"Social reforms, so necessary, so indispensable, require as much of God's grace as a change of heart."
When the great English statesman William Wilberforce died in 1833, one of those who attended his funeral was Antony Ashley Cooper, later Lord Shaftesbury. In the words of biographer John Pollock, "Thus the two crusades and the lives of two great social reformers touched briefly and symbolically … an end and a beginning." If Wilberforce was one of the greatest Christian politicians of his era, Shaftesbury was one of the greatest of his.
Unlike Wilberforce, Shaftesbury was a devout Christian when he became a Member of Parliament in 1826. He felt God had called him "to devote whatever advantages he might have bestowed … in the cause of the weak, the helpless, both man and beast, and those who had none to help them."
He didn't receive this faith from his parents, though. Born the son of the sixth earl of Shaftesbury, he was raised in a home devoid of parental affection. Virtually all he knew of love he experienced through the kindness of a maid named Maria Millis. It was to her that he later traced the beginning of his evangelical Christianity.
Two years into Parliament, Shaftesbury commenced his efforts to alleviate the injustices caused by the Industrial Revolution, which included acts that prohibited employment of women and children in coal mines, provided care for the insane, established a ten-hour day for factory workers, and outlawed employing young boys as chimney sweeps.

Privately he promoted the building of model tenements (on his own estate) and "ragged schools" for waifs. For years he served as president of the British and Foreign Bible Society. He ardently supported the London City Mission, the Church Missionary Society, and the Young Men's Christian Association. He was associated with 33 philanthropic organizations in his life.
His commitment to spread the gospel led him to start a movement to hold religious services in theaters and music halls. Controversy ensued, forcing him to defend the movement in the House of Lords against charges that Christianity would be compromised if it were associated with scenes of frivolous entertainment.
The driving force of all this social activity was his faith. Some of the more important guiding principles expressed in his writings include:
Though he had high ideals, as a legislator, Shaftesbury was a realist. He often agreed to compromises to win ground for his causes. For example, he wanted the Board School curriculum to include Bible teaching: "The teaching of the Bible," he argued, "should be essential and not an extra." The problem was how exactly to teach it—by which denomination's interpretation? Since church groups were unable to agree on a syllabus for religious instruction, a compromise was reached: the Bible would be taught but not according to the formularies of any church. Shaftesbury considered such teaching "a meager, washy, pointless thing," but it was better than no Bible instruction at all.
Shaftesbury's lifelong commitment to the welfare of his fellow Brits was once described as "his hopeless pertinacity." He was pertinacious—but hopeless, no.

I think the phrase "bag of smashed assholes" describes it best
Im going to bring a boy home tonight, and not tell him that I have my period. So when he tries to fuck me, I say no, and look really classy. Then he thinks I'm marriage material. So I give him head.
I drove you home. there is no excuse for wrecking your car 3 hours later.
I should never bitch about not getting laid. He's begging me to come over and I'm saying no because I'm watching a Golden Girls marathon.
he asked me to smell his eyeballs.
It was mandatory to shotgun a beer before we were allowed to eat dinner
I can see why you broke up with her now... it was like having sex with a corpse.
My dad just told the waiter to keep the pitchers coming until someone passes out.
I just fucked my ex's ex's ex. Love quadrilateral complete
Sorry I drunkenly insulted your air mattress last night. You still could have fucked me on it though.
Just want to apologize again for asking to spot your form in the shower.
When the sex is so good, you need three fans and have to chug a gallon of water after
You're best friend just tackled me....naked....brought me to his room where he had freshly baked cinnamon rolls. I didn't know he could cook
I've had sex near too many of the blankets to let our parents touch them like this

If you like bald guys, root for the Dbacks tonight
Sep 2, 2011, 2:00 PM EDT
The Diamondbacks head into San Francisco tonight with a six-game lead and the ability to all but put the defending champs away for good. But, with nine straight wins under their belts, there are even greater things at stake:
Arizona general manager Kevin Towers and club president Derrick Hall offered to sacrifice their hair if the winning streak hits 10 … "Can't wait to get the 10th win in SF so I can shave some heads!!!!" Arizona infielder Ryan Roberts posted on Twitter.
Kirk Gibson likewise offered to shave his head. Given that he's been as bald as me since the Reagan Administration, that should take two seconds.
Actually, that's a lie. Gibson made no such offer. And I imagine that he'd fine anyone who came near him.
- Graves - Sep 2, 2011 at 2:22 PM
…and by "fine" you mean "break their jaw."
- nolanwiffle - Sep 2, 2011 at 2:39 PM
If Phillies phans are to be believed, bald guys are loathesome, vile human beings full of hate for all things they deem good (in red pinstripes hovering near first base).
- Bill - Sep 2, 2011 at 2:41 PM
Astounding. News that involves shaving AND the San Francisco Giants, and I can't find a Brian Wilson joke that fits.
- philly56 - Sep 2, 2011 at 3:14 PM
My prediction: a bald-headed general manager and owner will be talking about a benches clearing brawl started by the world champs and ended by the dbacks by the end of the weekend.
Hey, if the giants act like spoiled children when the phillies play them you gotta imagine the dbacks will get the same or worse the way the nl west is shaping up.
- nyyankeedave - Sep 2, 2011 at 3:31 PM
Very good chance Dbacks put away Giants by end of weekend. Giants will be back next season, so this is their best shot. As for AZ, that hitting won't sustain in the playoffs, and they only got ONE elite starter,so they're out early. It won't matter anyway, the World Series champ is coming out of the AL this year(my Yankees). But it'll be hilarious to see the Phillies lose after all the HYPE! They feast on NL crud and the one team they're afraid of, SF, is on life support. If, IF, they make it to the series, they better pray they don't meet my Yankees or Boston, hell, even Texas. MARK IT DOWN-YA HEARD IT HERE FIRST.
- cur68 - Sep 2, 2011 at 4:33 PM
yankeedave, while agree with most of what you say I take a modicum of issue with the 'hype' thing about the Phills. What's 'hyped' about an 87 – 46 record? They are legitimately very, very, VERY good.
Also, have a look at the crap-shoot thread. The odds are pretty nicely in the Phills phavor of making it to the series: pitching trumps a lot in the post season. No one else has had the rotation depth the Phills enjoy.
And trust me (or not; won't get offended if you don't) some real astute people are going to mark it down that you posted this. You may have to eat some words here, because I don't see the Yankee rotation as being as deep.
In the interests of full disclosure, though, I said much the same stuff in pre-season about the Yankee rotation and here they are again going to play in October most likely. I am eating those words, aren't I?
- garlicfriesandbaseball - Sep 3, 2011 at 2:11 AM
Ahh c'mon. Phillies had been a very, very VERY good team in MLB last year by the end of the regular season and look what happened to them in the playoffs. They buckled. It takes a real championship team to follow it through to the end.
- gogigantos - Sep 3, 2011 at 12:43 PM

- nyyankeedave - Sep 3, 2011 at 11:57 AM
I heard these same things about Philly last season. And the season before that. Just because you are a very, very, very good team doesn't mean you're unbeatable. They WILL lose in the playoffs. Whether it's in the Series or before that, to whomever. You see, the '11 Phillies are like last season's. They're too cool for school and they're spoiled. They're bullies, picking on the NL nerds. And like last season, some nerd, albeit in the NL or in the Series, will fight back, and like all bullies, the Phils will wilt AGAIN. FACT.

A Fixed-Frequency Quasi-Sliding Control Algorithm: Application to Power Inverters Design by Means of FPGA Implementation
Document typeArticle
Date issued2003-01-31
PublisherInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
Rights accessOpen Access
In this paper a fixed-frequency quasi-sliding control algorithm based on switching surface zero averaged dynamics (ZAD) is reported. This algorithm is applied to the design of a Buck-based inverter, and implemented in a laboratory prototype by means of a field programmable gate array (FPGA), taking into account processing speed versus computational complexity trade-off. Three control laws, namely sliding control (SC), fixed-frequency quasi-sliding ZAD and PWM-based control have been experimentally tested to highlight the features of the proposed algorithm. According to the experimental results presented in the paper, the ZAD algorithm fulfills the requirement of fixed switching frequency and exhibits similar robustness properties in the presence of perturbations to those of sliding control mode.

Arpaio, Unfazed by Prior Lawsuits, Will Force Jail Inmates to Listen to Christmas Music All Day Long
It seems as though America's self-proclaimed "toughest sheriff" can't live without hearing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer in his jails this holiday season.
Sheriff Joe, despite being sued six times in the past two years for doing so, will again force inmates in the county jails to listen to Christmas carols throughout the holiday season.
In a press release from the sheriff today, which is written in a smug red and green type, Arpaio downplays the six lawsuits and says the roughly 8,000 inmates in the county jail system will get Christmas music all day long this holiday season whether they like it or not.
The six prior lawsuits have claimed Arpaio's less-than-merry practice should be considered cruel and unusual punishment, or that the sheriff is forcing people to participate in religious celebrations.
The practice of forcing people to listen to crappy music all day long has been used in the past for interrogation purposes. For example, the U.S. military blared Metallica music at detainees in Guantanamo Bay with the intention of breaking them down psychologically.
If the GITMO detainees were breaking down over a little Metallica music, there's no way that forcing someone to listen to Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree isn't cruel and unusual.

A huge surprise
shocks Wonderland Palace and Dinah's life is flipped upside down. All she can
think about is spending time with her best friend and the love of her life,
Wardley, who will soon become the Knave of Hearts.
Princess Dinah's coronation to become queen is quickly
approaching, and Dinah wants nothing more than her Father's love and
acceptance. But when a magical stranger appears in Wonderland, everything she's
ever dreamed of begins to crumble. Dark secrets hidden in the walls begin to
surface and Dinah begins to question every aspect of her life thus far. A word
of caution: Not all fairytales have a happy ending.
This tale puts a dark and evil spin on some familiar classic
characters that will leave you wanting more. Colleen Oakes creates a parallel
universe to a world we already know and makes us wish we had this book sooner!
Don't forget to pick up a copy of Queen of Hearts (available Feb. 14!) to read about how this princess turns into a villain. Then come back and share your thoughts.

Cristina needed to pay the rent and I was so hospitable to her she was really excited to do the very best she could to please me. She did a striptease for her boyfriend and allowed me and Renato to watch. Renato was filming her with his camera from a different angle and I decided to put that up on our TV. She got a kick out of watching her own ass shake. She gave her boyfriend a lapdance and then the lucky motherfucker got his dick sucked and fucked her doggy style. To top it off she let him poke her in her rear seeing as how she got so hot and bothered with the whole stripper TV set up.

Daniel Vettori looks younger without his beard.
He is in Porirua on business but inevitably the subject is cricket.
In the past fortnight he has turned 34 and become a father for the third time.
He calls himself a "house husband" and says the ongoing tendinitis in his left Achilles has been"demoralising".
Some of his answers lack conviction, not because he is being difficult but simply because there is no guarantee he will get back on the park.
He can bowl but he can't run.
"Some people will say that has been the case for a couple of years," he says. Vettori has always been good with his one-liners.
The injury has probably robbed him of the honour of becoming New Zealand's most successful test bowler.
Richard Hadlee took 431 in 86 tests and Vettori is marooned on 359 in 111.
Vettori needs 73 scalps, which based on his wickets per test ratio will take 23 further tests or up to four years, if you factor in the 2014-2015 season when test matches will take a back seat to 50-over games because of the World Cup.
"I can't play another three to four years," Vettori says.
"It actually feels like it would be wrong for me to overtake him anyway.
"Paddles took 86 tests - that is five wickets a test. If I get it it will be due to longevity."
Vettori's goals have changed because of his injury. Perhaps he could aim for 400?
"I just want to get back on the park," he said.
"I'm a little bit elusive with my (comeback) plans and I have to keep it that way because of the injury."
For all that, everyone in life has a plan. His involves getting a couple of games under his belt for Northern Districts in next month's one-day competition to fit him for New Zealand's tour to England in May.
Reminded that the Indian Premier League is sandwiched in between, Vettori believes he could be in for a quiet time with Bangalore.
"The IPL will be interesting for me.
"Murali will play before me so I will probably be sitting on the bench. Hopefully over there I can bowl a lot in the nets and get some overs in that way."
Vettori has been off the scene since the Twenty20 World Cup in Sri Lanka in September. He describes the New Zealand captaincy shambles as "unfortunate" but believes the team is back on track.
So there is not a lot more to be had today. Vettori has some hands to shake around a business interest in artificial turf.
The turf laying is under way at football's Ole Academy in the Porirua Hospital grounds, with completion of the $1 million project due in four weeks.

Treating hospital wastewater
7 February 2012 News Archive
Bioreactors could be part of the solution to the problem of drugs entering the water supply
The photosensitiser absorbs energy from light and transfers it to surrounding molecules to create reactive oxygen species
Hospital wastewater has the potential to be a threat to public health as it can contain bacteria that may facilitate resistance transfer to other species within sewage treatment plants. As Adelaide Almeida, who led the study at the the University of Aveiro explains, 'some pathogenic bacteria are more concentrated in hospital wastewaters and some of these strains are resistant to antibiotics, such as vancomycin-resistant enterococci and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.'
Almeida's team has shown that photodynamic inactivation (PDI) can effectively inactivate multidrug resistant-pathogenic bacteria. PDI uses a nontoxic photosensitiser, in this case a cationic porphyrin, which absorbs energy from visible light and transfers it to other surrounding molecules, creating highly cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) that inactivate microbial cells.
Kristjan Plätzer of the laboratory of photodynamic inactivation of microorganisms at the University of Salzburg in Austria says the experimental data presented in the paper is significant. 'The antibacterial effect of photodynamic inactivation was remarkably high, demonstrating its obvious potential as a novel approach for inactivating resistant bacteria in hospital wastewaters,' he adds.
Although the study's findings are very positive, Almeida and her colleagues recognise that more experiments are needed to establish an inexpensive and environmentally friendly antimicrobial protocol. 'The next steps are to determine the efficiency of PDI in raw hospital wastewater, the use of sunlight as a low cost light source and the possibility of immobilising the photosensitiser on solid supports.'

Meir Panim Gives the Gift of Camp to Hundreds of Impoverished Children.
A friend of mine called me recently on her way home from a date. It was 11:30 p.m., and she was walking home from the subway, a 20-minute walk from her home. She said that she had a pleasant time, but was surprised when her date walked her to the subway at the end of the evening and said good night at 11 p.m. "Doesn't he realize that at this late hour he should be escorting me home?" she cried.
The young man was apparently unaware that he was not displaying the best manners in casually walking his date to a subway station late at night, instead of seeing her safely to her door. Yet this lack of etiquette is unfortunately all too common in today's dating world.
Another example occurred recently when I set up a young man on a shidduch date. I personally knew him to be bright, good-hearted and open-minded. I was therefore surprised when he called me after his phone call with the prospective date and bluntly told me, "She's not my type." He wanted to cancel their plans to meet.
His major concern was that she did not have an appreciation for his favorite genre of music. He said, "I can just tell that she's not for me. I'm so burnt out lately from dating. I can't put myself through this." I empathized with his situation, but I asked him to consider what this would feel like to his date. Perhaps she too has gone through many disappointing experiences lately, and his cancellation would just add to her disillusionment. Despite this, he couldn't bring himself to go through with the date. Thus I was given the unfortunate task of relaying the news to this girl, who had been looking forward to meeting him.
What Went Wrong?
From the many stories that I have heard, it seems that some men and women are engaging in apparently inconsistent behaviors when it comes to their dating lives. While most are considerate and fine people, when it comes to dating some singles have become so desensitized and self-protective that they are, simply put, not minding their manners.
Some of the most common offenses I have come across lately are:

There has been much made in the media about the stress on marriage and the high rates of divorce affecting couples who have a child with a developmental disability. Yet at the same time, counter studies have been published that refute many of these claims – reporting that this data has been exaggerated and that these families do not have a significantly higher divorce rate.
A friend of mine called me recently on her way home from a date. It was 11:30 p.m., and she was walking home from the subway, a 20-minute walk from her home. She said that she had a pleasant time, but was surprised when her date walked her to the subway at the end of the evening and said good night at 11 p.m. "Doesn't he realize that at this late hour he should be escorting me home?" she cried.
"I feel mad because my brother is always breaking my things."
"I wish things weren't always so hard for him."
"I feel both happy and sad that she is my sister."
