Full agreement, mspanners!
I disagree. The only issue I have with David Jason playing Rincewind was that he was too damn old to play the role. Other than that, he had Rincewind's character down, or at least one interpretation. Hell, I was half-hearing Jason and half-hearing Eric Idle while reading Interesting Times.

Barrow AFC sign Fleetwood striker
Last updated at 10:23, Saturday, 19 January 2013
FORWARD Danny Rowe has added much-needed weaponry to Barrow AFC's attacking arsenal after signing on loan from Fleetwood until the end of the season.
The 23-year-old former Manchester United trainee goes straight into the squad to partner Adam Boyes for the trip to Newport County tomorrow, with manager Dave Bayliss hopeful he can score some key goals for the club (3pm kick-off).
"He has been one that we have been after for a while," said Bayliss, who missed out on Rowe to Stockport – where he has scored twice in 14 appearances on loan this term – at the start of the season.
"If he can reproduce the form we know he is capable of, then it will give us an extra boost for scoring goals, which is something we have lacked this season.
"He's a bit more of a back-to-goal type of player. He will hold the ball up a little bit better and there is quite a difference (to Boyes).
"He's a big lad, about 6ft 1in, 6ft 2in, so it gives us another dimension.
"You feel sorry for Boyesy at times, up front on his own, because you know he has to run channels, hold the ball up, so you feel a bit sorry for him.
"With Danny here, we can take the weight off him a little bit and he can hopefully chip in with some vital goals towards the end of the season like he did at Stockport last year."
Bayliss compared Rowe – who shares a name with the winger who has played for the Bluebirds already this season and who will wear DL Rowe on his number 10 shirt – to former forward Andy Cook.
Cook struck up a productive partnership with Boyes last season before joining Grimsby and the Bluebirds boss is hopeful the same can happen with Rowe.
"People like Andy Cook are very hard to find – target men who score goals. That's why we only had Cooky for as long as we did, because we knew when we got playing, he would get a move for himself.
"Danny Rowe is the same and we are grateful to Fleetwood that we could take him for the remainder of the season and hopefully he can help us out with some important goals.
"But it's not all about him. It's a team effort and hopefully we can provide him with the chances and he will chip in with those goals."
Bayliss is keeping his fingers crossed the club will add at least one defender before tomorrow's game as well, after the collapse of the planned deal for Stockport County defender Danny O'Donnell.
The 26-year-old had agreed a deal at Holker Street two weeks ago, but the now-lifted transfer embargo stood in the way.
The registration restrictions were lifted last week, but O'Donnell has now decided to stay with Stockport and fight for his place after the dismissal of boss Jim Gannon.
Bayliss has thus turned his attention to different targets and said: "It wasn't to be with Danny. He's had time to think, circumstances have changed and whereas two weeks ago he would have been our player, now he is not.
"We've got to move on to different targets now. We need a man in there, we need a big centre-half, maybe two. That's what we're looking for and if the price is right we will maybe get two or three more players in, but we have got to wheel and deal and rely on favours from people now.
"We're hoping there will be more signings before the game as well, because you can't go to maybe one of the best sides in the league with a back four as shaky as we have got.
"They don't look like they are going to fill each other with confidence.
"We need help and hopefully the new players will come in and stabilise things a little bit.
"The players we've already got are not bad players – they've showed that in certain games – but I just think it is time for a change and we've got to do what's right to get us out of the situation we are in."
Barrow will have midfielder Richie Baker available again tomorrow after injury, with no other members of the 15-strong squad missing.
Barrow AFC (from): Hurst, S Pearson, Flynn, Skelton, Hessey, M Pearson, Owen, Hunter, Harvey, Baker, Rutherfiord, D Rowe, McConville, Boyes, DL Rowe.

This lad has everything in his locker, Skill, Pace & Goals. Played against his local team in the West Lancs and he was outstanding every time. The deal will be good for Barrow.The Yanga Man!

WordPress Continues to Take Over the Top 100 Blogs
Back in 2006 blogging was still in its infancy and I remember searching for a platform to launch my first blog. TypePad and Blogger were both big at that time, WordPress.com was around and growing, and Moveable Type, Joomla, Drupal, and WordPress.org were also good options. In fact there were so many good options that it was difficult to decide what foundation I would use for what I hoped to be my new job.
For my first few months of blogging I actually went with TypePad, but quickly found that it was very limited and wasn't a good fit for my needs. I went back to the drawing board at that point and knew I needed something that was flexible and was also going to be around for the long haul. At that time open source was really starting to take off in the mainstream and WordPress.org was leading that charge in the blogging niche, so I decided to align myself with the WordPress community and re-launched my first blog. Between the WordPress plugins and both the free and premium WordPress themes available, I knew I had made the right choice and was able to quickly make a custom design with little work on my end. The flexibility and the excellent open source community was the key to creating a great experience for me, and many I talked to felt the same way.
Fast forward 7 years and WordPress continues to meet my needs and validate my early decision. One report I use to determine this is released annually by Royal Pingdom, which has done a study of the Top 100 blogs each year since 2009 and recently published their 2013 report. This report shows WordPress continues to grow as the top choice among the most prominent blogs. Initially back in 2009, WordPress was on 32% of the Top 100 blogs. Last year it was up to 48%. For 2013, WordPress is now on 52% of the Top 100 blogs, and I expect that percentage to continue to grow over the coming years thanks to its flexibility and the fact that it is very user friendly.
According to Wikipedia, WordPress is used by over 14.7% of the top 1 million websites and manages over 22% of all new websites created as of August 2011, boasting a total of over 60 million websites. Its hard to imagine what these numbers will look like next year or several years from now.
Google+ Comments for WordPress Plugin
For many years now Facebook has had a very popular login feature and also offered the ability to easily integrate blog comments using your Facebook account. These options have proven to be very popular with all types of webmasters as they provide several convenient features and also help to discourage spammy or anonymous comments.
It always surprised me that Google wasn't in this game, but the introduction of Google+ seems to offer Google the ability to offer these features to webmasters and be the ones collecting this information. According to reports, apps that support Google's login are now getting favorable search treatment and Google is starting to really push this feature. Then last month, Google announced that Google+ comment integration is now available for Blogger users. So, what about WordPress users?
Not long after the Blogger integration was announced, the necessary code was discovered to do this manually using the following code:
 <g:comments href="[URL]" width="642" first_party_property="BLOGGER" view_type="FILTERED_POSTMOD"> </g:comments>
Valid HTML5 version:

Comments counter HTML (replaces < g:comments >):
<g:commentcount href="[URL]"></g:commentcount>
Valid HTML5 version (replaces
):

Replace '[URL]' with the URL of your web page and fit the 'width'.
Link your web page to your Google+ profile to verify authorship.
Dynamic Google+ Comments HTML:

Google+ Comments Counter:

Google+ Comments for WordPress Plugin
Fortunately, the WordPress community has already come through with an easier solution, the Google+ Comments for WordPress plugin. This plugin makes the comment section tabbed by seamlessly adding tabs for Google+ Comments, Facebook, Disqus, WordPress Comments, and Trackbacks. Early reviews are promising and I manage this plugin will continue to evolve over time.
If you decide to give this plugin on your website leave us a comment and let us know how the setup went.
PSA: Massive Botnet Attacks on WordPress Installations
Over the past 24 hours it has come to our attention that a large network of over 90,000 IP addresses have ramped up their use of a brute force attack to target WordPress blog installations. According to several published reports, the botnet is attempting to gain access to WordPress installations by using the default Admin user name and trying multiple passwords. By default, WordPress allows unlimited login attempts either through the login page or by sending special cookies. This allows passwords (or hashes) to be brute-force cracked with relative ease.
Popular hosting providers CloudFlare and HostGator are reporting that the scale of the current attack is much larger than what they typically experience, with some reports claiming that they are blocking 60 million requests per hour during peak times. After reviewing our logs we've already noticed several failed login attempts using the username Admin.
What can I do to protect my WordPress installation(s)?
- If your username is currently set as Admin, change it to something custom. The easiest way is probably by using something like the Better WP Security WordPress plugin.
- Change/strengthen your password. Your password should include capital letters and symbols (%+!#)
- Install a plugin to limit login requests. We use the appropriately titled Limit Login Attempts WordPress plugin, but there are several other plugins with similar functionality.
Once that is done, sit back and hope for the best!
Update: HostGator has provided additional tips.
5 Common Mistakes When Backing Up WordPress
As a leading Content Management System for managing websites and especially for writing blogs, WordPress makes it extremely easy to back up your valuable content from the database and site files. There are a number of tools you can use that make life easy on website owners and bloggers, but don't let the simplicity of backing up WordPress leave you with an inadequate back up plan. In fact, there are plenty of back up tools out there that don't get the job done well enough. Here are five back up mistakes to avoid:
Only Backing up Your Posts
Your website has a lot more going on than just the posts on your blog. While losing your posts would be catastrophic, don't forget that a true back up will include your pages, theme modifications, and WordPress plugins. These elements of your website make it functional, and losing them will be a major setback for your time.
A tool like Backup Buddy is designed to store all of your site's information and to restore it all at once should any kind of loss occur. This means you won't lose page views, advertising revenue, or potential customers when your site goes down. It will be up and running in no time.
Not Backing Up Frequently
If you only backup your website on a weekly basis, but you average about one post per day, you could cause yourself some major headaches if your blog goes down and you lose several blog posts. That means any inbound links, comments, or social media shares to those posts will land on your 404 page. While this may be a temporary setback, you will plant a seed of doubt in the minds of potential visitors about the quality and reliability of your website.
Relying on Manual Backups
There are plenty of online storage options from Amazon's Cloud Drive to Dropbox, but managing the website backup process on your own is difficult to maintain for the long haul and can take up valuable time. Even if you've figured out a quick way to back up your website, it's one more thing on your to do list that could be easily automated.
Backing Up Your Blog on Your Computer
If a hacker can access your website, there's a good chance he may have already gotten into your computer and other files as well (For more about further protection from hackers, look at the services Passbook hast to offer). In addition, there's no telling if the files on your computer have been corrupted with a virus when it's time to restore your site. You could very well be uploading files with the same problems that took your site down in the first place. While you can use a service like Filezilla to back up your site on your own computer, it's far safer to rely on an online backup site.
Never Testing Your Backups
A backup of your website is a safety net that will catch you when the worst case scenario happens on your website. However, what good is a safety net if it has a hole in it? By testing your backed up files, you'll learn whether your website backup plan is adequate to meet your needs in a website emergency situation. Make sure you have the files you need in a format that you can easily access and restore to your site.
Your website has information that is far too valuable to leave your back up files in a state of uncertainty. If you don't know about the security, scope, and viability of your website backups, it's time to look into a reliable, automated WordPress back up option or to carefully test which back up plugin is right for you.
How Using Too Many WordPress Plugins Can Kill Your Website
There are many thousands of WordPress plugins you can use for free, and there are also more you can buy for different purposes. According to WP Beginner, as of September 2012 there were more than 21,000 free plugins in the WordPress plugins repository! The question is; do you have to use all of them? You have probably seen a sidebar of a blog with a mile long list of awards and a multitude of links to other pages. Some people go as far as including hundreds of flashy widgets. If you are thinking of using several plugins, you should first learn why using too many of them will impact negatively on your readership.
They May Slow Down Your Website
This is, perhaps, the most annoying feature of using too many WordPress plugins. This slow down occurs because every plugin you use sends a server request when each of your readers loads the site. Imagine the effect of having fifty plugins when ten users are on your site. What about a hundred plugins with a thousand users? Do you really want your site to be that slow?
Some WordPress Plugins are not Secure
Just because a plugin works well does not mean that it is secure. Some plugins, especially the free ones, can be exploited by hackers who can then hack into your site. For example, users of some plugins such as WP Total Cache and WPTouch have been asked in the past to update their passwords after it was realized they were not secure. Since it is not always easy to know upfront which plugin is safe and which one is not, you will be doing a great deal of service to your site by installing only the minimum number necessary.

Hennalucent Hair Toner and Conditioner
Out of Stock
100% organic. A professional henna product that penetrates the hair shaft through natural, organic absorption to deliver long-term shine, body and beauty color highlights.

Do Not Like The New Formula
For the last 12 month's I have been looking to find the original Hennalucent formula. I have used this product on my fine hair since 1983, with fabulous results. . The site I purchased this product from (Amazon) displayed the original box, but sent me the new formula. I decided to try the new formula again, and was very disappointed and frustrated when I opened the package
The sparkling burgundy didn't look anything like a burgundy at all (more like a brown ashy dull ugly color, with no life or fashion. I threw it away. It was a waste of time and money. I purchased 5 boxes, 3 sparkling burgundy and 2 neutral. Hopefully, the neutral will give satisfactory results. Poor color quality, maybe the wrong colors are inserted into the wrong boxes. Two thumbs down ï??ï??

Actually You Are Wrong It Can Turn Your Hair Green
Used the henna for grey hair on my GF Linda twice and both times we had crayola green results. Odd part is it was in various areas of the hair. First time it was the entire crown. Second it was about an inch up from regrowth! Over time the green fades away. There is not mistaking that color green. Its not some crazy hairstylist conspiracy to bring down the world of popular henna enthusiast! How funny! Didn't realize you could submit photos I will see if Linda has any and up load them. Cause it was a huge scene! Never seen anything like that before.

Works For Some But Not For All
I used earth brown hennalucent mixed with 1/4 regular red henna. It seemed from my strand test that this matched my darkest hair which is a medium red/brown. I was using it to make the hair on the top of my head, which gets bleached to a yellow from the sun, the same color as the rest of my hair. I used the mix and instead of getting the red highlights the earth brown box promises, my hear turned a drab grayish brown. I have did some research and got clarifying crystals from sally's to try to lift the color. some of the reddish hints of my natural hair are not visible.i am going to repeat the clarifying treatment to try to get my hair back to a color that matches my skin tone. Be careful before you use this - even mixed with straight henna it might not make your hair anywhere near the reddish color on the box. it might make your naturally reddish hair a terrible mousy color.

Need "old" Formula Back!
I have used Hennalucent since '84- neutral- that gave me absolutely astounding results that lasted at least two months or more- shiney, healthy great hair. Since changing the formula, this product is no longer effective. Terrible consistency, terrible results. I used to buy this product by the case, but unless I can find an outlet that sells the original formula I won't waste another dime on it. VERY unfortunate for the company AND me....

Hennalucent Hair Coloring
I have used Hennalucent continuously for approximately 15 years with great success. I hope I will be able to continue to purchase this wonderful hair coloring. It is easy to use and gives great natural color. I am not at all happy that I am unable to purchase it anymore.

I Agree With Leslie
The "new and improved" formula is worthless. Hennalucent used to mix up to have the consistency of thick honey and it coated the hair shaft and worked nicely. Now its like soupy mud and it made my hair even dryer . . .couldnt get the comb through it! Pitiful. Too bad they "improved" it.

First Try
I had purchased Hennalucent in Bark Brown, but after reading some of the reviews, I wondered whether I should have gone with the Earth Brown instead. I found a handful of reviews that claimed that the Bark Brown turned their hair jet black, so that was a concern.I have fine hair, that is porous, so I decided to leave it on for just 10 minutes. I noticed a very subtle change, but its almost imperceptible.I only used half of the product, so I am going to try it again in a few weeks. Maybe Ill let the product stabilize longer before applying it, and leave it on my hair longer before rinsing it out.

Best Mixed With Colora Henna
Over 30 years ago my hairstylist told me to use 2 brands of henna together for the best results. I have done this off and on since then, and have always loved the results. My hair is untreated, fine, limp, and stringy even when pretty short. This combo Im going to tell you about makes it much shinier and have more body and look thicker. In the past, with the same stylists approval, I have even used it on permed hair--just wait 2 weeks after perming to apply. Here is what you use. One package of COLORA henna in a shade that is closest to your natural hair color. I use "Brown" because my hair is naturally dark brown with warm hi-lights. Then you add in 1/2 package of HENNALUCENT neutral, and mix well (dry). Add the Hottest water that you can stand (just off of the boil, if possible). Mix really well until the goop is about the consistency of spinach pureed in a blender, but liquid. Kind of like thick junior baby food. You keep adding water a little at a time to get the right consistency. Put on like you would bleach--in slim sections with a bleach brush. Cover both sides of each section with the brush, and make sure it is thin enough to soak in, but not drip. The more hair you have, or the longer it is will determine how much you use. If you have a lot of thick, full or LONG hair it may take 2 pkgs of COLORA henna and one whole pkge of HENNALUCENT neutral henna. By the way, the COLORA henna goes on GREEN and smells pretty awful--kind of like burning spinach, but it is worth the smell! When you have all of your hair covered (if your hair is very long, you have to section it in such a way as to have it all packed on top of your head by this time). Then you wrap a cotton coil (available at the beauty supply) around your entire hairline, cover your head with a disposable plastic cap or just plastic wrap, and sit for one hour. It is easier to rinse out if you put a lot of conditioner on and mix it in first, but is still somewhat hard to rinse out. You have to keep adding conditioner until all of the goop is rinsed out and the stream of water running through your hair is clear. Then wash once with shampoo,(not one that strips)and style as you normally would. On my hair, it seems to take about 24 hours for the shine to fully develop. Also, one time I tried Hennalucent for my color, and my hair turned out much redder, and not as shiny or bouncy. I think the two types together work best. After you buy a box of Colora henna in what you think is the most appropriate color and buy a box of Hennalucent neutral, then both products ttell you inside the expected result of each color.

8 Years And Never A Problem
I have been using this brand of henna on my hair for the past 8 years and it always looks great. I attribute my long hair to using it since I have very very fine hair that now reaches my waist. I never could have grown my hair this long without the conditioning it provides. Ive hennad my friends hair in the past and all except one had amazing results. To those of you who say that it turns hair green or grey or blue. The only reason this happens is because you have other chemicals in your hair that react to henna!!! The friend whose hair didnt turn out denied having dyed her hair previously, and it turned silvery-blue-green. I would never use anything else on my hair.

I was so thrilled recently to see itin a beauty supply store, and bought it for my daughter whohas med. brown hair like me with red highlights. We mixed Earth brn w/ Sunset Glo like I used to and she was so pleased with the results we are doing it again next wk.

By Tessa Raebeck
Schools, government offices and the Long Island Expressway (LIE) were all closed, but one thing brought Sag Harbor residents out of their homes in spite of Friday's blizzard: music.
The theatre was filled to capacity for the inaugural performance of Bay Street Theatre's newest program, "Fireside Sessions with Nancy Atlas," showing that murmurs of cancellation and the threat of icy roads cannot quell die hard music fans – and that those fans do in fact exist on the East End in January.
"It was insane, it was really insane," Atlas said Monday of the concert, which featured Chad Smith, the drummer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Each week, the fireside sessions feature Atlas, her band, the Nancy Atlas Project, and a different special guest, such as Smith, who sits in with the band.
The audience enters to see a giant "fireplace," a projected display of a cackling fire on a screen behind the band. The fire is always there, but the performance changes with each guest.
"The guests," said Atlas, "are all top-shelf world class professional musicians."
Atlas, who lives in Montauk with her husband Thomas and their three children, has met or worked with each guest at some point during her two decades in music and personally invited each musician to join her on stage.
While Atlas and her musician friends are quickly booked up during the busy summer months, they – like most people on the East End – find they have sufficient downtime come "the dead of winter," she says.
"I started calling them up and they were available and it was just kind of meant to be," said Atlas.
Each separate event focuses on the musical desires and talent of that particular special guest, who chooses which songs are performed.
For Smith's performance, the focus was, naturally, on songs that showcase drums and percussion.
This Friday, January 10, the special guest is Andy Aledort, who is "an amazing, amazing guitarist," says Atlas, and is the sideman for Dicky Betts. The session with Aledort, who has played with legends like Jimmy Page, will feature guitar-centric songs.
In addition to showcasing the guests, the original music of the Nancy Atlas Project is also featured.
"It's nice," said Atlas, "you never know what you're going to get. There's so much in life these days, with technology, there's no surprise. We're like a little Christmas present every Friday – it's all wrapped up."
"You're going to see that fire cackling on a big screen," she continued, "you don't know what you're going to get under the tree…I'm trying to change it up each week."
The fireside sessions started with drums, will feature guitar this week and will move on to keyboard and vocals in the following weeks.
On January 17, funk and R&B keyboardist Danny Keane will join Atlas on stage.
Bay Street plans to announce the remaining guests for the series soon.
"There is an art to the show," explained Atlas. "It doesn't just happen. I'm trying to really provide just a top shelf show for Sag Harbor and also a chance for us to get together as a community and enjoy it."
"We always – all of us – have to work so hard in the summer," the performer continued. "This is really about reconnecting with the locals and giving them something that's affordable and really great – that's my goal."
According to the turnout Friday, the first session met that goal.
"We were sold out with a waiting list," said Tim Kofahl, Bay Street's director of marketing and public relations, of Friday's show. "People are anxious to get out of the snow."
Atlas is hopeful the concerts' good turnout will reverberate throughout downtown Sag Harbor.
"I'm tickled pink," she said, "if in any way the repercussion goes out to some of the restaurants or some of the bars in Sag Harbor on a Friday night, if the bartenders and the waitresses make a few extra bucks."
She said when the concert got out around 11 p.m., some 200 people were "roaming the streets looking for food."
Expecting an intimate show, Atlas was surprised and encouraged by the response.
"In its own way," she said of the blizzard, "it was kind of endearing, because it is about the winter and getting together and being all together as a community. And having this wonderful, magical – hopefully – show and then to have the snow – it was just enough."
Fireside Sessions with Nancy Atlas will run every Friday at 8 p.m. through January and February, excluding February 7. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased online at baystreet.org, by phone at (631) 725-9500 or in person at the Bay Street Theatre Box Office on the Long Wharf in Sag Harbor, Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The cost of the ductless mini split air conditioners and heat pump equipment appear to be similar to conventional heat pump systems. Installation costs are based on the complexity of installing refrigerant tubing and whether the presented electrical service can handle the new equipment.
The best way to decide how much a ductless heat pump will cost in particular circumstances is to get several bids. Be sure to state that you want models that qualify for the Federal Energy Tax Credit. Most contractors that install ductless mini split heat pumps can provide comparison bids for traditional heat pumps or furnaces, as well. Many manufacturers' web sites have lists of installers in various areas.
Ductless AC and heat pump models eligible for the Federal Energy Tax Credit and local utility incentives must meet the following specifications:
• Have variable speed compressor ("inverter technology") – providing more efficient operation to match the heating/cooling needs of the house under a variety of weather conditions
• Be listed in the ARI directory and provide at least 50% of rated capacity efficient operation when outside air is 17° F. and have no built-in electric resistance heat.
• Be installed by a technician that has received factory-sponsored training within the past 5 years
Ductless, mini-split-system heat pumps (mini splits) make good retrofit and add-ons to homes with "non-ducted" heating and cooling systems, such as hydronic (hot water heat), radiant panels, and space heaters (wood, kerosene, propane). They can also be a good choice for room additions, where extending or installing distribution ductwork is not possible.
Like regular air-source heat pumps, mini splits have two main components: an outdoor compressor/condenser, and an indoor air-handling unit. A conduit, which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain, links the outdoor and indoor units.
The main advantages of mini splits are their small size and flexibility for zoning or heating and cooling individual rooms. Many models can have as many as four indoor air handling units (for four zones or rooms) connected to one outdoor unit. The number depends on how much heating or cooling is required for the building or each zone (which in turn is affected by how well the building is insulated). Since each of the zones will have its own thermostat, you only need to condition that place when someone is there. This will save energy and money.
Ductless mini-split systems are also often easier to install than other types of space conditioning systems. For example, the hook-up between the outdoor and indoor units generally requires only a three-inch hole through a wall for the conduit. Also, most manufacturers of this type of system can provide a variety of lengths of connecting conduits. If necessary, you can locate the outdoor unit as far away as 100 feet from the indoor evaporator. This makes it possible to cool rooms on the front side of a building house with the compressor in a more advantageous or inconspicuous place on the outside of the building.
In comparison to other add-on systems, mini splits offer more flexibility in interior design options. The indoor air handlers can be suspended from a ceiling, mounted flush into a drop ceiling, or hung on a wall. Floor-standing models are also available. Most indoor units have profiles of about seven inches deep and usually come with sleek, high tech-looking jackets. Many also offer a remote control to make it easier to turn the system on and off when it's positioned high on a wall or suspended from a ceiling.

Dorothy Irvin, Th.D., will present "The Archaeology of Women's Ministries in the Early Church" from 7-8:30 p.m. Thursday, March 10, in the Sinquefield Stateroom, DuBourg Hall.
Everyone is welcome. Refreshments will be provided.
About the Talk:
Beginning with archeological evidence of women's participation as leaders in Jewish worship, Irvin's slide lecture shows women attested to by their contemporary communities as ordained and ministering within the Episcopal structure of the church, women's presence then, their work and their teachings, implanted positive practices and values which are still a part of the church today.
The photographs she shows are authentic photographs, no artists' reconstructions.
An overview of Vatican statements regarding women's ordination is woven into her lecture.
The event is sponsored by the women's studies program, department of theological studies and Faithful of Southern Illinois (FOSIL).

Flash back over three and a half decades. It was a gorgeous late spring day. Temperatures were in the mid to high eighties. The t-tops were off. The big block was running at full song. Seemingly in an instant, the gas pedal went spongy. The rat motor stumbled a wee bit, and then simply quit. We popped the hood in an effort to diagnose the problem. As it turned out the combination of a tight engine compartment, big compression (the factory LS6 was fitted with 12.25:1 pistons and converted to LS7 internal specifications) and big tube headers was simply too much for the fuel delivery system - big stock fuel pump and all. The fuel was percolating in the fuel bowls as well as in the fuel lines. The recurring dilemma was eventually overcome with almost every band-aid fix known to man. But it was never wholly resolved. Aside from boiling the fuel, there likely wasn't sufficient volume to satisfy a thirsty, big horsepower big block.
When it comes to fuel delivery systems, there's no question that big is pretty much the operative word. Proof is the honking fuel pump you'll typically find nestled beside the fuel cell in a NHRA Pro Stock racecar. The trouble is if you have a modified street-driven Corvette--fuel injected or carbureted--then you'll find yourself at a fuel delivery crossroad. You see, with a big cubic inch engine on board, or one with a serious power adder or two (blower, turbo, nitrous or even a combination of the three), there's a definite need for plenty of fuel. On the other hand, those big monster pumps that feed a Pro Stock drag car don't particularly like to run for extended periods of time such as in a street driven car. They weren't designed for that purpose. And heat becomes an issue (this is really critical if the pump configuration doesn't incorporate some form of return or by-pass system - deadheading pumps build heat in a big hurry). The foremost reason is there is nothing to cool the big electric motors used in these pumps.
So what electric pumps are designed for the purpose? You just have to take a look at a modern fuel injected Corvette for some insight. In those applications, the pumps are engineered so that the fuel runs through them. As a result, the fuel supply actually cools the pump as it operates. That means the pump in question can run pretty much wide open for as long as necessary (and as long as there is fuel in the tank).
Does this mean you're stuck with one of those little itsy-bitsy in-tank pumps that are found on most late model Corvettes? Not at all. Several companies offer big in-line fuel pumps that are engineered so that fuel runs through them (for extended operation). Case-in-point is the MagnaFuel 625 pump shown in the accompanying photos. This particular pump offers a number of features you should look for when shopping for a pump:
Aside from the continuous duty capability, this pump is self-priming. That means you don't have to fret about pump mounting. In fact, it is possible to install it vertically or horizontally (mount bracket included). Another bonus is the pump size. It's physically rather small, measuring just under 7.50-inches in length (not counting the fittings or the by-pass). Taking the mount bracket into consideration, the pump measures just under 3.75-inches in height while the body diameter is 3.00-inches.

The longer time you spend on this planet, the harder becoming overwhelmed with the things around seems to get. You still decide to do things, but only out of habit. There is the total lack of luster, the empty void of dejection and the cruel silence of a boring lifestyle.
What's more terrifying is the fact that even pornography becomes as mundane as any living sin on this planet. And that's why we're here today. We are going to talk about one of the main reasons why you should continue to hope in the life of the adult industry. Scoreland is up for review today because of its great credibility in producing top quality porn.
As you enter the thresholds of Scoreland for the first time ever, you will be overwhelmed, period. Take note, every visit will seem like the first time. You know why? They give not just weekly, but daily updates. And that alone makes them an awesome porno site, period. They tend to diversify the choices of their massive amount of members by adding up a new niche per week apart from putting up new things everyday into the existent categories and niches. Most importantly, they are actually the frontliners in the web magazines for the adult industry and this is an achievement more than it is an automatic or whimsically endowed title. Just open that door and enter the arena.
Getting The Gist
The main reason why it's called the Land of Scores goes a long list of specifics. But to give you the gist, it's all about the hotness of the ladies and their naturally bustiness and boob sexiness. So if you love boobs just as all men do, this is not the generic but the perfect choice. Purely authentic, organically celestial as the heavens.
Strong Selling Points
First off, there are 100 models in the site as of the current. There are 7,000 full movies that you would really want to tap into due to the its HD quality, effective storytelling and well-balanced, or perhaps edgy porn action. In addition, you can download as much as you want.
To round things up, we need to consider the figures. For the cheap price of $19.95 it requires a month for a member subscription, Scoreland gets 9.5 out of 10. It's pure quality and it's totally worth it. Enjoy!

Interesting analysis by Ed Klein in The Daily Caller dated today. He writes that his source (in the Clinton circle) indicates Clintons found cables from Hillary ordering increase in security at Benghazi, but her instructions were not followed. The piece implies that someone in the WH dropped the ball on the instructions being implemented. He suggests that if this information comes out (or is leaked), it will place responsibility firmly in the WH for this failure.
That might save Hillary to campaign another day ... but not so good for Obama. Maybe Obama also knew about these cables, and that made him offer some responsibility in advance (at the 2nd debate)? Then, later, he can say that he always took full responsibility.
These are two (three, if you count Bill guiding Hillary's actions) very sly politicians, very experienced in finest CYA. Did anyone really think Bill and Hillary would ever forgive their treatment at the hands of Obama and his group? Right from snatching the nomination in 2008 through to lack of personal contact since Obama moved into the WH.
Funny how things unfold, isn't it? If Hillary had been nominated and won in 2008, with Bill's cagey assistance, she might have come through 4 years looking competent enough to get a second term. With the Obama debacle unfolding more each day, a win now for Romney might still give the needed time to stop the bus from going over the cliff.

Anyway, I need to reset my 8X and when I was reinstalling my apps, iHeartRadio was not listed anymore. I was looking online for why this was and it seem like they pull the App for testing on the WP8 which is funny because you can still get it on the WP7. Does anyone knows when or how to install it back? I use it to listen to one radio station that is located in LA which I live in GA, KFI640. TuneIn Radio app will not let me get the stream.

NXT jousting: the lance, viewed from aft
5 comments:
- Jim Kelly said...
Can you email me the ldraw file for the lances... since you've built them both now, I think you're in the best position to choose which one will be balanced and use the least amount of valuable parts.
I'm already working on riders :) no time for lances... NO TIME FOR LANCES :)
- May 23, 2006, 7:43:00 AM
- Jim Kelly said...
New thought:
When thinking about the design of a rider, how about we try and make the shape so that a paper template can be supplied that can slide over the rider - this paper template could be used to customize the rider with coat-of-arms, name, team colors, etc...
- May 23, 2006, 7:47:00 AM
- Matthias Paul Scholz said...
I've uploaded the LDraw file to my NXT page - feel free to get it from there.
It's the one for the 13 holed head version which I personally consider more convenient (the 15 holed one may be easily deduced from it, though).
As for the rider, the paper template is a nice idea indeed (even with me being into the "pure" stuff - I like to see the way the robot is built and working, according to the old Bauhaus motto "functional is beautiful").
However, there might be the possibility of a pre-set template shape rather limiting the robot creator in its creative power when it comes to designing the rider. Do you think this a valid concern of mine? On the other side, I can easily imagine people adorning their beloved robot knight anyway...:-)
When it comes to the rider, what is your approach towards the "loose coupling"?
Should we just define a standard "mounting point" where each rider will have to "sit" (and pass some pre-defined knock-off tests)? Or even a whole "mounting connection" to build horse and rider around?
In my opinion we have to ensure that this coupling is at least roughly equal for all combatants, else whole fights might become unfair.
After all, most presumably it's a good strategy to build two or three riders with these questions in mind first to get some feeling for the matter.
ps. Dear me, it's gotten pretty late here in Central Europe - I'm going to hit the hay.
- May 23, 2006, 8:35:00 AM
- Jim Kelly said...
Ah, the joys of living on different continents :)
You'll have to read my other comment later (tomorrow) about the rider... but basically I'm thinking we should keep the rider as a standard piece like the lance... and let the mount be the item that is uniquely created... if we have too many variables, it will be harder to keep the competition balanced/fair... maybe I'm wrong, so feel free to push back on this. My thought is that if we define the lance and the rider, we have two components that we can define within the rules with standards:
1. Rider must be a minimum of X cm/inches above the flat surface.
2. Lance end can be no more than X cm/inches from the main body of the rider... etc....
- May 23, 2006, 8:40:00 AM
- Matthias Paul Scholz said...
Good morning Jim,
I have to admit that it didn't even occur to me to have a standardized rider - but it's a capital idea!
As you already pointed out, rules will become much easier with that (clinging to the concept of iterations, we may turn over to user-defined riders in a future advanced step, possibly).
I'd back this - let's see what Brian thinks.

Ex-boyfriend of Cumbria Lotto winner Callie Rogers jailed for drug dealing
Last updated at 14:53, Saturday, 24 January 2009
The ex boyfriend of Lotto winner Callie Rogers has been jailed for dealing cocaine following a raid on her home.
Ryan Thompson, 20, had cocaine with a street value of £5,000 stashed in the millionaire's home in Solway View, Sunny Hill, Whitehaven, when police raided it on December 3.
He also had £2,500 hidden in clothing under the sofa.
Drugs paraphernalia including electronic scales, plastic bags, two mobile phones and a black book containing the names and phone numbers of debtors was also found at the house.
Carlisle Crown Court was told that Miss Rogers, who was initially arrested in the drugs bust but later released without charge, knew nothing of Thompson's dealing.
Miss Rogers was 16 when she scooped £1.9m in the National Lottery in 2003.
Thompson admitted three counts of supplying cocaine and one of possessing the class A drug with intent to supply.
He also admitted illegally possessing a stun gun which he said he bought in Turkey.
Prosecutor Gerard Rogerson said: "When Mr Thompson was interviewed he was forthright and frank with the police."
Drugs – weighing about 130.5g – were found in cupboards and wardrobes in the house and in a coffee container in the kitchen.
Andrew Ford, mitigating, said: "This is a sad case of a decent person who committed a grave crime.
"He has the support of a very good family.
"They saw his descent into cocaine addiction and stopped tolerating him in their homes.
"He got a cocaine habit that he couldn't afford and that's when his lies began.
"He started to live on friends sofas and then with a partner who he hid this from. She had nothing to do with it and their relationship ended on the day of the arrest. It was a complete surprise to her.
"He realises that what he did was utterly stupid and he told me that he wished he had realised before what a brilliant family he had.
"He feels awful about the embarrassment, shame and hurt he has caused his family."
The court was told that Thompson was studying business and maths and going to the gym at Lancaster Farms prison.
Sentencing Thompson Judge Barbara Forrester said: "This isn't a sad case – it's tragic. You were a young man who had everything going for you.
"You got some passes at GCSE and you had a job until you could not get up for work.
"You started dealing to support your own habit.
"You have found out the hard way that it does happen and it happened to you."
She sentenced him to 22 months for supplying and possessing cocaine and a further two months for possessing the stun gun.
Thompson, who had no previous convictions, has already served 49 days on remand.
