The question inherent in all of these challenges to the original story and original cast is this: How could anything like the resurrection be true? The question is not asked with the intention of getting an answer. It is rhetorical, hostile and unbelieving.
So, how does one know it is true? First, not a single witness of that first Easter morning subsequently denied what he (or she) observed. Human nature tells us that when those who publicly stated Jesus rose from the grave were threatened with death unless they recanted, at least one, and probably more, would have said it never happened, if it didn't occur. They would have wanted to live. Not one recanted. All of the Apostles died martyrs deaths, except John, who died in exile.
The second reason is also logical. What kind of loving father would direct his lost children through a bad neighborhood, if he wanted them to get home safely? If no human father would be so cruel, why would God, after giving up His Son to die for humanity, create a flawed road map so they would get lost in their search for Him?
Christians who believe the Bible's account of Easter believe it because they also believe God's spirit guarded human hands from making errors in recording these events. Skeptics have no such guide. They should be humbled that God is far wiser than the wisest man. (1 Corinthians 1:25-27)
Before accepting what heretics and unbelievers say, consideration should be given to what is contained in the guidebook.

Police warn of phone scamJuly 19,2013Police warn of phone scam
BRATTLEBORO The Brattleboro Police Department is warning about a telephone scam targeting seniors.
Police said a resident reported being contacted and asked to make an appointment to have a medical system installed.
When the person said no such system had been purchased, the caller said the device was on order and must have been bought by a loved one or someone concerned about the persons safety.
Police say the caller continued to ask for an installation date and other information.
Authorities are warning residents to be cautious of telephone calls from people they dont know. They say the callers are often trying to make money or get personal or banking information.MORE IN This Just InThe Associated Press Full StoryThe Associated Press Full StoryVERNON A federal appeals court has told the Shumlin administration that its challenge of a...

time consuming and fussy My husband and I are experienced food vacuumers and looked forward to our new machine. It proved to be a disappointment. It took many attempts to get a good seal on our blanched and dried carrot crop. After almost individually drying each piece and putting in a paper towel we got a kind of exceptable vacuum and it did finally seal....after my husband tried the canister mode on the bag. It took hours and we were not yet done with the carrots but I was done with the machine. We never had to baby our past machines in such a way. Also the addition of the towel eliminates cooking in the bag. We returned the machine and do hope to see our refund. September 10, 2014
Use It Virtually Every Day Bought a Gamesaver to replace my original Foodsaver that died after over 10 years of continuous use. Same style except it doesn't have the "progression" buttons that tell you what stage of vacuuming it is in....which made no difference. Quiet, fast and so easy to use. Blade doesn't seem quite as sharp as my original though. I use it for storing batches of chili, sealing cheese, resealing chips - you name it. It has saved me hundreds of dollars over the years keeping things fresh. No ice crystals like a normal strip seal bag in the freezer. Just thinking that this would be the perfect wedding gift. Frozen goods would probably last longer than the marriage............ July 6, 2014
This product has great features It took a few minutes and some assistance from my husband to figure out how to work the controls as it is different than my old Foodsaver. I am very happy with it so far. I especially like the wet-dry feature. The only thing I would say wasn't an improvement over my old one is where the location of the cutter is. It is very good for making a bag, however, with my old one--after I sealed a package I could slide the cutter and cut the excess bag material off, thus saving freezer space and making a neater package. With this one I have to reposition my package, or use another means to cut off the excess. October 19, 2014
Is exactly what I needed Not only is it easy to use/clean/store, it has simplified my life by allowing me to prepare diet specific meals for a family member, that meet requirements and are good and fresh! I got a package of the bags with the paper strip across the top, to catch juice and I am having great success with them. Hope you make them in other sizes besides the quart. Thank you! If you follow the directions that come with the Food Saver, you will have success with it. I especially like the removable drip tray, so that it can be cleaned. My sister has a Food Saver, and she recommended it. So glad she did! July 31, 2013
great as usual!! this will be my third food saver and all have given me excellent service! My last foodsaver lasted 15 years and would've still been going if the heat seal strip hadn't started to burn out. I like this newer model with the roll holder and bag cutter all built in, and I especially like the separate canister button which saves on the heat sealer. Plus it still fits in my kitchen drawer where I stored all previous foodsavers! The free shipping offered on the website is especially great since I live in Hawaii! I got my order within days by priority mail, now how much better can that get!? January 2, 2013
keep food fresh, seals all kinds of items We were in Alaska, fishing for salmon and halibut. Food Saver was a blessing, we processed our fish, vacuum sealed them and now are enjoying fresh cook salmon and halibut. These little units work great. Once a week my wife and I process vegetables and vacuum seal them for meals the next week, they are always fresh and tasty. . . . We even took the advice of other reviewers and started sealing our travel items, shampoos, toothpaste, etc. . .what a good idea. . . . Thanks to the folks who work at Food Saver for making a good quality product, you all deserve a pat on the back. jim September 19, 2012
Best Kitchen Investment Just purchased our second Food Saver. The first the sealing elements retired. Given the bazillion times we used it, I would have bitten the dust too. In its ten years plus use, we have not lost "any" food, no matter how small the portion. Even with the investment in the heat-seal rolls, the amount of food savings is more than offset. They are reusable too. The Mason jar sealer is a gem as well. Great for short term storage as well. If you have the patience and frugal as we are, this is the product for you. I don't often write a review, but this is product is the exception. December 6, 2015
Great product! In November 2012 I purchased the GameSaver Deluxe Plus and it has been one of the best investments I have made. We purchase black angus beef, chicken, pork and other specialties at a market about 60 miles away (none close here) . The first thing we get home is seal our meats/cheeses/etc. It takes a good hour (only we buy so much) and that GameSaver is a real trooper! It is now all most March and the meats are still sealed and ready to go. I recently used with my newly purchased marinator and I can only say WOW!! The meat not only had a great flavor but it was tender too!! Lastly, customer service was absolutely great. I had some questions prior to the purchase and they answered all of my questions and then some. February 27, 2013

BBWAA writers should relinquish throne as HOF's moral gatekeepers

Some voters hid behind the so-called character clause for years in declining to vote for Bonds, Clemens, Mike Piazza or others linked to performance-enhancing drugs, and are now reversing course without truly acknowledging a complete flip-flop or any previous mistake they've made.

Holway: JOSH GIBSON, WORLD'S GREATEST HITTER
If Josh Gibson had played in the American league, Babe Ruth's home run record might not have lasted a dozen years. In 1939 against top Negro League teams, Josh smashed 23 in only 117 at bats. That's 98 per 550! Babe's record was 60 in 540 AB. Josh's target was 408 feet down the line in Washington; Babe's was 296 feet in New York….
In 1943 Gibson slammed ten balls into the distant Washington bleachers in 40 games. The entire American League, which shared the park, hit only one out ...Read More...

Police: Clerk bitten in N.J. adult bookstore robbery
HADDON TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Police in New Jersey are trying to find a man accused of biting a clerk at an adult book store during a robbery.
Haddon Township Police Chief Mark Cavallo tells KYW Newsradio (http://cbsloc.al/15Qz6M3 ) that the suspect was in Edward's News Agency around 3 a.m. Thursday.
He says the man asked the clerk for change for a $50 bill, then bought some bottles of water before jumping over the counter, biting the worker twice in the arm, taking money and leaving.
Police say he made off with about $48.
The clerk was not seriously hurt.

At least 16 insurgent fighters were also killed in the three separate attacks and the ensuing gunbattles in Marjah district, according to local police chief Toryalai Zarak.
"We have captured a number of them with their weapons," Zarak said. "From our side, only one policeman was killed and three others were slightly wounded."
Taliban militants have been intensifying attacks on Afghan security forces seeking to destabilize the country ahead of a key presidential election in April and the pullout of most foreign coalition forces at the end of the year.
Afghanistan's 350,000-strong police and army have taken over almost all security responsibilities in Afghanistan and have suffered hundreds of casualties every month in battles, assassinations and bombings.

First Lady drags daughters into obesity campaign
Hey, whatever happened to leaving the Obama girls alone?
Charm City Moms: A blog for Maryland parents by The Baltimore Sun's Kate Shatzkin
The Obama children and child obesity
President Barack Obama is in Baltimore today, but it's his wife's last pronouncement on her campaign against childhood obesity that's caught my attention. As the president did several months ago in an education speech, First Lady Michelle Obama has taken a personal tack — divulging some private information about her children — to drive home her point about early intervention in kids' health.
In remarks at a YMCA in Virginia, Obama said her daughters' pediatrician warned her — some time ago, apparently — that the girls were getting "off track" in terms of body-mass index…
…The personal aspect brings the story home and helps us remember how important the message is.
On the other hand, I do wonder about the kids' privacy factor here, and how disclosures like these could open the door to unwanted scrutiny for the first daughters…

Recent reports of incidents near Blithedale Summit Open Space Preserve
San Rafael, CA – Visitors to the Blithedale Summit Open Space Preserve above Mill Valley and Corte Madera are cautioned to be watchful for a non-uniformed man misrepresenting himself as a Marin County Open Space District ranger.
Two incidents have been reported on or near Blithedale Summit Fire Road within the past month. The man is alleged to have provided incorrect information to visitors walking dogs regarding the Open Space District's rules pertaining to dogs. In one incident, he is alleged to have kicked a dog and taken photographs of the visitors, both women, with his cell phone.
The man is described as white, in his 40s, 5-foot-10 to 6 feet tall, with short salt-and-pepper hair, and very fit. He said his name was Dave Stevenson and that he worked for "the department." At the time of the incidents, he was wearing black and silver bicycling clothing and possessed a black mountain bike.
The man is not employed by or associated with Marin County Parks or the Marin County Open Space District. While on duty in open space preserves, rangers are always in uniform.
Marin County Parks is investigating the incidents. Others who may have interacted with a man matching that description, or who may have witnessed similar interactions, are urged to contact Marin County Parks at 415-473-2816."

If you love the look that wood moulding can do to enhance the architecture and décor in your home but have hesitated to add it because you thought it was beyond your level of skill – I want you to think again.
There are many options on the market today for homeowners with or without the proper carpentry skills and tools.
I am going to show you how I made a frame for my bathroom mirror using a miter saw, but don't fret because at the end of the post I am going to show you how EASY it is to do without a miter saw, too.
Here is my bathroom mirror before: Just a plain mirror, actually two placed together. It lacks any style, but I am going to change that. The mirrors were originally hung with Mirror Mastic – which is a glue that won't bleed through to the mirrored finish.
Supplies Needed:
- Mdf(primed) Baseboard Moulding with Cap 19/32" x 5-1/4"
- Miter Saw
- Paint
- Paint Brush
- Caulk
- Liquid Nails and Caulk Gun
- Pencil
- Measuring tape
1. I went to Lowe's with my mirrors measurements. I needed 3 pieces of primed Base with Cap moulding that I found in the moulding aisle.
The actual moulding I used.
2. I first had to measure the mirror and wall and cut 4 pieces of moulding to fit using a miter saw. I set the miter saw on a 45 degree angle. Since my mirror is a big rectangle I needed 2- long pieces – top and bottom and 2 -shorter pieces for the left and right side of the mirror.
3. Once your moulding is cut, you need to paint the back of the molding near the top edge so the unfinished back won't be reflected in the mirror when the moulding is installed.
4. Once that is dry, flip to the right side and paint one or two coats on all of your pieces. I used Sherwin Williams paint in Alabaster.
5. To frame the mirror: Starting with the bottom piece, apply Liquid Nails to the back. I had the counter top backsplash to automatically level the piece. If you don't have this – use a bubble level and mark with tape or a pencil where to place the moulding to make sure it is level. Liquid Nails dries quickly and you don't have much time from the time you apply it to get it in place on the wall.
6. Once the bottom piece is level and securely on the wall – add the side pieces in the same way and then the top piece last.
7. If your mitered joints don't match perfectly – caulk will be your best friend and make you look like a professional carpenter. I like to use Dap Alex Plus Easy Caulk. The only place I can find it anymore is at Wal-Mart. It is the best caulk as you don't need a caulk gun and the container makes it so easy to use – no mess.
8. When you cut the nozzle on the tip of the caulk container- cut it on an angle and then just run the tip along the joint. Pretend it is a can of whipped crème and you have to add it to the joint. After the caulk is in the joint, run a wet finger over the line to smooth. If needed you can touch the area up with paint after caulk is dry.
Joint After
Now if you like the way the moulding transformed the look of the mirror, but are thinking that you don't have a miter saw or the skills to do this yourself – READ ON about how easy No-Miter Moulding is to work with.
Lowe's and Home Depot both sell No-Miter Moulding. It is so easy to use and a bit more decorative then the plain molding I used to frame my mirror. It eliminates difficult miter cuts, waste, and carpentry skills. It is a DIY'ers dream.
It comes unfinished
And primed – I like using the primed – one less step for me to complete.
It goes together like this- a block at each corner with baseboard or trim moulding on top, bottom, and sides of mirror.
All you have to do is measure your mirror – width and height and take those measurements to the home improvement center. Pick your block and subtract the size of each block from the size from your mirror measurements. Example: Say your mirror is 64-inches long and you chose a 4- inch square block for the corners. Subtract 4 –inches x 2 to get the length of the board that will go between them. It would be 56- inches)
Have your baseboard/trim moulding cut to that size. Now when you get home, all the pieces – 4 blocks and 4 pieces of baseboard/trim just have to be nailed up to the wall using Liquid Nails. EASY!
Home Improvement stores will make straight cuts on wood for you – some may charge you 50 cents a cut, but most will do it for you for free.
Once you are successful and see how easy it is to frame out a mirror, you will be looking at every room of your home to see where you can apply your new skills. The hardest part of using No-Miter Moulding will be deciding what decorative pieces and corner blocks to use.

Ask a Tradesman
Questionwhich first wood work or emultion paint
when painting a room what should you i do first emulsion the walls or gloss the wood work. thanks in advance
10 Answers
Best Answer
Hi there
The best way to do this is emulsion the ceiling and Walls first(cover all the big areas first) you usely need to have 2 coats. Then finish with your gloss by cutting it into the emulsion.
Sorry should have told you to make sure all the areas are free from dust, above doors and along skirtings. Hope this helps.
dj property trades 4th Sep, 2011
emulsion first ensuring that you go slightly over onto the woodwork so when you cut the woodwork in you will have a neat line.
Frank Baxter Decorating 4th Sep, 2011
Start at the top
Fully paint the ceiling lapping the white down the wall 2 inches
once dry emulsion all of the walls lapping the paint over the skirting and architraves
next stage undercoat and gloss ww
House Doctors 4th Sep, 2011
Very strange so many tradesmen have different answers! in over 30 years decorating i have never painted woodwork before ceilings, walls except when papering!!!! maybe when doing my apprenticship i was taught incorrectly. By doing the wood first you cant caulk any gaps properly between walls and wood, also it saves time and by doing ceiling and walls first you can get a good finish without the need of rubbing walls down over new glossed wood as the paint has not cured correctly(that means dried properly) hope this explains the correct way of painting
Andrew Quality Decorating 5th Sep, 2011
Hello KitKat,
We would recommend preparing and undercoating all woodwork first. Then preparing and Emulsioning ceilings and walls. Then finally Glossing all woodwork last.
Hope this helps and good luck.
Bizz-Ness Property Maintenance 4th Sep, 2011
Always start at the top and work down so ceiling first, then walls, then doorframe/door, then skirting last.
Millington Decorating and Tiling 4th Sep, 2011
ceilings, walls, woodwork...
Rebel Carpenter 4th Sep, 2011
emulsion the walls
TopJob Home Improvements 4th Sep, 2011
hi, personally i would emulsion walls /cielings etc as you get a slight splash from the rollers used to cover the areas, after all the emulsion carried out and all cut in nicely, you can therfore apply the undercoat/gloss etc to the wood work ensuring a nice neat edge to the skirts,dado, etc
onsite 5th Sep, 2011
Personally i always 1st coat walls undercoat the wood , then any filling on walls any caulking up on the wood , final coat the walls then do the glossing but i know fellow painters who do woodwork first then emulsion and have a damp cloth to wipe the wood when finished or mask the wood up

Madame de Pompadour's famous quip, 'Apr_s nous, le deluge, ' serves as fitting inspiration for this lively discussion of postwar French intellectual and cultural life. Over the past thirty years, North American and European scholarship has been significantly transformed by the absorption of poststructuralist and postmodernist theories from French thinkers. But Julian Bourg's seamlessly edited volume proves that, historically speaking, French intellecutal and cultural life since World War Two has involved much more than a few infamous figures and concepts. Motivated by a desire to narrate and contextualize the deluge of 'French theory, ' After the Deluge showcases recent work by today's brightest scholars of French intellectual history that historicizes key debates, figures, and turning points in the postwar era of French thought. Relying on primary and archival sources, contributors examine, among other themes: left-wing critiques of the Left, the internationalizing of thought, the institutional and affective conditions of cultural life, and the religious imagination. They revive neglected debates and figures, and they explore the larger impact of political quarrels. In an afterword, preeminent French historian Fran_ois Dosse heralds the arrival of a new generation, a historiographical sensibility that brings fresh, original perspectives and a passion for French history to the contemporary French intellectual arena. After the Deluge adds significant depth and breadth to our understanding of postwar French intellectual and cultural history.

About the album
An ECM debut from Masabumi Kikuchi and a last session from the great Paul Motian. Motian and Kikuchi were friends for many years and Paul understood the idiosyncrasies and the wayward charm of the Japanese pianist's highly personal style perhaps better than anyone. The trio - completed by Zen bassist Thomas Morgan - makes new art out of the interactive free rubato ballad. A strangely beautiful album.

AL-ASAD AIR BASE, Iraq — President Bush made a surprise visit to Iraq on Monday, using the war zone as a backdrop to argue his case that the buildup of U.S. troops is helping stabilizing the nation.
The president secretly flew 11 hours to Iraq as a showdown nears with Congress over whether his decision in January to order 30,000 more U.S. troops to Iraq is working. He landed at an air base in Anbar province west of Baghdad.
The United States cannot sustain the troop buildup indefinitely. And with Democrats calling for withdrawals and a rising U.S. death toll that has topped 3,700, the president is hardpressed to give Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's much more time to find a political solution to the fighting.

Why do all presidents and vice-presidents and all important people always visit Iraq with a SURPRISE visit? Well it is pretty simple - the country is so dangerous, that an announced visit would be almost suicidal. And when the president can make such an announced visit to a country, which is "Liberated" and "Free" - well then this action would mean something. Until then, it is just another, out of many, SURPRISE visits.

Liferay provides a rich store of resources and knowledge to help our community better use and work with our technology.
The word Blog is an apostrophe-less contraction of the two words web log. Blogs were first popularized by web sites such as Slashdot (http://slashdot.org) which have the format of a running list of entries to which users could attach comments. Over time, more and more sites such as Digg, del.icio.us, and Newsvine adopted the format, empowering users to share their opinions and generating lively discussions.
Over the course of time, blogging sites and applications began to appear, such as blogger.com, blogspot.com. TypePad, WordPress, and Web Roller. These applications allow individuals to run their own web sites in the same format: a running list of short articles to which readers who are registered with the site can attach threaded comments. People who run a blog are called bloggers, and sometimes they build a whole community of readers who are interested in their blog posts. Additionally, there are several famous people who run their own blogs. It gives people an outlet for self-expression which they would not otherwise have, and the ubiquity and wide reach of the Internet ensures that if you have something important and interesting to say, somebody will read it.
Illustration 73: Slashdot, one of the first blogs on the Internet Liferay Portal has a portlet called the Blogs portlet which allows you to provide a blogging service to users of your web site. In fact, Liferay extensively uses the Blogs portlet on http://www.liferay.com to provide employees with blogs of their own. In addition to the Blogs portlet, there is also a Blogs Aggregator portlet which can take entries from multiple users' blogs and put them all in one larger list. We will go over how to use both of these portlets to create a blogging site for your users.
The Blogs Portlet
Illustration 74: Initial view of the Blogs portlet The Blogs portlet is available from the Collaboration section of the Add → More menu. You will notice that it is an Instanceable portlet, meaning that it can only be added once to any community or organization. This allows you to use the Blogs portlet to create a shared blog to build a site like Slashdot or to create multiple personal blogs to build a site like http://blogger.com. What's the difference? Adding the Blogs portlet to a Community or Organization page creates a shared blog for members of the Community or Organization. Adding the Blogs portlet to a user's personal space creates a blog for just that user. Either way, the Blogs portlet works the same. And of course, you can change the Blog portlet's scope to have different blogs on different pages in the same community.
By default, the Blogs portlet will display the latest entry in its entirety. Since we have just added the portlet to a page, we have no entries, so the portlet will be empty. Before we start adding entries, we'll configure the portlet so that it displays entries according to our specifications.
Configuring the Blogs Portlet
The Blogs portlet is easy to configure. Click on the Menu icon in the portlet's title bar and select Configuration. Beneath the Setup tab, you will see another row of options.
Email From: Selecting the Email From tab allows you to define the From: field in the email messages that users receive from the Blogs portlet.
Entry Added Email: This option allows you to enter a subject and body of the emails sent out when a new Blog entry has been added.
Entry Updated Email: This option allows you to enter a subject and body of the emails sent out when a new Blog entry has been updated.
Display Settings: Here, you can configure the various display options for the Blogs portlet.
Illustration 75: Blogs ConfigurationThe Display Settings tab lets you configure the formatting of the Blogs portlet. You can choose the most optimal ways to display your entries as well as configure how you want your users to interact with you as you post those entries.
Maximum Items to Display: This allows you to choose the total number of blog entries to display on the initial page. You can choose up to 100 to be displayed.
Display Style: Choose between Full Content, the Abstract, or just the Title. Setting this to Abstract causes Liferay to display only the first 30 words of your blog entries, with a Read More link at the bottom of each to allow users to read the whole entry if they wish.
Enable Flags: Allow users to flag content as inappropriate and send an email to the administrators.
Enable Ratings: Allows you to enable your users to rate your blog entries from one to five stars.
Enable Comments: Allows readers to comment on your blog entries.
Enable Comment Ratings: Allows readers to rate the comments which are posted to your blog entries.
Click on the RSS tab to configure the way in which blogs will display to RSS readers. Here, you can choose how you want your blog entries to be published to feed readers and outside web sites.
Maximum Items to Display: Allows you to determine how many blog entries will be displayed at once. The default is set to twenty.
Display Style: You can select to display the full content, abstracts, or title of your blogs.
Format: You can choose which format you want to deliver your blogs: RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, or Atom 1.0.
Depending on whether this is a personal blog or a shared blog, you may want to modify the permissions on the blog. By default, the permissions are set up for a personal blog, so only the owner of the community to which the portlet has been added will be able to add entries. If you want to share a blog with multiple users, it is easy to do.
First, create a role for your bloggers and add them to the role. Next, click the Permissions button on the Blogs portlet. You will now see a list of both portal and Community / Organization roles, and currently only the owner is checked. Check off any other role or team that should have the ability to add blog entries, and then click Save.
Adding Blog Entries
Now you're ready to begin adding blog entries. Click the Add Blog Entry button. You will see the following data entry screen:
Illustration 76: Adding a Blog entryThere isn't much difference between this screen and any other data entry screen within Liferay Portal. You get a title, a way of scheduling when the entry is to appear, and a rich editor that allows you to format your entry the way you want, complete with embedded images, videos, and the like.
Note also that as you type, the entry is automatically saved as a draft at periodic intervals. This gives you peace of mind in using the portlet from within your browser, since you won't lose your entry in the event of a browser crash or network interruption. You can also tag your entries using the same tagging mechanism found everywhere else in the portal.
The Blogs portlet also supports trackbacks and pingbacks. Trackbacks are special links that let you or another site know if you or if someone else linked to a blog entry. For example, if you wanted to write an entry in your blog and reference someone else's entry, you might put the URL to the other entry in the Trackbacks to Send field. Similarly, if you want others who link to your blog to let you know about the link via trackbacks, leave the Allow Trackbacks box checked. This will generate a URL that is displayed with your blog entry. Others who want to link to your entry can use this URL for the link, and every time the link is clicked on, your Liferay-powered site will know about it and will be able to keep track of the clicks.
Note that trackbacks only work when the protocol is supported by both the linker and the linkee. For this reason, the Blogs portlet also supports pingbacks. Pingbacks are XML-RPC requests that are similar to trackbacks except they are automatically sent when you link to another site. So if you link to another site in your blog entry, Liferay will send a pingback to that site to notify that site that you linked to it. Similarly, if someone links to your blog entry, Liferay can receive a pingback from that person's site and record the link.
Once you have finished your blog entry, click Publish. You'll go back to the list of entries, and now your entry is displayed. Here is what it looks like when the display style is set to Abstract and the number of entries is set to 10:
Illustration 77: First blog entry added You can see that in the summary view, you don't see the trackback / pingback link, and you only see the number of comments which have been added. If you were to click the Read More link, you would see the entirety of the article, all of the comments in a threaded view, and the trackback / pingback link which others can use to link back to your blog entry.
Additionally, the full view of a blog contains convenient links to add blog entries to popular aggregating sites such as Digg, del.icio.us, and others. This gives your readers an easy way to submit your blog entries to these aggregators, potentially driving further traffic to your site.
As you can see, the Blogs portlet is a full-featured blogging application which gives you and your users the ability to enter the blogosphere with an application that supports anything a blogger needs.
Aggregating Blog Entries
You can set up a whole web site devoted just to blogging if you wish. The Blogs Aggregator portlet allows you to publish entries from multiple bloggers on one page, giving further visibility to blog entries. This portlet is also very easy and straightforward to set up. You can add it to a page from the Collaboration category in the Add → More menu in the dock.
If you click Configuration from the menu button in the title bar of the portlet, you will see the Blogs Aggregator's configuration page. From here, you can set several configuration options.
Illustration 78: Blogs Aggregator ConfigurationSelection Method: You can select Users or Scope here. If you select Users, the Blogs Aggregator will aggregate the entries of every blogger on your system. If you want to refine the aggregation, you can select an Organization by which to filter the users. If you select Scope, the Blogs Aggregator will contain only entries of users who are in the current scope. This will, in essence, limit the entries to members of the Community or Organization upon which the Blogs Aggregator portlet resides.
Organization: Allows you to determine which organization's blogs you want to aggregate.
Display Style: Just like the Blogs portlet, you can select from several different styles for displaying blog entries.
Maximum Items to Display: Select maximum number of entries the portlet will display.
Enable RSS Subscription: The aggregated entries can themselves be an RSS feed. Leave this box selected if you want people to be able to subscribe to your aggregated blog entries.
Show Tags: This option will display all the tags associated with the blogs.
When you have finished setting the options in the portlet, click Save. Then click Return to Full Page.
As you will see, the Blogs Aggregator looks very much like the Blogs portlet, except that the entries come from more than one author.

Woman finds possible pipe bomb in garage
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) -- Police in Olympia, Washington, say a woman who was cleaning her garage reported finding a possible pipe bomb.
Lt. Ray Holmes said Monday that the object was about 8 inches long with caps on both ends and a fuse. An Olympia officer who went to look at the device says it resembled a pipe bomb.
It was secured and the Washington State Patrol bomb squad went to the home and took the device to dispose of it.
Holmes says there's no indication who might have put it there or when.

Hydration is critical to staying healthy and productive, so a water cooler in the workplace can maintain employee morale and keep workers going throughout the day. However, while investing in a water cooler may be a one time purchase, it is important to keep up with the necessary maintenance to keep the cooler functional. This not only includes replacing the water and keeping the area clean, but keeping a fresh supply of watercooler cups readily available for employee usage.
It may seem obvious, but selecting the right watercooler cups is an important decision. These cups should not only supplement a functional water cooler, but need to be sanitary, usable, and cost-effective. While considering watercooler cups for business use, be sure to keep these factors in mind to make the best decision possible.
Though there are a variety of options for watercooler cups, paper cone cups are one of the most popular choices in workplaces. The reason is in the unique shape of these cups. Paper cone cups benefit from their shape, making them easy to store and stack. In this way, paper cone cups are very practical. Watercooler cups are also available in more traditional cylindrical shapes, and may be made with alternative materials such as waxed paper and plastic.
Paper cone cups have a unique advantage over other types of cups because they are harder to reuse. Being cone shaped, these watercooler cups cannot be put down. While this may seem like a drawback at first glance, smart businesses will realize that this actually promotes sanitary issues in the workplace. After all, paper cone cups must be disposed of immediately, ensuring that no one reuses the cup and risks contaminating the rest of the water supply. It also prevents cups from getting left around, which can not only lead to unsanitary conditions, but can cause unexpected messes when transferred back to personal work spaces. These sanitation perks far outweigh any additional cost for supplying employees with additional cups for multiple drinks throughout the day.
It is possible to purchase watercooler cups in a variety of sizes to accommodate a wide range of needs. The standard size is 4.5 ounces, but it is also possible to purchase cups that hold 4.0 or 4.25 ounces. These minor size differences can easily suit any employer preference.
The cost of watercooler cups will vary based on the style and size, though it is possible to save money by buying in bulk along with other paper supplies and janitorial supplies. It is possible to purchase paper cone cups in 5000 count packages, which are then conveniently packaged in smaller sleeves to help maintain the integrity of the cups. Buying in these larger bulk amounts not only saves money, but makes it easy to keep the supply fully stocked, no matter what needs arise.
Overall, paper cone cups are a smart investment to keep a water cooler usable and clean. Considering the size, shape, and material of watercooler cups can make it easy to find the right option for any place of business.

Netherlands Bikeways
Classic bicycle routes of Holland.
Saturday, March 28, 2015
A day in Antwerp. Had breakfast with Marleen, chatted about Vrienden op de Fiets, Flemish, families, etc. She is off to the Belgian coast. She's taking a folding bike. She says that a tram runs along the coast. I could go to Ghent tomorrow but the wind is blowing toward east and rain is predicted. Is this the end of my journey? It's been a week.

Amsterdam -> Antwerp V
➢ 81
On the way to Putte... After a fruitless attempt to locate the fiets network from the center of Kalmthout, I just got on the N111 west and put on my headphones. There is a bike path along the highway, the signature thin red strip of northern Belgium. After a while I found a knooppunt marker, and now I'm going through the woods toward Puttte, which is to say, back to the Netherlands.

Amsterdam - Antwerp IV
|Mastbos, Breda
I stopped in Breda for a day, mainly to get my bike repaired. Something wrong with the brake and it periodically made a dreadful squeaking noise. I had the repair done at a friendly long-standing shop, De Klein Fietsen. The charge was reasonable: €17.50. I also looked at some second-hand bikes there but was not wowed by the Montego or Gazelle that I tried.

Amsterdam - Antwerp III
Monday, March 16, 2015
Amsterdam -> Antwerp II
The next day, back yet again on the Amsterdam Rijnkanaal, now south of Utrecht. Last time I made this journey I stuck to the LF-7, which veers away from the canal and goes through the town of Nieuwegein, before arriving at the Lek River. This time I'll stick to the canal, or actually a branch of it, the Lekkanaal which feeds into the Lek, then follow the river's north bank to the ferry to Vianen, then proceed down the LF.

ReviewsMcGard Locking Wheel Nuts 27179SL 2 2Very good these Well as you can guess i purchased these for a set of aftermarket wheels, as the little oiks around my area are like Magpies when it comes to something shiny. So i got them to protect my pride and joy from being the subject of their abusive ways. In all honesty they are really good and i am soo pleased with 1. How they look and 2. how easy they were to fit. Granted the sleeve for the nut was a bit tight around the wheel but thats only my experience. I would not hesitate to get another one but hopefully i will never have to as these fit soo well and in all honesty fit better than standard nuts. All in all good purchase. 20 January 2012Great service Ordered these online and they were made available for pickup within 15 minutes or so. Fantastic. 23 December 20111-2 of 2

From watching a Mets game to exploring the New York Hall of Science, there's no shortage of activities at the 1,255-acre Flushing Meadows–Corona Park. Take a break at the Flushing Meadows Carousel, adjacent to the Queens Zoo. The turn-of-the-last-century wood classic comprises 64 "jumping" horses (some with flying manes and tails), seven standing horses, a lion and two stand-alone chariots. The ride combines figures from two early-1900s Coney Island attractions: the Charles Feltman and the Stubbman carousels. Both were the work of master carver Marcus Charles Illions, who had a hand in several Coney Island amusements. The mash-up merry-go-round was installed at its current home for the 1964 World's Fair.

text: I think I understand, but I want to make sure. The vapor pressure of a substance is the pressure of the substance evaporating/sublimating at a given temperature and can be calculated using the Antoine Equation. This must be measured at the interface of the substance and atmosphere, or if the system is at equilibrium, it could be measured anywhere in the system. The saturation pressure assumes that the substance has fully vaporized to its equilibrium point. It could be measured at any gaseous part of the system. They are almost the same, right? The difference is just whether the system is at equilibrium?

Why George Osborne's cut-price bank shares could cost the Tories three million votes
George Osborne may think the offer of a "people's bank bonus" will prove popular – but this Big Idea could cost the Conservatives the next General Election when more than 3.1m shareholders in Lloyds Banking Group and RBS work out how it will hit them in the pocket.
At first sight, the idea of distributing cut-price stock in semi-nationalised banks may seem attractive. At best, the deal might remind people of the profits many enjoyed during the privatisation programme of the 1980s and at worst it could look like a cheap way to buy votes. History demonstrates that many voters are quite happy to be bribed with their own money.
Mr Osborne is reported to have said: "The bankers have had their bonuses. We want a people's bank bonus for the people's money that was put into these organisations. "
The State owns about 41pc of Lloyds and 73pc of RBS – formerly known as Royal Bank of Scotland and including subsidiaries such as NatWest and Coutts. But what about the views of the owners of the rest of the equity in these banking groups; including 3m private shareholders at Lloyds and 195,000 individual investors at RBS?
They only own a tiny minority of the shares by value but they hold a substantial proportion of the votes which are likely to be cast in the next General Election. Few will be pleased when they realise that whatever discount to the prevailing market price Mr Osborne offers any buyers to make his "people's bank bonus" attractive must cut the value of existing shareholdings.
So, for example, if the State were to sell its stake in Lloyds at a 20pc discount to the market price today, the disposal of such a large line of stock at a fifth below the going rate would be likely to cut a tenth or so off the current price of 52p . The same discount applied to RBS today would cut its price from 36p to something like 32p.
The current deeply depressed levels of these banks' shares remind us what a battering investors have already suffered – and that includes most pension fund savers in addition to the direct investors mentioned earlier. Just three years ago, RBS was trading at 600p and Lloyds at 400p a share.
While RBS can be seen as the author of its own misfortunes after pursuing an insanely ambitious takeover programme, Lloyds' shareholers have reason to be particularly sensitive about political interference. Many – including your humble correspondent – held shares in this bank, believing it would stick to its knitting and pay good dividends instead of acquiring other banks.
That was Lloyds' policy for many years until, with disastrous effect, the Government persuaded it to help rescue HBOS; formerly known as Halifax Bank of Scotland. The Lloyds share price has never recovered from that poison pill. Any further political interference would look like kicking a man when he is flat on his back.
Fortunately, even if the small matter of winning the General Election can be taken for granted, it may be a long time before Mr Osborne's plan is put into effect. According to the National Audit Office, the effective price at which the State obtained its stake in Lloyds was 74p and it paid an average of 50p for RBS.
Both banks will have to soar before any discounted share offer can avoid being seen as a gross waste of taxpayers' money – and further pain for more than 3m shareholders who have suffered enough already.
