Quoting Quiverfull: Stay Sweet?
by Nancy Campbell from Above Rubies - Sour Grapes or Sweet?I feel very sad when I see mothers with a sour face. Down in the mouth. Always a frown. And I see a lot of them. This is not God's picture of a mother. In Psalm 128:3 God paints a picture of the wife in a home that is blessed of the Lord. It tells us that she is a " fruitful vine" in the very heart of her home. Not only does this wife find joy in her home, but she is a fruitful vine, bringing forth luscious sweet fruit. The grapes of a wild unpruned vine are usually bitter. The fruit of a cultivated vine are sweet. … [Read more...]
My Abusive Relationship Was Typical

Stand Up and Speak Your Truth
by AJ cross posted from her blog I Am PhoenixI have always had a hard time standing up for myself. I chalk it up to the way I grew up. I grew up in a cult where women and children weren't allowed to speak up for themselves, especially when we were abused. We weren't allowed to ask "Why?" even in a quiet voice. We were to take abuse quietly, submissively, like Godly females would. Otherwise, all hell would break loose. So, my sisters and I grew up with blank, obedient minds. We were trained to obey male authority without question, and we had a healthy fear of the chain of command above us. We were Godly, submissive sheep who obeyed at the blink of an eye. We grew up with no defenses … [Read more...]

Teenagers are often pressured into lighting up their first cigarette by their friends, but a new study finds that total strangers persuade smokers to quit.
Whether you smoke depends not only on your friends and family, but also on the habits of two additional degrees of separation - your friends' friends' friends.
"In a very deep way, people's smoking cessation decisions resemble flocking of birds," says Nicholas Christakis, a social scientist at Harvard Medical School in Boston who recorded the smoking habits of 12,000 people over 32 years to understand how social networks influence smoking. "The entire flock moves as a whole."
Targeting anti-smoking campaigns at loose social networks such as schools and neighbourhoods, rather than individuals, could help cut smoking rates, he says.
Six degrees of smoking
In 1948, the US National Institutes of Health launched the Framingham Heart Study, an effort to uncover risk factors for heart disease, stroke and other illnesses. The study tracked the health of thousands of people, and later their children and grandchildren.
To help hunt down participants for follow-ups, the study's administrators kept meticulous records of their families, doctors, even friends. Enough of these contacts turned out to be participants themselves that Christakis and colleague James Fowler, of the University of California in San Diego, could mine those records to build a web of 12,067 people, entwined by tens of thousand of connections.
Unsurprisingly, smokers mingled with other smokers. Their friends were 61% more likely to smoke and their friends of friends were 29% likelier to puff. Knowing the friend of a smoker's friend still meant you were 11% likelier to smoke, compared to the general population.
But as smoking rates in the US dropped from 37% in 1970 to 22% in 2003, those links pushed smokers from the centre of social networks to the peripheries - increasingly disconnected from abstainers.
"Whole groups of smokers are quitting at once, it's not just isolated individuals blinking out," Christakis says. "It's whole interconnected groups simultaneously dropping out."
College-educated people were more swayed by their non-smoking peers, and more likely to have friends who don't smoke. "Educated individuals are both more influential and more influenced," Christakis says.
Cig stigma
The increasing stigmatisation of smoking - and smokers - has propelled the change, says Fowler. Targeting anti-smoking campaigns to social networks might better leverage limited funds than focusing on individuals, he says.
But such efforts ought to be wary of pushing smokers further toward the society's fringes. "Well-intentioned campaigns have ended up hurting the social health of smokers," Fowler says.
That's a concern, says Steve Schroeder, head of the Smoking Cessation Leadership Center at the University of California, San Francisco. Yet social pressures could drive deeper cuts in smoking rates, as smokers find they know fewer and fewer people who smoke and eventually quit.
"If social trends are moving this fast, there's some reason to think they'll keep going," he says.

Selling an old mobile could allow for new LG handset
4 May 2010 — 7:00 PM
Mobile recycling with Envirofone may be worth considering for those wanting to get the new LG Viewty GT.
The device is available through 3UK for as little as £15 per month and features a touchscreen and - according to the mobile network - easy-access to social networking sites.
Sylvia Chind, head of branded devices at 3UK, suggested that social networking networking can help users stay up to date with tweets and "on the pulse with the latest pictures uploaded on to Facebook", while also proving easy and affordable.
She added that social networking has taken off in a big way recently.
This may mean that those without access to sites such as Facebook while on the go could wish to upgrade, something that might be possible by selling an old phone with Envirofone.
Recent research from 3UK found that 60 per cent of Britons would be more likely to or would consider travelling in a taxi with Wi-Fi.

Vermont: The Matter of an Old Barn
- Login to add to Favorites
- 4 Comments
One of the neighbors has built himself a nice new barn. He did it between noon and quitting time last Tuesday. Well, not really: The work took a bit longer than that, and he had some help. But his barn did seem fairly to spring up. The slab was down in a day or two; the wall bays and roof trusses, preassembled, came in on a flatbed truck and were installed by a crane. The roof deck, siding, and clapboards went on with the help of a team of men wielding pneumatic nail guns. For a day the job site sounded like Antietam with air rifles. Now the nailers are finished, and the neighbor's barn is, practically, a done deal–not in an afternoon, to be sure, but not wasting any time, either.
Such, today, is our way of barn building in Vermont, it seems; and, really, to do the job in any other way makes little sense. A barn is a barn. It is not a monument, it is not an architectural creation. A barn is not a work of art or, if it is, it is so by accident, because of its age and because of its demonstration of antique skills, materials, tools, and labor. In their time, the Vermont barns of the 18th and 19th centuries didn't appear to grow up overnight. Their builders weren't heavy-equipment operators or technicians. The old barns were designed by farmer-architects and raised by farmer-artisans who possessed a level of skill–probably fairly common at the time–that today is neither enjoyed nor even aspired to by more than a very few.
Our Vermont ancestors, when they turned their hands to practical building, were clever old boys. They had a good eye, and the barns they made, if they aren't quite works of art, look today like something pretty close to it.
Which is exactly my predicament.
I, too, own a barn; indeed, mine is about the same size as my neighbor's: 30 by 40 feet, more or less. There the resemblance ends, however. The neighbor's barn is brand-new. Mine was built before 1800 (nobody knows the year). The neighbor's barn is bright and clean. Mine is a dank, dark cavern of decay. The neighbor's barn is straight and plumb. Mine is racked and buckled, barely hanging on to verticality, like an ill-pitched tent in a high wind. Geometrically a simple structure as built, it now leans in enough different directions to puzzle Euclid himself.
And yet, despite its wrecked condition, the barn still has a charm of its own, offering to the eye a plain, unfussy rightness, a modest perfection that we may as well call beauty. It is constructed of foot-thick timbers of a hard, heavy wood–chestnut, I think. These timbers look to have been cut clean and sharp as though by a sawmill, but in fact they were squared by hand with a broadaxe. They're put together by mortise-and-tenon joints, secured with long wooden pegs and braced near their tops by smaller diagonal members. This arrangement produces a series of lofty triangles; repeated by the hewn-timber rafters of the roof, they give the barn's interior a cathedral-like perspective. They also give the entire structure great strength.
How great is evident in the barn's durability. As far as I know, it hasn't been used for any real agricultural purpose since the 1920s, when this place was last farmed. Since then it has had only the repair and maintenance that I've been able to give it–precious little. The barn's sills are ripp led or rotted away altogether. Its roof is gapped. Parts of its board siding have fallen away. Some of its timbers are separating at their joints, wrenching free of their braces. In short, the building is collapsing.
It's collapsing, but here's the thing: It doesn't collapse. When I came to this property 30 years ago, an experienced builder assured me that the barn wouldn't survive the coming winter's snows. That pessimistic expert has long since gone to his eternal reward. He wasn't a young man at the time. He was, however, far younger than my barn, which stands yet. It stands as a monument to the excellence of its original builders, and–most pointedly, for me–as a monument to the neglect, incompetence, and lousy stewardship of their most recent successor. Am I proud to be the owner of an authentic architectural antique that I seem to be letting go steadily to hell? I am not. Well, then, what about a rescue operation?
Because its construction is simple and easily accessible, the requirements of putting my barn to rights are evident. New sills, partly new roof, replacing some timbers, splicing others, rejointing, rebracing, and pulling the structure into the perpendicular. A job of house jacks, staging, winches–a big job, but not insurmountable. Could I take it on? In theory, yes. As a matter of fact, I've done a bit of work with timber frames and know something of what's involved. Will I take it on? Absolutely not. It's not in my job description. If the barn is going to fall, that event won't be improved by its falling on me.

UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules (with new article 1, paragraph 4, as adopted in 2013), including the UNCITRAL Rules on Transparency in Treaty-based Investor-State Arbitration:
The UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules provide a comprehensive set of procedural rules upon which parties may agree for the conduct of arbitral proceedings arising out of their commercial relationship and are widely used in ad hoc arbitrations as well as administered arbitrations. The Rules cover all aspects of the arbitral process, providing a model arbitration clause, setting out procedural rules regarding the appointment of arbitrators and the conduct of arbitral proceedings, and establishing rules in relation to the form, effect and interpretation of the award.
The original UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules were adopted in 1976 and have been used for the settlement of a broad range of disputes, including disputes between private commercial parties where no arbitral institution is involved, investor-State disputes, State-to-State disputes and commercial disputes administered by arbitral institutions. In 2006, the Commission decided that the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules should be revised in order to meet changes in arbitral practice over the last thirty years. The revision is aimed at enhancing the efficiency of arbitration under the Rules and does not alter the original structure of the text, its spirit or drafting style.
The UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, as revised, have been effective since 15 August 2010. They include provisions dealing with, amongst others, multiple parties arbitration and joinder, liability, and a procedure to object to experts appointed by the arbitral tribunal. A number of innovative features contained in the Rules aim to enhance procedural efficiency, including revised procedures for the replacement of an arbitrator, the requirement for reasonableness of costs, and a review mechanism regarding the costs of arbitration. They also include more detailed provisions on interim measures. It is expected that the Rules, as revised, will continue to contribute to the development of harmonious international economic relations.

You mean the easy steps where you take a default install with 3 ish

That's not _easy_ in my book, especially since the very act of doing so makes

After graduation, she served for two years as a law clerk in Oregon to U.S. District Court Chief Judge Owen M. Panner. Lisa has spent most of her career with the firm, first joining in 1988. She spent a year in Philadelphia as an associate at Schnader, Harrison, Segal & Lewis, and rejoined the firm in 1991.
Lisa served as chair and legal counsel for the Oregon Holocaust Memorial Coalition, a multi-ethnic inter-faith group of organizations. She guided the coalition through a heated six-year legal battle to the Memorial's unveiling in 2004. In 2008, Lisa received the Judge Learned Hand Special Recognition Award for her efforts.
For more than a decade, Lisa served as a board member and an officer for the Oregon Chapter of The American Jewish Committee, the oldest human rights organization in the country. In 2002, Lisa co-chaired a coalition to bring to Portland the international exhibit, Anne Frank: A History for Today, which was visited by more than 60,000 people.
Lisa assisted in creating and raising funds for a permanent endowment held by the Oregon Jewish Community Foundation for the perpetual care of the Oregon Holocaust Memorial in Portland's Washington Park, and for Holocaust education, which encourages educators to teach, and young people to learn, about the Holocaust and fight injustice in their own lives.
She assisted the Oregon Holocaust Resource Center in its recent merger with the Oregon Jewish Museum, which resulted in the new Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education (OJMCHE). Through the Friends of the Memorial, a subcommittee of OJMCHE, Lisa has also been involved in bringing a new exhibit to the OJMCHE, entitled: A Triumph of Life: Commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the Oregon Holocaust Memorial.
Also, earlier this year, Lisa helped Friends of the Memorial bring renowned Jewish-Christian and Holocaust scholar Rabbi Yitz Greenberg and noted Jewish feminist Blu Greenberg to Portland for a 4-day community experience called "Reshaping the World after the Holocaust: a Weekend of Learning."

i seem to be in the minority with dselect, but i think "deselect | update |
install" should do the trick. i keep forgetting what it is with apt-get.
something like "apt-get update, apt-get dist upgrade"

this may not be tennable. the room is the wrong size for a circle, being
relatively thin and long. and a circle of tables is not extensible. it's
hard to add or delete tables.

we can always install the demos. i think we should install something like
quake3, heretic2 or unreal tournament on the demo machine, but i think we
should pay for them if we install them.

Make: Projects
Use a simple mortise-and-tenon joint to make these fine-looking shop horses that'll last a lifetime.
Based on the trestles of a Japanese woodworking bench, these sawhorses are a good beginning joinery project.
They're constructed using the mortise and tenon, the fundamental joint in woodworking. The tenon (end projection) of one piece fits into the mortise (hole) in another piece.
This project uses the drawbore style of mortise and tenon, which is secured by a wooden pin that draws it tight and makes it look great.

Comment and Suggestion
Sun Xingge paintings and calligraphy featured at Museum of Art
Sun Xingge - Chinese Painting and Calligraphy, an exhibition of works by one of Hong Kong's greatest 20th century artists, will be held at the Hong Kong Museum of Art from tomorrow, June 13, until August 20.
Sun, who died in 1996, tirelessly devoted himself to artistic theory and creation, the Acting Assistant Director (Heritage and Museums) of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, Mr Gerard Tsang Chu-chiu, said today (June 12) at the opening ceremony of the exhibition.
"His works, blending poetry, painting and calligraphy, are manifestations of the sentiments and spirit of a traditional Chinese painter cum calligrapher," Mr Tsang said.
He announced that Sun's family had donated 120 of his works to the museum's permanent collection.
"In commemoration of this gracious act, the museum has selected 38 representative works of Chinese painting and calligraphy created by Sun from the 1970s to the 1990s for this special exhibition," he said.
"This is the first exhibition of Sun's work since 1977. It is hoped that visitors will appreciate anew Sun's unyielding integrity and acquire a better understanding of recent developments in Chinese painting and calligraphy in Hong Kong."
Sun Xingge was born in 1897 in Rongcheng, Jieyang district, Guangdong Province. He was educated in classical Chinese literature, history and poetry under the rigorous tutelage of learned scholars. He founded painting societies and magazines while studying in Shanghai and showed his paintings and calligraphy there and in Beijing. The Shanghai magazine The Young Companion even named him one of the "three great modern painters" alongside Wu Changshuo (1844-1927) and Gao Jianfu (1879-1951).
During the Sino-Japanese War, he stayed in Rongchen to help the authorities organize charity exhibitions of paintings and calligraphy and also actively participated in armed resistance against the Japanese and national salvation activities.
In late 1949, he moved to Hong Kong, becoming a close friend of Li Tiefu (1869-1952), Pu Xinyu (1896-1963) and Siu Fai Wing (1947- ). He exhibited successfully in Chaozhou, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia from the 1940s to the 1970s.
Sun's paintings of landscapes, plum blossoms, orchids, chrysanthemums, bamboo, shrimps and crabs are rich in life and ingenuity.
Orchids, one of his favourite subjects, were depicted with free and vigorous brushstrokes that appeared to express not only the proud character of these flowers but also the artist's aloofness and indifference to fame or fortune. His lively portrayal of shrimps and crabs was another indication of his strong affinity with nature.
Landscape paintings were such an important part of Sun's work that he called himself Shiwan Shanren (literally "man of a hundred thousand mountains"). His landscapes are distinctively individual, invigorated by the rhythms of majestic nature.
While rooted in the grand tradition of Chinese painting and calligraphy, Sun energized his brush style with personal nuances. His works were characterised by dark ink tones, grotesque composition and powerful brushstrokes that became even more vigorous in his later years.
The 38 works in the exhibition include landscapes, flowers, birds, shrimps and calligraphy couplets. A fully illustrated catalogue will be published.
The Hong Kong Museum of Art is located at 10 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. It is open from 10am to 6pm daily and is closed on Thursdays (except public holidays). Admission is $10, with a half-price concession for full-time students, senior citizens and people with disabilities. Admission is free on Wednesdays.
For enquiries, call 2721 0116 or visit the Museum of Art's website at

"Republicans are clearly not moved by a change in terminology," Redlawsk said. "This suggests that their opposition to legalizing same-sex marriage is deep and unlikely to change easily. Likewise, those with some college education, who are already pretty supportive of gay marriage, do not become more so simply because the words change.
Nearly a quarter of New Jerseyans have a gay or lesbian family member. More than half have a gay or lesbian friend or acquaintance. About 60 percent of each group supports legal recognition of gay marriage. Using the term marriage equality makes no significant difference to either group but increases support by 11 points to 62 percent among those without a gay or lesbian family member or friend. Respondents without a gay or lesbian friend or acquaintance are even more affected: support climbs 16 points from 43 percent for gay marriage to 59 percent of marriage equality.
"Again we see those with likely greater knowledge on the issue are less influenced by changing the language," Redlawsk said. "But those who have less contact with gay and lesbian people most likely are less connected to the issue and thus more easily moved by changing its frame."
The poll results are from a survey of 903 adults conducted statewide by phone from Oct. 6 to 9. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.

But does it actually generate the tidal wave of support and interest you want and longevity is deserves?
By building an influencer Community, you'll have a better understanding of the type of content that will resonate more highly, and you'll have a waiting audience of people ready to help you share it across their networks.

Vales heard about the school through a fellow foundation member, and as soon as she retired, she got to work on Monarch's behalf. She now does algebra tutoring and helps run "Shopping Day" in which Monarch kids are outfitted with donated clothes, shoes and the priceless gift of confidence.
"Some of these kids have the most awful clothes or clothes that just don't fit. Their shoes are held together by rubber bands," Vales said. "When you're a kid, you just want to look like everybody else, and if you can give them something simple like clean socks or clothes that fit, it helps reduce anxiety and stress so they can focus on something else."
In her spare time, Vales likes to do yoga and get in some urban hiking. But what she really likes to do is work with the passionate women she respects and admires, and work for the kids who need her. As retirement schedules go, it's a full one. And Vales likes the way it all adds up.
"I have the time. I had a successful career, and now it's my turn to give back. And it's fun," she adds. "That's how I get paid."

Four presidential candidates have been cleared by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to vie for the March 4 elections, after presenting their nomination papers.
NARC Kenya's Martha Karua was the first, followed by Peter Kenneth of the Kenya National Congress, James ole Kiyiapi of the Restore and Build Kenya party and United Democratic Forum's Musalia Mudavadi.
Karua, who was accompanied by her running mate Augustine Lotodo presented her nomination papers to IEBC chairman Issack Hassan who cleared her after verifying all her documents at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre.
"It's a great day not just as a woman but as Kenyan. I have been a woman candidate four other times but not for the presidency. I am presenting myself to Kenyans as I am sure that they are ready to listen and I will do my best to convince them that I am best placed to steer the nation to the next level," she asserted.
Kenneth who was second in line was also cleared as he appealed to other presidential candidates to cease from misusing State resources.
"We want to play this game together so that we instil confidence in the electoral process because we still have a country after the elections. I appeal to you to show impartiality because we know that State resources are being used, we want a level playing field," he said as he announced his plans to embark on vigorous campaign with the election slightly over a month away.
He said he was ready for the first presidential debates scheduled for February 11 to show the depth that his presidency is of a different style.
"We can't continue to have the same players and expect change; it can never happen. This election is for Kenyans to decide and not for certain people to set an agenda; the real pollsters will be Kenyans on March 4," he insisted.
Kiyiapi, a former Education Permanent Secretary expressed confidence that IEBC will conduct peaceful election as he appealed for a level playing ground in recognition of all the eight presidential aspirants.
On his part, Mudavadi who was the final candidate to be cleared on Tuesday urged the electoral commission to ensure the poll is free and fair and also appealed to registered voters to ensure they vote on March 4.
"The steps that you are taking (IEBC) are a landmark for this country. We look forward to the more difficult part which is to ensure the process running through is as smooth as possible. You are equal to the task, the challenges will be there but we look forward to free and fair elections that will bring honour to the people of Kenya," he said.
Presidential aspirants were required to present proof of citizenship, evidence of party membership, a nomination certificate from their political parties and a duly signed Code of Conduct as required by the Second Schedule of the Elections Act.
They were also required to present a list bearing the names, respective signatures, identity card or passport numbers and voters' numbers of at least 2,000 voters registered in a majority of the counties.
Aspirants were also required to submit a self declaration form as prescribed by the Leadership and Integrity Act.
They were also required to submit certified copies of their educational qualification certificates, including a degree certificate in accordance with Section 22(2) of the Elections Act.
Jubilee's Uhuru Kenyatta and CORD's Raila Odinga are due to submit their papers to the electoral body on Wednesday as well as Safina's Paul Muite and Alliance for Real Change candidate Mohammed Abduba Dida.

In recent years a strong group of female artists have emerged within the Yirrkala community. These women have been instructed in painting by their fathers and grandfathers and taught designs that have previously been the domain of men. Their works showcase the ongoing cultural inheritance and innovation in Yirrkala. Nonggirrngga Marawili is central to this group and spent many years assisting her husband with the cross-hatching on his works before working independantly on her own works.
Her larrakitj 'Fishtrap at Wandawuy' 2013 depict the gridded fishtrap design associated with the freshwaters of the Djapu clan at Wandawuy. This outstation is surrounded by permanent freshwater and is associated with both Mäna, the ancestral shark and Bol'ngu the thunderman. Rains inspired by the actions of Bol'ngu feed the rivers and fill the billabongs, resulting in a rich sea life that is a home for mäna. The grid refers to the landscape of the site, a network of billabongs surrounded by ridges and high banks and also relates to the grid of a woven fish trap set here by ancestral hunters.

South Walton Turtle Watch had a busy start to the week as a volunteer found a large loggerhead trapped in a hole dug in the sand across from Gulf Place.
Sharon Maxwell, director of the sea turtle watch, was making her rounds in Miramar Beach when she got the call early Monday, which happened to be World Sea Turtle Day.
"The volunteer didn't know what to think," Maxwell said. "She thought the loggerhead was dead until she moved her back flipper."
The incident was a first for the turtle watchers.
"We can tell by tracks that turtles have fallen in holes before, but they always get back out," Maxwell said. "This is the first time we've seen a sea turtle that couldn't make it back out."
Maxwell and volunteers called the Walton County Sheriff's Office, the Tourist Development Council and a beach maintenance crew to help dig the turtle out of the hole.
First they worked to expose her head so she could breathe, and then fashioned an escape ramp of sorts. It took three people to lift the female turtle, which was estimated to weigh about 300 pounds, out of the hole.
"So many people offered to help, the Sheriff's Office and TDC came out with shovels, even people just walking by stopped to help," Maxwell said. "It was pretty heartwarming."
After the turtle was out of the hole, volunteers cupped their hands and poured water over her head. Someone brought a bucket, which was used to pour more water over her. That seemed to revive her and she walked back into the Gulf and swam away, volunteers said.
Incidents like this are exactly why turtle watch volunteers start walking the beach at 5:15 a.m.
"It probably saved her life," Maxwell said of the loggerhead. "If she had sat in the sun for too long, she wouldn't have lived.
"We're really thankful she lived and could get back in the water."

Does Bay Area need to strengthen two more bridges?
By dcuff
Wednesday, December 17th, 2008 at 9:18 am in Bridges, Caltrans, driving, Retrofitting, tolls.
When Bay Area bridge need to be made stronger to withstand big earthquakes, drivers usually end up paying higher bridge tolls to cover the big bills.
So brace for a new study due out today to advise whether whether the Dumbarton and Antioch bridges need expensive seismic upgrades.
At 1:30 p.m. today in Oakland , the Bay Area Toll Authority board will hear the results of a two-year seismic study on the two bridges. The Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989 triggered upgrades on many bridges in the Bay Area, but it was determined at that time that the relatively new Antioch and Dumbarton bridges didn't need them.
Caltrans and the Bay Area Toll Authority decided a fresh look at the two bridges was warranted to consider information scientists and engineers have learned from more recent big earthquakes in this country and other nations.
The toll authority board meets at the Joseph P. Bort MetroCenter, first floor auditorium 101 8th Street. Oakland.
