July 30, 2014 – Christopher Ragan
The Canadian economy continues to face serious macroeconomic challenges, the most important of which is addressing the burden of a slow-growth recovery, according to a report from the C.D. Howe Institute. In "What Now? Addressing the Burden of Canada's Slow-Growth Recovery", McGill University economist Christopher Ragan calls for Canadian policy makers to accept the likelihood of a continued slow-growth recovery over the next few years and to address its associated burdens.

Since Antichrist will practice Black Magick Satanism, we
should expect to see a resurgence of this pagan system of religion.
Antichrist will receive his unbelievable power through precisely this
kind of Satanism.
For mature audiences. DVD was originally produced in 1989, but the
content is just as valid today as it was then.
Contains 6 updated hours of Rock-n-Roll video clips like the "Lesbian Wedding" of Britney Spears, Christini Aguilar, and Madonna! This full length video series contains 10 hours of eye-popping rare and some never before seen footage that will leave you picking your jaw off the ground, as you see hundreds of artists, most of whom were not covered in the abbreviated 4-hour version, being used by Satan to destroy many lives. Come behind the scenes with us as we expose the deceptive agendas of many of yesterday and todays secular artists, such as: Elvis, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, U2, Creed, Madonna, Britney Spears, DMX, Tupac, Tori Amos and many more.
Its time to remove the blinders - guard yourself and those you love from one of Satans most powerful tools!
This video takes you backstage, showing the true nature and face of Rock stars from the 1950's through today.

Ritual murders are committed during the
24 hours of Halloween day / night. Former Satanist, Bill Schnoebelen,
helps us comprehend the desperately wicked demonic celebration,
In this teaching, Bill shares compelling historical
and Biblical evidence about Halloween's origins and proves that this
day is a Biblically 'unclean thing' in which no Christian -- or their
child -- should participate (1 Cor 6:17).
Scriptures exhorting
believers to keep children away from all uncleanness -- especially
Halloween -- are discussed. This DVD is an excellent ministry tool
for educating those people who do not yet comprehend the Hellish
glamors of Halloween.
Dr. Bill Schnoebelen spent over 20 years
heavily participating in the occult, including 16 years as a witch
before coming to the Saving Grace of Jesus Christ in 1984. His book,
'Lucifer Dethroned' contains his full testimony. Bill has faithfully
spread the message of Messiah's Salvation and freedom from bondage,
cults, and unscriptural religious beliefs to thousands accross the
globe since 1986.
We encourage you to watch this video with your
entire family. Children need to know the wicked dangers of
"Witchcraft: Age of Innocence Is Over" will examine the
origins of
witchcraft and its evolution to the modern-day Wiccan Movement.
will explore the beliefs not only of those who practice a
sanitized white magick, but also those who delve into the black
of the avowed disciple of Lucifer. We will also see how the
has progressed from primarily evil witchcraft to a sanitized
acceptable to the masses, even though it is still as evil and
dangerous as it was in days of old
Does a witch conjure evil
spells with the aid of such apothecaries as eye of newt and dried
of bat mixed in a boiling cauldron under a full moon? Does a
invoke Satan or other evil spirits to do their bidding for them?
witches on a mission to replace Christianity with Devil Worship?
the modern witch truly worship Lucifer, or is he or she simply a
hugging disciple of Mother Nature? Are those who practice Wicca
white magick true witches, or are the true witches the
of black magick and Satan worshipers cast in the mold of Aleister
Crowley or even Anton LaVey?
Are Christians to run from
in fear, or should they make every effort to reach them for Jesus
Christ? Indeed, we show how a Christian can use this information
reach a practicing witch with the saving Gospel!

World leaders have commissioned a global investigation into the safety of genetically modified food. In a joint communiqué issued this week at their summit in Cologne, Germany, leaders of the G8 nations invited the Paris-based OECDwhich represents the world's industrialised nationsto prepare two studies on biotechnology. One will focus on whether genetically modified food is safe to eat; the other will examine how biotechnology is regulated in different countries. However, the investigation does not extend to the environmental safety of modified crops. The OECD will report back at next year's G8 meeting in Okinawa, Japan.

HOW TO: Rewrite URL / Implement URL Rewriting in ASP.NET
Reference articles:
Tip/Trick: Url Rewriting with ASP.NET
by Scott Guthrie - Examines four approaches: 1) Use Request.PathInfo Parameters Instead of QueryStrings; 2) Using an HttpModule to Perform URL Rewriting; 3) Using an HttpModule to Perform Extension-Less URL Rewriting with IIS7; 4) ISAPIRewrite to enable Extension-less URL Rewriting for IIS5 and IIS6; also discusses how to handle ASP.NET postbacks correctly with URL rewriting.
URL Rewriting
by Salman (CSharpFriends) - simple implementation of URL rewriting logic within the Application_BeginRequest() method of the Global.asax file.
Search Engine Friendly URLs using ASP.NET (C#.NET)
by Maziar Aflatoun (The UK Web Design Company) - similar to the above, but regular expression is used to match URLs.
Rewrite.NET - A URL Rewriting Engine for .NET
by Robert Chartier (15Seconds.com). Solution steps:
Create the HttpModule to process the web request and rewrite the URL
Add the handler in Web.config
Create a configuration section in Web.config to define URL mapping rules
Add extensibility by creating a rules engine interface
Write class or classes to implement rules engine interface
Add code to the HttpModule to dynamically load the desired rules from Web.config
URL Rewriting in ASP.NET
by Scott Mitchell (MSDN) - examines how to implement URL rewriting in a HTTP module; also explains how to handle postbacks.
URL Rewriting with ASP.NET
by Richard Birkby (CodeProject) - shows how legacy ASP sites can be upgraded to ASP.NET, while maintaining links from search engines. Solution steps:
Create the configuration section in Web.config for defining URL mapping rules
Write the configuration section handler class, incorporating the URL rewriting logic
Create a call to handler in Global.asax in Application_BeginRequest() method
Compile the code and install the rewriter assembly in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC)
Configure IIS to map non- .aspx files to the ASP.NET ISAPI extension

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
So am I the only one that does disagree?
What about Full duplex etc...?
I will give you an example I have several computers at home and some
with more than one network card. I donated a couple Kensington cards
to my wife's work and purchased a 10/100 switch for them. I thought hey
they are only cheap cards. My home network is a mix of 10MB cards and
100MB cards some with and some without full duplex support. All of the
systems I setup at my wife's work are 100MB nic's with full duplex
support. The short end of the story is that the network I setup for my
wife's work rocks and blows away my network at home.
So why is this a big deal? Well I have two systems with Ati all in
wonder pro cards in them and I am looking into building another box as a
setup personal video recorder. I would like to be able to stream video
to all of the other computers in my house. For this I am sure the
network card does matter.

Internal Sales
The Internal Sales compliance office facilitates the review of, and gives approval for, all internal sales to other departments. The office works with the units to ensure:
- consistent cost estimating,
- accumulating costs in order to have reliable cost estimates,
- improve cost control,
- enhance accountability,
- costs incurred for the same purpose in like circumstances are treated consistently,
- to accurately accumulate all allowable and allocable costs within an identified segregated set of accounts,
- to recognize subsidies to the operation,
- to provide a means to operating within federal guidelines, and
- to establish rates based on total costs.
University colleges and departments are encouraged to utilize academic expertise and institutional resources on an ongoing basis that are unique, convenient, or are not readily available from external resources to other internal customers.
Steps to obtain approval to conduct internal sales activity
Is your activity an internal sale? (step 1)
- Does it meet the following criteria?
- Provide a specific ongoing good or service to other units or projects, and recover the costs by charging the users on a "rate basis."
- Develop their rates to consistently and equitably recover the costs of the service.
- Rates are reviewed annually to operate on a breakeven basis.
- Customers are other university colleges or departments.
- Annual internal sales revenue greater than $25,000.
- Charging a federal grant of any dollar amount.
The following units would not be classified as internal sales activity:
- Parking or housing services, that primarily serve individuals and whose revenues are recorded as income to the University (these are auxiliary services).
- Provide a one-time distribution of an expense rather than an on-going activity.
- Annual internal sales less than $25,000 that do not charge federal grants. (These units should use cost allocations, cost sharing or transfers.)
- Obtaining Approval to Conduct Internal Sales Activity (step 2, 3)
- Establishing an Internal Sales Accounting Structure (step 6)
- Establishing Internal Sales Rates (step 4)
- Reviewing Internal Sales Activity Annually
- Establishing Internal Sales Capital Equipment Funds and Recording Depreciation (step 6)

Step 2 - Complete the Internal/External Sale Approval form and send to email@example.com for review. See Administrative Procedure: Obtaining Approval to Conduct Internal Sales Activity.
Step 3 - Complete the Internal/External Business Proposal Outline and sent to firstname.lastname@example.com for review. See Administrative Procedure: Obtaining Approval to Conduct Internal Sales Activity.
Step 4 - Complete a Rate Development Template and sent to firstname.lastname@example.com for review. See Administrative Procedure: Establishing Internal Sales Rates.

Most Common Audit Findings and Recommendations
- Failing to base rates on actual required resources and\or usage.
- Failing to charge all internal customers the same rate.
- Rate calculations and/or actual costs include unallowable costs.
- Transfers out (other than depreciation) recorded without adequate documentation.
- Conducting activity with excessive operating margins creating a surplus or deficit.
- Unsupported combination of external sales with internal sales for cost or revenue.
Other questions frequently asked

Decisions are being made right now. The question is: Are you making them for yourself, or are you letting others make them for you?
by Jonathan Hilton Day 55
The initial reaction that anyone would have for this question is that, of course they are making the decisions for themselves and are therefore in control of their own destiny and actions.
That was my initial reaction, but as I considered it more I guess you have to break it down into the type of decisions that are being made.
Then you can collect a clearer answer because all decisions are not equal.
Decisions We Make
In the course of every day we have the need to make thousands of decisions, some are big and we focus on them a lot, some are small and we pay no attention to them at all.
I think the biggest decisions we make are about your reaction to the events of your life. Someone cuts you off while you are driving, do you experience road rage, and carry an anger towards them even though there is no way you could know their intent, or do you face that situation with understanding.
This is a choice, similar to many choices we make every day about the way we feel and the way we look at the world. In this case are you making the choice how to feel, or are you letting a stranger in a car, who can't drive, make that decision for you?
You make many of these decisions every day, making decisions about dealing with people from all walks of life. There are people who do a lot of stupid things, but don't let them control how you live your life.
The Small stuff
There are tons of little decisions that you never even give a second thought to, like: What to wear today. Coffee at Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks. Stop or go, stand or sit, walk or run, sit or stand, talk or be silent.
These happen continuously, and for these sometimes it is left up to others, and I don't have a need to control everything so many of the coffee decisions in life I will leave to whoever I am with, because I really don't care and if going to Starbucks makes someone else happy then it makes me happy too.
These decisions are not going to determine much in the scope of your life, and should be managed as expeditiously as possible; otherwise you will never get anything done.
The Big Decisions We Make Every Day
There are many decisions that we make every day which make up a bigger part of our lives
and go a long way in determining our view about the world and how we fit into it.
There are many situations every day that contribute to this feeling and I think these are the ones we make for ourselves whether we realize it or not.
The interactions you choose to have with other people are in this category. If a person makes a choice to do something that is annoying, perplexing, confusing or antagonizing to you, the decision of how you respond internally is completely yours.
You decide to respond with anger, frustration, hate, or you choose to respond with understanding, tenderness, assistance, that decision is always up to you.
I think that the decisions we make about people every day are the most important decisions because they define us at our core.
You can choose in many cases what face the world will see and in many cases judge you by, but when these decisions are observed there is no mask that can hide your intent.
I can't tell you that your decisions in this area are right or wrong for you, but there is no debating that the decisions you make will define you, and that is a fact.
So to me I know that there are many decisions that I don't make, and don't care to make, but when it comes to the big decisions in life, I will make them all, because I will not be defined by the thoughts or actions of somebody else, I have to live with who I am, and that is far too valuable a proposition to leave to the decisions of others.

From Forbes
As more people aspire to become entrepreneurs, it is important to dispel many of the misperceptions about this species. Here are six big ones that even some entrepreneurs believe:
1. They are the smartest and most high achieving people in the room: They certainly weren't growing up. It is highly unlikely they were the valedictorians of their classes in college. As one successful entrepreneur recently said to me, "If I had a 4.0 at graduation, it stood for the number of parties I went to the night before rather than my GPA." Entrepreneurs don't typically try to please other people; rather, they find something that deeply fascinates them and then hyper-focus on that particular opportunity. Hence, the high dropout rates. Case study: Steve Jobs

In the News July 2010:
Oil Spill
Déjà vu?
A few days into the integrity test of the cap, and a leakage has already been spotted. When we asked BP whether this seeping oil is a serious setback, officials assured us that it's just passing gas.
Spy vs. Spy
The Obama Administration is scared of an upcoming newspaper exposé about its heavy spending on external intelligence contractors. The administration clearly doesn't want the public to know that there's no intelligence in Washington.
An Apple a Day Keeps Steve Jobs Away
In response to the antenna issues, Steve Jobs is offering free phone cases, forcing iPhone 4 owners to come up with new excuses for not picking up the phone when their mothers call.
Bill on Education
Bill Gates has recently announced that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will spend $3 billion on improving America's public schools. The foundation's first plan of action: installing an iMac in every classroom.
Catch Me if You Can
The Barefoot Bandit, accused of numerous shoeless burglaries, is finally being brought to justice. Though he now has quite a dirty rap sheet, his shoe still has a clean soul.
Exposed: Fowl Play by the News
TV News stations have been proclaiming that the 'chicken-and-egg mystery has finally been cracked,' based on a scientific study that found that a certain protein in the chicken's ovaries serves an important role in the formation of the egg. Apparently they forgot about the kindergartener's study that found that the egg serves an important role in the formation of the chicken.
We've Got the Power
How is Obama getting support for his nuclear spending increase, despite his promises of nuclear reduction? By pronouncing 'nuclear' correctly.
Real Estate, Not-so-real Transaction
Mr. Brent Arthur Wilson of Montana has been convicted of stealing a house, though he insists he bought it from the landLORD, "Yahweh the creator." Obviously, the jury didn't believe Wilson. With all this atheism in the neighborhood, no wonder G-d was so quick to sell His house.
Grand Ol' Party Time!
Obama says the "GOP is obstructing progress." He must be blaming the Republicans for his weekend getaway to Maine.
It's Just Shrinkage
The thermosphere is shrinking quickly, and NASA researchers don't have an explanation. Don't sweat it, NASA; it's not like anyone was going to understand your explanation anyway.
A Woman's World
A controversial article in the Atlantic, "The End of Men," points out that women are now dominating the workforce and make up the majority of business managers. While most men are being careful not to appear too critical of this gender swap, the economy certainly isn't.
What the Hell? I Just Dropped the H-bomb
The Obama administration recently announced a spending increase on nuclear warfare. With all of this global warming, maybe another cold war is just what we need.
Poor Richard
Former Vice President Dick Cheney recently had an LVAD (left ventricular assist device) implanted in his heart. With so many heart problems, it's questionable whether he'll ever again be able to engage in rigorous activities such as skiing or water-boarding.
Criminal Minds in HD!
According to reports, Guantanamo Bay detainees love watching nature shows on their HDTVs. Nature shows, I bet, like Discovery Channel's original series Destroyed in Seconds.
BIG Surpise?
FoxNews.com ran the headline, "Woman With World's Largest Breasts Fighting for Her Life." Feminists are crying 'sexist,' pointing out that FoxNews wouldn't have featured the story if the woman's breasts were just average size.

A new World Health Organization (WHO) survey reveals that over five percent of the world's population - 360 million people - are hearing impaired.
The results of a study of 76 countries in regions most affected by hearing loss - Asia Pacific, South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa - were released to coincide with March 3 International Ear Care Day.
The UN agency reports that about half of all cases of hearing loss can be easily treated or prevented. However, only 32 of these countries have programs to prevent and treat hearing loss and most countries studied do not have the capacity to prevent and care for the problem.
The most common cause of hearing loss is ear infections, says Shelly Chadha, who heads WHO's program for prevention of deafness and hearing loss.
"The leading cause of hearing loss across the world - based on what we know of hearing loss, is ear infections," she says.
Some losses appear at birth. "There is also the age-related hearing loss, which is a very important cause, and it is estimated that nearly a third of the population who are above 65 years of age live with hearing loss," said Chadha. Another cause of hearing loss is unorthodox medications.
Developing countries need strategies that address prevention of hearing loss through simple measures, she says. Examples are immunization, improved maternal and child healthcare, reduction of noise, and good ear-care habits to prevent infection.
To help address these needs, WHO is providing technical support and guidance to member states so each country can develop their plans for prevention, early identification of children who have hearing loss, and suitable services.
Some of those services include diagnosis of ear infections and possible application of antibiotics or surgery to prevent further loss. Access to hearing aids is also recommended.
Chadha emphasized that investing in hearing health from the very early stages of life, is important in maintaining the health of society as a whole.

1986 Ford Mustang LX - Top Notch
Creations n' Chrome's Top Notch Project shifts the Coyote swap to the next gear
The golden age of the Fox Rod may have finally arrived. Of late, more and more high-end Fox projects have hit the streets. Spurred on by nostalgia, availability, and the ease of adding modern engines, the Fox Mustang is ready for its real second coming.
This new wave of respect and highly modified cars has slowly built for the last eight years or so, but when noted car builder and multiple SEMA award winner Creations n' Chrome switched gears from building up the latest Mustangs for the Vegas flash fest and decided to focus its talents on the beloved Fox Mustang, in this case the 1986 Ford Mustang LX you see here. It was time for everyone to take note—the Fox Mustang is here to stay.
"The Fox Mustang will forever be relevant in today's track and street markets. It is an affordable car and a great starting point for any enthusiast's project," said Chris Matye, marketing director at Creations n' Chrome. "It has a well-supported aftermarket with parts ranging from appearance modifications; strong and diverse powertrain options; and extremely developed chassis and suspension support. And it appeals to enthusiasts in many forms of motorsports."
It's hard to argue with that kind of logic, as the Fox is the impetus for the creation of the magazine you hold in your hands. Of course, it's still exciting to hear a company that had become closely associated with the latest Mustangs paying homage to the Fox on the automotive aftermarket's biggest stage.
"...SEMA 2012 was the perfect time to debut a new take on our favorite generation of Mustang, the '79-'93 Fox..." Chris said. "We simply wanted a versatile vehicle that excelled on any road, track, or driving environment we threw at it. Mustangs, in particular, Foxes had become way too cookie-cutter in our opinion."
Hence the idea for the company's Top Notch project was born. Of course, if you have followed C n' C's various modern Mustang projects, including the Boy Racer, which graced our July '12 cover, you know that the company's name is quite indicative of its work. It specializes in applying sprayable chrome finishes. The results are jaw-dropping, and ideal for the flash mob that is the SEMA show. They look pretty great on magazine covers too.
"This is far from the first Fox we have built. In fact, Gary's first car was an '84 SVO. When he was only 17 years old, he gave it a complete custom paint job. He has since owned another SVO, three 5.0-liter Foxes, an SN-95, and two S197s," Chris explained. "Every employee at C n' C, including Gary's wife, Kristin, has owned a Fox at some point. Although our Modern Mustang projects have garnered the most attention as of late, like many 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords readers, we wouldn't be where we are without the Fox."
It's one thing to start with a brand-new Mustang from Ford and prep it for one of these glossy finishes. It's a whole different game when you are starting with a 27-year-old Mustang. With the coupe relieved of all its removable panels the C n' C team acid-dipped the body to create a blank canvas for its paintwork. That said painting was the last step before Top Notch's public debut at SEMA. It was painted just two days before the show.
"The Spectra Chrome preparation process is the same for old or new metal. Besides the roof and A and C pillars, there isn't much original sheetmetal left on the car. We actually found painting the motorsports-oriented carbon-fiber panels more of a challenge than the steel," Chris explained.
Well before it could get to that point, the '86 coupe underwent a complete transformation. Not only did it become an aero-nose Fox, but it gained full-length subframes and an aluminum floor. All of its seams were welded and reinforced. Moreover, its suspension was completely revamped with a JME Short Long Arm (SLA) suspension in front and a custom, S197-style three-link made up of Hotchkis parts in back.

What do you think about commercializing holidays? I, for one, welcome the gold! Love is in the Air has started, and so has my Lovely Charm farming.
For those who don't know, Love is in the Air is based around the time of year where you have to either have a partner or feel lonely. Valentine's Day.With it comes new ways to make gold, that everyone should cash in on.
Loving Birds
The Swift Lovebird, available for 270 Love Tokens are always a great seller year round. Usually selling for around 10-20k, these are the best use of the tokens. If you can, find them cheap on the AH during the holiday and unload them year round.
Little Critters
There are two pets available during the holiday. Peddlefeet usually doesn't sell well, as he is avaible from the Love Tokens. Stock up on a few during the holiday though, and sell them for a nice flip.
The Toxic Wasteling is a rare drop from the holiday bosses. To queue up for this, just go into the Dungeon menu! Easy! They sell for a couple thousand gold each normally. You will probably come across a few if you are farming for the Love Rocket mount!
Another place is Throne of Tides, on the little Elementals before the final boss. Seeing as I hate Vash'jir though, I decided on this one.
Having a portable Mailbox and vendor would certainly be helpful in your farming!

Throne of tides has a much higher drop rate for the charms, close to 1k per hourReplyDeleteReplies
Definitely a better spot. I just hate Vash'jir, so refuse to go there. Thanks for reading!Delete
Throne of Tides fixed? Fuck of your kdding. That spot has been like that for three years, why would they hotfix now?ReplyDelete
Be gutted if that's the case, was by far the best farming spot for them

Pot, meet kettle: a response to Steve Jobs' letter on Flash
Watching two proprietary software companies deeply opposed to computer user freedom lob accusations back and forth about who is more opposed to freedom has been surreal, to say the least. But what's been crystal clear is that the freedom these companies are arguing about is their own, not that of their users. And what they are calling freedom isn't freedom at all -- it is the ability to control those users. Adobe is mad at Apple for not letting Adobe control iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch users via Flash, and Apple is mad at Adobe for suggesting that Apple is arbitrarily abusing its control over Application Store users.

When the legislative session started in January, the six delegates from different cliques in Maryland's clubby General Assembly had this in common: None would have called himself or herself a supporter of Gov. Martin O'Malley's bill to legalize same-sex marriage.

Some never let on that they were wavering. Those who did faced the same formidable political and social forces that managed to scuttle the measure last year, including a strong and organized lobby from some of the state's most influential church leaders. One lawmaker, a Catholic, received a phone call from Rome from Cardinal-designate Edwin F. O'Brien, who was elevated to that rank Saturday. All confronted the threat of being unseated by opponents of gay marriage when the delegates face re-election campaigns in 2014.
But this time the faith-driven opposition didn't carry the day. Instead, lawmakers say, they were swayed by the emotional stories of gay couples. Some delegates wanted to be assured that churches would never be forced by the state to preform same-sex marriages. Several were convinced that voters would get the final say. Their decisions pushed the vote count past the 71 needed to pass the measure.
Like many legislators, Dels. A. Wade Kach, Robert A. Costa, Tiffany T. Alston, Pamela G. Beidle, John A. Olszewski Jr. and John L. Bohanan Jr. struggled with the decision. They were among the last to declare support for the bill; three flipped their votes last week.
Jubilant supporters are looking to the next step — a vote in the Maryland Senate, which approved a similar measure last year and is likely to do so again. If the bill passes, it is expected to be petitioned to referendum and go before the voters in November. Opinion polls show they are evenly split on the issue.
Seven states — Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York and Washington — along with the District of Columbia, have approved gay nuptials. Same-sex marriage measures could be on the November ballot in Maine and Washington state.
Hours before Maryland's House approved the bill, a same-sex marriage bill was vetoed in New Jersey by Republican Gov. Chris Christie, an O'Malley rival.
But Friday, the national spotlight was focused on Maryland's 141-member House, where O'Malley aides said they were not sure they had the votes until the final count was read aloud. For nearly a year, a tight group of supporters had fanned out to talk with any and every delegate they thought they could move.
"It was a grind until the end," said Joseph Bryce, O'Malley's top legislative aide, who in July was tasked with pulling the votes together. In the final weeks, he had said they were within "striking distance," but they went into the day of the vote with no margin for error.
Even as the measure went to a final House vote, he was not sure. Delegates were lobbying on the floor until the final moments.
The state's black churches played a key role in the opposition. And as votes slipped away last week, they suggested that the defections were more about politics than conscience.
"There is no question there were unscrupulous practices," said the Rev. Derek McCoy, executive director of the Maryland Marriage Alliance. "Oh, absolutely. Deals were being cut for certain amendments and certain concessions."
Lawmakers interviewed for this article denied that they were given anything for their votes. They said they took time to think about personal stories from gay and lesbian couples they met during hearings or in private meetings. Others wanted changes to the bill and worked with O'Malley's aides to find the right balance.
One — Alston — still opposes same-sex marriages and pledged to help organize a referendum against the measure. But she said she wants the state to move past the issue.
Another, Bohanan, did not change his view until the evening before the vote.
In the end, they seemed relieved.
"I'm glad this is over," said Kach, as he walked out of the State House. One of two Republican lawmakers to change his vote from last year, no one came under more pressure. When the Baltimore County delegate announced his position Thursday, he received threats. State troopers followed him around the State House for the day.

The bards of Gorsedh Kernow to honour Helston mum Ingrid Loyau-Kennett
Posted: August 28, 2013|
HELSTON heroine Ingrid Loyau-Kennett is to be presented with another honour - this time by the bards of Gorsedh Kernow.
The mum made international headlines when she faced the alleged killers of Drummer Lee Rigby in the streets of Woolwich back in May.
Ms Loyau-Kennett, who is half French, was widely praised and was recently awarded a bravery medal by the French Government.
Last week, the West Briton revealed that she has also been asked to take part in two national awards ceremonies, that each recognise inspirational women in the UK.

Now, Ms Loyau-Kennett will be invited into the circle of robed Cornish bards at their Open Gorsedh ceremony in Penryn next Saturday, September 7. She will be handed a certificate of 'exceptional endeavour' in representing Cornwall.
Ms Loyau-Kennett, who moved to the county in 2006 and lives in Bulwark Road, said she was stunned at receiving another honour.
She has always maintained that she acted instinctively in rushing to the aid of Drummer Rigby, as he lay bleeding in the street after being attacked.
It was then that she was challenged by his two alleged killers.
She tried to reason with the men, before the police arrived, and was praised for "standing up to terrorism" by David Cameron. the men are awaiting trial.
Ms Loyau-Kennett said: "I think you should stand up for your rights and stand up for the way you think things should be.
"May be that is the message people want to send by nominating me for these awards."
She said she was proud to be given recognition by Cornwall for her actions.
Next month, she has been invited to join 400 inspirational women for the Women of the Year Lunch and Awards Ceremony in London.
Another ceremony, the Vitalise Women of the Year Awards Luncheon and Awards Ceremony, has also nominated her for a bravery award. The winners will also be announced next month.

Israel's city of Haifa has held an unusual beauty pageant. The first ever Miss Holocaust Survivor has been held on June 28 with 300 participants vying for the title.
Many of the contest's participants originated from Romania and Poland were lucky to avoid camps. Most of them lost their families. Some wrote books to record the horrors they faced.
Organizers of the competition explained the event was thought of as a celebration of life. The jury judged the participants not just by their appearance but also by the personal stories they had to tell.
"They feel good together. They are having a great time, they laugh in their dressing rooms," one of the organizers said.
The finals saw 14 ladies between 73 and 89 years of age.
Hava Hershkovitz, 78 won the competition, Associated Press reports. In 1941 she was sent from Romania to a Soviet concentration camp, where she spent three years.
Apart from supporters of the idea, quite a lot of people criticized the contest.
Among them was the leader of Israels's Colette Avital group of Holocaust survivors.
In their opinion women who have gone through so many physical and moral horrors and survived the most difficult times for Jews in the modern history shouldn't be judged by appearance.
The jury included four members, three former beauty queens and a psychotherapist, who is engaged in work with Holocaust survivors.
The competition came as a part of an annual culture evening in support of Holocaust survivors.
Around 270,000 Holocaust survivors live in Israel.

Raising the Roof ŌĆō Part 2
Thanks to the labour of volunteers, the promise of grant money from Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness, Physical Activity, Sport and Recreation, and the organization of additional fundraising by members, the roofing of the Middleton Curling Club has begun.
At the semi-annual meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 14, the grant was announced, which meant work could commence. By Thursday afternoon the strapping had been delivered and a team was up on the roof and beginning the job. One of the main advantages of a steel roof (other than the previously reported fact that the racoons cannot chew through it) is that the shingled roof does not have to come off. This means that rain is not going to be a problem while the work goes on, and it is not going to interrupt curling in any way.
The club is lucky that maintenance coordinator Ian Reesor has experience installing steel roofs so that most of the work can be done by club members. This is the second big job the club has had to finance in two years, the first being the overhaul and upgrade of the aging ice plant. The club has ongoing fundraising with raffles, bonspiels, and the Big Breakfasts, but at WednesdayŌĆÖs meeting it was agreed that an additional source of revenue was going to be required so that club coffers are not emptied by the latest improvements.
Bob Clattenburg and Dave Acker, who have run successful drives for speciality projects in the past, have offered to come up with a proposal to cover this one-time expense (at least it should be; with a 40-year life span, the steel roof should outlast many of us).
With the work progressing the curling is going on undisturbed. The club has a busy schedule Monday through Thursday with club curlers, and is also booked for social and curling events by outside groups during the weekends. Seasonal parties have begun and with the bar area overlooking the curling surface, and the dining room with fully equipped kitchen, it is a cosy and attractive place to have an event, whether you are curling or not.
The club also runs frequent Big Breakfasts, always well-attended by the local community, with the next one being on Saturday, Dec. 8, the day of the clubŌĆÖs day- long Christmas Fete. This annual fair combines a sparkly ticket auction of beautiful seasonal items, with the breakfast, bake sale, and curling in addition. Even if you donŌĆÖt curl, you can come for the food and the auction and stay for the show. Watch this space: www.middletoncurlingclub.com

"A tool to help the gay community find

"It has something for everyone. From the traveler who's new to a city to the socialite who wants a better way to coordinate with his circle. "
"Gay people rely on technology to meet and interact in the real world, but everything out there seemed sub-par. I thought it was time for someone to build world class technology that connects the gay community."
"I wanted to build something that would help people have more meaningful connections in the physical world, something that would strengthen the community. And I wanted to find people to go hiking with me :)"
"Moving to a new city makes it pretty tough to navigate the 'scene,' especially if it's constantly changing. So creating a solution that made it easier to find quality friends to hang out with was personally important."
"I wanted to create something that helps gay people find community in a more integrated society."
"So much gay data! There's a lot of information that's specific to gays, and it's really cool put together our collective intelligence to figure things out. Like even if there isn't specifically a gay bar somewhere, what's the cafe everyone likes?"

Course Catalog: Academic Regulations
First-Year Program
The responsibility for knowing and meeting the applicable degree requirements, as well as the academic regulations of the College, rests with each student. If there are any questions regarding these regulations, the student should raise them with his/her advisor or dean.
Since the College requires that students be exposed early to diverse areas of knowledge and ways of thinking which may be new to them and which may radically change their ideas about eventual specialization, the faculty strongly recommends that first-year students take no more than one course in any department in either semester of the first year. For the same reasons, sophomores are not generally permitted to take more than two courses simultaneously in any one department. The Committee on Student Standing and Programs exercises general supervision over unusual combinations of courses.
Course Load and Credit
Students normally register for four course credits per semester, but since there are exceptions, students may arrange their programs with some flexibility. With consent of their advisors, students may enroll or pre-enroll for five credits in a given semester, or more than five credits with the approval of their dean. Students may also register for as few as two credits, provided they are making normal progress toward completion of the 32 course credits in four years required for graduation. Students can meet the latter condition either by having accumulated extra credits or by evidencing, to the Committee on Student Standing and Programs, an ability to make up a deficit in the future.
If a student wishes to carry fewer than four credits in a semester and does not have sufficient extra credits by the end of that semester to be on schedule for the four-year graduation limit, he or she must seek approval of his or her dean, who acts for the committee in such matters. A student dissatisfied with the dean's decision may have the case reviewed by the full committee. Students permitted a credit overload or an underload during any given semester must pay full tuition, regardless of the number of credits they take.
Students are expected to achieve the following number of course credits in order to make satisfactory progress toward the degree and advance to the next grade level:
- end of first year: 8.0 course credits;
- end of sophomore year: 16.0 course credits;
- end of junior year: 24.0 course credits, full senior standing;
- end of senior year: 32.0 course credits and fulfillment of all other requirements for the degree.
Should a student fail to achieve any of the above, he/she will not be advanced to the next grade level but will, instead be referred to the Committee on Student Standing and Programs, for action regarding the student's continuing status at the College.
No Numerical Grade Option (Pass/Fail)
A student carrying four full course credits may elect one course credit for which no numerical grade (NNG) will be recorded on the transcript, unless the student fails the course. The grade entered on the record for the NNG course will be "P," if passed, "0.0," if failed, and "W," if withdrawn. Students may extend the option to take an NNG grade to any courses in excess of the normal load of four course credits, provided they are not behind schedule in total earned credits at that time. Therefore, those on schedule who choose to carry five credits in a given semester may elect the NNG option for two course credits.
The purpose of NNG is to encourage experimenting when the student fears that, despite conscientious work, the grade may be low. If a student desires to take a course NNG, he or she must inform the registrar in writing, on a form obtainable from the registrar, by the end of the third week of classes for quarter courses and by the end of the sixth week of classes for full-semester courses, of his/her intention to do so. Furthermore, the student's advisor must sign this form indicating approval. When the instructor of the desired course is the student's advisor, the student must obtain approval from his/her dean . Students further have the option to change the NNG designation to a numerical grade upon application to the registrar no later than the end of the first week of classes of the following term. Even if the numerical grade is recorded, the course will still count toward the four NNG course-credit limit allowed of each student during his/her Haverford career. Finally, even if students decide to uncover the NNG after seeing the course grade, the course will not fulfill any degree requirement, except cumulative credits.
There are certain courses that students may not take NNG. Among these are courses approved to fulfill the freshman writing requirement, the quantitative requirement, the distribution requirements and the foreign language requirement.
The administration does not inform the instructor of the student's election of the NNG option, since that status should in no way affect the student's responsibility in the course. The student and his/her advisor will receive an official grade report showing the actual numerical grade in the course. At the time of choice of a major in the sophomore year, the major advisor and the student may jointly authorize the changing of the NNG designation to a numerical grade in courses that become part of the student's major program. Additional limitations upon the NNG option include:
- No courses may be taken NNG that fulfill any requirement in a student's major, minor, or concentration
- During the junior and senior years, courses taken NNG must be outside the division of the student's major department, except that, with the permission of the major advisor, a student may take such a course in the division of the major provided it is Not offered to meet major requirements
- All Haverford students are limited to four NNG course credits in their time at the College. Courses in which the instructor decides to use the NNG option for all students are not included in this limit
- All NNG regulations in effect for courses taken at Haverford apply equally to courses taken at Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore and the University of Pennsylvania
- Haverford students may take one course credit NNG or one course credit CR/NO CR each semester, but not both, unless on schedule in earned credits and enrolled in five course credits
- No student may take two courses CR/NO CR in any one semester
- g. Courses taken on Haverford's approved international academic program may not be taken NNG.
Independent Study Courses
Many departments offer independent study courses to encourage independent work by qualified students. These courses provide opportunities to investigate topics not covered in formal courses, do extensive reading on a subject, do fieldwork or engage in library research. Students wishing to undertake independent study must secure permission for the project from their advisor and from a faculty member willing to supervise it prior to registering for the course. Members of the faculty are under no obligation to supervise independent study courses. The College will not award credit for such courses done without faculty supervision. Course requirements are determined jointly by the instructor and the student. The instructor may submit to the registrar written evaluation of the student's work in place of a numerical grade.
Students may register for only one credit of independent study per term. These courses are normally of half-credit value, unless specified for a full credit by the instructor. To undertake more than one credit of such work, students must secure permission, in advance, from the Committee on Student Standing and Programs.
Students may not undertake independent study work in subjects being taught in regular courses. Those wishing to explore more thoroughly a subject covered in an existing course are urged not to undertake an independent study course, but rather to consider the course intensification option described below.

How Not to Take Photos of a Thai Temple
Posted By Michael Coyne On March 12, 2007 @ 5:26 am In Art of Photography | No Comments
I was sitting on the floor of a Hong Kong tram looking at an image in the monitor of my camera. "Excuse me sir," said a passenger. "If you push the window down and lift the camera a little higher you won't get all the flare that you're getting on your photographs."
He had been watching me for 15 minutes as I took pictures through the window of passing trams. He then got up from his seat, pushed down the window and showed me where I needed to stand so I would be able to take photographs without flare.
I didn't have the heart to tell him that I was illustrating an article about how to take photographs through windows of a moving vehicle. This includes showing how not to take such photos which, of course, was what I was doing at that point in time.
I am putting material together for a second edition of my book Travel Photography — How to Photograph People [2] by Lonely Planet. Recently I was at a temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand and I watched a group of tourists take pictures of each other to record their travels. Instead of posing their wives in front of a beautiful scene of a temple, the men stood with their backs to the temple and photographed their subjects against some bushes which could have been taken anywhere in the world.
I once flew on a helicopter across the outback of Australia. As we were lifting off from the tarmac the tourists sharing the flight with me frantically took pictures of their parked bus. And for the rest of the journey across some of the most stunning views of that continent they didn't take a photograph. I often wonder what kind of conversations they had with the family back home while showing pictures of their holidays.

As far as I know, the cited reason behind the ratings was to keep raiders from losing in the Arenas and still getting gear. The weapons in season 3 are terrific, even compared to the mid-endgame raiding gear, and so raiders were playing just their 10 games every week, saving up Arena points, and grabbing the hot weapons. Blizzard didn't want that happening, so they put the requirement on the weapons-- you have to be good to wield those now.
But the shoulders I don't quite understand. I've been told that the shoulders are the most obvious piece of "leet" armor, and that Blizzard, as Wreck says, really wants seeing those shoulders on someone to be a sign that they're really good in the Arenas. But shoulders? As a few players have said, give them a title or something if you want them to be recognized. There's good reason for putting the weapons behind a rating, but if you're going to put shoulders back there too, you might as well require the rating for all the pieces, or leave the armor out of it completely.

Twin Tracks by James Burke, Simon & Schuster, $24, ISBN 0743226194
TWIN TRACKS is a book that you will either throw at the wall in exasperation or find riveting. The formula on which each section's two different narratives are based is to start with an event or development and then follow connections to other events and developments and meetings of individuals until they converge in recent time, mostly to our benefit. For instance, two narratives begin with Nelson's navy and the battle of Trafalgar and end with the invention of the laser.
The plan for reading is to start with track 1 on the left-hand page, reach the end and then turn back to track 2 on the right. It must have seemed a good idea at the time but all that turning back strains the pleasure of normal reading. In any case, the tales are ...

Interview with Professor of Economics & Law, Columbia University
The debate between two eminent Indian economists, Jagdish Bhagwati and Amartya Sen, has thrown up lively discussions as well as acerbic jibes. It has also taken political tones, with sharp reactions from various parties. Jagdish Bhagwati, professor of economics and law at Columbia University, tells Nayanima Basu he is not anti-redistribution, adding the crucial issue is where the money would come from. If this issue isn't tackled, the poor would only be harmed, he says. Edited excerpts:
Critics say your debate with Sen is polarising an issue that shouldn't be polarised. The debate, they say, is based on outdated notions of growth. Growth could be investment in capital, as well as investment in human resources.
Since when did investment mean it had to be in physical capital? Also, there are some instances in which we can eat our cake and have it, too. Thus, you can spend money on education as consumption, while it also serves as investment. But again, we must not overdo this.
A member of Parliament (MP) had once said, "Are we going to eat GDP?" You emphasise growth. What about redistribution?
The MP sounds so idiotic that maybe he should be fed on a GDP diet! If he cared to understand the arguments at hand, he would know there was no way significant redistribution could have been undertaken with results when there were too few rich and too many poor. We would just have been redistributing poverty, as it were. So, we had to grow first and then spend money on health, education, etc, for the poor. This is what policy economists call the 'sequencing problem'. If Mr. Sen contends otherwise, he has no serious argumentation and evidence to support his assertions, even in his latest book with Dreze.

Check out this exclusive video interview with Tilda Swinton here: http://bit.ly/cy1ORB
can someone explain the last scene after the credits of I am love?
I thought of Tartarus in the last scene. I was getting an allegorically Gnostic feel earlier on. I'm so tired of moral relativism in a world that is obviously shared and thus indicative of a true external morality. I think that God is love, not the twisted self-satisfaction that gets portrayed as liberating in this film.
I think the last scene is a return to healing mother earth. A bit obscure I agree. Love the film though.

Vaqueros rein in Lions in 2nd half
San Diego earns showdown with old foe West Oso
FALFURRIAS - San Diego now has a playoff showdown with a former district rival.
The Vaqueros made sure of that Thursday night with a strong second-half effort against La Feria for a 52-32 boys basketball bi-district playoff victory.
District 31-3A runner-up San Diego (22-10) advances to play 30-3A champion West Oso in the Class 3A area playoffs on Saturday at 6 p.m. in Robstown. The teams used to be in District 31-3A before the Bears changed districts before the season.
San Diego blew open a five-point game by outscoring La Feria 32-17 in the second half.
"We play better going inside-out than outside-in, and in the first half we were shooting the ball too much from the outside instead of getting the ball inside first," Vaqueros coach Carlos Trevino said. "We got the ball to our inside players in the second half, and they stepped up - that was the difference in the game. Our guards did a nice job of getting the ball to them, too."
Senior guard Albert Mendoza scored 12 of his game-high 17 points in the second half to lead San Diego, while junior post Joseph Martinez tallied 10 of his 12 points in the final 16 minutes of play.
Senior guard Aaron Sanchez had two of San Diego's three 3-pointers in the game - junior guard Ramon Maldonado had the other - and finished with nine points.
Senior post Joe Rios scored seven of his 15 points in the first quarter to lead La Feria, which finished third in District 32-3A this season.
"(Rios) was the one we knew we were going to have to stop - we game-planned defensively around him," Trevino said. "He got into foul trouble, and we were able to do a better job defensively on him after that first quarter."

My Laundry Question
I am getting married and want to be able to wear my grandmother's wedding dress. The dress was handmade, and is a taffeta-type underdress with a cotton (venetian?) lace overlay. The dress is in very good condition, except the lace is considerably yellowed. It is yellowed unevenly, and especially around the seams in the lace. Is there any way I could whiten the dress without damaging the fabric? The fabric still seems very strong and flexibly (I have tried it on).
Share a Little Background Info
Age. The dress was handmade in 1953 for my grandparent's wedding. The dress was in near perfect condition when my mother used it for my parent's wedding in 1979, but since then the color has changed. Is there any way I could whiten the dress without damaging the fabric? The fabric still seems very strong and flexibly (I have tried it on).
Lessons Learned
- nothing has been tried yet. We did not want to damage the dress in any way,
Fabric Content of Item (if appropriate)
cotton lace, taffeta underdress, handmade taffeta encased buttons.
Mary Marlowe Leverette, About.com Laundry & Laundry Rooms, says:
Your dress is lovely and what a wonderful family tradition. All the best in your impending wedding.
To whiten the lace, fill a bathtub with cool water.
Mix a solution of oxygen-based bleach (OxiClean, Clorox 2, Country Save Bleach, Purex 2 Color Safe Bleach) with the water. Follow the package directions as to how much product per gallon of water. Completely submerge the dress and allow it to soak for at least eight hours. Check the color. If it is as white as you want, rinse the dress. Do not wring, just squeeze gently to remove the water. Hang to dry using a plastic hanger so no rust will appear. If it needs to be whitened more, mix a fresh solution and repeat. It may take several soakings to get it back to white but it should come out well.
You will then need to press the garment well.
Good luck!
