Ryan Gosling saves pink-wigged British woman from gnarly taxi accident
The woman in question, reports the New York Observer, is Laurie Penny -- who writes for "the Independent, Guardian, Al-Jazeera, The Nation and others" according to her Twitter feed, where she detailed the her life-saving brush with fame.
I literally, LITERALLY just got saved from a car by Ryan Gosling. Literally. That actually just happened.-- Laurie Penny (@PennyRed) April 3, 2012
I was crossing 6th avenue in a new pink wig. Not looking the right way because I am from London. Ryan Gosling grabbed me away from a taxi.-- Laurie Penny (@PennyRed) April 3, 2012
He did not say 'hey, girl.' He said 'hey, watch out!'-- Laurie Penny (@PennyRed) April 3, 2012
In August 2011, Gosling made headlines when he intervened in a street fight -- again, mainly to move the squabblers out of the street. On that occasion he was disguised as a gym rat -- wearing a striped muscle shirt and sweats. This time, according to Penny, Gosling was clothed in head-to-toe denim which may or may not be his superhero garb.
Confession: I did a double-double-take because, initially, I thought it was @jedweightman. Then realised Jed would not wear double denim.-- Laurie Penny (@PennyRed) April 3, 2012
Bradley Cooper, what have you done for us lateley?

BOISE, Idaho Boise State University Director of Athletics Gene Bleymaier announced the hiring of Nicole Harris as the head coach of the Bronco women's golf team, Wednesday.
Harris, who will start immediately, joins the Boise State coaching ranks after serving as an assistant coach with TCU in Fort Worth, Texas, since 2003. The Horned Frogs made five consecutive NCAA postseason appearances during her time at the school.
"We are extremely pleased to have someone of Nicole's caliber and experience joining our staff," Bleymaier said. "She has been an integral part of TCU's success the past four-plus years."
This past season Harris helped lead the school to the Mountain West Conference Championship, an 11th-place finish at the NCAA National Women's Golf Championships and a final national ranking of No. 17 (Golfstat).
A 2000 graduate of Centenary College in Shreveport, La., Harris competed on the Ladies' golf team for two years and was team captain her senior year. She also competed on the women's golf team for two seasons at Western New Mexico University in Silver City, N.M.
From 2000-02 Harris served as the manager of tournament administration for the American Junior Golf Association in Braselton, Ga., running a number of junior golf tournaments all over the country.
"I am extremely excited about the opportunity to coach at Boise State," Harris said. "I am really impressed with the entire athletic department as well as the University itself. I am really happy to be a part of it."

Timbers to participate in First Division college draft
The Portland Timbers have the fourth and 17th overall picks in the upcoming 2007 USL First Division College Player Draft, which will be held Wednesday, Jan. 24. The draft, which begins at 12 noon Pacific Time, will be conducted via conference call.
The draft is comprised of two rounds of 13 picks. As in the past, the draft order was determined by ranking teams in reverse order of their 2006 regular-season finish. The Carolina RailHawks and the California Victory, expansion franchises for 2007, will receive the first and second picks in each round, respectively.
Timbers head coach and general manager Gavin Wilkinson attended the USL Player Showcase in December to scout players and has attended several regional and collegiate matches in anticipation of the upcoming draft.
"I'm very much looking forward to the draft," said Wilkinson. "The USL player draft provides a great opportunity to bring in more quality players for our team."
Only college seniors, other college players with no remaining eligibility, or college or high school players that have expressed in writing that they are forgoing their remaining years of eligibility are eligible for the draft.
In 2006, the Timbers selected defender Anthony Noreiga from George Mason with their first pick and defender Kenney Bertz from Maryland with their second-round pick.
First Round (8th overall) – Anthony Noreiga, D (George Mason)
Second Round (20th overall) – Kenney Bertz, D (Maryland)
First Round (12th overall) – Justin Cook, F (Ohio State)
Second Round (24th overall) – Dan Kennedy, GK (UC-Santa Barbara)
First Round (9th overall) – Alan Gordon, F (Oregon State)
Second Round (25th overall) – Leonard Griffin, D (UCLA)
First Round (12th overall) - Ryan Coiner, F (San Diego)
Second Round (31st overall) - Curtis Spiteri, GK (Portland)
First Round (11th overall) - Bryn Ritchie, D (Washington)
Second Round (29th overall) - Ben Somoza, M (Washington)

How to give terracotta pots years of patina.
The first blooms of spring deserve to be displayed in flowerpots indoors, too. In a room with more traditional decor or antique furniture, though, brand-new terracotta pots can look out of place. I wanted to give my pots a weathered look, without waiting a month for the usual moss-and-buttermilk method to take hold. Luckily, with dolomitic lime and a paintbrush, you can give flowerpots a little patina in a few short hours. The finished pot should only be used indoors, since rain will wash away the finish.
Materials and Tools
- Terracotta flowerpots
- Protective gloves
- Small container of dolomitic lime (check your hardware store or garden centre)
- Measuring cup
- Paint stir stick
- Natural-bristled brush
- Paper towel or soft cloth
Step 1: Mix lime
Wearing gloves, mix 1/2 cup dolomitic lime and 1 cup hot water (avoid other types of lime, which can be dangerous to handle). Stir until the lime is completely dissolved. This will be enough to faux-weather a few pots; if you run out, simply mix 1 part lime to 2 parts hot water to make more.
Step 2: Paint pots
Lightly brush the lime mixture onto clean flowerpots using a natural-bristled brush. (This will give more texture than using a sponge brush.) Make sure the coverage is uneven for a more naturally weathered look. Let dry.
Step 3: Wipe off grit
When the pots are dry, the lime will have a slightly sandy texture. Wipe the pots with a clean, dry paper towel or soft cloth until they feel smooth. For a heavier patina, I gave my pots a second coat of the lime mixture and wiped them off again, but you can stop after one coat if you like.

For over 11 years, Ken Morse has served everyone from veteran fishermen on the East End to the green tourist looking to hook his first catch.
For years, Morse, who has a degree in ecology with a focus on marine science, has run a successful business out of Tight Lines Tackle inside the Sag Harbor Yacht Yard on Bay Street. He offers not just rods, reels, tackle and lures, but education in the local fishing industry when needed.
Unfortunately, Morse hasn't had many customers in the late fall to share his expertise with.
Since the third week in October a portion of Bay Street has been closed to traffic while ExxonMobil officials attempt to remediate a section of the roadway and village-owned grassland in an effort to clean up tainted soil that began seeping up from the ground in the summer of 2010.
As part of the remediation plan, ExxonMobil workers are removing 950-cubic-yards of fill near the intersection of Burke and Bay streets. With Bay Street closed to traffic from just past the Dockside Bar & Grill to just in front of the Loeffler building, which houses several businesses and offices, traffic from Route 114 has been routed from Bay Street to High Street and back out to Bay Street via Rysam Street.
ExxonMobil has provided signs to aid cars attempting to get around the road closure and to the other side of Bay Street when coming from Sag Harbor's Main Street.
However, Morse says that has done little to help his business, which has floundered since Bay Street was closed.
"There is zero traffic coming our way," said Morse on Monday.
"My last good weekend was Columbus Day, and that was right around when they were getting ready to get started," he added.
Morse said he was working with his accountant to put together paperwork for ExxonMobil showing the decline in business this year compared to the same time in years past. He estimates business has dropped a whopping 60 to 80 percent when compared to previous years.
Project delays have led to the remediation stretching into the month of December rather than finishing up in November — a devastating blow, said Morse, as it could mean the entirety of his holiday business sales may be affected by the project.
Morse is not the only business that has been affected. Lynn Park, the owner of La Maisonette, an antiques and home furnishings store on the ground floor of the Loeffler Building, said the remediation has "definitely affected business."
"We are a new business and depend a lot on drive-by traffic," said Park on Sunday. "With no through traffic it has been very, very slow."
Sag Harbor Yacht Yard owner Lou Grignon said he, too, believes businesses in the area that depend on retail sales have been hurt by the road closure. While the yacht yard is faring well, its ship store has seen a decline in business, he said.
Amy O'Donnell-Rajs, coined an "operational wizard and geeklet" at GeekHampton, also located in the Loeffler Building, said that company's clientele — desperate for tutorials, technical support or repairs for their computers — are driven to find a way to the store regardless of a road closure.
"We have customers who will persevere," she said.
However, O'Donnell-Rajs said that the detour has proven difficult for a lot of customers to navigate and signage informing people that businesses are operating east of the road closure would be helpful for everyone in the neighborhood.
ExxonMobil has heard that request.
On Monday, field manager for ExxonMobil Kristin Mobyed met with Morse briefly, he said, and informed him that she would pass on any information he had to ExxonMobil about his situation. Morse said he and his accountant were compiling financial records to submit to the corporation later this week.
Mobyed did agree to order new signage informing people that businesses are open east of the road closure, and changing the dates on a sign indicating the project's length.
According to Claire Hassett of ExxonMobil's Public and Government Affairs department, the company anticipates "completing this work before the December holidays."
"I can tell you that we appreciate the public's patience as we work to complete this project in the safest manner possible," said Hassett in an email.
"Obviously, I cannot speak to how businesses have been impacted," said Hassett in a separate phone interview. "We certainly want to work with the community to make sure any issues are addressed."
After hearing the road closure had impacted businesses in the area, Sag Harbor Village Mayor Brian Gilbride immediately took advertisements on WLNG and The Express in an effort to help.
"I think it is important we let people know that businesses in the area of the ExxonMobil project are open for business," he said. "I would encourage all village residents to support them at this time."

Investment veteran Warren Buffett is backing JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon to replace Tim Geithner as US treasury secretary.
Geithner has expressed a desire to leave the post after four years of service, following Barack Obama's re-election.
Speculation has mounted a number of high profile asset management names are in the running to take over the position, including Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, and Goldman Sachs veteran Gary Gensler.
Dimon (pictured) has also been widely tipped and has this week won the backing of investment veteran Warren Buffett, according to Bloomberg.
"If we did run into problems in markets, I think he would actually be the best person you could have in the job, as world leaders would have confidence in him."
However, speaking to CNBC in 2011 Dimon played down speculation he would one day become US treasury secretary, arguing he is not suited to politics.

Ian Kinsler would switch positions if asked by Rangers
Nov 15, 2012, 11:57 PM EDT
Jurickson Profar is regarded as one of the top position prospects in the game, but there's no room for him in the Rangers' infield as long as Elvis Andrus is at shortstop and Ian Kinsler is at second base. Rangers general manager Jon Daniels is reluctant to part with either Profar or Andrus, at least if recent trade talks regarding Diamondbacks outfielder Justin Upton can be believed, so one potential solution is a position switch for Kinsler.
The Rangers haven't broached the topic with Kinsler, so it's just an idea for now. But Kinsler told Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that he would switch positions if asked.
"I'm paid to be a Texas Ranger," Kinsler said Thursday afternoon before hosting Thanksgving dinner at the Family Gateway in Dallas. "Where I play on the field is not my decision. I'm going to do whatever I can to help the team win regardless of where I am on the fielder or where I'm hitting in the batting order."
The Rangers probably won't make a decision on a possible position switch until the offseason winds down, but there could be openings in left field and at first base. Aside from playing two innings at third base in September due to unusual circumstances, Kinsler has exclusively played second base in the major leagues.
Kinsler, 30, signed a five-year, $75 million extension with the Rangers in April which includes a $10 million option for 2018.
- amaninwhite - Nov 16, 2012 at 12:04 AM
This is not the type of leadership that Michael Young endorses.
- mkd - Nov 16, 2012 at 3:04 AM
Yeah, based on the standard media equation Whatever Michael Young Does = Being a Great Teammate, Ian Kinsler is a totally crappy teammate. I can't believe they signed that malcontent to a five year extension.
- shawnuel - Nov 16, 2012 at 12:08 AM
Damn….beat me to the punch!
- entersandman42ny - Nov 16, 2012 at 12:09 AM
He didn't exactly say he was willing to switch positions. He just gave the typical player's response about doing what's best to help the team. Not much of a story here. Headline could read "Ian Kinsler would hit ninth if asked by Rangers."
- vallewho - Nov 16, 2012 at 1:10 AM
I'm pretty sure that he thinks that what's best for the team is for him to be at 2B.
- mkd - Nov 16, 2012 at 3:13 AM
Every player knows how to issue these whatever-helps-the-ballclub platitudes because anything else makes you look like a selfish jerk. Which is what was so hilarious about Michael Young throwing a fit about moving off SS and then throwing another fit about moving off 3B. He couldn't even muster the will to PRETEND like he was only interested in helping the team and he STILL gets hailed as a great teammate and leader. This absolutely fascinates me. I'm pretty sure it's the key to something.
- joerymi - Nov 16, 2012 at 12:16 AM
Jurickson Profar…great damn name.
- wpjohnson - Nov 16, 2012 at 10:48 AM
And also a potentially great player.
- kiwicricket - Nov 16, 2012 at 2:52 AM
He would a lot of his value if he played first, but an infield defense of Beltre, Andrus, Profar and Kinsler at 1st would be incredible
- paperlions - Nov 16, 2012 at 7:10 AM
Yeah, he really doesn't hit enough to play first….but neither do any of the Rangers' other options. He'd still be an offensive improvement over what they played there in 2012.
- klingonj - Nov 16, 2012 at 6:12 AM
I remember the NY Mets great move of Reyes to 2B to allow for Japanese import Kaz Matsui working out so well. This type of move always blows up the clubhouse.
- churchoftheperpetuallyoutraged - Nov 16, 2012 at 8:03 AM
I don't know, Arod moving to 3b worked out relatively well.
- innout10 - Nov 16, 2012 at 9:12 AM
More importantly … Why was he having thanksgiving dinner yesterday?
- wpjohnson - Nov 16, 2012 at 10:49 AM
Profar needs a position.
- billymc75 - Nov 16, 2012 at 8:50 PM
You have to keep his on base is unreal
- rangermania - Nov 16, 2012 at 10:26 PM

EVE Online, the extremely popular MMO about to reach its tenth birthday has been honoured again, this time by The Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The famous museum's new Applied Design installation opened to the public yesterday (March 1st) and will be running until January 31st 2014.
The guys at CCP Games responded to this by creating "Day in the Universe" a visual experience that takes views on a journey into the EVE universe through the joint experience of the players. This was done by putting a call out for gamers to submit personal game play recordings, all from a single day. This was then combined and compressed into the spectral that is "Day in the Universe"
"We couldn't imagine telling the story of the EVE Universe without putting our players and their actions front and centre," said Torfi Frans Olafsson, Creative Director, EVE IP Development Division. "The exhibition was such an inspiring project to work on. Seeing our universe under the same roof as so many other legendary works we love makes that collaboration an even more meaningful honour."

APP OF THE DAY: World of Goo review (Android)2 October 2012
To be honest, World of Goo is a bit odd.The first time you load it up, it doesn't make huge amounts of sense. And if you don't know what you're doing, it can take a little while to fumble through. But there's also something vaguely unnerving about helping... >>

Wheat recovered slightly last week with most of the buying centered on improving world wheat demand. Egypt returned to the market, buying a lot of Black Sea wheat. For the week ending Aug. 1, September Minneapolis gained 5.25 cents, September Chicago gained 7.75 cents and September Kansas City picked up 15.25 cents. Minneapolis and Chicago both traded to new weekly lows.
Wheat started the week off with gains, but slowly slipped lower throughout the session. Early support was from an improving demand outlook as U.S. wheat exports have been able to hold their own against the other major exporting countries. But once corn extended its losses, wheat joined in. The winter wheat exchanges were the best performers, while Minneapolis continues to struggle. Crop conditions remain good and crop potential for wheat in the Northern Plains remains favorable. This kept the Minneapolis market on the defense.
The July 30 session saw wheat trading higher because of a lot of export news. Early support was from news that Japan was lifting its ban on white wheat (which was put in place soon after genetically modified wheat was found in Oregon). Soon after the ban was lifted, Japan bought 89,579 metric tons of white wheat and 31,721 metric tons of spring wheat from the U.S. (as well as 23,282 metric tons from Canada and 33,630 metric tons from Australia). Taiwan also stepped into the wheat market, buying 97,200 metric tons of U.S. wheat. Additional support was from reports that Egypt was again buying wheat. Granted, the wheat was not U.S. wheat, but it was another significant sale, and it all helps reduce bushels. Egypt bought 240,000 metric tons of wheat equally from Ukraine and Romania.
Wheat flip-flopped the next two sessions. The July 31 session was spent on the higher side, as wheat continued to see support from all of last week's export news. The Aug. 1 session saw losses again, as the market followed corn and soybeans lower.
As of July 28, the winter wheat harvest was 81 percent complete, compared with 75 percent the previous week and 82 percent for the five-year average. Spring wheat heading is estimated at 94 percent, compared with 85 percent the previous week and 95 percent for the five-year average. Spring wheat's condition rating was unchanged at 68 percent good to excellent, 26 percent fair and 6 percent poor to very poor.
The corn market chopped around last week, but lacked buying interest and again showed weekly losses. Ideal weather for pollination and the lack of export demand continue to pressure the futures. For the week ending Aug. 1, September lost 6 cents and December was down 10 cents.
Selling pressure continued on July 29, with the lack of fresh news. The weather is the main focus and the forecast calls for above-normal moisture and lower temperatures for most of the Corn Belt. Additional weakness came from the crash in basis the week ending July 26. Crop scouts are also seeing trend line yield potential in the eastern Corn Belt.
The futures rebounded the next two days and closed with small gains. Concerns have started to surface about the low temperatures delaying crop development and that an early frost would certainly hurt the quality and yield expectations. There are also some dry areas in the northern Midwest, and these areas continue to miss the rains. Short covering was also noted in this oversold market and the basis firmed up last week.
Corn traded sharply lower on Aug. 1, ending near session lows. Selling interest came back into the market with a weather run that showed an increased chance of rain for Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois. The ethanol report was also disappointing. The International Grains Council estimated the world corn crop for 2013 and 2014 at 942 million tons, down 4 million tons from previous estimates, but still a record high. The current USDA estimate is at 959.84 million tons.
Ethanol production for the week ending July 26 averaged 832,000 barrels per day, down 2.5 percent from the previous week. Corn used in production the week ending July 26 is estimated at 87.4 million bushels and needs to average 100.5 million per week to meet this crop year's USDA estimate of 4.6 billion bushels. This crop year's cumulative usage for ethanol production is 4.08 billion bushels. Stocks were estimated at 16.45 million barrels, down 4.67 percent from the previous week and 15.2 percent from last year.
The crop progress report showed 71 percent of the corn is silking, versus 93 percent one year ago and a five-year average of 75 percent. Corn that is in the dough stage was at 8 percent, versus 35 percent one year ago and a five-year average of 17 percent. The condition is rated as 63 percent good to excellent, 26 percent fair and 11 percent poor to very poor.
Soybeans recovered some ground last week, as technical buying stepped in to correct an oversold market condition. New crop continues to be under pressure from good growing conditions. For the week ending Aug. 1, August was up 8 cents, while November was 36 cents lower.
Soybeans closed mostly lower July 29 and 30 with the August contract being the exception July 29. A bounce in old crop versus new crop spreads and the stabilizing cash market provided nearby support on July 29. The favorable forecast placed pressure on the market, with mild weather and beneficial rainfall expected. July 29 export inspections were seen as bearish. On July 30, USDA announced a sale of 290,000 metric tons of soybeans to unknown destinations for 2013 and 2014 delivery.
August soybeans led the market higher again July 31, closing with sharp 24 cent gains as the old crop basis stabilized after the previous week's big drop. New crop contracts followed moderately higher, but were limited as chart momentum remains down. Crop conditions remain good and the weather forecast is nonthreatening. USDA announced a sale of 120,000 metric tons of soybeans to unknown destinations for 2013 and 2014 delivery July 31.
Soybean contracts closed near the day's lows Aug. 1 as nonthreatening weather continues to pressure the market. The weather remains mild, and rain in the forecast should arrive at a critical time for soybeans filling pods. Additional pressure came from outside markets, as the U.S. dollar was sharply higher. Aug. 1 export sales were seen as neutral to bullish.
As of July 28, 65 percent of the nation's soybean crop was in bloom, compared with 46 percent the previous week and 74 percent for the five-year average. Soybeans setting pods were at 20 percent, compared with 8 percent the previous week and 34 percent for the five-year average. Soybean's crop condition rating was down 1 percent at 63 percent good to excellent, 28 percent fair and 9 percent poor to very poor.
USDA reported barley export shipments pace for the week ending July 26 at 12,000 bushels, all going to Canada. This brings barley's export shipment pace to 239,000 bushels, compared with 72,000 bushels for last year. Barley export sales pace for the week ending July 26 was estimated at a negative 400,000 bushels (Japan cancellation of 8,900 metric tons). This brings barley's export sales pace to 2.4 million bushels, compared with 6.2 million for last year.
As of July 28, barley heading was estimated at 98 percent complete, compared with 91 percent the previous week and 95 percent for the five-year average. Barley's crop condition rating improved 3 percent to 68 percent good to excellent, 28 percent fair and 4 percent poor to very poor.
Aug. 1 cash feed barley bids in Minneapolis dropped to $4.25 per bushel, while malting barley bids dropped to $6.15.
USDA reported no durum export shipments or sales for the week ending July 26. This brings durum's export sales pace to 4.3 million bushels, compared with 6.6 million for last year.
As of July 28, North Dakota's durum crop was 91 percent headed, compared with 77 percent the previous week and 84 percent for the five-year average. Durum's crop condition rating declined 1 percent to 79 percent good to excellent, 19 percent fair and 2 percent poor.
Aug. 1 cash bids for milling quality durum were at $7.60 per bushel in Berthold, N.D., while Dickinson, N.D., bids were $6.95.
Canola futures on the Winnipeg, Manitoba, exchange closed the week ending Aug. 1 with $7.50 (Canadian) losses and at a new weekly low. Canola started the week on the defense, with selling tied to spill over selling from a lower U.S. soybean complex. Technical selling was also seen as canola remains below support. Ideal weather conditions in much of the Northern Plains added selling pressure. Late week strength was from technical buying, as most markets have traded down to major support levels and needed a corrective bounce.
As of July 28, North Dakota's canola was 97 percent in bloom, compared with 92 percent the previous week and 99 percent for the five-year average. Canola turning color was estimated at 15 percent, compared with 7 percent the previous week and 36 percent for the five-year average. North Dakota's canola crop condition rating increased 4 percent to 80 percent good to excellent, 16 percent fair and 4 percent poor to very poor.
Aug. 1 cash canola bids in Velva, N.D., were at $21.67 per hundredweight.
Dry beans
As of July 28, 62 percent of North Dakota's dry bean crop (35 percent of nation's acreage) was blooming, compared with 38 percent the previous week and 78 percent for the five-year average. North Dakota's crop condition rating increased 1 percent to 58 percent good to excellent, 35 percent fair and 7 percent poor to very poor. Minnesota's dry beans (9 percent of the nation's acreage) are 68 percent bloomed, compared with 42 percent the previous week. Minnesota's dry bean crop condition rating declined 5 percent to 59 percent good to excellent, 32 percent fair and 9 percent poor.
As of July 28, 5 percent of North Dakota's sunflower crop was in bloom, compared with 2 percent the previous week and 17 percent for the five-year average. North Dakota's sunflower crop condition rating improved 12 percent to 83 percent good to excellent, 13 percent fair, and 4 percent poor to very poor.
USDA estimated the soybean oil export sales pace for the week ending July 26 at 11.5 trillion metric tons (11.3 million old crop, 200,000 new crop), with a majority of the soybean oil (6,000 metric tons) going to Germany and Norway (5,000 metric tons). This brings the year-to-date export sales pace for soybean oil to 911.6 trillion metric tons, compared with 554.1 trillion last year.
Aug. 1 cash sunflower bids in Fargo, N.D., were at $20.95 per hundredweight.

By Standard Team
US Ambassador Michael Ranneberger fought off claims by 'Red' team he has taken sides in the raging referendum politics on a day he curiously received defectors from 'No' team.
Accused by Higher Education Minister William Ruto, who is leading the 'Red' team, of crossing the red-line or no-go-zone for foreign diplomats, Ranneberger argued he was operating within his diplomatic orbit â more so because the US is a friend of Kenya and is pro-reform. US Ambassador to Kenya Michael Ranneberger maintains he is conducting civic education and US is Kenyaâs friend.
US Ambassador to Kenya Michael Ranneberger maintains he is conducting civic education and US is Kenyaâs friend.
But still the âNoâ team claimed the envoy, who is the face of President Barack Obamaâs administration in Kenya, argued he has thrown away diplomatic etiquette and was now an actor in the referendum politics.
By seemingly doing so, the âNoâ team reacted in manner suggesting Ranneberger had crossed the forbidden line and encroached on what they could be seeing as their vote-basket. And more interestingly, Ruto and Ranneberger were in Kisii yesterday, although for a different mission and not quite far from each other.
But as the drama between the envoy and Rutoâs team unfolded, two claims stood out: The first was the claim by Ruto the envoy was dishing out money to MPs to lure them to support for âYesâ.
On the other hand, the âYesâ teamâs claim liberal American churches, particularly the pro-life groups, were secretly funnelling campaign money into the âNoâ kitty.
Ruto asked the question again: What is Rannebergerâs interest in the bid to force down the throats of Kenyans what he called a âbad constitutionâ
Rannegerger on his part dispelled accusations he was meddling with the constitutional review. He responded his Government was doing everything possible to ensure Kenyans understood the Proposed Constitution because they were allegedly being misled.
And to demonstrate the importance attached to the referendum by the US Government, Ranneberger received defectors from âNoâ camp. He also met pastors, religious leaders, and some members of the local âNoâ secretariat who announced they were now going to support the draft law.
On Monday evening, Ranneberger disputed Rutoâs claim he had given each MP Sh200,000. He expressed regret politicians were using referendum campaigns to divide Kenyans instead of uniting them.

A Vegan ThanksgivingPosted by ♦***Admin--Dia***♦ on November 21st, 2009. Filed under: Casein Free, Dairy Free and Vegan, Macrobiotic, Vegetarian, Wheat and Gluten Free.
Thanksgiving naturally reminds the vast majority of Americans of Turkey. For many vegans, Tofurky has become a popular favorite on the holiday, but if you are like me: vegan, American and don't like tofu, what in the world are you going to eat?
I've put together some suggestions for an all vegan Thanksgiving.
I always love starting off any big holiday meal with a soup. Some people think that is a little nutty, since they want to save room for the main course, but I find a nice spicy and refreshing soup cleanses the palate and gets your body ready for what's to come next.

Another spicy starter would be these tasty Thai Sweetcorn Cakes which are gluten free as well as vegan. One bite of these, you'll think you've gone to heaven. I even have two BBC producers eating them on film from the day they came to test shoot me back in September. The cakes went down well, and they are perfect if you are expecting a big crowd.

Main Courses:
Gluten Free & Vegan Pumpkin Gnocchi is a fun way to feed non-vegans who may be visiting for Thanksgiving dinner, without them feeling it's less festive. Trust me, these little gnocchi are just as filling as anything else, so no one will be going home hungry.

Spaghetti with Chickpea Bolognese is the perfect way to get some protein into your Thanksgiving feast. My father used to cook this often when I was a kid, and it tastes even better now that I use vegan spread instead of butter–and it is healthier too! I think chick peas are delicious (I don't know about you) and wouldn't miss them out for such a special meal. P.S. You can substitute any kind of noodle for spaghetti, just make sure it's vegan!

Maybe a Gluten free, macrobiotic and vegan Upside down Apple cake isn't what your guests will be expecting for dessert, but I almost fainted when I tasted this cake for the first time–one of the most delicious desserts I have ever experienced. You may think I'm a little biased, but believe me, I'm my worst critic! For me to say this is by far the most fantastic cake I have ever made, means it tastes wonderful! And it is refined sugar free!! This will sure go down a treat with your family and friends.

Another variation of the apple pie is apple tartlet. My little apple tartlets are perfect again if you are having more than 10 people coming over, especially if the people coming over don't want to fill up on pie. One or two tartlets should do the trick! These are a fun thing to make with your kids the night before.
For Apple Tartlet recipe click here
Of course it isn't Thanksgiving without Pumpkin pie. I grew up loving this dessert, and given the opportunity I would have a slice of it every night. This recipe, however, is for my Apple Butter Pumpkin Pie. I make it from scratch, and it does take some time to prepare the apple butter, I'm not going to fib ya. But the taste is well worth it.
For Apple Butter Pumpkin Pie recipe click here
There ya have it, my all vegan Thanksgiving meal! Most of the recipes are also gluten free, if not all of them. They are easily tweakable, so if you prefer rice flour to oat flour or peanut milk to oat milk, give it a try!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Dardenne v. MoveOn.org Civil Action
Date Filed:
Case #: 14-00150-SDD-SCR
United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana
Full Text Opinion: http://front.moveon.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Dardenne_v_MoveOn_OrderOpinion.pdf
LexisNxis Link: 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 47662
Westlaw Link: not yet available
Trademarks: Trademark Infringement: When a private group used a State's registered service mark to criticize the Governor of the State, the Court determined that the use of the mark would not confuse viewers as to the owner of the mark.
Opinion (Dick): Louisiana sought a preliminary injunction to prevent MoveOn.org from using a Louisiana registered service mark to criticize the Governor of the State. Louisiana's Lieutenant Governor's office argued that MoveOn.org's use of a Louisiana trademark on a billboard caused irreparable injury to the State. The service mark, "Louisiana: Pick Your Passion," is registered with the Louisiana Secretary of State. MoveOn.org's billboard criticized Louisiana's Health Care policies and used the trademark on the billboard. For the State to establish a trademark infringement claim, the State must establish ownership of a legally protectable service mark and must show that the infringement created a likelihood of confusing the consumer or viewer. The Court held that the State did not demonstrate the likelihood that the billboard would confuse viewers about who owned the mark and who created the parody advertisement. There was no showing that the State suffered irreparable injury, and therefore the Motion for Preliminary Injunction was DENIED.

See the introduction and links to all installments at the top of my John Calvin, Calvinism, and General Protestantism web page; also the online version of the Institutes. Calvin's words will be in blue throughout. All biblical citations (in my portions) will be from RSV unless otherwise noted.
* * * * *
* * * * *
Book IV
1. Summary of the chapter. Reasons why God, in governing the Church, uses the ministry of men. 1. To declare his condescension. 2. To train us to humility and obedience. 3. To bind us to each other in mutual charity. These reasons confirmed by Scripture.
We are now to speak of the order in which the Lord has been pleased that his Church should be governed. For though it is right that he alone should rule and reign in the Church, that he should preside and be conspicuous in it, and that its government should be exercised and administered solely by his word; yet as he does not dwell among us in visible presence, so as to declare his will to us by his own lips, he in this (as we have said) uses the ministry of men, by making them, as it were, his substitutes, not by transferring his right and honour to them, but only doing his own work by their lips, just as an artificer uses a tool for any purpose.
A great statement of the importance of offices in the Church. The same "tools" reasoning, of course, also applies to the papacy, yet when Calvin turns to that topic, it is all flawed "either/or" reasoning: if God is head of the Church, how can the pope be?, etc. yet his followers don't seem to notice that he applies a double standard when he argues in such a fashion.
What I have previously expounded (chap. 1 sec. 5) I am again forced to repeat. God might have acted, in this respect, by himself, without any aid or instrument, or might even have done it by angels; but there are several reasons why he rather chooses to employ men. See on this subject August. de Doctrina Christiana, Lib. 1
--> First, in this way he declares his condescension towards us, employing men to perform the function of his ambassadors in the world, to be the interpreters of his secret will; in short, to represent his own person.
Absolutely. And that's why the Catholic Church retains priests, bishops, popes, and councils: all rejected by Calvin. We don't see any conflict: God uses men as His instruments.
Thus he shows by experience that it is not to no purpose he calls us his temples, since by man's mouth he gives responses to men as from a sanctuary. Secondly, it forms a most excellent and useful training to humility, when he accustoms us to obey his word though preached by men like ourselves, or, it may be, our inferiors in worth.
And to receive baptism and confirmation and the Holy Eucharist and forgiveness and absolution through the same men . . .
Did he himself speak from heaven, it were no wonder if his sacred oracles were received by all ears and minds reverently and without delay. For who would not dread his present power? who would not fall prostrate at the first view of his great majesty? who would not be overpowered by that immeasurable splendour?
That's why Catholics feel so strongly about the Holy Eucharist. Christ is literally present with us. Yet Calvin would (quite oddly and inexplicably) call such a notion "idolatry."
But when a feeble man, sprung from the dust, speaks in the name of God, we give the best proof of our piety and obedience, by listening with docility to his servant, though not in any respect our superior. Accordingly, he hides the treasure of his heavenly wisdom in frail earthen vessels (2 Cor. 4:7), that he may have a more certain proof of the estimation in which it is held by us. Moreover, nothing was fitter to cherish mutual charity than to bind men together by this tie, appointing one of them as a pastor to teach the others who are enjoined to be disciples, and receive the common doctrine from a single mouth.
Calvin retains ordination in some sense, but not in the full Catholic understanding of the term, and of priesthood.
For did every man suffice for himself, and stand in no need of another's aid (such is the pride of the human intellect), each would despise all others, and be in his turn despised. The Lord, therefore, has astricted his Church to what he foresaw would be the strongest bond of unity when he deposited the doctrine of eternal life and salvation with men, that by their hands he might communicate it to others. To this Paul had respect when he wrote to the Ephesians, "There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love" (Eph 4:4-16).
Amen! Can't disagree with Scripture! How Calvin will later apply it, however, is a different story.
2. This ministry of men most useful to the whole Church. Its advantages enumerated.
By these words he shows that the ministry of men, which God employs in governing the Church, is a principal bond by which believers are kept together in one body. He also intimates, that the Church cannot be kept safe, unless supported by those guards to which the Lord has been pleased to commit its safety. Christ "ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things" (Eph. 4:10). The mode of filling is this: By the ministers to whom he has committed this office, and given grace to discharge it, he dispenses and distributes his gifts to the Church, and thus exhibits himself as in a manner actually present by exerting the energy of his Spirit in this his institution, so as to prevent it from being vain or fruitless. In this way, the renewal of the saints is accomplished, and the body of Christ is edified; in this way we grow up in all things unto Him who is the Head, and unite with one another; in this way we are all brought into the unity of Christ, provided prophecy flourishes among us, provided we receive his apostles, and despise not the doctrine which is administered to us.
But how does ordination occur; on what grounds and basis? What special power or ability, if any, do such men possess, by God's design?
Whoever, therefore, studies to abolish this order and kind of government of which we speak, or disparages it as of minor importance, plots the devastation, or rather the ruin and destruction, of the Church.
That's right. Hence, Catholics argue that the disposal of priests, bishops, popes, and councils have caused grave damage to the unity of the Church.
For neither are the light and heat of the sun, nor meat and drink, so necessary to sustain and cherish the present life, as is the apostolical and pastoral office to preserve a Church in the earth.
Without apostolic succession, the historic meaning and nature of these offices are gutted.
3. The honourable terms in which the ministry is spoken of. Its necessity established by numerous examples.
Accordingly, I have observed above, that God has repeatedly commended its dignity by the titles which he has bestowed upon it, in order that we might hold it in the highest estimation, as among the most excellent of our blessings. He declares, that in raising up teachers, he confers a special benefit on men, when he bids his prophet exclaim, "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace" (Isa. 52:7); when he calls the apostles the light of the world and the salt of the earth (Mt. 5:13, 14). Nor could the office be more highly eulogised than when he said, "He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me" (Luke 10:16). But the most striking passage of all is that in the Second Epistle to the Corinthians, where Paul treats as it were professedly of this question. He contends, that there is nothing in the Church more noble and glorious than the ministry of the Gospel, seeing it is the administration of the Spirit of righteousness and eternal life. These and similar passages should have the effect of preventing that method of governing and maintaining the Church by ministers, a method which the Lord has ratified for ever, from seeming worthless in our eyes, and at length becoming obsolete by contempt. How very necessary it is, he has declared not only by words but also by examples. When he was pleased to shed the light of his truth in greater effulgence on Cornelius, he sent an angel from heaven to despatch Peter to him (Acts 10:3). When he was pleased to call Paul to the knowledge of himself, and ingraft him into the Church, he does not address him with his own voice, but sends him to a man from whom he may both obtain the doctrine of salvation and the sanctification of baptism (Acts 9:6-20). If it was not by mere accident that the angel, who is the interpreter of God, abstains from declaring the will of God, and orders a man to be called to declare it; that Christ, the only Master of believers, commits Paul to the teaching of a man, that Paul whom he had determined to carry into the third heaven, and honour with a wondrous revelation of things that could not be spoken (2 Cor. 12:2), who will presume to despise or disregard as superfluous that ministry, whose utility God has been pleased to attest by such evidence?
As a general statement of the dignity of ministry, this is fine. It is only what Calvin omits, in his ecclesiology, that causes the problem.
4. Second part of the chapter, treating of Ecclesiastical office-bearers in particular. Some of them, as Apostles, Prophets, and Evangelists, temporary. Others, as Pastors and Teachers, perpetual and indispensable.
Those who preside over the government of the Church, according to the institution of Christ, are named by Paul, first, Apostles; secondly, Prophets; thirdly, Evangelists; fourthly, Pastors; and, lastly, Teachers (Eph. 4:11). Of these, only the two last have an ordinary office in the Church. The Lord raised up the other three at the beginning of his kingdom, and still occasionally raises them up when the necessity of the times requires.
No more evangelists as an ordinary office? That would come as a strange suggestion to someone like Billy Graham.
The nature of the apostolic function is clear from the command, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15).
Exactly. Thus, some men can and should devote themselves to that task (evangelists, and to some extent, apologists).
No fixed limits are given them, but the whole world is assigned to be reduced under the obedience of Christ, that by spreading the Gospel as widely as they could, they might everywhere erect his kingdom. Accordingly, Paul, when he would approve his apostleship, does not say that he had acquired some one city for Christ, but had propagated the Gospel far and wide—had not built on another man's foundation, but planted churches where the name of his Lord was unheard. The apostles, therefore, were sent forth to bring back the world from its revolt to the true obedience of God, and everywhere establish his kingdom by the preaching of the Gospel; or, if you choose, they were like the first architects of the Church, to lay its foundations throughout the world.
But the Bible itself implies that bishops would be the successors to the apostles.
By Prophets, he means not all interpreters of the divine will, but those who excelled by special revelation; none such now exist, or they are less manifest. By Evangelists, I mean those who, while inferior in rank to the apostles, were next them in office, and even acted as their substitutes. Such were Luke, Timothy, Titus, and the like; perhaps, also, the seventy disciples whom our Saviour appointed in the second place to the apostles (Luke 10:1). According to this interpretation, which appears to me consonant both to the words and the meaning of Paul, those three functions were not instituted in the Church to be perpetual, but only to endure so long as churches were to be formed where none previously existed, or at least where churches were to be transferred from Moses to Christ; although I deny not, that afterward God occasionally raised up Apostles, or at least Evangelists, in their stead, as has been done in our time.
Okay; a little window is allowed for evangelists.
For such were needed to bring back the Church from the revolt of Antichrist. The office I nevertheless call extraordinary, because it has no place in churches duly constituted.
By its nature it is outer-directed: towards the nonbelievers and outsiders.
Next come Pastors and Teachers, with whom the Church never can dispense, and between whom, I think, there is this difference, that teachers preside not over discipline, or the administration of the sacraments, or admonitions, or exhortations, but the interpretation of Scripture only, in order that pure and sound doctrine may be maintained among believers. But all these are embraced in the pastoral office.
This is the radical innovation. Calvin relegates the pastor (presbyter in Greek) to the realm of expositors of Scripture rather than presiders over the mystery of the Mass and Holy Eucharist and other sacraments. That was simply not the historic understanding of the Catholic Church since the beginning. Again, Calvin does this (at least so far) without any particular argument. He baldly asserts it, and that is that! I think there is a lot more biblical and historical evidence to be brought to bear on the question:
The Biblical Evidence for Priests
The Visible, Hierarchical, Apostolic Church
Biblical Evidence For the Sacrament of Holy Orders (Ordination)
Bishops in the New Testament and the Early Church
Dialogue With a Presbyterian Pastor Regarding Ordination, Priests, and Vocations For Everyone
Biblical Evidence for Formal Forgiveness of Sins and Absolution (Confession)
5. Considering the office of Evangelist and Apostle as one, we have Pastors corresponding with Apostles, and Teachers with Prophets. Why the name of Apostles specially conferred on the twelve.We now understand what offices in the government of the Church were temporary, and what offices were instituted to be of perpetual duration. But if we class evangelists with apostles, we shall have two like offices in a manner corresponding to each other. For the same resemblance which our teachers have to the ancient prophets pastors have to the apostles. The prophetical office was more excellent in respect of the special gift of revelation which accompanied it, but the office of teachers was almost of the same nature, and had altogether the same end. In like manner, the twelve, whom the Lord chose to publish the new preaching of the Gospel to the world (Luke 6:13), excelled others in rank and dignity. For although, from the nature of the case, and etymology of the word, all ecclesiastical officers may be properly called apostles, because they are all sent by the Lord and are his messengers, yet as it was of great importance that a sure attestation should be given to the mission of those who delivered a new and extraordinary message, it was right that the twelve (to the number of whom Paul was afterwards added) should be distinguished from others by a peculiar title. The same name, indeed, is given by Paul to Andronicus and Junia, who, he says, were "of note among the apostles" (Rom. 16:7); but when he would speak properly, he confines the term to that primary order. And this is the common use of Scripture. Still pastors (except that each has the government of a particular church assigned to him) have the same function as apostles. The nature of this function let us now see still more clearly.
No particular disagreement . . .
6. As to the Apostles so also to Pastors the preaching of the Word and the administration of the sacraments has been committed. How the Word should be preached.
When our Lord sent forth the apostles, he gave them a commission (as has been lately said) to preach the Gospel, and baptise those who believed for the remission of sins.
What does "remission of sins" here mean, apart from baptismal regeneration? Did Calvin believe in that? Some Protestants think that he did.
He had previously commanded that they should distribute the sacred symbols of his body and blood after his example (Mt. 28:19; Luke 22:19).
Jesus made no reference to "symbol" on Luke 22:19. He said, rather, "This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me." "Symbol" is pure eisegesis, or reading into Scripture what is not there. Matthew 28:19 refers to baptism, which is not a "symbol" of Jesus' body, either.
Calvin didn't think much of Martin Luther's retention of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist:
. . . if Luther has so great a lust of victory, he will never be able to join along with us in a sincere agreement respecting the pure truth of God. For he has sinned against it not only from vainglory and abusive language, but also from ignorance and the grossest extravagance. For what absurdities he pawned upon us in the beginning, when he said the bread is the very body! And if now he imagines that the body of Christ is enveloped by the bread, I judge that he is chargeable with a very foul error. What can I say of the partisans of that cause? Do they not romance more wildly than Marcion respecting the body of Christ? . . .Luther had a quite different take on the eucharistic words in Jesus' Last Supper discourse:
(Letter to Martin Bucer, January 12, 1538; in John Dillenberger, editor, John Calvin: Selections From His Writings, Garden City, NY: Doubleday & Co. / Anchor Books, 1971, p. 47. This letter was translated by Marcus Robert Gilchrist)
[S]ince we are confronted by God's words, "This is my body" – distinct, clear, common, definite words, which certainly are no trope, either in Scripture or in any language – we must embrace them with faith . . . not as hairsplitting sophistry dictates but as God says them for us, we must repeat these words after him and hold to them.Luther was right in this respect (though he held that the bread and wine also remained after consecration and rejected the sacrifice of the mass). Calvin and Zwingli and the Anabaptists were the radical, heretical innovators with regard to eucharistic theology.
(Confession Concerning Christ's Supper, 1528; in Paul Althaus, The Theology of Martin Luther, translated by Robert C. Schultz, Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1966, 390)
Such is the sacred, inviolable, and perpetual law, enjoined on those who succeed to the place of the apostles,—they receive a commission to preach the Gospel and administer the sacraments.
Good, but note that Calvin (like Luther) ditched five of the seven sacraments.
Whence we infer that those who neglect both of these falsely pretend to the office of apostles. But what shall we say of pastors? Paul speaks not of himself only but of all pastors, when he says, "Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God" (I Cor. 4:1). Again, in another passage, he describes a bishop as one "holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and convince the gainsayers" (Tit. 1:9).
Where are the Calvinist bishops? Or does Calvin attempt to collapse the notion of bishop into merely the local elder or presbyter, as some Protestants today do?
From these and similar passages which everywhere occur, we may infer that the two principal parts of the office of pastors are to preach the Gospel and administer the sacraments. But the method of teaching consists not merely in public addresses, it extends also to private admonitions. Thus Paul takes the Ephesians to witness, "I kept back nothing that was profitable to you, but have showed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house, testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ." A little after he says, "Remember, that, for the space of three years, I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears" (Acts 20:20, 31). Our present purpose, however, is not to enumerate the separate qualities of a good pastor, but only to indicate what those profess who call themselves pastors—viz. that in presiding over the Church they have not an indolent dignity, but must train the people to true piety by the doctrine of Christ, administer the sacred mysteries, preserve and exercise right discipline. To those who are set as watchmen in the Church the Lord declares, "When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand" (Ezek. 3:18). What Paul says of himself is applicable to all pastors: "For though I preach the Gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me if I preach not the Gospel" (1 Cor. 4:16). In short, what the apostles did to the whole world, every pastor should do to the flock over which he is appointed.
No disagreements here, except about what Calvin intends to omit (not mentioned here), among these pastoral duties.

Card Room Green
No. 79
Card Room Green is named after the study-like rooms much favoured in the Victorian period and is unapologetic in its masculine feel. It really comes alive when contrasted with a warm neutral like Fawn or Stony Ground, as used in Victorian homes, but feels more powerful and contemporary when used with no contrasts at all. Dark Tones Undercoat.
Card Room Green 7 7
Beautiful green colour for our front door We used this colour for our front door and it has dried lighter than we were expecting but as a beautiful green in the sunlight. No hint of grey but that may be because of the streetlight and sunshine we've had recently. Easy to apply and needed 2 coats after a single undercoat on bare wood. 11 September 2014
Fantastic paint, fantastic colour Spent an age deliberating on which beautiful F&B colour to pick for door an garages. Chose this and have to say fantastic and received lots of positive comments.... Would highly recommend combined with primer undercoat for wood and metal! 05 September 2014
Card Room Green A wonderful rich colour, not at all drab which I have used in a narrow hallway with Ground Green . The overall effect is quite stunning, especially as my house is a modern new-build. 24 April 2014
Dark I only tried a sample stripe, just testing the color. It is dark. I think it would lovely as an accent color on a wall with many windows. Painting outside of and around the windows, that would look fantastic. In a sunny room. Or, someplace like a library. I wanted mine for the kitchen and bedroom, it was just too dark for what I wanted in those rooms. 09 February 2014
A Great Product A unique colour, no odour, dries quickly. What more do you want from a paint? Perfect! 09 September 2013
As always f&b paint gives stunning results Although expensive this paint really is well worth it . Goes on like a dream , fantastic finish and their colours are pure class 20 May 2013
Bringing the outside in! I love this colour but was a little scared that it would be too dark for my cottage. However, I used it in the boot room and it echos the colours of the garden. I think it looks stunning against the oak beams and particularly good at night when the lamps are lit! 29 October 2012

Just like my my first night of camping on this trip, I wasn't all that comfortable sleeping on my thin mattress. At least I was not cold this night. In exchange for a little discomfort I saved some money by not staying in a motel and also had the chance to meet some interesting people camping near me. First was a couple from PA. riding an SV1000 and Nighthawk 750. They were about half way through their trip and where going to head south to the BRP and then back to PA. Having 2 bikes and being able to share the load of camping gear between them they had a large tent and a real air mattress. It was nice having some fellow riders to talk to. I also met the couple camped right across from me. He husband had just retired from the Air Force reserve and they were on a road trip. They where in a Chevy Avalanche so they had plenty of room for camping stuff but there is no way they could enjoy the trip through the mountains as much as I did on my scooter.
Despite A less than perfect nights sleep, I got up reasonable rested and had a couple of granola bars for breakfast. Then I started my day's ride by having a blast riding 16 to Tazewell
Riding through Tazewell, I managed to miss a turn somewhere and ended up somewhat lost. Well, I wasn't totally lost, I just didn't know which way to go to get back on 16. I ended up on route 460 which is a major 4 lane highway. I stopped at a gas station and decided to get something to eat. It was a little late for breakfast but early for lunch so I compromised. A Pizza Pocket, sprite and some donuts hit the spot. Then a had to ask several people before I found someone who knew how to get to 16 north. Even those directions where a little of but the did eventually get me there.
16 heading north out of Tazewell was a nice, curvy scenic road that took my into West Virginia. In WVA, the mountains became more rugged and the road more twisty. I came down from a twisty pass to this:
Interesting name for a city. It is supposed to be the southernmost incorporated city in WVA. Based on what I saw I would consider it more of a town than a city but it was the larges city/town that I would see for a while. It was even large enough to have it's own Dollar General.
This looked like a rugged coal mining town but I still though it was scenic because of the way it was situated in this very rugged countryside.
This is definately not a tourist trap town but at least it did have a Hotel, the last one I would see for a while.
Some more pics of War.

Waterfalls of Glacier National Park
I finally made it to Glacier National Park last weekend. I've been dying to go ever since I moved to Montana three years ago. It's a 6 hour drive through lots of empty farm coutnry from Bozeman, but it was completely worth it.
I pulled into the park just after 1pm on Saturday. Predictably, all the campgrounds were full so I drove around the tiny gateway town of St. Mary, MT and found Johnson's of St Mary, a large private campground on a hill overlooking the town and St Mary Lake. I staked out my campsite, dropped off some gear, and drove back into the park.
St Mary Falls and Virginia Falls
My first objective was St. Mary Falls and Virginia Falls. I only had the afternoon to hike and I was solo. Not being particularly thrilled with venturing too far into the woods without a partner, I stuck close to the road. The trailhead for St. Mary Falls is 10 miles down the Going-to-the-Sun Road at the head of St Mary Lake. The trail quickly plunges through deep forest down to an intersection with the Continental Divide Trail. After barely a mile and a half of hiking, the trail crosses the river at St Mary Falls. It's a gorgeous, albeit crowded location. It's well worth leaving the trail and common viewpoints and scrambling around on the rocky banks of the river to get closer and different views of the falls.
The top of the falls are a little tight and choked off by the surrounding rock walls. In order to eliminate this restriction and to get a different composition, I crossed back over the bridge and walked underneath.
Past St Mary Falls, the trail continues uphill for less than a mile. The hike follows the river and there are numerous waterfalls along the edges of the trail that are not marked or frequented.
After a total of about 2.25 miles of hiking, the trail levels off at Virginia Falls. These falls are much higher and much more dramatic than St Mary Falls. There are multiples levels and steps to the falls, and tons of small pools and drop-offs. It's a fun area to explore around, although it was mobbed with kids and their families when I was there.
You can check out the GPS tracks for my hike to St Mary Falls and Virginia Falls here: 9.1.2012 St Mary Falls and Virginia Falls on Garmin Connect.
Triple Falls
The next day I woke up early and drove up the spectacular Going-to-the-Sun Road to Logan Pass. The parking lot fills quickly and I was trying to beat the crowds for my morning hike. I set off up the Hidden Lake Trail at around 9:30 AM. I topped out at the Hidden Lake Overlook and then turned around and started back down to the trail. My objective for the morning was Triple Falls, an awesome set of three creeks that all spill into one small slot in the bedrock. The location is a somewhat closely guarded secret and no one will quite tell you where it is. After about an hour and a half of tramping around in creeks and on snowfields, tensely looking over my shoulder for bears, I finally stumbled onto Triple Falls. The leading image in this post is one of the first shots I took. The water was absolutely frigid and the spray inside the slot was intense, so I didn't linger very long. I can't wait to get back though, as this would have been a killer location for a sunrise or a sunset.
I've got a ton more pictures from Glacier that I'm still working on processing and those should be posted within the next couple days (Posted Here!)as I find the time.

Try lubricating the lock with a penetrating oil like Liquid Wrench. Don't use WD-40 because it's no good in locks, it dries to a waxy substance which is good for rust prevention but it's not really a lubricant, and after a while, it'll gum up a lock. That's my personal painful experience talking...
If that's no good, you may need to replace the lock. Get a locksmith to re-key the lock so you can use the original key.

Small interfering RNA (siRNA), sometimes known as short interfering RNA or silencing RNA, is a class of 20-25 nucleotide-long double-stranded RNA molecules that play a variety of roles in biology. Most notably, siRNA is involved in the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway, where it interferes with the expression of a specific gene. In addition to their role in the RNAi pathway, siRNAs also act in RNAi-related pathways, e.g., as an antiviral mechanism or in shaping the chromatin structure of a genome; the complexity of these pathways is only now being elucidated.

Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for cartographers, geographers and GIS professionals. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I don't think feature services display labels. You need to use a map service instead or create labels yourself with graphics. This was the case with 10.0 I'm not sure if anything changes at 10.1.
If you need the capability of feature services just add an additional map service layer just with labels displayed.

Exchange Rate
key terms
Mouse-over a link for a quick definition or click to read more in-depth!
Exchange rate
There are actually two types of exchange rates that we need to talk about.
- Nominal exchange rate – often denoted as (e)
- The cost of one currency in terms of another, or the rate needed to exchange the two currencies
For example go to http://www.xe.com/ucc/. We want to look at the exchange rate from the perspective of a citizen of the United States, so select "United States Dollars – USD" in the "From this currency" box. Let's say we are interested in changing our dollars into euros – select "Euro – EUR" from the "To this currency" box.
As of June 12, 2008, 1 USD = 0.648 EUR. What this tells me is that if I were to take one of my dollars to a currency exchanger, I would get 0.648 euros in return. Note: Your result will be different, as the currency could have appreciated or depreciated.
This is written as e = 0.645 €/$ - you will get 0.645 Euros for every dollar!
If I were to take $100 to the exchanger, I would get 64.5 €.
Now that sounds like a pretty bad trade, but it might not be.
Look at the exchange rate between the dollar and the Hungarian Forint. On June 12th, 2008, $1 will buy 159.6 forint! With my $100 I could get 15,960 forint! You could be a millionaire with less than $10,000.
Should we take our dollars over to Hungary right now and live like a king? Maybe not; we need to know how much things cost in Hungary first, and that is why we need another definition
- Real Exchange Rate – often denoted as (ε)
- The nominal exchange rate adjusted for price differences in the two countries.
Let's say there is only one thing in the world that you would ever need to buy – let's call that thing a widget. You can eat it, wear it, or use it to build a house – if you need it the widget can do it.
So if a widget in the US costs $100 and a widget in Hungary costs 100 forint, then instead of taking my $100 and buying one widget in the US, I'll take my $100 and exchange them for forint – getting 15,960 forint. I then use that to by 159 widgets – yes life is better.
However, this will most likely not be the case. If I were to go over to Hungary I would probably find that the cost of a widget was 16,000 Ft. If I took my $100 and exchanged them for forint (getting 15,960 Ft.), I would not even be able to buy one widget – I'm not that rich after all!
Illustrated below is the nominal exchange rate for the dollar versus the euro and British pound. A fall in the exchange rate represents a depreciation of the dollar.
