"My sense of evil is one of distance from God. I don't really believe there are evil people but that there are people who can act in an evil manner. And I think that's a product of ego. The closer you are to God, the less your ego is going to be. To act in an evil way is to put your ego before God. Now, as to why there is evil . . . You know, maybe it's because I'm a mystic, but I believe that reality is nothing we can see on the surface, that it has a deeper component, one only apparent to God. I think our souls come into the world to heal brokenness, and the world is a broken place. Suffering because of evil is real, and we must try to heal the suffering. We see suffering because we do not have the advantage of seeing the world beyond time and space—these are human categories—as God is able to see all things. It's hard to explain or understand, but it's like trying to train a one-year-old not to run out into the street. There is no way you are going to explain to that child why they can't go out into the road; they think you're cruel for not allowing them to go, but you can see the broader picture, you can see all implications." Rabbi Bernie King, Temple Shir Ha-Ma'alot, Irvine, who came to the religious life after serving on a Navy submarine and marching with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
"I don't think of it as a role. It's easy for me to be the bad guy because that's how I am in real life. I came up from the street. I had nothing; I had to be that way. I've been in trouble with the law, arrested for stealing cars and assault with a deadly weapon. That's all I knew. It wasn't like I looked at myself as a bad guy; it was just a way of life. I know some guy from Santa Monica might look down on me as being evil, but I don't think that guy could have survived growing up in downtown Santa Ana. I think you either live your life scaring other people or getting scared yourself. I've actually turned down work when people have asked me to be a good guy. I just hang up on them. I don't know what it's like to be a good guy. This is who I am." Aaron Aguilera, who wrestles for Ultimate Pro Wrestling as the malevolent Hardcore Kid, has been known to spit on those who boo him but says he has more hostility for the "weirdoes that think it's cool to cheer for the bad guy. I crap on them even more."
"I think evil is any kind of act that someone consciously knows is going to harm another and cause them physical and mental pain. I was thinking about it with animals—like starvation or neglect or lighting a cat on fire, stuff like that—just senseless acts of badness." Anonymous technician at a veterinary clinic who grooms, tests and occasionally euthanizes pets, some of which are pretty cute.
"I had a client who was a registered sex offender, and he was evil, absolutely without conscience. When he told me that he still struggled with his desire to have sex with prepubescent boys, I sought to find a way to strengthen his resolve. 'Why don't you?' I asked. He thought about it for a moment and replied, 'Only because I might get caught.' 'What about the torment of your victims? What about their suffering?' I asked. He thought about that and replied, 'No, that doesn't bother me.' I never saw him again, but I often think about the fact that he's probably still out there, acting because he wants to, regardless of the consequences to anyone else. And, yeah, sometimes that keeps me awake at night." OC psychologist.
"I don't hold that God lets evil things happen for some greater purpose. I'm sorry, but I can't fathom there is any way that that little girl (Danielle Van Dam) being taken away and tortured and murdered is somehow purposeful and planned by God. The only purpose to suffering is what we draw out of it. But I don't believe God created evil and suffering to somehow test us. One of the aftereffects of Sept. 11 is that all those little girls in Afghanistan can now go to school. That's wonderful, but I don't think God caused those hijackers to get up one day and plow those planes into buildings so those little girls could go to school. Why does it happen? I have no idea. I do know that you must be cautious about using the word evil. In this present conflict, we call our enemies evil, but don't they call us the same thing? Evil is a word that can get thrown around so easily. We need to look at and examine ourselves first. We might not go out individually and commit evil, but we'll demand low prices on clothing and allow that it's okay for others to suffer as long as we get it." The Reverend Gary Barmore teaches classes on religion at Orange Coast Community College and is pastor emeritus at Fairview Community Church in Costa Mesa. He signed a letter advocating compassion for drug addicts, arguing it was a "medical and social problem."

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- Only two teams are without a conference loss as the MIAA football schedule enters its third week, and both are hosting games this Saturday (Sept. 29).
The Central Missouri Mules (3-1, 2-0 MIAA), winners of three in a row, host 19th-ranked Pittsburg State (3-1, 1-1 MIAA) at Walton Stadium.
The last time these two squads met in Warrensburg back in 2005, UCM administered an 83-21 shelling to the Gorillas -- the most points given up by PSU in the modern era.
The Mules have the fourth-ranked rushing defense in NCAA Division II, allowing only 29.8 yards per game. Pittsburg State enters the game with the No. 6 rushing offense in the division at 263.5 yards per game.
The Gorillas will be trying to avoid having back-to-back MIAA losses for the first time since 2002.
No. 10 Northwest Missouri State (2-1, 2-0 MIAA) hosts Southwest Baptist (0-4, 0-2 MIAA) for the Battle of the Bearcats.
Northwest bounced back from a topsy-turvy non-conference portion of the schedule by posting decisive wins in its first two MIAA games.
SBU, with the top passing offense in the conference (296.5 -- 9th in Division II), has held a lead in the second half of every game this season, and had a fourth-quarter lead in three of them.
Missouri Western (3-1, 1-1 MIAA), which debuted in the AFCA Division II Top 25 this week at No. 24 following its win at PSU last week, also returns to its home field this week as the Griffons host Washburn (2-2, 1-1 MIAA) at Spratt Stadium.
Western averages 36.5 points per game, but will be facing an Ichabods squad which has allowed only 19.8 points per game so far in 2007 and has the No. 3 pass defense in the MIAA (105.2 Rating).
Fort Hays State (3-1, 1-1 MIAA) plays at Truman (2-2, 0-2 MIAA) for the first time in school history.
The Tigers will be aiming to avenge the 38-13 loss to the Bulldogs in their first-ever meeting last season in Hays, and be trying for their first 4-1 start since the 2000 season.
The prolific offense shown in the non-conference schedule has not been there for Truman's first two MIAA contests, as the Bulldogs have been held to 13 points in losses to the current league leaders Northwest and UCM.
Emporia State (3-1, 1-1 MIAA) plays on the road for the fourth time in five games as the Hornets head to Missouri Southern (3-1, 1-1 MIAA).
ESU's success to this point has been with the defense, allowing only 138.2 yards on the ground per game and sporting the No. 2 pass defense in the MIAA (104.3 Rating).
Southern's prolific offense (450.8 yards, 36.0 points per game) will give the Hornets a test. The Lions also are the only MIAA squad with a better pass defense rating than ESU (94.5).
Video web streams for all games are available through themiaa.tv, for a $5.95 charge per game.
DEFENSIVE TWO-POINTER FOR ESU: Emporia State sophomore CB Travis Lee scored the eighth defensive conversion in MIAA history during the Hornets' 26-12 loss at Fort Hays State Saturday (Sept. 12).
He scooped up the point-after kick blocked by senior LB Matt Demicoli and scored ESU's first-ever defensive conversion to make it 16-9 with 2:30 left in the second period.
Southwest Baptist's Tyron Stigers was the last to get a defensive conversion in the MIAA, doing so last season vs. Northwest.
NO PICKS FOR TRUMAN: The Truman Bulldogs have not thrown an interception in their first 156 pass attempts of the 2007 season.
Junior QB Matt Ticich has a string of 175 pass attempts without a pick dating back to last season. The last foe to do so was Southwest Baptist's Robert Barrow back on Nov. 4, 2006.
The league record for consecutive passes without being intercepted is 247 -- set by Central Missouri's Toby Korrodi over the 2005 and 2006 seasons.
There is no NCAA Division II or MIAA mark for passes thrown without an interception by a team to start the year. The NCAA-II record for lowest interception percentage in a season is 0.7 percent -- New Haven (Conn.) tossed just two picks in 296 pass attempts in the 1993 season.
OMON WATCH: Northwest Missouri State senior RB Xavier Omon enters this week fifth on the MIAA's career rushing list with 5,088 yards.
He needs 689 yards to pass Pittsburg State's Ronald Moore (1989-92 -- 5,776) for fourth place on the conference list.
Omon set the Northwest career scoring mark with his five touchdowns last week vs. Truman giving him 414 points -- now fifth-best in MIAA history.
He's 33 points from passing Truman's Jarrett Anderson (1993-96 -- 446) for fourth place.
THE 80-WIN CLUB: Two MIAA bench bosses have a chance to close in on the 80-win plateau as a head coach in the conference.
Willie Fritz of Central Missori tied Terry Noland (1983-96) as the most victorious coach in school history and for eighth place on the conference list by getting win No. 78 last week at Washburn.
Missouri Western's Jerry Partridge raised his victory total to 74 with last week's victory at Pitt State.
Only seven coaches have collected 80 wins in the MIAA.

Read to know some of the most interesting facts about silk & silk production.
- Did you know that silk was discovered by accident? A silk cocoon had accidentally fallen into a cup of hot tea. A Chinese Empress Hsi-Ling-Shih pulled the threads and discovered silk.
- You can get at-most two kilometers of silk thread from just one silk cocoon. But on an average you can get 600 and 900 meters.
- The methods of twisting, reeling and weaving of the silk have hardly changed since the earliest times.
- If you visited a silkworm producing facility and entered a room where the silkworms were being raised, it would sound like there was heavy rain falling on the roof. But it is really the sound of silkworms munching on those chopped mulberry leaves.
- It takes around 30,000 silkworms to produce 12 pounds of raw silk.
- The official term for silk production is "sericulture".
- Sleeping on a silk pillowcase is said to cause a delay in a person getting wrinkles because of the essential amino acids in silk bedding.
- Silk is cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It's a naturally self adjusting fabric.
- The "burn test" will indicate whether not a piece of fabric is silk. Silk will curl away from the flame and leaves a brittle and crushable black bead after burning. It will almost always extinguish itself when the flame is removed from it.

Lakewood (Ohio) St. Edward five-star standout Delvon Roe (6-7, 215, Rivals.com's No. 5 overall player in the class of 2008) was in Ann Arbor over Labor Day weekend to partake in some open gym, hang out with the Michigan team and take in U-M football's big win over Vanderbilt. On Saturday, Oct. 7, he returned to the scene, catching another open gym - this time as a spectator - for another football and basketball weekend at Michigan.Michigan pounded MSU on the gridiron, of course; coincidentally, the Wolverines and Spartans remain two of the top teams on Roe's list.

"London, Asharq Al-Awsat
Hard-line fundamentalists have pledged to ban alcohol and gender mixing in new areas throughout the United Kingdom where Shariaa will be imposed. According to this plan, a large number of posters bearing the slogans no gambling, no music and concerts, no nudity or vice, and no drugs and smoking will be distributed. The posters announce Beware: You are entering a Shariaa-controlled zone - Islamic rules enforced.
The fundamentalists are scheduled to start the plan in Waltham Forest, part of the London City Council, later this month and they are also claiming that thousands of Shariaa police will monitor the compliance with the Shariaa rules in the streets.
Lawyer Anjem Choudary, former secretary general of Al-Muhajiroun and Al-Ghurabaa movements in Britain, has called for implementing this plan as an alternative to the government's attempts to combat violent extremism under the prevention strategy.
He told Asharq Al-Awsat that there are 25 areas in Britain under the British antiterrorism law which were described as centers for extremists. But we will visit these areas in the suburbs of Birmingham and Manchester. He added: As Islamists, we have a clear stand on gender mixing, taking drugs, gambling, vice, and concerts where everything becomes mixed up and also have a clear stand on democracy which we consider unbelief. He said the Shariaa police will include others who do not belong to the fundamentalist trend.

"Anjem Choudary (Urdu: انجم چودری; born 1967 in Welling, England) is a British former solicitor, and, before it was proscribed, spokesman for the Islamist group Islam4UK. He is married, has four children, and lives in Ilford, London.
Choudary studied medicine at the University of Southampton before switching to commercial law. He became a solicitor, and chairman of the Society of Muslim Lawyers. He later met Omar Bakri Muhammad, and the two helped form the Islamist organisation, al-Muhajiroun. The group organised several pro-Islam demonstrations, including a banned protest march in London for which Choudary was summoned to appear in court. Al-Muhajiroun was a controversial organisation, which was later disbanded following the UK government's decision to ban it. Choudary was present at the launch of its intended successor, Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah, and later helped form Al Ghurabaa, which was also banned, before he became the spokesman for Islam4UK.
Choudary is a vocal critic of the UK's involvement in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and has praised the terrorists involved in the attacks of 11 September 2001, and 7 July 2005. He believes in the implementation of Sharia Law throughout the UK, and marched in protest at the Jyllands-Posten cartoons controversy, following which he was prosecuted for organising an unlawful demonstration. He was also investigated, but not charged, for his 2006 comments regarding Pope Benedict XVI."

The fire, which started shortly before 4 p.m. in a row of garages to the rear of the 100 block of North Ninth Street, destroyed two of them and caused smoke damage to several other structures. Houses at 143 and 145 N. Ninth St. were both condemned because of smoke and other code violations.
Preliminary estimates by Fire Commissioner Duane Trautman put the cost of the damage at $25,000. There were no injuries.
Three boys who were seen running from the area of the fire were released by police after being detained, police Chief Daniel Wright said on Friday.
"The case is still under investigation," he said. "We had some people who identified the kids, and we talked to them."
The fact that the fire appeared to have been burning for a period of time before it was being reported is complicating the investigation, the chief said.
"There are some concerns about how long the fire was burning," Wright said. "We are assisting the fire department. We are not ready to call it arson, and I don't think the fire commissioner is ready to call it arson. But there are suspicious circumstances."
Trautman agreed. In addition to the trash and other dry debris that created fuel for the fire, high winds aided in its spread, he explained.
"I was the first unit on the scene," he said. "It was a well-advanced fire when I got there. It had blown into the building because of the prevailing winds and had been burning for a while.
Anyone who may have noticed suspicious activity in the area before the blaze is asked to call police at 717-272-6611.

A man walks down DeSiard Street in downtown Monroe after much-needed showers fell across Monroe and West Monroe on Tuesday. The clock at the boardwalk, below left, in front of Ouachita Parish Courthouse, is reflected in rainwater.
- Filed Under
Tuesday morning's widespread soaking rain, the first in seven weeks, may have saved northeastern Louisiana's parched non-irrigated crops.
"It was a life-saver for dry land crops," said Ouachita Parish farmer Gary Mathes. "I had planted some (non-irrigated) soybeans weeks ago that haven't had enough moisture to come up, but this will get them going. We needed it bad. It's going to mean a lot to a lot of people."
While farmers welcomed the crop-quenching rains, the accompanying wind and lightning with the storm caused almost 10,000 Entergy outages. ...

Is anyone planning on buying things online today? I am thinking of buying some fat quarters, but not sure who from yet.
How about the Grab Bags from Nancy's Notions? For $9.99, and no telling what could be in them. Not sure I like someone else filling my order for me or not. What if it is nothing I want or need?
Connecting Threads has a sale as well, but it seems limited to the samplers of their choice.
------Bernina 630, Bernina embroidery module, Pfaff 2036, Bernina 1200DA serger, Unique Sewing Cabinet 450L
I have to admit, I did most of my shopping already, but...
I still have a full cart at Fabric.com and another one at FabricMart. Those sales expire tonight, but I still haven't decided whether I've already spent too much...
I already got a dress form this weekend and I'm expecting a package from FabricMart any minute now :o) And that's just the sewing stuff...
Does paying off my dentist bill count for Cyber Monday? Somehow, I doubt it.
Probably a solar powered shed light, from Northern Tool.
Too many projects stacked up for me to go buying fabric online (unless you count fabric for slipcovering the couch, and I really should get a swatch first. So I may just ask for swatches.)
I wasn't hunting for sewing things, but on trying Macy's Cyber Monday offer, I discovered that ordering an item shown as "Available' on the website will let you get all the way through the rather lengthy ordering process, waiting until after you hit 'Submit" to let you know that, whoops, it isn't really available at all.
My Macy's card is going to get very cold at this rate. -- Edited on 11/28/11 7:17 PM --
Actually, I was pretty angry about this experience, because of course the implication is that you cannot rely on the website regarding the availability something you are interested in, so it's a waste of time and effort, and inconsiderate on the part of the merchant, as well.
So I sent an irritated email to customer service. To my surprise, there was a very fast response. Unfortunately, it was just the usual 'Macy's is continually trying to improve service..." pap, so I wrote the guy back telling him that although his response was gratifyingly quick, there was nothing in it that was useful, and I was still not minded to purchase anything else from Macy's.
To my further surprise, a different manager fired back an apology plus a hefty discount code for my next online purchase (with the usual designer stuff excluded, of course). My feathers are surprisingly smoothed.
The moral? Complain, ladies, when a merchant disses you.
So, with the coupon, what do you plan to buy? I am surprised you got a quick email from 2 managers and a hefty discount coupon code as well. It does help to complain, if you need to complain.
We await your post telling us the next transaction with the hefty discount went through and you are now a happy shopper. I wonder if they will somehow monitor your shopping to see if things go through for you or not. I bet you will hear from the 2nd manager again.
I have not decided yet, but probably something in the cashmere vein.
As to why they responded? I think everyone is watching the bottom line, hoping to goodness for a profit, and the squeaky wheel (me, or thee) gets the grease.
Regarding Macys, I didn't realize the website and the store had different prices, and the store doesn't like to honor the website prices, although you can return something bought online to a Macys store. I recently exchanged a pair of shoes I bought online, tried on a different size and they were still too wide. I ended up with a different pair, and I had printed out the online pair, for the stock # in case I didn't see them in the store. The online price was 25.00 less than the in store price. I asked if the store would match, and they gave me the song and dance about online Macys being different than retail Macys, but then they finally matched it.
------My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 10, and I've been sewing ever since.

This Race Between A Nissan 370Z And Flying Men Is Odd But Entertaining
Despite its honking exhaust note, no one can deny that the now-cheaper Nissan 370Z is a fantastic performance bargain. But one question has always dogged me: is it faster than two guys who jump off a mountain wearing wingsuits? »

Pell Grants do not have to be repaid and are awarded only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or professional degree. This award is based on financial need as determined by your SAR (Student Aid Report).
The amount you may be awarded will depend on the EFC (Expected Family Contribution) number that is listed on your SAR and by the number of hours in which you will be enrolled each semester. Award amounts vary from year to year. An award letter will be sent to you indicating the amount of Pell you are eligible to receive for the current school year and the amount you will receive each semester based on the number of credit hours in which you enroll. Award amounts are contingent on verification of course participation and attendance.
Financial aid eligibility will be determined by the number of credit hours a student is enrolled in as of the following dates:
Any credit hours added after these dates will not be considered in your financial aid eligibility.
Pell Grant proceeds are available approximately five weeks after the start date of each semester, with the exception of funding for late start courses. If your file is not complete until after the fourth week of class, you can expect your proceeds to take an additional two to three weeks to process.
Proceeds will be available via a HigherOne® debit card or ACH to a bank of the student's choice.
Student loans require repayment at a future date. In most cases, loans do not have to be repaid until six months after graduation. If you decide to discontinue your education before graduating, you will be required to start payments towards your student loan six months from your last date of halftime enrollment. Failure to repay your loan will result in future consequences such as garnishment of wages, withholding of state and federal income tax refunds and difficulties obtaining any future loans from any creditor. When a student borrows money through the Federal Direct Student Loan Program, information is provided by the college to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) and its authorized users such as guaranty agencies, lenders and educational institutions.
To obtain a student loan, you must complete a FAFSA. Then visit our Student Loan page for instructions and the loan packet.
The amount of funds you are eligible to receive will depend on the number of completed hours, dependency status, how much you have already borrowed and financial need. Students may not receive financial assistance above their determined cost of attendance.
A subsidized student loan is awarded on the basis of financial need as determined by your EFC (Expected Family Contribution) number found on your SAR. You will not be charged any interest before you begin repayment or during authorized periods of deferment. The federal government "subsidizes" the interest during these periods. Interest will begin accruing once your loan enters repayment.
An unsubsidized student loan is not awarded on the basis of need. You will be charged interest from the time the loan is disbursed until it is paid in full. If you allow the interest to accumulate, it will be capitalized – that is, the interest will be added to the principal amount of your loan and additional interest will be based upon the higher amount.
There is a 1% origination fee charged to each loan you request. The funds available for your educational use will be the loan amount requested minus the origination fee. When you enter repayment, the total loan amount you will repay will include this origination fee.
You may receive a subsidized loan and an unsubsidized loan for the same enrollment period depending on whether you are an independent student or dependent student, your cost of attendance and your current grade level. See chart below:
Listed below are the maximum annual loan amounts. Enrollment Services will determine the amount you're eligible to receive. It is recommended that you borrow only what is necessary.
|Completed Credit Hours
|0-27 credit hours
|28-96 credit hours
First year students may only receive up to $3,500 max in a subsidized loan. Second year students may only receive $4,500 max in a subsidized loan.
Listed below are aggregate loan limits (the maximum you can borrow as a undergraduate student).
All students receiving a student loan must be enrolled, attending and participating in a minimum of six credit hours per semester. Funds will not be disbursed if a student should show enrollment status at less than six hours at the time of disbursement. Students enrolled in late-start classes will receive funding later in the semester.
Financial aid eligibility will be determined by the number of credit hours a student is enrolled in as of the following dates:
Any credit hours added after these dates will not be considered in your financial aid eligibility.
Loans will be prorated for students enrolled in their last semester prior to graduation based on number of credit hours enrolled for that term.
|Loan Proration Chart
|Credit Hours Enrolled In
|Dependent 6500
|Independent 10500
Funds over and above tuition, fees and book charges will be sent to a HigherOne® debit card or via ACH to a bank of the student's choice. Students must be enrolled in, attending and participating in at least six credit hours on the date funds are disbursed.
NOTE: Funds will not be disbursed until valid attendance verification is submitted to the Enrollment Services Department.
Students who have a complete file before the posted deadline for a semester and are eligible to receive either a Pell Grant and/or student loan will be eligible to have their class schedule secured without having to prepay tuition and fees. In addition, bookstore credits will be available to you prior to the start of that term so that you may obtain your textbooks. The college will then deduct your tuition, fees and book charges upon receipt of funding from the Department of Education. Excess financial assistance funds are typically available during the fifth week of class.
The following criteria will be verified prior to issuing proceeds to the student:
|Minimum GPA Standards
|Cumulative Credit Hours Attempted
|Cumulative Grade Point Average
|31 or more
*Includes grades of A, B, C, D and F. Grades of I, P, R and W are not counted in cumulative GPA.
A minimum of 67% of courses attempted must be completed successfully.

1 year, 10 months ago from Chicago Tribune
Cullerton's comments come less than two months after the state approved a massive plan to deal with the $100 billion pension debt for state workers, university employees and teachers outside Chicago
From from Chicago Tribune:
With Chicago staring at a deadline for coming to grips with a $29 billion pension debt for teachers and public safety workers, Illinois Senate President John Cullerton is urging unions to help negotiate an agreement on retirement benefits lest lawmakers act on their own.
But Cullerton, in a Tuesday interview ahead of next week's new legislative session, also said that coming up with a deal on city police and firefighter pensions could be very complicated since fixes applied to other government worker pension systems wouldn't apply.
"The pensions for Chicago is a real major issue which we have to deal with because if we don't, we've got built in triggers that would require dramatic increases in contributions into those pension funds," the Northwest Side Democrat said. "It's a crisis if we don't do anything."
Cullerton and House Speaker Michael Madigan helped build in those city pension triggers by passing a 2010 law requiring increased payments for public safety pensions.
Cullerton's comments Tuesday come less than two months after state legislators and Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn approved a massive plan to deal with the state's $100 billion pension debt for state workers, university employees and teachers outside Chicago. Those changes involve curbing cost-of-living increases and increasing retirement ages for workers while also lessening employees' contributions to their retirement system. The law is being challenged in court by worker and retiree groups over its constitutionality.
Without quick changes in state law, Chicago Public Schools face a $612 million payment for teacher pensions for the budget year that ends June 30, about triple what they had been, Cullerton said. At the same time, payments for police and fire pensions will increase by nearly $600 million next year.
At one point last year, Cullerton proposed a measure to delay increased city payments to police and fire pensions until 2018. The plan also would push back the need for large-scale increases in city funding for those pensions until 2022, buying Mayor Rahm Emanuel even more time.
Cullerton said that proposal was designed to get people to the negotiating table and not to delay the day of reckoning.

What becomes of the doctrine of happiness being equally divided in this world, as so many comfortable persons love to opine?
A pretty large pile of building, I opine, and a pretty long job!
I opine that it is very disturbing to you, but no enlightened observer is jolly well upset.'
The reason is, I opine, that each doth wait for his neighbour to make a move.
"That I opine to be the most fitting course under the circumstances," said M'Kinlay, bowing.
"I opine that the granddaughter should be got rid of," said the Colonel.
I opine there's not one of us settin' around here that's not a hero—give him the occasion.
I opine that the same judgment might be passed upon a great many?
Thee will stare at my going, but no impropriety in my opine, or I should not have gone.
Not many will be prevented by previous engagements, I opine.
"express an opinion," mid-15c., from Middle French opiner (15c.) and directly from Latin opinari "have an opinion, be of opinion, suppose, conjecture, think, judge," perhaps related to optare "to desire, choose" (see option). Related: Opined; opining.

Romania is truly one of the last European frontier lands, a country whose heart is not in its cities, but in its magnificent countryside, small picturesque villages, and Old World traditions. The country offers something for every interest or taste – from ancient fortresses and monasteries to great food and wine.
Transylvania, with its fortified churches, is a testimony to the Saxon colonization in the Middle Ages. Saxon merchants arrived here in the 12th Century to help fortify and defend the eastern borders of the region, which at that time were controlled by the Hungarian Kingdom. The Saxons founded several settlements, among which are the present-day cities of Sighisoara, Brasov, Sibiu, and Cluj-Napoca, which all boast perfectly preserved architecture.
If you can imagine Old World Europe alive and well, you can imagine Maramures. When you travel through this region, you get to step back in time like nowhere else on the continent, as this is the last corner of Europe where plowing, planting, harvesting, and hay-making are still done by hand. Beyond the "living history" of Maramures, you will find beautiful rural scenery and wooden churches among original rural architecture.
The Southern Bucovina region is a rural paradise with painted churches that are among the greatest artistic monuments of Europe and also designated UNESCO World Heritage sites. Bucovina is also known for its religious art, folklore, and beautiful handicrafts, including embroidery, ceramics and carpet weaving.
If you have time to explore Maramures, you will not be disappointed. The famous wooden churches of the region (designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site), were built in the 18th Century and are unique in the world. The most characteristic feature of these churches is the soaring tower above the entrance and the massive roof that seems to dwarf the main body of the church.
All private travel is customized based on your specific interests, travel dates, included experiences, entrance fees and hotel choices. Sample pricing is listed in the back of our brochure, but the exact prices vary according to travel dates.

text: Share this news story The live set from Frak will be the Swedish group's first UK show. Manchester's meandyou. will play host to Ben UFO and Frak this month. Started in 2008, meandyou. have brought the likes of DJ Qu, Kassem Mosse and Conforce out to their monthly events at the Soup Kitchen. Its residents, Smallville signee Juniper and man of the moment Joy Orbison, exemplify their music policy, which leans toward the deeper end of house and techno but keeps things notably wide-open. Their party this month features a pair of hotly tipped guests in Ben UFO and Frak. The former is certainly no stranger to the UK scene, between his Hessle Audio label, his famously wide-ranging DJ sets (that have often included Frak tracks of late) and a forthcoming Fabriclive compilation. The latter, a Swedish group known for their countless albums on the Börft label and more recently a run of EPs on Kontra-Musik, will be making their UK debut at the party. As Joy O and Juniper are otherwise occupied, meandyou. co-founder Andrew Lyster will round out the night. Tickets to the party are available right here on RA.

Les Widder has found plenty of things to fill his spare time since he retired after spending 35 years as an educator in Ashland, Wayne and Coshocton counties.
Widder, who lives in Roscoe Village, serves as choir director at Roscoe United Methodist Church in Coshocton, and he restores pump organs as a hobby. Last year, he completed a book on his family history, "The Widder/Kinsey Homeplace Stories," which has already gone through two editions.
"It's something I'm so grateful I took the time to do it," Widder said.
His great-great-grandfather, Engelhardt Widder, a German immigrant, purchased the family farm in 1860. It is located on old Route 39, three miles east of Sugarcreek. Les' brother, Dan, is the fifth generation of the family to own the property.
Other family names mentioned in the book include Shaw, Fellers, Rinehart and Hogue.
The book includes tales about some of his colorful ancestors, such as his great-great-grandmother, Phoebe Froelich of Barrs Mills. "When you look at pictures of her, you knew you didn't want to mess with her," he said.
Froelich would spear fish in Sugar Creek with a manure fork. "She smoked a cigar to keep the mosquitoes away," Widder said.
He also has stories about his father, Doran, who died in 2012. Doran Widder was active in the Grange and served 35 years on the Tuscarawas County Fair Board.
Doran came from a family of five children and was the only one of his siblings to attend high school. He dropped out at age 16 during the Depression. "He went to one basketball game while he was in high school because his dad didn't have a quarter for a ticket," Widder said.
Doran Widder told his son about a day during the 1930s when the skies darkened to the west, and people thought a storm was headed their way. Instead, they found out that it was dust blowing in from a storm coming out of the Dust Bowl.
The book took a year to complete, Les Widder said. The research was a learning process, because he didn't know much of the information beforehand.
"Some things would be gone if I hadn't done the book," he said.
Widder has spent 20 years on his unusual hobby, restoring pump organs. "I've always been fascinated by mechanical things," he said.

This gallery contains images of unsafe sex practices, also known as barebacking. Engaging in sexual practices without the use of a condom is a risky and unnecessary behavior. There are a lot of studios including the one listed on this page that film bareback or have bareback scenes in their content libraries. The images presented below should only be used for fantasy and you should not deceive yourself into thinking that "everyone is doing it." Further, you should not assume that just because you see photos or film content of barebacking that sexually transmitted diseases have been miraculously cured. HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases are very real and potentially lethal. Please practice safe sex in your own life and educate yourself regarding the dangers of not wearing a condom before having sexual encounters. Visit AMFAR for more information about safer sex.

About Me
Having taught children in Taiwan, Korea and the United States, I have developed childcare skills that transcend language and culture. As a teacher for children of various ages, I emphasize the importance of communication between the parents, the student and myself, the caregiver. Gaining the trust of students and their parents is essential to providing the best possible education. In addition to teaching young learners, I foster the personal growth of each. I focus on lessons that instill a sense of respect, morality, self-confidence and love. Watching my students absorb and apply the ethical principles which I teach is one of the most rewarding experiences that I have ever had. In addition, I strive to understand the individual learning style of each child that I am entrusted with, so that I may accommodate that learning style in each lesson. I incorporate visual stimulation, activities, rhythm and games into each day's events.
During my last year working abroad, I was the head teacher for a kindergarten of over 80 Korean students. I was given the opportunity to train other international teachers and Korean staff on different teaching methodologies and classroom management strategies. I am confident that my experience as an international educator and childcare provider has given me the tools necessary to be a positive influence on your children's lives. I do not simply want to just be a caregiver / nanny for your family. I want to create a safe, fun, loving and educational environment where your your child can develop.
- I have professional childcare experience with…
Toddlers, Pre-school aged children, Elementary school aged children, Middle school aged children, Children with special needs, Multiples
- I will be SmartSitting while…
Attending Hunter College's Masters in TESOL program and continuing to study Mandarin Chinese to fluency.
- In 5 years, I hope to be…
A New York State certified ESL teacher, and on my way to opening my own bilingual kindergarten/preschool.
- Activities & skills I love to teach & share with children…
After studying in Taiwan for over a year, I am proficient in conversational Mandarin Chinese. I am a vegetarian, and love to cook organic and nutritious meals. While in Korea, I taught cooking classes to kindergarten students, and hope to continue that experience along with teaching Chinese. I am well versed in many cuisines including Indian, Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean, Thai, American and Italian. I am also very experienced in teaching performance arts to children. Leading children in song and dance is truly one of my passions.

This policy leads to mysterious scenarios, like when someone forgets the account that they used to create a blog, that they do own. And, it leads sometimes to tragic scenarios, like bloggers who don't have access to the back door email account, and can't prove blog ownership.
Even though Blogger allows us to pursue our anonymity, though, that doesn't guarantee absolute anonymity without effort.
There are things that we still need to do, to ensure that our name / identity isn't connected with a given blog.
The most obvious task would be to publish your blog(s) as private.
With the blog published privately, we then disable indexing of the blog(s). This won't be 100% effective.
- Not all search engine spiders will respect the "NoIndex, NoFollow" directives.
- Not all bloggers want their blogs to be private, even if they don't want a personal and permanent connection with the blogs.
- Private blogs are not completely hidden from public view.
- RSS feeds may contain information which we do not select for appearance in the visual blog copy.
So, look at additional techniques - but be aware of techniques that will have no effect.
First, remove the "About Me" gadget from the blogs. Either publish blogs without a native Blogger "About Me" gadget, or make up a custom one.
Second, remove the blogs from the "My Blogs" list in your Blogger profile, or don't share your profile at all. And setup a second owner for your blog, so your Blogger profile number isn't visible, in the blog header.
Third, and not the least of your concerns, is what blogs interest you? Be careful how you Follow blogs - both your own, and those published by other people. Visibility of other blogs in your profile, as well as your visibility in various Following communities, may tell a lot about you.
Be aware of what profiles you use, as a Follower. For maximum anonymity, don't Follow at all - just subscribe to the blogs that interest you, using the newsfeed reader of your choice.
If you're truly paranoid, you could transfer control of the blogs, to a secondary account that you own. If you do this, it would be wise to use a non GMail account, so you can avoid a Google cookie clash caused by trying to use two Google accounts simultaneously. And please, if you want to retain control of your blogs, use a valid non GMail email address, and keep control of the email address.
And you can always Follow other blogs using a different identity.
Finally, check behind yourself, carefully. Comb the contents of your blogs, and make sure that you don't inadvertently reveal any personal details. This may be an ongoing concern, as you publish any blog, anonymously or not.
Protect yourself. These are things that you have to do, for yourself. But at the same time, remember that anonymity, when achieved, may have a price.
Successful anonymity can mean problems identifying yourself - when you travel, or when you change computers, or especially when you forget your account name or password. Consider setting up Google 2-Step Verification, if you want long term public anonymity - and want to continue publishing a blog.
(Update July 2001):To let us selectively share information about ourselves with some people (as we choose), Blogger / Google is giving us Google+, which lets us replace boring unshared static information with exciting selectively shared dynamic information.

It's no secret telemedicine has had a profound impact on the industry, both nationally and globally. Organizations in big and small cities are seeing the benefits of employing such technology, and the biggest impression could arguably be on those living in rural communities.
"Some of our most important citizens live in rural, small cities, the countryside, or remote areas, and these areas have smaller populations and less-direct access to vital healthcare resources," said Shahid Shah, software analyst and author of the blog Healthcare IT Guy. "In the past 15 years or so, we've made some great strides in remotely accessible healthcare; these offerings, called telemedical tools, provide important clinical care at a distance."
And the number of telemedical tools available is growing, increasing quality of care and decreasing delivery times. Shah gives us the five ways telemedicine is currently boosting care in rural communities.
1. Web meetings and online video tools bring expert caregivers anywhere. Programs like WebEx, GotoMeeting, Adobe Connect, and Skype are "wonderful tools to connect caregivers in populated communities to their rural patients," said Shah. "A simple $30 to $50 per month account on the physician side, with almost no direct cost for the patient, is an excellent way to engage with patients." Shah added these types of web meetings can happen securely, whether they take place at the patient's home, or patients are brought into satellite offices with high-quality telepresence. "Then, instead of waiting for days or weeks for a health professional to travel to an area, or patients having to take time off traveling to big cities, care can be given almost immediately with less inconvenience," said Shah.
2. Telemedical devices for remote monitoring of in-home care improve clinical observations. "Although web meetings are great for basic primary care, they're not perfect for elder care, long-term care, and other types of clinical requirements," said Shah. Instead, he suggests a new class of devices that put hospital-quality patient monitoring devices into patient homes. These devices then "beam" data to monitoring centers, which screen patients in different geographical areas. "Toss in a nurse or other caregiver that can visit once a week or once a month to calibrate the devices, and you can see how much more convenience patients have," said Shah. "And their physicians, wherever they may be, have immediate access to their actual vitals and clinical status."

WG Rubyist: What does YARV bring to Ruby 1.9, future of Ruby, more...

Apart from speed, what does the YARV implementation bring to Ruby 1.9? I've read that Rails ActiveRecord is slower (right now) and that there might be some changes to the threading model. Do you think that any of the features of Ruby 1.9 will translate directly into core features in Rails?
I feel very fortunate to have found Ruby, and have a newfound appreciation for programming due to the language. Where do you see Ruby going post 1.9? Do you see Ruby becoming mainstream-enough to get serious consideration from conservative organizations?
Finally, if you could either add one feature or enhance an existing aspect of Ruby, what would that be?
Thanks again for stopping by the 'ranch!

Hi Michael --
My impression has always been that the main point of YARV is the gain in speed. It's definitely had an impact in at least some other areas -- for instance, ParseTree doesn't work in 1.9.1, which I know is a big issue for people who have been doing stuff that involves AST manipulation. (I don't follow that very closely but it sounds like there's progress toward coming up with a new approach that will work.)
Koichi is definitely still at work on the threading model. There's an interesting
interview with Koichi
on threading and GC.
I'm not sure I understand your question about 1.9 and Rails. Do you mean will Rails start taking advantage of 1.9-only features? If so, I think it will, though as far as I know Rails 3.0 will still run on 1.8 (but I could be wrong about that).
Good question about the future of Ruby. I have no answer, though :-) I think the adoption of Ruby will increase, though there will always be organizations that simply don't look at open-source alternatives at all. It also depends on where in the organization. I've always felt, for example, that Rails is really great for intra-organizational applications, and in many cases it's a lot easier to have wide latitude of tool choice for those than for the public-facing ones.
Ruby after 1.9... well, we haven't heard as much about 2.0 in the recent past as we used to, but I believe in part that's because 1.9 is probably fairly close to what 2.0 will be. At least, as far as I know, 2.0 will use YARV and so forth. I suspect that the 1.8.6 to 1.9.1 transition will be looked back on as by far the most major change in the history of Ruby up to that point.
If I could add a feature to Ruby, it would be to restore some behavior that enumerators had for a little while and then lost. At some point during 1.9.0 development, you could do this:
array = [1,2,3]
enum = array.enum_for(:map, &lambda {|x| x * 10 })
enum.next # 10
enum.next # 20
enum.next # 30
In other words, the enumerator carried inside itself not only the hookup with the object (array) and the method (map), but also a block. That is no longer the case. I exchanged some email with Shugo on ruby-core about it, and I gather it's a performance issue. I think it's really too bad, and frankly it makes enumerators a lot less interesting to me.
An enhancement to the language I would like to see is the removal of class variables. But I don't think I'm going to win that one :-) I'd also like to see :: removed as a method-calling operator (a dot synonym). I keep seeing things like:
and I have no idea what the appeal is of it. The dot does the job just fine.
For a long time I've wanted:
class Object
def singleton_class
class << self; self; end
so then you could do:
some_object.singleton_class.class_eval ...
but I know Matz has been reluctant to add this, partly because of all the disagreement about what singleton classes should be called, and partly because he's not convinced (as I recall) that being able to grab hold of a singleton class is that important or common. Judging by how many times people end up writing that method, though, I think it would be good to have it.
I'm very glad to hear that you're enjoying Ruby and that it's rekindling your interest in programming!
Ruby training coming up in September! David A. Black and Erik Kastner team up for fast-paced, four-day Ruby intro, in New Jersey, September 14-17. See

I agree about the :: notation, which never has felt as comfortable as dot notation. I wonder if YARV, written in C, will mean anything (aka slowdown) in the implementation of the other interpreters (JRuby, Rubinious, IronRuby). In some ways, it's interesting that the fastest Ruby interpreters are still C based.
Rails 3 on Ruby 1.8.x... that would be a surprise, but given that so much work has already gone into R3, I guess it's unavoidable. One advantage to this (that I can see) is that Rails 3 will be ported to both 1.8 and 1.9... good news for developers and hosts.
Thanks for your comments!
I agree. Here's the link:

Birds of a feather don't always stay togethersometimes they "cheat" on their partners. But scientists believe this adulterous behavior could give their offspring a genetic advantage.
Towson University biology professors Scott Johnson and Brian Masters have a three-year $241,777 grant from the National Science Foundation to find out if baby house wrens born to adulterous females end up with "better genes" that produce a stronger immune system. Additional funds were obtained from NSF to engage undergraduate students in the research.
The TU professors are working with three researchers at Illinois State University to sample the DNA of baby wrens in more than 600 nests to identify those offspring that females produced through the avian equivalent of "extra-marital" liaisons. They will then compare these offspring to offspring that were fathered by the female's social partner. The study is called "Extra-Pair Mating in BirdsTrading Up Genetically to Enhance Offspring Health?" The work is slated for completion in July 2006.
Like humans, male and female wrens form pairbonds, bird "marriages" of a sort, to reproduce and care for their young. And like humans, wrens sometimes mate outside of the "marriage." In birds, this is called "extra-pair mating" rather than adultery. While the benefits of extra-pair mating are clear for males it is a fast and easy way to increase their numbers of offspring -- the advantages to females are less obvious.
One theory is that females engage in this behavior to improve the quality of the young they produce. Masters and Johnson believe that the female wrens seek matings with extra-pair males who offer genetic traits not available in their own mates. They call it the "tall, dark stranger effect." And they speculate that females may select extra-pair mates in such a way as to increase the likelihood their offspring will have stronger immune systems, and be more resistant to diseases.

This is a complicated argument which most people can't see both sides of (partly because of Nintendo's secrecy).
Nintendo are totally amazing in their support and belief in indie development. The tools are brilliant to use and the hardware is not too complex to understand. Devkits are really good value for money and tech support from Nintendo is top dollar.
The marketing of Wiiware is non-existent and the shopping experience is terrible. The lack of proper card transactions and the ability to transfer points from Wiiware to DSiware is embarrassing.
All game development market places follow the oldest law of business which is that supply will match demand. On iPhone there are 400,000 apps because lots of people want to buy apps and it is easy to do. On Nintendo's European service there was not a single Wiiware release this week. You do not need sales figures, good games or bad games to tell you what this means about European Wiiware sales.
Are Nintendo at fault? Yes kind of but actually Apple doesn't publish sales figures for individual titles. Developers should be allowed to share info and to be honest Nintendo are probably ashamed of the sales figures.
Is it all bad? Things might be getting better Nintendo have just brought all demos back online in the US. This for us at least tips the balance and we will be releasing more games for sure (but only in the US). I have this kind of idealistic hope that Wii will live on in its sunset years as more of a digital platform. I guess this was the last Christmas of 1st party Wii disc titles.

This is Anne my wife, looking forward to her lunch in the biergarten. We can highly recommend the Potatoe, Veg & Sausage Soup. Sat overlooking the water watching the boats with our guide and group. Best tasting lunch ever or may be it was just because we had worked up a healthy appetitie riding our bikes - happy days!
