by the end. The duet is very fluid, and is really about an exchange of weight.'
The ballet is created on a wide range of Principals and corps de ballet dancers. Watch a rehearsal with Edward Watson.

On 25 February 2015, Covent Garden will host the Life Reimagined Gala, a very special event in aid of the Royal Opera House Covent Garden Foundation, the charity that supports the performances, craftsmanship and Learning and Participation projects of the ROH.
The gala will feature stars of The Royal Ballet and internationally acclaimed singers including Bryn Terfel, Eva-Maria Westbroek and Toby Spence alongside Jette Parker Young Artists, the Youth Opera Company and Chance to Dance Company in a bespoke programme that embraces the spectrum of talent at Covent Garden.
'For The Royal Ballet, the Gala offers a wonderful opportunity to showcase The Royal Ballet organization in its entirety; from the youngest members of our Chance to Dance Company, to students from the Lower and Upper Royal Ballet School and the dancers of The Royal Ballet including many of its Principal dancers,' says Director of The Royal Ballet Kevin O'Hare.
As well as excerpts from some popular and familiar works there will be an opportunity for ballet fans to see new work created especially for the occasion. Artist in Residence Liam Scarlett has taken inspiration from Gershwin's Summertime to create an evocative pas de deux for Principals Zenaida Yanowsky and Matthew Golding, and Kim Brandstrup has turned to the delicacy of Purcell's Fairy Queen for his piece performed by Principals Laura Morera and Federico Bonelli as well as a Royal Opera Jette Parker Young Artist, soprano Lauren Fagan.
'I am delighted that we are also able to stage, for the first time, the pas de deux from the National Theatre and Cameron Mackintosh's highly-acclaimed production of Carousel. Choreographed by Kenneth MacMillan in 1992, it was to be the last piece of choreography that he created before his untimely death, and will be danced in the gala by Sarah Lamb and Carlos Acosta. It promises to be a joyous and truly unique evening.'
Director of The Royal Opera, Kasper Holten, is equally excited about the event:
'It is always a thrill to work on one of the whole-house galas as it really brings us out of our comfort zone of doing productions as we are used to and are forced to think about how we can put something very special together for the audience and to showcase what ROH is really about. Whereas we are proud to be working alongside The Royal Ballet every day all year, there is something special about coming together artistically, and really thinking about what image we want to project of ROH.
'Galas can be difficult to make truly exciting for opera, as even when we land wonderful singers, we lack all the other ingredients that makes opera so overwhelming: the staging, the costumes, and other elements of the production. For this gala, we want to really try to push opera forward and make it look – as well as sound - spectacular in these circumstances. When I worked with the amazing video designer Luke Halls on Don Giovanni last year, it was clear to me that, with advances in technology and an artistic brain like Luke's, video can now help us make a fascinating visual evening in addition to securing great singers.'
One late addition to The Royal Opera's gala line-up is Aleksandrs Antonenko:
'When our other tenor had to withdraw recently for personal reasons, we had not dared hope we would manage to secure one of the world's leading tenors on such short notice,' says Kasper. 'Since he blew us all away with his Otello in Summer 2012, it has been clear that he is a world star, and we are delighted that he will join the gala.'
The Life Reimagined Gala will take place on 25 February 2015. Tickets are still available.
All proceeds go to the Royal Opera House Covent Garden Foundation, a registered charity that supports the outstanding performances, remarkable craftsmanship and inspiring Learning and Participation projects of the Royal Opera House.]]>
The inaugural Ann Maguire Gala performance hosted by Darcey Bussell and Jonathan Cope will feature an array of stars from the world of ballet in an evening of dance and music in support of the Ann Maguire Arts Education Fund.
Emma Maguire says: 'My mother was an inspirational teacher for generations of young people in Leeds. As a family we felt that setting up a charity that continues her dedication to helping young people is what she would have wanted. We are eternally grateful to all the artists that have come together to make the inaugural Ann Maguire Gala possible, an event which not only launches a new charity but will honour our mother.'
Featuring divertissements from the classical ballet repertoire including works by Frederick Ashton and Kenneth MacMillan, the evening will also include pieces by Royal Ballet Artist in Residence Liam Scarlett and Director of the National Romanian Ballet Company Johan Kobborg alongside world premieres by Alastair Marriott and Jonathan Watkins with a special guest appearance by the Hackney Colliery Band. The evening will also include spoken reflections personally written by the dancers taking part.
The Gala will include Frederick Ashton's Monotones II and extracts from Ashton's Rhapsody and Kenneth MacMillan's Concerto and Requiem featuring soprano Madeleine Pierard. The second movement from Liam Scarlett's Asphodel Meadows and contemporary work by Rambert dancer and choreographer Miguel Altunaga will also be performed. Royal Ballet Principal Steven McRae will dance the London premiere of his tap solo Czardas and Johan Kobborg's Les Lutins, accompanied by Concert-master of the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House Vasko Vassilev on the violin, will be danced by Emma Maguire and fellow members of The Royal Ballet Marcelino Sambé and Valentino Zucchetti.
Artists from The Royal Ballet also taking part include Sarah Lamb, Laura Morera, Yuhui Choe, Helen Crawford, Melissa Hamilton, Christina Arestis, Laura McCulloch, Claire Calvert, Kristen McNally, Federico Bonelli, Edward Watson, Nehemiah Kish, Gary Avis, Alexander Campbell, Ryoichi Hirano, Bennet Gartside, Luca Acri and Vadim Muntagirov. Alina Cojocaru of English National Ballet and Johan Kobborg will also appear.
Musical accompaniments throughout the evening will be provided by Royal Ballet pianists Kate Shipway and Robert Clark.
Tickets for the Ann Maguire Gala are available via the Sadler's Wells Website.
The Ann Maguire Arts Education Fund supports the development of young people through arts education. Proceeds from the gala will go towards the fund, which has been set up by the Maguire family.]]>

What did you think of Manon in cinemas?
The next Royal Opera House live cinema relay is I due Foscari, simulcast on 27 October 2014.
Find your nearest cinema and sign up to our mailing list.
Kenneth MacMillan's Royal Ballet production of Manon was relayed live to cinemas around the world on 16 October 2014.
The relay, presented by Darcey Bussell, featured a series of backstage films, including rehearsal footage and interviews with members of the cast and creative team.
If you missed the screening on the night, or just want to find out more about the ballet, here are the films again:
Members of the cast and creative team on the choreography and characters in Manon
'There is a lot of slow movement but there is a lot of meaning in it,' says Ricardo Cervera who plays Lescaut in the ballet. 'You're watching real art in motion, it's not just choreography put to music, or music over choreography. It's just completely married and very emotional to watch, as well as to perform.'
Watch performers Marianela Nuñez, Federico Bonelli, Ricardo Cervera, and Christopher Saunders, with Julie Lincoln – stager of MacMillan ballets – introduce Manon.
Marianela Nuñez and Federico Bonelli introduce Act Three of Manon
'Manon is lucky that she has got this incredible man next to her, who is until the end trying to make her understand what life is about. He's forgiving and he's trying to keep her alive,' says Marianela.
'It's not acting anymore, it's quite real. It's the desperation of Des Grieux who is still hoping that they will find a way through and they can live happily together,' says Federico.
Watch Royal Ballet Principals Marianela Nuñez and Federico Bonelli rehearse the final act of Manon and talk about the journey of their characters through the ballet.
Darcey Bussell and Deborah MacMillan discuss Kenneth MacMillan's Manon
'The structure of the three acts is like a 19th-century ballet but it breaks new ground,' says Deborah MacMillan - the choreographer's wife - of the premiere of Kenneth MacMillan's Manon in 1974. 'He was dealing with flawed characters, human characters, not fairy tale characters. And that was tough at that time because ballet was still stuck in a classicism that wasn't prepared to move forward.'
Watch former Royal Ballet Principal Darcey Bussell and Deborah MacMillan discuss the choregrapher's career, creative process and ballet masterpiece Manon.
The Royal Opera House Cinema Season broadcasts performances to 1,300 cinemas in 30 countries around the world. The next live relay of 2014/15 will be The Royal Opera's I due Foscari on 27 October. Sign up to our cinema mailing list here.

The Cast

The performance is conducted by Martin Yates.
Watch Marianela Nuñez and Federico Bonelli talking about their roles during World Ballet Day:
The Story
Based on an 18th-century novel by Abbé Prévost, Manon is a tragic love story about an innocent girl who is drawn away from the man she loves by her desire for wealth and luxury.
'From the start of the ballet to the end, the journey is so clear for Manon,' says Marianela, 'You really can get lost in the story and forget who you are for those three hours.'
5 things you need to know about Kenneth MacMillan's Manon.
The Production
Kenneth MacMillan's Manon first had its premiere on 7 March 1974, with the lead roles of Manon and Des Grieux danced by Antoinette Sibley and Anthony Dowell. The ballet has since become a staple of The Royal Ballet's repertory, with this current run marking the production's 40th anniversary.

Boise State Favorite
Salt Lake City, UT - Defending champion Boise State has been picked to repeat in the Western Athletic Conference.
The Broncos went 8-0 in the conference last fall and has won six of the last seven WAC titles. Boise State was No. 1 in both the coaches' and media polls released Wednesday as the WAC media days opened in Salt Lake City.
Boise State received all but one No. 1 vote by the coaches, who were not allowed to vote for their own team. Nevada was picked second and received the only other No. 1 vote in the coaches' poll. Fresno State and Louisiana Tech tied for No. 3 in the coaches' poll.

Liverpool's club-record signing Andy Carroll could be set for his debut in the game.
The 22-year-old, who completed a £35million move from Newcastle on deadline day, has been edging nearer to full fitness from a thigh injury which has sidelined him since late December and is finally close to inclusion in the squad.
Defenders Daniel Agger and Fabio Aurelio (both thigh) are set to return after missing last weekend's defeat at West Ham, while midfielder Raul Meireles is expected to be fit after coming off at Upton Park with a minor knee problem.
Martin Kelly has been ruled out for a month with a hamstring tear so Kenny Dalglish is likely to switch Glen Johnson back to the right side of defence.
Wes Brown is set to make only his third Premier League start of the season at Anfield.
With skipper Nemanja Vidic suspended and Rio Ferdinand still to recover from a calf injury, Brown looks poised to partner Chris Smalling in central defence for the leaders.
Otherwise, Sir Alex Ferguson looks set to rely on the players who performed well in the first half at Chelsea only to suffer their second defeat of the season thanks to two second-half strikes.
Liverpool (from): Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Skrtel, Aurelio, Lucas, Gerrard, Kuyt, Meireles, Rodriguez, Suarez, Gulacsi, Wilson, Poulsen, Cole, Carroll, Ngog, Spearing.
Man United (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Lindegaard, O'Shea, Rafael, Smalling, Brown, Evra, Fabio, Nani, Carrick, Fletcher, Scholes, Gibson, Giggs, Obertan, Bebe, Berbatov, Hernandez, Rooney.

One of the most important measures of a book is whether you understand and care about the characters. By the time you finish Spit Delaney's Island, you will feel like you know the folks who inhabit the stories, and you will be saddened by their tragedies and overjoyed by their triumphs. Hodgins peoples his stories with characters that could have come from your own life, or at least that you will wish did.
The stories in this volume, and indeed much of Hodgins' work, are set on the section of Vancouver Island where the author grew up. Their stories rise organically through Hodgins clear, exquisite prose. These are not loud stories, but they resonate with the strength of precise observation and the wonderful talent to tell a tale in which the reader cannot help but empathize with and indeed root for the characters.
If you enjoy this book, you should also check out the Barclay Family Theatre, and selection of stories by Hodgins.

The Family
Apostle Doctor Christian and Apostle Doctor Robin Harfouche, along with their daughter, Christie Amira, and their son, Reverend John, have inundated the nations of the world with the living Word of God and dynamic demonstrations of the Holy Spirit and power.
As they travel around the world, they have found searching and seeking hearts everywhere. In the Far East, Europe, Africa or America – everywhere their feet have traveled on this earth– there is a common cry in the hearts and lives of people, searching and looking for an answer.
The Vision
Preaching, Teaching, and Healing
"In 1979 God used the words of Luke 4:18 to call me into the ministry. Today, my family and I continue to hold these words in the core of our hearts as we utilize every means necessary to preach, teach, and heal all that we come in contact with. Whether it is by igniting the fire of revival in various cities across the globe, training and equipping believers to walk in the miraculous, or providing food and aid to those in need, we run full force after the mandate God has put deep within our hearts." - Apoistle Doctor Christian Harfouche
The Ministries
Diversities of Ministries, One Spirit
Whether we are ministering the Gospel to the lost through crusades and miracle meetings, equipping believers through training schools and seminars, or distributing food and goods to the those in need, our motivation is the same – to display the love of our savior and Lord.
God has given us many tools to effect this world through His will and see His Kingdom come with power.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released veteran quarterback Troy Smith, a former Ohio State star who won the 2006 Heisman Trophy. Smith signed with the Steelers earlier this year. He has also spent time with the Omaha Nighthawks (2011) of the United Football League, the San Francisco 49ers (2010) and the Baltimore Ravens (2007-2009). The Ravens drafted him in the fifth round (174th overall) of the 2007 draft. Smith played in 20 NFL games with eight career starts. He led Ohio State to a 12-0 record and the No. 1 ranking in 2006 before the Buckeyes were beaten 41-14 by Florida in the Bowl Championship Series title game in Glendale, Ariz. Smith threw 54 TD passes in his career, third best at Ohio State.

From the Publisher"A mini-classic, indispensible for those who are interested in thehistory and future of the nation-state and the internationalsystem. Essential."
"An excellent book ... all the more remarkable because inspite of its relative brevity it addresses its theme in a mannercharacterized among other things by its [chronological,geographical and theoretical] scope ... It is also characterized byan exacting methodological approach [and] contributes significantlyto the reader's understanding of the matters hediscusses."
Gianfranco Poggi,Sociologica
"In this highly readable and informative book, RichardLachmann provides a wide-ranging survey over 500 years of stateformation and transformation. He covers many epochs and fivecontinents, addresses many theorists and numerous forms of stateand regime, and explores multiple aspects of state capacities fromwar-making and taxation through public works and social benefits tochanging forms of political legitimacy. Beginning with the distantorigins of states, States and Power ends with informedspeculation on the likely future of states and the state system. Inshort, this is an excellent introduction to a complex topic inhistorical sociology."
Bob Jessop, Lancaster University
"This book is concise, marvelously erudite and clearly written.Lachmann succeeds in presenting both the diverse theoreticalconstructs regarding state power and the analytically organizedhistorical narratives which flesh out his own syntheticunderstanding of state power. To the best of my knowledge,Lachmann's achievement has no peer - States and Power hasall the elements of an intellectual bestseller."

From the Publisher"Take one vindictive aging tycoon and three charismatic, ambitious sons; add one naïve heiress, one aspiring R&B diva, one British (titled, natch) lady of the house; throw in a dash of Russian mafia, kinky sex and a pinch of rap mogul, fabulous locations and a sprinkling of murders, and you have the ingredients for a fast-paced, glamour-heavy Collins extravaganza…the ever-stylin' Collins manages to tie the scattered plot lines together into another page-turning tale packed with intrigue, revenge and romance for her St. Martin's debut."-Publishers Weekly
"Vintage Collins here: Sex, love, betrayal, and deception. Her fans will certainly enjoy."
"Power, money and sex in the lives of America's beautiful people…bartender, pour us a dirty martini and keep them coming. This is vintage Jackie Collins and we'll be here 'til closing."

"Escapism doesn't come racier than Jackie Collins."-YOU magazine (UK)

"Jackie at her very best. The plot has more twists and turns than Sunset Boulevard and is faster than a Ferrari on a Los Angeles freeway. Her style is pure escapism, her heroines strong and ambitious, and her men, well, like the book they'll keep you up all night. In her novels Jackie's taught women how to get their man, keep him, get to the top, and stay there."

At his opening press conference on Tuesday, new Southern Miss coach Todd Monken vowed to "keep the recruits we have?and steal some."
Monken is still in the process of building his coaching staff, but his coaches have already hit the ground running trying to back up that promise. New assistant John Wozniak, who was the special teams analyst for Alabama last year, took in the Mississippi afternoon practice on Thursday, the third day of practice for the Mississippi-Alabama All-Star Classic.
On the Mississippi roster, Wozniak got a chance to watch four players that committed to Southern Miss ...

Regner: Wings coach Babcock earned right to wait and see
AUG 21, 2014 10:28a ET
Mike Babcock, a 1986 graduate of McGill University in Quebec, Canada, moved to Great Britain to become a player-coach with the Whitley Warriors in 1987.
In just 49 games for the Warriors, he had 45 goals and an astounding 127 assists to go along with 123 penalty minutes. And Babcock's team finished the year two points away from winning the league title.
It was his first coaching stint, and the following year he left England to become the head coach at Red Deer College in Alberta, Canada, where he spent three years and won the Provincial Collegiate championship and coach of the year honors in 1989.
From Red Deer College, Babcock moved on to coach the Moose Jaw Warriors of the Western Hockey League for two years, spent the next year (1993-94) as the coach at Lethbridge College in Alberta, Canada, and then returned to the WHL to coach the Spokane Chiefs, where he spent six seasons (1995-96 through 1999-2000).
His first professional coaching job -- Whitley doesn't count -- was with Anaheim's American Hockey League affiliate, the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks, where Babcock spent two season (2000-02) before being named head coach of the Mighty Ducks.
After two seasons at the helm in Anaheim (2002-04), where he came within a game of winning the 2003 Stanley Cup, Babcock chose not to return to the Mighty Ducks after the 2004-05 NHL lockout.
Instead, he became Red Wings coach in July 2005 and has been in Detroit ever since.
How much longer Babcock stays here is a question that's been talked about a lot lately because the upcoming season is the final one on his current contract.
He's roamed Europe, Canada and the United States as a head coach -- from Whitley to Detroit -- and his teams at each stop have been extremely successful. As a result, his reputation has also blossomed.
Babcock has worked his tail off to be where he is today -- on the cusp of being a coveted free agent in 2015.
If I were Babcock, I wouldn't sign an extension with the Wings right now. He owes it to himself and his family to explore every option that comes his way before he signs anything.
Babcock's next deal is a culmination of a lifetime of hard work, and he's about to be paid back for a nomadic coaching lifestyle that's seen him constantly uproot himself and his family.
Over the last 27 years, Babcock has lived in England, several Canadian provinces and four U.S. states.
His ship is about to come in, and he'll dictate his next -- and, in all likelihood, his final -- NHL coaching destination.
That's not to say that Babcock is signed, sealed and delivered out of Detroit. He likes it here and has a good working relationship with Wings GM Ken Holland. And perhaps last season's forced youth movement has rejuvenated his desire to stay in Detroit.
"I am not overly concerned because of my relationship with Mike Babcock," Holland told me about Babcock's contract situation. "I'm the manager and he's the coach, but I would say he's also a friend. We work well together. We have a great relationship.
"It will get done when it gets done. We'll sit down in September and hopefully find a solution. And if not, Mike and I will have an open, great relationship, and we'll continue to talk about it as we go along. I'm confident we'll find a solution to keep Mike."
Unfortunately for the Wings, it's not their decision. They want Babcock back, but a lot of NHL teams will line up to give their sales pitch.
Who knows? Maybe Babcock's nomadic spirit is restless once again.
If we've learned anything about Babcock's coaching career, he isn't afraid to make a move.

Help Logistics of Moving Aboard!
Ed, IMO it''s pretty tough to easily generalize about what the used boat marketplace can provide you. Instead, I''d suggest you plan on rolling up your sleeves and plan a lengthy visit or two in coastal areas - either before you move or after - finding out what is offered at the time you are looking. Real estate ads come to mind when I think of boat listings...
But I would like to challenge a couple of specifics on your ''what I want'' list. First, I don''t think it makes a lot of sense to put a certain electronics inventory on your ''must have'' A list. These days electronics are relatively cheap, interfacing issues (and therefore compatibility) is important, it''s easy to find you have more than you might need as you start out, and you''ll be looking at upgrade paths if your cruising takes you incrementally further from home. For all those reasons, whatever any boat might have will most likely need to be tweaked by you anyway. When you look at adding an HVAC system (for Florida), a robust, liveaboard DC electrical system, or just replacing the cushions & foam that you''ll be living with 24/7, a full suite of new electronics won''t seem hugely expensive by comparison...so I suggest you not make it part of your A list of priorities.
The other challenge has to do with refrigeration. If you do choose Florida (and potentially the islands) as your initial cruising grounds - as opposed e.g. to the Northwest or Great Lakes - then the reliability and efficiency of your reefer system could potentially have more impact on your lifestyle afloat (amount of battery charging and therefore engine servicing, storage room for desired amp/hr capacity, repair history) than any other single system. OTOH you''ll often find boats being offered with simple evaporator bin-type DC systems that require lots of amps but of course are easy to live with when one keeps the BYC (Big Yellow Cord) plugged in. As with electronics, you may well find that whatever the other attributes of a given boat, the reefer (and it''s box construction) won''t measure up to the demands of a long-term liveaboard lifestyle in a sub-tropical climate. It''s great that you posted your vocational info for us to see and you''re absolutely right - those trade skills will come in mighty handy to all the other boats in your anchorages <g>...and you, too. I''d just suggest that you might find the reefer is also one of those change-out activities that, sooner or later, will be unavoidable, and therefore might lie a bit lower on your ''A'' list, as well.
Good luck on the adventure. It''s a blast!

#01. St Xavier's principal criticizes Gujarat model, warns students against "communal forces"

#02. Setting a bad example: Cricketers and Bollywood stars to miss voting in Lok Sabha elections
Over 814 million people will be eligible to vote in the 2014 elections, making it the biggest Lok Sabha polls -- and the biggest democratic parliamentary elections anywhere in the world.

#03. Barack Obama advised to focus on relationship building with Narendra Modi by experts
According to many experts, the Obama administration has neglected the India relationship over the last years, and inviting the next Prime Minister of India to the White House will be the right thing it can do to repair and refresh the relationship. According to experts this becomes even more important if the next PM is Modi who has been vilified by the U.S. administration in the past.
#04. Arvind Kejriwal edges past Narendra Modi and Katy Perry in TIME magazine's online poll
Narendra Modi, who is already being hailed as the leader at the helm of affairs by Goldman Sachs and other agencies, was expected to be the top candidate from India on TIME magazine's list. But Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal has managed to edge past the BJP's prime ministerial candidate by a small margin.
#05. Priyanka Gandhi directly attacks Narendra Modi over snooping scandal
A day after breaking her silence on the continued "political" attacks on her husband Robert Vadra, the Congress star campaigner maintained that personal attacks should be avoided in electioneering and focus should be on real issues affecting the people. "If all power is concentrated in the hands of one person, is it a good thing? Or should people have power?" she asked while campaigning for her mother Sonia Gandhi here.
#06. Lok Sabha elections 2014: An over-view of elections in Uttar Pradesh
Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state in India with 200 million people and is best recognized for timeless landmarks such as the Taj Mahal and the historic Hindu city of Varanasi. Situated in the northern parts of the country, this state of Uttar Pradesh has a total of 80 Lok Sabha constituencies allotted to it.
#07. A roundup of Lok Sabha polls for April 24
Stakes will be high for Congress and BJP and a number of other parties like AIADMK, DMK, NCP and Shiv Sena when 117 constituencies will go to polls tomorrow in yet another substantial round of polling in the Lok Sabha elections.

In a series of decisions before the BVI (British Virgin Isles) Commercial Court and Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal, the liquidators of Fairfield have suffered significant reversals in their claims against investors.
The decisions are important for a number of reasons. First of all, the value of the claims is staggering; the BVI claims and related actions in the US Courts claim in the region of $7.5 billion. Secondly, the defendants are a who's who of the world's financial institutions, and thirdly the legal issues raise very important issues for offshore feeder funds and liquidators.

If one of the business schools to which you applied has invited you to participate in an interview, you can begin to get ready by reviewing your application, writes Stacy Blackman. It's a good idea to practice answering questions using the STAR method, which allows you to highlight a past experience by talking about the situation you faced, the action you took and the result you achieved. "You need to be prepared to elaborate, but just start with the basic elements of your story," Blackman advises.

Did John Calipari and Kentucky commit a violation in recruitment of Trey Lyles?
Sep 16, 2012, 11:24 AM EDT
As if the Kentucky-Indiana rivalry needed anything else to stoke the fire.
Trey Lyles, a Top-10 prospect from the Class of 2014, ended a long commitment to Indiana this summer. Not unheard of, obviously. Players decommit all the time.
But then came a report from Dan Dakich, radio host on Indianapolis' ESPN 1070 The Fan, who said that sources told him that Lyles visited Kentucky in July, not only sticking it to Indiana, but also bringing up what would appear to be a recruiting violation.
According to NCAA rules, July is a "dead period," meaning players cannot go to campus to meet with coaches and staff during that time.
Lyles' father, Tom, has pushed back against Dakich's report.
"[A visit on Sept. 1] was the first time ever," he told the Louisville Courier-Journal. "…The only way he would have gotten there (another time) is if I would have taken him, and the last time I was on the campus of Kentucky (before Sept. 1) was in 1984.
"The accusations that (Dakich) put out there are totally uncalled for and totally untrue."
"I'm not going to do anything to jeopardize this kid's career, and I'm for damn sure not going to do anything to jeopardize his eligibility," he went on to say.
The Lyles recruitment might see more headlines before we reach a conclusion, but there's no doubt that the country's best programs will be after him.

If Dak had information that Kentucky committed a recruiting violation, why did he choose to air this dirt on his radio show? To stoke controversy, stir animosity, hike his ratings? Seems like the more appropriate course of action would be to go through proper channels: notify the NCAA enforcement staff, which is located just up the road in Indianapolis, and let them look into the matter.
If the NCAA finds that there's something to it, then by all means, discuss it on your show. But if the NCAA finds that the sources are wrong or that nothing inappropriate happened, then Dak has caused a lot of trouble over nothing. Which I suspect is what he wanted.
- florida727 - Sep 17, 2012 at 10:05 AM
You couldn't be more right. It's nothing but an attempt to get his name (Dakich's I mean) in the national media spotlight. Personally, I can't stand Kentucky. Their fans are a bunch of arrogant @$$es. But if I had a son talented enough to play for Calipari, you better believe I'd listen to him. He's not stupid. He's not going to risk losing a top recruit by doing something that blatantly wrong. Dakich is an idiot.

Continuing in Relationship because of Christ
- by
- April 16, 2015
- Ebooks,Guest Post
Today's guest post is written by Jessica Thompson, author of Everyday Grace: Infusing All Your Relationships with the Love of Jesus, and co-author of Give Them Grace. She has been married for 18 years and has three kids, ranging from nine to fourteen years old.
"If you want love, give love. If you want friends, be friendly. If you'd like to feel understood, try being more understanding. It's a simple practice that works."
Seemingly good advice for the one looking for relationship. I would venture to say everyone would agree with that statement. I know I have said something very similar to my children as they have bemoaned the fact that they don't have many friends. I have preached that to my own heart. And yet, there is a man who wrecks that entire paradigm.
This man lived unselfishly every single day of his life. He always chose to love others, perfectly. He also chose to serve others, completely. He never thought about what was best for him. He lived to please his Father. He considered himself a servant to all. There was no task too dirty or too menial for him. He was known to wash the feet of those who were about to betray and deny him. He gave to those he knew would show no gratitude. He loved without ever thinking of what would be given in return. He truly understood all that others went through without ever being understood. He gave love unceasingly and was met with hate and mistrust. I am sure you have guessed at this point that I am talking about our Redeemer, our sweet Savior, our Christ.
We are all sinners and bound to hurt and to be hurt, and, because of this, we desire to protect ourselves. I don't want to be hurt and I hate hurting others. It makes me think the easiest thing is just to hide myself away, lock my heart up, never get close enough to anybody to hurt them or to let them hurt me.
But then I look at what lengths God has gone to be in relationship with me. I look at Christ living every single day of his life in relationship without ever sinning and yet constantly being sinned against, and my heart is broken. My self-protective tendencies are shattered. For in Christ, I have all the relationship I need and all the relationship I have ever longed for. [Click to tweet!]
Even as I type this on a dreary Monday morning, I can look back at the three hours I have been awake and I can see that I have sinned against everyone with whom I have come in contact. They may not have known what was in my heart, but if they did they would have been devastated. If I stay with that thought I can become increasingly inward focused and fall back into self-preservation. But then the Holy Spirit lifts my eyes, and I see my Perfect Righteousness sitting at the right hand of the Father. I see the Father lovingly looking at his Son, and I know that look is for me as well because I am in Christ by faith. All the love and acceptance that Jesus earned is now mine. I am a relationship screw-up, and yet he has forgiven me.
Beloved, because of this forgiveness, because of this Messiah who knows the hurt of relationship, because of this God who would suffer when the relationship with his Son was broken, because of the Holy Spirit who reminds us of our Father's steadfast love for us, we can continue in relationship.
We can love out of the overflow of love that has been bestowed on us. We can forgive out of the forgiveness that has washed our lives completely. We can give when it feels like there is nothing left to give. When there is no desire to give, we can remember that we have already been given all that we need.
Perhaps the quote at the beginning should read, "If you want love, remember you have it. If you want friends, remember your position in Christ. If you would like to feel understood, see Christ your High Priest sympathizing with you in every weakness. It's a difficult practice, but you have help."

"Set against personal struggles, moral confusion, and fragmentation of knowledge, the noble goals of scholarship and education, founded on the unity of truth and in service of the person and the community, become an especially powerful instrument of hope."
- Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, speaking on the mission of a Catholic university
"The instinct of a Christian, Catholic, Benedictine institution is to resist the fragmentation of knowledge. We stand convinced that there can be a deep harmony between faith and reason. ... At a place like the University of Mary, reason is at home in a culture of faith"
- From the Inaugural Address of Monsignor James Patrick Shea, Sixth president of the University of Mary
Faithfully Christian. Joyfully Catholic. Gratefully Benedictine.
When the Benedictine Sisters of the Annunciation founded what is today North Dakota's only Catholic university, they placed their small college under the patronage of Mary, the Mother of God. The Sisters' hope was that generations of students would find inspiration in the beautiful wisdom and courage of the maiden from Nazareth.
More than 50 years later, we are all they dreamed and more...
With a slate of new programs and initiatives, we're taking our place in the New Evangelization!
This exciting academic program examines the rich intellectual and cultural traditions of the Roman Catholic Church and its impressive contributions to human thought and culture -- past and present. [more details]

Spiritual direction for the women is provided by two Benedictine sisters (including the Director of Vocations from Annunciation Monastery) who live with the residents in apartments located in the hall.

Jews are White
Declares Daily Kos poll after Coates kerfuffle
"For what it's worth, on a very visceral level, what I see is a bunch of drunk racist white kids, doing what I'd expect a bunch of drunk racist white kids to do," Ta-Nehisi Coates, a blogger for The Atlantic who writes often on race, wrote earlier this month, after watching the widely circulated Max Blumenthal video of drunken Jewish kids making racist comments about President Obama. And thus started an interesting debate, in the comments section of Coates's blog and elsewhere on the Internet. "Jews are not White," wrote one reader Coates quoted in a subsequent post. " Why are you blaming 'white kids' for this racial hatred when no white kids were involved? When Jews do good things they're Jews, and when they do bad things they're white?" Others disagreed. "I'm a Jew and a white person," commented another reader. "I am positive that this is not a minority opinion. Our skin is white, our cultural heritage is basically the same as all the WASPy kids in our schools except we got a couple of extra days off for our holidays and we had to go over to our friends' houses to see a Christmas tree." On Daily Kos, blogger Kylopod, an Ashkenazi Jew, proved his Talmudic chops by sidestepping the debate altogether. Jews, he claimed, were not a race but an ethnoreligious group, and so there was little point in wondering whether they're white or not. But the debate raged on, and Daily Kos ran a readers' poll to answer the heated question. The results are in: we're white, folks.

By HAMDAN RAJA ABDULLAH and GLADYS TAY
JOHOR BARU: A massive congestion took place at various Puspakom centres in the state where some drivers waited for hours to get their vehicles inspected.
Lorry driver Rosli Selamat said he had been waiting for three hours at the Puspakom centre in Taman Daya here and the queue was hardly moving.
Usually, I am here at about 10am and the inspection will be completed before lunch, said the 38-year-old.
He said there would normally be four lanes open but he only saw two Puspakom staff manning the lanes yesterday.
Another lorry driver, K. Nadarajan, said he heard that the service was slow because Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) officers were there.
For Halifah Mohd Yunus, who drives regularly to Singapore, the wait was more difficult than queuing at the causeway.
I do not know if I will get my turn today because my assigned number is 595 and I am still lining up far away from the centre, he said.
A check at the Muar Puspakom in Parit Bakar also revealed similar congestion.
According to a senior Puspakom officer, about five workers did not turn up for work, adding that rumours of a boycott or protest by the staff were untrue.
There are four Puspakom centres in Johor, one each in Muar and Kluang and two in Johor Baru.
Pan Malaysian Lorry Owners Association president Er Sui See said Puspakom chief executive officer Datuk Salamat Wahit should be held responsible for corrupt practices of the staff and resign for corrupt practices at its computerised vehicle inspection centres.
He said the CEO, who had been serving Puspakom for many years, failed to curb the practices despite complaints from many parties.
He urged the Government to remove the monopoly on Puspakom and allow more companies to operate such inspection centres,
Er said in Thailand there were more than 2,000 authorised workshops to carry out inspection on smaller vehicles while heavy vehicles were inspected by the its Land Transport Authority.
