re: good luck plymouthNice comments Holte. Thanks for taking the time to pass on your best wishes.
If you know any Villa fans or fans of other clubs who may be able to attend the Fans Re-united event on the 24th please pass this on. In truth we may even fold before the 24th we are that close to the brink.
If the players refuse to defer payments for a further 2 weeks the Administrator becomes responsible to pay the wages, unless they release the players from their contracts. The administrator is saying they won't pay the wages and will shut the place. Of course there is always the mysteroius consortium who are buying Argyle, who could or rather should just cough up the money they have been promising for months now.

re: good luck plymouthWhat makes you so great that you can't go bust?
Would Villa fans give a **** if it was gillingham or Barnet?
You make your bed, lie in it. Relying on a world cup bid for your future is damned stupid.

Al Sigl is a name familiar in Rochester, but did you know he organized the first blood driver ever in our area. He did it at WHEC and that's why on Monday, the Al Sigl Center celebrated the 130th birthday of its founder by encouraging others to donate blood.

Rodong Sinmun Calls for Strengthening Role of County
| Pyongyang, March 18 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in an editorial calls for giving greater spurs to the work for strengthening the role of the county.
In the DPRK, county is a base for carrying out the three resolutions -- ideological, technical and cultural -- and a main unit of general offensive to build an economic power and improve the people's living standard.
Leader Kim Jong Il published the work "The Position and Role of a County in Socialist Construction" five decades ago, indicating a wide avenue for bringing about a great surge in the socialist construction.
The editorial says:
Strengthening the county and its role is to dynamically promote the building of the thriving nation and enable the people to live in luxury and comfort under socialism as early as possible.
To strengthen the role of the county is a basic requirement for bringing about a leap forward in the agricultural production to firmly defend Korean-style socialism and translate the idea of building a highly civilized socialist country into a reality.
Only when all the counties do farming well to achieve a leap forward in the agricultural production, will our advance make faster progress and loud cheers for socialism and the WPK will ring out throughout the country.
In the civilized socialist country now being built the people will fully enjoy a highly civilized life with rapidly developed cultural standard and ample living conditions provided in all fabrics of social life and all the regions of the country.
When all counties build a factory and a dwelling house, they should construct them in such a way as to be suited to their local features and meet the need of socialism and enable people to substantially benefit from them. This is an important requirement of our party for the building of a highly civilized nation.
Only when all counties carry on a dynamic struggle upholding the party's idea of building the highly civilized country, will the country greet the period of efflorescence of a high level of civilization to be envied by world people.

All bits zero != NULL. This is a common misbelief, which happens to be
true on a number of platforms. But it is not guaranteed to be true,
and is not on several platforms, though I conced that they are not the
mainstream. See:
Sec. 5 of the C FAQ: ~http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/s5.html
Any number of comp.lang.c posts:
Especially this one by the author of the FreeBSD C Library (last paragraph):

A core dump could occur right here, with or without calloc(),
considering you didn't check malloc()'s return.

Provided that one is using a system on which NULL happens to be
all-bits-zero. Which we all are on this list, but can we guarantee
that the code you write won't be ported to such a system?
And I submit that without the core dump, the bug of having forgotten
to set *person's fields just got much, much harder to track down.

Family and Tuscany Serve as Her Inspiration
When interviewing Sherry for a story -- which begins below -- for Coast Magazine,
I was drawn to her stovetop, with its over-sized lantern sconces flanking a rustic mantel where old wooden type blocks spell out the family name. The heavy burner grills, the brick work and arch -- and even the pot filler exude warmth and character . . . you just know this is a place where family comes first.
This BOI -- "born on the island" -- resident wanted a different kind of kitchen space. Sherry built everything based on how she works when in the kitchen. She also kept in mind the type of entertaining she and husband regularly do.
The Story, as it begins in Coast:
Published May 29, 2011
For many, the decorating process usually begins with a focal point, such as a patterned rug, colorful painting, a favorite piece of furniture or an architectural detail. From that one source of inspiration, a space can blossom into a room that is both beautiful and useful. For BOI — born on the island — resident Sherry Mallia, that one "thing" that set her into motion was family.
Mallia grew up in a little 1950s ranch-style home in the area of Bayou Shores. When she met and married Wayne Mallia, she said the only way he could keep her on the island was to buy what she always coveted, an old historic home. In 1991, the Mallias found the house of their dreams, warts and all, in an area known as Lost Bayou Historic District.
"It really needed a lot of work, but I got that feeling you get when you know something is right. I could see what could be," said Mallia, recalling the couple's first visit to the Greek Revival-style house built in 1889.
Two children, one major hurricane and two renovations later, Mallia enjoys the luxurious comforts of her home. As the Mallia family grew, so did the house. Once 2,500 square feet, it's now 4,500 square feet.
The pièce de résistance is the kitchen and family area — a newly designed post-Hurricane Ike space.
For the rest of the story -- and photos, go here.

Swift Current's Cody Schapansky golfed his way to a third place age group finish at the 2010 SGI Canada Junior Order of Merit Tour Championship.
Schapansky placed third in the 16-year-old age group at the provincial event hosted at the Deer Valley Golf Course and the Royal Regina Golf Course.
On Wednesday he shot a six-over-par 78 to sit in a two-way tie for first in the field of 28 golfers. During the final round of the 36-hole event Schapansky shot a 76 to card a two-day 154 to finish three shots of the winning score. Aaron Vogel from Regina won the age group with a 151, one shot better than runner-up Regina's Daegan Wall who had a 152.
Swift Current's Jessy-Lee Lacher fired a two-day 178 to finish 24th in the age group, but his round two score was six strokes better than his opening round.
In the 14-year-old age group, a pair of Southwest golfers finished in the middle of 28-golfer field. Swift Current's Logan Tisdale placed 15th with a two-day 184 (96-88). Corey Bailey from Shaunavon also shot a two-round 184 (92-92), placing the Rock Creek Golf Club junior 16th.
In the 12-year-old category, Taylor Kinch from Swift Current placed sixth thanks to a two-day 196. Kyle Tisdale, also from Swift Current, was tenth.

My running took a huge hit this week. With the weather and being sick, I only felt good to run 1 day this past week. I'm hoping this week is better, and I start getting back to running a few times a week.
Last night we went to dinner with another couple, Brandy and Cameron, and it was so nice to just sit and catch up. My husband had deployed with him to Afghanistan, so they always have a nice time together and reminisce of times overseas.
I'm dreaming of warm weather and summertime. It just can't come soon enough!

Dancing With The Stars
How Tall Is Chaz Bono?
Even though his famous mother is tall and willowy, Dancing With the Stars contestant Chaz Bono is surprisingly short.
According to his Celebrity Fit Club profile, Chaz (then Chastity) clocked in around 5'5". However, judging from Chaz and Lacey Schwimmer's official partner portrait (above) , the transgender activist is at least several inches taller than his dancing partner, even with heels on. (Lacey is a teeny-tiny 5'2".)
Is DWTS using visual trickery to make Chaz taller? It wouldn't surprise us, considering the other short male celebrities that have appeared on the show looked oddly taller than their female pro partners in their portraits. Either way, this competition isn't about height, it's all about dancing, so we'll have to see if Chaz can impress the world on the dance floor on September 19!

Comments about Womens Nike Free Bionic Cross Training Shoe:
These shoes are incredible! Lightweight and perfect for the gym, cross-training, and -- my favorite -- boxing/kickboxing, they move with your foot and don't weigh you down like cushioned running shoes when you're doing squats, burpees, and anything else where it helps to be light on your feet. I can't say enough. They're comfortable, cute, and ideal for basically everything EXCEPT running. (Don't use them for that.) Oh, be sure to order a full size up, no matter what the site's guidelines say. The toe on these comes inward, which feels good when you have the right size but weird and uncomfortable if you don't have enough room in there!

Bad Choice
May 31, 2011
Read: Revelation 20:11-15
Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt. Daniel 12:2
An elderly TV star was asked by talk-show host Larry King about heaven. King prefaced his question by referring to Billy Graham, who had told King he knew what would be ahead. It would be paradise. He was going to heaven.
King then asked his guest, What do you believe? He replied, Id like a lot of activity. Heaven sounds too placid for me. Theres a lot to do in hell.
Sadly, this man is not alone in thinking that an existence in Satans realm is a preferred destination. Ive heard people say that theyd rather be in hell because all their friends will be there. One person wrote, If hell was real, I dont think it would be bad. There would be a lot of interesting people.
How can we convince folks who are deceived in this way that hell and its horrors are to be avoided? Perhaps by telling them of the realities of hell that are presented in the Scripture. In Daniel 12:2, it is described as a place of shame and everlasting contempt. Luke 16:23 talks about torments. Matthew 8:12 describes weeping and gnashing of teeth. And Revelation 14:11 says there will be no rest.
Biblical truth doesnt allow anyone to think that hell might be a good place to be. Clearly, rejecting Jesus and facing an eternity in Satans kingdom is a bad choice.
Dont choose to spend eternity
Where pain will never dim;
Instead decide to trust in Christ
And choose to follow Him. Sper
The same Christ who talks about the glories of heaven also describes the horrors of hell.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men"

Bhutanese allegedly molested
A 23 – year old Bhutanese woman working in Bangalore, India was allegedly molested on Wednesday morning by the conductor of the bus she was on with her sister.
The incident occurred around 8am when the sisters were on their way to work, which is about 45 minutes ride by bus. In a telephone interview, the woman's older sister said that the issue with the conductor started when they were standing in queue to buy the bus ticket.
"He was about to cut a daily pass for me because I was looking at the ticket he was issuing to the lady before me but I stopped him and asked him to give me a ticket only until my office," she said. "He looked at me angrily and started talking in their language by pointing at us."
After driving for about half a kilometer, they stopped the bus and asked the sisters to get off but when they refused and started to call the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation's (BMTC) complaint center, the bus moved.
The driver again stopped the bus for about half an hour saying they would lodge a complaint against the sisters to BMTC. While other passengers complained and left the bus, the sisters stayed back in the bus for a while and then decided to leave.
"But the driver and the conductor stood in front of us, blocking our way," she said. "I pushed away his hand and we started walking towards the auto stand."
She said they followed them and were showing them their fists. "When my sister got out, the conductor caught her by the neck and pushed her inside the bus," she said. "I was trying to call the police and the moment he heard me say police, he closed the bus door and the bus started moving slowly."
While she was asking him to stop the bus, she said her sister was molested. "I stood in-front of the bus to stop it and to get my sister out," she said.
The sister later got a call from the BMTC manager apologising and that he would look into the matter. "But he gave a clean chit to the driver and conductor and we decided to go to the media," she said.
While there are other buses, she said they took that bus regularly because it took the shortest route to their work place.

Wherever one works or stays, that person or individual has gone for searching such inhuman treatment. We all must take it seriously and think of better solution to prevent in future.
Heavy Heart | December 31st, 2012 at 09:56:05
If i were a civil engineer i would serve my nation which requires hundred of them now.where is patriotism? Sense of belonging and it would have been safer here than there. I dont endorse rape and molestation upon my sisters, but think my sisters would live upto nations expectation. Why work abroad is a valid question, that does not mean that they were seeking molestation there but have left safety here.
Heavy Heart | December 31st, 2012 at 09:51:26
That doesnot happen in India alone, it happens here in Bhutan. Law matter less than ethics, teach your son to respect women and not to degrade his manliness and ask our daughter to dress, act and speak decent. Palden drukyul gyelo

They should be prosecuted and our government should seriously take the initiative to get the justice for them so that in future any foriegners are secured.

I stayed more than 3 years in New Delhi so, I know how they are….more or less they are like animals they don't have respect to woman…..I wish this case is handed over to Bhutan Police along with that Bloody Conductor…………

Floral Tribute Paid to Statues of Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il
|Pyongyang, February 13 (KCNA) -- Foreigners visited the statues of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il on Mansu Hill on Thursday on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Kim Jong Il.
They were a delegation of the Japanese Society for the Study of the Juche Idea and staff members of missions of the UNDP, WHO, UNICEF, UNFP and UNFAO here.
They laid floral baskets before the statues and paid tribute to them in humblest reverence for the peerlessly great men.

The explosion in prices for many key Rare Earth elements has been fuelled by tight supply out of the world's premiere source for Rare Earth production, China. The supply deficit is expected to remain; China will most likely continue to tighten export quotas and few alternative sources for Rare Earths production exist outside of China. Supply deficits and rising prices make well-propertied Rare Earth mining companies attractive investments.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
This weekly course covers the most common questions videographers encounter when shooting and editing with DSLR cameras, from choosing a frame size and frame rate to understanding moiré. Authors Rich Harrington and Robbie Carman will also help you understand the impacts of compression and the difference between cropped (or micro 4/3rds) and full-sized sensors in cameras, and much more. This continual FAQ guide is a handy way to find the answers to the questions that plague you the most.
Rich Harrington: In the video world, there is a very common saying, that is, better to be a little bit underexposed than overexposed. And I find that if I'm outdoor shooting, it is so tough to judge exposure on these cameras. Robbie Carman: Absolutely! Because when you're outside or even actually under studio lights like we are now, the camera LCD when you're in live view tends to look a little washed out. And so if you're judging your exposure based on this with all this ambient light coming in from the studio lights here or outside, you tend to compensate usually in the wrong direction. Rich Harrington: It's a nice little mirror that you have there.
It's a highly reflective glass surface that's perfectly angled to pick up all the light. Robbie Carman: It's true. So when you're outside under bright lights, you might make the mistake of sort of stepping down too much, where you end up with sort of a underexposed footage, or if you're in sort of medium lit scenes or darker scenes, you might overcompensate. And that's solely because of the ambient light that's hitting the back of this LCD screen. So that's actually a really useful way to use a loupe. By using a loupe, such as this one from Zacuto, which I can just pop on here to the back of the camera, what I'm actually doing is I'm covering up the LCD screen with the loupe itself.
What this does is it blocks ambient light from coming into the LCD. So when I go ahead and take a look here, I'm actually looking directly at the LCD screen in a magnified view, but I'm not being impacted by the ambient light. Now I will say that there are better ways to judge exposure with videoscopes and some of the monitoring options that we've talked about in previous episodes and we will in future episodes, but this is a good place to start, because instead of being impacted by the ambient light, you have a fighting chance at least of what's going on without being sort of affected one way or the other by what's going on in your environment.
Rich Harrington: What's happening here is exactly what you said there. I could have a good idea of what it is that I'm seeing. I don't have to be fearful that the environment is messing with. The other nice thing too is that this does provide another point of contact. Robbie Carman: Yup! Rich Harrington: So when I put this up here to my body, I'm getting the point of contact of hand on it, and on the lens if needed another point of contact on the face as opposed to try to hold this out there and it's shaking, and it's vibrating. So it does benefit you there. But there is a little gotcha. You'll notice here on this particular one, I have this little clip-on cap, and I even have a little 16x9 mask.
If you've ever heard that phrase or you've ever, you've seen it, not encouraging that you actually try this, but where people would take a magnifying glass and fry an ant, this is a giant magnifying glass pointed right at the back of your camera. Robbie Carman: You've got to be really careful about this, especially if you're in an outdoor scene, and shooting and you just put the camera down, all of a sudden, that sunlight is coming in to the back of the loupe here. Guess what? It's focusing the sunlight directly through the loupe onto the LCD. And if you leave it there long enough, guess what's going to happen? You're going to get sort of spots and sort of discolored areas on the camera LCD because you've essentially burned the LCD out by the magnifying glass effect.
And instead of ants, well, you're burning the LCD. Rich Harrington: Yeah. So if you happen to get lost while in the woods shooting with your DSLR video, you probably could start a fire with one of these for safety sakes purposes. But just remember, keep it covered and that's why you actually have that little cap that goes on there, keep the camera so the sun is hitting the top, don't tilt it so that the sun is just pouring into the back there. You want to be careful that you don't get extra sunlight. All right! So that is that benefits of the loupe. In summary, critical focus, another point of contact as well as accurate exposure.
And I like to say that this is one of those top three. When I talk to a new person, and what's the gear they should get, I say look, a tripod, so you have a stable shot, a microphone, so you can hear your shot, and a loupe, so you know that the shot is properly exposed and in focus. This is the lens for the back of the camera, and without it, you're really just sort of guessing with what you're getting. Robbie Carman: Yeah. And Rich, you know, for the price of them, I think they're a very good investment. You can keep them around for a long time, and they are really going to benefit your shoots when you're going out there and shooting in all sort of different lighting situations and you need to get critical focus and critical exposure set.
Rich Harrington: Just make sure you take that lanyard and attach it to the device; there are different ways. You've got a clip one there. I've got a metal clip. But, you can have this either around your neck or tether this somehow to the camera body or your tripod because what's going to happen is you're going to have this attached to the camera and something is going to happen on set, you turn quickly or someone bumps your camera; while this is sturdy, you don't want it dropping and bouncing on the ground. Having it on a string is going to prevent that unwanted damage. Now lots of manufacturers out there, I've personally used the Zacuto model, we have a periscope model here.
I also like the ones that come from Hoodman, and I've used their products, but there are tons of these out there. Just find the one that's a good match for you and your budget. These are going to start in the low $100-150, peak up to about $300-400 dollars depending on the feature set that you want. But, just like a good lens, this is a great investment that will carry across all of your DSLR shooting and allow you to use this as you step up to new camera bodies in the future.

Choppy Waters for Traders
The past couple weeks have been choppy in the equities market. While the strong intraday moves are great for day traders, it is extremely difficult for swing/position traders who normally hold positions for 3-60 days in length, which is my focus. That being said, we are reaching a do or die point for the equities market and next week there should be a strong move out of this trading range.
On the volume side of things, we have been seeing distribution taking place. Heavy volume continues to step into the market unloading large amounts of shares. The interesting part is that the majority of traders are bullish and sentiment levels are at extremes.Continue Reading »
Long Term Trends
Trading with multiple time frames – every now and then it's always a good idea to look at some different time frames to be sure you have a solid understanding for the longer term trends in play.
I will admit that it's easy to get caught up in trading the shorter time frames like the 1, 10, and 60 minute charts especially when there are large intraday movements.Continue Reading »
Where's the Yield? (part one)
Portfolio yields are under pressure due to the worldwide flight to safety over the last few years, making conservative and income growth portfolios more difficult to manage. While bond investments made a few years ago have done historically well, new investments have greater principal risk with low historic yields. Some advisors have simply shifted from bonds into stocks, but for those truly in conservative and income growth risk classes, adding equities will increase the portfolio's standard deviation, a common measure of risk, reducing the portfolio's ability to soften the "blow" from the next crisis or even modern day volatility.
Investors should never chase yield, meaning simply buying the highest yielding product with no concern about who is paying the interest.Continue Reading »
Trading USO Options
At the risk of stating the obvious, the recent market action in the commodities has been manic with wild gyrations of price in a wide variety of basic materials, metals, and energy.
Given these wild fluctuations in price, I thought we could look at an options trade in USO that gives a high probability of success.
In order to give a bit of a conceptual framework for this sort of trade, let me share the way I look at these. Development of precision high altitude bombing during World War II resulted in a dramatic reduction in casualties while inflicting devastating consequences to enemy forces. I view the sort of option strategy described below as the equivalent of high altitude precision bombing.Continue Reading »
How Far Will Metals Correct?
The question everyone is starting to ask is how far will the metals correct?
Personally, I do not think they will drop much further but I do think it's going to take 6-8 months before we see new highs in both gold and silver. They have had a nice run but now it looks as though they may cool off for a while. We could see some strength in the dollar for a little while and that should keep some pressure on metals even though inflation is clearly starting to show up around the world. Then the metals should start to climb the wall or worry again.
Below are my updated charts on gold, silver and the gold miners index. Not much has really changed from last week analysis other than both gold and gold miners are getting deeper into a resistance level forming a bear flag pattern.Continue Reading »

Newbie with an issue
Hi guys,
How many times have you heard...I wish I had found this forum earlier???;)
Anyway, I've built a barrel type oven, not to any specific spec (which is probably the problem) and tried cooking a couple of days ago. Not entirely a disaster, got a fantastic garlic bread out of it but the heat seemed to disappear within minutes of moving the coals. Had it burning for about 2 hours, it got nice and hot but then 1 garlic bread later (which cooked in 2 mins or so) and the by the time Id made up the next pizza, that one took around 8 mins to cook, next one even longer.
So I will get some piccys up later on and some sizes but I was concerned about the airflow, essentially I could put my hand in the oven (at the bottom) for a good number of seconds, where as halfway up the doorway there was no chance, felt like it would strip my finger nails off. So..Im thinking there is too much airflow at the bottom where its sucking it in?
I have no chimney (no room) so its just the barrel then the front opening, I have concrete over the dome top (about 2'') but not a mixture of vermiculite.
No concrete on the face or the back wall (back wall ( think I can remedy) but the front is just going to get a render.
~4'' concrete base, with firebricks for the entire oven.
I know its a long shot without seeing photos and sizes but any recommendations from that description? I was thinking of perhaps drilling some ventilation holes to help with the air flow? or adding a thicker concrete layer on the top?
All help comments greatly appreciated...
Re: Newbie with an issue
More insulation is needed by the sounds of it, mine takes 1 hour to heat and stays hot for 4 hours, its even still fairly warm 2 days after a firing.
Thermal mass+Insulation=good oven.
Re: Newbie with an issue
Hi Ben,
I think it sounds like not enough insulation, too. (Or none at all?)
If you post some pictures, maybe we can suggest some way of adding insulation, but from what you've said, I doubt that airholes or more cement would improve matters. Retro-fitting insulation has been done before, and with any luck there'll be a solution for your oven, too.
Re: Newbie with an issue
Do you have any insulation under the floor? It sounds like whatever is directly beneath your brick floor is sucking heat out of the floor instead of reflecting it (insulation).
Re: Newbie with an issue
Hi guys,
Thanks for the replies.
Ok so insulation sounds like the problem, so I can easily wack a good dollop ove the top, maybe get some down the back, none on the front though.
My concrete base is just that, a 4'' slab of concrete laid on normal bricks along the edges, so there is nothing under the slab at all apart from air :o
I assume from your question that it should have some sort of insulation layer below it???:eek:
Soon get some piccys up, just been a little busy..
Re: Newbie with an issue
PS Since figured out my opening to roof height is only 52%, how will that affect the temperature? Presumably not enough airflow? so will it burn at a lower temp?
Re: Newbie with an issue
The biggest problem (most difficult to solve) is the lack of insulation under your cooking floor. Are you cooking on the concrete or do you have bricks on top of the concrete??
You need to have some insulation on top of the hearth and under your cooking floor bricks. This is why your floor refuses to get hot. The 4" slab of concrete is like a giant heat sink, sucking your heat away from the cooking surface.
If it's possible, put some 2" thick refractory insulation board on top of the concrete hearth, then lay some bricks on top of that for a cooking surface.
Re: Newbie with an issue
If all else fails, maybe you could add some insulation underneath the concrete hearth? It'd be better than nothing at any rate...
Re: Newbie with an issue
How many fires have you had in your oven?
If it is brand new the second issue you will have is the moisture in the masonry takes a good 10 fires or so to cure or dry out. Until that point, the oven has a real hard time getting to and holding temperature.
This is a secondary issue compared to the 'no insulation under the floor' issue which will take a big long fire to heat up all that concrete.... or get some good insulation under the cooking floor.
Re: Newbie with an issue
Firebricks that line your oven are heat sponges. They absorb heat.
You have to have insulation between the firebricks and anything else (360deg all around) to keep the heat from being sucked out of the firebricks. Anywhere concrete or air touches your firbricks is BAD.
The floor of your oven needs to have insulation under it or you will loose all heat quickly.
The dome of your oven needs insulation around it or same thing.
Possible solution for floor: add 2" insulation board and then low duty firebricks. This will raise your floor 4.5 inches but it beats tearing the whole thing down.
What is on the outside of your dome....touching your bricks? If nothing, good. add insulation (FB blanket best, vermiculite also good). If plain concrete....not good. not sure what to do at that point.
good luck

Television and radio host Glenn Beck, earlier this month, decreed that social justice doesn't belong in religion, but Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson, the dean of the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies at the American Jewish University (AJU), suggested that the issue is more complex.
Social justice has to be based on the democratic engagement of the community, as opposed to a rabbi [or clergyman] imposing a social justice issue on his or her community, said Artson, at the Westside Jewish Community Center on March 15.
Beck spoke against religiously affiliated social justice movements on his radio show. "I beg you, look for the words 'social justice' or 'economic justice' on your church Web site," Beck said. "If you find it, run as fast as you can." He added that they are code words for communism and Nazism.
Artson spoke at a panel that followed a collaborative learning session between Hebrew Union College (HUC) and AJU rabbinical students. The topic was the Old Testament's justification for agricultural justice. During the Q-and-A, a student asked the panel (which also featured Rabbi Richard Levy of HUC) its take on Beck's comments.
Artson's analysis comes on the heels of online debate. A blogger for nonprofit online news publication Mother Jones criticized Beck for his view and his syntax: Adam Weinstein, in post "Glenn Beck: God Hates Justice," referred to Beck's statements as "incoherent bauble."
Below, find MSNBC's Keith Olbermann's broadcast of Beck's remark.

I've seen the CANON DC40 and I am impressed. Canon DC40 is very attractive with a functional design It was built with solid quality. The videcam is very decent daytime and surprisingly solid low-light video quality and has a broad set of semimanual photo and video controls.
However,the videocam also has its boo-boos. It has small LCD and it uses Mini SD cards rather than standard SD. It has a blinding video light and there's no S-Video input for converting analog video to DVDs.
The important bottomline here is that the Canon DC40 definitely deserves a spot on your short list of DVD camcorders.

Welcome to 1to1 Media — a multimedia resourcefor CRM and Customer Experience Professionals.
Videos, infographics, and other visual-based "Internet memes" are all the rage. Since one of the main purposes of social media is to minimize text or prose, these tools have forced us all to take another look at how we're expressing ourselves. The few written words still used are there primarily to entice you to check out the visual, or provide an interesting or amusing caption for that visual. The visual is now the story, which means that telling your story using visual imagery is one of the most effective ways of getting your message out.
What does this mean? That if you have not yet translated your written-word marketing and sales messages into visual storytelling assets, you are – at best – at risk of not getting your point across. A more likely scenario is that you—and the product or service you're trying to sell—will just be ignored. Even research and analyst firms that relied on mammoth whitepapers, reports, and dense, text-heavy presentations are now delivering their content in infographics and videos. (Not saying they are any good, just saying they are trying.)

Product Description
While liturgical theologians assert more strongly than most Reformed theologians that knowledge of God comes primarily through liturgy, both groups, says Moore-Keish, have not always attended closely to local practice. In keeping with ritual scholars who urge closer attention to particular practices, Moore-Keish argues that we need to be cautious about claiming what the eucharist universally is and does. We must not allow predetermined "meaning" to blind us to the "doing" of eucharist in local churches. An in-depth study of a particular congregation helps flesh out Moore-Keish's thesis.

Publisher's Description
Martha Moore-Keish seeks to counter that impulse. Instead, she places the Reformed tradition in conversation with liturgical theology and ritual theory, moving toward a fuller appreciation of the ritual dimension of the Eucharist. She upholds the contention of liturgical theologians that knowledge of God comes primarily through liturgy, and that the eucharist is, as Calvin portrayed it, a locus of God??'s activity.
However, she also contends, liturgical theologies have not always attended closely to local practice. Moore-Keish cautions that we must not allow predetermined ???meaning??? to blind us to the ???doing??? of eucharist in local churches.
Do This in Remembrance of Me is a thoughtful call to recover greater appreciation for the way in which relationships to God and one another are shaped by ritual action.

Champaign County, Illinois
Local Government Information Center
Courthouse Clock & Bell Tower Restoration
The historic Champaign County Courthouse, located on Courthouse Square in downtown Urbana, Illinois, is currently undergoing extensive renovation. This included the addition of a new Justice facility for the Circuit Court and Office of the Circuit Clerk as well as remodeling of the original 1901 Courthouse into office space for the Offices of State's Attorney, Public Defender, and Probation & Court Services. The new Justice facility was completed and occupied in May, 2002, and the remodeling of the original 1901 Courthouse was completed in May, 2003. Currently, renovation of the exterior brickwork is underway.
The story of the Courthouse begins in 1833 when Champaign County was formed with Urbana as the county seat. The first courthouse, a log cabin, was so crude it saw only two sessions of court in 1836 and 1837. It was replaced in 1840 with a brick and wood frame building that served for the next 9 years. It was in this building that Abraham Lincoln appeared as a lawyer while riding the circuit.
The next courthouse, built in 1849, was a two-story building of brick and wood with a bell tower in the center of its roof. Abraham Lincoln again served in this building and was in Urbana when he learned of the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, gave a speech in opposition to the spread of slavery in the territories and learned of receiving votes at the Republican Convention in Boston. Mr. Lincoln left a substantial legacy in Champaign County.
The year 1860 saw a $30,000 remodeling of the courthouse to a steel frame with a masonry exterior. This project was initiated by the County Board in spite of the growth west of the city and the incorporation of Champaign. The project even included the creation of a horse-drawn railway from the Doane House near the depot in Champaign to the courthouse in Urbana to ensure the county seat would remain where it was originally located.
In 1883, the Seth Thomas clock was installed in the third County Courthouse with the advent of National Standard Time. It supplied time to four dials on each side of the Courthouse Tower and struck the hour on a 1000-pound bell.
In 1901 a new courthouse designed by noted architect Joseph Royer (an Urbana resident and graduate of the University of Illinois School of Architecture) was dedicated. The building cost $150,000 and was done in the Romanesque style with red sandstone and mottled brick exterior. The beautiful building had as an architectural accent a clock and bell tower which rose some 135 feet and housed the Seth Thomas clock. From its balconies one could see miles over fertile Champaign County fields. Unfortunately, this tower was struck by lightning at least four times including in 1930 resulting in the loss of the clock tower spire and again in 1952 removing the belfry and shortening the tower by nearly 60 feet to a squat castle-like appearance at only 85 feet. Mr. Royer was again called upon to design the battlements that topped the tower until 2009.
The original Seth Thomas clockworks, built in 1877, were removed from the tower in 2002 and renovated. The clockworks were returned to the tower in 2009.
The Champaign County Board appointed a citizens advisory committee and charged them with obtaining private and public grant funds in order to restore the clock and bell tower to a height of 123 feet. The original belfry has been reconstructed so that the historic Courthouse bell can be once again heard chiming the hours of the restored Courthouse clock. Finials, gargoyles and stone details again ornament the tower, as they did when it was first erected.
Through private donations from County residents, $1.154 Million was raised to pay for rebuilding the clock and bell tower to its original 1901 height.

Our combined team has taken huge steps forward in "imagineering" Pandora as a real place for our guests to see, hear and touch.

Outside of Paris lies a "Truman Show like über-replica of a French village from the last century, which seems to have sprung up overnight." — fastcodesign.com
I think Magic Kingdom is an exemplary model of superb light fixture choice in themed design; there is very little overlap and redundancy but very few fixtures call attention to themselves. Still, it would be offensive and out of place to offer modern LED freeway light poles in Liberty Square, so the lamps and light fixtures deserve our respect and appreciation as well: another hallmark of the WED tradition of perfection down to the tiniest detail. — passport2dreams.blogspot.co.uk

Cameron Coffee Table 17 17
Perfect coffee table! This coffee table is incredibly sturdy and such a great value. It was easy to put together and is very good quality (even better than we expected). The color is a really nice beachy wood that looks great in our family room. I highly recommend this product! January 21, 2015
Gorgeous modern-industrial design I love, love, love this table. The solid build, rustic and simple design, weathered finish, iron accents. It's so cool. I was impressed with the quality of it for the price. Great value. I WISH they made console tables, end tables, bookcases, and dining benches in the Cameron style - I'd buy them all! November 19, 2014
Great coffee table. I love this coffee table. It arrived in great condition, easy to put together and it look great in my house. I have received many compliments and they are usually asking if I made the table or where I got it because it has a unique, weathered look to it. It's big, sturdy and beautiful. September 28, 2014
Such a great purchase! I get so many compliments on this table. It is just the right size for my place, which house 2 couches facing each other on both sides of the table. Looks exactly like the pictures in person! September 4, 2014
Best Table I've Ever Bought I absolutely love this table! It was so easy to put together by myself and I'm a 5'3" female who has no patience when it comes to putting furniture together or any kind of real skill and I was definitely worried that it would be heavy or difficult... it wasn't! . It literally took me about 30 min! It looks great and has a weathered, beachy, wooden pallet look to it! I am very happy with this table and have gotten a ton of compliments on it! It also arrived very fast and was wrapped very well and protected. I felt like it cost a little more than I wanted to pay but it is absolutely worth it! It's EXACTLY what I was looking for! July 8, 2014
This is a great table! We were looking for a coffee table for our recently upgraded living room. The Cameron Coffee Table fit the bill perfectly. It arrived quickly, was easy to assemble and completes the suite. We are protecting the table top from errant spills and cold/hot drinks by using a glass top. February 4, 2014
Great cottage chic piece We purchased this coffee table almost a year ago for our den, and we still love it. The top doesn't look as much like real wood as the legs or pallet shelf, but we have always kept a big white tray on it anyway, and that wouldn't keep us from buying again. The value is great, and it was easy to assemble (my hubby and I put it together in a snap, though I think one could to it#. We do move it around quite often #we pull it closer to the couch to use like an eating table), and the legs have gotten a little loose from dragging on the rug, but we can just tighten the bolts and it's fine. If this is the look you're going for, don't hesitate to get this table. January 31, 2014
Just what I was looking for! This table was easy to assemble. Once out of the box, it took my husband about 5 minutes to put the table together. I love the table, it seems well made and sturdy....time will tell! I like that it has a rustic, modern, beach vibe. Works great with my décor! The finish has so many different tones, which I love...grey tones, warm browns. The wood is not perfect, which I like as it adds character to it. I would not have purchased this table if it didn't have the shelf below, so I was glad to have that feature! The black metal hardware on the corners add to the overall look. I'm sure the placement of the hardware was based on design over function. However, since I have children, I like the placement of the bottom black hardware because if the table gets bumped/ran into on the corners, it won't get worn as easily as it would had if it been bare wood. Per the recommendation of some posters on the website, I applied a clear sealant to the table top to ensure longevity of the table. Before doing this I also called World Market's customer service number to verify it wouldn't ruin the table. I put 2 coats of clear wipe on poly (satin finish# on it. It's so easy to do, just follow the directions on the can. Once I'm able to open up some windows #cold temps), I'll probably add one more coat. I'm happy with the results, in my opinion it darkened the finish ever so slightly but doubt anyone other than myself would notice it. Glad I purchased this table! January 30, 2014

Put it all together and what have you got? A country that's accessible like never before. The increase of major travel providers will not only bring an element of familiarity (which can be a bane or a boon, depending on your travel style), but the headlong rush by so many companies to claim ground in China means that the competition for tourism dollars should keep rates reasonable for most travel periods. Unfortunately, it may not hold true during the Olympics, when the demand is predicted to far exceed the supply. Scoring availability and the best possible rates during the Olympics will be a competition in itself.
The Olympics
Gymnasts, swimmers, and sprinters around the world have, in recent months, been competing for a place at next year's Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Likewise, if you're serious about getting maximum value out of your trip to the world's premier sporting competition, you should be locking in your place at the Games now. Here are a few important tips to know before you book.
Booking a place to stay will be a competitive sport
According to the China Economic Review, about three million spectators are expected to pass through Beijing during the Olympics, but the city will have only about 420,000 rooms. As if that's not enough, prices on airfare, hotels, and other travel commodities are expected to quadruple between now and next August.
That kind of math means inflated prices and tough competition for the city's limited accommodations stock. One way to approach a trip is by finding a package provider or tour company to bundle your air, hotel, and other amenities. There are dozens of providers out there; you can start a search by checking the United States Tour Operators Association or the China National Tourist Office tour operators locator. Even if you don't normally enlist professional trip-planning help, you might consider the help of a travel agent who specializes in China and can infuse the booking process with first-hand expertise. You can also always go it alone with the help of the Internet, a few guide books, and good sense. However you decide to book, finding maximum value for a big-ticket trip like the Olympics will require an early start and some independent research.
Not all Olympic events take place in Beijing
Beijing will be the center of the action, but it's not the only city to host Olympic events. Sailing events take place in Qingdao, the equestrian competition in Hong Kong, and preliminary soccer matches occur in Tianjin, Shanghai, Shenyang, and Qinhuangdao. If you're particularly interested in a sport occurring outside of Beijing, you may be in luck, since it's possible you'll find better prices and easier booking at hotels.
There are a limited number of tickets
A little less than three-quarters of the total number of tickets to Olympic events are reserved for domestic sale in China, so international competition for the remainder can be tight. Between October and January, and then again after April, official U.S. Olympic ticket outlet CoSport.com will sell Olympic event tickets. There are ticket limits as well: each customer can buy up to eight tickets per event, and up to 48 tickets in total. You can find the competition schedule on the Beijing 2008 website.
You'll need a visa

Apple pipes in new iPods

(continued from previous page)
these changes will widen the gap between Apple and potential competitors that are trying to chip away at iPod market share."
Aside from adding the camera link to the iPod Photo models, Apple lengthened the battery life of both Minis. Apple says the Minis can now operate for up to 18 hours on a battery charge. Apple has also changed the color lineup slightly for the Mini--retaining silver, dropping gold, and replacing the prior shades of blue, pink and green with "more vibrant" ones, Joswiak said.
In addition, Apple appears to have dropped its 40GB iPods in favor of 20GB, 30GB and 60GB models. The 40GB iPod and iPod Photo models disappeared from the company's Web site Wednesday morning shortly after the new iPod models were announced.
All four new iPods are available now, while the iPod Camera Connector will come out in late March.
The camera connector, Joswiak said, is a small white plastic device, similar in appearance to a small docking station, that has a cable for connecting to the iPod and a USB port for connecting to a camera. It will work with both the new iPod Photos and with earlier photo player models, Joswiak said.
Pictures loaded onto an iPod directly will be able to display immediately on the iPod. But for the photos to be shown on a TV, the iPod Photo will need to be connected to a Mac or PC first.
In addition to the price cuts, there are also slight changes to what comes in the box with new iPods. FireWire, which was the only way to connect the original iPod to a Mac, is now optional, with a cable costing $19. USB 2.0 is the standard.
"There is no doubt that USB 2 is the proper common interface of choice," Joswiak said, adding that Apple will continue to support FireWire as an option.
Also, while the iPod Mini is cheaper, it no longer comes with a power adapter to plug into an outlet. Customers can either charge the player by connecting it to a Mac or PC, or pay $29 for an adapter. Docks are also not included as standard with any of the new players, but one can be ordered as a $39 accessory.

- How would you use BT?
- Just interested to see what exactly are you looking for with a
bluetooth enabled iPod?
Is it to have BT stereo headset and listen to music? Or is it to
stream to your stereo's BT receiver and listen at home?
I am not aware of a BT solution yet. Any links?

- customers caught in the middle
- OK, now I am ticked. I just bought a 40GB 4 days ago, which is now discontinued. The 60GB photo costs an extra $50. I was just going to take it in and exchange it and pay an extra $50, but I just called the Apple store and they want me to pay a $40 restocking fee on top of that. I haven't even loaded a single fricking song, just opened it 2 days ago, have every piece of plastic that was in the darn box including the plastic shrinkwrap for the entire box, and they want $40.
I was pretty excited about my iPod. I think I will be returning it for a refund and not get the new one if this is the kind of customer service I can expect. Total bs.

- What I see is that what you got was $100 off
- on a player that was $499 only a few days (couple of weeks?) ago. Go back in time 2 weeks and you'll end up paying a TOTAL of $10 less for both 20GB more and a direct camera connection. Sounds like a good deal to me.

- Come on
- Do just the tiniest bit of research to avoid that sort of situation,
the net was buzzing with the prospect of an addition/change to
the ipod line you should have paid attention then waited till the
time came, when i was upgrading my 3rd gen i listened to the
rumor mill and waited till the release of the photos came, i
decided they werent for me and bought a 20 gig 4g like i had
planned but this way i avoided purchasing something days
before it is replaced by something better. Do some research
before you buy especially if the fact that your device was
replaced is such a big deal to you, it will save you a lot of grief

- Finally some sense out of Apple
- Lets face it, we all saw this coming. But then again, what a pleasant suprise. Up until recently Macs in general have been kicked to the curb by PC based lower pricing. However, with the introduction of the $500 Mac Mini they're starting to catch on. Also bringing the iPod Mini down to 199 was an excellent choice because there were many 5 Gigabyte models for the same price. Last but not least the lowering of the price of the iPod Photo was one of the greatest things Apple could have done for their lineup. A $150 price drop? Finally, Apple's starting to see the prices that everyone else is using (and they're getting competetive).
- Like Reply Link Flag
- It's just plain business
- I don't think that Apple finally saw what others are charging. They know very well what the competition is charging. But any business riding a wave of explosive popularity will charge as much as they can as long as they can sustain it. With every addition of a new and improved version of any wildly popular product (in this case it was the 60GB iPod photo) there will always be a those who will pay a 'very high' price just to have the latest and greatest. Once that wave of buyers dries up, then its time to make downward price adjustments and get to the next wave of buyers who will buy at 'high' prices, followed by subsequent price drops for the next level of buyers, and on and on it goes.
But I must say I was quite excited about the rumors that the mini was getting a color screen. That would have been awesome along with 6GB and 18-hour battery life for $249! I was dissapointed that the rumor was wrong, but I suppose I fall into the category of those willing to buy at 'high' prices because I'm going to throw in my $249 for one. I'm tired of constantly having to reload my 1.5GB Rio Nitrus with new music. At 6GB I'll be able to load enough music for week or two. I'd love to go with 30GB and color screen for an extra $100, but I find the iPods too heavy and bulky for how I use a music player.

- Still too expensive
- For something whose output quality is way below that of CD content (although this is more to do with CD copy protection, and the cheap, crappy default earphones) this product is still way overpriced.
A $100 personal cd player still has far more versatility (compatible with all music download sites, instantly pays any CD - no file transfer necessary) and the sound quality is beyond comparison.
As soon as the price for 2-4GB devices falls under $100, then you'll have something worth buying.
Put it this way, this is supposedly the must have cool gadget for kids. This is fine for parents or kids with large incomes, but for lower income families, there are two issues.
First, obviously, is that kids tend to lose everything - too bad, so sad you might say, but why someone like me would be tempted to buy the thing in the first place, given that they have poor build quality (check out the ipods over 2 years old on ebay, and find out how many still have original batteries that work correctly, or dodgy connections for the earphones ) and are small enough to be lost easily - no thanks.
Now consider that the PSP will have a retail cost of around $250 - can player movies, music, games. They can connect to the internet, with built in wifi, and will almost certainly be updated with productivity software like MS Word for pocket PCs or media on the go applications (Cable TV / satelite radio reception in wifi hotspots), and tell me where the value in an ipod is..

Chayote or Sayote Growing
|By Pinoy Farmer | April 18, 2008
Chayote is a climbing plant that can rise as high as 12 meters. Its leaves are heart-shaped, 10-25 cm wide and with tendrils on the stem. The flowers are cream-colored or somewhat green that come out beneath a leaf or branch. If the plant is male, the flowers are in cluster; if female, the flowers come singly.
The fruit, light green, is elongated with one end narrower than the other with deep ridges lengthwise. The young leaves are eaten as vegetables (as salad), the roots grow like yam (ubi) and are also edible when cooked as sweets or fried like camote. If the harvest of chayote is abundant, it is cheaper to use it as food for pigs than the usual commercial feed. Chayote likes a cool climate with rains that are even during the year. It grows well in loose soil with fertilizer and likes rich volcanic soil.
- Plant the matured fruit. This is allowed to germinate, first in a nurery. Upon reaching about 30 cm, it can now be transferred to the field.
- Make holes about 30 cm wide and 3-5 meters apart from one another. Mix the soil with compost and put it back into the hole.
- One to three seedlings can be planted in each hole. Cover with soil. Always clear the surroundings of weeds – until about 2 meters away from the plants. When the plant spreads and fill the trellises, the growth of weeds will be controlled.
- Put trellises on every plant when these are about 30 cm high. Compost is the best fertilizer, but at 7-8 weeks, apply complete fertilizer before and after every rain.
If the chayote plant is planted for its fruits, do not prune the plant to get shoots; allow the big vine to spread so as to get the most sunshine and dew. But if the purpose is for shoots only, the plant gets pruned while the young leaves are gathered.
- Manually pick the fruits when the desired size is reached.
- Place the container of the harvested chayote in shade to keep them fresh for a longer time.
Pests and Diseases
Chayote is not beset with enemies of diseases like other plants. All it needs is care from weeds and adequate watering.

sayote is a vine. actually its can live for more than 4 years. base on my experience, if the sayote vine dies, there is a new vines that will grow. maybe, the life span of the sayote plant depends also on the climatic factor and the way you take good care of the plant.
