WASHINGTON, May 20, 2005 Military officials in Iraq have condemned the release of photos taken of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in prison that appeared today in a British tabloid and have been widely circulated on the Internet.
"These photos were taken in clear violation of DoD directives and possibly Geneva Convention guidelines for the humane treatment of detained individuals," a Multinational Force Iraq official said in a statement.
The statement went on to say that the command "is disappointed at the possibility that someone responsible for the security, welfare, and detention of Saddam would take and provide these photos for public release."
Saddam was captured by U.S. troops near his hometown of Tikrit in December 2003. The interim Iraqi government assumed legal custody of him in June 2004, but he remains under the control of U.S. servicemembers at an undisclosed location. The deposed leader has appeared in court just once, a few days after the legal handover.
A photo of Saddam wearing nothing but his underwear appears on the cover of today's edition of The Sun, a popular British tabloid. Other photos published inside the paper reportedly show the 68-year-old former leader doing laundry by hand and sleeping.
DoD officials say the photos are believed to be over a year old, but maintain they don't know how The Sun got them.
"We take seriously our responsibility to ensure the safety and security of all detainees," the MNFI release stated. "This lapse is being aggressively investigated to determine, if possible, who took the photos, and to ensure existing procedures and directives are complied with to prevent this from happening again."

let me guess the police department knew his family & thought that it was safe for someone to drive him home instead of letting him sleep it off then post a BOND like in ALL cases should be, but instead allow him to go free & risk the safety of others. Just think of all the people getting ready to make that morning commute.... WOW good job WESTLAKE PD The supervisor on duty should also be held accountable in someway.
My heart goes out to the victims family but one question i have & that is if there was a trauma unit on the eastside would he had survived. I'm just saying....and just to clear it up people lets stop the VIOLENCE!!!!!!!
sosfromcleveland I must agree I was sitting in on another case when they came with Mr. Hicks case & I saw the evidence 1st hand & boy must I say it was CRAPPY.
Crime is everywhere....Wake up your not safe anywhere, you can run but you can't hide. Sorry for the hard working people at least i hope hard working peopel who's property & privacy that was violated..
Another violent crime MAYOR JACKSON won't get blamed for.....Crime is leaving the Cleveland area...YEAH BABY
Boy how the economy has hit hard, even in the small communities such as Stow. REALITY check people, when things go bad most people think that is the way to go,swallow your PRIDE people its ok you're not alone. HAPPY THAT MAYOR JACKSON WON,T GET THE BLAME FOR THIS ONE.
To all negative readers. I'm pretty sure with the economy the way it is that you long time suburbanites have not fallen on hard times or have relatives that are at a disadvantage to blame such residents for what is going on not only in your neighborhood but also across the country so get a grip on life & stop blaming everyone & hold those responsible. And remember those who are running stand up & fight back you claim it was yours take it back!!!!!!!!!
REALLY!!!! Do you relly believe prison is the answer. Then you will be crying about tax money going to feed the prisoners. Remember its not the guns it the people who does the shooting. And remember Cleveland is not the only city with this problem it is a WORLD WIDE problem.
whats so sad is that on Oct. 3, 2009 a little past midnight while getting off work I hear a gun shot I said tomyself let me get out of here while getting in my car i realized that i was shot in the back. while attempting to call for help i was shot 5 more times (thank GOD i'm here). I looked the shooter straight in the face. to make a long story short the suspect takes the case to trial & the jury found the shooter not guilty saying that there was not enough evidence for them to prove who shot me. After my 6 months of recovery & my life dam near in ruins I went out & got my Gun permit. Do I belive in the justice system hell NO. To add insult to injury they gave the shooter 1yr. in prison for back ssupport
Just remember that thou shall not steal.... The GOVERNMENT hates competition... And people going to jail is not the answer for everything, save space for the violent offenders...
Sad situation my heart goes out to the family. But like I always say when its your turn its your turn even on a small little island. Just think if it had happened in the flats or even worse the SCARY inner city. So happy that murder can't be blamed on Mayor Jackson and not to mention at least the weapon of chose was not a GUN... (And I know that does not justify taking someones life). And people please stop judging so soon without ALL the facts and stop relying on the MEDIA..
SAD SAD story all the familys are in my prayers. But again it can happen anytime, anywhere. GOD BLESS them all
Dumpsterman thats because you come from a small community now living in a urban city full of problems BIGGER than BAY VILLAGE & the CPD has to treat everyone equal. Unlike BAY VILLAGE if they run your lincence plate & you're not a resident then you get treated unfair. so WELCOME to the BIG CITY DUMPSTERBOY!!!!!!

MAC Cosmetics: Guide For The Newly Addicted, Part 3 — Eye Basics
MAC Cosmetics: Guide For The Newly Addicted, Part 3
If I'm new, what are some good basics that I should get into first?
It is important to note that everybody is a little different, and their preferences for the type of makeup or kinds of products are not the same across the board. You should use this only as a guideline, but not as something that is universal to every person.
- Primer | Prep + Prime Eye is MAC's base for eyeshadow, and while it isn't a bad product, many love Urban Decay's Primer Potion more. Nonetheless, MAC offers several other products that can be used as primers/bases that are excellent. Paints in shades such as Bare Canvas and Untitled; paint pots in Bare Study and Painterly; and Shadesticks in Beige-ing and Fresh Cement are all great for getting a neutral base. You can always try other shades and hues for intensifying similar colored eyeshadows (e.g., Lucky Jade shadestick with any green eyeshadow over it will bring out the shadow color even more).
- Shadow | MAC offers a diverse range of colors and textures in their eyeshadow department. It is hard to narrow it down to even ten must-have colors. As a result, I would rather give you three top notch choices in each color family.
- Blacks >> Black Tied, Carbon
- Blues >> Deep Truth, Freshwater, Moon's Reflection
- Browns >> Amber Lights, Bronze, Woodwinked
- Golds >> Goldmine, Gorgeous Gold, Juiced
- Grays/Silvers >> Knight Divine, Print, Silver Ring
- Greens >> Humid, Juxt, Velvet Moss
- Neutrals/highlighters >> Dazzlelight, Ricepaper, Vex
- Oranges >> Mythology, Orange, Rule
- Pinks >> Da Bling, Passionate, Pen 'N' Pink
- Purples >> Parfait Amour, Satellite Dreams, Stars N' Rockets
- Teals >> Aquadisiac, Shimmermoss, Surreal
- Whites >> Chill, Crystal Avalanche, Gesso
- Pigments | Melon, Naked, Tan, and Vanilla are all really versatile pigment colors that work well as more neutral bases. I also love working with Fuchsia, Golden Olive, Teal, and Violet pigments as well.
- Eye Liners | MAC makes a whole host of different kinds of eye liners, but my favorite versions are technakohl liners and fluidlines. Blacktrack fluidline is a long-lasting black gel liner that yields good results for the majority of users. Graphblack technakohl is the black liner of the technakohl family, and I find it is the one I reach for most.
Discussion and debate are highly encouraged, and we expect community members to participate respectfully. When asking a question, please check the FAQ section (above) for information about purchasing, price, dupes, and the like. If you have general feedback or need technical support, please contact us.

Soil and Water Conservation Research
1a.Objectives (from AD-416):
Determine how varying production environments affect the relative performance of B. carinata.
1b.Approach (from AD-416):
To establish a basic understanding of the yield performance of Brassica carinata relative to other oilseed crops across diverse environments, four genotypes of B. carinata provided by Agrisoma Biosciences Inc. (Agrisoma), will be compared to two genotypes each of B. napus, B. rapa, B. juncea, and C. sativa, in a series of small plot experiments at ARS locations in Ames, IA, Morris, MN, Mandan, ND, Akron, CO, Sydney, MT, Maricopa, AZ, Moscow, ID, Pendleton, OR, and Parlier, CA, representing a diversity of growing environments. All of these oilseeds will be grown in four replicated plots (~6m x 4.5m wide) at each location listed, for a total of 40 plots for each location's experimental planting. To shed light on the physiological basis for a Brassica carinata's anticipated yield advantages over other oilseeds in most locations (in response to differing environments), detailed descriptions of agronomically important phenotypes will be performed, many determined by HTP methods. Phenotypes associated with a genotype's ability to respond successfully to drought stress (e.g., crop height, leaf area index, plant canopy reflectance, and canopy temperature) will be measured once per week using hand-held instruments. We will also measure the isotopic signature of carbon in grain to indicate the degree of water stress under grain filling.

Liberal blogger Matt Yglesias says Romney is comparable to Hitler because of this article disclosing the former Nazi leader's Swiss bank account. Is there no end to how far leftists will reach to manufacture a talking point?
Obama for America press secretary Ben LaBolt got chatty with Yglesias about evil Romney. Apparently, that is now part of the official campaign.
Yglesias claims he made a funny, but conservatives just didn't get it.

The chief executive officer of BioCrossroads says the economy for early-stage life sciences companies still has not fully recovered. David Johnson says it's a tough time for those companies to raise capital and the new $8.25 million Indiana Seed Fund II should help fill that hole. He tells Inside INdiana Business the fund, which has seven investors, is a sign that there are good ideas in Indiana "that can go the distance and are worth getting started."

INDIANAPOLIS, April 30, 2012 -- BioCrossroads announced today the formation of the Indiana Seed Fund II (the Fund), an early-stage capital fund focused on identifying, creating and developing the next generation of Indiana-based life sciences companies. The $8.25 million fund is a follow-on to the Indiana Seed Fund I, a $6 million fund that is now fully committed in a portfolio of 12 Indiana life sciences companies.
Managed by BioCrossroads, the Indiana Seed Fund II is a result of a unique public-private collaboration of corporate, university and philanthropic investors including BC Initiative (BioCrossroads' for-profit / investment entity), Eli Lilly and Company, the Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation, Inc., Indiana University Research and Technology Corporation, Purdue University, the University of Notre Dame, and WellPoint.
"The fact that this impressive group of institutional investors has come together to form a new Indiana Seed Fund is a terrific testament to the strength of our life sciences sector," said David L. Johnson, president and CEO of BioCrossroads. "Thanks to these stakeholders, we're now in position to invest in some of the most promising start-up companies we can find to advance this sector's next round of success."
The Fund will invest an average of $500,000 in early-stage biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical device, diagnostic, ag-biotech and health information technology products and platforms, continuing BioCrossroads' focus on promising companies formed around innovative ideas. Managed by BioCrossroads' experienced professional team, the Fund has an investment committee comprised of individuals with start-up management and life sciences investment experience, bringing years of collective knowledge to Indiana life sciences companies.
"This is outstanding news for the Indiana life sciences community," said Darren Carroll, vice president of Corporate Business Development for Eli Lilly and Company and member of the Indiana Seed Fund II Investment Committee. "In a time of continuing difficulties in the financing market, this group was able to raise a follow-on fund that is larger and has more diverse investors than its predecessor. We're looking forward to the next generation of groundbreaking ideas and entrepreneurs."
The Fund will seek to invest in early stage life sciences companies progressing towards defined milestones to secure a Series A financing, strategic partnership or co-development agreement. Companies must illustrate proven management teams, owned or licensed technology, intellectual property, and a demonstrable and validated market need.
"There are so many important discoveries and ideas in science that simply will not make it to market without this type of capital -- a critical component to help Indiana companies move their technologies forward," added Nora Doherty, vice president-Finance of BioCrossroads and managing director of the Fund.
Indiana's life sciences sector has received national recognition as a life sciences center. In June 2009, The Economist said, "Though every state wants to be a hub in the life sciences, Indiana actually is one..." In August 2011, a Wall Street Journal article called Indianapolis a hotbed of activity for the life sciences, citing the state's 825 life sciences companies and 8,800 new jobs.

COLUMBIA — Score one for gun rights, sign makers and quizzical glances from tourists.
South Carolina senators passed a bill Thursday that would allow those with concealed weapons permits to carry their guns into restaurants and bars. Senators made several technical changes, which are expected to be adopted by the House next week and sent to Gov. Nikki Haley soon after. A Haley spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Sen. Brad Hutto, D-Orangeburg, who supports the measure, said in an interview that he knows there are many potential problems associated with patrons carrying guns into restaurants and bars. Under the law, restaurants could opt out by posting a sign in their window that says guns are not allowed in the restaurant. He expects many restaurant owners will take that route.
"There's going to be some tourist shock to this," Hutto said of those scanning the menu and finding a large sign banning guns. "I think you're going to see some gun owners … boycott some restaurants that put the sign up. There's going to be some fallout both ways."
Law enforcement and restaurant owners largely didn't want the law, said Hutto.
"There are multiple concerns to this but in the end we as a state have always thought responsible gun ownership is not a bad thing," he said.
Dozens of other states already have passed similar laws.
About 200,000 South Carolinians, including Haley, hold concealed-carry permits. The governor took to social media recently to post a photo of the new pistol she received as a Christmas present.
Under the proposed law, anyone carrying guns into bars and restaurants would be prohibited from drinking alcohol.
Several people asked legislators to change that, saying they should be able to have, for example, a glass of wine with their meal.
The Senate's vote sends it back to the House, which approved the measure last year 100-12.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Carrying a 1-0 lead through most of the match, the New England Revolution let the never-say-die San Jose Earthquakes hang around a bit longer than they would've preferred on Saturday night, but ultimately the home side found that critical second goal to guarantee the full three points in a 2-0 win.
Saer Sene's long-range rocket gave the Revs an early lead and the hosts peppered Jon Busch's goal with 19 shots – including 11 in the first half – but it wasn't until the 78th minute that the points were secure whenDimitry Imbongo climbed off the bench to stab home Lee Nguyen's pass from close range.

researchers (primarily neuroscientists) to work in partnership with researchers from the AIDS clinical trials units (ACTUs), the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS), and the Women and Infants Transmission Study (WITS) on studies of HIV infection of the CNS. The overarching goal of AIDS-related neuroscience research is to understand the pathogenetic mechanisms involved in HIV-associated brain dysfunction. This encompasses clinical and laboratory research studies aimed at understanding the biology of HIV infection of the CNS and the mechanisms of brain dysfunction at the organismic, cellular, and molecular levels. Investigations cross many disciplines and range from clinical studies dealing with natural history, disturbed physiology, and neuroimaging, as well as clinical virology and immunology, to fundamental laboratory studies involving animal and cell culture models, as well as biochemical and molecular research.
Neurobehavioral research generally is more clinically directed and aims at defining and understanding the effects of HIV and various treatment on the neurodevelopment of infected and at-risk infants and children, and the neuropsychological, neuropsychiatric and neurological sequelae of HIV infection in infected and at-risk adults. This research involves methodological development, direct study of clinical presentation and natural history, and assessment of antiviral therapy and other interventions.
NIMH also has supported psychoneuroimmunology research in its AIDS program. This discipline focuses on the relationship between the brain (including its behavioral state) and the immune system. Its potential application to AIDS is supported by the hypothesis that behavioral states may modulate immune defenses against HIV and thereby alter the response to HIV exposure and the rate of progression to AIDS in those infected.
Through its AIDS research centers and investigator-initiated research grants, NIMH has supported behavioral epidemiology research to identify specific populations at risk for HIV/AIDS and to understand the specific highrisk behaviors of various populations, including homosexual and bisexual men, heterosexual women and men, adolescents, injection drug users and their partners, people with severe mental illness, and the homeless. Not only is behavioral epidemiology critical for understanding risk factors associated with HIV transmission and disease progression, it is essential to the development and evaluation of preventive AIDS interventions.

In keeping with the stated objective of 'identifying those laboratories which meet established standards,' the ASCLD/LAB Board has determined that, as an accrediting body, we must be timelier in reviewing instances of significant non-compliance. To further this objective, all accredited laboratories must disclose to ASCLD/LAB all substantive occurrences of non-compliance within 30 calendar days of determining that the noncompliance has occurred.15
In addition to this particular requirement, the ISO program has a requirement for an annual surveillance visit. During this site visit, any issues that may have come to the attention of ASCLD/LAB and/or requirements selected by ASCLD/LAB are reviewed. The accreditation programs are managed by a paid staff member working under the direction of a board of directors, which is elected by the Delegate Assembly. The Delegate Assembly is composed of the directors of all accredited laboratories and laboratory systems. Inspectors must complete a training program and must be employed in an accredited laboratory. At any time, if an issue is brought to the attention of ASCLD/LAB, the board of directors can, after determining that the claim is substantive, implement an interim inspection of that particular issue and the entire laboratory. The program also includes a system of sanctions and an appeal process.
ASCLD/LAB's international program has accredited 60 laboratories as of April 2008, in addition to 337 laboratories accredited under the original Legacy program.16 FQS-International (FQS-I) has accredited just over 50 laboratories in one or more disciplines; however, FQS-I allows forensic laboratories to customize their accreditation by phasing in one discipline at a time.17 A survey of International Association for Identification (IAI) members, who tend to work in settings other than traditional crime laboratories, revealed that only 15 percent of respondents are accredited.18
Only a few jurisdictions require that their forensics laboratories be accredited. According to the 2005 census of 351 publicly funded crime laboratories, more than three-quarters of laboratories (78 percent) were

Playskool Showcam
Reviewed for Kindergarten, 2013
This camera layers a whole new level onto imaginary play. Kids can play photographer, sure, but they can actually snap real pictures, then project their creations on the wall of the living room too! A giant yellow button makes adding super hero capes, mini-mustaches, and 50 other silly effects a snap, and kid-sized hand grips, easy scrolling, and other intuitive features make taking pictures a breeze for little hands. We the quality of the resulting pictures was better, so images would be good enough to print out and frame. As it is, this camera is long on fun factor, and light on picture quality. That said, for $50, this camera packs a ton of play and experimentation into a delightful package, perfect for young kids to learn to choose a subject, frame an image, and hold their hands steady. This gift would be great way to inspire your budding kinder photographer, without worrying about him dropping your iPhone. (Moose Toys, $49.69)

By Samantha L. QuigleyAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7, 2009 The Defense Department is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for military families, the director of the department's Family Advocacy Program said in observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
When domestic violence does occur within the military community, however, there are places to turn, David Lloyd said.
"Domestic violence is always an issue in the military because military people come into the service with all the issues that are present in the civilian sector," he said. "We don't want victims to suffer in silence."
In 2006, the department passed the Restricted Reporting Policy, Lloyd said. Restricted reporting allows victims who are unaware of the support and resources available for them to get that information, get an assessment of their safety and receive help with safety planning.
All of this is done without notifying military law enforcement or the military commander, which means that if the alleged abuser is a servicemember, the incident won't end up on a permanent record.
The other option is unrestricted reporting, which is the option used when a victim wants to get law enforcement or the command involved, Lloyd said.
"In that situation, the law enforcement … personnel would investigate the allegations of what had happened and of course would present it to the commander," he said. "The commander would be able to take steps, including issuing a military protective order."
Commanders also have the authority to move the servicemember into the barracks to separate the couple, as well as make them surrender any personal firearms to reduce the immediate risk of lethality, Lloyd said.
These are just two of the tools and resources available to victims of domestic violence in the military community.
Victim advocates and military life consultants also are available to help a victim through the process, no matter which report they choose to file. Should a victim want to seek shelter, the advocate or a Family Advocacy Program clinician would help her get to a shelter off the military installation, Lloyd said.
"The … advocate also would go with her to a civilian court, … to get a civilian protective order … [which] must be enforced on a military installation just as if it was in the outside, civilian world," he said. "If it's a servicemember who's the alleged abuser - which it is in about 60 percent of the cases – the commander can order that abuser to meet with a [Family Advocacy Program] person, get an assessment, [and] come up with a treatment to correct his behavior."
The commander also could order the servicemember into Family Advocacy Program or other counseling, as appropriate, Lloyd said, or may call for disciplinary measures.
There's another scenario as well.
If the servicemember wants to come forward as a voluntary self-referral before abuse occurs to get help with his own potentially abusive behavior, he can contact the Family Advocacy Program for counseling services, or the family center or Military OneSource for nonmedical counseling, Lloyd said. Speaking with a Military OneSource or military family life consultant before abuse has occurred is confidential and neither law enforcement or command would be notified. But when the commander hears about an incident of abuse, and takes action against the servicemember, it will show up in their record.
The realization that many victims are afraid to come forward because they feel reliant upon their abuser has not been lost on the department.
If a commander finds cause to discharge a servicemember over abuse allegations or has the servicemember court-martialed and a guilty verdict is returned, and pay and allowances must be forfeited, the victim isn't left high and dry.
Defense Department policy authorizes commanders to pay for the victim's transportation to a safe place and the shipping of household goods provided there's an agreement between the spouses or the court has divided the property.
"The commander can also authorize the victim to receive up to 36 months of transitional compensation based on the servicemember's pay to help the victim get a new start," Lloyd said. "In addition to the compensation, the victim would be eligible for medical and dental benefits … and for exchange and commissary benefits for the same period of time.
"We want the victim not to feel that she's so dependent on the servicemember's pay that she has to suffer in silence," he added.
The time period for which those benefits are extended is dependent upon the amount of time left on the servicemember's enlistment contract, he said.
It's often taken for granted that all victims of domestic abuse are women, but Lloyd said that's not the case. About a third of the cases reported each year are reported by men.
"The good news is that we can work with them as well, our Family Advocacy Program people and our victim advocates," he said. "Also, the [male] victims tend not to have significant physical injuries. Women, because of their smaller body size and body mass, if they do get hit with violence, they tend to suffer more significant injuries than the men do."
But not all domestic violence is physical. Sometimes it's psychologically coercive, controlling behavior, he said.
How the reported domestic violence cases compare with the same demographic in the civilian population is unknown as there's no annual data collection system, Lloyd said. The department has contributed to the new National Intimate Partner Violence, Stalking and Sexual Violence Surveillance System, being developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"So for the first time, by the end of 2011, we should have some comparative data," he said.
The department keeps tabs on the number of cases reported throughout the military, however, and Lloyd said the trend since 2000 is a bit surprising.
"Despite the heavy stresses we've had from two wars, both the number of reports and the number of reports that meet [Family Advocacy Program] criteria, and the rate of such reports per 1,000 married couples, has declined rather steadily since the year 2000," he said. "We're always keeping an eye on it, because we're very mindful of the long-term effects of repeated long-term deployments. [They] can really wreak havoc on marriages and other relationships.
"We're not pleased, because we don't want to have any, but we think that the proactive stance the department is taking to try and support couples and families, and seriously dating couples … is maybe having a payoff," he added.
Numbers from the civilian population also show an overall decline, too, he said.
The department's efforts don't stop with adults; officials also have taken measures to address teen dating violence as well. Tool kits have gone out to Defense Department schools, defense youth programs and Family Advocacy Programs to help teens develop relationships that are nonviolent, Lloyd said.
Tommy T. Thomas, deputy undersecretary of defense for military community and family policy, reinforced the department's commitment to ending domestic violence.
"The Department of Defense and the military services are committed to providing strong family programs to prevent, identify, report, treat and follow-up cases of domestic abuse," he said. "As the nation observes Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we will continue our work to ensure that every home in the military community is a safe home."

News of Closure
We want to announce that Maranatha in Uxbridge will be closing on August 22nd. With immediate effect we are holding a 30% off Sale for all full priced items in the shop (see below for excluded items)
The Road We Must Travel
Jan says "I took this book to read on a retreat weekend before a conference and devoured it! With a multiplicity of authors you might expect such a compilation to be disjointed, but with the flow of the chapters and the style almost conversational, content was primary and the author secondary. It is a book I want to read again but slower, to savour the experiences and hard learnt lessons of these well-known authors and pastors. It was a mentoring experience with two overriding thoughts leaving their impression; as a church we must prioritise cultivating people of spiritual depth and to work effectively we must set aside space and time to hone our souls. Gordon Macdonald has a great illustration of farmers in the Alps using scythes. After ten minutes of cutting they would then spend five minutes sharpening the blade. Research has indicated that reading a physical book can create a deeper experience and lasting impression and if you were at CRT you may just have heard me enthusing about this book."
How to be Young Again
I was waiting for a hospital appointment recently and so decided to take a book to read, which was just as well because it was over 90 minutes late. I took Rob Parsons book Sixty Minute Grandparent because as a new granddad with a one year old grandson I thought it would be a book that I ought to read. Rob is one of those really practical writers that produce books packed full of down to earth sense. If you have ever heard Rob speak then there is also an added bonus in that he writes in such a way that you can hear him speaking as you read. His books can make you both laugh and cry as he shares his emotions through his writing.
Discipleship by David Watson
I was down at the Church yesterday afternoon while the worship practice was on. As Jan was playing I started reading David Watson's book Discipleship. Originally published in 1981 it has been reissued. So I was curious to see how reading it now compared to when I first read it back in 1981. Wow. What an impact. David pulls no punches in issuing an extremely strong challenge to the church to stop messing around and get back to discipling those who make a commitment to Christ.
Daniel Plan by Rick Warren
This is a great book written by Rick Warren (Purpose Driven Life) that looks at 5 key aspects of your life – FAITH : FOOD : FITNESS : FOCUS : FRIENDS and is based around a 40 day plan which has echoes of the structure of Purpose Driven Life. I naively thought that this was just a book based on the vegetarian eating habits of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego but soon realised that it was far from that. Rick Warren and two doctors have written a book that encompasses life – body, soul and spirit. It is based on the premise that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. Smoking harms it, over indulgence on alcohol harms it, but most people seem happy to stuff themselves with junk food and not see a problem with it.
I'm reading a very interesting book called 'AHA' by Kyle Idlemann. It's a book about the God Moment that changes everything. I suppose it is similar to an old fashioned phrase 'Finally the penny dropped'.

Cheap Tunes is an ongoing series about new music available for free or a small fee. Today's spin: Chance The Rapper's #10Day.
There's a great anecdote about the humble beginnings of iconic underground punk trio The Minutemen: The group's original driving force was D. Boon's mom, who encouraged her son and his then-new friend Mike Watt to start a band in order to keep them off the streets. It's a novel beginning for a punk band, but the idea of having teenagers take up creative activities to keep them out of trouble is nothing new–in fact, it's part of why many after-school programs exist. Today there are plenty of music-focused youth programs–like School of Rock–that help kids focus their energy on something positive and creative.
Chance The Rapper is one of countless teenagers funneling his talent into a musical project, but his new debut mixtape, #10Day, is atypical. For one thing, the Chicago MC started his new solo effort because he got into trouble: Facing a 10-day suspension from high school last year, Chance took the newfound free time to craft a mixtape, using the punishment as a source of inspiration and as the title for his debut. Last week, about a year after that fateful suspension and after months of promoting his forthcoming work, Chance dropped #10Day, and it's a noticeably strong first effort from a member of a thriving young hip-hop scene.
The Chicagoland area has garnered a dynamic teenage rap community, one that's home to a range of diverse styles and some stellar talent to boot. In last month's excellent Gawker profile on 16-year-old South Side rapper Chief Keef, David Drake detailed the young musical network that's developed in Chicago Public Schools and that's landed online via YouTube, allowing for a number of artists to build a grassroots following while remaining unknown inside the boundaries of normal promotional methods. The success of Keef's "Bang" video–which has more than a million YouTube views and counting–shined a light on that community and Keef in particular, a rapper with a visceral spin on the bombastic sounds of southern hip-hop often called trap.
Keef's style is one of many distinct versions of hip-hop circulating through the Chicago area. Kembe X has a classic spin on hip-hop, which helped make his excellent debut mixtape, Self Rule, one of the best free albums from last year. Julian Malone goes for a slightly melancholy, gauzy sound, an approach that infuses emotionally vulnerable moments with a hear-wrenching depth on his newish debut, Enemy: The Time & Loves of Malone.
Then there's Chance The Rapper, an artist who draws upon a pool of these musical elements and pieces them together into an accessible, fluid amalgamation. Want an anthemic, chest-rattling trap track? Check "F*** You Tahm Bout," a thundering song about standing up and proving yourself in the face of authorities–in this case, the teachers and administrators at Chance's school. Want a sample-based song that flirts with old school dynamics? Try "Prom Night," which uses Brenda Russell's jazzy R&B number "So Good, So Right" as its base. Want an emotionally taut tune? Try " Family." Something with a fatback funk beat? "14,400 Minutes."
Chance juggles a slew of sounds, and manages to come up with a cohesive collection, thanks in part to his chameleon-like nasally flow and soft croon. The mixtape isn't perfect, with missteps like the awkward Beirut sample on "Long Time" dragging things down, but Chance's ambition and vision dilute most of the problems on #10Day. Who knew a little bit of trouble could end up being such a good thing?

A police officer was trying to arrest a man for public intoxication, and in the process he was bit by the suspect.
Police say around 1:30 Friday morning, they found 20-year-old Hector Ocampo unconscious on a picnic table at Northgate near Texas A&M University. When they asked for his name, he told police it was confidential.
Investigators tried arresting him for failing to identify himself and public intoxication, but he fled on foot.
Officers were able to catch up with him and had Ocampo on the ground. While trying to put handcuffs on him, police say Ocampo bit the officer on his right knee.
The police officer had teeth marks, but no major injuries.
Ocampo was arrested for assaulting a public servant.

Central Front Smart Light
Issue : Aug 2014
Editorial Review
What makes the Blackburn Central Front Smart Light so smart? Unlike your Average Joe headlight, this clever new model has an automatic setting that adjusts the light output depending on your environment. Put it in smart mode and the headlight takes care of the rest, saving you power and running time by only engaging as many Lumens as needed (up to 500).
It's a pretty cool thing to see in action. My commute takes me from the glow of residential streetlights to a winding, pitch-black trail, and a sensor in the top of the light enables it to blaze and dim accordingly. Whether I ride through a covered bridge or down neon-lit city streets, the Central Front Smart Light comes through with just the right amount of power and distance.
If you'd prefer a consistent radiance, the light level can also be set manually on high, low, and strobe. It's rechargeable via a protected USB port and gets a full 12.5 hours of runtime in smart mode. Plus, thanks to color-coded illuminated fuel gauges, you can tell when it's time to recharge.
Just make sure to use the easy slide-off bracket to take the light with you when go inside—you're definitely not going to want to leave anything this nice on a locked-up bike.—Caitlin Giddings

{!hitembed ID="hitembed_1″ width="500″ height="281″ align="none" !}
Have you heard of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)? Then something has gone wrong for the wheelers and dealers. You aren't supposed to know about it. The TPP is, in theory, a free trade deal to foster economic cooperation between the United States and allied countries in the Asia-Pacific region. In truth it is "NAFTA on steroids."
The real agenda is less about trade and more about weakening sovereign power in favor of corporate power. Under TPP, national regulations will be overruled by corporate structures and governance. Nation-states will become junior partners with transnational corporations becoming the decision making authorities for global laws and rules.
TPP is also heavily focused on "intellectual property" rights. It could also be called "SOPA on steroids." All of the restrictions on the internet and then some, plus no democratic oversight.
And what "trade" deal would be complete without a nice dose of financial deregulation – though it seems the US Congress is eager to recrash the economy on its own. The TPP will also reportedly include rollbacks to financial regulations including a ban on capital controls, taxing financial speculation, and allows banksters to use supranational organizations to overrule democratic governments.
The TPP would ban capital controls, an essential policy tool to counter destabilizing flows of speculative money. Even the International Monetary Fund has recently endorsed capital controls as legitimate for mitigating or preventing financial crises.
The TPP would prohibit taxes on Wall Street speculation. That means that there would be no hope of passing proposals like the Robin Hood Tax, which would impose a tiny tax on Wall Street transactions to tamp down speculation-fueled volatility while generating hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of revenue for social, health, or environmental causes.
The TPP would empower financial firms to directly attack these government policies in foreign tribunals, and demand taxpayer compensation for policies they claim undermine their expected future profits.
In America, Wall Street has to bribe the president and Congress to be above from the law – under TPP they would be the law.
Suddenly it's not so hard to see the secrecy behind this agreement. The cover story is that this deal has designs to offer a united front against Chinese economic supremacy in Asia. But even if that is the primary motivation – which it clearly isn't – how does destroying the sovereignty of the TPP countries benefit anyone other than the corporate oligarchs? It doesn't. This is a bad deal for 99% of everyone in the countries involved who will have all democratic ability drained from their countries, becoming nothing more than corporate slaves.
TPP must be stopped at all costs.

Eger Donates Hair to Charity
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - For Pat Eger, giving back and providing an act of kindness is nothing new.
"It's in my blood and in my nature. My mom always taught me that sometimes it's better to give than receive," said Eger. "That's how I was raised."
The former West Virginia offensive lineman who concluded his Mountaineer career this past November, decided to do one last deed inside the confines of the WVU football facilities – donate his hair to charity.
Sunday afternoon, Eger, his family and friends gathered in the Player's Lounge at Milan Puskar Stadium.
Eger had been growing his hair out since September of 2010, when he and another former Mountaineer great decided to skip the barbershop over a friendly wager.
"Josh Jenkins and I were walking around after class to get our haircut, but then things changed," Eger said. "We agreed to grow our hair out and the first person who got their haircut had to buy the other dinner.
"Josh lost, and he bought me dinner. But then, I just kept growing it out. I loved it. After a while, I thought what better way to cap off my community service and everything I've done here in Morgantown then to give back. With this, I'm able to give it to someone who needs it."
The 6-6, 302-pounder donated 10 inches of his strawberry blonde hair to the Pantene Beautiful Lengths. The charity campaign permits individuals to donate hair for women and children who have lost theirs due to cancer treatment. In order to donate, you must have a minimum of eight inches of hair.
"The organization donates 100 percent of their wigs to children and women with cancer and in need," Eger said. "I thought Pantene was a good fit for me because it was more straight charity. I just like giving back."
"It was just something that I wanted to do, so I grew it out," Eger explained. "People knew me by the kid with the long, blonde hair."
Local hairstylist Seth Gartin had the pleasure of clipping and styling Eger's hair, after Mountaineer Jonathan Kimble clipped the 10-inch ponytail to be donated.
"We try to encourage people to donate," Gartin explained. "A lot of people have that attachment to their hair when it gets this long. I think it just shows the big heart and big soul that Pat has to actually be able to do something like this."
As for the new look Eger sports, it was one carefully planned prior to the cutting.
"We were going back and forth with what haircut to go with. I sent him a picture of something I like. I trust him. He's been cutting my hair forever," Eger said. "I feel good. It's a change. I'm done with football at WVU, and am moving on to the next phase of my life."
Since football season came to an end, Eger has been working toward his goal of playing professional football. But even if that doesn't work out, don't expect the Jefferson Hills, Pa., native to stop lending a helping hand.
"I've been giving back my entire life and I don't plan to stop," Eger said. "Even if I don't play professional football, I'll still do it."

Sri Lankan Red Pumpkin Curry Recipe
Sri Lanka
20 Mar 13
The launch of Sri Lanka's second convivium, Slow Food Nuwara Eliya, in January was celebrated with a feast of Sri Lankan dishes made with local ingredients. New convivium leader Roger Abeyagoonesekera said the aim was to "bring the message of good food culture to local small farmers and farm holders" in this hill district of the Central Province, a rolling picturesque landscape that supports the nation's most important tea production.
Many of the dishes on the day used ingredients that are disappearing from the average household's kitchen as they become harder to find or are considered too labor intensive to process, according to chef Duminda Abyesiriwardena, a founding Slow Food member in Sri Lanka who oversaw the preparation of the feast.
"These flavorful dishes exemplify the Slow Food philosophy, using local ingredients and traditional methods that are being lost to new generations," he said. "It's my goal as a chef to help get Sri Lankan culture back on track, and to steer youth away from the masses of fast food options that are attracting them."
This recipe for spicy pumpkin curry, instead uses a vegetable found readily across the country and the world. Enjoy it with a selection of other curries or simply with roti or rice.
cooking oil
1 small onion, diced
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 small knob of ginger, finely chopped
1 tsp curry powder
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
a few karapincha (curry leaves)
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
200 g pumpkin, chopped
150 ml coconut milk
salt and pepper to taste
5 tsp grated coconut, toasted (optional)
Heat a little oil in a pan and sauté onion, garlic and ginger on medium heat.
Add the curry leaves, powdered spices and cumin seeds.
Add the pumpkin and coconut milk and mix well with the other ingredients.
Bring to the boil and simmer until pumpkin is tender.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, spread the grated coconut over an oven tray and bake at a moderate heat until brown, taking care not to burn it. Cool and sprinkle over the curry when serving.
See photos of the launch of Slow Food Nuwara Eliya on facebook.

#Social Clutz Loveable Spaz#The Flinger Family
Our kids are images of our inner selves. I noted that in the past, when I saw so much of my own personality in her. But now that she's older, I see how much of our mannerisms, our quirky characteristics and our obsessive/compulsive behaviors rub off on these impressionable little people.
For example.
Here I have documented the color coding our two year old has recently taken to. One day, blue became Daddy's, red became LB's and everything green became Mommy's. We try to ask her what color the baby gets but her head spins in circles, her eyes glaze over and she starts to drool. We try to persuade her in to mixing up the colors and handing the wrong color to the other person but she's way to bright for that. (Is it bright? Or anal like mommy?) And, in the end, she not only catches me asking for coffee, but steers me toward water. Then my choice is milk? Or water?
Not that she hears that all day long.
*note: There's an uncut version on the podcast site. I just figured some of you nice people might have other things to do with your time than watch our home movies. No? Swell. I made popcorn.
Mmm popcorn!
She is too cute. Uh, is there really something wrong with color coding everything? Really? I color code/coordinate everything.
And you are one funny lady. "You pea-d on the floor!"
By mdvelazquez on 2007 01 24
GIRL she is adorable! CB has a hard act to follow
By brandi on 2007 01 24
What a cutie! My daughter enjoys watching it and asks, "is that my friend? does she live far, far away?" I think she would sit here and watch it over and over again!
By Ali on 2007 01 24
Awwww! Such a cutie pie! LB's clearly very advanced… I love that she wouldn't give you coffee. We have the same peas!
Please pass the popcorn…
By Marie on 2007 01 24
My daughter loves this movie too and now that she's seen it she keep asking, "Again! Again! Again!" At least we've got something new to entertain us today.
By Colleen on 2007 01 24
She's a doll!
By Karly on 2007 01 24
This is interesting to me because I don't see anything like myself or my husband in either of our kids! Maybe other people pick up on it or maybe the girls just have their own things going on.
By texasbelle on 2007 01 24
Abby loves watching it too. She keeps pointing at LB saying "GUHL! GUHL!"
By BrandiB on 2007 01 24
Hilarious! When you think about it, how much easier would the world be if everything we color coded according to ownership? A jury wouldn't have to guess when there was an issue of property ownership at trial… A divorces attorney would make quick work of settlements - "Well, that's blue, so clearly the husband get it when they divorce." Children are way smarter than any of us give them credit for being.
By NG on 2007 01 24
I'm going to eat her up!!!!
By kelli on 2007 01 24
That is so cute! And sorry…but I have to say I LOVE how she says "no" when you try and mess with her mind. Its like if she could say "how many times do I have to tell you that you get green mommy. Get it straight"...she totally would! You guys are raising a orderly smarty!!!
By Marjorie on 2007 01 24
Her anal retentiveness is adorable. And this is coming from someone who has completely color coded her life. Not joke they tease me about it in my office. Great video, I needed a giggle on a day like today.
By Emily on 2007 01 24
"You pea'd on the floor." LOL! You're quick, Mrs. Flinger. I like you!
By Laura on 2007 01 24
I confess, the pea-d on the floor comment is a long time family joke.
Like. Every. Time. Someone. Drops. A. Pea.
And LB always watches everyone else's videos and calls them her friend. "See my friend?" So it's cracking me up that your kids are doing the same. These little people are a hoot. (I said Hoot like an 80 year old. Yes I did.)
By Mrs. Flinger on 2007 01 24
I cracked up a few seconds into it when you suggested "go get mommy's plate" and she goes "Okay!" like it's such an exciting mission. Then when you asked her "How do you make mommy coffee" I was half expecting her to say "Go to Stabucks!"
The color thing I think is a rite of passage, or my boy's anal-retentive compliments of his own mommy. He gets mad if you mess up his color-coordinated lego skyscraper.
btw - I never knew her real name before! Learn something new every day…
By Lanna on 2007 01 24
OCD occurs along a wide spectrum. She is not OCD (yet?), but she is darn cute!
She may also be exhibiting a bit of synesthesia, which is not that unusual in early childhood. It involves criss-cross among sensory modalities, like smelling colors or feeling sounds. Something about each family member (smell, sound, look, etc.) may make her think of those colors.
Or she may just like categories! I predict she'll be a labeler.
By SaraS-P on 2007 01 24
SaraS-P, Smarti-pants.
And, oh yes, she will be a labeler. I rejoice in passing mine down…
By Mrs. Flinger on 2007 01 24
"Is that Daddy's cup?"
Love it!
OH! And she "peed" on the floor. AHHHHHH!
And we get served "tea" all day long. You'd think we were British.
PS We have that same little kitchen (Target rocks).
By Elaine on 2007 01 25
oh so cute!
I think the baby gets yellow - that's the color that remains, right?
She's such a cutie!
By rachel on 2007 01 25
You "pea'd" on the floor… SNORFLE! She is just SUCH a doll!

Pepperoni and Mushroom Pasta
This recipe "happened" during a weekend in May when my better half and I were foraging for mushrooms in the morel-happy hillsides of western Wisconsin. Invited to spend the night with my husband's brother, who was staying at a condo resort nearby, we had brought along some pantry staples and a package of Organic Prairie's pepperoni slices, with the idea of throwing something together after the hunt. Pizza or pasta sounded good to everyone, so I made both—that is, I combined pizza toppings with cooked pasta, then baked everything with cheese on top.
Just-picked gourmet mushrooms and a vacation condo setting aren't requirements for this dish, but they sure don't hurt it, either! Amounts are approximate; feel free to play with the recipe.
