Don't get me wrong, there is definitely a correlation between the two and I most definitely see your point when lumping them. The problem though (with that reasoning) is, as I said, organized religion has actually added quite a bit to society where as general superstitions and folk lore have not. This leads me into:
The problem with the minority telling the majority they are wrong is two fold:
1) The majority won't care.
2) It will start a war depending on which religion is targeted (ie: if you posted exactly what you said on specific forums for a specific religion you would receive numerous death threats). Point being, the minority would lose in a massive manner, it wouldn't even be close.
The best thing one can do or hope for in this situation is education and the realization that science dictates instead of mystical this or that. Take myself for example, I was born and raised in a religious household which wasn't strict by any means (in terms of worship) and my parents had no issue with what I learned because they trusted their kid to find out things for himself. I believe this is a good way of doing things and if more parents did this than their kids would come to understand that fact trumps all. For me, I simply grew up and realized that one side was based on issues that cannot be proven while the other wasn't so it was an easy choice. I will say though that I am happy I had the strict education and that the school dictated the kids attend this or that. The reason for that is I believe kids needs order and structure (especially when you're young and someone dies, etc). I consider it in line with Santa Claus and something you simply grow out of once you realize there is no such thing. Point being, it doesn't hurt anyone to learn it but as one grows older and furthers their education they realize it is what it is. The problem is the same areas of the world that are so destructive and ruled by religion are also the same areas that have the worst education systems (non existent to be honest). So... again, there is little chance anything changes unless something forces it to.
Long story short, I am not disagreeing with what you are saying at all except that I feel religion has been a value to society in many ways. Part is me says to myself "what if" a lot when it comes to current social and international issues but the bottom line is nothing is going to change in this specific area unless a war eradicates it or education does away with it. Bar those two scenarios, it's just something that will always be in my view.

This thread is bizarre.
All I know is that I play video games that let me do things I can't do in real life and/or pretend to live in alternate virtual worlds where I can be some dragon slaying badass (cause again, can't do that irl).
For example, In shooters I don't like games like CoD or Battlefield - but I do like stuff like Gears of War or Vanquish because they have the element of fiction. All are shooters, but I have no desire to shoot humans, esp in a modern world setting.
I could care less about something like Wii Tennis, because I can just go play tennis for real. But I like Gran Turismo or FIFA because I can't realistically buy a fleet of exotic cars and race them and I also will never be 11 people nor have my own soccer team.
Personally, I don't think there are too many violent video games, I just don't think there's much value in playing virtual representations of things I could actually do. I mean, why spend hours upon hours doing something virtually if I can do it in real life?
Oh I do like puzzle games though.

I am genuinely sorry but any form of religion is a nonsense. it serves no worthwhile purpose. Now, I am a committed atheist, and I hate the fact it has a word, because it is fact as opposed to bullshit, it should not need a word. There are three things I would comment on:-
1) Some people might argue that Nietzche is a pseudo religion, it is not. The fact that people require a belief does not make nonsense acceptable.
2) The universe is beautiful, we come from star dust, most of what makes us is born from Super Novas, and most of what we are will become fundamental molecules again. That is far more beautiful than any religious personification of things we do not understand.
3) Morality is achieved via being a social animal. Some arrogant fucker who is lining his own pockets by selling morality is detrimental to the human condition.
Anyway, have fun.

Well first of all, I absolutely, 100% agree with #3. My opinion is religion was (basically) the most intelligent people of their time noticing a way to capitalize on the stupidity of others and creating the system to both control the masses and also make themselves powerful/wealthy. From there it just was passed on and on and on. I have been saying this for years so I couldn't agree more. Most recently we see it with the Mormon religion. Dum dum dum dum dummmmmb
There was no indoctrination at all as I said I was given the choice to make up my own mind once I had a clue and my folks didn't mind one bit (in fact I am sure they appreciated not having to pay for a private school any longer). Indoctrination is to be taught or trained something and to accept whatever it is uncritically (some areas of the world have this universally with a no mercy approach that's for sure) so there was nothing of the sort in this case. Usually I am black and white on issues but with this one I actually believe society would be in a much worse position without some forms of it and the entire world would still be trapped in the Middle Ages like some portions of the world.
The only issue I have and have ever had with completely abandoning the possibility (and.. again, I don't practice in any manner but that doesn't mean I don't question things) is the "where did it all start" scenario. I am well aware (through science) on evolution (fact), and well aware of the formation of the universe (fact) and why earth is as unique as it is (fact). However, breaking every single thing down to the very bottom line question, there had to be something that started the entire chain of events throughout the entire galaxy and beyond. I am not saying it is a God of any kind but without knowing what is out there it is currently impossible to know the facts which is my only pause of completely throwing the possibility wayside. I do not believe in miracles, Jesus turning water into wine, walking on water, anything of the sort, and I do not believe prayer does anything except have a placebo effect on the one doing it, I also do not believe the stories about 7 days, etc. What I do believe is that without any supporting evidence we are all of us currently unaware of the true facts about the beginning of everything (and I am not talking about Earth here) and while I doubt we find out in our lifetime, I hope we can, at the least, get some information.
You're bringing me back to my drunk conversation frat days with this one.

Your last line, is entertaining. So you do not adhere to any organised religion, but you are spiritual. While I still do not run with that I accept it. I think that partaking in an organised religion is the utmost wilful ignorance. I think that having a spiritual side to yourself that likes to believe that there is more to life than we understand is a sensible response to the many things we do not know.
But what I think does not matter, what you think is important.
In answer to your question about where did we come from and how was it created- the religious answer is 'escalation'. For God to exist a greater God would have to exist previously. Physics tells us that everything becomes simpler as we move back in time; escalation does not happen, rather simplification. On the most simple level this refutes God on a physical level, but it is quite simplistic.

Hmm, this thread is a classic example of why drinking too much and posting on forums is a bad idea, all sense of reason is missing. Seems pretty common for a Saturday night though.
Arrogant, Condescending, Dismissive, Elitist, "Meany", you speak as if these are bad things?

However, I am not ready to rule out the possibility of some grand being creating everything (kind of like an ant farm but on a galaxy level). This is a dramatic rendition but something like this:
I guess I have my own special ed belief system. I will, from this day forward, call it a "Hybridized Atheistic Mystic Sociopath with a no bullshit clause". I should trademark it quickly before some gongshow group swoops in and pulls a Joseph Smith.

It's discussions like these that make the news with things like Pac Man or the coyote vs. roadrunner cartoons being too violent for kids. I've said it before, and I'll reiterate: people are dumb.

Anyone who truly believes in science and reason would understand that.

He is right though in that people really are dumb and will look to place blame on anything they can get their hands on. The great thing (amazing thing actually) about the gaming community is it is a very bad move to take on this industry as many an "expert" has learned through the years.
The gaming communities come together like nothing I have ever seen before and decimate potential obstacles to their enjoyment. Authors, politicians, feminists and just about every walk of life has tried their hand and every one of them have had their hands bitten off. It is said the rule of thumb is don't go up against agenda's well I think those people have yet to see what happens to those who try to go after the gamer community.

Don't die mad, just die.
Ignoring the argument for the moment; here are some suggestions for OP:
"Dear Esther is a ghost story, told using first-person gaming technologies. Rather than traditional game-play the focus here is on exploration, uncovering the mystery of the island, of who you are and why you are here. Fragments of story are randomly uncovered when exploring the various locations of the island, making every each journey a unique experience. Dear Esther features a stunning, specially commissionedsoundtrack from Jessica Curry."
"It's a game that dares to ask if raw curiosity is enough to keep players absorbed in its seemingly mundane world, and, based on what I played, the answer is an absolute, unequivocal yes."
Journey is an interactive parable, an anonymous online adventure to experience a person's life passage and their intersections with other's.
Portal has been called one of the most innovative games of the decade. A hybrid of FPS style and a new genre of spatial brain teasers, Portal offers hours of totally unique gameplay. Set in the mysterious Aperture Science Laboratories, players must solve physical puzzles and challenges by opening portals, maneuvering objects, and moving themselves through space in ways that used to be impossible.
And the list keeps going:
Braid, Trine, Katamari, Little Big Planet, Minecraft, Quantum Conundrum, all the MLB, NFL, NHL, NCAA and FIFA games, Skate and Tony Hawk games, pretty much any Wii or Wii U games, Angry Birds, Plants vs Zombies, Lego Games, Animal Crossing, Professor Layton, Civilization, Pokemon, Need for Speed, Forza, Gran Turismo, Dance Dance games, Just Dance, Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Kingdom Hearts, Heavy Rain, Murdered: Soul Suspect, etc. etc.
There's TONS of games out there both Indie and AAA that don't focus on violence as your objective.

Notable & Quotable
Tom Sutcliffe says he hadn't previously realized how little Rowan Williams understood or related to the Church of England.
Tom Sutcliffe writing in the U.K. Spectator on Friday, March 16:
Rowan Williams will step down at the end of 2012, having been Primate of All England for a decade. It is already clear that his term of office has been disastrous. Church people have affection for him, respect even. He is not blamed for the disaster, since he is only doing a job he was asked to do—not one he sought. He was a bishop of the Church in Wales almost by accident, because of his academic fame, not because he had ever wanted to be a career bishop. . . .
There was never before an Archbishop of Canterbury who seemed not to believe in that in his bones and in his heart. But Rowan is a Welshman and an intellectual, and believes in the Church of England as merely a part of a much larger historical accident. No other Archbishop would so readily have accepted the downgrading constitutionally implied by Gordon Brown's decision as prime minister to abdicate the choice between two candidates for CofE bishoprics—including Rowan's successor, whoever he or she may be. If it no longer matters to the nation who the CofE chooses on its own account to play this role (what is implied by the deal between the Scottish PM and the Welsh Archbishop), why maintain the charade of establishment, except as some sort of ongoing respect for the small, genuinely convinced element in the population. . . .
I thought I probably knew what kind of Archbishop he would be—less of a witty diplomat than Runcie, but as convincing in his well-articulated spirituality and vision as Michael Ramsay. . . . I did not expect him to abandon the causes in which he had seemed to believe—as he has done—in order to play the chairman above the arguments. I also did not appreciate how very little he understood or related to the Church of England.

Conversion vs Auxillary Lights
I have read everything I can on the subject and still can't decide on which way to go. I
I am mostly concerned with conspicuity - the GS has as good or better headlights than any other bike I've owned and I have never had a problem seeing what I need to see (using UK Vision Plus lamps). It would seem that it would also be pretty hard to miss a GS w/ a HID low beam.
Seems like the HID conversion could be cheaper (even assuming both High and Low beam) than say a set of Micro DE's and a Best Rest Light Bar and easier on the GS's electrical budget, and more integrated - so it should be a no brainer. But I'm concerned about the lamp faults, and I have also read of bulbs "off gassing" and damaging the lens and reflectors, and concerned about brief intermittent use of the high beam. Some body push me over the edge one way or the other!

The 31st Annual Razzie Award nominations are out, and there are quite a few terrible movies nominated this year. Of course, that's the point, since the Razzies only celebrate the worst films, but there's one film that swept every major Razzie category that our readers might disagree with, and that film is Eclipse. The third installment in The Twilight Saga garnered nominations in the Worst Picture, Worst Actor (for both Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner), Worst Actress for Kristen Stewart, Worst Supporting Actor (Jackson Rathbone), Worst On-Screen Ensemble (for the entire cast), Worst Director (David Slade), Worst Screenplay and Worst Prequel/Sequel categories. Ouch.
Some of us at TheFABLife are bigger Twilight fans than others, and while the author of this post personally didn't care for the film that much, we actually thought it was much better than its fellow Razzie nominee, Sex And The City: 2, which was an assault on our senses and good judgment. A full list of Razzie nominees is after the jump. What do you think, was Eclipse unfairly singled out, or were giant wolves fighting Bryce Dallas Howard just that terrible?

virtual memory
)(n.) An imaginary memory area supported by some operating systems (for example, Windows but not DOS) in conjunction with the hardware. You can think of virtual memory as an alternate set of memory addresses. Programs use these virtual addresses rather than real addresses to store instructions and data. When the program is actually executed, the virtual addresses are convertedinto real memory addresses.
The purpose of virtual memory is to enlarge the address space, the set of addresses a program can utilize. For example, virtual memory might contain twice as many addresses as main memory. A program using all of virtual memory, therefore, would not be able to fit in main memory all at once. Nevertheless, the computer could execute such a program by copyinginto main memory those portions of the program needed at any given point during execution.
To facilitate copying virtual memory into real memory, the operating system divides virtual memory into pages, each of which contains a fixed number of addresses. Each page is stored on a diskuntil it is needed. When the page is needed, the operating system copies it from disk to main memory, translating the virtual addresses into real addresses.
The process of translating virtual addresses into real addresses is called mapping. The copying of virtual pages from disk to main memory is known as paging or swapping.

text: A few weeks ago our flight from Bangkok was late. It did not arrive on Phuket until after midnight. With no meter taxis available, we had to deal with the several private taxis that were hassling us for business.Their fares to Kata were 1,800 baht upwards. We normally pay between 500 and 700 baht, but we finally had to accept the offer of a taxi who also wanted to give his friend a lift home.Before setting off, the drivers friend intended to sit in the front seat on top of our suitcase since there was no room elsewhere to sit. We said no and off we went without him.Our taxi driver drove at 140 kilometers per hour all the way, including through red lights, until he finally stopped to buy gas, at which point I told him to slow down.He did, and only drove at 120kmh while sending a text message to someone.I also noticed a car license plate in the seat pocket in the back. Maybe he was now using his private license plate?Is there any control at the airport on who gives you a ride after office hours? What action do the Phuket officials recommend we take if our flight is delayed next time we come to Phuket?

Wildlife - moose
We were amazed how the moose ignored us. We were on the Skyline trail hiking the long way back to our car when twice we came across a solitary moose eating lunch such as this one. She never so much as glanced at us. We could tell that she was aware of us by looking at her ears.
I couldn't decide how close to get. She didn't seem to mind me coming closer, but there were no trees to hide behind if she decided to charge me, so after watching her for a few minutes we left.

Wildlife - grouse
We often came across grouse while hiking. These birds seem to forage on foot, and also did not show much concern about us. Probably realized we would never be able to catch them anyway.
They were hogging the path. After they finished eating all the berries on the path, they moved aside for us.

Judge Janis Graham Jack's Judicial Career Highlights
'94 Begins presiding over a number of civil cases filed by inmates from the recently opened William G. McConnell Correctional Facility in Beeville.
'95 In a summary judgment, Jack says the National Park Service has the right to regulate oil and gas operations at Padre Island National Seashore, including those being contested in a lawsuit by descendants of pioneers to the area. The plaintiffs are the Corpus Christi-based Dunn-McCampbell Royalty Interest, Dunn-Padre Corp. and McCampbell Minerals Inc.
'96 A ruling by Jack removes requirements by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to buy brush land to compensate for expected loss of habitat for the endangered ocelot during the building of a $3 million oil-spill research facility in Flour Bluff.
'97 After a nearly 30-year court battle, Jack dismisses Cisneros et al v. CCISD, saying the desegregation case has forever improved Corpus Christi education. Jose Cisneros and 25 other Hispanic and black members of the United Steelworkers of America charged in 1968 that CCISD was unconstitutionally segregated. In 1970 federal Judge Woodrow Seals ordered the desegregation of the school district, a process that carried on until Jack ruled that the job had been done.
'99 Jack approves more than $190 million in settlements in a conglomeration of whistle-blowers' lawsuits accusing oil companies of underpaying royalty owners, including many from South Texas, during a 12-year period between Jan. 1, 1986, and Sept. 30, 1998. "Oil Daily" notes this marks the end of one of the larger disputes over oil royalties.
'00 Jack clears the way for the trial to begin on a lawsuit alleging Nueces County and the sheriff's department are responsible for the 1997 death of Andrew Sokolinski, who died while in the sheriff's department's custody. Nueces County and the family reach a settlement in the jail death lawsuit on the third day of the civil trial.
'01 Jack approves a settlement between Nueces County and the family of Bobby Stuart, who died in the county jail in 1999. The lawsuit alleged that jail personnel were responsible for Stuart's death after he was beaten, sprayed with pepper spray and confined to a restraining chair. Stuart was arrested on suspicion of public intoxication and criminal mischief.
'02 Jack decides that A&M-Corpus Christi and the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, now the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, are to receive $7.3 million of a Koch settlement to conduct air quality monitoring in Corpus Christi for seven to 10 years. A dispute ends the deal and in 2003 the University of Texas is awarded the money.
'03 Jack sentences convicted murderer Jerry Michael Walters, 35, known as "Iron Man" to his friends in the Aryan Brotherhood gang, to 33 years in prison for his part in the execution-style killing of a man at Padre Island National Seashore. The crime occurred on federally owned land.
'04 Texas Commercial Energy has appealed Jack's ruling that the company's antitrust lawsuit against several electricity-related organizations should be handled by state regulatory agencies.
'05 Two years of silicosis litigation come to an abrupt end when Jack, who has been presiding over the consolidated litigation, either dismisses or returns all of the cases to lower courts. The climax of her involvement comes in a ruling, in which she determined the plaintiffs' attorneys and the doctors involved in diagnosing about 10,000 potentially sick workers with silicosis had hatched a scheme aimed at making money and had no interest in protecting their clients.

GUILDERLAND — The United States Army Corps of Engineers, responsible for cleaning up formerly used defense sites, is seeking community interest in forming a restoration advisory board for the former Army Depot located where the Northeastern Industrial Park is now located.
GUILDERLAND — A Queensbury man with business dealings in Guilderland was arrested last week for allegedly stealing over $1 million from investors.
Each year, the kindergartners at Altamont Elementary School read a book about a real-life girl who had a lemonade stand to fight childhood cancer before she died of it; the funds they raise go to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.
A year ago, villagers protested a consultant's recommendations to close Altamont Elementary School because of declining enrollment. This week, a citizens' task force presented alternatives.
GUILDERLAND — A Utica man was sentenced to seven years in state prison on Friday in Albany County Court for possession of cocaine.

Make It Happen
You can do more than just think about what you would like to achieve. You can take the focused, persistent actions that will make those achievements happen.
You can do more than just wish for a better life. You can decide precisely what would define a better life for you and then work your way steadily toward it.
You can do more than just wait for your problems to go away. You can have the courage to look straight into those problems, and find a way to transform them into opportunities.
You can do so much more than simply waiting and hoping, wishing and wondering. You can gather whatever resources you may have, combine them with your time, your energy, your commitment, and make things happen.
Ever since you were a child, you have been making things happen. It�s an ability that everyone has, yet far too many people make too little use of it.
If you just wait for life to happen to you, you�re probably not going to be very pleased with what comes your way. So get up, get going, take control of the great and wonderful possibilities that are indeed yours, and make the most of every moment.

Yes, Mr. Marston, I hear what you are saying!
SparkPeople says the same thing! "Make It Happen!" is one of our Huddle Quotes. One I like to use...
I'm going to "ramble on" a bit about the journey I've been on, some lessons I've learned.
When I awakened this morning, I was grateful to just "be". In whatever state I am in, at THIS moment. Sneezing. Watery eyed. UGH.
My road has been rocky lately. I had no control over the rocks(situations/circumstances
) placed in my path, but I DO have control over how I approach them, and my attitude towards them.
There are some rocks that you go around, and look back and see they were there to send you in another direction. There are rocks that you crawl over, getting your hands dirty and your soul scratched. But you get over it. You've grown stronger. If you adjusted your attitude in the effort, you are wiser and often a better person. When you see your scars, you know they are there to remind you that you CAN DO IT!
Then there are rocks you explore, and find little chinks in, and you realize you CAN break it down to smaller pieces, and go THROUGH it! As a whole, it may appear to be this huge boulder, but when you stand back and hit it with your hammer of Truth, it can go from mountain to molehill.
YOU are still in one piece!
We can make anything happen... when we exercise control over our minds. It's called DISCIPLINE!
I learned over the past few months, even discipline doesn't always work with my body. It is fearfully and wonderfully made, in ways I do not understand. I'm adjusting my attitude towards my body and as much as I can, I am using discipline to do what is good for my body, no matter how it reacts. I will appreciate the body I have, and if I take care of it to the best of my ability, it will be enough. The outward appearance does not always show the real interior! The scales numbers do not reflect who I am, or really the true state of my body.
I'm not just going to "go with the flow" because my body can only do so much... I'm going to realistically expect more, and I WILL achieve more. Focus on the positives to quiet the negatives. Seek balance for ME.
Sparking has been a strong thread in my days... even if I do not post on some days. Just tracking and reading has kept my hope intact. My teams have kept my hope intact. I want to be healthier and fitter. That's the bottom line.
So, MAKE IT HAPPEN!

So glad to hear you are staying on track Leah! Life sure is a rocky road indeed. I am currently going through a bad spell with new disease activity in my lower spine, shoulders and feet and a very painful elbow problem, but I still get my exercise in as it hurts worse to sit or lay around. Never give in and never give up. Someday they may find something to help me, but I am not waiting around, I will keep on doing the best I can to live a fullfilling life. Its all we can do!
Keep up the great work!
Have a Fantastic Friday and a Wonderful Weekend!

Graham is a 14-year veteran of the NFL. He appeared in all 16 games for New Orleans in 2014, going 19 of 22 on field goals and 46 of 47 on extra points.
Graham, who is entering his 15th season in the league, will earn $970,000 and Haralson, entering his 10th season, will earn $870,000.
Graham went 19 of 22 on field goals in 2014 with a long of 50 yards and also went 46 of 47 on extra points. Haralson totaled 35 tackles for the Saints in 2014 with three sacks.
Graham is in his second stint with the Saints. He was cut in the 2000 preseason without appearing in a regular-season game. He rejoined the team in December, 2013 and was the team's kicker all last season.
New Orleans will face Tampa Bay in Week 17.
He added four PATs for seven points. Graham plays the Falcons on Sunday.
Kickers who worked out for the Saints included: Garrett Hartley, Derek Dimke and Zach Hocker.
Hartley, who was released by the team last December, was New Orleans' kicker during their 2009 Super Bowl run.
Graham did nail a 41-yarder in the third and boot through his lone extra point attempt.
It was only the third time this season that Graham did not attempt a field goal.
The Saints will face the Panthers in Week 14.
Graham knocked down a 31-yard field goal in the first quarter for his only attempt of the afternoon. He added an extra point, registering four points in the loss. He has converted 15 of 16 field goal attempts this season.
The Saints host the Bengals in Week 11.
The Saints will host the 49ers in Week 10.
He added two PATs for an 11-point outing. Graham faces the Packers in Week 8.
Graham made field goals of 29 and 30 yards in the first quarter, and then tied the game at 31 with a 44-yard field goal with 2:30 left in the fourth quarter.
The Saints are back in action Week 7 at Detroit. The team is on a bye Week 6.
Graham booted a 27-yard field goal in his lone attempt and added three extra points in the loss to Cleveland.
He should continue to benefit from the Saints' high-scoring offense Week 2 at Cleveland.
Among the offense players let go are center Matt Armstrong, wide receivers Seantavius Jones , Brandon Coleman and Charles Hawkins, tight end Nic Jacobs, guards Jason Weaver and Marcel Jones, tackles Tavon Rooks and Thomas Welch and running backs Greg Jones and Derrick Strozier.
The defenders cut loose are cornerbacks Trevin Wade, Terrence Frederick and Derrius Brooks, linebackers Keyunta Dawson and Todd Davis, tackle Lawrence Virgil, safety Pierre Warren.
Placekickers Shayne Graham and Derek Dimke are also out.
Graham connected on both of his field-goal attempts in the regular season and 4 of 6 in the postseason, while making 10 extra-point attempts.
Graham missed two field goal attempts. The first just missed left from 45 yards out in the first quarter, but it must be pointed out that the holder placed the laces forward. His second attempt was way off from 48 yards and proved to be a key miss in the fourth quarter.
He did squib an onside kick that his team recovered with time running out, but it did not result in the completion of a comeback.
Graham's 32-yard field goal at the buzzer beat the Eagles in the wild card round. It was his first game-winner in six career playoff games. He'll visit Seattle in Saturday's divisional playoffs.
Graham got to work early, hitting both his field goals in the first quarter. He was successful from 24 and 40 yards out. Graham also had one extra point attempt in the game. Graham will take on the Buccaneers Week 17.
Graham hit 31 of 38 field goals for Houston last year.
The Browns still have placekicker Brandon Bogotay on the roster.
Coach Rob Chudzinski alluded to a kicking competition between the two, something that might last into the preseason, according to ESPN.

Lowe's Earns Fourth Consecutive ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award13:50 EST Tuesday, March 05, 2013 MOORESVILLE, N.C. (Business Wire) -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has named Lowe's winner of the ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award for the fourth consecutive year. The 2013 award recognizes Lowe's long-standing leadership as a retailer of energy-efficient appliances and products. Lowe's will receive the EPA's most prestigious honor at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., on March 26. Lowe's is the only company to win multiple Sustained Excellence Awards in the product retailer category since the award's inception in 2004. The company is being honored for outstanding achievements year after year in customer outreach, employee training and product selection. Lowe's has won 11 consecutive ENERGY STAR awards (2003-2013) for product retailing, more than any other retailer. "Lowe's support of ENERGY STAR complements our philosophy to never stop improving," said Tom Lamb, Lowe's chief marketing officer.

"EPA is recognizing Lowe's for earning EPA's highest ENERGY STAR award – the 2013 Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award," said Bob Perciasepe, acting administrator, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. "Lowe's leads the field with their commitment to energy efficiency and demonstrates how all Americans can save energy, save money and create a healthier environment." Nearly 20,000 partners across the U.S. participate in the ENERGY STAR program, and only organizations that have won multiple Partner of the Year awards are eligible for the Sustained Excellence Award.

Your look at icicles (24/31 December 2011, p 60) reminded me of a spiral form I spotted. It had made one-and-a-half turns by the time I saw it. Water dripped down from an overhang onto a sprig of heather. This was next to a remote lane at a bend where the wind blew constantly, making the heather swirl continually.
It was in Banagher Glen in Londonderry, UK, during the long winter freeze of 1961-1962. I had never seen one before or since, nor indeed have any of my friends. Can writer Michael Brooks confirm the rarity of the spiral icicle?
The editor writes:
• Yes, he can.

Reducing poverty: spreading the word. (World Bank policies for reducing poverty)(includes related article): An article from: Finance & Development
This digital document is an article from Finance & Development, published by International Monetary Fund on December 1, 1992. The length of the article is 2523 words. The page length shown above is based on a typical 300-word page. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Digital Locker immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.From the supplier: World Bank policies for poverty reduction indicate that countries should invest in basic social services, promote efficient and sustainable growth and eliminate policy distortions that prejudice the poor's interests. Based on the Bank's World Development Report (WDR) 1990 it was shown that countries successful in decreasing poverty used a two-pronged approach with policies that promote efficient growth through labor and public expenditures and institutions that provide equitable access to education, health care and other social services. The need for social safety nets for vulnerable groups in society was also emphasized. In line with this, the Bank has issued the Assistance Strategies to Reduce Poverty policy paper, the Poverty Reduction Handbook and an operational directive on poverty reduction to provide guidelines for the application of the approaches prescribed in the WDR 1990.Citation DetailsTitle: Reducing poverty: spreading the word.

New Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Francisco Liriano had his contract thrown into question this winter after he was reportedly injured in the Dominican Republic. Eventually, news trickled in that Liriano broke his right (non-throwing) arm, and that his contract with the Pirates would still be valid, though Liriano would receive less money if he missed time in 2013 or 2014 because of the arm injury. Now, we know what happened with Liriano's arm: he fell in the bathroom days after agreeing to the contract with the Pirates, but before completing his physical with the team. Liriano fractured the humerus in his right arm, and is in a cast. There's no word on how Liriano fell, but considering it was in the bathroom, I'd assume that a wet floor or a rogue bath mat is to blame in this situation. It's never easy for the Pirates, is it? They attempt to make a splash in free agency and bolster their rotation, and a freak injury like this happens. The signing of Liriano was a high risk, high reward one for the Pirates at the time, but with the modifications to his contract, a lot of the risk is gone for Pittsburgh. Go ahead and add this situation to the list of bizarre injuries in baseball history. [El Caribe] [follow]

I love running, dancing, and SEC football :)
I'm in Finance and have been in finance my whole life. Something about numbers fascinated me from an early age and once I found out that finance and numbers meant money- making it, counting it, spending it- I never thought about another career. True story- I took calculus in the third grade! My mom attributes it to playing classical music to me as a child- I just tell her it's because I'm no dummy. I love running, dancing, and SEC football. I mostly love running alone because it gives me the space to relieve stress and take a break from everything. I enjoy dancing and I'm not picky about where. If you ever expect me to miss a game for something and no one has died, you better hope I REALLY like you :) I plan to always be fit and toned and physical attraction is very important to me so an ideal partner would also love working out and staying in shape. I'm looking for a man who is genuine and honest, can laugh in any situation, loves the outdoors and traveling, and isn't intimidated by a girl in very high heels :) ...beyond that, I'm brand new to Michigan, so let's grab drinks.
Alumni connections , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Dancing, Running, Tennis / Racquet sports, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
I grew up with a house full of dogs and cats - I love both but am allergic to cats
Some other viewpoint
My favorite places to be are outdoors doing anything (whether it be at the beach, snowboarding, or just at brunch) and anywhere outside the Unites States

I love traveling and thinking about all the places I want to go and who I can get to go with me. I've lived all over the US and travel a lot internationally, mostly for work (Netherlands, Singapore, Japan, China, Germany, Brazil, Italy, Mexico).

Vacuum Cleaner Belts
Did you know that proper maintenance can extend the life of your vacuum cleaner? One of the most basic maintenance items is belt maintenance. It is crucial part in your cleaning system that connects your motor to the brush roll. To check this, you need to remove the bottom plate and place a finger under the best to feel if it is taut. If you find that it's not, and it is showing signs of wear, it is time to replace it. While it is recommended you change vacuum belts once or twice a year, the frequency will actually depend on how often you use your vacuum cleaner. Frequent use makes it prone to cracks, sagging and other forms of damage. The motor is unable to turn a belt that does not have good traction on the brush roll. As a result, your vacuum does not clean up to its potential.
Looking for belts for your vacuum cleaning system? At GoVacuum, we recommend customers reduce the risk for vacuum repairs in the long-term by regularly checking the internal parts including belt, bag and hose regularly. While our advice represents general care and maintenance, we also stock a wide range of vacuum cleaner accessories including belts for a wide range of cleaners and ensure that your vacuum cleaner performs according to your needs!

|Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
The Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Latin: Ancillae Cordis Iesu; Spanish: Esclavas del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús) is a Roman Catholic religious institute that was founded in Madrid, Spain, in 1877 by two sisters, María Dolores and Raphaela Maria Porras y Ayllon. Rafaela Maria became its first superior general in 1877 and in the same year, the congregation received papal approval. The focus of the institute is on "children's education and helping at retreats", reflected in its 140 convents in 23 countries, and the number of schools that it has founded.
Members of the institute carry the letters A.C.I. or A.C.J., after their names.

Rafaela Maria Porras y Allyon[edit]
Ra faela maria porras born in Pedro Abad, Spain, on March 1, 1850. She was the youngest of seven children of well-to-do, pious parents, Ildefonso and Rafaela (Ayllón y Castillo) Porras. She and her sister, María Dolores, entered the novitiate of the Sisters of Mary Reparatrix,[2] where Dolores was given the name of Sister María del Pilar, but they were denied from taking religious vows by the actions of the local bishop, which forced them to move to Madrid. In 1877, under the authority of the Cardinal Archbishop of Toledo, the sisters took their vows and founded the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
After serving as the first Superior General, Rafaela resigned in 1893, spending the next 32 years in prayer and contemplation at the congregation's house in Rome. She died in Rome, on the 25th of January, 1925.
Rafaela Maria Porras y Ayllon was beatified by Pope Pius XII in 1952 and canonized in 1977 by Pope Paul VI.
Communities of the Sacred Heart[edit]

First playoff baseball in what seems like a lifetime. I have been up since 5:30. 5:07 pm can't get here soon enough!! GOOOOO Reds!!
First playoff baseball in what seems like a lifetime. I have been up since 5:30. 5:07 pm can't get here soon enough!! GOOOOO Reds!!
This post is BABIP-lucky.
I woke up at 6:30 and popped right up. I'm 22 years old. I don't remember 1995. THIS, is what I've been waiting for.
2010 Attendance Record: 7-4
2009 Attendance Record: 14-16
Stop! Homer time!!
I remember '95, but I was in my first year away at college (so really I don't remember it). I haven't been this excited about baseball in October since 1990, and for the first time I get to go to a post-season baseball game (Sunday). As for today, I get off work at 4:00, race to get the kids out of pre-school and sit my tail down in front of the TV. WooHoo, I can't wait.
What if this is as good as it gets?
I'm (unfortunately??) old enough to remember '90 quite well. There were so many great moments in that entire playoff series....
Here's hoping we get a few more this year.
Sto Pro Veritate
60 degrees and a chance of rain all night tonight. Wind around 5mph. In case anyone is interested, the rain could play a factor.
I've already started practicing most comfortable way to sit on the couch with laptop by my side. I only have to finalize snacks to eat and a beverage list.
In 1990, I was in elementary school. I remember the kids on the school bus taunting me, telling me the A's would dominate. And honestly, I believed them. You know what happened next.
I feel like I did on the school bus before the World Series started. Everyone tells me the Reds can't beat the Phillies. But now I know better.
I wiil be in the upper deck behind home plate today. First playoff game I have ever seen, should be an experience.
I feel obligated to chime in about my excitement...
21 years old, went out last night, got very drunk and woke up at 8 and my first thought was not about my hangover or wanting water...it was "HOLY CRAP THE REDS PLAY AT 5"
Today is going extremely slow!!! Will 5:07pm ever get here???
no reason to even watch.. aaron boone and curt schilling said on Baseball tonight that the Reds were going to get swept.. lol

Training classes help seniors learn with their cell phonesStory | Sep 3, 2010Marie Toth didn't understand how call-waiting worked on her cell phone. The 77-year-old hated hanging up on someone when she got another call. She doesn't have to do that anymore. AT&T sales representative Jonathan Angilusso, who volunteers his time to help older adults navigate their cell phones, showed her what to do.

Gastroenterologists in the United States can expect to earn a very generous salary, with average salaries (in the ballpark of $298K) surpassing six figures annually. Residence is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by years of experience. Most Gastroenterologists report high levels of job satisfaction. Most enjoy medical while the larger part get dental coverage. Vision coverage is also available to a little less than one-half. Among survey respondents, men are more common than women; 81 percent of Gastroenterologists are male. Respondents to the PayScale salary survey provided the data for this report.

Salaries of relatively inexperienced workers fall in the neighborhood of $293K, but folks who have racked up five to 10 years see a notably higher median of $305K. People with 10 to 20 years of experience make an average of about $310K in this role. People who have worked for 20 years or more actually report earning less than people who are in the middle of their careers; the veterans take home a mere $304K by contrast.

Cyclone will probably add more later - maybe he didn't do it this time because the Reds won a series when he DIDN'T do a preview.
I refuse to call them the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. They were never the Anaheim Rams, they were the Los Angeles Rams.
This is the best team in baseball, arguably, right now. Sure it's June, but you have to think the Angels will be up there all year long.
Lifetime - the Reds are 1-2 against the Angels. Following the 12:35 get-away day on Thursday, the Angels will head back to Southern California and a weekend series against the cross-town Dodgers.
Probable Pitchers - courtesy of reds.com
Sorry folks, no Dustin Moseley sighting until this weekend.Tuesday, June 12 - 7:10PM
LAA Kelvim Escobar, RHP (7-3, 2.76)
CIN Bronson Arroyo, RHP (2-7, 5.01)
Scouting Report:
Angels: A complete-game decision over the Twins on Tuesday night enhances Escobar's candidacy for the All-Star Game. He held Minnesota to a Torii Hunter home run and two other hits while throwing 77 strikes with 107 pitches. His fastball command was superb, and his off-speed stuff complemented it beautifully. Two off-days give the confident veteran extra rest for Cincinnati. He threw a shutout in his only career outing against the Reds, at Great American Ballpark.
Reds: In the Reds' 6-4 loss to the Cardinals on Wednesday, Arroyo gave up six earned runs over 6 2/3 innings. The right-hander is 0-5 with an 8.24 ERA over his past six starts, and owns a 13.25 ERA in the last four. Although mistakes hurt him, including two seventh inning homers, Arroyo feels like his stuff has been pretty good during the skid.
Wednesday, June 13 7:10 PM
LAA John Lackey, RHP (9-4, 2.60)
CIN Kyle Lohse, RHP (3-7, 4.22)
Scouting Report:
Angels: For one rare occasion, the Angels' sturdy defense buckled behind Lackey, creating extra outs with misplays that contributed to a loss against the Twins on Thursday. The the big right-hander was trying to become the Majors' first 10-game winner. He was unhappy with only one pitch, a breaking ball Michael Cuddyer hit into the seats, while giving up seven hits for four earned runs over seven innings. Lackey is facing the Reds for the first time in his career.
Reds: After suffering through a string of six straight losses, Lohse has shown better control and greater consistency in his past three starts. In his most recent outing, against St. Louis on Thursday, he took a shutout into the ninth inning before finishing the night allowing one earned run and seven hits over 8 1/3 frames to take the win in a 5-1 Reds win.
Thursday, June 14 12:35 PM ET
LAA Bartolo Colon, RHP (5-2, 5.70)
CIN Homer Bailey, RHP (1-0, 3.60)
Scouting Report:
Angels: Colon has fallen on lean times. After a blazing start that had the veteran right-hander 5-0 with a 3.69 ERA after six starts, he's yielded 28 hits and 18 earned runs in 15 innings over his past three outings, with extra rest between two of the starts because of triceps tendonitis in his pitching arm. Colon isn't getting the natural sink and movement in his fastball he needs to induce groundouts, and hitters are elevating fastballs up in the hitting zone -- see the three Cardinals homers in the first three innings on Friday night in St. Louis, where he lasted only four frames in giving up four earned runs on seven hits. Colon is 2-0 in two career starts against the Reds with a 0.69 ERA.
Reds: Bailey was given a welcome to remember in his first career start on Friday against the Indians in Cincinnati. After raucous applause greeted him to start the game, Bailey did not disappoint the nearly sellout crowd at Great American Ball Park, giving up two earned runs on five hits over five innings of poised work to get the win in a 4-3 Reds victory.
Los Angeles Angels potential starting lineups (NOT BATTING LINEUPS)
1B - Casey Kotchman .323/7/32/.407/.538
2B - Howie Kendrick .272/3/7/.314/.412
SS - Orlando Cabrera .335/3/35/.380/.452
3B - Chone Figgins .252/1/13/.299/.319
LF - Garrett Anderson .269/3/14/.270/.429
CF - Gary Matthews, Jr. .286/8/38/.343/.452
RF - Vladimir Guerrero .335/12/54/.437/.578
C - Mike Napoli .266/7/24/.358/.496
You may have a Shea Hillenbrand sighting at first base as well since there is no DH.
CYCLONE'S FEARLESS PREDICTION - Ask him, but I think the Reds will take one game of the series.

MDA received satisfaction ratings of 9 or 10 out of 10 from 87 percent of their permanent and temporary employees, significantly higher than the industry's average of 48 percent. MDA also received satisfaction ratings of 9 or 10 out of 10 from nearly 82 percent of their clients, significantly higher than the industry's average of 39 percent.
Presented in partnership with CareerBuilder, the fourth annual Best of Staffing lists provide the only statistically valid, objective, service quality benchmarks in the industry and reveal which staffing agencies are delivering exceptional service to their clients and the permanent and temporary candidates for whom they find assignments. Utilizing the Net Promoter® methodology, the 2013 Best of Staffing winners achieved satisfaction scores more than double the industry average. This stark contrast in scores is a clear indication that the firms who have earned their way onto the 2013 Best of Staffing lists truly stand out for their service quality.
"Trust is an essential part of the healthcare industry, and we are proud to receive this honor because it demonstrates the trust we have earned from locum tenens providers in multiple specialties and the facilities where they serve," said MDA President Jim Ginter. "Since 1987, the entire team here at MDA has focused on providing the best possible experience and the highest quality service in the industry, and it is accolades like these that only reinforce the importance of continuing to achieve that goal."
"Few things are more important to companies than the employees you hire," said Inavero Founder and CEO, Eric Gregg. "The same holds true for candidates on their quest for employment. Staffing agencies have proven to successfully connect companies with permanent and temporary employees. Since the end of the recession, the staffing and recruiting industry has created more jobs than any other single industry in the country**, yet so many companies and job candidates don't take advantage of this expertise and resource. Our hope is that both companies and talent use the Best of Staffing lists as a benchmark to help select a staffing agency that can either secure the talent or employment opportunity they need."
Inavero's complete Best of Staffing winners lists can be viewed at www.bestofstaffing.com.
