Placer Food Bank gets $25,000 grant for 'Backpack Program'
Throughout Placer Food Bank's service area, 29,220 children are food insecure, meaning they don't know where they will get their next meal.
This coverage area includes Placer, El Dorado and Nevada counties. About 40 percent of these food-insecure children receive federal nutrition assistance and get free or reduced-price lunches at school during the week. But what happens over the weekend?
"Placer Food Bank's Backpack Program helps bridge the gap from school lunch on Friday to lunchtime on Monday by providing children with a weekend supply of nutritious, easy-to-prepare meals and snacks," said Executive Director Dave Martinez in a press release.
The nonprofit organization recently got assistance with this mission from a $25,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation's California State Giving Program. This money allows the food bank to continue its backpack program at the current level.
The program operates at three sites, including Woodbridge Elementary School in Roseville, North Roseville REC Center and Rock Creek Elementary School in Auburn, serving about 615 children weekly.
"This has been a life-changing program for many of our kids," said Woodbridge Principal Dave Phillips in the release. "We've seen an improvement in students' energy level, ability to pay attention in class and attendance since the Backpack Program was initiated here last year."
The food bank wants to expand to at least one more campus by the end of the year. Feeding one child each week is $4, and funding one child per year is roughly $160. Kids get bags — placed into their backpacks — typically filled with juice, cereal, microwavable meals, apple sauce, fruit cups and milk.
"Our children are our future and our greatest asset," Martinez said. "No child should go hungry."

Topic: Technical Support / WASD or Arrow Keys "stick" on moving games only on Kongregate - Problem solved, check the sticky!
It is entirely possible, as I am running Vista also. It could be a Vista problem, or an IE 8 problem, or just a device driver problem. I do not have an XP system to check it against anymore, as both of our computers are Vista 32 now. I wish someone with actual technical expertise checked these forums ocassionally.

Increasing home value
When you buy a property, the chances are that it'll need some sort of refurbishment or renovation. It's very unlikely that the previous owners decorated it to your taste and it may be that you spent less money on the house so you could spend more doing it up.
If you're thinking of selling your house soon, you may want to improve its condition or appeal and therefore increase its value when it goes on the market. Unfortunately, with many home improvements you will not recover your costs, although they may improve the charm of your property.
However, there are certain ways in which you can add value to your home which don't necessarily involve spending huge amounts of money.
If your home doesn't have off-road parking or is permit only, adding a secure place for cars can really help increase your appeal to buyers. The price of a garage can vary quite significantly, but is often one of the few additions to your home that allows you to recoup your costs.Build an extension
If your house is on the small side, adding an extension can be a fabulous way to give yourself more space and increase the value of your home. An extra bedroom can really add value, as can an extra bathroom if the house only has one. Be careful not to build for the sake of it, as it can put people off.Convert your loft
If your family is outgrowing your home, converting the loft into a bedroom and en-suite bathroom can add valuable space without encroaching on your garden. Loft conversions don't usually require planning permission either, but they will need proper loft access so make sure you research it properly.Paint the walls
Repainting inside and outside walls can make all the difference. Rooms look better cared for and the house appears more welcoming. Stick to neutral colours so that people aren't intimidated and this will make your home seem more appealing. If you don't have time to paint the outside walls as well, just give them a good wash.Replace the windows
If your home has old windows, putting new, more efficient ones in can help to increase the value of your home. Newer windows keep heat in and are more energy efficient. If you live in a period home however, putting brand new uPVC windows in may actually put people off buying your home.Modernise the kitchen
If your kitchen is decades old it may be worth investing in a new one. If it's satisfactory, then you can increase its potential by replacing cupboard doors and tiles. It's also worth having leaky taps fixed and checking the plumbing. Never spend thousands on a garish kitchen that new owners would immediately rip out.Remove the walls
If your house is quite small, an open-plan feel will open it up and make it look bigger. Kitchen-cum-dining rooms make life easier and are much friendlier, especially these days when the kitchen isn't just for cooking.Add a bathroom
The queue for the bathroom can be a nightmare, especially if you have teenagers, so putting in a downstairs shower room or cloakroom can really make the difference. They don't take up much space either so won't intrude into valuable driveway or grassy space. It also increases your appeal to buyers.Tidy the garden
Keeping your garden in order can make your house more appealing to future buyers and can give you the edge on an asking price. If you're not a gardener, make sure grass is mown and flower beds are tidy so that the garden's potential is obvious.Finally…
Tempting though it may be, a swimming pool, hot tub or Jacuzzi will probably not increase the value of your property. The weather in the UK is too temperamental and the maintenance costs of a pool are extremely high.
How can John Lewis Home Insurance help?
If you're looking to increase the value of your home, it's important to check that your home insurance policy still covers it. If you're adding extra rooms to your home, you may want to consider Specialist Home Insurance which provides a higher level of cover for homes with more than six bedrooms.
John Lewis Home Insurance offers Buildings and Contents Insurance to protect your home and belongings. You can also choose Accidental Damage Cover, so that if you are attempting to install a bathroom yourself and something gets broken or damaged, you could be covered.

Testing checklist:  update

New page

==Abstract==
 Funtoo needs to be able to create bootable media.

 ''Needs? We seem to be doing fine without our own branded media.''

 Anyway, it shouldn't be hard to add ISO/image generation to Metro.

 ''I should say I get really confuzed when figuring out bootloader->kernel->init, so this might get messy.''

 The following is some pseudosteps which I think would create an ISO.

 # Create a stage4, but instead of tar compression, use squashfs.
 #* From brief exploration, it seems <tt>targets/gentoo/stage/capture</tt> will be the place to edit.
 # Make an kernel w/ genkernel; should be able to handle squashfs.
 #* If not with genkernel, get a generic kernel (monolithic or modular), make initramfs with better-initramfs.
 # Prepare isolinux.
 #* ISOLINUX's documentation is a little arcane, and I have no idea how gentoo's livedvd handles EFI.
 #...
 # Profit!

 ==LiveCD/DVD Generation==
 ===Squashfs compression in Metro===
 Taking a look at <tt>etc/builds/funtoo/build.conf</tt>, there is no reference to what type to capture (see <tt>targets/gentoo/stage/capture/</tt>). I have no idea where to specify <tt>ami</tt> (and therefore any other capture method).

 Metro would need to create a stage4, then use that as a seed for an ISO (or, shall we do something completely different?).

 ====Update 1====
 Metro comes bundled with a stage4 target. The stage4 collects <tt>targets/gentoo/stage/capture/tar.spec</tt>; some quick edits later it should be squashfs-compressed.

 {{Info|I kept the stage4 as-is as emerge/packages is done in that step, and split genkernel and squashing into "stage5".}}

 This stage contains a full dev-environment (gcc, portage etc.) which usually doesn't go onto installation media. I like them there, but others may want a way to prune.

 {{Root|<nowiki># ROOT=/mnt/gentoo emerge system # anyone?</nowiki>}}

 ====Update 2====
 Apart from fine-tuning <tt>init</tt> (and pruning), this is pretty much done.

 =====Init=====
 Autodetection, MOTD, autologin all need to be done (currently it boots into a regular login which hasn't been setup).

 Waiting for [[Funtoo Startup]] to get written.

 ====Update 3====
 Autologin works (not like gentoo livecd, but it drops to a root shell which is what we want). Autodetection goes under OpenRC tweaking.

 ===Bootable kernel===
 I'm pretty sure a genkernel kernel can be put on a livecd as-is, but by now the squashfs is set in stone; too late for the modules to be placed in <tt>/lib/modules</tt>.

 I seem to remember a gentooor maybe it was ubuntu... livecd with grub. How?

 ====Update 1====
 With "stage5", we actually have the kernel and modules inside the squashfs (so no problem there); the problem is now we need it _outside_...

 Probably not a major problem. <tt>unsquashfs</tt> can selectively extract any necessaries from it.

 The final part of the process is bringing it altogether. I can't imagine that metro can take a stage5.sqfs and make funtoo-${subarch}.iso.

 ====Update 2====
 Using a shell script, it can be quite easy to collect the pieces for a livecd. I'm not sure what metro can run after <tt>steps/capture</tt>, but that might be able to do it at some point after.

 isolinux and its config are pretty static on an arch, but I would like to see a dynamic way of creating them.

 Other than that, just some init (loads of openrc errors) tweaking.

 ====Update 3====
 I'm using <tt>cdupdate.sh</tt> to apply a workaround for init/openrc.

 Just tweaking left.

 ==LiveUSB==
 Now, this is slightly easier yet more difficult. A liveUSB image should be the product of:
 {{Root|<nowiki># dd bs=4096 if=/dev/sda of=funtoo-liveusb.img</nowiki>}}

 However, boot-loaders (EXTLINUX, GRUB) need a real mounted device, which is $DIFFICULTY; especially when considering automating it: metro can (if your portage snapshot is already made) run many instances at the same time without problem; otherwise you'd need a spare partition and fast drives so you can <tt>dd</tt> off many images (I suspect it would be several hours per image).

 Mounting an empty image via loop and writing to it doesn't work AFAIK:
 {{Root|<nowiki>#</nowiki> mount -o loop blank.img /mnt/gentoo}}

 ===LVM===
 Some of us are loud proponents for lvm, and installing a gentoo/funtoo instance on an LVM on a USB has the possibility of being '''*very*''' practical.

 Basically, instead of the squashfs, we have a (compressed or not) lvm image that we mount as our rootfs in the live environment; the "stage 5" (stage 4 + kernel stuff).

 To install it, just <tt>dd</tt> the lvm to the hdd (as long as the hdd has the capacity to hold the lvm image).

 This should put a very small partition onto the hdd with the rest zeroed and unused. In the live environment: fdisk in and change the end cylinder of the partition (max it out), then pvresize to get the lvm filling the disk.

 ====Update 1====
 Unix's "everything is a file" falls down here (just saying).

 ====Update 2====
 isolinux's documentation mentions isohybrid, which can make the the same livecd also bootable from keys.

 Two updates down, I haven't looked at this yet (LiveCD first).

 ===References===

 ==Current Issues==
 ===Read-only file system===
 The live CD environment is completely read-only, which is a
 problem most of the time but very inconvenient if you download
 a stage without preparing a hard disk (or tmpfs) first.

 Until a suitable workaround is found and implemented, please try the following.

 ====Workaround 1====
 Prepare a temporary directory in ram:
 {{Root|<nowiki># mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /tmp
 # cd /tmp
 # wget ...stage3...</nowiki>}}

 ====Workaround 2====
 Prepare your hard disk on <tt>/mnt/gentoo</tt> and download it there:
 {{Root|<nowiki># fdisk /dev/...
 # cfdisk /dev/...

 # mkfs.... /dev/...
 # mount /dev/... /mnt/gentoo
 # cd /mnt/gentoo
 # wget ...stage3...</nowiki>}}

 ====Workaround 3====
 Pipe wget into tar:
 {{Root|<nowiki># fdisk /dev/...
 # cfdisk /dev/...

 # mkfs.... /dev/...
 # mount /dev/... /mnt/gentoo
 # wget -O- ...stage3... | tar xvjpf - -C /mnt/gentoo</nowiki>}}

 ==Usage==
 {{Info|Edit line 1 for your architecture. If your arch is amd64, just copy and paste (without the '#'s).}}

 The following block only needs to be run once, the first time you use metro.
 {{Root|<nowiki># arch=amd64 export arch
 # startdate=$(date +%Y.%m.%d) export startdate
 # cd /home
 # mkdir -p mirror/linux/funtoo/$arch/{.control/{version,strategy},funtoo-$arch-current}
 # cd /home/mirror/linux/funtoo/$arch/.control
 # echo current > version/stage3
 # echo local > strategy/build
 # echo stage3 > strategy/seed
 # wget -O /home/mirror/linux/funtoo/$arch/funtoo-$arch-current/stage3-$arch-current.tar.xz \
 ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/metalab/distributions/funtoo/funtoo/$arch/stage3-$arch-current.tar.xz
 # cd /root
 # git clone git://github.com/theappleman/metro.git
 # cd metro
 # git checkout -b squashfs origin/squashfs
 # ln -s /root/metro/metro /usr/bin/metro
 # ln -s /root/metro /usr/lib/metro
 # emerge -1 app-cdr/cdrtools sys-boot/syslinux sys-fs/squashfs-tools</nowiki>}}

 {{Root|<nowiki># /usr/lib/metro/scripts/ezbuild.sh iso $arch $startdate
 # cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom /home/mirror/linux/funtoo/$arch/funtoo-$arch-$startdate/stage5-$arch-$startdate.iso</nowiki>}}

 ==Testing checklist==
 Due to the complexity, '''many''' things are likely to go wrong. Potential testers should be asked to nohup or tee their output for debugging.

 * stage 1, 2 and 3 should be exactly like using the original funtoo/~funtoo build targets.
 * stage 4 is a stage 3 with some extra packages (no configuration).
 * stage 5 is the complex step
 ** stage 5 installs an extra package (because of its special USE flag), compiles a kernel and compresses it into a squashfs-image instead of a tarball.
 ** Then, it takes the squashfs image and wraps an ISO around it.
 **# ISO 9660 boot code binary data (7zip hides this in <nowiki>[BOOT]</nowiki>)
 **# kernel, initramfs etc
 **# isolinux config
 **# cdupdate.sh
 **# /livecd marker
 **# memtest
 **# extra files
 **# <s>Volume ID</s> (disabled for now)
 **# Hybrid booting
 **# GPG signature
 * Booting
 *# Main kernel
 *# Memtest kernel
 *# Hardware detection
 *# Media discovery
 *# <s>unionfs</s> (kernel support included, disabled by default)
 *# cdupdate.sh (before openrc init)

Thinking of a beach getaway for the family? Pack up the kids, some beach towels, beach toys, swimsuits, and plenty of sunscreen and get ready for some memorable times on the shore this summer.
There are plenty of kid-friendly beaches across the country to explore! These beaches get an A+ for having amenities like restrooms and showers, good sand quality, kid-friendly waves*, and overall picturesque beauty. Here are just a few family-friendly beaches worth checking out this summer:
Coronado Beach, Coronado Island, California: With the historic Hotel Del Coronado as its backdrop, this wide stretch of beach makes it perfect for a family beach picnic. The little kids will enjoy building sandcastles while the older kids can play beach volleyball or rollerblade on the 15-mile pathway. There's lots of free parking, restrooms, year-round lifeguards and showers. You can also enjoy a nice lunch in the hotel.
Poipu Beach, Kauai, Hawaii: Just west of Poipu Beach is a little protected cove aptly named "Baby Beach". This is perfect place for young kids and babies to get their first taste of the ocean while being protected from the currents. There's also a grassy park by the parking lot which is perfect for picnics.
Santa Cruz Beach, Santa Cruz, California: The kids will have a blast on the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk which features lots of rides, games and entertainment. The older kids can even learn to surf on Cowell's Beach which usually has great conditions for beginners.
Siesta Beach, Siesta Key, Florida: The powdery white sand makes this beach one of the most beautiful beaches you'll ever see. There's a shaded picnic area and a playground for the kids, not to mention lots of family-friendly restaurants to choose from.
Ko'olina Beach Park, Oahu, Hawaii: Nestled in the west side of Oahu, this resort beach is home to the upscale Marriott Ihilani Resort and more recently, the Aulani Disney Resort. There is, however, a public-access section, so you don't need to shell out big bucks to stay at the hotel or its many villas to enjoy the beach. There are three kid-friendly man-made lagoons that make up the beach area, each one protected by rock barriers. There are also several grassy and shaded picnic areas, lifeguards, restrooms and showers, making it convenient for parents and kids alike.
*constant adult supervision is a must at any beach.

Also, are liners a good or bad idea? How much do they affect performance. I've started racing and don't know which is worse, the liners or having to stop and fix a flat.

Don't buy tires before you read this…
Ever wondered what do the numbers like P185/60HR14 on your car tires mean? If you are not sure, you are not alone. In a recent survey 78% of people did not know what their tire spec number meant. A whopping 93% did not know the disadvantages of Performance All Season Tires over regular All Season Tires. So here is a comprehensive guide on how to select the perfect tires for your auto.
Tire Selection Guide: What Everybody Ought to Know About
Let's start with the Tire number system. A typical tire number looks like: P185/60HR14. Here is how to decode it.
- The first spot represents the type of vehicle. P for passenger cars and LT for light trucks and SUV's
- The second spot number(185 in this example) is the tire cross-section width in millimeters
- The third spot (60 in this example) is the aspect ratio: The tire sidewall height to the cross-section width. For a smoother ride, choose this number to be bigger. A smaller number here gives a crisper handling.
- The fourth spot is the max speed rating
- H = 130 miles per hour
- Q = 99 miles per hour
- S = 112 miles per hour
- T = 118 miles per hour
- v = 149 miles per hour
- Z = 150 miles per hour
- R in the fifth spot means that it's a radial-ply tire. Other choices here are D (diagonal) or B (belted bias). If this spot has no letter at all, it means that it is a radial-ply tire.
- And the final number is the diameter of the tire hole in inches. A point to note that this is NOT the outer diameter. So if you were looking for a rim/wheel to fit on a 14″ tire, you would pick the rim/wheel to be 14″ as well.
- Sometimes, there is an additional number at the end. (E.g. P185/60HR14 89). This last number represents a load index. The bigger this number, the more the load the tire can safely carry. When replacing your tire, make sure that the new tire has at least the same load index as what you had before.
PS: Some tire company use a slightly different format: Instead of P185/60HR14 89, they write P185/60R14 89H.
So there you have it… Now you can buy tires like a pro! In the next blog, I will describe various type of tires, and explain advantages and disadvantages for each so that you can pick the perfect tires to fit your needs.

An instance of this class defines a transcription unit, meaning a set of one or more genes that are transcribed to produce a single messenger RNA. The differences between a transcription unit and an operon are (1) Technically, an operon must include more than one gene. (2) An operon may include more than one promoter. For operons that include multiple promoters, a transcription unit is defined for each promoter.
A transcription unit should have as its components one or more genes, zero or one promoter, and zero or more terminators. Transcription factor binding sites need not be components of a transcription unit. A one-to-one correspondence is defined between a transcription unit and a promoter plus set of genes. Promoters can be omitted if the transcription start site is unknown, in which case the correspondence is between a transcription unit and a set of genes. Multiple terminators can be included in a transcription-unit, but typically a separate transcription unit is defined for each different set of transcribed genes (an exception is made for attenuators -- generally no transcription unit is defined for the truncated transcript produced by attenuation, even if it includes the gene for a leader peptide).

Hello Everyone... thought it was time to join the community. I've been cycling for well over two decades and just came to the realization that it doesn't always have to be so solitary. I'm glad I stumbled across this forum.
I currently ride a 86' Bianchi Giro and in fact have ridden it for the last 23 years. Purchased in 1987, it has proven to be a wise investment. Over the years it has seen many states (from the back of a moving truck, mostly), allowed me to log a 1000+ rides, listened to my mid-ride rantings and mutterings, seen the pavement too up close and personal (just a few times), and waited with me patiently for the first days of spring while dreading the onslaught of winter. Overall it has been a great ride so far.
I look forward to reading everyone's insights, advice and suggestions, and hope to form friendships along the way.

The Lincoln County South Dakota Planning and Zoning Board approved a permit for a 4250 head dairy. Planning and Zoning Administrator Paul Aslesen says Dakota Plains Dairy owned by Tim Den Dulk met all the Confined Animal Feedlot regulations under the County's Zoning ordinance as well as other criteria used to approve permits.
Aslesen says the dairy operators did a good job in meeting neighbor's concerns including drainage and road usage. He says they were very well prepared prior to appearing before the Planning and Zoning commission.
Dakota Plains Dairy will employ 30 people with salaries ranging from$ 35,000 to $ 100,000. The permit approval is final unless it's appealed to the County Board of Commissioners.

Is it okay to have sex during pregnancy and when should I stop. It sometimes hurts my side when I do have sex but if I stop for a while I am fine then. I am on top but don't sit straight up. I bend over a little and rest on my hands. Is that okay? I feel that I might be laying on my stomach too much. What is the best position?

I'm actually conducting my dissertation study on sex during pregnancy. There's still so much we don't know about this very important topic. I agree that for the post part it is ok, but it is so much more complicated than that...not just about whether it is okay or not, but also let's not forget how YOU and your partner feel about sex during pregnancy...not just what your doctor thinks.

Second woman turns yoga into a business
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Soon after Emily Jones discovered yoga 12 years ago, she knew one day she'd teach it.
"I was drawn to the fact that it was not just a physical practice, although it was a physical practice. It involved much more than just my physical body ... it made me feel good. It helped me gain control in different areas of my life."
Jones, 37, joined her love of yoga with a lifelong goal of owning a small business in January, when she opened Lifespring Yoga and Nutrition on Quarrier Street in downtown Charleston.
She had been teaching yoga in various venues and said opening the business was a way to focus her energy.
"I found myself running everywhere," she said. "I didn't feel like I was able to fully commit my energy into the development of one spot. I felt like my offering of this of this practice could be much more powerful if I could just focus my attention to one area, one location instead of having three or four going at one time."
While yoga classes are offered at local agencies in the area, Lifespring may be one of only two stand-alone yoga studios in Charleston.
April Woody opened the Folded Leaf on Bridge Road in January 2008.
"I had absolutely no idea if it would work or not," Woody said.
Yoga studios' fortunes in the Kanawha Valley have been a mixed bag.
Woody had a Teays Valley branch of the Folded Leaf for a year and a half, but she ultimately closed it because she didn't have enough customers.
"I didn't lose sleep," she said. "I tried. It was not working so I folded up the tent and went home."
Namaste Yoga opened on Quarrier Street in 2004 and closed about a year later.
Jones said she isn't sure if the business has turned a profit yet, but she's optimistic.
"I pay the bills every month," she said. "I didn't have a whole lot invested in this business.... What makes it low investment is that I don't have inventory. It wasn't like opening a store or restaurant where I had to buy all this equipment and spend 20 to 30 thousand dollars before I could make any money. I have very little involved."
She rents space in the building where she is. Yoga instructors who teach there are contractors, not employees. She has invested in flooring and some yoga mats for the studio, she said.
Running the Folded Leaf over the past few years has not always been easy, Woody said. Some months, she had barely any money left over for her when the bills we're paid. She said she's lucky to have a husband with a steady income the couple can rely on.
"Someone else might have tucked tail had they needed a specific amount of income from it," she said.
For the most part, though, business is strong and growing, she said.
"My attendance for May 2012 beat the attendance for January 2011 by a lot," she said. "That's our busiest months -- January and February. [Summer] is typically the time of year when attendance wanes."
As a business owner, the prospect of having another yoga studio close by is a concern for her, Woody said.
"I absolutely want as much yoga to be available to as many people as possible.... As a business owner, there's a little bit of concern. I wish Emily well and I want to see her do well. So far I've not seen any negative consequences."
Woody, who seeks out a place to practice yoga any time she travels, said finding multiple yoga studios in one city typically isn't a problem. Yoga has become more mainstream in recent years, but Woody said the Charleston area and much of the South has been slow to embrace it.
"There seems to be a very southern thing -- the lack of progressive thought," she said. "At the same time other places I can find lots of places for yoga. Places like Louisville are a hot spot for yoga."
Jones said she doesn't think having two yoga studios in Charleston will be a problem.
"There's such a need," she said. "Everybody wants to feel good. Everyone wants to improve their health ... I feel like there is enough demand for everyone."

2/3/2013 (3 years ago)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Portland prides itself on being a sort of last vestige of the sixties counter culture. The irony is that the Catholic Church, and especially the dynamically orthodox expression of her faith and life as represented by Bishops like Alexander K. Sample, is becoming the real counterculture of this age.
Archbishop elect Alexander K. Sample
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
2/3/2013 (3 years ago)
Published in U.S.
Keywords: Portland, Bishop Alexander K. Sample, counterculture, orthodox Catholic, extraordinary form, fidelity, Pope Benedict XVI, Deacon Keith Fournier
PORTLAND, OR. (Catholic Online) - On Tuesday, January 29, 2013, it was announced that Bishop Alexander K. Sample will succeed Archbishop John Vlazny in the Archdiocese of Portland,Oregon. Bishop Sample currently presides over the Diocese of Marquette. At 52 years old, he will become the youngest Archbishop in the Church in the United States and the 11th Archbishop of Portland.
Though I do not know him personally, I know his reputation and love his writing. Having served as a Deacon of the Church for seventeen years, I search for writing which captures the diaconate as a unique vocation. Last year I read his excellent pastoral letter entitled "The Deacon: Icon of Jesus Christ the Servant".It was released on June 9, the Memorial of Ephrem, Deacon and Doctor. This letter is one of the best. It provides a tremendous treatment of the history, mystery and meaning of the Diaconate
I speak of my diaconal vocation as being placed at the intersection of faith and culture. I sense a vocation to live at the heart of the church for the sake of the world. I see myself going from the Ambo to the altar and into the world- in order to bring the world into the new world of the Church.
So, when I read these words in the Bishops letter on the diaconate I smiled, "Because he stands with a foot in two worlds, the permanent deacon's ministry and witness is distinctively in the world of work and society. Therefore, the theological principles of social doctrine developed over time by the Church must be formative for an effective diaconate." This is a bishop who gets it!
Benedict the Builder is placing Foundation stones in place for the true recovery and authentic renewal of the Catholic Church in the United States. When this papacy is recounted in history, he will be credited with having re-secured the Catholic Church in a time of trial so that she could inaugurate the new missionary age of the Third Millennium. His appointment of Bishops is a key component of that entire undertaking. He is strategically placing Bishops in strategic places. Portland is now added to the number.
I believe this Pope will be credited with stemming the slide of western civilization into a new paganism. The Church is the only hope to preventing this slide. She is not some irritant, preventing progress, she is the path to authentic progress and human flourishing. In continuity with the 2,000 year teaching of the Catholic Church and helping to ensure that the proper understanding of the Second Vatican Council within a hermeneutic of continuity, Pope Benedict XVI is a man on mission.
His selection of Bishops proceeds from his unwavering conviction that the Catholic Church - and the message of authentic and true human progress which she offers the world - is what is most needed in this critical hour in human history. So, Pope Benedict is picking Bishops who are dynamically orthodox. Yes, they are orthodox in doctrine and practice, but they also have the joy so essential for the work ahead.
From what I have heard and read, Bishop Sample is an example of a Bishop who understands that Catholic identity is a treasure. It brings joy and liberates men and women from despair. Sources tell me this young Archbishop elect of Portland is known for his orthodoxy and orthopraxy - as well as his love for the Liturgy, pastoral heart and loving manner. He is unafraid of defending the Right of the Church to be a full participant in society, and does so with straightforward eloquence.
He is also known to be comfortable taking his place in the public square to defend religious freedom and the fundamental dignity of every human life. He is a strong defender of true marriage and a canon lawyer with a strong grasp of the Natural Law arguments so essential to our work in the culture.
He is being sent to Portland, Oregon, a place steeped in the secularism of the age and desperately in need of a vibrant witness of faithful Catholic and life. Ironically, Portland prides itself on being a sort of last vestige of the sixties counter culture.
The irony is that the Catholic Church, and especially the dynamically orthodox expression of her faith and life as represented by Bishops like Alexander K. Sample, is becoming the real counterculture of this age.
We live in a declining western culture, increasingly hostile to the Church. Our struggle involves a clash of worldviews, personal and corporate, and competing definitions of human freedom, human dignity, and human flourishing.
We face a dictatorship of relativism which claims there are no truths. We insist that there is Truth, it can be known - and it must govern our lives. This means we face persecution. Our path is paved with the insults, accusations and calumny of our fellow citizens.
We are accused of being against progress and science for defending the dignity of every human life - including the lives of our first neighbors in the womb. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are Pro-life because it is right. Science exists to serve the person, the family and the common good.
We stand up to the architects of a culture of death and refuse to compromise on the truth concerning the dignity of every human life from conception through natural death. Science confirms what our conscience long ago confirmed, those little girls and boys in the womb are our neighbors. It is always wrong to intentionally kill our innocent neighbors. To say and do otherwise is barbaric.
We insist, in the face of the rise of a counterfeit notion of marriage, that true marriage and family have been inscribed by the Divine Architect into the order of the universe. Truth does not change, people and cultures do; sometimes for good and sometimes for evil.
Marriage between one man and one woman, is the first society into which children are to be born, learn to be fully human, grow in virtue, flourish and take their role in families and communities. Heterosexual marriage, procreation, and the nurturing of children form the foundation for the family, and the family forms the foundation of civil society.
True marriage is the preeminent and the most fundamental of all human social institutions. It is a relationship defined by nature itself and protected by the natural law that binds all men and women. It finds its foundation in the order of creation.
Civil institutions do not create marriage nor can they create a "right" to marry for those who are incapable of marriage. The institutions of government should, when acting properly, defend marriage against those who would redefine it.
Government has long regulated marriage for the common good. For example, the ban on polygamy and age requirements were enforced in order to ensure that there was a mature decision at the basis of the Marriage contract.
To limit marriage to heterosexual couples is not discriminatory. Homosexual couples cannot bring into existence what marriage intends by its very definition. To confer the benefits that have been conferred in the past only to stable married couples and families to homosexual paramours is bad public policy.
We are not afraid to make the claim that children have a right to a mother and a father. They do. Of course we care about the single parent family and the many broken homes. However, their existence does not change the norm necessary to build a stable and healthy society. In tact marriages and families are the glue of a healthy and happy social order.
To live in a faithful, heterosexual marriage, open to children, is now countercultural. To live as a faithful Catholic Christian in Portland is countercultural. The claims of the Catholic Church concerning life and marriage are not outdated notions of a past era but provide the only path to a future of freedom.
We insist upon the existence of a Natural Moral Law which can be known by all men and women through the exercise of reason because it is the only stable foundation for the law. This is not only a Christian position. It is the ground upon which every great civilization has been built.
The Natural Law is the source of every authentic human and civil rights movement. The Natural Law gives us the moral norms we need to build societies and govern ourselves. It must inform our positive law or we will become lawless and devolve into anarchy.
These claims are increasingly ridiculed and those who hold to them will face growing disparagement and ostracism. However, they are the only antidote to the malady which is rotting western civilization. We are a counter culture. However, this is not the first time in our two thousand year history we have faced such a status.
That is where understanding Christian history can help. The early Church was sent into cultures filled with people who thought they were advanced in light of the arts and sciences of their day. Yet, those cultures practiced primitive forms of abortion and even exposure, a practice of leaving unwanted children on rocks to be eaten by birds of prey or picked up by slave traders.
Early Christian manuscripts like the Didache (the Teaching of the Twelve) and the Letter to Diognetus show us that the early Christians lived in and transformed cultures very much like our own. Cultures of use where people were treated as property, cultures of excess where freedom was perceived as a power over others and license masqueraded as liberty. They eventually changed them from within.
Faithful Catholics are a new Counter Culture offering a way forward to a Western Culture which has lost its soul. Archbishop Alexander K. Sample is being sent to Portland to plant the true counterculture in that City. Our prayers and support go with him.

Ted Strickland plans to "expose' record of Romney
Staff report
Former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland will lead a press conference at Ohio Democratic Party Headquarters in Columbus on Monday about the 2012 presidential election.
He plans to focus the conference on leading GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romey.
According to organizers, Strickland will "unveil a new initiative exposing the former Massachusetts governor's record."
Romney is leading many polls for next year's Republican presidential nomination.
Let the next wave of mud slinging and name calling begin...2012 is almost here and this one promises to be one of the worst ever...as the old saying goes, "You ain't seen nothin' yet!"
There is nothing that turns me off from politics more than what we are about to experience.
Those who do the slinging are the ones who usually get hurt the most, so now they have also-rans do the slinging to make their star candidate look better.
No need to "unveil a new initiative exposing the former" Ohio governor's record. Working Ohioans experience what he left us everyday. This boob was so in over is head it was embarassing!
Jim Fortune may well be a good Democrat and wear glasses, but I wonder if he can actually read?
What can I say when eveyone else has said it all?!
Thank you vindy commentators! :)

Five Florida teens face burglary-related charges after police followed a trail of candy wrappers from the crime scene back to the house of one of teens.
Officers responded to a break-in Tuesday in Palm Bay on Florida's central Atlantic coast. An officer then followed a trail of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups packages in the backyard.
The officer noticed another wrapper on the front porch of a house near the victim's house.
Officers found several juveniles at the other house. Police say the teens confessed to the burglary and informed officers that the stolen property was in the attic.
Three of the teens face armed burglary charges and two others face charges of resisting arrest without violence and tampering with evidence.

Back to prayer shawls
Posted By Pam MacKenzie On November 5, 2012 @ 9:38 am In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
I haven't made a prayer shawl in a while. Although my profile says I make a shawl a month, I don't anymore. This year, I've been too focused on designing stuff and following patterns of sweaters that are unlike anything I've made before, like the Swirl sweater and the cuff-to-cuff cardigan and the Bergére de France poncho.
But someone at church needs a shawl, so I am making one for her. She resides at a continuing care community and spends a lot of her time in a wheel chair because her legs are weak and she can't walk far. I'm making her a stole that can go over the shoulders or on her lap. She chose blue for the color, so I am using up some of the blue I used for Susan's Vine Leaf Cardigan a few years ago. I have a couple of pounds of it, which should be enough.
I went back to Audrey Knight's book, "Reversible Scarves," and looked up the Double Eyelet and Cable Scarf because I remember liking it so much when I reviewed the book. I still like it, so I tripled the pattern and got started last night (after tracking down the yarn in the attic yesterday afternoon.)
This morning, in the Prayer Shawl Knitters and Crocheters group in Ravelry, we are discussing making shawls for hurricane victims. I've identified 5 churches in the most affected areas that have prayer shawl groups and am contacting them to see if they will be distributing prayer shawls to Sandy victims and need more. I will keep you posted.
And, as I work on this new shawl, I am wearing my new fingerless gloves. I am just delighted with them.

my new little 2.5 gal tank
this is a picture of my small 2.5 gallon tank, its not as cool as it could be now but i need to buy a few more plants or something. my betta elvis is really happy in it since he came from a teenie 1 gallon with only an undergravel filter!
hopefully it works i couldnt use the add an attachment button.
lol a little big i need to resize it!!!! i hope i dont get in trouble.
What trouble?:question: Forget about resizing it.:wink2: :mrgreen: Stunning tank.:checkedout:
lol thank you!! no my mom just got a new camera and i really have no idea how to on the software but im working on it. when i figure it out ill show you my ryukin and oranda goldfish.
heres my 2 out of three goldfish, these two are about 3 inches each and are in a 10 gallon tank so eventually ill need to move them. but im pretty sure ones a ryukin and the others an oranda. the ryukin is paige and the oranda is ghandi.
oops hold on
ok here they are
i just bought a 4 inch bubble stone they like to play in.
By the way, I wouldn't consider the bubble stuff as something they can play. Bubbles if they stick on the body of the fish can cause unbearable pain for the fish. Bubbles tend to stick beneath their scales/skin which will appear like blisters.
I'm tempted to keep goldfish but I'll need another tank.:sarcastic: And as of this time, I'll have to concentrate on my plants to make a planted tank.:mrgreen:
lol ok. but the fat one paige just keeps trying to swim down against the current of the bubbles and its hilarious. i think a good 10 gallon tank with a filter lights and a hood is only around 50 dollars at walmart?

Call it mad genius or a stroke of luck, but Sylvester Stallone seemed to have found a cinematic scratch that wasn't being itched when he got together a bunch of aging action stars, put them in a movie he co-wrote and directed, and smiled to himself as "The Expendables" went on and snatched up $275 million in global box office receipts. Not too bad. And while the actor/director/writer has long talked up his sequel to the film -- even before the first one was released -- it looks like for the next entry in the franchise, Stallone is going to take a step back.
24 Frames reports that Stallone will neither be writing or directing the follow-up and is currently meeting with various helmers to take the reins. Last year, Stallone tweeted that he wanted Bruce Willis to return as a "super villain" in part two and while it remains to be seen how the story will play, we don't doubt that Stallone is whispering in the ears of David Agosto and Ken Kaufman ("Space Cowboys," "In The Army Now") who are tasked with writing the film.
So, is the integrity of "The Expendables" now ruined with Stallone letting others take control of two the biggest creative elements of the film? Nah, not really. Let's be honest the "writing" on the first film was pretty abysmal (the "plot" that was there was barely coherent when it was ripped without any inspiration from a Cannon-video catalog title; and no, that wasn't an homage, just laziness) and the directing was purely functional. For all the fights and explosions in "The Expendables" the only memorable sequence, really, was Dolph Lundgren and Jet Li squaring off (and really, how could anyone forget a matchup like that). Otherwise, it'll probably do better for the film to get someone with a bit of flash and verve directing -- though we don't have much faith the script will be any more improved this time around.
So far the only cast member confirmed to return (other than Stallone) is Randy Couture but Bruce Willis and Jean-Claude Van Damme are rumored to be joining the film, but nothing is locked in just yet. No news on when this shoots, but it is expected to roll in front of cameras sometime this year.
No word yet on potential directors, but as these things tend to go, we're sure names will start leaking left and right within the next few days.

Ethan Morris says his interest in history comes from the trips he and his dad would take to visit history museums and battlegrounds as a kid.
Morris, whose parents are Danny and Rebecca Morris, said a battlefield in Shiloh, Tenn., which had been left the way it was originally, gave him the opportunity to see the story of the battlefield.
"History was a human story to me," he said. "You study how humans act and react."

Statin Medications
Statin drugs are a type of medicine taken by millions to lower cholesterol. They are especially designed to lower LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, also known as "bad cholesterol." In addition to lowering LDL, statin drugs can raise HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol ("good cholesterol".)
Statins are effective in reducing deaths from heart attacks and strokes in high-risk patients. There is an on-going debate about whether statins should be given to lower risk patients. High LDL cholesterol levels are a significant contributor to coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD is caused by the hardening of arteries over time, and it is believed that the slow build-up of LDL cholesterol inside the arteries is what causes this hardening. By lowering bad cholesterol levels, statins also help reduce the risk of heart disease, and may be prescribed to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke-related death in people with high risk for or known CAD.
Types of Statins - Lipitor, Zocor, Crestor, and more.
Introduced in the 1980s, statin use soared in the 1990s and 2000s when they became the first widely used preventative medicines. Millions of people take them every day, all over the world. There has been controversy about whether statins should be used for prevention, but studies have shown their benefits. A lipid profile is a standard part of blood work ordered in a standard physical. The results of the lipid profile - the levels of LDL, HDL, total cholesterol, and triglycerides - along with other details about the patient (e.g. age, overall health) go into the doctor's decision about whether to prescribe a statin drug.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death. Study after study by scientists and doctors have shown that most men and many women over 40 could benefit from regular statin usage. (Whether the benefits outweigh the downsides is another question.) These aren't necessarily people with "high" cholesterol. No matter what your cholesterol is, it could probably be lower if you took statins. Coronary events are highly correlated with the level of LDL cholesterol. (Picture from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.)
An estimated 32 million Americans take statin drugs. It is estimated that 93% of Americans who use any sort of medication to control cholesterol take a statin. (They may also take another kind of medicine in addition to the statin). Both academic studies and anecdotal evidence from doctors indicate that a larger percentage of patients who start on statins stop within 6 months. The reasons for this may be the high cost of the drugs or the fact the benefits of treatment are not immediately obvious (people don't see visible differences when they take the medicine, so conclude it does nothing.)
With the widespread availability of generic statin medications and the success of the drugs in lowering cardiovascular disease incidence, statin usage is likely to increase. It is argued that statins are one of the most important inventions of recent times.
Questions and answers about statin drugs.
Statins are effective for both men and women; they lower cholesterol in all groups, including those who have previous cardiovascular problems and those who do not. Analysis after analysis of patient data from tens of thousands of statin users from different countries around the world has found these drugs to really work. And to be generally safe. While there are side effects associated with them, the cost-benefit calculation comes down on the side of showing these drugs are awesome, time and time again.
Indeed, recent analysis has found that early reports of the benefits of statins were understated and they are even better than previously believed. Whether statins should be used for primary prevention and be distributed widely to those without other risk factors, is a matter of much discussion and debate.

Indo-Pak Cooperation Necessary for Increased Regional Trade in South Asia
May 29, 2013
Despite some tentative new signs that point to improved relations and potential for trade between South Asia's biggest economies – India and Pakistan – the region remains poorly integrated economically, with intraregional trade dreadfully low, hovering at less than 5 percent of total trade.
