I think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.
I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this is a somewhat new kind of religion.
I've been impressed, over the last 15 years, with how often the somewhat conspiratorial comments of Haitian villagers have been proven to be correct when the historical record is probed carefully.
I admit I was somewhat concerned when we started to sign so many players - naturally you are going to worry about whether you can retain your place in the side.
I found marriage somewhat stifling. I don't know that I am the kind of man who ought to be married.
Great men lose somewhat of their greatness by being near us; ordinary men gain much.
Travel can also be the spirit of adventure somewhat tamed, for those who desire to do something they are a bit afraid of.
There's a lot of peer pressure to not do positive stories out of Iraq... I think there's a sense that the administration got a pass during the hot days of war and now that the war is over it's time to even out the deck somewhat.
I find it somewhat difficult to write with other people, although it has happened occasionally.
I had been offered fellowships to enter as a graduate student at either Harvard or Princeton. But the Princeton fellowship was somewhat more generous, since I had not actually won the Putnam competition... Thus Princeton became the choice for my graduate study location.
We seem to somewhat be behind an eight ball, and what I mean by that is we're constantly waiting for a call from Neil as to whether he wants to do CSNY.
The fact that my 15 minutes of fame has extended a little longer than 15 minutes is somewhat surprising to me and completely baffling to my wife.
Well, the years from 10 to 20, when your body, mind and everything is like changing every five minutes, can be pretty torturing. And most of the interesting characters, I think, are somewhat tortured or torturous. I'm 20 now, so I'm only just an adult.
I read some, and then visited with people involved in this curious, exciting and somewhat misunderstood sub-culture. I met with a fang maker, who offered to fit me for an exquisite pair.
I think that American people really know how to pursue fun, they really know how to have a good time. Japanese are somewhat more reserved than Americans, so I'm jealous.
I loved Old School. I thought Old School was very different than a lot of the comedies that had come out. And that character I liked. I tried to ground him very much in reality and play him very much finding things important to him that are somewhat ridiculous.
Americans have always had an ambivalent attitude toward intelligence. When they feel threatened, they want a lot of it, and when they don't, they regard the whole thing as somewhat immoral.
I prefer to imagine that my wife, a few friends, and occasionally my mom are the only ones who read what I do, though I realize that this is somewhat unrealistic.
Jaws was still a handsome, big guy. He got the girl. He was my favorite villain. I tried to make this guy endearing somewhat because all he wanted to do was unite his country.
It is long since I could have adventured on eternity, through God's mercy and Christ's merits; but death remained somewhat terrible, and that now is taken away; and now death is no more to me, but to cast myself into my husband's arms, and to lie down with Him.
IT is curious that, with my somewhat antinomian tendencies, I should have gone to Trinity Hall - which was, and is, before all a Law College - and should thus have been thrown into close touch with the legal element in life.
With my somewhat vague aspiring mind, to be imprisoned in the rude details of a most material life was often irksome.
In Halloween, I viewed the characters as simply normal teenagers. Laurie, Jamie Lee's character, was shy and somewhat repressed. And Michael Myers, the killer, is definitely repressed. They have certain similarities.

Owen,I left out any commentary on this post, beuasce I simply do not know enough about Mortgagebot to comment. With that said however, I found it interesting that they received such a valuation and thought it was worth posting. Again, I don't have details on Mortgagebot but at $231m acquisition price and the current revenue rate of $37m per year, you are looking at a 5-6 year turn around time. Seems like an inflated acquisition price to me. Maybe someone else can add color to this post?[]

You are correct. Leona Kingery remarried to LeRoy Hansberger on Aug
14, 1931. She died January 19, 1978. LeRoy passed on July 15, 1991.
His obituary should be in the Worthington Globe files. I have the
clipping but not the date. I do not have Leona's obituary.
I have no info on Lloyd Sr. or Jr. Am interested in your info.
Leona is the 10th child of Madison (aka Matt) JC McClellan Kingery, my
Great-Grand father).

May 18, 2011 For their parents' generation, finances seemed relatively simple — the economy was good, money was flowing. Today's youth, though, live in a tougher economic climate, so many are learning to budget better and earlier. And new technologies — from home software to mobile apps — are advancing their money smarts.

May 13, 2011 A steady savings plan can produce dramatic results. If you put aside $100 a month starting at age 20 and keep at it, you'll accumulate more than $114,000 by the time you're 65. That assumes a 3 percent interest rate. If you sock away $250 a month and rates go up to 5 percent, you'll end up with more than $500,000. Plug your own numbers into this calculator.

Leaning Through the Wall. ~ David Firmage
I frequently find myself struggling with the chasm between how things are and how I want them to be.
Right now it's appearing in relationships, in waiting for the perfect job, in wanting more security in finances.
That little gnome is sitting on my shoulder incessantly whispering self-doubts.
Sound familiar?
But this letter is about struggling with a relationship and the insanity of continually banging my head.
A few nights ago this poem came in my dreams. It's a work in progress, but this is what crept in at 5:14 a.m.
This is a brick wall.
Though highly useful
in segmenting
what's mine from yours,
it's not a soft feather
nor a sandy beach.
Physics says
it's mostly space.
And ever useful
as a slate
to write the future.
It's effect is
I'll save my head the pain.
I think it was a prologue to another early morning missive from two years ago.
Straight lines
rarely show
in a natural land.
Bend your mind.
This morning I was taken back to teachings from my childhood—the Bible's book of Matthew, chapters five through seven, known as the Sermon on the Mount. Here, Jesus asks that we love our enemies, that we judge not, that we remove the sliver from our own eye and, I think most importantly, that when struck, we turn the other cheek.
Basically the sermon is the Golden Rule, "do unto others as you would have done unto you."
It finally dawned on me, through personal test, that these truths are not for the benefit of others per se, but as a way to experience the transformative power of compassion in action. Removing the brick walls as a form of maitri.
An unconditional love and friendship, starting from within, and opening to the world.
As I resist the nature of a situation, I am a mason, laying row after row of brick on which to hang mirrors for projection. If one's intent is to push against, then walls are a must. But when I respond to that anxious space, that pain, by turning the other cheek, I remove myself altogether from the karmic dance.
It's a way to lean in, as Pema Chodron would say. With the wall gone, there is nothing to push against, and space opens up for something new.
A new space for myself.
Today, I know that trying to live the Golden Rule is like yoga for my heart—bending and stretching me beyond comfort, beyond myself.
It takes my love to the edge, where we meet, and smile.

Al & Alimay (No pairing)
(Eyes of Alphonse; Age 14)
There we sat. On the train to Central for Nii-san to report back to Colonel Mustang about our mislead in Lior. In Lior, Alimay was still healing from her throat wound back in Libithum, so I kept her safe by putting her in my armor, but even so, the Philosophizers Stone was a fake. Our first big lead turned out to fake. What was even more confusing, was that Father Cornelo was even dumbfounded at the fake stone. Alimay says she's studied her great deal about the stone, and she might know more than Nii-san and I. So she'll be a great help for our search.
"Where are we headed to now, Nii-san?" I clasped my hands and waited for an answer.
"Where do you think?" He had his face leaning on his hand as he stared out the window with a blank stare.
"Central." After I had responded, there was an awkward moment of silence. Then, Alimay's voice broke the silence.

Both Norris & Rhee state they taught Lee his kicks. I'm willing concede they may have gave him pointers & influenced his technique, but Lee had a background in Long Fist & Northern Mantis, both of which are known for their high kicking techniques.:5yinyang:

Lee and Rhee were very good friends as were Lee and Norris. So yes I am sure he improved his kicking skills with them, but to say Choi's TKD was what gave Lee his kicking ability is just an outward lie, same with saying that it gave Norris his knowledge in kicking.

post it does not say what was what was posted here. It does not say General Choi and Kim Un Yong were at the same poker game, it only lists them seperately as being importannt figures. With regard to Chuck Norris learning TKD, his very own book (i think his last one refers to hsi history with TKD so it's reasoneable for someone to take him at his word for this generalization.
So, there was nothing for the author to correct in this very gneral statement.

Current biome maps of South America perform poorly in depicting seasonally dry tropical forest distribution due to poor spatial resolution and biome delimitation and may be improved by the use of georeferenced herbarium data in conjunction with bioclimatic data.

1. Dining Without Contact
At a new restaurant in San Francisco, California, you order, pay and receive your food and never interact with a person. It's at a place called Eatsa, which is the first outlet in an almost-fully-automated chain with national ambitions. There are no waiters or even order takers behind a counter (in fact, there's no counter). You order on your smart phone or on an in-store iPad, and unseen people prepare the food. It pops up in a cubbyhole that flashes your name. Restaurants are always looking for new ways to attract customers. Eatsa features a healthy menu as well as total automation. In the newspaper or online, find an ad for a restaurant that is offering something unique or unusual to attract customers. Write a paragraph describing what kind of customers the restaurant would attract. Then write a second paragraph describing an idea of your own that you think would attract customers to the restaurant.
Common Core State Standards: Producing clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization and style are appropriate to the task; conducting short research projects that build knowledge about a topic; citing specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions.
2. Blacks Distrust Hospice Care
In the Uniterd States, use of hospice care has been growing fast, as more people choose to avoid extensive medical treatment at the end of life in favor of care that just keeps patients comfortable. Yet African Americans have long resisted the concept. Researchers have found that while nearly half of white Medicare patients enrolled in hospice care before death, only a third of black patients did. Instead, African Americans have been more inclined to choose aggressive life-sustaining treatments and interventions, even when there is little chance of survival. Black physicians say the distrust of hospice care among African Americans can be traced to the history of U.S. health care system, which once displayed "No Negroes" signs at hospitals, performed involuntary sterilizations and turned people away because of poverty, lack of insurance or lack of a full time doctor. African Americans and white Americans have often had differing opinions about issues in the news this year. In the newspaper or online, find and read a story about an issue on which blacks and whites have had different points of view. Write a paragraph or short essay, summarizing the differences and the source of those differences.
Common Core State Standards: Writing informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and information clearly; citing specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions.
3. China Reducing Military
With thousands of troops standing at attention in Tiananmen Square before hundreds of Communist Party leaders, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced that more than a 10th of China's military personnel are being demobilized. A Ministry of National Defense spokesman said later that the military will reduce its forces by about 300,000 soldiers by the end of 2017, focusing on "forces with outdated equipment … bureaucracy and noncombat personnel." The Asian nation of China is now a world power, both politically and economically. In the newspaper or online, find and read stories about China's growing influence in the world. Use what you read to brainstorm a short video or film highlighting Chinese influence. Write an outline for your film, including images you would use, and write the opening scene. Discuss ideas as a class.
Common Core State Standards: Writing narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events; conducting short research projects that build knowledge about a topic; engaging effectively in a range of collaborative discussions.
4. 'Mayo' Really Isn't
"Just Mayo" is a mislabeled product, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has ruled, because it isn't really mayonnaise. It isn't made with eggs, the FDA notes, and has other "ingredients … not permitted by the standard of identity for mayonnaise." That may be misleading to consumers, the FDA warned Hampton Creek Foods, based in San Francisco. The company has responded to the FDA in an effort to work out a compromise solution, but food experts say it likely will have to change its labeling. The FDA regulates foods to make sure they are safe and marketed honestly to customers. In the newspaper or online, find and read a story about the FDA commenting or taking action on a food. Use what you read to write a letter to the editor, detailing the value of having the FDA monitor foods sold to the public.
Common Core State Standards: Writing informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and information clearly; reading closely what a text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it.
5. A Record Number of Sharks
A record number of sharks were observed swimming in East Coast waters this summer, and in at least one area (off North Carolina), a record number of beachgoers were attacked by them. The National Oceanographic Atmospheric Administration captured and tagged 2,835 sharks in coastal waters between North Carolina and Florida, a number way up from the previous summer record of 1,831. Scientists say that warming waters are attracting many species of shark to migrate farther north and close to the shore. The number also may be larger because of federal regulations limiting commercial shark fishing. The number of sharks wasn't the only record contained in the NOAA shark survey. Scientists also recorded the longest shark ever captured off North Carolina, a 12.5-foot-long tiger shark. The increased number of shark sightings is one effect of rising ocean temperatures due to global warming. In the newspaper or online, read about another change that has been brought about by global warming. Clip or print images and words from the newspaper to illustrate the change in an art collage.
Common Core State Standards: Integrating information presented in different media or formats to develop a coherent understanding of a topic; conducting short research projects that build knowledge about a topic.

Canadian singer Alanis Morissette has continued the great Canadian tradition of standing up for Israel, by coming to Israel to perform despite the taunts, criticism and outright bullying of BDSholes.
Morissette decided to expedite her arrival so that her family could enjoy a few days in Israel, including a visit to Jerusalem's Old City.
The singer, best known for her 1995 album "Jagged Little Pill," which has sold in excess of 33 million copies worldwide, said she was "delighted" to return to the country. "I had a great time in Israel professionally, spiritually and emotionally," she said in a media statement.
She's got one hand in her pocket, and the other one is giving the Israel-haters an "up yours" sign.

|Deluxe is crap. Buy the standard.
Thank you so much for your comments on the deluxe packaging. I've been trying to find someone who had a comment regarding it. You've steered at least 1 fan now in the right direction. Wish they would have at least thrown it a bonus track like 2 other countries have. Thanks again!

|Key Info
This house in a living, wine-producing village offers an authentic French experience. Tucked away on a small square behind the church, the house is a few minutes walk away from the village shops (baker, butcher, grocer, tabac etc.) and twice-weekly market. You can walk or cycle (bikes have to be hired) for miles through vineyards, over hills, or along the Canal du Midi. There are local 'fêtes' in the summer, the August 'feria' in Béziers, jousting in Sète, organised wine walks and tasting (Saint-Chinian, Faugères, Coteaux du Languedoc, Minervois etc.) A short drive away you have the beach, Narbonne (a lesser known treasure!) and other interesting towns, Cathare sites such as Minerve, the Corbières, and an aqua & Safari park and river beaches for children. Nîmes and Montpellier are within easy reach in one direction and the Pyrenees and N. Spain in the other.
The house has preserved its nineteenth century features (elegant tiles, large rooms, high ceilings and marble fireplaces), and is pleasantly cool in summer and well heated in winter. It is comfortably appointed for anything from 2 to 8 people: there are 3 reception rooms and five bedrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen. In the front there is a large sunny courtyard to eat in, or enjoy a drink and watch the evening sky change over the 'fortress' church tower. If you prefer to eat out, the local butcher does good ready prepared meals, but there is a range of good restaurants around, including several right on the Canal.

The Languedoc-Roussillon region
The village of Cruzy is in the heart of the Languedoc, on the borders of the Herault and the Aude, at the point where the flat coastal plain begins to get green and hilly. You will walk through vineyards, fruit trees and perfumed 'garrigue'. July and August are usually generally hot and fairly dry, and September and October can also bring sunny sunny days and blue skies. The area bears many traces of the Romans, and has a wealth of abbeys, medieval villages and other monuments.
The walks - or cycle or boat trips - up the Canal du Midi (a UNESCO heritage site) can take you to the famous 'seven locks' outside Beziers, or to Salleles d'Aude with its antiques, bookshop, restaurants and Roman pottery museum.
Visit the wonderful church in Capestang, then sit and eat while you watch the boats moor nearby. In Narbonne see the best Roman frescoes outside of Pompei, visit the impressive archbishop's palace, and one of France's most beautiful covered markets.
You can swim on the miles of sandy beach near Narbonne, swim in the river at Bize, or you can swim or canoe in the river Orb at Roquebrun, or on Lake Salagou.
In the villages around Cruzy, you can book for a wine walk through the vineyards, culminating in a wine tasting, and finish your evening in one of the many excellent restaurants on or near the Canal du midi.
The fish and shellfish, the fruit and vegetables, the cheeses, the patisseries are worth coming specially for - not to mention the wine!
Finally, don't miss Carcassonne, Nimes, the Millau bridge, Montpellier, Nimes..... and much more.
