Morning all! We got no rain in sight here.... but I hope at least the humidity is down today. I can deal with heat pretty well up to a point but the slightest bit of humidity and I melt.

Yeah, thanks to our lovely little summer storm night before last, yesterday was all kinds of humid.
been away for awhile, I see this a new thread so I thought I'd get in on the ground floor so to speak, hey everyone!
performerinwaiting is at Disneyland right now watching security check out an unattended bag at the Bengal BBQ, oh the drama!
Somebody obviously had their hands full enjoying their lunch, and just misplaced their belongings.
That's normally the case.
I just made two batches of mac and cheese. As in make my own cheese sauce, half way cook the noodles, then bake it kind, not the box stuff. One batch is plain, the other has crab claw meat in it. I was going to make lobster mac n cheese, but none of our grocery stores had the amount of lobster I would have needed. So we thought crab would be just as good.

Alrighty, don't mean to toot my own horn, but that was scrumptious. Now I'm stuffed and kinda sleepy.
That mac & cheese sounds so good...
On a different note, I think something died in my dryer. The garage stinks, and when I was folding my clothes, they smelled just like the smell in the garage. Not as strong thank goodness but...
Watching the ASPCA commercials is so very depressing.
Yes!! My husband absolutely HATES them! They aren't quite as bad as they use to be, but still sad.
Hmm, maybe some lint got burned maybe? Our washer has a funny smell to it, I think it just needs to be cleaned really well. I cleaned it with a mr clean magic eraser, but I think it needs a cleaner of some sort.
I am watching Little House On The Prairie and Albert Ingalls is dying. Tears. Lots of Tears.
I had the entire book series as a kid and never really finished them. I think I still have all but 1 or 2 that went missing, I guess I could read them.
I never read the books. Probably not like the TV series at all.
Eeeew, well I hope you can find the source of the odor soon.
And I think I'm gonna head out too, I work til 7 tomorrow.
^ me too. I work till 7 so I avoid traffic on the 405.

With music in the air, can poetry be far behind? For 10 days from December 9 to 19, poetry lovers in Chennai get to listen to and interact with poets – emerging and eminent – in diverse venues across the city, as the fifth edition of Poetry with Prakriti kicks off.
With a line up that includes Ranjit Hoskote, Alok Bhalla, Maria van Daalen, Andy Jackson, Salah Stétié, Ravi Subramanian, Anand Krishnan... the venues range from schools, colleges, malls, parks to cafeterias. This allows different groups of people to enjoy the creative expression that is poetry.
Poetry can also be performance.

The contest will be judged by a three-member jury comprising Usha Aroor of Orient Black Swan, Sandhya Rao of Tulika Books and Neha Jaiswar from the British Council.
Those who want more than just readings and discussions have two performances to consider: "Light Within", directed by Gowri Ramnarayan and featuring dancers, musicians and actors on December 13 and "Rashmi Rathi" by V. Balakrishnan, a solo performance of a popular epic poems by Hindi poet, Ramdhari Singh Dinakar on December 17.

November 22nd 2012
Published: November 22nd 2012
A very strange night last night. I was awoken by a commotion at 3am. Then, just as I was beginning to surface from deep sleep, an explosion. An explosion?! I lay in bed suddenly wide awake and frozen, this time not by cold but by fear, as the sound of falling debris and tinkling shards of glass hitting the ground subsided. What the fuck was going on?! A bomb? Some kind of rebel attack? A separatist strike at pro-India supporters? Whatever it was, it was close. Was my room next?!
I decided that the only thing to do was to get up and find out. Keeping the lights off, so as not to draw attention to myself, I drew back the curtain and peered in the direction that the sound was coming from. An ominous and eerie orange glow could be seen down the street, but I was unable to see its source due to the angle of the road. I was going to have to open the window. My mind did a quick Norton anti-virus style scan of my memory for any SCUK training advice that would discourage this: 0 files found. Gingerly I slid back the bolts, pushed open the window and peaked out.
It had been an explosion alright. The building next door but one was consumed by flames. I had no idea what was going on or if, indeed, I was in any danger, so searched the environment for clues: there didn't seem to be any cries for help coming from the burning structure, nor did there seem to be any panic stricken people running around screaming, so hopefully no-one trapped inside; the building on fire was definitely in no way attached to Adhoo's Hotel, so little chance of the fire spreading to here; the few people on the street seemed more curious about than perturbed by what was going on, so hopefully nothing more significant than an innocent fire; the sound of sirens could be heard in the distance, so help was on the way. I closed the window and returned to my bed to monitor by ear the ongoing drama.
Five minutes later, another explosion. Not so loud as the first but definitely an explosion. Then the power went out. Back to the window to see what was happening. No change. I think the explosion probably came from the same building: it certainly sounded like it did and the fire seemed even more intense. Back to bed. I did a quick security assessment in my head: a building on fire, two explosions, no signs of public alarm or panic, emergency services on the scene, no-one knocking at my door telling me to evacuate. Terrorist attack or fire leading to explosion of gas canisters etc inside the building? I'm going with the latter. I feel somewhat relieved, but the adrenaline is still pumping through my veins and bright red flashing warning lights – inactive since my time in PNG – have been triggered somewhere in my psyche and will not be deactivating any time soon.
No chance of sleep then. It's unexpected and strange to be feeling that long dormant sensation of survival alertness which I imagined had left me when I returned from PNG in 2001, but had clearly only been on standby. It's like a sudden sharp peak on the heart monitor of a patient that has been taken for dead. The familiarity of the emotion comes flooding back surprisingly quickly; it was always like this in PNG. You'd be happy, relaxed and everything would seem fine, and then all of a sudden, from nowhere, all hell would break loose. The burst of AK47s that awakes you in the middle of the night which you later find out is the police chasing some robbers through the school campus. The riot that breaks out in front of the staffroom as you walk in to work which turns out to be a dispute between students and landowners. The turmoil as a dismembered woman is found barley alive behind the students' dorms, later turning out to have been the victim of an axe attack by her husband who had found out she was cheating. Always the same feeling of going straight to DEFCOM 4, of being jarred violently out of your comfort zone and of becoming almost animalistic in your survival response.
The other day, during Ajay's and my induction to the office, Mustafa showed us a short documentary made a few years ago to celebrate 25 year of Infant Help International in J&K. In it, one of the previous programme directors talked about how – in order to reach the remote villages – they would have to trek along a frozen river during the winter months. As a safety measure, they would strap broom-handle sized sticks width ways along the bottom of their backpacks. That way, if the ice suddenly gave way, the stick would hopefully prevent any more than their legs going into the river below, and hold them suspended in the hole until their companions could drag them out. I thought about this as I lay in bed last night, listening to the burning building crackle away outside. Working in places like PNG, or in conflict contexts like J&K, it's easy to become relaxed, to believe that the state of calm is permanent. That's how I felt as I happily headed back to the hotel after dinner last night. But it's not. It can break as easily and unexpectedly as a sheet of ice, sending you free falling into the shocking and chilling reality of the turbulent currents underneath. If you're sensible you'll be prepared, and those preparation will save you from becoming a victim. And if you're really lucky, you'll have friends who can help pull you back onto the relative safety of the ice. The fire down the street may have been an innocent accident, but it served as a timely reminder that for the next five months I'll be walking on thin ice.
I'm now in my new – and hopefully permanent – accommodation. Relax Inn, a stone's throw away from fucking Pine fucking Hotel and yet a whole world away. Don't get me wrong, it's basic, but it's clean (relatively) and in a much better state of repair than fPfH. It also has carpet, which will hopefully make things a bit warmer, and a gas heater which I'm giving a try but don't hold out too much hope for. It's basically only effective within a six inch radius from the small metal gauze ball which is heated by the gas. My room is in essence being heated by something the size of a microphone. As I'm typing this, my left side – which faces the mic – is warmish whilst my right side – which faces the window – is on its way to Drass. I can also see my breath, which can't be good.
I moved in this morning and loved the room immediately. Like I said, not because it is a particularly glamorous space, but because it is MY space. I took the morning off work to unpack and set up home. It was such a great feeling to hang up clothes, put books on shelves, put socks in drawers and nic-nacs in cupboards. I'll need to buy a few things over the coming weeks to give it a bit more of a cosy feel – perhaps a rug, some better bedding, maybe new pillows – but it will be fun build a new, albeit temporary, home. Also, I'm on the first floor which means I'm high enough to keep opportunistic robbers at bay yet low enough to be able to jump out of the window if need be. Funny how having to think about things can become second nature so quickly.
Having emptied my bags (no £40, no USB stick) I pottered around for a while and then headed into work. And then headed straight out for lunch with Rahim. We went over to Hat Trick bakery, which it turns out is also a café, and who was there at his fish stall? Mr. Gillette! I was disappointed when he didn't clock me on the way into the restaurant, but on the way out he saw me, beamed a smile and waved a hello. In the cold light of day I thought to myself that he wasn't so much Mr. Gillette, maybe more Mr. Wilkinson Sword, maybe even Mr. Bic disposable. No, that's too harsh, but definitely not quite Mr. Gillette. Shame, I had such big plans for our benevolent fish frying empire.
My afternoon was spent completing my Learning and Development Plan and filling out my first Assignment Plan: An exploration of the work of Infant Help International Jammu and Kashmir in improving quality of care and developing processes of deinstitutionalisation in orphanages in the region. As I was finalizing the details with Mustafa, he turned to me and told me that the word on the street (i.e. amongst the staff) is that I'm a big hit: friendly, flexible, not like many other international staff they've known and easy to get along with. I was so chuffed, and it reminded me of a similar remark made by the deputy head a couple of months into my placement at the Papua New Guinean secondary school. As I've commented before, I feel lucky to have been blessed with the ability to get on easily with people, and know that it has much to do with the challenges I have faced fitting in to the world as a gay man.
As it was raining when we finished work, Mustafa offered to drop me at the hotel. And en route…Hat Trick Bakery! This guy is going to think I'm stalking him! Sure enough, a smile and a nod, and in the semi-dark he seemed to have once again been elevated to the status of Mr. Gillette. The problem is that I'm too embarrassed to look at him long enough to really check him out. We then nipped to a small shop (Mustafa and I, not Mr. Gillette and I) so that I could pick up some water and the cute guy who served me asked me where I'm staying! Honest to god, I swear these people are fucking with my head.
So, back at the hotel now and my neighbours are shitting all over my new home. Not literally, of course, but some people seem to have moved in next door and they have the TV on really loud! What makes it worse is that we have one of those adjoining doors that can be opened if it's a family straddling two rooms, so the sound is coming right through. I'll have to monitor that one over the coming days and weeks, and if the problem persists, a move to another (non-adjoining) room may be in order. Bollocks.
Things that I have not done since I came to India: I have not:
1.Spoken to my family.
2.Spoken to my UK friends, except Lynn.
3.Heard from my god children.
4.Heard from David.
5.Been up after 12pm (except to go to the loo and check out possible militia attacks).
6.Been to a bar.
8.Been on a bus.
9.Lost my temper.
10.Felt homesick.
How quickly life can change.

Marion and Bill enjoyed winters in Zephyrhills, Fla., skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain where they owned a chalet and their hunting camp in Howland. In summer, they entertained family and friends at their camp on Thomas Pond in Raymond.

Valentien. Views are sensational, but the food-- innovative California cuisine-- is even better. Executive Chef Jeff Jackson utilizes fresh, local ingredients to create menus that are ever-evolving depending upon the season, and what's on offer at farmer's markets.

The Hotel Concierge: Get the Most Out of Your Luxury Hotel Stay
Need last-minute dinner reservations at the hottest restaurant in town? A new passport within a matter of hours? A dog sitter or private plane? Or a knowledgeable personal shopper? Hotel concierges at leading luxury hotels can handle all of these requests, and more. Though their services are often overlooked by hotel guests, concierges are the unsung heroes in the hospitality industry, the stylish and savvy superheroes, the ultimate insiders who can offer the best tips about the city. Forbes has the skinny on getting super star service from concierges during your next trip. Call ahead of your reservation and share your itinerary; the concierge will reconfirm your dining reservations, and perhaps score special discounts (on, say, lift tickets in Aspen). And, advises Forbes, if you want access to the best (whether that's Broadway tickets or nightclub access), "choose your hotel carefully: Your concierge may be only as powerful as the name on the towels." Don't forget to tip.
Winter Escapes at Peninsula Hotels
This winter, enjoy a luxurious retreat at any participating Peninsula Hotel and receive an additional benefit ranging from spa treatment, dinner, traditional afternoon tea, airport transfer, or room upgrade. At the award-winning Peninsula Hong Kong, for example, choose from a 50-minute massage for two by ESPA, room upgrade to Superior Suite, or a set dinner for two at The Lobby. (If you reserve a suite, you can choose a 15-minute helicopter flight-seeing tour for two.) At the Peninsula New York, choose between afternoon tea for two in the Gotham Lounge, room upgrade, or a bottle of Champagne and a selection of canapés at The Bar at Fives. Other participating hotels include the Peninsula Chicago, Beverly Hills, Bangkok, Beijing, and Manila. Available from December 18 to April 8, 2007. In addition, stay in a suite at select Peninsula hotels and enjoy a complimentary second night with the Experience the Suite Life package.
Christmas New Orleans Style
During the month of December, New Orleans is the place to be. More than 100 festivities are planned during the month-long event of Christmas New Orleans Style, a celebration of uniquely Cajun holiday activities in a city that is steeped in traditions of the past. The events kicked off with the December 2 tree lighting ceremony at the French Market on Decatur Street, and continued with La Fête de Noël, a Christmas Market at the Royal Sonesta Hotel on December 3. Throughout the month, enjoy caroling, river cruises, candlelight tours through the historic houses of the French Quarter (decorated for the season), and Reveillon, a Creole dining tradition adapted by participating restaurants with holiday prix-fixe menus. Don't miss the Chef's Holiday Cooking Demonstrations, on December 7, 14, and 21, at The Shops at Canal Place. Acclaimed local chefs share their culinary secrets and favorite recipes (and an abundance of yummy samples are yours for the taking). Demos start at 3 pm and last 45 minutes.

Coming Soon: Mandarin Oriental Riviera Maya, Mexico
In recent years, Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula-- aka Riviera Maya-- has emerged as one of the hottest destinations on the planet. Upscale design hotels and dazzling eco-friendly resort communities such as Mayakoba are situated just south of Cancun on the stunning Caribbean coast surrounded by lush forest canopies, mangrove-lined waterways, and the azure of the Caribbean sea. Beyond the obvious tropical paradise (and the second largest coral reef in the world teeming with underwater life), there is a wealth of history to explore: the ancient cities and architectural wonders of the Mayan civilization. The Mandarin Oriental Riviera Maya is the latest luxury addition, slated to open in 2007 just 30 minutes south of Cancun International Airport and 10 minutes north of Playa del Carmen. Situated among 36 acres of white sand beaches and tropical forests, the resort consists of 128 villas overlooking the Caribbean and the Cenote (sacred Mayan freshwater lake). Villas are spacious, private havens, accessible by winding paths and waterways; guests will be escorted to their villas by golf cart or water taxi. Designed with bamboo flooring, indigenous stone, outdoor bathtubs, rainforest showers, and natural furnishings, the villas are further enhanced with art from highly reputed Mexican artists. The Grand Villas have private pools, and the Villa Presidencial boasts private butler and chef service. Mandarin Oriental's latest hideaway also features a 25,000 square foot spa with treatments drawing from ancient Mayan and Asian traditions.

Microsoft will announce Windows 9 on September 30 in San Francisco
We know Windows 9 is coming, but it looks like Microsoft is going to unveil its next desktop operating system on September 30, at a "Windows event" in San Francisco.
Microsoft has started emailing out its invites, with Joe Belfiore and Terry Myerson to lead the talks about the future of Windows. The event itself will also cover enterprise and power users, with a "Windows Technical Preview" expected to be unveiled shortly after, or hopefully even at the event itself.
We already know that Windows 9 will feature a new, new Start menu, virtual desktops, and a Notification Center. I'm sure we'll see some surprises in Windows 9, something we'll find out much more on in just a few days time.
Microsoft Windows 9 leaked screenshots reveal the desktop's return
Images reportedly leaked from Microsoft's upcoming Windows 9 operating system have hit the Internet, and indicate the desktop experience is back in full force. The official Windows Technical Preview should be available sometime in the next few weeks. Windows 9 should be released in April 2015, as Microsoft pushes ahead with the OS on PCs, notebooks, tablets and smartphones.
Even the Windows Store, a Metro app, has its own window running on the Windows 9 desktop. Similar to older versions of Windows, the window has an options screen on the left-hand side - and traditional minimize, maximize and close buttons in the right hand corner of the store.
Microsoft wanted to push users towards mobility with Windows 8, a touch-designed OS, but desktop and notebook users were not pleased. Despite being stable - and providing enhanced security features - than older versions of Windows, users weren't in a big hurry to abandon Windows 7 in favor of 8/8.1.

Microsoft Windows 8 making progress, but still trails other OSes
Microsoft is already looking ahead to Windows 9, but still hopes its struggling Windows 8 operating system will replace older versions. Windows 8 accounted for 6.28 percent market share while Windows 8.1 had 7.09 percent market share in August, according to Web analytics company Net Applications.
Meanwhile, Windows 7 still leads with 51.21 percent market share, and Windows XP - the recently retired OS - still accounts for 23.89 percent market share, as it continues to slide. Despite a large marketing campaign, including pushing its value-added resellers (VARs) to sell Windows 8/8.1-powered devices, Microsoft has struggled to entice users to the touch-centric OS.
Microsoft "Threshold," which will be Windows 9, is expected to launch in preview mode at the end of September - and a full release is scheduled for April 2015. The software company will include a Start menu and has made changes to try to woo users away from Windows 7.
Windows 9 logo teased, with Microsoft's next OS 'coming soon'
Microsoft China has just unofficially teased Windows 9 through a post on Weibo the company asked "Microsoft's latest OS Windows 9 is coming soon, do you think the start menu at the left bottom will make a come back?: and teased the Windows 9 logo, below.
The post was quickly removed, but this is the Internet - so now we have a very clear look at the possible logo for Microsoft's next desktop operating system. Microsoft is holding a press event on September 30 where it should announce Windows 9, with a Technology Preview to be made available to developers and enterprise users sometime late this month or early October.
Microsoft sat down with Cyanogen recently, so did Amazon and Samsung
Cyanogen is definitely doing alright for themselves at the moment, with the company meeting with some of the biggest companies in the world recently. Microsoft, Samsung, Amazon, Yahoo and more have met with the company "to see whether it becomes a potential partner or acquisition target."
Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella, recently sat down with Cyanogen, which could be interesting for the company. Given that Cyanogen is a modified version of Android, which is owned by Google, Microsoft acquiring the guys and girls at Cyanogen could be something interesting for the future of Windows Phone.
Cyanogen is currently in search for a "big" Series C funding round, and with recent staff movements from EA and Facebook, it could get quite serious, quite quick for Cyanogen.
Huawei boss says it won't use Tizen, doesn't think it will last
The clock is still ticking on Tizen, but Huawei boss Richard Yu thinks that Android and iOS will continue to dominate for the foreseeable future. In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Yu said that his company has no plans to use the Linux-based open-source mobile OS, an OS that is backed by companies like Intel and Samsung.
Carriers have reportedly been asking Huawei to build a Tizen-based smartphone, with Huawei considering it at one point, researching into it. The project was cancelled, as the company feels that Tizen has no chance at being successful. Yu was also asked if Huawei was thinking of building its own mobile OS, but Yu was quick to point out that it isn't hard to build an OS - using Microsoft and Windows Phone as an example - that its the ecosystem behind it that is more important, and much harder to build.
Building a Windows Phone-based smartphone isn't profitable to Huawei, as it finds it hard to convince customers to use a Windows Phone device compared to an Android device. The company has now put all of its future Windows Phone devices on hold, concentrating solely on Android. Yu is aware that Huawei is putting all of its faith, and the future of the company (as we know it now anyway) into Android, but they have no other choice. Yu added that Huawei has a strong relationship with Google.
Android 'L' should arrive as Lemon Meringue Pie, or Android 5.0
We still don't know much about Google's next blip on the Android radar, simply known as Android 'L' or Android 5.0 right now. But Android Police have been doing some digging on Android L, finding evidence that Google might be using the codename of "Lemon Meringue Pie" for Android 5.0.
The site has been looking into it, as well as one of their readers chipping in, where they have located "multiple official sources in code and documentation that list the next release as "LMP," which can only refer to the delicious baked good". Better yet, they found an extract from the Android SDK, where it mentioned the current preview builds of Android L available for both the Nexus 5 and 7 are the "lmp-preview-release".
Then there's some Wi-Fi certification for a new tablet from HTC, known as "Flounder", which has popped up before as the Volantis. The firmware here is noted as "LMP". We should hopefully hear more about Android L, 5.0 or Lemon Meringue Pie in the coming months.
Microsoft rumored to unveil Windows 9 on September 30
It looks like Microsoft could unveil its new version of Windows as previously reported, with Windows 9 to be unveiled at a special media event on September 30, according to The Verge.
We should see this event have Microsoft unleash a preview version of the OS, codenamed Threshold. Windows 9 will deliver an evolution of Microsoft's ever-changing desktop OS, where we'll see a new Start Menu, virtual desktops, the removal of the Charms bar, and much more. We should also see Microsoft include its digital assistant Cortana, but we don't know if this will make it into the preview build or not.
Microsoft rumored to release Windows 9 preview as soon as next month
Microsoft is ramping up for Windows Threshold, the codename of its upcoming next-gen OS, Windows 9. The Redmond-based giant is reportedly set to launch a preview release of Windows 9 in either late September, or early October, according to ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley.
The company will make the Windows 9 preview available to all, so that everyone can test it out. We should expect the new, new Start menu, as well as new live tiles and the ability to run Metro applications in windows. The Charms bar should be gone, with Metro apps seeing their own embedded search, share and print buttons.
Another big feature to expect in Windows 9 is virtual desktop support, which is the first time Microsoft has baked in native support for users. We should also see the company's digital assistant Cortana featured, but we don't know if this will make the early preview build. The best part of Windows 9 is the rumor that it could eventually be released for free to Windows XP, Vista and 7 users.
Charms menu in Windows 9 ditched, Microsoft to offer virtual desktops
We're starting to hear more and more about Windows 9, but what big changes should we expect with Microsoft's new desktop OS? For starters, we should be treated with a new Start Menu, as well as windowed "Metro-style" apps.
Beyond that, it looks like Microsoft will be removing its Charms bar, which is an overlay from the right hand side of the OS that gives users quick access to search, share, the Start screen, devices and settings. This new information is being reported by The Verge, which has seen the changes in the latest builds of Windows Threshold, the codename for Microsoft's upcoming OS. Charms are useful for touch-based systems, something I often used to quickly search for something on my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Ultrabook, but outside of that, it's close to useless on traditional mouse and keyboard setups.
Another new addition to Windows 9 is the rumored virtual desktops feature, that will see power users and enterprise customers welcoming the new OS. Windows has supported virtual desktops before, but always through third-party software, but now Windows 9 users will be capable of creating their own separate active desktops, with the ability of switching between by clicking, or tapping a button on the taskbar. The addition of virtual desktops shows that Microsoft is getting serious about its focus on the desktop.

SHERWOOD, ORE-- One of the area's newest shopping centers is taking shape. Parkway Village at Sherwood has Walmart as the anchor store.
Since the project was announced last July, there was controversy.
Despite the protest from some residents, the project has moved forward. The outside walls of the Walmart are up. It took 60,000 concrete blocks to build the 150,000-square-foot store.
This is the first phase of what will eventually be a 50-acre development at the intersection of Highway 99 and Sherwood Road.
It sits on property once part of the Langer family farm, which goes back 150 years in Sherwood.
Gramor Development is handling the project. The company also developed two other large retail centers in Sherwood including The Langer Shopping Center with Target as the major tenant and also an adjacent Albertson's shopping center.
In addition to the hundreds of construction jobs, Parkway Village will create 600 full-time jobs when it opens this fall.
We're back in business. We're developing retail centers because their is growth in the area and the retailers feel confident to open new businesses and they can get loans and do what they need to do, said Barry Cain, president of Gramor Development.
The center will also feature an outdoor plaza, and five other buildings for an additional 60,000 square feet of space for restaurants, banking and medical services.
Already six retailers have sign on. Gramor plans to include a 4-acre wetland project that will be planted this fall Walmart plans to open in sometime this fall.

Robert Moberly (priest)
Robert Campbell Moberly (26 July 1845 – 8 June 1903) was an English theologian and the first Principal of St Stephen's House, Oxford (1876–1878).
He was the son of George Moberly, Bishop of Salisbury, and faithfully maintained the traditions of his father's teaching. Educated at Twyford School, Winchester and New College, Oxford, he was appointed senior student of Christ Church in 1867 and tutor in 1869. In 1876 he went out with Bishop Copleston to Ceylon for six months.
After his return he became the first head of St Stephen's House, Oxford (1876–1878), and then, after presiding for two years over the Theological College at Salisbury, where he acted as his father's chaplain, he accepted the college living of Great Budworth in Cheshire in 1880, and the same year married Alice, the daughter of his father's predecessor, Walter Kerr Hamilton. In 1892, Lord Salisbury made him Regius Professor of Pastoral Theology at the University of Oxford and a Canon of Christ Church Cathedral in that city.[1] He was appointed an Honorary Chaplain to Queen Victoria in July 1898,[2] and in early January 1901 was appointed Chaplain-in-Ordinary to Her Majesty.[3] The Queen died later that month, and Moberly was re-appointed Chaplain-in-Ordinary to her successor King Edward VII.
After a long period of delicate health he died at Christ Church. He was the father of Walter Hamilton Moberly and Robert Hamilton Moberly.
His chief writings were:
- 1889: "The Incarnation as the Basis of Dogma", an essay in Lux Mundi
- 1891: Belief in a Personal God, a paper
- 1896: Reason and Religion, a protest against the limitation of the reason to the understanding
- 1897: Ministerial Priesthood
- 1901: Atonement and Personality. In this last work, by which he is chiefly known, he aimed at presenting an explanation and a vindication of the doctrine of the Atonement by the help of the conception of personality. Rejecting the retributive view of punishment, he describes the sufferings of Christ as those of the perfect "Penitent," and finds their expiatory value to lie in the Person of the Sufferer, the God-Man.

"What does it mean to be a Jew?" Momo begins his religious disquisition, before offering his own grim assessment. "For my dad, it means being depressed all day. For me, it's just something that prevents me from being something else." Not for long, though. When Momo's father finally abandons him, Ibrahim's Koran lessons begin to take effect. France's Jewish and Muslim problems dissolve into a kinder, gentler Islam.
Director François Dupeyron's previous film, The Officer's Ward, was a strange World War I drama about a wounded soldier's facial disfigurement. Here he shows the same attention to physiognomy and period detail. Momo's crimson shirt or his favorite streetwalker's polka-dot green dress float by like intoxicating visions. Dupeyron is attuned to the nuances of youthful passion and its dashed hopes. And he's got rhythmin Monsieur Ibrahim, he captures the beat of rock 'n' roll hipsters and (in one memorable sequence) a trio of whirling dervishes.
But his element is la France profonde, and here he's pretty far out of it. Monsieur Ibrahim is unusual in its ambition to pose deep spiritual questions, but its enticing surfacesincluding the beautiful working girls and Isabelle Adjani's surprise cameo as a Bardot-esque starletare the best thing about it. Sharif's smoothly professional performance emphasizes Ibrahim's warmth and humanity. His murky mysticism occasionally touches the sublime, but is more often of the dime-store variety. And Dupeyron's portrait of Jewish home life is weirdly gruesome. Momo's mother is simply missing in action; his remarkably penny-pinching father (an anti-Semitic cliché) is no role model. These latter aspects of the story trouble the calm waters of metaphysical reflection and mar a film of considerable grace.

In a severe jolt, the Left parties were rendered virtually politically irrelevant in the elections to the 16th Lok Sabha winning only 10 seats, down from 24 in the previous House.
The total vote-share of CPI(M), CPI, RSP and Forward Bloc drastically slided from about seven per cent in 2009 general elections to 4.5 per cent this time round, according to official all-India data. CPI(M)'s vote share declined from 5.33 per cent in 2009 polls to 3.2 per cent and CPI's from 1.43 per cent to 0.8 per cent. RSP and Forward Bloc got 0.3 and 0.2 per cent vote share respectively in these elections.
Of the total 10 seats the Left won, nine were of CPI(M) and one of CPI, with six coming from Kerala and two each from Tripura and West Bengal. The most drastic decline was in West Bengal where Left once ruled for uninterrupted 34 years. Poll data from the state showed CPI(M) getting 22.7 per cent vote share, CPI 2.3, RSP 2.4 and Forward Bloc 2.1 -- totalling 29.5 per cent of the total votes in the state. The number their seats fell from 15 in the last Lok Sabha to only two this time, prompting CPI(M) General Secretary Prakash Karat to even term the poll results as "distorted" due to the alleged rigging and violence by Trinamool Congress.
He also said, "We are not prepared to accept this result as it does not reflect the actual position, the strength and support of the Left parties. We cannot accept it as our percentage of votes has fallen from 41 per cent in the 2009 elections to 29-30 per cent (in the state)." In Kerala, RSP, which broke away from the Left Democratic Front just ahead of these elections and joined the Congress- led United Democratic Front, won a single seat defeating senior CPI(M) leader and former MP M A Baby.
However, the situation in Tripura was quite favourable for CPI(M) which won both the seats with margins of over five lakh and 4.8 lakh votes. The party's vote-share in the state was a whopping 64 per cent. The drubbing in West Bengal saw stalwarts like Basudeb Acharia, CPI(M) leader in 15th Lok Sabha, and senior CPI MP Prabodh Panda losing to first-timers and cine stars Moon Moon Sen and Sandhya Roy respectively. CPI leader Gurudas Dasgupta had earlier decided not to contest these polls.
Several sitting CPI(M) MPs like Ramchandra Dome, Pulin Behari Baske, Sk Saidul Haque and Sushmita Bauri also lost to Trinamool Congress nominees, many of them absolute freshers.

Re: New iPad overheating? in response to BeersYourFriend
i guess we all need to get
http://www.icelsius.com/index.php to take our ipads temperature.
but on a serious note does anybody know of an app to let you see the temp that ios device is running at ?
obviously apple has sensors in there that tell the ipad to shut down at a certain degree

Re: New iPad overheating? in response to faatty
My iPad starts to heat up, but it has not gotten uncomfortably hot. I lowered my brightness the other day, but raised it up today because I was in a lighting situation where I needed it brighter. I am on it right now and I am not feeling heat right now. It is getting slightly warm. I haven't started to worry about it. I think because it has a bigger battery and all, that some heat is to be expected. It is still just slightly warm. Just adding my bit.

Very hot! Playing new COD and having your hands sweat and trying to slide finger across screen becomes very difficult on new IPad. Gets about 108%. Too hot. Please fix apple.

High performance machine souped up runs the parts harder. I replaced a gen 1. Nice high tech machine. gen 1 on steroids. Love it. Next for us will be the gen five in two years.
Who cares if it's warm? Rather have less memory or a less faster machine?

Re: New iPad overheating? in response to Tjtherealdeal
I am sorry you are having that trouble. I have not had that experience. Mine is just warm, not really hot to the touch. I am really sorry that yours is getting that hot. Take it back if it is that hot and uncomfortable. There apparently is a problem with yours.

Re: New iPad overheating? in response to ObjectiveTC
Pulling up the taskbar, my brightness slider is just slightly above the 50% mark. I'm watching my Star Trek I rental (HD version) and have been for the past 45 minutes now. The sides and back of the iPad are actually slightly cool to the touch, though I am in my basement, but ambient temp is 22c right now.
I've experienced zero heat from the iPad when browsing. I was doing some really heavy browsing last night looking over comparisons between UDK and Unity for iOS development and was flicking between 5-6 tabs at any given time for about 2 hours. Many of the web pages had animated ads and content. I didn't notice any heat from the unit. You should absolutely not be experiencing overheating while browsing! If you're gaming on it for 2 hours straight, with it in a case, then perhaps I could see it getting a bit toasty as it is a passively cooled device.
I'm hoping that I won't suffer any extreme heat issues from my new iPad as I really like it so far. I bought my Dad an iPad 2 for Christmas and as soon as he started playing with it, I wanted one for myself! I knew Apple was announcing something in March, so figured I'd suffer and wait. So far I'm glad I did. I feel bad for those of you that are suffering from overheating issues.
After reading some of these updates, it seems like there might be a battery issue on some of these iPads. Very strange.

"According to the site's measurements, Cupertino's flagship slab reached 33.6 degrees centigrade (92.5 Fahrenheit), compared to 28.3 centigrade (82.9 Fahrenheit) with the iPad 2"
I wouldn't consider that "burning hot" by any means. Interesting.

Re: New iPad overheating? in response to faatty
Mine is ipad 16GB wifi Black. It gets overheated after 15 minutes of usage. It's not too hot to hold but it's considerably warm compared to my ipad 2.

Re: New iPad overheating? in response to buffguru
Yes, my "new Ipad" is also draining the battery very very fast without even using it that much and also is getting very hot and make it uncomfortable to use.
My son (5 yo) complained yesterday of "burned hand" while playing with this ipad and when I went to help him I could feel that indeed it was very hot for an adult, tooooo hot for a kid.
I want to know what is going on because as it is I don't feel safe to let my kid play with the ipad.
Shame because he has adopted my previous ipad and ipad2 without any problem and now I have to restrict him to play with this "new iPad".
I hope apple reply to our concerns very soon!
I purchased iPad 64Gb 4G

Re: New iPad overheating? in response to cyborg_kangaroo
I am writing this post on my iPad 2 which is cool as a cucumber. Thank goodness I hung onto it because the new iPad is going back for a refund. I just ran 25 minutes of a Netflix movie on both .. and the new model is too hot to hold comfortably. It actually started heating up while I was reading email and browsing some of my photos. Hah. My laptop can do that without heating up.
And can I just be the first to say it: the Retina display is overrated. Oh, sure the icons are a little more crisp, but you call that an innovation? Until I put it side by side with the 2, I really could not tell any difference.
On top of the heat problem, the battery runs down more quickly on the new one.
Maybe the iPad 4th generation will be worth the money. The 3rd gen. Is not. I am loving my 2 even more than before.

Re: New iPad overheating? in response to faatty
I am very happy my iPad now runs very cold, it's nice, I am keeping the batery under 50% life and brightness 85%, I like that but what else I can do if apple says this is normal :( hope this help someone.

Re: What do you keep in your Dock Box?
Polishes, Teak oils, Wax. Ultra spare dock lines, extra shore pwoer cord ( one already on the boat. I have them all aranged in different sized milk crates. Also have a dremel, an extra hose, and of all things a small electric power washer. Oour club requires similar dock boxes for all of them and they are on overhandgs at the head of our slips.
Some of my dockmates have targets drawn on them as they have hit them a few times. If you do that twice in our club you get awarded the skunk burgee which you must promenently display under the club bergee until someone else hots their dockbox or performs and extroadinary menuever when docking thier boat.
The power washer is great for getting the dirt out of the non skid, hitting the water line scum but you must keep it away from the teak and the cannvas
Since our is out on the dock we have two drain holes in it so that should the water ever reach over the dock, it wont bust loose ( it has 4 times Sandy, Irene). It also makes it easy to clean and drain when washing it out.

Author(s): Inhorn, Marcia C.

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
Middle Eastern Muslim men have been widely vilified as terrorists, religious zealots, and brutal oppressors of women. The New Arab Man challenges these stereotypes with the stories of ordinary Middle Eastern men as they struggle to overcome infertility and childlessness through assisted reproduction.
Drawing on two decades of ethnographic research across the Middle East with hundreds of men from a variety of social and religious backgrounds, Marcia Inhorn shows how the new Arab man is self-consciously rethinking the patriarchal masculinity of his forefathers and unseating received wisdoms. This is especially true in childless Middle Eastern marriages where, contrary to popular belief, infertility is more common among men than women. Inhorn captures the marital, moral, and material commitments of couples undergoing assisted reproduction, revealing how new technologies are transforming their lives and religious sensibilities. And she looks at the changing manhood of husbands who undertake transnational "egg quests"--set against the backdrop of war and economic uncertainty--out of devotion to the infertile wives they love.
Trenchant and emotionally gripping, The New Arab Man traces the emergence of new masculinities in the Middle East in the era of biotechnology.

Nice early necklace with attached pendant in a floral design with leaves and longer gold tone composition buds. The chain has similar colored beads and a fairly long chain measuring 2 6 1/2 inches with no clasp. The pendant portion is 2 x 1 3/16 inches. The buds and beads look to be in excellent vintage condition especially for the age. I would like to call this an antique but it looks like it could be earlier that the twenties or thirties but nothing to indicate an earlier time period.

About 3 or 4 weeks ago, someone was asking if plant material treated with weed killer could be composted. I said I would ask Garden Organic who train us Compost Masters. They lost my original email, despite acknowledging it and have now got back to me. There are some weed killers that MAY be OK, but it is best not to put this material in a home composter. The huge composting places that the Councils use are ok with this stuff as it is hot composting and the sheer amount of plant material dilutes the weed killer, which eventually bio-degrades.
It does look a bit dainty for serious work
25 k isn't that heavy. But you could take a couple of buckets with you (and a pair of scissors) when you go to buy and decant some of the slate into those.
...or just wrap the stuff in newspaper and put the whole package on the compost
Here in Norfolk they take away kitchen waste in little bio-degradable bags, which we buy from the council. I saw in a shop today something similar which will rot down in 180 days, could this help?
Bob, I never would have thought of that I think you may be right
MrsT, I have several Heucheras on the rock garden where they are in semi-shade, which they seem to love. When I had one in a sunny flower bed it always looked a bit tired
