Does it work?
That depends on what you mean by "work." If your goal is to use fewer diapers and get your baby practicing a skill that he'll certainly use later, the answer is yes. If your goal is to have a young baby who never needs diapers again and never has an accident, the answer is probably no.
Given parents' success stories, some babies apparently can learn to read their bodies' signals and get themselves to the potty as soon as they're mobile – but undoubtedly others will need more time to develop the skill (or, perhaps, the interest). There's no way to know how it'll go for your child unless you give it a try.
If your main goal is getting your child trained sooner than average, that's something you can attempt whether you use the infant potty training method or the more common approach. If your child isn't taking to it, though, it's probably worth waiting until he exhibits signs that he's ready.
How can I get started?
It's best to start between birth and 4 months, according to those who've used infant potty training. (If you start with an older child, it may take longer for him to learn, as he'll have to "unlearn" his diapering behavior.) Here are the basic steps:
• Watch your baby and get to know his elimination patterns. When and how often does your baby go to the bathroom? Does he always go at a particular time of day – right after waking up, for example? Does he make any particular noises, gestures, or expressions when he has to go?
• When your baby makes one of his typical elimination signs, hold him gently over a toilet, a potty, or even a bucket or pot, which may better suit his tiny size.
• While he's relieving himself, make a noise that your baby will learn to associate with elimination (many parents use ssssss or some other waterlike sound; others use a word or phrase like "go potty").
• Repeat this sound or phrase whenever you see that your baby has to go, and also while he's going, so he'll learn to recognize it as a signal and connect his own impulses with the act of using the potty.
• When an accident happens, be matter-of-fact about it and stay relaxed. Advocate and mother of five Parise says your attitude helps your child stay relaxed about the process, too.
• During the nighttime, keep a potty right by the bed and put your baby on it before nursing or if he's restless during the night. Some advocates say that babies rarely pee or poop during a deep sleep and will usually become restless or give some sort of sign sufficient to wake a parent when they need to go – assuming that you're co-sleeping. (Other advocates say that using diapers at night is fine. Even self-proclaimed infant potty training "evangelist" Lynch admits, "In our house, sleep trumps pee.") If you opt to put your baby down sans diaper, place him on a waterproof mattress pad in case of an accident.
• Be flexible. You don't have to be a purist to practice infant potty training. As mentioned above, it's fine to use diapers sometimes (at night, or when you're out, for instance) if it makes life easier. If you can, use cloth diapers, since disposables are so absorbent that your baby often won't realize when he's wet or soiled.
• Stay positive. Avoid using pressure or punishment. However and whenever your child learns to use the potty, training should be gentle and positive, and done with a sense of humor. The goal is to help your child get in tune with his body and feel good about using the potty.

Global Cool has been a little quiet lately — but most orgs have probably been waiting for the waves of Live Earth to pass before announcing anything new.
Anyways, the group Maroon 5 announced plans last night at Hollywood's House of Blues to team up with Global Cool and make their upcoming tour as eco-friendly as possible. From the article,
"The Grammy winning five-piece is set to launch their worldwide outing in Detroit on 29th September. Supported by special guests, The Hives, the LA based band will play a further 27 US cities before heading to the UK and Europe in November.
'We can't wait to get out on the road and perform in arenas,' said frontman Adam Levine. 'We're also proud to be working with Global Cool to make the tour environmentally friendly. Our world is in a serious predicament right now, and we all need to play a role in reversing the catastrophic affects of global warming.'"
It's no surprise that Adam is cozying up to Global Cool — the lead singer talked to us on the red carpet earlier this year about his green initiatives. In addition to Global Cool's work on the tour, the band will also be "donating $1 from every ticket purchased on the US leg of their tour to cover the cost of offsetting any remaining unavoidable CO2 emissions."
Very "cool" indeed.

Your Fitness Band Can Now Tell If You're Over-Caffeinated
It's pretty simple in the sense that all you need to do is enter every cuppa Joe, energy drink, tea, etc., and then it locates your buzzing level on a spectrum ranging from "wired" to "ready for sleep." It does this by measuring the amount of caffeine and your sleep patterns. So, if you have the band, the app is able to actually suggest which times (based on your circadian rhythm) you should put the mug down. Getting those Zs in is no joke, so if you're swigging the mud out of control, you might want to invest in this new tool. Step away from that steamy cup and download now! (Fast Company)

I see that vests are pretty popular. So, you are clearly giving up something, but what are you gaining other than the loss of weight?I like vests, but haven't honestly really relied on a vest to keep me warm to survive OR just stay warm when I can't go into the house OR car for some extra layers OR full jacket!I'm buying one of the other this week, so I best make up my mind fast! I do most of my hiking in the summer here in Michigan. I'll likely wear it to bed to assist keeping me warm on those cold nights in my tent.
I already have a windproof-rainproof shell on my rain jacket, so I don't need another one. For insulation, I have one down inner jacket and one down vest.If I think the weather might get a little cool, I can take the down inner jacket. If I think it will get downright cold, then I can take the down vest with it. In either case for wind, the rain jacket goes over it.--B.G.--
I carry down sleeves for sleeping and always wear them since I like to stick my arms out of my quilt (stomach sleeper.) Add a vest and I have a versatile, fully modular system.
Edited by drewjh on 06/25/2013 02:37:55 MDT.
I just use vest.I don't like the constriction of sleeves when I move my arms around.Temperature of arms is less than torso so the insulation around torso does more good. With long sleeve shirt, vest, and jacket for walking around, or shirt, vest, quilt sleeping I stay warm down to 20 F.
OK! I'm going with the vest!

"Today" (via Al Tompkins)
Silverton, Colo., has a population of 637 in the last census, but it didn't let its newspaper die, Bob Dotson reports on "Today." The San Juan County Historical Society agreed in 2009 to become publisher of the Silverton Standard. "History and news are really the same thing," Standard editor/reporter/circulation manager Mark Esper tells Dotson. "It's just a matter of what time it is."
The Standard was presented with a historical marker by the Society of Professional Journalists last week. In his account of the ceremony, Esper quotes himself telling the crowd, "I don't want to be the last editor of the Silverton Standard." Esper convinced the historical society to take over ownership after becoming concerned that the previous owner, which also owned the Telluride Daily Planet and the Norwood Post, was going to shut down the paper. Area schoolchildren, Dotson reports, raised $2,000 to keep the paper going.
Reached by telephone, Esper says the Standard got on "Today"'s radar after Sonya Doctorian made a video about the paper's survival. Doctorian, now deputy director of photography at The Washington Post, was based in Denver at the time having worked at the Rocky Mountain News. A producer from "Today" happened to see Doctorian's video, Esper says, and the story was recorded in Silverton over four days in March. Esper says the attention has been exciting for the town, though "there's some disappointment," he says, "because a lot of people didn't make the final cut."
Esper's last job was at the Traverse City Record-Eagle in Michigan; he's also worked at The St. Ignace News. Silverton's population swells in the summertime when the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad deposits tourists into the town daily. Rack sales double in the summer, Esper says. The paper's published every Thursday; every week Esper drives over two mountain passes each way to Durango, Colo., about 50 miles away, to pick up the printed papers.
In 2009, former Rocky Mountain News editor John Temple, who is also now at The Washington Post, wrote that the Standard's newspaper box was the last one in town after The Denver Post and The Durango Herald pulled out: "The Post's owner had always vowed to deliver his print paper all across the state, but his stance apparently changed once the Rocky died."
Local ownership makes a big difference to people in town. Doctorian interviewed kids on Razor scooters who told her everyone reads the paper. Wiley Carmack, owner of the local shop Outdoor World, said of the paper: "I want this to be a living, breathing organism that ticks people off now and then and other times they can applaud it."
One of the Standard's verticals is news about kids in town; reporter Kacey Foster tells Dotson, "We all just really like looking at it, seeing ourselves in it." There's also a poetic weather column written by Freddie Canfield, "otherwise known as the guy at the dump," Esper told Doctorian. Subscriptions have doubled in the past year, Esper says in the "Today" segment, and the paper made a profit of $236. When Dotson laughs, Esper says, "Hey, that's more money than a lot of big metros make. Don't sneeze at that."

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
'Excuse me," she said and I turned from my perusal of the wall of cute khaki and navy pants to a woman standing near me holding up a blue and tan striped tank top and a blue skirt. "Do you think these look good together? Cute?"
I squelched the urge to tell her I'm the wrong person to be asking and instead decided to overcome my fashionably challenged induced low self esteem and give her my opinion. I smiled and gave the ensemble in question a quick look see.
It was cute.
"I think it looks good together," I said and she smiled and said she thought so, too, but always liked to get someone else's opinion. She seemed sweet. She said she probably could even wear the outfit to church if she added a sweater and I said yes, she probably could. Have a great afternoon, she said, and I told her to do the same. She disappeared with her tank top and skirt and I turned my attention to a rack of cotton dresses.
And then, there it was. I didn't recognize it at first, the voice, not from the first few words at least. And then it hit me ... it was the woman I had just been talking to. Yelling. Loudly. At a little boy.
"Get your $#%@ hands off of my clothes," I heard her say and I stepped out from the aisle to see her standing a ways down with her back to a small boy no older than four or five, I would guess. He reached up and pulled at her shirt and she ignored him, looking instead at sweaters laid out on a shelf in front of her. He pulled on it again.
"Are you stupid? Did you hear me tell you not to touch me? #$@%!," she said and walked away from him, mumbling. The little boy started to cry. The woman stopped dead in her tracks and turned to face him. She stood there staring straight at his face as he cried and I watched as he mouthed the word "mama" between tiny sobs. A few seconds passed and I thought maybe, just maybe, she was going to console him.
But I was wrong.
"Shut up," she said. "Your #@$ is getting on my nerves and I'm leaving you at home by yourself next time." She turned around quickly and that's when she saw me just standing there. Staring at her. I can't imagine the look I must have had on my face. She didn't say a word.
"Let's go," she said to the little boy and took him by the hand. Not gently. Not lovingly, even, but I could tell he was happy that she was holding his hand at all. I watched as they walked past me, her skirt and tank top draped over her arm. I felt sick, to think only minutes earlier I'd actually thought of her as a nice person. She wasn't a nice person.
It isn't the first time I've heard an adult scream obscenties at a child, treat them horribly, humiliate them in public. I stare at them. Sometimes I say something. More than once I've been told to mind my own business. "I'm having a bad day," one mother said as she apologized for screaming at her little girl and cursing her, and I hadn't even said a word ... just been standing nearby. Lots of people have bad days, but they don't abuse — emotionally or physically — their children.
To the lady in the clothing store, I gave you my opinion once. If you asked for it now I'd have to tell you that I think you're a bad mother and you should stop treating your child that way. Get help.
I'm ashamed I didn't tell you that when I saw you.
Because you're not cute. Not cute at all.

Women in America are increasingly afflicted with a narcissism unmatched in the the western world. Everything has to be about them. It is a product of feminism, perceived empowerment and celebrity culture. Children claim some of the attention that used to belong to the mother and that causes the mother to lash out and resent the kids. They are cramping her style. You saw first-hand what is happening with greater frequency and it's going to get worse. Females with narcissistic personality disorder are on the rise. What a shame.
AlbanyIsTooDarkDuringTheDay 3 years, 9 months ago
Well dang, Billy Bob, what would these women do without us men telling them what to do. I say we just take away their right to vote and put 'em back to where they belong.
On a serious note; Billy Bob you are adding to the southern stereotype with that comment. I guess you just learned a new word today and felt the need to use it in a sentence.
billybob 3 years, 9 months ago
Don't shoot the messenger. A very short search for American women and narcissism will yeild plenty of data verifying that is almost an epidemic and it's getting worse. Do your own research and draw your own conclusions. Declining marriage rates, increasing divorce rates, "hook-up" culture, they're all a part of this.
AlbanyIsTooDarkDuringTheDay 3 years, 9 months ago
...and this problem is due to women becoming whores?
I would have thought that men hooking up with anything with a va-jay-jay was the root cause.
Silly me, obviously I am the less-informed.
albanyherald1 3 years, 9 months ago
My heart is hurting! This poor child! And to think the author only witnessed a brief, passing moment of what this child goes thru 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That's no life for a child. It sickens me that these women have any children at all. I will pray that this child has someone intervene on his behalf very soon.

For playing my music collection I use mpd with:
For playing non-permanent audio that isn't in my mpd database such as downloads, streams, stuff hosted on other networks etc. I use scripts which call mplayer command line, sometimes in conjunction with a named pipe and aplay (to get gapless if required) and for mplayer's bs2b filter (meier crossfeed for headphone listening is nice).
I don't know if Android is UNIX-like for the purposes of this poll; if not then moderator please feel free to amend my votes. On Android I run Rockbox and DeadBeef much like I run mpd and mplayer on Debian: Rockbox for my collection, and DeadBeef for the temporary stuff, streams, online radio playlists etc.

Obama Tells North Carolinians He Knows Best
8:23 PM, May 9, 2012 • By JEFFREY H. ANDERSON
President Obama was never likely going to win in North Carolina without a big win nationally. Yet his campaign insisted on pretending so, going so far as to locate the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte. Now, on the heels of North Carolinians having handed a resounding victory to traditional marriage last night — as voters in that state approved a state constitutional amendment defining marriage as being between a man and a woman, and did so by a margin of better than 20 percentage points — Obama has decided that this, of all times, is the perfect day for him to come out in favor of same-sex marriage. That may please his base, but it should also seal his (always tenuous) fate in the Tar Heel State.

Murdoch boosts stakeComment on this story
Australian-born media tycoon Rupert Murdoch's group said on Monday it had paid about 400 million euros (534.64 million dollars) to secure a majority stake in the Munich-based pay TV group Sky Deutschland.
The 81-year-old Murdoch wants to increase News Corp's holding in loss-making Sky Deutschland from just under 50 per cent to 54.5 per cent.
Under the deal, Sky will sell 77.9 million new shares at 4.46 euros each to News Adelaide, an offshoot of US-based News Corp, to raise 347.4 million euros (465 million dollars), Sky said in a statement.
The German pay TV group also unveiled a new set of bank loans totalling over 300 million euros, which are to be guaranteed by News Corp.
Sky Deutschland's subscribers rose by 12 per cent to about 3.36 million last year, the Munich-based company said. - Sapa-dpa

We explore extensions to the standard LCDM cosmological model using new measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from the South Pole Telescope (SPT). Adding SPT measurements to WMAP7 significantly improves constraints on possible extensions to the LCDM model; the addition of low-redshift measurements of H0 and BAO leads to further improvements. Before combining these datasets, we check for consistency in the LCDM model between measurements of the CMB (SPT+WMAP7), H0 and BAO, and find evidence for some tension between the datasets. Within the CMB data alone, we find only weak support for physics beyond the LCDM model due to a slight trend of decreasing power at smaller angular scales, relative to the prediction of the LCDM model. This trend could be due to a logarithmic scale dependence of the power-law index of the primordial power spectrum, nrun. Alternatively, the trend could arise either from adjustments at small or large scales. The power at small scales is sensitive to the damping scale which is influenced by both the helium abundance, Yp and the effective number of neutrino species, Neff. The power at large scales is affected by the ISW effect which is sensitive to the sum of neutrino masses, mnu. These extensions have similar observational consequences and are partially degenerate when considered simultaneously. These degeneracies can weaken or enhance the apparent deviation of any single extension from the LCDM model. Of the 6 one-parameter model extensions considered, we find the CMB data to have the largest statistical preference for running within [-0.046, -0.003] at 95% confidence...[abridged]

How to Amend a Marriage Certificate
A marriage license does far more than allow you to marry. You need it to change your surname, qualify for spousal benefits -- such as inclusion on your spouse's group health insurance or survivorship rights -- and establish that your marriage meets all legal requirements established by the state. It's therefore important that the marriage certificate be accurate. If you discover an error, you can correct your marriage certificate through an amendment.
1Ensure that the change you want to make is allowed. Generally, you can only correct errors or add information to sections that were left blank. Some states allow you to correct most sections, while others only allow you to correct misspellings.Ad
2Get the form you need to apply for an amendment to a marriage license in your jurisdiction. The form may be called an "Affidavit to Amend a Marriage License" or an "Application to Amend a Marriage License."
- Call the city or county court clerk's office. In some states, you can visit any court clerk's office, while in others you must contact the office in the city or county where you were married. Someone at the office can give you the form and the instructions for completing it.
- Visit the website for your state's office of vital statistics or vital records. You can download the form and instructions for completing it. You may also be able to request that the forms and instructions be mailed to you.
3Complete the forms. Get statements notarized if that is required, provide the required supporting documentation, and pay fees that are due. You can return the forms in person to the city or county clerk's office or mail them to the state office of vital records or vital statistics. Be sure to follow any instructions regarding how to mail in the forms.Ad
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- If the error was committed by the court clerk's office, you should not have to pay a fee to amend the license. However, you will be required to pay for copies of the corrected license.
- The sooner you apply to amend your marriage certificate, the easier and less expensive it will be. If you ask for the correction shortly after your marriage, you may not have to go to the trouble of applying for an amendment.
- If you change your name after marriage, you cannot amend your marriage license to reflect this. In some cases, a couple who desires to have a license with the new name can apply for a new license and get married again. Some states allow you to state on the license the names you will use after the marriage.
- If you were married in California and issued a confidential marriage license, you must apply to amend your certificate with the court clerk in the city or county where you were married. The state does not maintain confidential marriage licenses.

Report lodged against Pahang FA
Eduard insisted there was NO mutual agreement to terminate the contract.
He has, through his agent Ricky Swen Jr (pic right), lodged a police report in Kuantan alleging he was "cheated" as he believed an undated letter was slipped into the contract which Eduard signed and is now believed to be a "termination letter" by the Russian.
Interesting eh.
The Russian also claims he, his wife and two sons were "terrorised" and forced out of their house in Kuantan by Pahang FA general secretary Fuzzemi Ibrahim and "another man" who he doesn't recognise.
He has only been paid for February and March. He now wants the full payment of wages as his contract ends on Nov 30. Eduard has no idea why he was terminated despite scoring four goals in five Premier League matches for Pahang.
Ricky stressed his client only wants what is owed to him and gave the example of Australian Michael Baird who was terminated by Sabah FA but received full payment.
I gave Pahang FA an opportunity to counter the allegations. Sadly, they were not forthcoming.
Fuzzemi, when contacted, asked me to speak to assistant team manager Zainal Abidin Hassan who is said to know the "whole situation better".
And when I spoke to the former international, he said "it's an administrative matter and those sitting in the office should be answering such questions".
What's the real deal?
Pick up a copy of The Malay Mail for more details.
HD says: Can we really call the M-League a professional league? Seriously?

Lawrence Lessig on Colbert Report Tonight
Fred Benenson, January 8th, 2009
Creative Commons' founder, Lawrence Lessig has been recently talking about his new book, REMIX but tonight he'll be appearing as the special guest on The Colbert Report, airing on Comedy Central at 11:30pm / 10:30c.
More information available on Colbert Nation, and streaming video of show should be available tomorrow, so keep an eye on our twitter and identi.ca accounts for links.
UPDATE: Here's the streaming video of Larry's appearance last night.
8 Responses to "Lawrence Lessig on Colbert Report Tonight"
Looking forward to it!
Just a nitpick, though: the show is called The Colbert Report; its website is called Colbert Nation.
SWEET! Colbert roxxorz!!!!!11oneone1!
There's a good discussion of it over here: http://www.vqronline.org/blog/2009/01/09/mash-ups/
This was such a thought provoking and pertinent interview! I spend quite a bit of time on a site called http://www.indabamusic.com. Indaba Music closes the gap that distance creates, and I just saw that they are taking up the Colbert challenge!!!! Reminiscent of the green screen challenge anyone?!?!? Check it out! Its awesome (and hilarious!), basically a whole barrel of fun!
Everyone is welcome to join in the fun and its free. The deadline for remixes is January 22nd (!) if you want to participate come on over!!!
[…] and possibly infringing remix videos that resulted from his adamant calls not to remix his interview with CC founder, Lawrence Lessig, Stephen Colbert is mad. He's so mad he featured a new segment and music video challenging […]
Check out Lessig's end-of-Remix-book-tour interview. Talks about Colbert and what's next for his research.

unfortunately as a Canadian, I cannot watch this video, I did go to Colbert Nation and it told me that I had to go to comedynetwork.ca to see the video, however comedynetwork.ca doesn't have the video

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
The heart of good theology, the fire that fuels living faith, is an ongoing encounter with the Risen Lord Jesus, cultivated as an ongoing experience, through prayer. Without such an encounter I do not know how anyone can do theology at all. The God who is Love hungers for the communion of sons and daughters - and we hunger for communion with Him - because He made us this way. Nothing else will ever satisfy us. Origen, an early Church Father, once wrote: Every spiritual being is, by nature, a temple of God, created to receive into itself the glory of God.

Keywords: John the Disciple, St John, John the Beloved disciple, Feast of St John, Octave of Christmas, Prayer, communion, contemplation, meditation, holiness, Deacon Keith Fournier
RICHMOND, VA (Catholic Online) - On this Feast of Saint John, Apostle and Evangelist, the readings at the Liturgy of the Western Catholic Church speak to us about our relationship with Jesus, who is Love Incarnate.
Every human love is a participation in God's love, fully manifested in Jesus Christ. Every human love is perfected (made complete) when it is joined to the fullness of Love which is given to us in Love Incarnate, Jesus Christ.
St. John is rightly called the beloved disciple in the Christian tradition for good reason. Our first reading at Holy Mass is a portion of his beautiful first letter to the early Church. (1 Jn. 1:1-4) These letters flowed from the deep theological content so evident in his Gospel account. The Gospel passage (Jn. 20:1a and 2-A) introduces us to the source of John's deep theology.
He was a witness to the Resurrection. Not only did he walk with the Lord, rest his head on the chest of Christ during the last meal, stand at the second tree, the Cross on Golgotha's Hill - right next to the Mother of the Lord - but he rushed to the tomb and witnessed the implications of the triumph of Love over death.
John is the disciple of that Love which is stronger than death, the love of the Risen and glorified Jesus Christ, Love Incarnate. His Gospel was the last to be written. It reflects the deepening theological reflection of the early Church on the meaning of the conception, nativity, life, death, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus, the Christ.
That is why my very favorite Gospel of the numerous Christmas liturgies is the Gospel of the Mass of Christmas day taken from St. John. (John 1: 1-18)
The best definition of a theologian I have discovered is taken from the writings of a first century monk named Evagrius of Pontus. He wrote that a theologian is someone who "rests his head on the chest of Christ." The image calls to mind the beloved disciple, John, depicted as doing just that in early Christian art. Evagrius also wrote that "a theologian is one who prays and one who prays is a theologian".
St. John, the beloved disciple, was just such a great theologian because he was in an ongoing intimate communion with Jesus. He really, really prayed. Do we? Well, it helps to dig deeper into what prayer really is. The kind of prayer which is rooted in encountering the Lord.
As someone who has pursued years of graduate theology, and am still trying to finish a doctoral dissertation, I am certainly not opposed to academic theological study.
However, the heart of good theology, the fire that fuels living faith, is an ongoing encounter with the Risen Lord Jesus, cultivated as an ongoing experience, through prayer. Without such an encounter I do not know how anyone can do theology at all.
For John the Beloved, that communion continued after the Resurrection because Jesus is still truly present, in His glorified life, to all those who live in the encounter which lies at the heart of being a Christian.
The Risen Jesus comes to be with us in every Eucharist, in His Word, and in the intimate life of living prayer. John knew Jesus personally and lived in an intimate communion with the Lord; the kind that only comes through prayer.
We can do so as well. The choice is ours.
St John, the beloved disciple, shows us the way. He prayed. Do we pray? I mean really, really pray? Are we living in a communion of love with Love Incarnate. We really can live that way. That is the call of every Christian.
Christian Prayer is about living in such an ongoing dialogue and intimate communion with the God who is Love, that we begin to experience life in a naturally supernatural way. God fashioned men and women for such a relationship. He created us for communion, a relational conversation of life with Him.
However, at the heart of understanding what it means to be created in His Image is coming to understand the immense gift of human freedom - and realizing what happened to our capacity to choose, as a result of sin.
Our relationship with God was broken, separated and wounded through the first sin, what is called the "original sin" in the theology of the Western Church. That sin, like all sin since, is at root a misuse of human freedom infected by pride and self sufficiency.
Our ability to exercise our freedom rightly by directing our capacity for free choice always toward the good was impeded, diminished, wounded and broken through the fall. Our freedom was fractured. Only the splint of the Cross of Calvary can heal
The Good News is that through Jesus Christ, the way has been opened for an even fuller communion with God than our first parents had before the fall. Through the Incarnation, Saving life, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ we are being re-created, re-fashioned and redeemed.
He comes to live in those who make a place for Him within the center of their lives. This "making a place" is the essence of Christian prayer and living in communion. John made such a place for Jesus. He calls us to do the same.
The Lord wants us to freely choose to respond to His continual invitations to love. John shows us the way to do just that. We need a Savior. We will only find our fulfillment as human persons by entering into the relationship that he had with Jesus.
This relationship is the meaning and purpose of our life. As we grow in faith through our participation in the life of grace, lived out in the Church, our capacity to respond to the Lord's loving invitation grows as well, through growing in the prayer of communion.
This kind of prayer is not about doing, but about being - in a loving communion with God. This kind of prayer is about falling in love with God. St. John was in love with God. He was, as the early Church fathers all were, a mystic.
Isaac of Ninevah was an early eighth century monk, Bishop and theologian. For centuries he was mostly revered in the Eastern Christian Church for his writings on prayer. In the last century the beauty of his insights on prayer are being embraced once again by both lungs, East and West, of the Church. He wrote these words in one of his many treatises on Prayer:
"When the Spirit dwells in a person, from the moment in which that person has become prayer, he never leaves him. For the Spirit himself never ceases to pray in him. Whether the person is asleep or awake, prayer never from then on departs from his soul. Whether he is eating or drinking or sleeping or whatever else he is doing, even in deepest sleep, the fragrance of prayer rises without effort in hid heart. Prayer never again deserts him.
"At every moment of his life, even when it appears to stop, it is secretly at work in him continuously, one of the Fathers, the bearers of Christ, says that prayer is the silence of the pure. For their thoughts are divine motions. The movements of the heart and the intellect that have been purified are the voices full of sweetness with which such people never cease to sing in secret to the hidden God."
The Christian revelation answers the existential questions that fill every human heart and hound every generation. Our hearts are indeed, as Augustine wrote so eloquently, restless, until they rest in God.Through His Incarnation - Saving Life, Death, and Resurrection - Jesus Christ opens up such a full communion with God the Father for all men and women.
Jesus leads us out of the emptiness and despair that is the rotted fruit of narcissism, nihilism and materialism. He leads us into a new way, the way of communion, of love, of life that never dies.
When we enter into the dialogue that is prayer, we can experience a progressive, dynamic and intimate relationship with God the Father as He transforms us from within by grace. We can actually "become prayer" as we empty ourselves in order to be filled with Him.
Through prayer, daily life takes on new meaning. It becomes a classroom of communion, life of love. In that classroom we learn the truth about who we are - and who we are becoming - in Jesus. Through prayer we receive new glasses through which we see the true landscape of life. Through prayer darkness is dispelled and the path of progress is illuminated.
Through prayer we begin to understand why this communion seems so elusive at times; as we struggle with our own disordered appetites, and live in a manner at odds with the beauty and order of the creation within which we dwell only to find a new beginning whenever we confess our sin and return to our first love.
Prayer opens us up to Revelation, expands our capacity to comprehend truth and equips us to change. This is true for all men and women, no matter what their state in life or specific vocation.
Through prayer we are drawn by Love into a deepening relationship with Jesus whose loving embrace on the hill of Golgotha bridged heaven with earth; His relationship with His Father is opened now to us; the same Spirit that raised Him from the dead begins to give us new life as we are converted, transfigured and made new.
Through prayer, heavenly wisdom is planted in the field of our hearts and we experience a deepening communion with the Trinitarian God. We become, in the words of the Apostle Peter "partakers of the divine nature." (2 Peter 1:4)
That participation will only be fully complete when we are with Him in the fullness of His embrace, in Resurrected Bodies in a New Heaven and a New Earth, but it begins now, in the grace of this present moment, in prayer and communion.
The beloved disciple John became prayer. He wrote in the letter he penned in his later years:
"See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. Yet so we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. Beloved, we are God's children now; what we shall be has not yet been revealed. We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope based on him makes himself pure, as he is pure. Everyone who commits sin commits lawlessness, for sin is lawlessness" 1 John 3:1-4
Today's Feast of St. John invites each one of us to become prayer. It calls us to meet the same Risen Jesus who John knew - and knows - so well. This is not only a possibility, it is meant to become a reality as we learn to become prayer. The Feast of the Beloved Disciple John Invites Us to Live a Life of Communion with God through Prayer
Our daily life is a field of choice. We are made capable now, as we learn to cooperate with grace, of choosing the more excellent way of love of which the great Apostle Paul wrote. (1 Cor. 13) Pondering the implications of the exercise of our human freedom should become a regular part of our life, as we learn to "examine our conscience", repent of our sin and become joyful penitents.
Prayer provides the environment for such recollection as it exposes the darkness and helps us surrender it to the light of Love, the life of the Living God dwelling within us. Yes, living within us. (Jn. 14:23)
Becoming prayer is possible for all Christians, no matter their state in life or vocation, because God holds nothing back from those whom He loves. This relationship of communion is initiated by Him. Our part is to respond. That response should flow from a heart that beats in surrendered love, in the process of being freed from the entanglements that weigh us down.
The God who is Love hungers for the communion of sons and daughters - and we hunger for communion with Him - because He made us this way. Nothing else will ever satisfy us. The early Church Father Origen once wrote: Every spiritual being is, by nature, a temple of God, created to receive into itself the glory of God.
We were made in the "image" of God and are now being recreated into His Image in Jesus Christ, as we cooperate with grace. As we "become prayer', that likeness begins to emerge. We give ourselves fully to the One who gave Himself to us and cry out with Jesus Christ "Abba Father."
No longer alienated, we participate in the inner life of God who now dwells within us. We also dwell in Him through His Spirit. This dwelling is prayer. It is not about doing or getting but about being, becoming, receiving, giving, and loving.
A wonderful spiritual writer of our own time, Henri Nouwen, understood the call to live in God. He wrote these words in his work entitled Lifesigns:
"Jesus, in whom the fullness of God dwells, has become our home by making his home in us he allows us to make our home in him. By entering into the intimacy of our innermost self he offers us the opportunity to enter into his own intimacy with God. By choosing us as his preferred dwelling place, he invites us to choose him as our preferred dwelling place.
"This is the mystery of the incarnation. Here we come to see what discipline in the spiritual life means. It means a gradual process of coming home to where we belong and listening there to the voice which desires our attention. Home is the place where that first love dwells and speaks gently to us. Prayer is the most concrete way to make our home in God."

The top US commander in Afghanistan blasted Dove World Outreach Center in an interview with the Wall Street Journal today, saying that the demonstration could be exploited by the Taliban, who would use it to fuel anti-American sentiment ... which could put US troops in danger. "It is precisely the kind of action the Taliban uses and could cause significant problems. Not just here, but everywhere in the world we are engaged with the Islamic community." And the fire seems to have already begun: Hundreds of Afghans protested the church's plans today in Kabul, and officials fear such demonstrations could spread to other cities. Westerners in Afghanistan have been warned to steer clear of restaurants and other public places as anger builds. Petraeus is none too happy about Terry Jones' plans.

I'm a Canon user and I use the Canon Rebel XS. I want to upgrade to a better Canon camera. I'm thinking I want to buy the Canon 60D. My income is limited so I can't go with any of these high dollar units. Which model would you suggest I invest in and why?
Views: 35
Hello and welcome to the group.
I am a a canon user too although i am also yet to purchase a high end dslr, however i am currently using a 550d or rebel T2i as it's also known. If your planning on a general upgrade the 550d or the 600d could be a good choice. They both have pros and cons such as they both boast a high 18 mega pixels, are lightweight, high iso expansion, digic 4 processor, good lcds with the 600d vary-angle and 550d 3:2 aspect ratio, hd movie recording in full 1080p at 24,25 and 30fps excellent quality, and 4 metering modes.
Cons would be things such as they are not weather sealed, has relatively low fps at 3.7 (34 jpegs-6 Raw) which in fairness if wildlife or sport isn't a main concern would be adequate, the viewfinder isn't 100% which sometimes can be frustrating. Both are fairly priced and although still classed as entry level dslrs they produce great results.
Personally I feel the 550d will last me a long time and I can focus on developing my skills and aquire lenses, The next camera i want will be between the 7d or the 5D MKII which will take quite some time to save for but by then i'll have a much greater knowledge to work with.
Hi Liam, I have seen alot of your photography on this site and it is good stuff from what I remember. On the camera issue, I've thought about the T3i which is the what,600D? (I think). Anyway, the T3i does have alot of the same features that the 60D has and my daughter has thought about it as well. Her reasoning is for the price alone. Here the price difference is $300-$400 depending on where you buy the camera of course. Depending on our financial situation, I may end up keeping the Rebel XS until I wear it out......Talk to you soon.

This is in reply to Steven Carlson ["Casinos should rethink penny slots," Letters, Sept. 19].
Everyone isn't born with the proverbial "silver spoon." And if you see many, especially seniors, playing, what's wrong with that? Pennies and nickels ad up. It gets seniors out of their homes or apartments to be with others! Being isolated is hard.
As for not having "comps," 1. Either you're not playing with a casino players' card, which adds up your playing, or 2. You're not playing.
Casino players' cards are free for the asking, so ask for one and quit complaining.
Also why blame IGT? There are other companies with machines in the casinos.
You, yourself, are creating your own problems.

number of exchanges in the study area that were used in the regression analysis that established
"benchmarks" for high-cost loop support (HCLS).1 In the HCLS Benchmarks Implementation Order,2 the
Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) adopted the methodology for establishing limits on reimbursable
capital costs and operating expenses (capex and opex, respectively) to implement the benchmarking rule
that the Commission adopted in the USF/ICC Transformation Order.3
2. The HCLS benchmarking methodology uses quantile regression analyses to generate a capex
limit and an opex limit for each rate-of-return cost company study area. The geographic independent
variables used in the regressions were rolled up to the study area using Tele Atlas wire center boundaries,
which is a widely-used commercially available comprehensive source for this information.4 The HCLS
Benchmarks Implementation Order recognized that there were concerns remain regarding inaccuracies in
these data.5 In response, the Bureau created a streamlined, expedited waiver process for carriers affected
by the benchmarks to correct any errors in their study area boundaries by providing accurate information
in a manner and format that Bureau staff can readily evaluate and process to determine whether there are
special circumstances supporting a waiver.6 Although the relief ASTAC seeks is to correct the road

6 See HCLS Benchmarks Implementation Order, 27 FCC Rcd at 4246-47, paras. 27, 29. Generally, the
Commission's rules may be waived if good cause is shown. 47 C.F.R. § 1.3. The Commission may exercise its
discretion to waive a rule where the particular facts make strict compliance inconsistent with the public interest.

Federal Communications Commission
DA 12-1907information and number of exchanges rather than the study area boundaries, the expedited waiver process
was created to address concerns regarding data "inaccuracies,"7 and we therefore conclude that use of an
expedited waiver process is warranted for correction of these data variables.
3. On July 13 and October 12, 2012, ASTAC provided the Bureau detailed road information and
the number of exchanges within its study area, including certifications by an officer of the company under
penalty of perjury that the filed information is accurate.8 ASTAC explained that the data relied upon by
the Bureau overstated the number of road miles and crossings in ASTAC's service area in large part
because the data included caribou migration, foot, jeep, tractor, winter trails as well as roads across tundra
that are inaccessible by most vehicles.9 In addition, ASTAC explained that the data incorrectly included
the Barrow exchange in ASTAC's service area.10
4. Pursuant to section 1.3 of the Commission's rules, we find that good cause has been shown
and special circumstances warrant waiver of the Commission's rules to revise the capex and opex
benchmarks for ASTAC that were listed in Appendix B of the HCLS Benchmarks Implementation
Order.11 Using the corrected road and exchange information, the Bureau staff modified the relevant
variables and calculated revised capex and opex benchmarks for ASTAC. We direct the National
Exchange Carrier Association (NECA) to use the following revised benchmarks in place of the original
benchmarks for calculating HCLS for ASTAC from July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012. Using the
revised road and exchange information, ASTAC's capex and opex benchmarks increased. Because
ASTAC remains limited by the 90th percentile benchmarks for its opex costs during this period, it is not
eligible for redistributed HCLS. We also instruct the Universal Service Administrative Company
(USAC) to make any necessary support amount adjustments consistent with the corrected information.

Reduced circulating sTWEAK levels are associated with metabolic syndrome in elderly individuals at high cardiovascular risk

The circulating soluble TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis (sTWEAK) is a cytokine that modulates inflammatory and atherogenic reactions related to cardiometabolic risk. We investigated the association between sTWEAK levels and metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components in older subjects at high cardiovascular risk.
Cross-sectional analysis of 452 non-diabetic individuals (men and women aged 55–80 years) at high cardiovascular risk. MetS was defined by AHA/NHLBI and IDF criteria. Logistic regression analyses were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) for MetS and its components by tertiles of serum sTWEAK concentrations measured by ELISA.
sTWEAK concentrations were lower in subjects with MetS than in those without. In gender- and age-adjusted analyses, subjects in the lowest sTWEAK tertile had higher ORs for overall MetS [1.71 (95% CI, 1.07-2.72)] and its components abdominal obesity [2.01 (1.15-3.52)], hyperglycemia [1.94 (1.20-3.11)], and hypertriglyceridemia [1.73 (1.05-2.82)] than those in the upper tertile. These associations persisted after controlling for family history of diabetes and premature coronary heart disease, lifestyle, kidney function and other MetS components. sTWEAK concentrations decreased as the number of MetS components increased. Individuals in the lowest vs the upper sTWEAK tertile had an increased risk of disclosing greater number of MetS features. Adjusted ORs for individuals with 2 vs ≤1, 3 vs ≤1, and ≥4 vs ≤ 1 MetS components were 2.60 (1.09-6.22), 2.83 (1.16-6.87) and 6.39 (2.42-16.85), respectively.
In older subjects at high cardiovascular risk, reduced sTWEAK levels are associated with MetS: abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia and hyperglycemia are the main contributors to this association.

AT&T IPTV U-verse
Informative story in today's Express-News Business section regarding current development and roll out status of AT&T's IPTV product U-verse in San Antonio. Alan over at SATechBlog has signed on as a U-verse beta tester and is featured in the story written by Sanford Knowlin.
Basic gist of the first impressions I got from the story is that the U-verse user interface is superior but with no HD or DVR yet, be prepared for the tradeoff. No integrated HD has a suitable workaround since most of the can't miss sports events and TV shows are still available in free OTA HD on the major networks. (from my subjective point of view, one plus to that method is that OTA HD looks better than cable HD) Still, no DVR could be deal breaker. Those things change the way you watch TV. Article says DVR and HD services should be live on U-verse by the fall. And unfortunately, still no ala carte programming. No mention on U-verse pricing bundles in the article either.
In the meantime, if you're an early adopter yourself or have been waiting for your chance to say adi

The title of the Dead Kennedys' 2007 greatest-hits compilation, Milking the Sacred Cow, perfectly captures the conflict: Did the '80s hardcore standard bearers defy genre taboo in reforming almost a decade ago without singer Jello Biafra? Does Biafra's 2003 conviction for underpaying bandmates their royalties disqualify his indictment of the reunion being a greedy money grab? The DKs differ from Journey and Foreigner in that they aren't reprising some cocaine-off-the-limo-hood moment so much as capitalizing on a reputation burnished since their February '86 breakup. While Biafra's lyrics were an essential component, you can't discount the searing surf-inflected guitar and overall menace, particularly on signature tracks like "Holiday in Cambodia" and "Buzzbomb." This great music deserves the chance to impress the audience it never had, and, so long as they can remember the words, a different singer's no great loss. Indeed, latest frontman Ron Greer (Wynona Riders) is perhaps their most capable yet. (Chris Parker)
Sun., Oct. 17, 8pm. $23. With Dirty Tactics. Theater of the Living Arts, 334 South St. 215.922.1011. livenation.com
"You're an idiot and a poser.
This sounds about as interesting a show as seeing The Stooges without Iggy Pop, Dead Boys without Stiv Bators, or Ramones without Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee."
"If this "singer" is so capable, where is the new Dead Kennedys music? Why is it that they've reformed for so long and haven't recorded one new song?"
"Jello and his new band > DK without him... THats like the Newfits Vs Old Misfits... DK just needs to stop or bury the hatchet and ask Jello to come back. Hell When I seen the GSM last week Jello was singing DK songs and humm I think he's alot better then DK's new singer."
"Jello and GSM feels vital whether they are performing new songs or a Dead Kennedys classic. The DK sound is easy to replicate with feeling. GSM does a great job with this as did Jello and the Melvins.
The re-formed DKs recreating the urgency of Biafra lyrics... that is much more problematic. Biafra's voice/perspective is a specific beast. I can't think of a performer who could lend the appropriate weight to that voice without parody. Imagine a new comedian doing an all Bill Hicks set or something along those lines. It would be a sick joke. Thankfully, in comedy, this type of behavior gets exposed and ridiculed for what it is.
I'm not saying East Bay Ray should be derided or suggesting he has no right to play the DK songs he helped create. I just don't think he should call his new band Dead Kennedys. "Undead Kennedys" is the perfect name for his new enterprise. It demonstrates he isn't taking the band SO seriously and clues the fans in as to what to expect at the shows."
"Ive seen the DK's at least 5x in the 1980's growing up in the SF bay area. I was present at the last show at the on broadway, and even in the DVD stage diving. This is the DK grew up with, I remember, and cherrish. Sorry to see the problems that came about with the core members, but its nice to see someone making another go at it! Most music today is Sh!t and hopefully this will stimulate a new genre of music."
"I will continue to write off anything Dead Kennedys does until they create new songs. When they do, I will be first in line to hear the new material. But I refuse to pay good money for more 'reissues' - it just becomes another 'lord of the Rings' event. How many versions of the same slbums am I willing to buy?"
"No-one can ever take JELLO'S place. He has a very unique voice and I don't think anyone can sing like he does. I really don't know why they had to break up. You'd think, a band like DK would still be together after all these years. I have all their album's on record & CD & 4 dvd's. I think they were one of the best punk band's in the world. Maybe they should put aside their differences and get back together. And this Jon Greer guy should go and start up his own band and leave THE DEAD KENNEDY'S, cause JELLO BIAFRA is the man"
"I totally agree that East bay Ray and Klaus have the right to perform their songs. They are musicians after all. Musicians want to perform their songs, it´s simple. But they should choose a different name. Then it´s OK. I´m glad I could see Ray and Robbie performing DOORS Songs, it was one of the most magic moments I ever witnessed in my life. And, yes, Jello and his new band were brillant when they played the old stuff. Of course nobody "needs" the other DKs. Hey Klaus and Ray, please write new songs and convince us that you are still relevant!"
"The band that calls itself the Dead Kennedys is a cover band at best. There is no new material because they don't have it in them. "A different singer's no great loss". Really? Obviously this individual was not aware of the band in the first instance."
I was quite aware of the band when they first came out, and was a big fan. Jello is a great writer. But great singer? Really?? I understand the sentiment, but a big part of the band was the sound, and it seems to me the way Jello's lyrical contribution overshadowed the music was outsized to his contribution. Is it surprising that Jello's never produced anything as good? Or that he's never been able to maintain a consistent band around him, but persists in enlisting existing bands who move on after he's recorded the albums? He's an exciting writer, but as a human being he's a bit of a self-righteous prick, who you'd be hesitant to invite over for Thanksgiving because there'd always be something he'd find fault with. I think the fact that he tried to screw his bandmates out of money puts this in context. It's easier to talk the talk than walk the walk."

best horse quote ever!
"They have pushed us aside, ignored our true talent. Said its not a sport Its easy. Well, heres life through our eyes. 40 miles per hour, is slow, 5 feet in the air, is nothing, controlling 1200 pounds with only your hand and leg, is simple. We endure the worst conditions, we embrace the small moments. We strive for perfection, and with our horses to stand by us, together. Lets prove them, wrong. We are equestrians, and we would like to see you try it."
~Horse Quotes and Sayings - Page 5
I didn't look at the link, but my favorite horse quote is...
"If you want to make $1 million in the horse business, start with $2 million."
I am constantly telling my dad that quote in the hopes that he buys me more horse stuff, but he just won't believe it because I am not showing haha.
"They taste like chicken."
The sentiment in the quote is nice, but there's not many of us going at 40mph or jumping 5'.
When I was young I quoted my dad all the time, "What's one more?"

I don't really have fancy tastes, especially when it comes to food. I have often said I could pretty much live on pizza if I had to. I kind of meant it.
Now, we might just find out.
My daughter has home ec in eighth grade right now. Only they don't call it home ec anymore so I know I'll get in trouble for saying that. They call it Family and Consumer Sciences (I think), but whenever I talk about that to people, I have to tell them that it's the new term for home ec.
But none of that is really important right now. I bring all of this up because this class may lead to a radical change in my diet. One that I think I kind of like.
The students get this class for a six-week cycle. Thankfully, Bridget got it right out of the gate and loved it. That means she has wanted to try out the recipes she has learned in school at home. My belly and I fully support this development.
They learned how to make pizza this week, which is cool, but she already makes that on our usual Friday pizza night. But because FCS has expanded her cooking skills, I figure we can just turn over everything to her and enjoy the good life.
For better or worse, the class focused on three items which I hope to have pretty much every day now. In addition to pizza, she learned how to make French toast and oatmeal raisin cookies. I don't know if any research study has tried to determine whether someone can live on pizza, French toast and oatmeal raisin cookies, but I think I need to find out.
Of course, we will first have to settle a family debate over the necessity of raisins in cookies (or anything for that matter). I just know I can get cookies every day regardless of how that conflict turns out.
We turned the dinner duties over to Bridget one night this past week, and she made some amazing French toast using cinnamon raisin bread. Again, we have to cross the great raisin divide - I'm OK with them in foods, my wife is not - but I think I could get used to having this meal for breakfast lunch or dinner for a while now.
A few nights later, she handled her usual pizza duties. I just had to sit back, relax and enjoy.
I'm not saying that I want my daughter to give up any hopes and dreams and spend all of her time in the kitchen to make me happy. I'm just saying that she has learned a valuable skill that can benefit everyone in our house, and I'm kind of hungry all the time. She doesn't have to learn how to cook other things if she doesn't want to.
I just hope I don't get sick of French toast and cinnamon raisin cookies. Because I know I can't get tired of pizza. I've done all that research.

Republican U.S. Rep. Charles Djou and Democrat Colleen Hanabusa easily won their primary contests last night and will face off Nov. 2 in a rematch of their May special election for Hawaii's 1st Congressional District.
Djou, 40, beat C. Kaui Amsterdam and John Giuffre in the GOP primary. Hanabusa, 59, beat Rafael del Castillo in the Democratic primary.
Djou is Hawaii's first Republican member of Congress in 20 years. The former state representative and Honolulu City Council member from Hawaii Kai won the May 22 special election to replace Neil Abercrombie, who resigned to run for governor.
Djou captured 39 percent of the special election vote, while top Democrats Hanabusa and Ed Case split 58 percent. A week later, Case announced he would not compete in the fall, clearing the way for Hanabusa in the Democratic primary.
Hanabusa is the state senator representing the 21st District (Waianae Coast). She is in the middle of her four-year term and was not required to resign her Senate seat to run for Congress.
U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye, 86, will seek his ninth term in the Senate when he faces four challengers in the general election. Inouye yesterday coasted past Andrew Woerner, 39, a dive shop manager in Kona, in the primary.
Facing Inouye will be Republican Cam Cavasso, 59, a financial adviser and former state representative; Green Party member Jim Brewer, 70, a self-described "citizen advocate"; Libertarian Lloyd Mallan, 66, of Kauai; and nonpartisan candidate Jeff Jarrett, 49, a businessman.
In the 2nd Congressional District, Democratic incumbent Rep. Mazie Hirono, 62, was unopposed and will face Libertarian Pat Brock and nonpartisan candidate Andrew Von Sonn in the general. John Willoughby had a 1 percentage point lead over Ramsay Wharton in the Republican primary with nearly all votes counted.
Willoughby, 51, is an airline pilot from Salt Lake. Wharton, 40, is a former TV news reporter from Ewa Beach. Brock, 58, is a pool and spa technician.
Hawaii's fourth member of Congress, Sen. Daniel Akaka, was re-elected in 2006.
