Game 4, Sept. 28, in Chestnut Hill, Mass., broadcast TBA, time TBA — Second Atlantic Coast Conference game and first since the Labor Day opener against Pittsburgh ... Follow Brad Milner on Twitter: @PCNHBradMilner ...
Florida State goes on the road for the second time and first since traveling to Pittsburgh on Labor Day to face a Boston College team that sunk to the depths of the Atlantic Coast Conference last season. The Eagles were 2-10 overall and 1-7 in ACC games with the lone win coming against Maryland by three points. The nonconference win came against Maine of the Football Championship Subdivision.
This is the fourth game for both teams. FSU will have a lot of momentum built with two straight games against lesser opponents. Boston College has a previous trip out West to USC and will likely be licking wounds after opening with games against Villanova and Wake Forest.
Former Florida assistant Steve Addazio took over as head coach at Boston College after one of the Eagles' worst seasons under Frank Spaziani. Addazio spent two seasons at Temple and led the Owls to a 13-11 mark. Addazio's offenses have traditionally been known for balance, but that's an easy endeavor when you have Tim Tebow as your quarterback.
That said, Boston College does have returning pieces for improvement on offense. Chase Rettig is back at quarterback for his senior year and he's proved to be one of the ACC's best when he's consistent. He tossed for more than 3,000 yards last season with 17 touchdowns and 13 interceptions, but had one of his worst games in a 51-7 drubbing against FSU in Tallahassee.
Rettig also has his top wide receiver and running back in the fold for 2013. Alex Amidon hauled in 78 receptions for 1,210 yards and seven scores. Andre Williams led all rushers with 599 yards while playing in nine games, eight of those starts.
Williams and the other Eagles' running backs will be tasked with turning around a rushing attack that managed only 93 yards per game in 2012. Rettig was the catalyst with an average of 255 yards per game.
Offense wasn't the major problem for Boston College last season. A usually competitive and tough defense was anything but, as teams ran all over the Eagles, literally. They gave up 215 yards rushing per game, a figure that ranked near the bottom of the national rankings.
Boston College also surrendered nearly 30 points per game. FSU was among three ACC teams to score 40 or more points against the Eagles.
Addazio has a lot of work ahead of him to bring Boston College back to respectability. The Eagles were routinely a team to contend with in the ACC, some years more so than others, and he will be given a few seasons to rebuild. It won't be pretty early, however.
- FSU's top returning players: RB Devonta Freeman (695 yards, five touchdowns), RB James Wilder Jr. (635 yards, 11 TDs), WR Rashad Greene (741 yards receiving, 307 punt return yards, eight total TDs), WR Kelvin Benjamin (495 yards, four TDs), OL Cameron Erving, OL Tre' Jackson, LB Christian Jones (95 tackles, seven for loss), LB Telvin Smith (64 tackles, 9½ for loss), DB Terrence Brooks (52 tackles, two interceptions), DB Tyler Hunter (26 tackles, three INTs, one punt return for TD), DT Timmy Jernigan (46 tackles, 1½ sacks), DE Mario Edwards Jr. (17 tackles, 1½ sacks)
- Boston College's top returning players: QB Chase Rettig (3,065 yards, 17 TDs, 13 Ints), RB Andre Williams (599 yards, four TDs), WR Alex Amidon (1,120 yards, seven TDs), WR Spiffy Evans (1,000 total return yards, one punt return for TD), PK Nate Freese (18 for 20 field goals, 48 long, 24 for 24 on extra points), LB Steele Divitto (92 tackles), DB Sean Sylvia (86 tackles, one Int), LB Kevin Pierre-Louis (85 tackles, two sacks)
First-glance prediction: Boston College will be reeling from what will be a rough California trip and the possibility of two straight losses. FSU will only add to the woes with a blowout victory.
Next week: A look at FSU's return home for an early-October date with Maryland.

Notice in this picture of some of my whipped honey how stiff it is. It will hang to a spoon at room temperature. Some people think that whipped honey is honey with something added to it, or that it has been spun. That is not the case. Whenever I describe what whipped honey is and how to make it, it seems that people are so surprised they almost don't believe me. See if you have the same reaction.

Questions regarding Corvette performance used to be about horsepower, track times, and 100-to-0-mph braking tests. Today, though, vintage-Corvette performance is more often measured by how much these cars earn on the auction block. Given the sickly economy, some have worried if the infection might have spread to America's favorite sports car. What follows is our latest diagnosis.
Overall, the Corvette market is healthy, albeit with a few exceptions. On a volume of 1,776 Corvettes offered through auction over the past 12 months, 64 percent actually sold. If Corvettes were a major-league baseball team, they'd be a contender for the World Series.
To be specific, we'll break the market break down into three basic categories-halo cars, mainstream collectibles, and entry-level enthusiast cars. Each points to a positive market trend in its own way.
Halo Cars
Halo cars are Corvettes with historical significance that helped elevate the marque. The typical buyer in the segment is purchasing for prestige first and investment second. These are the cars auction houses tout as top sellers, as they typically earn the highest bids for the event. In a sluggish economy, the volume, grade, and price of these top-tier offerings are usually all down.
Even so, we've seen an increase in the number of these cars offered, as well as a near total sell-through rate. Prices have also been strong. The reason is simple: Those who can afford cars like these, which range from $100,000 to a million dollars or more, have been minimally impacted by the economic downturn. These cars typically represent the pinnacle of the concours lifestyle, are seldom driven (if at all), and are kept in private museums.
C1s made a strong showing in the halo category, with four cars topping $200,000. The most paid for a first-generation Corvette in recent memory was $247,500, for the '61 roadster drag-raced by "Big John" Mazmanian. The sale took place at the RM Icons of Speed & Style event, held at the Petersen Automotive Museum in September 2009. According to the RM Catalog, the car was meticulously restored in "as raced" concours condition, featuring a 316ci supercharged Chevy V-8, a four-speed manual transmission, four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes, and a supplemental braking parachute. Big John was a pivotal figure in the West Coast drag-racing scene, and his Corvette was one of the more important competition vehicles of the early '60s. The huge money it brought at auction is proof of how the collector community honors the accomplishments of cars like these.
A more recent example of a first-generation Corvette pulling down a big number came at the RM Classic Cars Monterey, in August 2010. It was an excellent example of a first-year Corvette, featuring the 253ci "Blue Flame" inline six-cylinder engine and a two-speed automatic transmission. The auction rated the car "#1" condition, despite citing minor cosmetic imperfections. It still earned a healthy $220,000. One of only 300 ever produced, the car hailed from the collection of the late John O'Quinn.
Second-generation Corvettes have always been collector darlings, but sales of counterfeit 427 Tri-Power roadsters have impacted all but the most well-documented and well-pedigreed midyears. Still, with 484 examples offered and an average bid price of $74,706.53, it's clear these cars still occupy the minds of most Corvette collectors. Mecum at Monterey 2010 brought the year's biggest midyear sale, in the form of a '67 L88 427 roadster.
RPO L88 was the endurance-racing option package that brought forged rods, 12:5.1 pistons, a Holley 850 carb, an M22 four-speed, an F41 heavy-duty suspension, a G81 Posi rear differential, and J56 four-wheel heavy-duty disc brakes. This particular Tuxedo Black example looked as though it were cut from volcanic glass, with obsidian fenders sharp enough to slice the competition during a pass.
As with any car with a race heritage, the more prominent and successful the races, the more valuable the vehicle. Tony DeLorenzo was the driver during this car's dominance in SCCA A-Production class racing. But all the right options and even a distinguished race history do not necessarily command the astonishing $1.25 million the car's new owner paid. Low production, high desirability, originality, concours correctness, and a tremendous history all have to be backed up by proper documentation. This one had it in spades, with a letter of authenticity from the original driver, the original Protect-O-Plate and 1967 title, Bloomington Gold Certification, and NCRS Top Flight status.
Third-generation cars also enjoyed halo status this season, with a '69 L88 coupe earning more than $400,000 at RM's 2010 San Diego Classic Muscle Auction. Again, all the ingredients were there. Designed as a Cobra hunter for SCCA competition, only 116 '69 L88s were unleashed from the St. Louis production line. Finished in one-of-one Monza Red over Saddle, and showing a provable 2,265 original miles, this particular car had all the ingredients. In addition to a pile of purchase documents from the original owner, the car was also highly decorated, boasting Bloomington Gold, NCRS Top Flight, and the Chevy Vette Fest Gold Spinner-the "triple crown" of Corvette awards.

ShinyStyle Loves: Twisted Twee
I don't usually get all jump about excited about a brand but the quirkyness of Twisted Twee has made me do just that.
The label focuses on lifestyle, menswear and and of course womens wear, adding a twist to the traditional printed t-shirts that are available. We heart the little sets for mum and baby, but also the huge range of pillows and cookery items, which are available. There's also novelty knickers, bicycle gloves and maternity wear, which all make perfect gifts.
I'm really struggling not to get the credit card out, and once you've taken a look I'm sure you'll have exactly the same issue. See the gallery below for some kooky examples.

Portrait of a Man
Although the coat of arms in the upper left corner offers a clue to this sitter's lineage, his identity remains unknown. Extending his left hand through the simulated oval frame and into the viewer's space, the elegantly attired young man displays a painted miniature of a young woman, perhaps his betrothed or his wife. Before the advent of photography in the nineteenth century, portrait miniatures—both portable and intimate—permitted their owners an immediate access to the memory and appearance of loved ones. The fact that this young man's identity is forgotten seems particularly ironic, since both the miniature and the larger portrait were intended as remembrances.

On the Go
Whether you're going on vacation or out shopping, there are a number of ways you can reduce waste and conserve resources!
Quick Tips:
- If staying in a hotel, check the bedding and linen policy with housekeeping. Some hotels ask that the customer request the bedding or linen be laundered by putting a specific note card on the bed and leaving the towels on the floor. This practice conserves water resources. If your hotel does not follow this practice, use a comment card to ask them to adopt it.
- When you're at the mall, don't get a new shopping bag for every item-combine bags or put them in your backpack. (And be sure to hold onto the receipt!)
- When you leave your hotel room, switch off the air conditioning, lights, and TV to reduce energy use.
- Before you leave home, adjust the air conditioning and water heater thermostats to conserve energy.
- While on your trip, remember to take only the amount of products that you need from restaurants or lodgings. Take only napkins, condiment packets, free brochures, maps, or coupons that you will actually use.

Personal Variable Annuity Contract
Personal Variable Annuity is a group variable annuity contract for employer-sponsored qualified and non-qualified retirement plans, issued by Principal Life Insurance Company (the "Company"). The Company no longer offers this Contract. This information is only for the use of the current Contract owners.
Variable annuities are long term investments thus are not suitable for everyone; earnings grow tax-deferred; and withdrawals prior to age 59 ½ may result in a 10% penalty tax.
The initial offering of the Personal Variable Annuity Contract was 1992. The separate account that funds the contract was established on January 12, 1970.
The investment results shown represent historical returns based upon the assumption that the Personal Variable Annuity Contract was available for the periods shown. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data shown. For more performance information, including most recent month-end performance, visit our Web site at www.principal.com and click on "Rates & Values."
Except where noted, investment results include all charges and expenses, excluding any additional charges for riders.
An investment in the Money Market Subaccount is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. Although the underlying mutual fund invested in by the subaccount seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, the subaccount itself does not seek to maintain a stable net asset value. It is possible to lose money investing in this subaccount.
Equity investment options involve greater risk, including heightened volatility, than fixed-income investment options. Fixed-income investment options are subject to interest rate risk, and their value will decline as interest rates rise. Fixed-income investment options that invest in mortgage securities are subject to increased risk due to real estate exposure.
Before investing in a variable annuity, investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the contract and its underlying investment options.
This and other information is contained in the free prospectus and, if available, the summary prospectus which can be obtained online or by calling customer service at (800) 852-4450.
Please read the prospectus and, if available, the summary prospectus carefully before investing.
A separate account's share price and investment return will vary with market conditions, and the principal value of an investment when you sell your shares may be more or less than the original cost.

Yeah, out Dewey Decimnal System can be a bit weird at times. You'll find a lot of fiction scattered about with nonfiction numbers like this. It happens quite a lot with anthologies of myths, fairy tales, and other kinds of stories that don't easily classify as being the work of an author.
I suppose that "The Science of Discworld" would also be classified as a nonfiction book as well.

Floor Polisher Parts
If you have wooden floors then it is mandatory that you invest in a good floor polisher. Though the wooden floors give the rooms a warm and golden tone, taking care of them can be tricky if you're not very careful. Wooden floors can be easily scratched, excess moisture and chemicals can damage the wood. Here we look at how to use a floor polisher on a wooden floor.
How to use Floor Polisher on Wooden Floors
•Clean the floor with a soft brushed broom or a vacuum cleaner before using the floor polisher.
•Ensure that the pad of the floor polisher is clean and sparkling. Buff the floor with the pad from one corner to another until the entire room is covered.
•You can either use a floor wax or make a all natural floor polish at home. In a double boiler heat 2 cups of mineral oil and 1 tbsp beeswax. Once they are melted drizzle the mixture evenly over the floor.
•Slide a new pad into the floor polisher. Slowly move the floor polisher from the back of the room to the front in gentle motions. The slow and gentle motion of the floor polisher over the polish will bring a glow and sparkle to the floor.
If you are planning to invest in a good floor polisher look no further than GoVacuum.com. Here we deal with only the top most brands such as Bissell, Bosch, Carpet, Dyson and so on. The floor polisher replacements such as pads, shower feed brush, roller brush are available with us. GoVacuum.com is a one stop for all your cleaning solutions.

BakFlip HD Tonneau Cover
Just when you thought it couldn't get any better than a BakFlip G2, BAK Industries proudly introduces the BakFlip HD all aluminum hard folding tonneau cover. This awesome truck bed cover encompasses all the great features of the G2 tonneau and more. It is produced from aircraft grade aluminum and offers refined features from powder-coated components to a thicker core. It is built to outlast your truck and will handle a whopping 400 lbs of weight on top of it. The BakFlip HD tonneau cover is backed by an unparalleled 2 year factory warranty and is as elegant and stealth as you can imagine. If you're a person that will settle for nothing less than the absolute best OE quality truck bed cover out there, then the BakFlip HD is the tonneau cover for you.
Each panel is locked into place with latches and can easily be opened with the pull cable.
The HD can be installed in less than an hour without drilling into the truck bed.
Fold the cover up to the cab for full-bed access. Rubber bumpers protect the cab from impacts.
Weather resistant and extremely durable seals made of EPDM. Flush hinges added for a "No-Profile" look.
The rails collect and guide water to the front of the bed where it is emptied through drainage tubes.
Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer top panel with a textured finish and a powder-coated aluminum bottom.
Q. Is this cover waterproof?
A. No cover is 100% waterproof, but the Bakflip covers have a patented water drainage system that works great. Water flows down a track and out drainage tubes.
Q. Does this cover lock?
A. The cover requires the tailgate to be opened first. So, if your tailgate is locked, the bed of the truck is secure.
Q. Can I stand on this cover?
A. This cover is rated to hold 500 lbs evenly distributed across the cover. But, if you want to stand on it, we recommend that you fold it up twice to where all panels are stacked behind the cab. This will give you an excellent platform.
Q. How long does it take to install?
A. Standard installation usually only takes 30 minutes to an hour. However, the installation will vary depending on the person and the truck.
Q. Is this cover easy to remove?
A. Yes, you can remove the panels quickly with no tools. But most truck owners find they don't need to remove it since they can fold and secure it against the cab.
Q. Can this cover be painted?
A. No, there is a hair cell textured finish that will not accept paint well.
All of the Bakflip Tonneau Covers install the exact same way - the G2, HD, and the F1. Now depending on what truck you drive, installations will vary. Generally speaking, a Bakflip installation will take around 30-40 minutes. PJ the Install Specialist shows us how to install the Bakflip tonneau covers.

That proves it. People do use Unity.
I heard so many of my friends bashing it to hell.
I find it to be pretty good, currently my favorite interface to use on a laptop. You can find plenty of people bashing every DE/shell out there, just use whichever one you like best. Plenty of people use it and like it, but the loud minority would have you think its the worst desktop ever and that no one uses it I hear the same complaints about gnome-shell, but plenty of screenshots of people running that too!
I didn't use it on my old laptop purely due to performance issues, but now that it runs smooth as butter I love using it.

The sacrament is also called Unction of the Sick, which has exactly the same meaning.
Extreme Unction was the normal name for the sacrament in the West from the late twelfth century until 1972, and was thus used at the Council of Trent and in the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia. Peter Lombard (d. 1160) is the first writer known to have used the term, which did not become the technical name in the West till towards the end of the twelfth century, and never became current in the East. The word "extreme" (final) indicated either that it was the last of the sacramental unctions or because at that time it was normally administered only when a patient was in extremis
Other names used in the West include the unction or blessing of consecrated oil, the unction of God, and the office of the unction.
In the Greek Church the sacrament is called Euchelaion (Greek Εὐχέλαιον, from εὐχή, "prayer", and ἔλαιον, "oil"). Other names are also used, such as ἅγιον ἔλαιον (holy oil), ἡγιασμένον ἔλαιον (consecrated oil), and χρῖσις or χρῖσμα (anointing).
The Community of Christ uses the term administration to the sick.
The term "last rites" refers to administration to a dying person not only of this sacrament but also of Penance and Holy Communion, the last of which, when administered in such circumstances, is known as "Viaticum", a word whose original meaning in Latin was "provision for the journey". The normal order of administration is: first Penance (if the dying person is physically unable to confess, absolution, conditional on the existence of contrition, is given), then Anointing, then Viaticum (if the person can receive it).
In the Churches mentioned here by name, the oil used (called "oil of the sick" in both West and East) is blessed specifically for this purpose.
Anointing of the Sick is one of the seven Sacraments, and is associated not only with bodily healing but with forgiveness of sins. Only priests can administer it, and "any priest may carry the holy oil with him, so that in a case of necessity he can administer the sacrament of anointing of the sick.
The Catholic Church sees the effects of the sacrament as follows. As the sacrament of Marriage gives grace for the married state, the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick gives grace for the state into which people enter through sickness. Through the sacrament is given a gift of the Holy Spirit that renews confidence and faith in God and strengthens against temptations to discouragement, despair and anguish at the thought of death and the struggle of death; it prevents from losing Christian hope in God's justice, truth and salvation.
The duly blessed oil used in the sacrament is, as laid down in the Apostolic Constitution Sacram unctionem infirmorum, pressed from olives or from other plants. It is blessed by the bishop of the diocese at the Chrism Mass he celebrates on Holy Thursday or on a day close to it. If oil blessed by the bishop is not available, the priest administering the sacrament may bless the oil, but only within the framework of the celebration.
The Roman Rite Anointing of the Sick, as revised in 1972, puts greater stress than in the immediately preceding centuries on the sacrament's aspect of healing, and points to the place sickness holds in the normal life of Christians and its part in the redemptive work of the Church. Canon law permits its administration to any Catholic who has reached the age of reason and is beginning to be put in danger by illness or old age, unless the person in question obstinately persists in a manifestly grave sin. "If there is any doubt as to whether the sick person has reached the use of reason, or is dangerously ill, or is dead, this sacrament is to be administered". There is an obligation to administer it to the sick who, when they were in possession of their faculties, at least implicitly asked for it. A new illness or a renewal or worsening of the first illness enables a person to receive the sacrament a further time.
The sacrament can be administered within Mass, which is the preferred manner. If the celebration takes place outside of Mass, it can be held in the home, in a hospital or institution, or in church. The rite begins with a greeting by the priest, followed by sprinkling of all present with holy water, if deemed desirable, and a short instruction. There follows a penitential act, as at the beginning of Mass. If the sick person wishes to receive the sacrament of penance, it is preferable that the priest make himself available for this during a previous visit; but if the sick person must confess during the celebration of the sacrament of anointing, this confession replaces the penitential rite A passage of Scripture is read, and the priest may give a brief explanation of the reading, a short litany is said, and the priest lays his hands on the head of the sick person and then says a prayer of thanksgiving over the already blessed oil or, if necessary, blesses the oil himself.
The actual anointing of the sick person is done on the forehead, with the prayer "Through this holy anointing may the Lord in his love and mercy help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit", and on the hands, with the prayer "May the Lord who frees you from sin save you and raise you up". To each prayer the sick person, if able, responds: "Amen.
It is permitted, in accordance with local culture and traditions and the condition of the sick person, to anoint other parts of the body in addition, such as the area of pain or injury, but without repeating the sacramental form.
In case of emergency, a single anointing, not necessarily on the forehead, is sufficient.
From the early Middle Ages until after the Second Vatican Council the sacrament was administered, within the Latin Church, only when death was approaching and, in practice, bodily recovery was not ordinarily looked for, giving rise, as mentioned above to the name Extreme Unction (i.e. final anointing). The form used in the Roman Rite included anointing of seven parts of the body while saying (in Latin): "Through this holy unction and His own most tender mercy may the Lord pardon thee whatever sins or faults thou hast committed [quidquid deliquisti] by sight [by hearing, smell, taste, touch, walking, carnal delectation]", the last phrase corresponding to the part of the body that was touched; however, in the words of the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia, "the unction of the loins is generally, if not universally, omitted in English-speaking countries, and it is of course everywhere forbidden in case of women". Use of this form is still permitted under the conditions mentioned in article 9 of the 2007 motu proprio Summorum Pontificum.
Liturgical rites of the Catholic Church, both Western and Eastern, other than the Roman, have a variety of other forms for celebrating the sacrament.
The solemn form of Eastern Christian anointing requires the ministry of seven priests. A table is prepared, upon which is set a vessel containing wheat. Into the wheat has been placed an empty shrine-lamp, seven candles, and seven anointing brushes. Candles are distributed for all to hold during the service. The rite begins with reading Psalm 50 (the great penitential psalm), followed by the chanting of a special Canon. After this, the senior priest (or bishop) pours pure olive oil and a small amount of wine into the shrine lamp, and says the "Prayer of the Oil", which calls upon God to "...sanctify this Oil, that it may be effectual for those who shall be anointed therewith, unto healing, and unto relief from every passion, every malady of the flesh and of the spirit, and every ill..." Then follow seven series of Epistles, Gospels, long prayers, Ektenias (litanies) and anointings. Each series is served by one of the seven priests in turn. The afflicted one is anointed with the sign of the cross on seven places: the forehead, the nostirls, the cheeks, the lips, the breast, the palms of both hands, and the back of the hands. After the last anointing, the Gospel Book is opened and placed with the writing down upon the head of the one who was anointed, and the senior priest reads the "Prayer of the Gospel". At the end, the anointed kisses the Gospel, the Cross and the right hands of the priests, receiving their blessing.
Anointing is considered to be a public rather than a private sacrament, and so as many of the faithful who are able are encouraged to attend. It should be celebrated in the church when possible, but if this is impossible, it may be served in the home or hospital room of the afflicted.
Unction in the Greek Orthodox Church and Churches of Hellenic custom (Melkite, Antiochian Orthodox, etc.) is usually given with a minimum of ceremony.
Anointing may also be given during Forgiveness Vespers and Great Week, on Great and Holy Wednesday, to all who are prepared. Those who receive Unction on Holy Wednesday should go to Holy Communion on Maundy Thursday. The significance of receiving Unction on Holy Wednesday is shored up by the hymns in the Triodion for that day, which speak of the sinful woman who anointed the feet of Christ (). Just as her sins were forgiven because of her penitence, so the faithful are exhorted to repent of their sins. In the same narrative, Jesus says, "in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial" (Id., v. 12), linking the unction with Christ's death and resurrection.
In some dioceses the Russian Orthodox Church it is customary for the bishop to visit each parish or region of the diocese some time during Great Lent and give Anointing for the faithful, together with the local clergy.
Article 25 of the Thirty-Nine Articles, speaking of the sacraments, says: "Those five commonly called Sacraments, that is to say, Confirmation, Penance, Orders, Matrimony, and extreme Unction, are not to be counted for Sacraments of the Gospel, being such as have grown partly of the corrupt following of the Apostles, partly are states of life allowed in the Scriptures; but yet have not like nature of Sacraments with Baptism, and the Lord's Supper, for that they have not any visible sign or ceremony ordained of God.
Some Anglicans accept that anointing of the sick has a sacramental character and is therefore a channel of God's grace, seeing it as an "outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace" which is the definition of a sacrament.
Liturgical or Mainline Protestant communities (e.g. Presbyterian, Congregationalist/United Church of Christ, Methodist, Lutheran, etc.) all have official yet often optional liturgical rites for the anointing of the sick partly on the model of Western pre-Reformation rites. Anointing need not be associated with grave illness or imminent danger of death.
Protestant communities generally vary widely on the sacramental character of anointing. Non-traditional Protestant communities generally use the term "ordinance" rather than "Sacrament". Mainline Protestants have two sacraments (the Lord's Supper and Baptism), deeming Anointing only a humanly-instituted rite. In Charismatic and Pentecostal communities, anointing of the sick is a frequent practice and has been an important ritual in these communities since the respective movements were founded in the 19th and 20th centuries. These communities use extemporaneous forms of administration at the discretion of the minister, who need not be a pastor. There is minimal ceremony attached to its administration. Usually, several people physically touch (laying on of hands) the recipient during the anointing. It may be part of a worship service with the full assembly of the congregation present, but may also be done in more private settings, such as homes or hospital rooms. Pentecostals (neo-Montanists) believe that physical healing is within the anointing and so there is often great expectation or at least great hope that a miraculous cure or improvement will occur when someone is being prayed over for healing.
In Evangelical and Fundamentalist communities, anointing of the sick is performed with varying degrees of frequency, although laying on of hands may be more common than anointing. The rite would be similar to that of Pentecostals in its simplicity, but would usually not have the same emotionalism attached to it. Unlike Pentecostals, Evangelicals and Fundamentalists generally do not believe that physical healing is within the anointing. Therefore, God may or may not grant physical healing to the sick. The healing conferred by anointing is thus a spiritual event that may not result in physical recovery.
Some Protestant US military chaplains carry the Roman Rite version of the Anointing of the Sick with them for use if called upon to assist wounded or dying soldiers who are Catholics. The Catholic and Orthodox Churches consider invalid as a sacrament the administration of Anointing of the Sick by such chaplains, who in the eyes of those Churches are not validly ordained priests. The rite performed by them is thus seen as having the same by no means negligible value of any other form of prayer offered for the sick or dying.
Administration to the sick is one of the eight sacraments of the Community of Christ. In the Community of Christ the sacrament of administration to the sick has also been known to be used for people seeking spiritual, emotional or mental healing.

It has been been proven that kids do better in school when they are actively involved in music. Music also helps with reading, concentration, math and science skills, because it adds to children's cognitive and reasoning development. Also children are more likely to set goals, get along with peers, and go to college. If something like being involved with music is all it takes, why not get them started early on?
We really have to commend shows that help kids learn by using music in a fun and exciting way. Yo Gabba Gabba uses fun songs to teach kids everything from how to eat healthy to how to wash your hands. Your kids will surely remember how do these tasks more if they find themselves singing the songs (which I often do).
You don't have to be a virtuoso to start your interest in music-it can begin at a very young age! We here at Ty's Toy Box have one item that will stir the musical interest in your little one- Plex's keytar! The keytar is a combination of a keyboard and guitar. You can play the notes on the keyboard, strum the guitar, or a little of both. It's an adorable gift especially for 2-year-olds and up. Alternatively, if you're looking to bust a few moves, consider Yo Gabba Gabba's Boom Box Theater! Both of these can be found in Yo Gabba Gabba toys.
Yo Gabba Gabba continues to collaborate with a lot of high profile people and musicians on their show, known as the Super Music Friends Show. First Jimmy Fallon and now Band of Horses. Yo Gabba Gabba is so much fun to watch! I honestly can't get enough. Check out the clip below:

Mountains with Mist
With these images of mountains, wetlands, valleys, and fields, Bonheur demonstrates his keen interest in diverse topographies and atmospheric effects. The artist traveled widely throughout France in the 1850s with his sister Rosa, a prominent painter of animal subjects. Bonheur noted the sites in the Pyrenees Mountains and Auvergne on labels that he glued to the bottom corners of his sketches and used these identifications later, to prompt his memory while working on more formal exhibition pictures. Tiny holes in the corners of the sketches suggest that Bonheur pinned his sheets of paper to a board in order to paint.

NICEVILLE — The Northwest Florida Symphony Orchestra's 2013-14 season just about has it all: traditional classics, young and talented guest soloists from around the world, popular holiday pops music, a touch of bluegrass, and even a direct-from-Las Vegas special event — The Rat Pack is Back.
Music director and conductor Jeffrey Rink will lead the prestigious professional orchestra for his seventh season and the NFSO's 27th year of musical fare since the orchestra was established in 1987 under the auspices of the Northwest Florida State College.
Highlights of the season include virtuoso guest performances by pianist Asiya Korepanova of Russia and Alexander Krichel of Germany as well as a new mandolin concerto by Jeff Midkiff.
The season opens Sept. 28 with unlikely dance partners, as the orchestra plays dance-inspired music of the Waltz King, Johann Strauss Jr., Overture to Die Fledermaus, followed by a suite of Hungarian dances arranged by Zoltan Kodaly. The "Austro-Hungarian Journey" concert concludes with acclaimed Wideman International Competition Gold Medal winner Asiya Korepanova performing Johannes Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 2.
On Nov. 16, the "American Impressions" concert, features sounds of both American and European composers. Guest artist Jeff Midkiff of Virginia will perform the regional premiere of his acclaimed, folk-inspired Concerto for Mandolin "From the Blue Ridge" – a fascinating reflection of bluegrass-based themes that combine with sophisticated orchestral sounds, a touch of swing and jazz and some foot-stomping, toe-tapping rhythms that are great fun to hear.
A mandolinist and fiddler raised on bluegrass and a professional clarinetist, Midkiff has been a member of top bluegrass groups such as the New Grass Revue and the Lonesome River Band, and has also appeared with professional symphonies across the nation. Another delight at the November concert will be the NFSO performing Charles Ives' "Central Park in the Dark," a kaleidoscope of sounds heard while on an evening stroll in 1906 New York City, and Antonin Dvořák's famous "New World Symphony."
The popular annual "Holiday Pops" concert, an NFSO tradition, promises to be an inspired and entertaining evening on Dec. 13. The annual "Stars of Tomorrow" performance on Feb. 7, 2014, will highlight some of the most talented young musicians in our region — winners of the annual Northwest Florida Symphony Guild Concerto competition — and will also include the rare opportunity to hear George Frideric Handel's most popular instrumental work, "Water Music," performed live.
On March 8, the NFSO hosts a special fundraiser and highlight of the season — The Rat Pack is Back! This smash-hit show, now in its 14th year in Las Vegas, has crisscrossed the country, recreating the music that shaped an era.
Relive the great songs and terrific voices of the original Rat Pack – Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Joey Bishop – as this tribute show is performed by some of the world's most talented impressionist entertainers joined by the NFSO in "big band" mode.
Simply put, The Rat Pack is Back! is sure to be a "Cream of the Crop, A-Number One, King of the Hill" experience.
Tickets are $37 each, and may be added to the regular five-concert season package or purchased separately.
The NFSO will close the 2013-14 season on April 12 with a "German Spring Celebration," beginning with a performance of Robert Schumann's "Spring" symphony, as well as "Overture to the Beautiful Melusine," Mendelssohn's musical depiction of the story of the Little Mermaid.
The stage will be filled to capacity as the NFSO concludes the evening with Beethoven's majestic "Choral Fantasy," featuring virtuoso German pianist Alexander Krichel, the Northwest Florida Symphony Chorale and six guest vocal soloists.
Both season subscriptions and individual tickets for all concerts of the NFSO's 2013-14 season are on sale now from the Mattie Kelly Arts Center box office. The season package is $115, a price that includes the five regular season concerts at a discounted rate plus box office processing fees.
Individual NFSO concert tickets are also on sale for $22.50 each for adults and $16 each for youth age 18 and younger or active duty military.
Tickets for The Rat Pack is Back are $37 each. See the NFSO website at www.nfsymphony.org or call the box office at 850-729-6000.
The NFSO is operated by Northwest Florida State College as a non-profit organization and relies on tax-deductible donations and corporate underwriting to continue the musical excellence and the symphony's numerous educational endeavors for youth. The NFSO performs in residence at the college's Mattie Kelly Fine and Performing Arts Center in Niceville, where a custom orchestral shell provides an optimum acoustical experience for symphony patrons.
Memberships in the NFSO's Conductor's Circle are available for a tax-deductible gift of at least $250 to the NFSO over the cost of a season subscription. Conductor's Circle members receive reserved parking, complimentary intermission beverage and other benefits. For information on making a donation to the NFSO or corporate underwriting contact the NWFSC Foundation at 729-5357.

Taking private browsing to the next level.
This guide is meant to help you keep people from snooping on your browser activities, locally on your computer. This is not meant to keep you anonymous on the internet. Icall it taking private browsing to the next level because I'm comparing it to the private browsing feature most of the browsers have. In that regard this give you so much more privacy with none of the sacrifices.
This year, web browsers started giving you the option to privately browse the internet without leaving a trace of your session on the computer.
What if you could have a browser session that is both private, doesn't leave a trace on the machine you are using, yet still lets you enjoy internet caching, favorites and everything a web browser can offer?
The first option that came to my mind was "Portable Firefox". A version of Firefox that doesn't need to be installed and can be run off of a any sort of removable device. This works pretty well, but anybody who has potential access to your removable device also has access to your "Portable Firefox" and everything you've been doing with it.
So I thought there had to be a way to make the device accessible to you and not someone else, even if they had access to it. So I thought, lets combine Portable Firefox with TrueCrypt. Even if someone had access to the device, they wouldn't be able to access the contents without first decrypting it using your password.
This guide will walk you through setting up a Truecrypt container on a removable device and then installing Portable Firefox onto it.
If you would rather watch a video on now to do it, rather than read, I made a video for you below.
Best if watched in 720p
First download and install TrueCrypt from the following website.
Part 1 Setting up your removable device as a Traveler Disc.
1) Plug in the removable device you wish to use with TrueCrypt.
2) Launch TrueCrypt
3) Click on the Tools.
4) Select "Traveler Disc Setup"
In this next section we will be choosing the device we want to use. We won't be encrypting the entire device, just a file that TrueCrypt will use as the container .
5) Under "File Settings" Click the browse button
6) Select the removable device you wish to use (Double check that you have the correct one selected) then click ok
7) Uncheck "Include TrueCrypt Volume Creation Wizard is checked" We'll do that next.
The autorun section gives you the option to have TrueCrypt automatically run when you insert the device into a computer.
8) Click the "Create "
9) Once complete click the close.
Part 2 Creating a TrueCrypt Volume
1) Click the Tools menu
2) Click "Volume Creation Wizard"
3) Select "Create an encrypted File Container"
4) Click Next
5) Select "Standard TrueCrypt Volume"
6) In the volume location box, type in the drive letter of your device along with the name you wish to use for the new TrueCrypt container (Example i:\firefox). Double check that you have it typed in correctly.
TrueCrypt also gives you the option of saving or never saving your history. When you open TrueCrypt off your removable device, do you always want the path to the last container you decrypted to default in?" I actually prefer it that way. Someone still has to know the password to unlock it. It's a pain in the butt to have to browse for the container each and every time. So I just have it remember it for me, but it's up to you.
7) Click Next
8) Select your type of encryption.
9) Click Next
8) Now it's time choose how much of the device you wish use. If you are using the device just for Portable Firefox than go head and use all of it. If it's going to be a device that also has other things on it then just use some of it.
9) Click Next.
8) Type in the password you with to use.
9) Click Next
10) Choose the type of file system you wish to use. Personally I'd recommend using "NTFS" This will not format your entire device. It will just format the file you will be storing all your stuff in. Once mounted that file will appear as a separate drive letter.
11) Once ready click format.
12) Once complete close out to the main TrueCrypt screen.
Part 3: Mounting your TrueCrypt container.
To mount the container you can either use the version of TrueCrypt installed on your machine or the standalone version located in the "TrueCrypt" directory on your removable device.
1) Open TrueCrypt (which should still technically be open unless you closed it already)
2) Click the "Select File" button.
3) Browse to your device and double click the volume you just created (if you used the example I gave earlier, then it will be called Firefox). If done correctly in the volume box you should now see your drive letter along with the name of your container (example L:\firefox)
4) Click the "Mount" button.
5) Type in your password and click ok
6) Your encrypted container should now mount as its own drive letter (mine always mounts as J). You will see which letter it mounted as on the main TrueCrypt screen.
Well the hard part is done. We can now download portable Firefox and extract it to your device.
Part 4: Portable Firefox
1) Download portable Firefox from http://portableapps....irefox_portable
2) Once its down downloaded open it. It will ask you where you want to extract it to.
If your Truecrypt volume is already mounted you can extract it there. Personally I would recommend extracting it to a folder on your desktop and then pasting it onto your device. Doing so will put FirefoxPortable.exe on the root of your Truecrypt volume instead of inside a sub folder.
Holy crap we're done!!
Everything is all ready to go. When you mount your TrueCrypt volume and launch Firefoxportable.exe from the device it operates just like Firefox would if it was installed. Add-ons, cache, favorites, everything. Everywhere you browse and every site you look at is stored on this device and not the computer you are using. This portable browsing session can also be plugged into ANY computer. Meaning you can take this with you everywhere.
At this point open up FirefoxPortable.exe and download all of your favorite add-ons, import your bookmarks and set it up just how you like it. Once you are done and Firefox is closed you can unplug the device from your computer (Technically you should un mount it first, but I always just pull it out). Next time its plugged in your password has to be reentered in order to use it.

New For 2013Bluetooth is now standard on all Cooper models; satellite radio is a $250 option and comes with a one-year free subscription. The technology package, $1750, was revised and now includes satellite radio, passive keyless entry, and Mini Connected. The premium package, also revised, costs $1250 and nets a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, automatic wipers, and automatic climate control.
OverviewBMW hit a home run when it introduced the reincarnated Mini. America's appetite for small, fuel-efficient cars has something to do with the Mini Cooper's success, but the fact that it's a hoot to drive definitely doesn't hurt. The Mini once distinguished itself in the automotive market because of its petite size, but with an increasing number of quality subcompacts on the market, the Mini now trades more on its driving dynamics and reputation as a premium small car than on its small size and fuel economy. The retro-chic Cooper continues with a center-mounted speedometer and toggle switch controls to recall the original Mini from decades past. Although it might not be the most ergonomically efficient interior, it's one of the most aesthetically pleasing. The Mini is available in three body styles: a three-door hardtop, a softtop convertible, and the long-wheelbase Clubman with a set of split rear cargo doors and a half-size third door on the passenger side for easier rear-seat access. Engines come in normally aspirated and turbocharged forms, with the 208-hp John Cooper Works and limited-run GP versions epitomizing the Mini's go-kart driving feel. As for customization options, Mini claims there are more than ten million possible combinations, so if you've always wanted to own a one-of-a-kind car, here's your chance.
SafetyABS; corner brake control; tire pressure monitoring; and front and side air bags are standard. Side curtain air bags are standard on the Cooper and Cooper Clubman; thorax air bags are standard on the Cooper Convertible. Adaptive xenon headlights, run-flat tires, and park distance control are optional.

- High fun-to-drive factor
- Retro-chic styling
You won't like:
- Can get expensive
- Awkward ergonomics

Christmas Carnage: Owen Eating a Christmas Goose
13 comments:
I was just thinking the same about goals and resolutions...how can you not? I like the idea of being a vegan but I crave that blasted animal stuff!ReplyDelete
Mine is to take an instagram picture everyday for a year. I'll probably end up with a lot of pictures of my cubicle :)ReplyDelete
If I can offer any advice, it's to start slowwly! You can't just wake up vegan one day and be that way forever. Start with a couple meatless days a week and then gradually build up to being a vegatarian and if you still want to become a vegan, try going vegan a couple days a week and go from there.ReplyDeleteReplies
thank you so much!!! thought of this advice all day :)Delete
I agree. That's somewhat how I started, though I'm not vegan, just vegetarian. I grew up in a semi-vegetarian household/religious school, so I was used to not eating meat on a daily basis. I didn't crave it either, so one day (a new year's resolution actually, ha!) I decided I was just going to do it. That was almost ten years ago. I've thought about going completely vegan, but I haven't mustered up courage yet.Delete
As for resolutions, I was thinking about them earlier, while vacuuming the couch. Hadn't really "planned" any resolutions, but it hit me then, I have to become a better housekeeper. I may or may have not been vacuuming a few week's worth of crumbs and random crap (candy wraps?!) from the creases. So that's my resolution for this year--better keep up with this place.
Great advise, VintageDanielle! This is true for most other goals, it's less painful if gradual. My goal is to write more in my journal. I haven't started yet, maybe tonight! Christine always cracks me up with her resolution to quit smoking. Since she's never smoked, she considers this a success that she can stick to! hahaaaReplyDelete
This post cracked me up! My Husband and I have been doing the vegan thing since March 2012. It is so hard to get started but once you do, it really does get easier. Best of luck to you Sharon! As for me my New Year's resolution is to "live in the moment" and stop always looking ahead! I have some yummy vegan recipes on my blog if you want to check them out.ReplyDelete
great recipes! i'll have to try ur chocolate chip cookies asap :)Delete
When we were first married Bryan said, "I hate goals. If people wanted to do something they would just do it, they don't need to make a goal about it." I tease him about it sometimes. He now says that he was super annoying and wonders how I could stand him. I thought he quirky. I love goals!ReplyDelete
I totally agree! I look forward to making New Year's resolutions all December. I think there's immense value in taking the time to write things down and go public. Besides, now I can look over several years of resolutions and not only laugh at my failures, but notice that I've actually made real progress! Me!ReplyDelete
