Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes
You wish that a filmmaker like John Sayles had grabbed the story by the throat and teased out its complexities.Stephen Holden, New York Times, 09.04.2014
No polemic, it's a poignant tale of human decency and redemption.Claudia Puig, USA Today, 09.04.2014
In trying to create a balanced portrait of the conflicts and the ordinary people affected by them, director Michael Berry... chips away at the authenticity and intensity that an issue-driven film like this sorely needs.Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times, 09.05.2014
Frontera is a showcase for actors: Ed Harris, in particular, does something we've seen him do before -- play the laconic man of principle -- but he's so good at it, you warm right up to his rhythms.Stephanie Zacharek, Village Voice, 09.02.2014

text: Although weight training is similar to bodybuilding, they have different objectives. Bodybuilders use weight training to develop their muscles for size, shape, and symmetry regardless of any increase in strength for competition in bodybuilding contests; they train to maximize their muscular size and develop extremely low levels of body fat. In contrast, many weight trainers train to improve their strength and anaerobic endurance while not giving special attention to reducing body fat far below normal. The bodybuilding community has been the source of many of weight training's principles, techniques, vocabulary, and customs. Weight training does allow tremendous flexibility in exercises and weights which can allow bodybuilders to target specific muscles and muscle groups, as well as attain specific goals. Not all bodybuilding is undertaken to compete in bodybuilding contests, and, in fact the vast majority of bodybuilders never compete, but bodybuild for their own personal reasons. -Wiki-

By Ali Wasswa and Raymond Baguma
The crown prince Martin Kamya, the cultural leader of the Obudhingya bwa Bwamba, on Wednesday made a triumphant entry in Bundibugyo ahead of his installation this Friday.
Martin Kamya, as the Omudhingya (King) will become the hereditary cultural leader of the Bamba, Babwisi and Bavanuma communities in western Uganda districts of Bundibugyo and Ntoroko.
Kamya a retired major in the UPDF will be installed in a ceremony that will be attended by President Yoweri Museveni, according to Fulgensio Bamwitirebye, the chairperson of the organising committee.
People of Bundibugyo welcome the Omundhingya
Today, he made an entry in Bundibugyo in a motorcade, welcomed by a multitude of loyalists. He stood out from an open roof Toyota Prado and waved as he was cheered on by jubilant crowds.
Speaking on phone on Wednesday Harriet Ntabazi, the Bundibugyo Woman MP said that the Obudhingya bwa Bwamba was gazetted this month May 6 as the 13th cultural institution of Uganda.
"We thank Government for solving the issue and gazetting it as a cultural institution. There is excitement about our cultural leader. We call on people to respect and give honour to cultural leaders and develop our country. It's a new cultural institution and we ask the old cultural institutions to support in mothering it," said Ntabazi.
Maj. Kamya is a son of the late Jeremiah Kawamara, who is the founder of the Obudhingya bwa Bwamba. On Wednesday, Bundibugyo town was a scene fanfare as supporters of the cultural institution jubilated ahead of Kamya's installation.
Renovation works have been ongoing of a building which will be the main seat and parliament of the institution. The concrete structure with green corrugated iron-sheets is next to the police station in Bundibugyo town.
Women with fresh banana leaves strapped around their waists, danced to sound of the royal drum as workers put final touches to the newly plastered structure. Present was Rhoda Kawamara, the mother to Kamya.
Also the tomb the founder Kawamara, has received a coat of paint with tiles. Kawamara was one of the leaders of the Rwenzururu armed struggle that opposed the rule of Tooro kingdom alongside Isaya Mukirane, the father of Rwenzururu King Wesley Mumbere.
Also, two years ago in October 2012, Government cleared Kamya to resign from the army and be installed as the cultural leader of the Obudhingya bwa Bwamba.

Most sensible spenders will agree that it is not good to be in debt. With rising costs and fear of job-loss, it can often be difficult to afford the basics without loans and credit card repayments sucking the life out of the monthly pay-check.
So the golden rule is to avoid borrowing money at all costs, especially if it is to be used for unnecessary luxuries like holidays, clothes or home consumables.
However there are a couple of exceptions to this rule and in these instances borrowing money can make financial sense, but only if the money enables you to grow your income or personal wealth.
These exceptions are known as Good Debts and include mortgages, business investments and loans taken out to help pay for further-education.
Using Good Debts To Gain Leverage
Good Debts provide you with the money to take advantage of opportunities that you would otherwise have had to wait years to save up for.
Take buying a house as an example. Not many people have the sort of money lying around in their bank account required to buy a home for cash and saving up that sort of money would take years; so instead they take out a mortgage, which enables them to purchase the property and re-pay the money over an agreed period of time.
Unlike taking out a loan to buy a car (which will only depreciate in value), borrowing money to buy a home generally makes good financial sense as property values have tended to hold and rise over the years, despite various fluctuations.
Borrowing To Invest In A Business
Taking out a loan to start your own business is another example of a Good Debt. If the business takes off and earns you a significant income or can be sold on for a tidy sum, it will have been well worth borrowing the money.
However, there is always the risk that the business will fail, leaving you stuck with outstanding debts. To minimise the risk of failure, make sure you take the following steps:
- Take sound advice from your accountant and other business advisers
- Be sure you fully understand the business environment that you are planning to trade in (customers, competitors, legislation, technology, risks and issues)
- Produce a business plan which shows how you anticipate covering all your costs, including your loan repayments and when you expect to have re-paid the loan
Plan Your Borrowing
At the end of the day Good Debts are still debts, which means that they need to be re-paid along with interest, so you still need to consider very carefully whether you can afford to take them out.
To help plan your borrowing, make sure you take the following steps:
- Do your research to find the best deals – speak to your financial advisor, check the web or the 'best-buy' sections in the weekend papers for the lowest interest rates
- Make sure you understand how much interest you will be paying throughout the lifecycle of the debt, whether there are penalties for early repayment and whether or not the debt is secured against your home – check the small print!
- Create a budget to understand how much you spend & earn each month and check the repayment figures against your budget to ensure you can afford to repay the loan
Keeping Good Debts Under Control
Even when you have taken out a Good Debt, you should still try to minimise the amount you need to borrow and prevent the debt from running out of control.
For example, most people take out a student loan to pay for their university education. In many cases this makes sound business sense if the degree will help them earn more money in the job market.
However those students who are able to pro-actively manage their finances, use money saving ideas to live frugally and find ways of earning a part-time income whilst they study; should be able to emerge from their studies with a far smaller debt to pay-off when they start working full-time.
The Good Debt Criteria
So if you are planning to borrow money, ask yourself:
- What return-on-investment will this money provide and will it outweigh the amount borrowed (i.e. is it a Good Debt or a Bad Debt)?
- Do you really need to borrow this much and what other options exist to make up the difference?
- Will you be able to afford the monthly repayments?
- Do you understand all of the conditions (interest amounts, early repayment clauses, etc) of borrowing the money?

In case you hadn't heard, Dallas Mavericks guard Jason Terry got a tattoo of the Larry O'Brien Trophy -- the gold orb trophy thing that goes to the team who wins the NBA title -- on the inside of his right bicep. (Pictured to the right.) Terry got inked prior to the season as a way to motivate himself reports Star-Telegram.com.
"Everybody laughed and thought it was a joke at the time, but then when they saw me actually get it they were like, 'This boy's serious,'" Terry said. "And our whole conversation was about right now, about us getting to this point and winning it all.
With the Mavericks now poised to face the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals, reality and regret regarding the tattoo is starting to set in for Terry. The obvious question: What happens if the Heat beat the Mavericks? It's going to be pretty awkard to have a tattoo of something you didn't win on your arm forever, right?
Indeed, Sun-Sentinel.com reported on Sunday that Terry said he will remove the tattoo should the Mavericks up come short.
"It symbolized the fact we had a realistic shot of getting there." Terry said Sunday before the team departed for Miami. "If I didn't think we had a chance, I definitely wouldn't have put that on there. ... For me, it's something I have to sleep with, something I wake up with. I definitely know it's going to hurt worse if I have to take this thing off."That would be the single most depressing tattoo removal of all time. Maybe there's a way the artist could just alter it rather than remove it. Maybe a tweak to make it look like the Eiffel Tower or the Leaning Tower of Pisa? Or maybe the Space Needle -- an homage to Terry's hometown of Seattle?
Yep, if Dallas doesn't win the trophy, look for Terry to get it removed.
"It means it was bad luck." Terry said. "I'm very superstitious."
It's a little disappointing Terry is already considering the possibility of removing the tattoo before the Finals has even started. What a perfect opportunity to guarantee a Dallas victory: "This ink isn't going anywhere!" Now that would have been awesome.

Word spread quickly among naval officers about the test of a portable video-sharing station aboard the guided-missile cruiser Vicksburg. At 567 feet long, the Navy's cruisers — and its even smaller destroyers — are not large enough to accommodate fixed workstations for receiving, processing and sharing video and associated intelligence.
That's a problem because the Navy wants ships like the Vicksburg — built primarily to launch Tomahawk cruise missiles and hunt for submarines — to scout surrounding waters for pirates or terrorists, like those who sneaked up to the destroyer Cole 12 years ago and blew a hole in its side, killing 17. The crews need the ability to view video and share it with the Office of Naval Intelligence.
During the 2011 Trident Warrior sea experiment that ran from October to December, crew members on the Vicksburg unfolded a portable workstation consisting of a computer processor, displays and video receiver, and plugged it into the ship's secure Secret Internet Protocol Router Network. They tested the system, called the Intelligence Carry-On Program, in a range of realistic scenarios. When the Navy decided to keep the ICOP prototype aboard during a Middle East deployment, that cinched it for other ship captains. They wanted their own ICOP prototypes, and now.
The fast-moving train that created ICOP in less than a year was put onto an even faster track. The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command in San Diego and BAE Systems, the prime contractor for ICOP and its parent program, the Distributed Common Ground System-Navy, are rushing to produce the $75,000 portable workstations as fast as the service can find money for them.
For an initiative that was supposed to come to fruition in 2014, and which is technically still in the prototype phase, a lot of equipment and software is being procured. Backers are cautiously predicting that ICOP will be made a program of record, meaning an initiative with a line in the Navy's multiyear spending plan, although decisions about additional purchases and funding are still pending.
Most recently, three of the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group's ships — the cruiser Hue City and destroyers Winston Churchill and Jason Dunham — left from Virginia and Florida in June with ICOP prototypes aboard.
Naval Forces Central Command has requested a minimum of 16 additional ICOP computers and would like as many as 21, said Mo Kane, assistant manager for the ICOP effort.
The work started after development of DCGS-N — the Navy's network of shore and ship-based intelligence sites — reached completion. The Navy decided that a subset of the capabilities was needed on smaller vessels. That was particularly true when the Navy began to fly the ScanEagle and Fire Scout unmanned aircraft equipped with full-motion-video cameras. Some in the Navy also wanted to pipe in video from Air Force Predator UAVs when ships were in range of them, and from camera-equipped F/A-18 fighter jets.
BAE and the newly-established ICOP office have been gathering requirements over the last 18 months from Navy Cyber Forces and the Fifth Fleet. A suite of tools was needed to process video for a ship's ISR specialist, usually a chief petty officer. BAE and the Navy assembled a small team. Google Earth provided a portable server to create a geospatial foundation for the video. L-3 Communications supplied its VideoScout FMV receiver and Insight processing software.
"We were looking for really mature COTS and GOTS stuff" — commercial and government off-the-shelf equipment and software — "because we didn't want to do a lot of developing," said BAE's Phil Turner, program manager for DCGS-N work, including ICOP. "We wanted to get a quick capability out."
Simplicity was paramount. Training on ICOP takes two to three days, and the intelligence specialist then trains watchstanders.
"We had to build the system to make it pretty intuitive, bearing in mind that unless Big Navy invested in it, there wasn't going to be formal schoolhouse training," Kane said.
Beating bandwidth issues offered another challenge. The data link between a destroyer or cruiser and the outside world ranges from one to two megabytes per second, Turner said, and that has to serve all of the ship's systems.
"The software that L-3 built has the ability to dial back bandwidth use to about 256 [kilobytes], so it can fit within that pipe if you need to stream video off the ship," he said.
When ICOP was installed on the Vicksburg, its intelligence specialist asked if the views from the vessel's onboard cameras — including the targeting cameras on its guns — could be fed into the system. When ICOP was installed on the ships of the Eisenhower strike group, the camera views from each vessel were fed into the network, so that intelligence officers and watchstanders on all the ships could see each other's videos.
"They told us, 'We want to use this box in ways you haven't thought of yet,'" Kane said. "I said, 'Good.' A lot of the good ideas we're getting are coming from the sailors."
While the integrators get more lessons learned, an ICOP Requirements Working Group is plotting the technology's future, including setting it up as a program of record. That would enable ICOP — which Kane said is "anemically funded" — to get money to further develop the technology, as well as determine which capabilities should be added or altered.
And so the train continues.
"It's been quite a ride since Trident Warrior," Kane said. "I always knew that if we had a good operational assessment, the product would speak for itself."

NLL FANS CELEBRATE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF FANN CUP CHARITY LACROSSE TOURNAMENTNews | 7/19/2011 4:45:55 PM | NLL.com
On July 23rd, National Lacrosse League (NLL) fans from Toronto ON, Buffalo and Rochester NY, Boston MA, Minneapolis MN, and Chicago IL will join together for the 10th time to play in the annual FANN Cup benefit lacrosse tournament. This year, the tournament will be held in the area where it all began, in the Greater Toronto Area. NLL fans will play against each other at the Garnet B. Rickard Recreational Complex at 2440 King St. West in Bowmanville, ON from at 8am-5pm. This is an event for amateur players of lacrosse, with a goal of raising funds for charity. The tournament includes activities such as Chinese and Silent Auctions (including prizes donated from NLL teams), and will also have food available. Spectators are welcome and encouraged. To date, the FANN Cup tournaments have raised over $50,000 in charitable contributions. This year's tournament will benefit the Abilities Centre, which aims to be a leader in helping people of all ages focus on their abilities and enhance their confidence and independence through state-of-the art opportunities. Donations will also be given to The War Amps, a Canadian nation-wide organization with the philosophy of "amputees helping amputees." For more information, email Donald Duclos at email@example.com or visit www.fanncup.com.

Murray got beat in straight sets to Stanislas Wawrinka, the biggest upset of the tournament so far as Wawrinka advances to his first ever Grand Slam semifinal.
It was a pretty one-sided affair for Wawrinka, who didn't face a single break point from Murray and cruised fairly easy 6-4, 6-3, 6-2.
[Photos: Andy Murray's faces of defeat]
What happened to the defending champion who was going for his third Grand Slam win in the last full year after his triumph at Wimbledon? Maybe a little bit of a hangover from his win in his home country.
Murray hit just 15 winners to his 30 unforced errors, and this was after dropping an opening set to Leonardo Mayer in the fourth round. His game wasn't sharp from the beginning of the tournament, and while most thought it was a layup for Murray to make this semifinal, his game just wasn't there.
Murray's quarterfinal exit is the first time he hasn't made a Grand Slam final when he entered the tournament since the 2012 French Open, ending his run as one of the hottest players in the world considering his play the last two years.
Who is the most happy about this result? While a lot would think Wawrinka, it has to be Djokovic, who now can avoid that scary Murray-Rafael Nadal one-two punch to win this U.S. Open.
Djokovic would have faced a tough opponent, and a man that beat him on this surface a year ago in the finals, but now gets the chance to take out Mikhail Youzhny and then Wawrinka before he faces up against Nadal.

Setting the table for a smarter planet
With grid computing models, sensor networks and analytics, we are making our food safer, more nutritious and most important, more widely available.
How do we put food on our tables? Once, people simply relied on their local farmers. Today, we depend on a global web of growers, fisheries, packers, shippers, manufacturers and retailers, as well as government and industry bodies.
As the world becomes smaller and "flatter," countries that at one time seemed distant are now primary sources of our food supply. Many of those countries do not have consistent standards for quality, process and accountability. Additionally, this complex system impacts and is impacted by other global systems – from energy to climate to healthcare to trade.
The result is a whole host of inefficiencies arising from issues of scarcity, safety, sustainability and cost. And an opportunity for our food system to get a lot smarter.
We need to make sure our food system is safe.
Today, the average Australian basket of food has travelled over 70,000 kilometres from producer to consumer – equivalent to travelling around Australia two-and-a-half times. Yet only a portion of the food entering the country is inspected for airborne viruses.
We need it to be affordable.
Consumer product firms and retailers lose $40 billion annually, or 3.5% of their sales, due to supply chain inefficiencies. And the true cost of food production can't always be captured in dollars. Sixty years ago, we could create a calorie of food with less than half a calorie of fossil fuel. Today, a single calorie of modern supermarket food requires 10 calories of fossil fuel to produce.
We need to make it more sustainable and efficient.
Rising fuel costs are making it increasingly difficult to get enough food to the populations that have come to depend on distant producers. At the same time, 30% of the food purchased in developed nations ends up going to waste.
Moving forward.
Trying to manage these problems in isolation is no longer an option. Fortunately, a smarter global food system – one that is more connected, instrumented and intelligent – is at hand. For example, IBM is helping Norway's largest food supplier use RFID technology to trace meat and poultry from the farm through the supply chain to the store shelf.
We're also collaborating with some of the world's leading retailers and manufacturers to create software solutions that can more efficiently integrate product demand with supply replacements, and help dramatically cut time, cost, waste and out-of-stock conditions. And in response to the global hunger crisis, IBM scientists are helping to develop stronger strains of rice that could produce crops with much larger, more nutritious yields.
A smarter planet is a healthy planet.
A smarter food system means end-to-end visibility across the entire global supply chain. So scarce resources can be more thoughtfully managed. So people can have more confidence in the quality of their food. So the whole world can put healthy meals on the table.
Let's build a smarter planet. Join us, and see what others are thinking, at ibm.com/think/nz.

With one week to go before new Twentieth Television talker "Kris," hosted by Kris Jenner, ends its test run on six Fox affiliated stations, here is an update according to the metered markets. Based on the weighted data from Nielsen through the week of August 12, "Kris" is averaging a 0.8 rating/3 share in households, which is equal to both the lead-in and year-ago (August 2012) time period averages. Data for the most current week – week of August 12 – is a 0.7/ 2 (out of a 0.7/ 2). Results among women 25-54 is a 0.6/ 4 (out of a 0.7/ 5, with the August 2012 time period a 0.5/ 3). And women 18-49 is a 0.5/ 4 (out of a 0.5/ 3, with the year-ago a 0.4/ 2).
In other words, there is growth in the key female demos from the year-ago time period, which is a positive. While certainly not spectacular, chances of "Kris" going national is probably about 50/50.

Oh really? That would make the Romulans really dumb then.

They obviously have ways of finding out which would naturally inhibit development of such technologies.
They signed and then went away for over 50 years. That does sound pretty dumb to me. When it comes to their "ways of finding out"...unless the UFP flat out tells them, or they observe the UFP developing/using a cloak, then spies are their only other resource. It's not as if they UFP research scientists have a Romulan in the room with them while they are developing various tech. The Romulans didn't know that Eric Pressman and the Pegasus crew were testing the phase cloak in 2357 untill Picard handed it over to them in 2370.
That's the point isn't it... Pressman developed it without their knowledge its true. But he had to take extraordinary measures of security hiding it even from other admirals and the rest of Starfleet. He couldn't have diverted as much resources into the project without drawing suspicion as he could have had he not been leashed by the Treaty of Algeron.

Stephen Hawking on God
The God Stephen Hawking rejects is the God of what is called "intelligent design." In discussing his argument from his book, The Grand Design, he says he rejects "belief in an omniscient Creator whose hands guide the working of the cosmos." I reject that theological view as well. It's a finite theology of an infinite God.
The idea of God Hawking reject is sometimes called "the God of the gaps." In this perspective, the idea of God 'fills in the gaps' in scientific knowledge. As scientific knowledge advances, this God retreats, getting smaller and smaller. <more>

How To Keep A Capricorn Man Interested In YouApril 26th, 2013
Here are just some tips which you may follow. (1) Play Hard To Get With Your Man Let your man chase you. How To Keep A Capricorn Man Interested In You yes men just love it when they do the chasing and not the other way around. They are always out for challenge and when a relationship with a woman does not offer any challenge anymore they more or less tend to flirt with other women that could cause the relationship to break.
It is fine if you can't talk to him for a few days because you have been busy with a group project at capricorn men in relationships college. It is ok if you chose to skip a
date with your guy just because you have to stay back at work to finish something on a tight deadline. Making him want you more is all about making him realize that you are a passionate girl who has a fire in her heart and a plan in her head to live life on her own terms.All that a woman wants when she is attracted to a man is to have him feel in love with a capricorn man the same way about her. But sometimes even when you are head over heals about a man all you would get from him is a polite courteous response and no romance.
However when you feed him and his ego a little with effortless flirting you can have him eating out of the palm of your hand and he will keep on coming back for more. 3. He will chase you forever if he feels like he can be playful and be himself when he is around you.
You would think this would only pertain to single available guys or guys around your own age or in a generally available eligible state. However it pertains to anyone of the male persuasion and that is about it. From a 12 year old climbing trees still to the happily married grandpa in his wheel chair; you pay attention to that person of the male persuasion and there will be twingles of jealousy. Does the jealously ramp up with the eligibility status of the male. Yes of course but if all you've got is 75 year old Mr. Daniels next door go laugh at his jokes and compliment his car that he no longer drives. Just see what happens.
In any case your date would be reasonably certain and aware about the wonderful time that you had on the date so would not be surprised at all if you called him soon after the date discussing the wonderful time that you had with him. If on the other hand a few days pass and your man does not hear from you at all he will definitely be intrigued and surprised by your behavior. He will be yearning to know what is the matter including what are you up to and why have not you called him. In trying to how to get a capricorn man understand and grasp what is on your mind it really will not take him too long to pick up the phone and dial your number hoping to get a hold of you. Therefore as you can clearly see the key to understanding how to make him call you lies in not being predictable. By and large predictability has been witnessed to be a major factor behind sounding the death knell of many relationships. Therefore whether it is in terms of knowing how to make him call you or any other scenario between the two of you make sure that you are not too predictable and he is left guessing on your subsequent moves at all times.
Then couple months go by and he starts getting snippy with her yet accuses her of being the How To Keep A Capricorn Man Interested In You snippy uptight one. He tells her its no big deal and she's overreacting when he hurts her feelings. How do you answer that? You really like this guy and he's treating you so nice and then he tells you you are overreacting to something that he did that hurt your feelings.
There is a set of easy to follow psychological tricks which shows any woman how to be irresistible to men.

I'm often surprised by how self-deluding so many women can be when it comes to sussing why a man has cheated on them.
Here are some tips for how to keep a man interested. 1.Let him know that he's the one! Your man needs to know you find him utterly attractive. Yes they're not vain creatures at all are they? It's important to support your man's big ego by letting him know you think he's totally hot! In fact you have to show him you find him totally hot! Keep him happy by keeping him interested in the 'intimate' department. When you don't give him a chance to become bored or to allow your sex life to become routine you will be maintaining a very happy and appreciative man! 2.Explore his deepest fantasies and if you're comfortable doing so help him act them out! Men will not want to stray if they can get everything they want in one place. Show him that you are everything he wants! Have fun with it and don't be afraid to wear something sexy or try new things.
She really did like him before he started being an ass. Sometimes he's still that sweet guy especially when they are in bed together. So she isn't sure what to do.
You can always try out several styles and see what works best for you. 2 Get the hair damp with the water spray bottle. Water helps give the hair a bit of hold while you are combing it. 3 Apply pomade or a similar product such as Brylcreem if you are looking for a wetter look to the hair. Make sure that the hair is well saturated.
Your character and talents will be what do capricorn men like appreciated when you meet the right man. Of course you want to make the best impression on the first date. Remember capricorn man in relationships the best person you how to tell if a capricorn man is in love can present is your true self.

2 Timothy 1:13-14 Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you.
The Christian doctrine is a trust committed to us….It is committed to us to be preserved pure and entire, and to be transmitted to those who shall come after us, and we must keep it, and not contribute any thing to the corrupting of its purity, the weakening of its power, or the diminishing of its perfection (Matthew Henry)
John MacArthur writes: Christian colleges, seminaries, pastors, and other church leaders who deviate from Scripture, defecting to "a different gospel" and wanting "to distort the gospel of Christ" (Galatians 1:6-7), will face a dreadful day of reckoning before God. When a church or any other Christian organization becomes liberal, not surprisingly this "drift" usually begins with a weakening of the convictions of the leadership regarding the inerrancy and sufficiency of the Word of God.

Reviews of How to Apply for a New Driver's License in Kansas
The proof of identification, residency is still not working. Today is 3-14-12. Does the state of Kansas realize what implications this has about their state? I can understand a link being unavailable while updates are being made, but unavailable for months would not be acceptable in most business settings. Another reason to think of Kansas as just a bunch of flatland farmers unable/ unwilling to keep up with the times. Thanks Kansas!
The proof of identification link is still not working
The Proof of Identification is still not working as of 11-2-2022
Link is still not working, 1-30-12. Phone numbers all go to automated message and don't provide required information.

My friend Martha Howard asked me to post my experiment with shakes. I might post others. There's a lot of variety among them, as you can already see from the last few posts.
This Week in Shakes
The protein drink is a chalky substance diluted and well-enough flavored that a small store sample persuades you that you would drink it at home–only to find at home that, no matter how much attention you'd paid at the time, you can't get the makeup to look as good or the hair to fall again the way it did at the original moment of optimism. I had committed to two tubs of vegan breakfast powder. One recalled the fleck of inhaled bugs and the other a bully pushing my face down thoroughly into tough wet dirt.
When it comes to experiments I commit my mouth. Five months of unquenchably pasty tongue prison ran out finally and I leaped to acquire seven new shake packs full of promise and percentages. Today: Vega One all-in-one nutritional shake in French Vanilla: 50% of daily intake vitamins & minerals, 15 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber & 1.5 grams of omega 3, plus antioxidants, probiotics and greens. Dairy, gluten & soy free, no sugar added, and 135 calories. Complete daily essentials to help you thrive. Good for your body and the planet: clean . . . without compromise. The ampersand's shortcut efficiency figures negativity baroquely.
My shake was green. The world has not enough water for everyone, nor amounts sufficient to dilute this shake so that its flavor could be rejoined at the party after the chaos of getting in, finding the room with the coats, and moving outside for a quick smoke. Vanilla is a tart baby when you drink it from the bottle and a teasing allusion if you bite the bark. Vanilla is also the sex you slide into, the pleasant-event of that hand again there, or the feeling of feet arching. My tongue sought out but never landed.
The dread of another virtue-breakfast was nuked today by politics, a painful turn of need and interest towards hypervigilance. There was a Punch and Judy Show with all the thrill and erotic boredom of your average sexual antagonism. Punch called Judy a vampire, and then Judy threw her feminism hard, knocking his need to eat the brains he also finds repulsive. The mob of tweeting lurkers verged with stakes for theory's heart.
Disgust and love keep me very quiet. The chocolate version of yesterday's foul mud was eleven additional calories, which will today be soundly punished for my own good.
Last night was spent battling the cat's episodic loneliness and so this exhausted morning's Vega Energizing Smoothie was an especially dreadful prospect, reminding me that the verb "to stomach" shows that bodies have not only their own ideas but radically private sovereign tongues. Vanilla Almondilla offers as its main gift what it doesn't have: dairy, gluten & soy free, no sugar added. In the Coke Zero era the ideal contribution of a food is its subtraction of dark consequences from pleasure. 90 calories, 10 grams of protein. Xanthan gum is the aspartame of the health shake, which is also green.
The iPad reads aloud in the kitchen this morning while I pull things together. Voice Dream offers a woman's halting, nasal phonetic literalism to relay a scholarly book on comedy, preferring spectacle's excesses to narrative's enchainments. My naked partner enters the white room holding the ginger cat. He wonders, is it the Russian model of narrative where y is the effect of x or the Aristotelian one of intensities, reversals, and consequences? Raw Protein Beyond Organic Protein Formula features Bob Marley Brand coffee: it is free of gluten, dairy, soy, fillers, artificial flavors, and good ones. I can't stop laughing.
I spent the last night alone and so the morning was like a hotel morning with its shapeless offer of waking without obligation to be a particular way. The noise of a mind open to a limited formlessness makes breathing and blinking worth nothing in particular, and I considered taking a break from breakfast altogether because of the quiet. But the night's move through finitude required some pause after I lifted my head up and laughed at how turtle that everyday stretching is. I say to myself get ahold of yourself. The Vega Energizing Tropical Smoothie was wonderful, a wonder.
I'm well-acquainted with the genre of the Skype dinner date with old lovers. After recipe hunting left me numb, today's shake was my dinner protein, Vega Reparative in Berry–a revoltingly sweet attempt at Nestle's Quick Strawberry. I reenacted to my love a scene from Domestic Violence of an old white woman telling stories on her husband, a college professor who had so abused her that she saw an angel flying round her room looking down kindly from the high white ceiling to offer advice. "I know I'm crazy," she says softly, with her rice-paper skin like mica, pixillated, awry.
The woman with Parkinson's swims everyday and each day seems to diminish a little, which I sense because she always wears the same pants, of a slightly burnt orange hue. Bending stretches things out, so don't presuppose, I tell myself, knowing that in the future a snapshot of this naked gym tableau might well portray a secret no-one could have known. We used to talk about her bad back, which we now have nostalgia for. She laughs at my Amazing Meals shake, with its grainy and delicious austerity. I dash it down as though it matters that it gets somewhere.

The Hundreds: Method 2x
The game is a form of life coming into being, extension, and activity, the blinking open at the start of the day and the beyond to anything that was explained. If I run out of gas but not out of love, if you let a piece go without completion, if the session isn't finished but definitively over, if the delicious coffee could only wake us forever, if we could come forth as "I" with the other objects, if we would take in that all things don't happen for a reason, if the flat voice were other than contract or trauma. If we could be the person we would go out with again, if we could hoist our accusations against ourselves, if I could stop motion sugar and labor power, if we could feel the chance touch with soft eyes and no ducking, if you can bear the arbitrary, if they can bear the common structure, or vomit, or accident, if we could take the hard hit that it's all brevity and struggle, if the form of life turned toward a way of life, sidestepping this event and that one's tough but only seeming infinity. Sometimes things have to be forced.

2. This game is called "Watch Your Step." I am not sure that it's a game or that any of the games I've described is a game. It's more like a scene that stimulates games of encounter, which is to say, scenarios of risk. My thinking about this was world-shaken by Diana Taylor's article on double-blind scenarios, which came out after her book, which I also loved, but as I was the editor for the smaller, later piece, my bones know it as deeply as a body would that has many times leaned toward its object. This is not objective knowledge.
The best a thought can do, after all, is to make itself available to be found, by documenting its encounter with something so well that it shifts things into a new proximity, as though words in a dictionary had suddenly slid down into each other's definitions. That's not too eloquent, but the event of eloquence has only a little to do with meaning emerging. I was researching what a "scene" is while editing Diana's piece for a "special issue on the case," which the University of Chicago Press refused to make into a book because they thought it wasn't "sexy."

Consider the following examples:
Clint Eastwood:
I would just like to say something, ladies and gentlemen.
Something that I think is very important. It is that, you, we
— we own this country.
We — we own it. It is not you owning it, and not
politicians owning it. Politicians are employees of ours.

I noticed, over the last few months, as my mother was dying, that I had taken pictures that seemed very specific. Now I am looking at the archive, as one looks at a drying hand after a manicure.
My mother died of femininity. I told her that I would say this about her. She had said, "Will you write a book about me?" and I asked if she wanted me to. She said "Yes. I want you to say that I left the world a better place because I had you!" I said I thought that this was a bad idea: people would think it an excuse to write about me. She said, "Can you think of another topic?" I offered this phrase about femininity, and explained why. My brother-in-law thought that it would be better to say that my mother died from vanity rather than from femininity. I can see why he would prefer that story; it's interesting to see how a label shifts the implication.
In her late teens she took up smoking, because it was sold as a weight-reduction aid. When she died she had aggressive stage 4 lung cancer. In her teens she started wearing high heels, to enhance the back arch and ass-to-calves posture whose strut transforms the whole body to a sexual tableau, shifting between teetering and stillness. Later, she had an abortion and on the way out tripped down the stairs in those heels, hurting her back permanently. Decades later, selling dresses at Bloomingdale's, she was forced to carry, by her estimate, 500 lbs. of clothes each day. Shop girls, you know, are forced to dress like their customers. They have to do this to show that they understand the appropriate universe of taste, even while working like mules in that same universe, carrying to their ladies stacks of hanging things and having to reorganize what their ladies left behind on the dressing room floor. She liked this job, because she liked being known as having good taste.

I. Kathryne Lindberg
Awhile ago a student killed himself and all I could do was take his parents to dinner—it was a nice dinner. Later a friend offed himself and all I could do was take his "next of kin" to lunch and to miss him. Then over a year ago, a lovely, lost while alive ex-student whose people I don't know killed herself and all I could do was to email mutual friends and protect the loved ones who don't know me from me for fear of a stranger's extending a wound, which isn't worth it. Then my friend seems to have left her car a shell on a bridge with the keys still in it. She vaporized, although her daily friends reported that in recent sightings she was exuberant. A bipolar friend of mine calls us academics all extroverted introverts. Exuberant was the name of my first blog, which was a failure. In sum: a mood is neither anchor nor plot. (. . .)
II. The Nervous System
Supervalent Thought has been, among other things, a project that tries to reintroduce dissociation as a mix of psychoanalytic, formal, affective, and performative modalities of detachment from the scene and sense of expressive continuity between outsides and insides, spaces that, like public and private, are effects rather than causes, differentially produced, and existing in projected perceptions of origin and event. I wanted no longer to presume some naturalized feedback loop between inside and outside, as has been endemic to affect theory, missing the spray of things. Continue reading →

Us living as we do, upside down…
Another try: I've been arguing that a person is a loosely-knotted cluster of impulses, reflections, apprehensions and prehensions moving through ordinary time (imagine a net with head, hands and feet), and not, ontologically, an extreme solidity of form constantly under threat of dissolution by the fragile infrastuctures for maintaining fantasy. The latter is best exemplified by the iconic image of the combover subject. The subject of the combover stands in front of the mirror just so, to appear as a person with a full head (of hair/ideas of the world). Harsh lighting, back views, nothing inconvenient is bearable in order for the put-together headshot to appear. No one else can be fully in the room, there can be no active relationality: if someone else, or an audience, is there, everyone huddles under the open secret that protects the combover subject from being exposed socially confronting the knowledge that the world can see the seams, the lacks, and the pathos of desire, effort, and failure.
Who isn't the combover subject? No-one. The combover subject literalizes the plaint of ordinary subjectivity to be allowed to proceed in its incoherence and contradictions. The very fantasy of a subject bound to itself as a solid structure is itself material for a combover. Even a philosophical skeptic like Cavell, at home with the failure of language to be adequate to its situation and its desire, finds satisfaction in style; and even a depressive realist like me, who sees her failure to be idealizable as confirmation of her good sense, takes comfort in encountering a version of herself that will not be surprised by delight but by being the recognizable thing she has come to trust, the thump and the stumble.

ok those Norco glue patchs SUCK another one leaked . last tube in the tire (presta) going to try tomake it up to Kingston road LBS without a nipple leak...........SS Toronto does sound like a Boat
he, he nipple leak! (where that school-girlish picture of somnambulat now?)
never used the norco patches. usually keep the Park tool patches handy for emergencies but for permament fix you have to use the proper glue+sandpaper+patch kits...or replace the tube.
Okay then you constructive critics, I'll just suggest my original and true feeling (f*ck SS anyways):
Fixed Gear
EDIT: I've never used any of the glueless patches I just assumed they would be crap. I usually carry 1 spare tube with me in case I get a flat (I usually get one at a time) and a patch/glue/sandpaper kit in case I get two. I generally just slip on the new tube and wait until the evening to patch the old tube, as it can be tough when you're out in the elements.
Would fill the chest area nicely... and the latin in italics in the back.... hmmm?Originally Posted by Shiznaz
I HATE IT when my nipples leak....dang!!!
a simple logo would be alright. i like option 2 there, although in addition to the boat reference, "SS" has some third reich connotations....Originally Posted by TRaffic Jammer
perhaps just writing it out in full "Toronto Single Speed & Fixed Gear [Riders]"?
Last edited by jeremywhitehorn; 06-15-06 at 10:48 AM.
Like Shiznaz leads up to.... is there a single speed rider on there or on the list? You guys are all fixed no?
Spelling out all out on a single line makes for small illegible jersey type.
should'nt Fixed Gear be ahead of single speed ???
I thought you were going to be going single speed????Originally Posted by TRaffic Jammer
What about TORONTO SSFG? Simple = awesome.
I'm going to be both.... I'm also not getting a jersey at this point either, so don't wait up for me.Originally Posted by STEEKER
thanks for thinkin of me though. I think yes to fixed being primary to ss
apparently people will think you are a nazi if the letters SS are on your cycling jerseyOriginally Posted by 32flavours
just a thought - if the jersey read just fixed gear i could probably get some of the guys from the toronto fixed group on board for a jersey, could bring the costs down...
word of advice, Never do repair work on your bike while naked,,,,,,,,,,,,, and the SS thing on a shirt looks bad to peeps not in the know about bikes
One Gear
Can everyone be happy now?
yeah that's what i meant...Originally Posted by Shiznaz
^^But what about the SSFG wannabes like me?
i call a truce; i really like that. very simple.Originally Posted by Shiznaz
Yea I see loads of Nazis out riding around. Way to ruin letter association, and the little arty mustache.
edit I love that pic Wes.

hahaha.. I always said that nobody would ever be able to wear one of those again but I actually saw a guy with a total hitler moustache a few weeks ago. Although in his case I think it was more of a mario/luigi moustache.Originally Posted by TRaffic Jammer

Top 5 Reasons For Joining Exhibits
Is setting up a booth in an upcoming trade show something that has crossed your mind lately? Maybe you have been toying with the idea for a while but just haven't found enough motives to do so. Here's why you should finally do it:
1. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain
One sentence: there is greater risk in not joining a trade show than being in one. Trade shows provide businesses an opportunity and venue for connecting to potential customers. Every person in attendance is a potential customer for participating exhibitors. They're also a potential loss for you if you're not there to seize the chance to interact with them.
Your absence automatically makes you a non-player in the field. It puts all of your competitors present in the event in an advantage. Customers are there to remember brand names based on impression, and if your brand name isn't even there to begin with, you're already at a disadvantage.
2. You can directly target interested customers
A trade show is basically a place where thousands of clients convene in one location to gain more insights about businesses that provide certain a product or service. "Companies generally market at trade shows as a way of directly selling their product within a specific niche," Display-Wholesale.com remarked.
Trade show events therefore reduce virtual complications and the need for cold calling by providing and amplifying consumer interaction in achieving a sale. Aside from that, one could immediately form a consumer base by giving business cards or compiling email lists.
3. Trade shows are cost-effective
According to a study conducted by the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR), "It costs 22% less to contact a potential buyer at a show than through field sales calls." And at what cost? All you need is a simple booth and some technical accessories! The trade show itself gives the interactive environment necessary for you to market your niche effectively.
Of course you'll do well with a high-quality giveaway item (but that's for another article altogether). What matters is that you make the most of the space you occupy and in trade shows, that doesn't mean spending much.
4. Trade shows generate new audience appeal
According to data from CEIR, "88% of the attendees at a trade show usually haven't been seen by a member of your company's sales staff in the past year, and 70% plan to buy one or more products. On average, 76% of attendees ask for quotes and 26% end up signing purchase orders. 72% of visitors say the show itself influences their buying decisions."
Need we say more?
5. Trade show promotion lasts longer than the event itself
According to CEIR, "87% of attendees will pass along some of the information they obtained at the show, and 64% will tell at least six other people about it." If you have made a good impression, rest assured that people will talk about it. The items that they receive from your booth, if commonly used and often on displayed, could provide even more visibility for your brand name and logo.

Clean your credit
Think of your credit report as a report card and your credit score as the grade that indicates how youve handled your bills in the past. Getting high marks is important. After all, lenders use your credit (or FICO) score to set rates for loans and credit cards. Insurers use it when determining rates on some policies. And some employers even check it when screening employees.

Las Cruces >> The Doña Ana County Commission may relaunch a process to fund local economic development on Tuesday and vote on a statement supporting the county clerk's recent decision to issue same-sex marriage licenses.
The five-person County Commission will vote on a resolution stating support for County Clerk Lynn Ellins, who began issuing marriage licenses for the first time ever to same-sex couples last week.
County Commission Chairman Billy Garrett, Democrat, is proposing the resolution. He said taking stances on topics that promote a "fairer, more just society" is "part of the commission's function."
"I concur personally with the clerk that this is a good interpretation of the law, though I'm not an attorney like he is," Garrett said. "He's independent of the commission, and this is simply an opportunity for the commission as a whole to endorse or indicate support for his decision."
Newly appointed County Commissioner Ben Rawson, Republican, has expressed opposition to Ellins issuing same-sex marriage licenses.
Rawson's first meeting was two weeks ago after being appointed by the governor to fill a vacancy.
Also Tuesday, the County Commission will vote on restarting a procurement process for economic development services, but this time with revised terms that must be met by respondents. There are now more-narrow qualifications about the type of services the county is looking for, officials said.
Commissioners backed off an earlier version of the process after a backlash from business leaders who said they were concerned about potential funding cuts to the Mesilla Valley Economic Development Alliance, a nonprofit industry recruiter that has historically gotten a large funding award from the county.
Business leaders' concerns stemmed from the fact that two entities -- MVEDA and a Utah company -- had submitted responses, and county staff had initially proposed not funding MVEDA because its application didn't rank high enough in an initial review.
The county has $105,000 to award this year for economic development services, according to county documents.
In addition Tuesday, the County Commission is expected to, according to the agenda:
-- Vote on a proposed site north of the county building as the location of a new city-county 911 call center. The move would allow the full design of the structure, and eventually construction, to begin. Voters in early July OK'd $6 million in the form of a GO bond renewal for the project.
-- Hear the first reading on a proposed "flow control" ordinance, which would restrict the places that trash haulers in the unincorporated areas could dump their trash. Garrett said, if passed, it would result in more-predictable revenue source for waste managers, including landfill and transfer station operators, and give them more certainty in planning.
-- Hear a presentation by the city of Sunland Park on its Metropolitan Redevelopment District Plan.
-- listen to a presentation about the 2015-19 Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan, a list of ranked priorities for capital projects in the county that's used as a basis for seeking funding for the projects.

Icona Pop – I Love It (Solidisco Remix)
Just when you thought the extremely catchy Swedish jam, 'I Love It', couldn't get any better, Solidisco hit us with a remix that will not get un-stuck from your head. I've been playing this one all weekend long, but I still can't decide which part about it I like most; the disco flavor throughout the hook, or the semi-sadistic lyrics.
Maybe I find the singer's 'zero fucks given' attitude somewhat endearing, or maybe I just wish I could time travel to the 80s…. Who knows? Either way, this remix has all the makings of a standout tune. Check it out, and peep the original below if you haven't already heard it.
