Portmore United director Howard McIntosh admits Stoke City face competition for Jamaica international midfielder Rudolph Austin.
He told The Sentinel: "We're very excited about the prospects for Rudolph and are delighted with the very positive interest shown by Stoke.
"We are in discussions with Stoke and two other serious and significant interests from Brazil and MLS in the USA.
"We want the best for the player and the English Premier League is the best league in the world and we are inclined to lean in that direction.
"But we're committed to looking at all the options in the best interest of the player and the club."

Digging into Church History0
In yesterday's post I showed you why the Reformation Heritage KJV Study Bible is the perfect resource for family and personal devotions. Much of what we looked at centered around reading and understanding the Bible, using M'Cheyne's reading plan in conjunction with the study notes & thoughts for family worship. Today, I want to build on that and share a few more reasons why this is such a great resource for personal and family study.
Church History
While reading the Bible is vital for spiritual growth, I'm also learning that it's worthwhile to teach my children a bit of church history and show them that our faith has a long & rich heritage. One of the great things about this study Bible is that it contains summaries of each century of Church history, from the 1st Century all the way to today. Not only will these articles familiarize you with the major events and issues that the Church faced throughout the years, but you'll also become acquainted with many of the more important historical Church figures. This may seem like a minor addition, but it's helpful because I've already seen a lot that I didn't know.
Creeds and Confessions
When looking at Church history, some of the more valuable relics would be the creeds and confessions that have been established through the Church's wrestling with to establish orthodoxy and reject heresy. Several of these are included in the Reformation Heritage KJV Study Bible including: the Apostles' Creed, Nicene Creed, Athanasian Creed, the Belgic Confession, the Canons of Dort, and the Westminster Confession of Faith. You're given a bit of information as to its importance to Christendom and then given the text of the document. The beauty of having these available in one place is that you can see how the Church battled to stand for the truth of the Bible.
Furthermore, when it comes to learning and teaching systematic categories of doctrine, particularly from a Reformed tradition, you can make use of the catechisms that are also provided (Heidelberg and both the shorter & larger Westminster catechisms). Personally, I have found the catechisms to be a great tool for teaching my children about the Bible's great truths because they are easy to memorize and provide several related passages. It's simple enough to take a question or two a week and incorporate it as a part of your time of family or personal devotion. Not only will you get to know more about the Bible, but you'll be better equipped to defend what you believe and to do so from the Bible.
Christian Living
Whether you're a new believer or a seasoned veteran, you'll find the "How to Live as a Christian" collection of articles to be extremely helpful. Each of these roughly page-long articles cover various topics that relate to Christian living, such as: living by the Ten Commandments, fellowship with other Christians, why & how to pray, handling criticism, enduring affliction, and being a godly spouse, to name a few. These articles are wonderful for showing how the Bible practically applies to everyday life and teaching children how they ought to live.
Standing Tall on Their Shoulders
It may be easy for us to gravitate to modern writings and resources, but we should not neglect or forget those who have walked this path before us. Those who walked before us have a wealth of wisdom that we'd be foolish to not glean from. That is why I find the Reformation Heritage KJV Study Bible to be immensely beneficial to the Church today. The rich history of our faith has been brought forward in such a way that Christians can learn from these great theologians without having to step into a time machine or head to a seminary library. I plan on making this study Bible a part of my daily studies for years to come. Just as it's a resource in line with the heritage of the Reformation, I hope that this Bible becomes a heritage in my family.

Family Devotions Made Easy2
Can I be honest? When I first heard about the Reformation Heritage KJV Study Bible I had mixed emotions. The entire concept of this particular Study Bible was intriguing, but not enough for me to spend money on yet another print Bible to have among a plethora of other specialty Bibles. Those mixed emotions quickly turned to ecstatic joy when I found out that Olive Tree was going to make this title available in the Bible Study app because it's a perfect accompaniment to my digital library. So, I added the title to my list of projects and worked to get it done so that I could start using it ASAP (and of course make it available for everyone else). Now, I may be on the edge of my seat about this resource, but why should you? Let me tell you why by explaining its benefit for use in personal and family devotions.
Aside from working at a Bible software company and being an all around theology geek, my greatest responsibilities in life are spiritually leading my household and parenting my three children. For the longest time I wasn't the best at leading my family in devotions, and I struggled to get material together to make it easy and manageable. With time, I'm gradually getting better; but, a resource like the Reformation Heritage KJV Study Bible goes a long way in making family devotions simple and doable for all. It provides all the tools I need to ground my family in the Word of God on a daily basis.
The reading plan is the ground floor and what makes family worship/devotion happen with this study Bible. Instead of trying to figure out which passage your family is going to read each day, you can use Robert Murray M'Cheyne's wonderful reading plan, which has been thoughtfully separated into both family worship & private readings. For example, the original M'Cheyne plan will have you read the first chapter of Genesis, Ezra, Matthew, and Acts on January 1; but, as laid out in this study Bible, you'd read Genesis & Matthew during your family devotion, while reading Ezra & Acts in your private devotion time. Over the course of the year, you will have taken your family through roughly half of the Old Testament (Genesis thru 2 Chronicles, along with Psalms) and the entire New Testament. The added benefit of using this in the Bible Study app is that you can use the built in M'Cheyne reading plan to keep track of your devotions so that you can start no matter the time of year without figuring out how it matches with the calendar they provide. Personally, it's nice having a ready made plan that I know will take my family through the Scriptures in a systematic way. It's much easier to prepare when you already have a plan in place!
Now, as you're reading through these passages with your family and in your own time, you're no doubt going to run across difficult passages. The Reformation Heritage KJV Study Bible excels in this area. It is truly a study Bible. Each book of the Bible includes an introduction that discusses its background and purpose, even including discussions on the difficult questions that may be faced in that book. There are also thousands of study notes that explain the meaning of individual words and phrases in their context so that you can make sense of the passage. Cross references to relevant passages are also integrated into the study notes allowing you to investigate more deeply and compare Scripture with Scripture. And even though this study Bible is based on the KJV translation, the Bible Study app allows you to use it alongside your preferred translation (such as the ESV or NIV).
One of the most important things about spending time in the Bible, whether it be in a family or private setting, is to make application of the text that you're reading. In my opinion, this is where this study Bible is worth its weight in gold. At the end of every chapter of study notes is a section called "Thoughts for Personal/Family Worship" that assists you in preparing thoughts for your time of worship and how to use the text to grow in godliness. So, even if you're not someone who has been to seminary or Bible college, you'll be more than equipped to lead your family in a time of devotion. To give you an idea of what this section looks like, here are the thoughts from Genesis 1:
- Consider the power of God in creation. If a computer were observing 10 million stars per second, it would still take 63 million years to count all the stars! Such is the power of the Almighty. Remarkably, the stars are the work of His fingers (Ps. 8:3) but salvation is the work of His right hand (Ps. 98:1). In a wonderful way God's work in making believers new creations in Christ Jesus demonstrates a power greater than commanding the world into existence. Let us be amazed at the wonder of creation; let us be overwhelmed with the wonder of grace. How does saving grace display even greater glory than creation?
- Stand in awe of the power of God's word. God's word is the agency of creation. God said, "Let there be . . ." Christ demonstrated this power in the miracles both with people such as raising Lazarus from the dead (John 11) and with the inanimate creation such as calming the storm (Mark 4:35-40). God's word still is powerful today through the Scriptures. It is by the word of His power as well that He bears His created world along according to His purpose of providence (Heb. 1:3). The fact that God created gives Him the right to govern and to use His creation as He sees fit (Ps. 24:1-2; 95:5). Since creation, including man, belongs to God, all of creation, including man, is dependent on Him and accountable to Him. The theological implications of creation are far-reaching.
As you can see, these items alone provide more than enough information for someone to lead a time of devotion, whether it be in a family, small group, or personal setting. But this is just the tip of the iceberg of what this study Bible has to offer. Tomorrow I'll share some of the other things that make this study Bible unique and worth adding to your library. I hope that my excitement for the Reformation Heritage KJV Study Bible resonates and makes you want to own & use it just as much as I do.

Who was A.W. Tozer?1
The Young Tozer
Aiden Wilson Tozer was born April 21, 1897 on a small farm in Western Pennsylvania, the third of six children. And although he would inspire millions with his preaching and writing, he was given very little education during his childhood. Instead, he was needed at home for physical labor. In 1907, when his brother left home to work for the Goodrich Rubber Company in Akron, Ohio, Tozer was called upon to do the difficult work of a farm-hand. At 15, his entire family moved to Akron and Tozer went to work at Goodyear. One afternoon walking home from his job, he heard a street preacher say, "If you don't know how to be saved . . . just call on God." When he got home, he climbed the narrow stairs to his attic and gave his life to God. Within a few years, Tozer would gain a reputation as a "20th-century prophet."
His First Pastorate
Tozer joined the Missionary Alliance Church shortly after his conversion, where he met Ada Pfautz, whom he married at the age of twenty-one. In 1919, ordained, married, and without formal education, Tozer was called to pastor a small storefront church in Nutter Fort, West Virginia. Able to express his thoughts in a simple and forceful manner, Tozer's preaching began bringing the power of God to hungry souls, and people couldn't get enough of him. That humble pastorate in West Virginia sparked Tozer's 44 year ministry with The Christian and Missionary Alliance. He spent most of those years at Chicago's Southside Alliance Church where the congregation, captivated by his preaching, grew from 80 to 800. In 1950 Tozer became the editor of the Alliance Weekly, and its circulation doubled almost immediately. His ministry was fueled by constant prayer, and he would often be seen walking the aisles of a sanctuary or laying face down on the floor, praying. He noted once that, "As a man prays, so is he." An early biographer noted his consistent prayer life: "Tozer spent more time on his knees than at his desk."
His Continuing Legacy
A. W. Tozer was 66 when he died of a heart attack on May 12, 1963. His tombstone simply and appropriately reads, "A Man of God."
He left behind many books that continue to give Christians encouragement and guidance. His writings are as fresh today as when he was alive because, as a friend commented, "His books reach deep into the heart." His honest and colloquial humor has been known to sweep up congregations in gales of laughter. And his wisdom has left them silent and stunned. For almost 50 years Tozer walked with God, and even though he is gone, he continues to minister to those who are eager to experience God.

Where's the Mission Field?2

Editor's Note: Jan Martinez is the founder and Director of Christ Kitchen in Spokane, Washington. Christ Kitchen seeks to 'love women out of poverty' by providing employment opportunities as a means to discipleship. Jan's book titled 'Christ Kitchen' releases this week.
I'd never witnessed a beating. To this day I shudder when I remember it. I had been reading in my car before a doctor's appointment and happened to notice a young woman leaving the hospital. She was maybe 25 years old, very thin, pale complexion, worried eyes. She wore tired jeans and a loose fitting blue and white t-shirt. Her sandal had a broken strap and slapped awkwardly on the cement walk. As she hooked her purse over her shoulder, I watched her look around anxiously scanning the parking lot. Perhaps that is what caught my attention – her apprehension attracting mine. Her body shook slightly and I saw that she was crying. As she walked toward me, the pain on her face displayed untold miseries as if she carried a horrible burden.
My heart went out to her. Had she just lost a loved one, received bad news, a fatal diagnosis? It made me ponder what my face looked like after learning I had breast cancer. Curious what we think about when viewing another's pain. Screeching brakes startled me out of my reflections as an older model sedan came skidding to a stop behind my car. "Get in!" screamed a clearly enraged man to the woman. Her crying stopped immediately when she saw him. In that moment, I interpreted her immediate calm as relief, like finally she had someone to share her burden, her sorrow. Now I imagine that it was actually certain fear of what would follow.
As soon as she got in the car, that huge, muscled man lit into her like a prizefighter on a punching bag. He struck her again and again – powerful, closed-fist blows to her face and belly. "Who's (smack!) baby (smack!) is it?" the maniac bellowed as her body absorbed the blows and ricocheted off the window and seat.
I screamed. A deadly, guttural, hate-filled roar welled up in me. Instinctively, I jumped out of my car spilling my book and purse onto the pavement. What did I think I was going to do? Rip her out of a moving car in Hollywood cop-story style? Save her from the clutches of a mad man? I simply screamed. I screamed at him to stop. I doubt he even heard me as he put his car in gear and drove his bleeding baby's mother away.
Did I get his license plate and report the assault to the police? Did I check at the hospital to find out who she was and make a report to Child Protective Services? I'm ashamed to say those ideas only occurred to me later. What I did was sit down on the curb as if I'd been punched in the stomach; a groan escaping me in sympathy with hers. And then I sobbed. I cried for that woman's beaten body, for the possibility that he had killed the life within her, for their future, for my impotence, for the violence that's hidden in a third of all relationships in our country.
I now carry my business cards in an easily accessible pocket or wallet. These perky little marketing tools advertising Christ Kitchen gift baskets and catered fare as well as my contact information are hardly a worthy defense against bullies or crazed offenders. But under our Christ Kitchen logo it says, a place of hope for women in poverty and I pray fervently for beaten souls to find hope. I hand these cards out to women in trouble, practicing for the time I am once again up against devastating odds. I pressed one into the hand of an overwrought mom in Target who was yelling at her crying baby. "Come see us," I offered after she let me hold her child while she shopped. I jumped out of my car downtown and slipped a card into the shirt pocket of an inebriated woman slumped beside a building, hoping she might follow my prayers for her to our ministry.
If anything, the woman in the blue and white t-shirt taught me to be ready, intentional. My mentor, Jill Briscoe, always says, "The mission field is between your two feet." At times it comes screeching to a halt interrupting our solitude and at others we have to act on simple clues God sets right in front of us. This must be what Paul meant when he wrote Timothy, "Be ready, in season and out of season, to preach the Word."
"Be the Word," my Lord comforts me when this violent world assaults my sweet life with powerful blows as I watch the evening news or drive through my neighborhood. "Be hope to my lost world."

I think that the full flash templates should show up on TF and FD. Maybe not all of them but at least the ones that are all xml driven so any user could modify them.
but the buyers are mostly noobs, designers and coders that perhaps not have the flash program or not want to install, they come to a site that is called themeforest and find flash items, I guess they would be confused….... I thought this site would be better without flash…. to push up the sales on themes and templates that are not flash
and even that, the files on TF are all fully customizable without a big program… flash templates needs it to modify customize, change some layout
I don't think so. Flash Templates are customizable mostly only with xml so buyers doesn't need to use Flash IDE or whatever. There is a category here called "Site Templates" for common templates, and I think Flash templates can be there easily under that category. Anyway a staff confirmation would be nice to clear these things.
I think cross promotion between the sites should be suffcient. If ThemForest sells full Flash sites that are xml driven, then FlashDen should have no issue selling full CSS sites with Flash headers????
Full flash, xml driven Wordpress themes?
Anyway, I found this one, looks pretty badass, though most of the effects there can be done with just XHTML /CSS/JS:
that blog is cool but its kind of a waste because it takes a long time to load and everything there could easily be done in html/css/java/ect. and would run much fasters
Hey guys! At this point we're keeping things separate on the different sites, though on the logged out homepage (which you can't see in the beta yet) it does have a bit saying "Flash Templates" and linking back into FlashDen.
I'll have a think about other ways we can tie them in though. Always good to cross-promote!
How about a upper nav item "Flash" that links to a page of nothing but flash templates over on flash den?

Jeff Koons Has a Bad Case of 'Radical Scopophilia'
March 1, 2010 · Print This Article
"Just what the hell does 'radical scopophilia' mean anyway?", you might have wondered, if you happened to have read the New York Times article on Jeff Koons' private collection that ran in last Sunday's Arts & Leisure section. I chuckled a bit when I read the phrase, which New Museum curator Massimiliano Gioni used to describe Koons' visual approach to art as well as, I gather, the intense visual pleasure Koons derives from his own personal collection. Here's the key excerpt:
"I like this type work,†[Koons] said simply about the Courbet, then pointed to a brown patch on the bull's fur vaguely shaped like the state of New Jersey and explained that he stares at the patch often and wonders whether it might represent "some form of, you know, soul or really a personal part†of Courbet's own being. His main fascination with Knüpfer's "Venus and Cupid†seems to be the spilled chamber pot at Venus's side. Looking at a Manet nude, he talks about his appreciation for the "lack of violence†in Manet's work and refers on separate occasions to a crease in the nude's stomach, which he believes resembles a long-tailed sperm.
Lisa Phillips, the New Museum's director, said in an interview that one reason she and the museum's curators made the unusual decision to hand the Joannou show over to Mr. Koons was precisely because of his unconventional and compulsive way of looking at art, what the New Museum curator Massimiliano Gioni calls his "radical scopophilia.â€
In work sessions as the show came together, Ms. Phillips said, he would use examples of work, new and old, "pointing to things that often would be the peripheral things in them, things that you might not see that were actually the things that were the most interesting to him — a monkey under someone's foot, something like that.â€
It's interesting, to say the least, that Gioni chose this particular phrase to describe Koons' eye (as it were), given that Koons' approach to art is idiosyncratically a-historical in its embrace of visual pleasure. Gioni uses the term 'scopophilia' to describe a gaze that is voracious in its viewing habits, that takes what it wants from each work of art it encounters. But what Gioni doesn't seem to get (or at least wants to skirt, by way of his pointless and uber-pretentious insertion of the term 'radical' in front of it), is the fact that, although scopophilia is a psychoanalytic term employed by Freud to describe a 'love of watching,'Â the term was also taken up in the 1970s and thereafter by feminist film theorists to account for the predominance of a specifically 'male gaze' in classic Hollywood cinema. (Think Hitchcock's Psycho, then go read Laura Mulvey's classic essay 'Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema' to see what I mean). Scopophilia implies an active male gaze and a passive female subject. It's a type of gaze that has, of course, occasionally been reflected in the history of Koons' own work, most notably Koons' "Made in Heaven" collaboration with his ex-wife Ilona Staller.
I'm all for voracious looking, and I don't mind a little a-historicity in the name of visual pleasure, either. But I don't at all care for the way that Massimiliano Gioni's stray quote, and its placement in this article, serves to whitewash the history of important work done by feminist film theorists in this area. Gioni's blithe attachment of the term "radical" to his use of the term scopophilia only makes it worse. Please. There's nothing 'radical' about the fetishistic power dynamic at play in the scopophilic gaze–or at least, in a straight man's version of it. It's the opposite, in fact.
The question is whether it is accurate or not to describe Koons' curatorial eye as 'scopophilic' in nature. That I don't know. One would have to actually see the show he curates, and the bulk of his collection in person, and, you know, brush up on your feminist theory a bit before you throw around terms that have a fair amount of history behind them, before hazarding a worthwhile opinion on that matter.
Rant of the Week: Art Critics Suck Edition
February 8, 2010 · Print This Article
Ah, I've been wanting to bring back this little Rant of the Week column for awhile now, but have been stymied by either a) lack of good material or b) lack of time to scour the internet in search of good material. But today's rant is a two-fer, or a three-fer, or something…anyway it's good, it's still sorta fresh, and although it's easy enough to find on your own via the art twit- and blogosphere I present the following, for those of you who are not already aware of the Jerry Saltz vs. John Yau smackdown.
Here's some quick background: Last December Jerry Saltz wrote a column in New York magazine praising Jeff Koons' Puppy as the art work of the aughts–or the naughts–or the whatevers!– and Koons himself as "the emblematic artist of the decade—its thumping, thumping heart." Saltz goes on to argue that
All of Koons's best art—the encased vacuum cleaners, the stainless-steel Rabbit (the late-twentieth century's signature work of Simulationist sculpture), the amazing gleaming Balloon Dog, and the cast-iron re-creation of a Civil War mortar exhibited last month at the Armory—has simultaneously flaunted extreme realism, idealism, and fantasy. Puppy adds to that: It is a virtual history of art, recalling the mottled surfaces of Delacroix (albeit on 'shrooms), the fantastical fairy-tale beings of Redon, a mutant Frankenstein canine from Seurat's La Grande Jatte, and the eye-buzzing Ben-Day dots of Roy Lichtenstein. As it emits the swirling amorphousness of Tiepolo and the pathos of Watteau, it is also a magnified, misshapen abstraction of Duchamp's urinal—a similarly deliberate gesture of antic outlandishness, and one that, of course, was signed "R. Mutt.â€
Koons's work has always stood apart for its one-at-a-time perfection, epic theatricality, a corrupted, almost sick drive for purification, and an obsession with traditional artistic values. His work embodies our time and our America: It's big, bright, shiny, colorful, crowd-pleasing, heat-seeking, impeccably produced, polished, popular, expensive, and extroverted—while also being abrasive, creepily sexualized, fussy, twisted, and, let's face it, ditzy. He doesn't go in for the savvy art-about-art gestures that occupy so many current artists. And his work retains the essential ingredient that, to my mind, is necessary to all great art: strangeness."
And so on. A few weeks later, critic John Yau responds to Saltz's piece with an essay of his own in The Brooklyn Rail (where Yau serves as art editor), titled "The Difference Between Jerry Saltz's America and Mine."Â Yau starts out with a reference to a bit by the late comedian Bill Hicks, one in which Hicks rips on Jay Leno for shilling Doritos, despite the gazillions of dollars Leno already has; the implied question being how much more cash does this bloated gazillionaire need that he has to sell us junk food, too? Yau says, of Hicks,
He believed that there are some things that you just shouldn't do, and one of them was to be a spokesperson for bad or unhealthy products. I was reminded of Hicks's routine when I read Jerry Saltz's paean to Jeff Koons's Puppy, which 'assumed the form of a West Highland white terrier constructed of stainless steel and 23 tons of soil, swathed in more than 70,000 flowers that were kept alive by an internal irrigation system.'"
As part of a new initiative to bring contemporary art into hospitals and other health care facilities around the country, RxArt, a New York nonprofit group headed by Diane Brown, will install several pieces by Jeff Koons in the CAT Scan room of Advocate Hope Children's Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois, a feature in last Sunday's New York Times Style magazine says. The works are slated to be installed on every wall of the room sometime this month, and include a large painting of four smiling monkeys on the pediatric CAT Scan machine itself.
Koons' installation is RxArt's most amibitious to date. Brown told the Global Giving network that the idea to install artwork in a CAT Scan room came from her own personal experiences receiving a CT Scan.
"Rather than a scary experience in a cold white space, we hope children undergoing this test will feel like they are entering into a fantastic visual adventure.
"The fact that the Hope Children's Hospital project is centered on Koons's transformation of the CT Scan machine is especially significant to the origins of RxArt. The initial idea for RxArt came to me when I was undergoing a CT scan and found that the only way to distract myself from the frightening procedure was to imagine an artwork (a Matthew Ritchie painting) going up the wall and across the ceiling. By entering into this artist's complex imagery, I was mentally transported out of the sterile environment of the hospital. RxArt was founded based on the belief that art has the ability to not only transcend but to transform its settings and viewers."
Other projects by artists such as Rob Pruitt, Assume Vivid Astro Focus, and Will Cotton that have already been installed in various hospitals can be viewed here.
Via AO Art Observed.
The Art Newspaper sat down with Jeff Koons, the antithesis of the Chicago Conceptual Art style to talk about the new work, his focus, the battalion of artists he has working for him to produce the work, the current exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in London and his general take on art.

EU and Roma RSS
The European institutions and every EU country have a joint responsibility to improve the lives of the EU's Roma citizens.
The Roma people are Europe's largest ethnic minority. Of an estimated 10-12 million in the whole of Europe, some six million live in the EU, most of them EU citizens. Many Roma in the EU are victims of prejudice and social exclusion, despite the fact that EU countries have banned discrimination.
Who are the Roma?
Roma is the term commonly used in EU policy documents and discussions, although it encompasses diverse groups that include names like Roma, Gypsies, Travellers, Manouches, Ashkali, Sinti and Boyash.
A joint responsibility
The EU has long stressed the need for better Roma integration (see the 2010 Communication on the economic and social integration of the Roma in Europe ), but more needs to be done. The European institutions and every EU country have a joint responsibility to change this.
In 2011, the European Commission adopted a Communication pushing for the development of national strategies for Roma integration detailing the concrete policies and measures to be taken (Communication on an EU Framework for National Roma Integration Strategies by 2020 ).
Each country produced a Roma strategy or a set of integrated policy measures that were assessed by the European Commission in a Communication adopted in 2012 (National Roma Integration Strategies: a first step in the implementation of the EU Framework ). The European Council adopted a recommendation on effective Roma integration measures in the Member States on 9 December 2013.
The 2013 assessment report (Steps forward in implementing National Roma Integration Strategies ) focused specifically on the structural preconditions needed in each country. These yearly reports (until 2020) use information provided by each country, NGOs, international organisations and the EU Fundamental Rights agency (FRA). The 2014 report(611 kB) looks at overall progress in all key areas.
Within the framework of the Europe 2020 dialogue, the European Commission stresses that further efforts must be made to achieve Roma inclusion.
Please find here all the documents related to Roma people .

This site sells natural food coloring, I have not tried it yet myself.
as you can see from their photos, you'll not get a true red from these colourings either, unless you use their raspberry red sugar.
I came across this last night as well. That dough looks really red to me. I wonder where one would get trai gac powder?
Now I am on a mission! Seems like trai gac is hard to find online. You can get the seeds for the clitoria flowers online though! I totally just asked my Vietnamese friend on FB if she could find me some. *haha* Her husband was born in Vietnam, and her MIL lives with them... So maybe there is hope! that vibrant red hue just has me drooling! It's a fruit... I wonder if it imparts any flavor to the recipe?

LAURINBURG — Running for a second congressional term in November, U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson spoke with little concern for his own elected office as he addressed the Scotland County Republican Party on Monday night.
In his two years in the House of Representatives, Hudson has introduced two bills that have been passed by the House, including the Transportation Security Acquisition Reform Act, which Hudson says would require the TSA to implement a technology acquisition plan and would save "hundreds of millions" if passed into law.
Hudson represents all of Richmond County in North Carolina's 8th Congressional District. He serves as chairman of the House Transportation Security Subcommittee, said that he has worked across party lines in developing legislation.
"I started by going to Democrats and saying here's what I want to do, and I want you to work with me," he said. "I took some of their ideas, put it into the bill, made it a better bill, and got their support."
Hudson, who is opposed in his re-election bid by Dobbins Heights Mayor Antonio Blue, stopped at the Scotland GOP headquarters following a fundraiser at Wooly McDuff's Neighborhood Grille. More than 50 people attended the Republican meeting.
He spoke in support of Thom Tillis, speaker of the state House of Representatives, who is running for U.S. Senate against incumbent Democrat Kay Hagan. More than 300 bills have passed the House, Hudson said, only to be ignored by the Senate.
"My hope is, when … the Republicans control the Senate, we won't have a filibuster-proof majority, but we will control the agenda in the Senate and the House and we can make some changes," Hudson said. "We'll have to work with Senate Democrats, and that's okay, that's the way our government's set up to work, and we won't get everything we want, but we will determine the agenda, we'll determine what bills come to the floor, and we can make some progress. Let's put bills on President Obama's desk and dare him to veto them."
Hudson also pointed out that the last two increases to teacher pay in North Carolina came under Tillis' leadership of the state House.
Lax immigration policy, a consistently unbalanced budget, and weak foreign policy were among Hudson's critiques of the current administration.
"Our allies don't trust us and our enemies don't fear us and the world is more dangerous because of it, you're seeing that — it would be comical if it weren't so horrifying to watch," he said. "There are some days where I feel like I'm in Alice in Wonderland. Here we are walking around like nothing's wrong and the world is on fire."

Publishers WeeklyRarely does an author manage to present such a lucid panorama of how human thoughts and deeds exist within a cosmological framework. Vast and complex systems, mechanisms, and cycles characterize the long ascent of evolution. Periodically, evolutionary events converge, catalyzing leaps of transformation, key moments when flux and chaos signal an imminent reordering. Dennis penetrates the deep forces shaping our natural and social realities, noting that phenomena such as large cracks in Earth's electromagnetic field; increasing solar radiation; DNA hypercommunication (data exchange on the DNA level using genetic code); and quantum coherence in biological organization portend an evolutionary "upgrade" already underway. Conscious evolution is the deliberate participation of human beings within these larger evolutionary processes. With a steady focus on the positive potential for a new global society, Dennis maintains that participating in this transition relies on one foundational insight: the ultimate interconnection and interdependence of everything in a living field with a creative collective consciousness. "This is neither a conspiracy nor a fairy tale," Dennis writes; "it is a narrative of resilience, re-adaptation, and renewal."

Of course, even if funding is procured, the Olympics are not a sure thing by a long shot. There are still seven other U.S. localesLos Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, Dallas, Cincinnati, Tampa-Orlando, and Baltimore-Washingtonyearning to be selected as the U.S. candidate when the field is narrowed down in the fall of 2002. And whichever bid clears that hurdle will face a still more grueling competition in 2005, against international competitors like Toronto and Rio de Janeiro. There's already speculation that the IOC would prefer to avoid the scandals and logistic snafus that accompanied the Atlanta and Salt Lake City Games, with Salt Lake Olympic Committee president Mitt Romney predicting that his 2002 Winter Games would be "the last Games on American soil for a long, long time."
Even if the bid ultimately fails, though, Fisher is not sanguine about the threat of a West Side stadium. "We take this seriously," he says. "There are a lot of people who say it'll never happen for a lot of good reasons. But they said Disney would never come to Times Square. Who knew?"

I have a shot like this on my old 1910-1920's folder and that sucker was at f/45 at 15 seconds but not broad daylight hehe... But I just mean there is a large DOF so it has to be more like 22 for a LF image.
Either way I guess we have proven it is POSSIBLE this is a real image. Where did the OP get it?

Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover's partnership and chemistry in Comedy Nights With Kapil (CNWK) took telly land by storm. However, soon there was a war of words when Sunil decided to walk out of CNWK and start his own stand-up show, Mad In India with Manish Paul.
Sources close to Kapil's camp have revealed tothat Gutthi's comeback on the show might just happen sometime soon.
Kapil's close aides confirm that Gutthi and Bittoo Sharma are real life friends and them reuniting on CNWK is no big deal.
Kapil had in an earlier interview said, "If he wishes to come, then he is most welcome. I never wanted him to go either, but it was his own decision. Every person has a right to think about his own growth. Even I left a show to start my own. So if I can do, why not him! He has all the right to do that. I have never seen him as a competitor as we have different time slots. Sunil is a very good actor, so wherever he will go, he will do good. But sometimes it happens that an actor is very good, but there are other things as well that makes a show successful. I would not say that 'Comedy Nights' is doing good only because of me, it depends on the whole team and I would say everything works in favour of you only by god's grace. My best wishes are with him."
He also feels that Sunil and his partnership is a sure shot hit. He said, "Sunil had a better platform with me. There was something special when we worked together. I even had a chat with him on this before he left."
Well, looks like all's finally well between the friends turned competitors. And with Kapil not having replaced Sunil's character on the show, it only means that scope for Gutthi's comeback is still there.

This highly sought after antique porch light fixture shows a strong Asian influence, popular in the Arts & Crafts movement around 1900 - 1910. The structures of Greene & Greene show this influence in the very early 1900s (Greene & Greene architects went so far as to have Grueby Tile Works reproduce large Oriental vent tiles that can still be seen in their homes in Pasadena, with originals in the Gamble House). This vintage copper porch lamp is hand hammered copper and brass. The arm from the back plate is brass; the rest is hand hammered copper. There is a small spot behind the shade where a 1/4" x 1/4" section has turned out, shown in 2 images below. A perfect mate for an Asian inspired Bungalow or Cottage. Height: 11 inches Width: 5 1/2 inches Projection: 6 3/4 inches

HOUSTON An attorney for a Houston high school principal charged with failing to report allegations from students of sexual abuse says the administrator promptly reported the incidents and that his good name is being smeared.
Rob Gasparello, who works at Sharpstown High School, was charged last week with three counts of failure to report child abuse.
Rusty Hardin, Gasparello s attorney, said in a statement Tuesday the accusations against his client paint him in a false light and that the principal investigated the incidents and took swift action.
In one instance, he immediately informed the mother of a young woman who said she was assaulted off-campus by a family member and made sure the mother and victim reported this to police, Hardin said in a statement. It was reported to HPD within four hours of Mr. Gasparello learning of the incident. He also got the student to counseling to support her.
The other two charges stem from a teacher at the school accused of touching students inappropriately. Ysidoro Rosales-Motola has been charged with indecency with a child and having an improper relationship with a student.
In the other matter, Mr. Gasparello immediately took steps to make sure the teacher in question was not alone with students, had another adult in the room and swiftly began to investigate the allegations, Hardin said.
Gasparello also told the students parents and reported the cases to his superiors within roughly 72 hours with the belief they would notify law enforcement, according to Hardin.
Houston Federation of Teachers Union President Gayle Fallon said last week that police are on a witch hunt.
Generally, we don t find principals that support our teachers. We are kind of grateful this guy looked at it objectively and said there s no merit, said Fallon. It is very frustrating because if it s a frivolous charge, why would you report it?
Two Sharpstown assistant principals each face one count of failure to report child abuse for the same case.

MADISON, Wis. -- Supermarkets large and small are looking to emphasize their fresh foods these days and the in-store service bakery is playing a major role in that effort. As a result of that and other factors, bakery sales themselves are on the rise, according to studies cited by the International Dairy-Deli-Bakery Association in its "What's In Store 2002" summary of trends. While there has been a decrease in the number of service bakery employees, sales are still up, the IDDBA report ...

Dirty Rice
|Chicken fat/Vegetable oil
|2 Tablespoon
|Chicken gizzards
|1⁄2 Pound, ground
|Ground pork
|1⁄4 Pound
|Bay leaves
|Dry mustard
|7 Teaspoon (2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon)
|Ground cumin
|1 Teaspoon
|Finely chopped onion
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Finely chopped celery
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Finely chopped green bell pepper
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Minced garlic
|2 Teaspoon
|Unsalted butter
|2 Tablespoon
|Uncooked rice
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs) (preferably converted)
|Basic chicken stock/Pork stock / water
|2 Cup (32 tbs)
|Chicken livers
|1⁄2 Pound, ground
Place chicken fat, gizzards, pork and bay leaves in large heavy skillet over high heat and stir well; cook until meat is thoroughly browned, 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in Poultry Magic, mustard and cumin.
Then add onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic; stir thoroughly, scraping pan bottom well.
Add butter and stir until melted.
Reduce heat to medium and cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly and scraping pan bottom well (if you're not using a heavy-bottomed skillet, mixture will stick a lot).
Add rice and cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring and scraping pan bottom constantly (the rice should crackle and pop and look similar to puffed rice cereal).
Add stock and stir until any mixture sticking to pan bottom comes loose; cook about 4 minutes over high heat, stirring occasionally.
Then stir in chicken livers, cover pan and turn heat to very low; cook about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and leave covered until rice is tender, about 10 minutes. (The rice is finished this way so as not to overcook livers and to preserve their delicate flavor.)

alpina aka shittin on S class AMG..
I'll buy a used Aston Martin.
Never liked Alpina's looks but the tech is impressive. Until you consider the M5's engine has 560HP. Never understood why BMW doesn't put it in the 7-series.
I've always like the B7. I suppose the looks are better.
Mmmm.... nice!

I was surprised to see that in addition to chairs, they had some adjustable chairs that could also be used as a bed. - Krishna
Featured Review
After landing past midnight and taking a bus to the terminal from the aircraft parking spot, we were greeted with a sight of sea of Muslim men and women returning from the holy pilgrimage. Had it not been the large sign in black and yellow on top of the terminal building proclaiming its name, I would've thought I were in Mecca! The queue to get through immigration was more than a mile long - however the processing was swift with numerous counters. Getting bags out of the cramped baggage collection area was a challenge though, since the carousels are notoriously short and people were literally standing on top of one another yet helplessly seeing their bags pass by - just out of reach :) Once you get your bags and clear customs - there is absolutely no waiting area (@ Arrivals) - you need to either exit the terminal or take the transfer shuttle to either of the domestic terminals. I had more than 12 hours to pass before my domestic connection hence after converting some currency at a bank located within the arrivals area, I decided to go to the domestic terminal. To my surprise, the folks @ the domestic airline wouldn't take my baggage before the check-in time! So I had to wait there with my bags for full 12 hours, depending on total strangers to look over my bags while I went to the bathroom a couple of times. There is a small cafeteria in the check-in area selling snacks and beverages at exorbitant prices. I later learnt that there is a much better cafeteria in the pre-boarding area. The newly renovated departure area @ the international terminal is surprisingly good and well-maintained with loads of eating places. All in all, I'd say not too bad an airport, but a few things need to change to increase passenger comfort.

The Minneapolis violent crime rate dropped 5 percent from 2009 to 2010 and, overall, crime is down 19 percent since 2006.
Those numbers are according to the Minneapolis Police Department's 2010 crime statistics, which were presented to the City Council's Public Safety, Civil Rights and Health Committee on Feb. 2.
The 1,600 robberies in 2010 were the least since 1983. Violent crime was at its lowest level since 2001.
Police attribute the decrease to a number of factors, most notably their increased use of databases and technology to identify "hotspots" where crime is likely to occur at a given time.
By using a historic data, crime analysts at the city have been able to find patterns that help them locate an area where a crime is likely to occur, and then the department can put patrols in those locations.
"I think the focused and proactive response has been the one that's actually made the impact [on reducing crime]," said Sgt. Jeff Egge, the head of the Police Department's Crime Analysis Unit.
While 2010 kicked off with seven homicides in the first three weeks, crime by year's end continued its downward trend over the last four years.
Robbery was down 5 percent from 2009 and down 21 percent from 2008. Aggravated assault was down 7 percent from 2009 and down 15 percent from 2008.
Homicide doubled from 2009 to 2010, jumping from 19 to 39. Last year, however, was an abnormally low year for homicides. The 39 homicides were one more than in 2008.
Property crimes — burglary, larceny, auto theft and arsons — were up 2 percent from 2009 but down 12 percent from 2008.
Northeast remains safest precinct
The 2nd Precinct remains the safest precinct of the city's five precincts, the 2010 crime stats revealed.
The Northeast precinct had nearly 1,000 fewer crimes than the 5th Precinct of Southwest Minneapolis, the precinct with the second lowest crime rate.
Most crime categories in Northeast increased slightly in 2010 but are much lower than in 2008.
There were two homicides in the precinct in 2010, compared to four in 2009 and one in 2008.
Violent crime was up 7 percent from 2009 but down 8 percent from 2008. Property crime was up four percent from 2009 but down 4 percent from 2008.
Mixed bag for Downtown crime
The 2010 crime stats showed crime in the First Precinct of Downtown Minneapolis was up in some categories and down in others.
Violent crime was up 2 percent from 2009 but down 4 percent from 2008. Property crime increased by 10 percent from 2009, but is down 10 percent from 2008.
The stats show that in some categories Downtown's crime picture is improving, such as auto theft (down 36 percent), arson (down 22 percent), and rape (down 28 percent). In other areas crime increased, such as aggravated assault (up 13 percent) and larceny (up 15 percent).

Powerful winds expected at Ariz. wildfire
PRESCOTT, Ariz. Wind more powerful than the gusts that swept an Arizona wildfire over the weekend, killing 19 members of a Hotshot crew, were expected to whip up the flames Tuesday as crews work to corral the blaze feasting on tinder-dry vegetation.
National Weather Service meteorologist Jim Wallmann said powerful wind is forecast, with a worst-case scenario of 80 mph gusts. He also said possible weekend thunderstorms could complicate efforts, too.
"The winds are going to be a serious factor for us today," said fire behavior analyst Stewart Turner.
Fire spokeswoman Karen Takai said it remains unclear how many houses have burned, but crews were working to figure out the scope of the destruction. The current estimate is 50 homes lost.
"It is very difficult for the public out here right now. They're out of their homes, there's a lot of uncertainty for them," she said.
For the 19 firefighters killed, violent wind gusts turned a lightning-caused forest fire into a death trap that left no escape.
In a desperate attempt at survival, the firefighters - members of a highly skilled Hotshot crew - unfurled their foil-lined, heat-resistant shelters and rushed to cover themselves on the ground. But the success of the shelters depends on firefighters being in a cleared area away from fuels and not in the direct path of a raging fire.
Only one member of the 20-person crew survived, and that was because he was moving the unit's truck at the time.
The blaze grew from 200 acres to about 2,000 in a matter of hours, and Prescott City Councilman Len Scamardo said the wind and fire made it impossible for the firefighters to flee around 3 p.m. Sunday.
"The winds were coming from the southeast, blowing to the west, away from Yarnell and populated areas. Then the wind started to blow in. The wind kicked up to 40 to 50 mph gusts and it blew east, south, west - every which way," Scamardo said. "What limited information we have was there was a gust of wind from the north that blew the fire back, and trapped them."
During a deeply emotional memorial Monday evening in Prescott, firefighters walked down the bleachers in a silent gymnasium full of mourners, their heavy work boots drumming a march on the wooden steps.
They bowed their heads for moments of silence at the front of an auditorium that was so packed organizers had to send people outside for fear of violating the fire code. The burly men then hugged each other and cried at the end of the service.
More than 1,000 people gathered in the gym on the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University campus as others throughout the state and beyond also mourned the deaths of the 19 Prescott-based firefighters killed Sunday outside nearby Yarnell. The day marked the nation's deadliest for fire crews since Sept. 11, 2001.

Games of the night: Dallas has injuries, what was Denver's excuse?
Jan 7, 2011, 8:09 AM EDT
Before the season, if you peaked ahead on the schedule, this looked like an interesting Thursday night of basketball. Turns out, not so much.
Thunder 99, Mavericks 95: Dallas has the much-discussed injuries to Dirk Nowitzki and Caron Butler. The effort is still there and while this is a deep team, there are limits to what they can do now. They can be beat. Knowing that led to a flat Thunder team who played just one half of defense (the second half).
Turns out one half was enough. We could try to break this game down in detail, but I'm not sure there is a lot here we didn't already know.
For Dallas, the old injury cliché rang true: It's not the replacement player, it's the replacement's replacement. Shawn Marion and Jason Terry were forced to start with Nowitzki and Butler out. That meant guys who can create their own shot off the bench were gone. You end up with Brendan Haywood trying running hooks.
Maybe the best point guard in the game was Eric Maynor. (Russell Westbrook was 5-16 shooting, Jason Kidd 0-7.) Maynor played limited minutes (12) but when he was in he seemed to make things happen, and he finished with five points and four assists.
The other guy I love to watch because of his effort at both ends is Dallas' DeShawn Stevenson. He just brings it and is earning more minutes.
Kings 122, Nuggets 102: The Kings came in to this 25th in the league in offensive efficiency, averaging 101.9 points per 100 possessions, and shooting 43.4 percent. Against the Nuggets they had 127.1 points per 100 possessions and shot 56.4 percent. Denver didn't care about defense at all and the Kings have some talent on that roster if you really ignore them like that. Denver's effort was embarrassing.
Credit Sacramento for stepping it up on the big stage. Denver fought back in the third quarter and closed a once 14-point lead down to a tie game, but the Kings kept fighting. And the Nuggets kept on playing individual ball and not defending.
The Kings attacked the rim hard, as evidenced by getting to the line 30 times on the night.
I like DeMarcus Cousins' fire. The guy was jawing with Carmelo Anthony and would not back down. Call it hubris or whatever you wish, I like players who don't back down like that. I don't want rookies who just defer. Everything is going to come around for him one day and he will be a beast.
- zackd2 - Jan 7, 2011 at 10:12 AM
Wait, you're not going to blame the Nuggets' performance on Melo not signing an extension like the announcers trying to do last night?
I bet they try to blame JR Smith's out-of-control game on Melo next time.

Roundtable: 6 Documentarians on Lance Armstrong's Lies and Alec Baldwin's Secret Talent
Alex Gibney ("The Armstrong Lie"), Errol Morris ("The Unknown Known"), Morgan Neville ("20 Feet From Stardom"), Teller ("Tim's Vermeer"), James Toback ("Seduced and Abandoned") and Lucy Walker ("The Crash Reel") tell the truth about telling the truth in THR's first documentarian roundtable.
Walker: I had an interesting situation with my second film, Blindsight. The film was about a mountain climb that goes wrong. And there's a wonderful showdown at 23,000 feet between a blind American mountaineer, a blind German, a bunch of blind Tibetan students … and everyone starts letting fly [with arguments over whether they're endangering lives]. And I had not showed it to anybody before the premiere, and then they were all there. But what was fantastic was that everybody came up to me afterwards so happy with how they'd been edited, but so worried about how everybody else must feel. I thought, "Gosh, I must be doing a good job because that is reality."
Morris: Part of what I think my job is, for better or for worse, is to capture the complexity of my characters …
Toback: Absolutely.
Morris: … And the complexity of the environment. I like to remind myself that I am a filmmaker for better or for worse and not a social worker.
Gibney: There is a problem now in terms of expectation of what a documentary is supposed to do, and it comes in part from 60 Minutes. Michael Arlen, a long time ago, wrote a great piece in The New Yorker called "The Prosecutor," about how 60 Minutes sets up this prosecutorial environment. The idea of thumbs up, thumbs down, instant opinion; it's a drag. Because a lot of what I think the people at this table do is to reveal. And sometimes what you reveal is not a simple answer. Sometimes it's ambiguity. Sometimes it's mystery.
STORY: Oscars: 15 Documentary Features Named to Shortlist
Morris: Hollywood movies imitate documentaries almost endlessly: the use of available light, handheld cameras, so on and so forth. And there is this expectation that documentaries should imitate Hollywood movies. They should have redemptive endings. They should obey certain rules of dramaturgy. They should provide certain levels of audience satisfaction. In short, they should become extended versions of Free Willy. (Laughter.) And the very thought of that just fills me with a kind of horror.
Some years back, Errol's film The Thin Blue Line wasn't nominated for an Academy Award, which stirred up a lot of controversy. Do you think the Academy is doing a better job now of recognizing the best docs?
Walker: I am just grateful to the Academy for recognizing documentary features and shorts, which I also think are becoming more vital again.
Toback: They should give it a lot more prominence than they do.
Morris: I'm now a member of the Academy, and I wrote in as the best film of the year [in 2009] -- not best documentary, but best film -- [Sacha Baron Cohen's] Bruno. And someone asked me, "How could you do such a thing? This is unspeakable." (Laughter.) I said, "Well, there was a very simple reason. It was the best film of the year." Aside from that fact, it's a great documentary. There are things that are happening in that film which are clearly unscripted -- things that capture something about the real world that perhaps is distasteful, but it's also extremely funny and revealing.
