*Note the part in the article about having to sign up to comment has been rescinded as of 2010. Now you just need to get your first comment approved.
There are going to be changes coming on this World and Church Trends and Bible Prophecy Blog.
You might wonder why someone would even start a Christian blog that would allows anyone in the world to make comments? I like writing the articles but the criticism that often comes from Christians with liberal or aberrant views is a pain in the butt and often seems to be a planned disruption or a diversion from the person making the comment.
The facts are that only a small segment of Christians even take Bible prophecy as literal future events on the earth. And there is a segment of Christians that prowl the Internet looking for blogs in order to change every topic to be an argument for their own theology, if you allow them. Of course, the non Christians also want to put in their two cents but why would they have anything to offer on Christian topics? Those who think that non Christians actually come to Christian blogs to find truth or salvation in Jesus Christ are pretty naive.
So today I am wondering why I should even allow comments from anyone out there that I will have to closely monitor. If I am going to allow comments at all it should only be from trusted people.
When I first started blogging I actually thought interaction would bring new information and another dimension to my Blogs but I am actually finding out that it really just wastes much of my time. I know if I were writing articles for my website rather than my Blog I would not be answering comments on them unless someone emailed me and I thought their question or comment merited the time I needed to spend to respond. But on my past Blog comments anyone could say anything at all to all the world and they did. What they said often made it necessary for me to make a response. Then more often than not they wish to turn my response to them into a endless debate on issues often totally unrelated to the post. I do not have the time for that unless one of those thousands of persons that know that Jesus will come back in one to three years is willing to depart from their earthly money that they know they will not need and send me that million bucks so I can hire a staff. 😛
Therefore, I am going to change my commenting policy. As of right now people will have to register and log in to comment on this Blog. The registration and login links are on the bottom of the side bar under the title Meta. First you register with a user name and email address and then after that you get your password and you log in. Then you can comment but your first post will not be posted until I reviewed it. After that they will be posted instantly unless you get caught in a spam or bad behavior filter.
That will eliminate 90 percent of the garbage. The score or two of people that make useful comments and adding good information to the blog topics will still be able to do so if they register. Since most of these people are astute I will not normally have to comment back to them unless they are asking me something or I see things quite differently from what they said.
I did not want to restrict people from making comments on this Blog but I see you must or else you will spend a lot of your time just doing moderation, or if you do not moderate the Blog topics will soon get off track and degenerate. If you ever read the comments on Fox News articles you will see it does not take long for loosely monitored comments to degenerates into endless arguments and mud slinging. I guess you cannot change the nature of the demented human race.
Believe it or not, less comments on this Blog will not hurt the rankings of My Blog or the visits to this Blog one iota. In fact, I suspect that a long comment section dilutes the key words and could make the topic rank worse in the search engine indexes. Some of my visitors come here directly because they put this Blog it in their "favorites" but the vast majority actually come to this Blog through key word searches on Google on specific words in my articles, like "Enoch Bible" or "Muslim Antichrist". That will continue no matter if I allow comments or not. So I really do not need comments to get more traffic to this Blog. What I really need to get more traffic is to write more good key worded articles but I cannot be writing articles if I am wasting my time on people who make comments on Blogs as their main mission in life.
While I am talking about the changes to my Blog. Your going to see far less links and long articles like the last post, because it is apparent that few people actually follow the links to read the articles. Most people these days do not have a long attention span. So what I post in the future will be more like my other recent posts.

Well, I'm a new comer here but I have been around awhile. Kinda taking it easy, gettin' my feet on the ground so to speak.
This is a great site where you can express your opinions and generally get good feedback, which evolves, into a healthy discussion. Course, some people have a problem with feedback, if it is negative. Yes, some feedback may not be warranted and more like a reprisal. This usually starts an argument. It is best just to agree that you disagree and leave it at that. However, that is easier said than done and takes an effort on those involved to take the proper perspective and let it lay, so to speak. Name-calling is a NO-NO, that will not get you anywhere. Calling people idiots, pricks, or worse is not a good practice and I dare say if it were a face-to-face discussion you would avoid such tactics.
It is always best to show a positive respectful attitude toward others in any discussion. You will not get everyone to see it your way, so just accept it. Just try to be as helpful and understanding as you can and enjoy the various discussions you get involved in.
Now when a person takes on the mods you are stepping on thin ice. The mods put in a lot of time into keeping the forums from getting out of hand; keeping things as best they can, in perspective. They are very active in the forums and are very tolerant, but step in when needed. IMO, they should be commended and not abused.
I have watched this forum for sometime now and recently accepted a position on the staff at nV News. If you go by my number of posts you can call me a noobie...I don't mind. I have a past history with several thousand posts elsewhere and have been around as long as most of the other 'regulars' here at nV News. I have a hundred or so ratings on eBay and they are all positive. All of this means nothing; I have to perform to standards required of a staff member in the best interest of nV News and its membership. Likewise, individual members have the responsibility of abiding by the rules that have been set up to govern the forums.
This is a community where individuals are free to express themselves (with certain restrictions), ask for help, and give assistance to those who ask. Rash statements and unfounded criticism will probably not be receptive. In fact, over the past couple of weeks I have noted several instances where the mods have acted quickly and efficiently.
I have not said much till now so I apologize for the long post but in lieu of the most recent discussion in reference to the moderators I thought it was time to make a statement.
Well said buddy:)
The repeats on BBC2, are still damn funny.
Can't wait for the movie, or even the complete DVD collection.
Rytr, IMO you are definitely doing a good job there of representing nvnews staff with that post...
I share your opinions, and thank you for your compliments on the quality of the moderating...
I personally put a lot of my time and a lot of myself into nvnews... yeh, I may only average 3.1 posts per day, but I try to make my posts mean something... and as far as moderating... well, this is my first time moderating (been at it for 3 months now :) ), but I think I'm doin an ok job... I've learned a lot from volt, vamp, the baron, and others... (as well as saturnotaku, for even tho he's not a mod here any more, he's the one who made me understand the basics, and I thank him for that)...
I feel that almost all members here have a great deal of respect for us mods... though sometimes they forget that although vamp has Mr. Flibble, ALL the mods have Flibble Sticks... ;)...
I'm very happy that I rarely have to use it tho... I'm too busy enjoying myself here... :D:D

Immigrants find way into Memphis distribution economy through staffing agencies
This article is part of an occasional series examining the impact of immigration on Memphis and the Mid-South
Williams-Sonoma, a high-end retailer of everything from candlesticks to mahogany dining tables, produced $3.7 billion in sales last year. Christina Arce, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, says she helped generate some of that revenue.
For years, Arce says, her life revolved around her job at one of Memphis' huge warehouses -- sewing monograms onto backpacks, sheets, pillowcases and other goods for Williams-Sonoma.
Previous immigration storiesMainstream Memphis often misses connection with city's Spanish-speaking subculture
For years, businesses have shielded illegal immigrants
Most workers in the monogram department, Arce asserts, were Hispanic immigrants sent by a staffing agency -- just like she was.
"Fortunately for them," Arce said, "we're the workforce that's bringing Williams forward."
Battalions of immigrants from Mexico and central America are an unseen force at the bottom rungs of the Memphis area's most important industry, distribution. They're participating in a sector that's booming as increased international trade has led big corporations to set up mega-warehouses here to distribute goods nationwide.
In recent years, the demand for labor to feed the gargantuan appetites of the American consumer has led many companies to use immigrants hired through staffing agencies. No hard numbers exist, but there are likely thousands. Many are here legally, but many lack legal status, which raises questions about exploitation and competition with unskilled Americans.
An army of temps
When San Francisco-based Williams-Sonoma announced, in 1983, that it planned to place distribution operations in the city, it was a major coup for local leaders trying to transform Memphis into a global logistics hub. Williams-Sonoma now occupies 4.8 million square feet at several facilities in Olive Branch and Memphis that supply retail stores and fulfill catalog orders for brands like Pottery Barn.
The firm needs workers for time-sensitive tasks like monograms and packaging, and it relies heavily on temporary workers to manage seasonal demand.
Williams-Sonoma declined repeated interview requests but released a short statement.
"We value our workforce and, to maintain our success and reputation, we take every measure possible to ensure our compliance with laws and regulations regarding hiring and all other aspects of our business," it reads in part. The firm uses audits to ensure the legality and fairness of its hiring practices and those of the companies that serve it.
Arce said her temporary assignment lasted for years. Now 36, she grew up in Jilotepec in central Mexico as one of eight children and said she struggled economically despite professional training as a nurse and a secretary. One of her last jobs in Mexico was sewing together shirts six days a week for 350 pesos, or roughly $35.
Then she met a smuggler "who told me that there was work, that here the construction workers make a lot of money, that they have a car in the garage. That they have a house," she said in Spanish. "You think 'Wow! Then I'm going!'"
Arce is dark-eyed and round-faced and wore carefully applied lipstick in recent interviews.
She said a group of 13 -- 11 men, two women -- spent a week walking at night to cross the border. A car took her to Memphis, where the smuggler placed her in an apartment with other immigrants. She said she arrived in April 2000 and paid a $1,500 fee over time.
"The first impression is that you're scared," she said. "Because you don't know how to -- well, it's as if you've arrived on another planet."
Her ticket to the American economy cost $120 -- the cost of a manufactured ID card and a document with an invented Social Security number.
Without access to transportation -- and unable to speak English -- she walked in search of work. Despite her illegal immigration status and forged paperwork, she had a good chance of finding it.
Although hiring illegal immigrants has been against the law since 1986, it is hard to enforce because authorities must show that employers are "knowingly" hiring illegal immigrants.
Employers must ask workers for documents showing they can work legally, but they don't have to confirm that the documents are real. In many cases, employers who hire illegal immigrants aren't breaking the law.
Arce's fake documents and another immigrant's help quickly led to a $6.50 per hour job as a kitchen aide in a restaurant.
She says she also worked for a time in a pillow factory before turning to a staffing agency.
These temporary agencies -- there were 135 active in Memphis in 2005 -- are an economic lifeline for new immigrants, and many agencies recruit Hispanic workers by advertising in Spanish-language media, with bilingual recruiters and by training and supervising in Spanish.
Social scientists at the University of Memphis, in articles published between 2003 and 2006, concluded that many local staffing agencies accepted low-quality fake identification.
Marcela Mendoza, an Argentinian anthropologist, negotiated inside access to warehouses and temporary agencies, and she and other researchers confirmed that many immigrant workers were here illegally.
Although no reliable data exist on total numbers of Hispanic workers in Memphis warehouses, federal data from 2006 found that one in four warehouse workers in the U.S. was Hispanic.
The researchers said that FedEx Corp., the city's largest employer, paid good wages and benefits, and found no evidence that the firm was hiring illegal immigrants. The Commercial Appeal's inquiry reached the same result.
But Memphis' big warehouses are located here because of FedEx, and many have long used temporary agencies to manage surges in volume.
Researchers also said using temps lets the companies avoid responsibility for hiring illegal immigrants, whose motivation to work and vulnerable status made them ideal for industry based on the unpredictable rhythms of global trade.
According to a 2005 article: "Lacking fringe benefits such as health insurance and pensions, as well as ... sick leave and paid vacations, Latino immigrants may be hired briefly, cheaply and flexibly."
Arce's path to the warehouse sector went initially through the Manpower staffing agency.
Manpower declined comment, but Arce said the firm sent her to Williams-Sonoma. But after three months, her bad Social Security number was found.
Every year, the Social Security Administration sends "no match" letters to employers and employees explaining problems with specific Social Security numbers. The letters can result from clerical errors but often are related to fake documents.
For years, employers didn't have explicit instructions on what to do. But this summer, the Bush administration issued new rules requiring employers to fire workers who cannot clarify discrepancies within three months. But a coalition that included labor unions and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce filed suit, and a federal judge earlier this month put an indefinite hold on implementation of the new rules, saying they would harm innocent workers and employers.
Back to work
It wasn't long before Arce returned to Williams-Sonoma -- this time, she said, by using the same fake number to sign up with locally owned ASAP Staffing Services.
Arce and other immigrants say staffing agencies know that applicants use fake identification to obtain jobs.
"They know going in that you're mojado, as they say -- to put it in an ugly way," she said, using a Mexican slang term, "wet," for illegal immigrants. "But even knowing that, they hire us. For that reason I also think that it's a very low salary."
Arce says the company is exploiting illegal immigrants by reducing the starting wage from $9 per hour for all monogram positions to $7 and $8 for some new workers. The conditions led American-born workers to leave, and immigrants became a bigger part of the workforce, she said.
"Although they treat us badly, we continue there because we have to put up with it," she said.
Bob Phillips, vice president and general manager of ASAP Staffing Services, strongly denied that ASAP knowingly hires illegal immigrants. He said the firm runs background checks, turns away those with fake documents and fires employees it discovers used false papers.
Last month the agency started using the government's E-Verify system to confirm Social Security numbers, he said.
Phillips wouldn't confirm that any given employee had worked for his company or that ASAP has a contract with Williams-Sonoma. It was unclear precisely when Arce started working for the firm. However, Arce has an ASAP award certificate given to her in April 2006 for perfect attendance, and others confirmed parts of her story.
Two illegal immigrants, including one who works in the firm's monogram division, said they used fake documents to obtain jobs at Williams-Sonoma through ASAP.
Christopher Perez, 26, a legal immigrant from Mexico who formerly worked for ASAP in Williams-Sonoma's monogram division, said most of the machine operators are Hispanic but that he never asked about their legal status.
According to Cesar Yzaguirre, 46, a naturalized citizen from Peru who said he works for ASAP at Williams-Sonoma, the firm's labor force is overwhelmingly Hispanic. "Williams-Sonoma, they have like 20 percent people from here," he said. "Eighty percent, immigrants."
Like Arce, he said his pay has remained at $9 for the nearly two years that he has worked there. He said new workers are starting at $7.50 and said some of the temp workers at Williams-Sonoma have discussed their illegal status with him.
Some immigrants are unwilling to complain about working conditions. Arce, however, says she did just that, and it led to her eventual departure.
Arce said she had been responsible for operating sewing machines that automatically stitched personalized monograms onto Williams-Sonoma products. On most days she rose at 3 a.m. to arrive for the start of her 4 a.m. shift.
She said her problems started last year when a new manager demanded increased production. She complained to managers, in broken English, that she wasn't paid for the extra work.
She said this angered them and that in June, she was demoted to a position as a "clipper" who cleans up the monograms.
So she resigned.
Phillips wouldn't comment on specifics, but insists ASAP pays employees well and has few worker complaints.
"I walk away from business where customers don't value the employee," he said. "If the employee is just a body to them, I don't want to be part of that customer's equation for staffing."
Day laborers
Williams-Sonoma is the largest company-owned distribution operator in the Memphis area, according to statistics compiled by the Memphis Business Journal. The second largest is Technicolor Home Entertainment Services, a division of French media conglomerate Thomson, whose Memphis operations distribute millions of CDs and DVDs for media giants like Disney, Paramount and Universal.
Technicolor operates a total of 3.9 million square feet in eight facilities in the Memphis area. It has roughly 2,600 permanent employees and is offering signing bonuses in its efforts to attract 200 more. During busy times, the firm can hire more than 3,000 temps.
At 4:38 a.m. on a Friday morning in August, a blinking white strobe light helped temps find their way through the predawn darkness to a small door in the side of Technicolor's Memphis Oaks facility on Holmes Road.
Over the next hour, more than 100 people, most of them Hispanic immigrants, filled a cafeteria. They arrive long before the scheduled 6 a.m. start of the shift because they know sometimes only a few will receive jobs, which start at $7 per hour.
In essence, it's a day labor market. But it's one that a staffing agency manages for a multinational firm that last year showed revenues of 5.9 billion Euros, or $7.4 billion.
A similar scene regularly plays just down the road, where workers in blue shirts wait outside another Technicolor facility that distributes Microsoft products including X-Box games and antivirus software.
Technicolor's operations are an extreme example of a larger trend. Warehouse companies rarely need the same number of workers year-round. Technicolor, which is subject both to the busy holiday season and unexpected orders from studios, recalculates each day how many workers it will need for its 24-hour operations. Sometimes it guesses wrong and sends workers home.
Select Staffing of Santa Barbara, Calif., provides workers to the Memphis Oaks facility, and Staff Line, a Memphis-based firm, supplies workers to the Microsoft facility.
Representatives of Technicolor and the staffing agencies involved recognize how waits frustrate workers but say they're necessary for security.
Select calls more workers than it needs because many don't show up, said Mary H. Collier, vice president of human resources for Technicolor Home Entertainment Services.
Melissa Porter, Select's executive vice president, said workers are rarely turned away.
Rod Rodriguez, Staff Line's executive director, said workers standing in line outside the Microsoft facility have been assigned to work and aren't competing for jobs, though he said unexpected events sometimes mean Technicolor needs fewer workers than planned.
Select and Staff Line said they give rejected workers two hours of "show-up" pay, and that not all temps must wait in line.
Legal status is an issue at Technicolor. The Commercial Appeal interviewed four Mexicans who said they used fake IDs to get jobs at Technicolor through staffing agencies.
The staffing firms say they go further than immigration law requires and run background checks. Still, some unauthorized workers get through.
"I believe that's probably possible," Collier said. "I think most people understand that in today's world that obtaining false documentation that looks very valid oftentimes happens. It's beyond our control."
Job competition
On the morning of Aug. 2, one of the people sent home without work from Technicolor's Memphis Oaks facility was Nekita Green, an African-American.
She was angry.
"They put the Latinos in front of us, you know what I'm saying?" she said. "We can come here earlier. They tell us to be here at 5. We come at 5, they still don't pick us."
Illegal immigrants and their defenders often say that they are doing jobs Americans don't want, but that doesn't always reflect the reality of Memphis, where logistics work is mainstream. An estimated 61,000 people in Crittenden, DeSoto and Shelby counties worked last year in fields related to transportation and warehouses.
Warehouse jobs are traditionally the realm of the black working class, and tensions between black and Hispanic workers are so strong that some warehouse companies have set up separate areas for the groups, according to the U of M researchers.
A Commercial Appeal reporter saw a group of young black warehouse workers taunting Hispanic workers outside a staffing agency. And Arce and other immigrants expressed prejudice against black workers, saying Hispanics work harder.
For Green, a mother of five who has dyed red hair and a ready smile, occasional warehouse jobs were part of her efforts to leave behind her former life as a dancer in Memphis' notorious strip clubs. Yet, she estimated out of her 15 attempts to find work at Technicolor, she was brought inside just once.
"We go out there for that opportunity and they slam the door in our face," she said. "That's rejection. So how else are we going to get money?"
Representatives of Select say the firm doesn't discriminate.
Experts continue to debate the effect of immigration on low-skilled workers. Given the lack of solid data about immigrants in the local warehouse sector, it's difficult to determine if they are driving out native-born workers.
Green said she planned to start work in a salon and won't return to warehouses.
Since leaving Williams-Sonoma, Arce has taken a similar path. She now runs a small business selling health and beauty products with her husband, another Mexican warehouse worker. They have no children and earn enough to send money to relatives in Mexico.
In an interview this summer, Arce said she was still adjusting to a life that didn't involve waking up before dawn.
"But you can get used to everything," she said, "except not eating."

Im still trying to figure it out. Take the day off idea from above. Sneaking away for 8 hours without disrupting your normal life is relatively easy to do without anyone suspecting you made a prison break (unless youre actually in prison). Multiply that times 3, then by 175. Thats enough freedom to fill a decade of adventure (and vacations), if not more.
Its easy to overlook the stress, frustration and confusion, the financial implications, discomfort and adversity that accompany freedom, though. I cope with stress better than I do boredom, so thats not a big deal to me. The frustration and confusion take their toll, as does uncertainty and overall discomfort, isolation and difficulty.
An inmate sent me a message just a couple days ago asking me about what Id sacrificed to be on the road for so long. His inquiry came at the same time I was trying to figure out the answer to that very question. Its easy to look at the practical sacrifices, but whats not as clear is just six months changed me. The impact to my life was poignant, the effects catholic. What I dont understand is the mechanism. Theres been a long-lasting, perhaps permanent side-effect of this sojourn had on my ability to function normally. I experienced tremendous things I never expected, things I wouldnt trade for anything. Just not sure how it disrupted my sense of balance ever since. Its an odd effectand I cant say it even bothers me, but its strange. By the end of such a long trip, after forging friendships and learning about 16,000 miles of North America and myself, I expected to have a sense of certainty, of clarity. But just the opposite happened. It was as if someone very close to me had died when I made it back to the Pacific Ocean. I mourned for a couple days, then hit the road again. The dead rose, severe withdrawal was over. Id end up in places like Marfa, driving by suspicious border patrol agents as I searched a 20 mile stretch of road for a particular location.
(Found it!)
And one location would lead to another .
And another
And another. Seems easy to think that perhaps I was searching for something, but from the subjects of my photos I think I was looking to be lost:
The time of day I visited the Alamo seems to indicate the same:
Those days were a blur. Time deformed, places bled into each other like days easily do. But the blurdom isnt like a haze. Its more like that picture of the Lochness Monster or Bigfoot the details may not be crisp, but the impression makes a huge impact.

The Shortlist for Nov. 9
Robert Pattinson Skirts Kristen Stewart Questions on 'Today'
Newly reunited couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart must be counting the days until their final "Twilight" press onslaught comes to an end. After reportedly overcoming Kristen's caught-on-camera dalliance with director Rupert Sanders -- just in time to begin promoting the final installment of the film franchise that brought them together offscreen -- the on-again lovebirds have been repeatedly challenged to find creative ways of avoiding questions about their rekindled romance.
When Stewart stopped by the "Today" show earlier this week, her response to Savannah Guthrie's Pattinson probing was a vague "keep 'em guessing." Pattinson's turn came Thursday. When the Kristen specter was raised, the actor cringed. "It's like, 'Who is actually asking?' Is it in your contract?" he demanded. "It doesn't have to be [personal]. It only becomes personal if you answer it." Rob was less vague about his "R.Patz" moniker, griping that "It does sound like an antacid tablet." (Celebitchy)

Anyone who has watched any CEO-centric General Session over the years knows that as men (and occasionally women) running companies that are, more often than not, publicly traded , there's not a whole lot of time spent taking the gloves off and — if you'll excuse the mixed metaphor — lobbing hand-grenades.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Segura out of the lineup
Denver - The rain that delayed Saturday night's Brewers-Rockies game could return this afternoon. It's very overcast at Coors Field, where the Brewers have split the first two games of the series.
Shortstop Jean Segura, who was struck on the right forearm by a pitch in the 7-5 victory Saturday night, isn't in the lineup. Jeff Bianchi will play short.
Segura's injury, a bruised forearm, didn't seem serious late Friday night. I'll have more in a bit.
The Brewers' makeshift lineup continues with Rickie Weeks in the leadoff spot and Norichika Aoki in the No. 2 hole. The hot-hitting Caleb Gindl is batting No. 5 in a big-league lineup.
Righty Donovan Hand, whose pitching hand was hit by a pitch Monday, is OK to start today as the Brewers go for the series.
For the Brewers:
2B Rickie Weeks
RF Norichika Aoki
C Jonathan Lucroy
CF Carlos Gomez
LF Caleb Gindl
3B Yuniesky Betancourt
1B Juan Francisco
SS Jeff Bianchi
P Donovan Hand

Carnival Freedom Cruise Review by beatingulds: Average ship/Poor food
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Carnival Freedom Eastern Caribbean Cruises
Average ship/Poor food
My family and I just returned from a 8 day abord the freedom. The port of call were beautiful the best stops were St. Kitts and the Turks and Cacios. We also stopped at St. Maarten and San Juan. I am have sailed on other cruise lines and several other carnival ships. I was not impressed with the freedom. I find the boat to be out dated and the decor was very tacky. The lay out of the boat is very confussing and not well orginized. My biggest complaint was the food and the long dinner/breakfast lines to eat in the dinne areas asigned to you . The lido deck was fair nothing seemed to have much flavior, you have to ask for real eggs , guys burgers was good the wok grill was poor, pizza was fair. I was looking forward to the great food but this ship is far from great. We had prime rib one night and lobster another but chicken every night cooked a different way. I feel I paid for for than i recieved in food quailty.I did enjoy my rooms. I had two balconys on the 6h floor midship and spent More
a lot of time there with my family. The staff was fair not as nice as other carnival ships but seemed to try. Did not care for the entertainment on this ship was bored bye most of it. Less

|reviews / editor album review
content by: editor
The dog's bollocks.In a week when indie bands are falling over themselves to get their music onto tacky television commercials (cough, Wilco, Deerhoof, Architecture In Helsinki…) three snarky curmudgeons from the cold Midwest can still be relied upon to fly the flag for rock's awkward, anti-commercial underground. Arriving in its own sweet time (every song here has been honed over seven years of sporadic live sets), Excellent Italian Greyhound is vintage Shellac: stark, razorous and blackly comic, lurching into whatever time signature happens to possess drummer Tod Trainer.
Opener, The End Of Radio, which takes up nearly a quarter of the record, is the most remarkable thing they've ever done. An abrasive three-chord march, it sees Steve Albini imagining the apocalypse from the position of an AM disc jockey, broadcasting his catchphrases into the void: "This one goes out to a special girl. There is no special girl…" The marketing executives won't be on the phone quite yet, anyway.
David Jones
Shellac - Excellent Italian Greyhound, released 18 June 07 on Touch & Go.

YIELD: Makes 8 servings
For crust:
Place crusts on 2 rimless baking sheets and chill while preparing filling.
For filling:
Place 1/3 of apples in processor. Using on/off turns, chop into small pieces. Transfer chopped apples to large saucepan. Repeat chopping remaining apples in 2 more batches in processor; add to saucepan. Place all dried fruit in processor. Using on/off turns, chop until beginning to stick together. Add dried fruits to saucepan with apples. Add sugar, molasses, rum, brandy, cornstarch, butter, orange peel, lemon peel, spices, and sea salt; stir to blend. Simmer over medium-low heat until mixture is very thick, stirring often to prevent scorching, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat. Transfer pie filling to large bowl and cool completely, about 1 hour.
Position rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 375°F. Transfer 1 crust to 9-inch glass pie dish, leaving dough overhang. Spread cooled filling in crust. Cut second crust into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Arrange 6 dough strips atop filling, spacing 1 inch apart. Place 6 dough strips at 45-degree angle to first strips, forming diamond lattice pattern. Trim strip ends even with bottom crust. Fold crust edge and strips in; press edge with tines of fork to seal. (Feeling ambitious? Click here for tips on making a woven lattice crust.) Whisk cream and sugar in small bowl to blend for glaze. Brush glaze over lattice.
Bake pie 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and continue to bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer pie to rack and cool completely for filling to set. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Let stand at room temperature 2 hours before serving. If desired, rewarm pie in 325°F oven 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
Serve pie warm or at room temperature.

- Results Presented at ICAD 2008 Highlight Significant Improvement in
Cognitive Performance and Global Clinical Status in Patients with
Alzheimer's Disease -
CHICAGO, July 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Forest Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: FRX) presented today positive Phase III data of a once-daily extended-release formulation of Namenda(R) (memantine HCl) at the 2008 Alzheimer's Association International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease (ICAD). The study evaluated the efficacy, safety and tolerability of an innovative, proprietary, 28 mg once-daily extended-release formulation of Namenda compared to placebo in outpatients with moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease already being treated with a cholinesterase inhibitor (donepezil, galantamine or rivastigmine).
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20001011/FORESTLOGO )
In the study, patients treated with once-daily extended-release Namenda experienced significant improvements in cognitive performance and global clinical status compared to those receiving placebo. Patients treated with once-daily extended-release Namenda also experienced significant improvements in verbal fluency and behavioral symptoms as compared to placebo. The results build on preliminary findings announced by Forest in February.
"While there is no cure or existing treatment to prevent Alzheimer's
disease, there are currently-available FDA-approved treatments, such as
combination therapy with memantine and a cholinesterase inhibitor, which
can alleviate symptoms by providing cognitive, functional, and behavioral
benefits," said George Grossberg, MD, Director of Geriatric Psy

Press release from Marketwire
EACOM Timber Corporation Announces Its Third Quarter Results
Tuesday, November 15, 2011
EACOM Timber Corporation Announces Its Third Quarter Results16:52 EST Tuesday, November 15, 2011MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC and VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 15, 2011) - EACOM Timber Corporation (TSX VENTURE:ETR)("EACOM", or the "Company") is pleased to announce its third quarter results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011. On June 30, 2010, EACOM completed the acquisition of the Domtar forest products business, which transformed the Company from a lumber trading to a lumber manufacturing, marketing and distribution business capable of producing approximately 900 million board feet annually. The Company began operating these newly acquired assets on July 1, 2010. As a result, only fifteen months or five quarters of operations are indicative of the Company's current activities and a comparison of the Company's financial results for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively may not be meaningful. However, for the first time with the current quarter ended September 30, 2011, a comparison of the quarterly financial results against those of the same period last year is provided. All amounts are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS The Company's operating results are significantly affected by lumber prices and the CDN$/US$ exchange rate. For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same quarter last year, higher lumber prices, somewhat offset by a stronger Canadian dollar, translated into an improved EBITDA. The Company recorded for the quarter a negative EBITDA of $4,004 ($6,088 in the third quarter of 2010). The net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to shareholders for the quarter amounted to $564 or $0.00 per common share ($9,054 or $0.02 per common share in the third quarter of 2010). This improvement is primarily attributable to better operating results, a gain of $4,339 on the sale of the Big River mill and a $2,940 recovery of income taxes as a result of the acquisition of the remaining one-third interest in the Elk Lake sawmill.QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 vs. QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded sales of $61,396, against sales of $71,902 in the same quarter of 2010. The Company's sales include both lumber and by-product sales. During the quarter, the Company shipped 135 million board feet of lumber (151 million board feet in the third quarter of 2010) and 138,000 oven-dried metric tons of by-products (140,000 oven-dried metric tons in the third quarter of 2010). This decrease in shipments compared to last year is attributable to weak market conditions and lower production with three mills taking market-related downtime during the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Benchmark lumber prices have slightly improved in the third quarter of 2011 but still reflect a slow housing market, averaging US$318/Mfbm for studs and US$332/Mfbm for random lengths delivered Great Lakes, compared to US$283/Mfbm and US$316/Mfbm respectively in the third quarter of 2010. A firmer pricing environment was somewhat offset by a strengthening Canadian dollar, the exchange rate averaging 1.020 during the third quarter of 2011 compared to 0.962 in the third quarter of 2010. And, on July 1, 2011, the Canadian government removed the additional 10% export tax following an announcement that the full amount to be collected had been fully recovered. The mix of lumber grades sold and prices of by-products have remained similar over these two quarters. Lumber production for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was 127 million board feet of lumber, compared to 130 million board feet in the same quarter last year. During the quarter, the Company operated at 49% of its capacity with two of the eight sawmills acquired from Domtar idled, Ear Falls in Ontario and Ste-Marie in Quebec (51% during the same quarter last year with no change to idled mills). Sawmills were subject to longer market-related downtime during the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter last year. Unit costs improved slightly compared to those experienced in the year earlier quarter as a result of those mills taking market-related downtime being the higher cost mills.FINANCIAL POSITION At September 30, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5,694 and its credit facility was undrawn against a borrowing availability of $7,907, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $13,577 and outstanding borrowings of $3,330 under its revolving credit facility against a borrowing availability of $12,119 at June 30, 2011. For the third quarter, cash operating losses of $4,679 were offset by a non-cash working capital recovery of $3,096, resulting in $1,583 being used in operating activities. The Company's working capital requirements vary during the year due to the seasonality of forestry operations. Those requirements are usually substantial in the first and second calendar quarters whereas in the third and fourth quarters, the Company benefits from its working capital. Part of the net proceeds of $32,346 from a private placement of the Company's common shares completed in the second quarter were used to acquire the remaining one-third interest in the Elk Lake sawmill and to repay outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. And, on September 19, 2011, the Company sold its Big River mill for a cash consideration of $7,500.SUBSEQUENT EVENT On October 8, 2011, the Company experienced a fire at its Gogama mill site with substantial losses to log and lumber inventories. However, the mill is intact and operations should resume in the fourth quarter. Losses incurred, including business interruption, are fully covered under the Company's insurance policy, less a deductible.About EACOM EACOM Timber Corporation is a TSX-V listed company. The business activities of EACOM consist of the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of lumber, wood chips and wood-based value-added products, and the management of forest resources. EACOM owns eight sawmills, all located in Eastern Canada, and related tenures. The mills are Timmins, Nairn Centre, Gogama, Elk Lake and Ear Falls in Ontario, and Val-d'Or, Ste-Marie and Matagami in Quebec. The mills in Ear Falls, Ontario, and Ste-Marie, Quebec, are currently idled. EACOM also owns a remanufacturing facility in Val-d'Or, Quebec, and a 50% interest in an "I" joist plant in Sault Ste-Marie, Ontario. Forward-Looking StatementsAll statements in this news release that are not based on historical facts are "forward-looking statements". While management has based any forward-looking statements contained herein on its current expectations, the information on which such expectations were based may change. These forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control and could cause actual results to materially differ from such statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not necessarily limited to, those set forth under "Risk Factors" in the Company's Filing Statement dated January 8, 2010 and "Risks and Uncertainties" in the Company's current MD&A filed with the Canadian Securities Commissions. The financial information included in this release also contains certain data that are not measures of performance under IFRS. For example, "EBITDA" is a measure used by management to assess the operating and financial performance of the Company. We believe that EBITDA is a measure often used by investors to assess a company's operating performance. EBITDA has limitations and you should not consider this item in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be used as a substitute for net loss or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS, nor is it necessarily indicative of whether or not cash flows will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements. In addition, our definition of EBITDA may differ from that of other companies. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net loss is set forth under "OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS – Supplemental Information on Non-GAAP Measures" in the Company's current MD&A. Additional information relating to EACOM is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.SELECTED QUARTERLY INFORMATIONThe following table provides an overview of the Company's financial results for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, along with some key operating metrics.(in thousands of dollars, except where otherwise noted)Quarter ended September 30, 2011Quarter ended September 30, 2010Nine-month period ended September 30, 2011Sales61,39671,902212,522EBITDA(4,004)(6,088)(17,359)Net loss and comprehensive loss(564)(9,054)(20,357)Average lumber price in US$ - RL 2×4 #1&2 (1)332316350Average lumber price in US$ - Stud 2×4×8 (1)318283320Average exchange rate1.0200.9621.023Production - SPF lumber (MMfbm)127130412Shipments - SPF lumber (MMfbm)114128394Shipments - wholesale lumber (MMfbm)212369U.S. housing starts (thousands of units)615584591(1) Eastern spruce/pine/fir, per thousand board feet delivered Great Lakes (Source: Random Lengths Publications, Inc.)The following table reconciles, for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, the Company's net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to shareholders as reported in accordance with IFRS to EBITDA.(in thousands of dollars)Quarter ended September 30, 2011Quarter ended September 30, 2010Nine-month period ended September 30, 2011Net loss and comprehensive loss, as reported(564)(9,054)(20,357)Add (subtract):Depreciation3,4352,89010,057Interest expense397761,134Gain on sale of property, plant and equipment(4,332)-(4,423)Income tax recovery(2,940)-(3,770)EBITDA(4,004)(6,088)(17,359)FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: Marc GirardInvestors:Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer(514) 848-5133ORFrederic BerardMedia Relations:HKDP(514) 917-1040The TSX Venture Exchange has neither approved nor disapproved the content of this press release.

pected to understand a range of concepts and laws organized around such domains as force and motion, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, etc. Typically, understanding was demonstrated by the solution of problem types using quantitative methods that minimally demanded algebra. However, over the past several decades, research on student understanding has called into question whether the goals of instruction were being achieved.
Historically, the implicit assumption in physics instruction has been that novice students could come to understand physics by receiving classroom presentations of what physics experts know. Research, however, has uncovered problems with that assumption. Students' naïve ideas and conceptions about the physical world are not easily changed and in fact often remain substantially unaffected by typical classroom instruction. In the 1970s and 1980s, research conducted by John Clement (1982), Andrea diSessa (1982), Lillian McDermott (1984), and others revealed that even those students who can recall physics laws and use them to solve textbook problems may not understand much about the implications of these ideas in the world around them. For example, in diSessa's research, college physics students performed no better than elementary students when asked to strike a moving object so that it will hit a target with minimum force at impact. Students relied on their untrained ideas in this task, ignoring the role of momentum, even when they could precisely reproduce the relevant laws of momentum on a test. Similarly, a study of student solutions to a problem with simple electrical circuits confirmed that students can reproduce scientific knowledge for a test, but revert to everyday ways of thinking when that knowledge is tapped outside the classroom (see Box 4.1).
Additional work over many years has led to the conclusion that students bring to physics a substantial set of persistent conceptions that are significantly different from those needed to understand aspects of the physics curriculum. By far, the largest amount of work on student conceptions has been in the area of Newtonian mechanics (McDermott and Redish, 1999). Both before and after passing high school and even college physics courses, students often behave as if their conceptual under-

Hi ladies! I am not a member of this group but my 12 month old daughter has been fighting a high fever (102 degrees) for about 36 hours now. I've been to the pediatrician and they've ruled out strept, hand, foot and mouth, and a uti and at this point are telling me it could be roseola or some other stomach virus. I don't know what to think but this morning even when her temp was down since we've been alternating the tylenol/motrin she was still really cranky and whiny and I decided to try putting some teething gel on her gums and then she was fine for the next couple hours. I don't know if it's coincidence or not. She won't let me get a look in her mouth but it feels a little like her lower left gums are swollen back where her molars would come in. She only has 6 teeth so far. 4 top, 2 bottom. The ped. says a fever that high is not teething related but I'm starting to possibly believe otherwise since there are no other symptoms. What do you all think? Is it teething?
High fever from teething?

I actually came to this group looking for the same thing. My son had a high (got up to 103.7!!) fever and we were alternating the tylenol/motrin as well which got the fever down but he was still moaning and in pain. The Doctor ruled out everything (was going to check for UTI if he didn't get better) but said it wasn't teething. I am not so sure... he also isn't eating really at all. He is drinking milk and juice fine but will eat 3 or 4 crackers a day... it's worrying me about him not eating but I do feel like it is teething.
Proud mommy of two beautiful children
In my experience, teething can only cause very low grade fevers. (I've even heard some doctors say teething never causes a fever) I would think 102 or 103 is probably a bug.
Boys only club! Mom to 3 boys, 4/07, 11/09, 5/12
Make sure it is not a first infection of cold sore virus. It will cause high fever with no other symptom eg runny nose/watery eyes. If any of the parents have any latent infection of the virus or the baby goes to day care-it might be even a bigger possibility.
There is no physiological explanation for teething causing fevers. You probably have another issue like a virus going on at the same time. Hope he's better soon!

My little girl has had the same thing. she is 29 months old.two nights ago she started with a fever 101, we alternated the tylenol/ Motrin that evening and the next morning. she kept pointing to her mouth and saying "Hurts". she went most of that day with a low grade fever, and eating very little, only soft foods. that evening her fever spiked back up to 102 and she refused anything but some water. she woke up every hour on the hour last night. she has not had a fever today but is having lots of trouble eating. she cries when she tries to drink juice, eat oatmeal, anything! she does ok for an hour or 2 after using oragel. when she was younger and cutting in her first teeth she never had a fever or fussed, just slept more than usual and drooled a little more. this is a first for us a teething troubles. and also, Doctors disagree with Doctors about teething causing fevers so I'd say 50/50 on that one.
*SAHM to Molly Claire 03/25/08 and Hastin Garrett 12/09/10*Married to my wonderful DH since 11/27/04*
thats interesting that your doctor said that cant be teething related because my sons temp has been hovering around 103 for two or three days now and its DEFINATELY teething. even with the high temp it was the first thing my doctor suggested.
I'm having the same thing going on with my LO she has had a fever of 100-103 since Wednesday, no other symptoms took her to the doctor and nothing they could find. She will still play but then has her fussy clingy moments in between. I don't know what to make of this? I''m looking for answers as she is in daycare 2 days a week and I need her to be able to go but they won't let her due the fever, but it's it just teething this could go on for weeks!! Seems like every day she wakes up cool but then as the day progresses she gets warmer and warmer. Can 103 fever be "normal" for teething???
Teething MIGHT cause low grade fevers, anything over 100 or so is probably due to some other illness. Either way, some tylenol/motrin and liquids should help LO feel better and get that fever down.

devilish - have you ruled out strep? the orajel may be numbing her throat which is why she feels better for a while
103 is not normal for teething.
