Nasrallah claims he met with Qatari envoy
Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said on Tuesday he recently held talks with an envoy from Qatar, the first diplomatic contact between the two sides since differences over the Syrian crisis eroded their once strong relations.
"There is talk between us ... there was a line between us and Qatar which was reopened (recently) but up to a certain limit," Nasrallah said in an interview with Lebanon's OTV television, according to Reuters.
The Hezbollah chief did not elaborate on who the envoy was if they held a senior position, but when asked by the Lebanese interviewer if the meeting had taken place in the last few days, Nasrallah replied: "Yes, it is true. I cannot hide it," Reuters reported.
Prior to the outbreak of the Syrian crisis, Hezbollah - a Shiite Muslim group based in Lebanon - had relatively strong relations with Qatar, especially after the Gulf state funded the rebuilding of many Shiite villages destroyed during the 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel.
According to Reuters, in 2010 the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, made a tour of south Lebanon, a Hezbollah stronghold, and visited and inaugurated several Qatar-funded projects in the area where fighting with Israel took its biggest toll.
With the outbreak of the Syrian crisis, relations between the two sides soured when Qatar took the side of the rebel forces fighting against the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad, a staunch Hezbollah ally.
Nasrallah told OTV television that he told the Qatari envoy that all military options in Syria were "pointless," as he called for a political solution to the crisis. Western powers have set January 22, 2014 as the tentative date for peace talks between all sides involved in the Syrian war.
Syria's civil war is being fought along sectarian lines that has divided the once peaceful country - the previously soothed divisions between the country's Sunni and Shiite populations have ignited and have drawn the region into the fray. The Sunni-majority Gulf states such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar have funded and armed the Sunni rebels while Assad, an Alawite (an off-shoot of Shiite Islam) has been largely supported by Iran, who is also allied to Hezbollah.
The nearly three-year-old conflict in Syria has claimed the lives of more than 110,000 people, has displaced millions of Syrians, sparked an all-out humanitarian crisis and has drawn in thousands of fighters from across the globe.

A fillip is something that boosts, promotes, or energizes. Giving away one free candy bar with every dozen purchased might give a fillip to your candy-selling business.
When economies or markets get a fillip, they move or grow in a positive direction, and if your confidence gets a fillip after you get a good grade, it's a boost to your morale. An older, now obsolete meaning of fillip was "a flick of the finger," sort of a soft snap, and as a verb, "to flip something with the fingers" or "to snap."
Definitions of fillip
n anything that tends to arouse
"his approval was an added fillip"

The King Rufus is a lovely pub situated in the small town of Chandler's Ford. The atmosphere is always warm and inviting. The pub is always kept to a good standard, clean and tidy and well looked after. There is a large beer garden out the back filled with plenty of picnic tables. It's always nice sitting out there in the sun. The outside of the building seems to be always covered in nice flowers, and hanging baskets.
The King Rufus serves good beer, ale and food, and there is always plenty of choice on the menu. From memory, they have a good wine list as well. The King Rufus caters for all really, whether you've popped out for a nice family dinner, or if you prefer a more civilised sit down meal with some friends or a partner.
There is plenty of parking space as well, which is always a bonus. I've never had a problem or a complaint, so I'd fully recommend the King Rufus.

Congrats to 2013 Lighted Boat Parade decoration award winners:
1st Place: Emerald Sea
2nd Place: Reel Antsy
3rd Place: Job Site III
The first Saturday in December of each year marks the date of the Lighted Boat Parade in
Colonial Beach.
The Colonial Yacht Club organizes this event and it dates back a dozen years.
Boats adorned in colorful lights move in formation, up the beachfront of the Town of Colonial Beach, and then make their way back to Monroe Bay. The dazzling array of holiday lights is really something to see, and is a wonderful part of our town's annual Winter Festival, which also includes a Tree of Lights, pictures with Santa and all sorts of other holiday delights.
There's no shortage of lights in this super fun event. I hope to enter my boat in it next year, as I have some great ideas for decorations. I'm really looking forward to it!
In this "Show on H2O" you may see boats fabulously decorated with animated Christmas scenes accompanied by music and costumed carolers. Some folks spare no expense when creating incredible holiday displays on their vessels. These "floats" (get it?!) will give viewers in restaurants, yacht clubs, on public beaches, and in private homes an incredible sight.
Bring friends and family to see this wonderful display. The dancing of the colored lights reflecting off the surface of the water is so pretty and it's a great family event that people of all ages will enjoy.
It begins at Marker 2 right around dusk, which is typically around 5:00pm.
If you'd rather participate than watch, you can apply by completing a short form and turning it in at the Beach Service Center, the Colonial Yacht Center or at the Captain's Meeting at the Dockside
at 1 pm on the day of the event.
Prime viewing areas for the lighted boat parade include the Riverboat restaurant, or the cozy fireside dining area at High Tides restaurant. Anywhere along the beachfront or Boardwalk or the end of the Town Pier works, too. It may be cold out, though, so bundle up.
Lighted Boat Parade Tips
- Buy extra lights and fasteners, just in case.
- Buy your lights during post-season clearance sales.
- Use LED lights, they are more energy efficient.
- Don't make your display too complicated, keep it simple.
- Make sure the lights and decorations don't create a navigational hazard by reducing visibility.
- Bring along a portable generator and extra fuel.
- Take a look at your decorated boat from a distance and see how it looks from there.

You've heard of the excuse about a dog eating the homework? Well, one driver is blaming a car crash on his puppy.
Police and emergency workers were at the scene about 8 a.m. on Ellis Avenue and Robinson Road, where a car had crashed into a utility pole.
The driver told police he was distracted by his German shepherd puppy, which was in the car with him, which led him to crash into the pole.
Neither the driver nor the puppy were injured.

Where Are the Workers? Employees Are Losing Their Central Place in Union Organizing, but Card-Check Legislation Could Turn That Around
Meyerson, Harold, The American Prospect
One sparkling day about 10 years ago, I drove from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara to deliver a talk at a nationwide staff retreat of the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees International Union (HERE). I can't recall exactly what I talked about, but I remember distinctly whom I was talking to. The HERE staffers--there were about 70 of them--were all corporate researchers, most of them from HERE'S locals.
This was something new. For some time, locals in America's more vibrant unions had employed organizers, but no union I knew of--until that day--had embedded corporate researchers in their locals as well. The researchers I met that afternoon were preponderantly young and uniformly bright. But HERE's decision to create a cadre of corporate campaigners was based on the grimmest of facts: Traditional private-sector union organizing--signing up workers who want to join a union, winning a certification election conducted by the government, and securing a collective-bargaining agreement in negotiations with the employer--had become a dead-end.
I discovered that day in Santa Barbara that HERE had concluded there was not a single hotel that could be organized absent a campaign to bring so much financial, political, and community pressure on the employer that it would agree not to oppose unionization. The mere desire of workers to form a union no longer sufficed.
By the 1990s, 30 percent of American employers routinely discharged employees during organizing drives, 49 percent threatened workers with the prospect of closing up shop if they voted to go union, 91 percent compelled workers to attend one-on-one meetings with their supervisors, and many delayed certification elections interminably and refused to agree to a first contract even if the union was legally certified. Employer willingness to violate the terms of the National Labor Relations Act (and suffer the negligible penalties it imposed on them) rather than let their workers unionize had become the norm in American business.
Accordingly, the very act of organizing has gone through a sea change at the nation's better unions and has been all but abandoned by the rest. With employers delaying elections and unions avoiding them, the number of National Labor Relations Board-supervised elections has declined steadily for several decades and has dropped by 41 percent over the past decade alone. One factor not standing in the way of union elections is employees' desire to belong to a union, which has been increasing for the past 15 years. Recent polling shows that 53 percent of nonunion workers would like to have a unionized workplace.
The only option open to unions seeking to organize private-sector workers has been to reach agreements with employers that sidestep the NLRB process altogether. The Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the Communications Workers of America (CWA), the now-merged union of clothing and hotel workers (UNITE HERE), the Teamsters, and a few others continue their work to build union support among rank-and-filers but now supplement that work by waging so-called "corporate campaigns," bringing financial or political pressure on corporate employers to compel them to not oppose unionization efforts. Beginning in the 1980s, these unions created corporate-strategy offices. They began asking elected officials to devise laws and rules that helped friendly employers and hurt union-busters. And they hired community organizers to build support for unionizing campaigns among churches and other potential allies.
Of necessity, many of these campaigns are conducted in arenas far removed from the workplaces the unions seek to organize. Some require the intense involvement of the workers seeking union status. Some don't. What sometimes emerges is a kind of top-down, "let's make a deal" unionism that results in an agreement covering workers who may not even have been aware that the unionization campaign was under way. …

The family that weighs together, stays togetherthat's what the Hoover family says. Between the three of them, they've lost a combined 500 poundsand they're still losing weight.
Matthew Hoover can now fit both legs into one pant leg of his old jeanslast August, he was creeping towards 400 pounds.
Diagnosed with hypothyroidism and high blood pressure, at 24, he didn't want to have the same obesity-related illnesses his parents suffered from. His father was taking insulin shots for diabetes and his mother was taking 48 pills a dayjust to survive.
Weight loss surgery surges as obesity rates rise.
"The weightI couldn't breathe I couldn't take a few steps without taking my rescue inhaler," Hoover said.
The entire family decided to have gastric bypass surgery at the Meritus Medical Center in Hagerstown, Maryland. Michelle Hoover lost 218 pounds and credits her doctors with saving her life.
"He had told me that he didn't think I'd live to see 50 because of the weight and I was getting sicker by the day," Michelle said.
Following the surgery, her husband is now off all his medications.
Gastric bypass surgery involves stapling the stomach to create a pouchno larger than a golf ball. Part of the bowel is then attached to the pouchallowing food to pass right to the intestines
"The surgery works, but not forever. We tell people the surgery is a tool. Helps you eat less and lose weight, and learn a new lifestyle," said Dr. Jeffrey Small of the Meritus Bariatric Center.
Dr. Small says doctors are researching families like the Hoovers to see how genetics play a role in obesity.
"Unfortunately it's becoming a big issue for our country. We don't seem to be finding a way to stop it and slow it down," Dr. Small said.
Insurance covered the cost of the surgeriesnow, the family is in a support group, and they work with dieticians to maintain healthy eating habits. Plus, they also exercise. This summer's vacation involved hiking.
The surgery costs about $18,000. Though their insurance company covered it, not all do. Afterwards, there are some foods you can no longer eatand supplements have to be taken to assure you get needed vitamins and iron.

I've been adding some single leg training to my regimen
and am not sure of the correct technique.
I've been letting one leg "float" for 30 - 60 seconds, switching legs,
and then spinning with both legs for 2 minutes prior to repeating.
It takes some effort not to cheat with with the floating leg.
Should I be taking one foot off the peddle completely, or is that
effort not to cheat part of the mental training?
Your thoughts appreciated.

Celebrity Rundown
Well, the streets are a bit safer now. Amanda Bynes's driver's license has been suspended following two misdemeanor hit-and-run charges. The charges stem from two separate incidents — one on April 10 and the other on Aug. 4. That's not counting Bynes' OTHER car accident. In April she was arrested and charged with driving under the influence after she hit a cop car. Bynes faces up to a year behind bars if convicted. Now if we could only get Lindsay Lohan from behind the wheel.
Camille Grammer reportedly got $30M from her divorce from Kelsey Grammer.
Lindsay Lohan wants everyone to know she had nothing to do with Vanity Fair's controversial Tom Cruise piece.
Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, will be buried at sea.
The family on the TLC hit show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo claim they make way more than the $4,000 per episode that was reported earlier this week.

This was my first time at Theatre Coppell and to see "Blithe Spirit". It was a small theatre as I had expected but I was quite impressed by the stage setting. It was well done and really looked like well to do home! The lead characters were strong but did stumble a few times however, they did have a lot of lines. I loved the story and will see the show again when the opportunity presents itself. The volunteer staff was so friendly, helpful and welcoming.My only complaint is that the show ran 2 1/2 hours.

I've never heard of humus made without tahini. Is there a reason this recipe leaves it out?
This is just a variation of a traditional hummus, you may add tahini to this recipe and it will continue to work.

Itemizing vs. Standard Deduction: Six Tips to Help You Choose
When you file your tax return, you usually have a choice whether to itemize deductions or take the standard deduction. Before you choose, it's a good idea to figure your deductions using both methods. Then choose the one that allows you to pay the lower amount of tax. The one that results in the higher deduction amount often gives you the most benefit.

Investigators are awaiting the results of toxicology tests to determine what caused the death of actor Sylvester Stallone's 36-year-old son, Sage Stallone .
In the meantime, officials are trying to figure out how a number of large bottles of prescription pain medication ended up in Sage's home at the time of his death. According to the Los Angeles Times, it's unclear if the pills played a role in Stallone's death, but the amount of large, pharmacy-style bottles of the generic form of Vicodin was enough to warrant further investigation. An autopsy was performed on Sunday, but the details have not yet been released.
Unnamed law enforcement sources told TMZ that authorities do not believe that Sage was an addict, but that he may have been involved in the drug game. While no Vicodin pills were found in the apartment, TMZ reported that 60 "gigantic" empty prescription bottles — each capable of holding at least 500 pills — were found at the scene.
Before the news about the prescription pills leaked, Sylvester Stallone released a statement pleading for the "speculation and questionable reporting" to cease. "When a parent loses a child, there is no greater pain," he said. "Therefore I am imploring people to respect my talented son's memory and feel compassion for his loving mother Sasha. This agonizing loss will be felt for the rest of our lives. Sage was our first child and the center of our universe, and I am humbly begging for all to have my son's memory and soul left in peace."

Tens of thousands of Egyptians chanted overnight and early Tuesday against the ruling military council during a massive funeral procession for 17 Christian protesters killed in a Cairo protest.
Tens of thousands of Egyptians chanted overnight and early Tuesday against the ruling military council during a massive funeral procession for 17 Christian protesters killed in a Cairo protest.
Mourners packed the Coptic Christian Cathedral in Cairo since late Monday, filling hallways and corridors as funeral prayers were led by top assistants to Pope Shenouda III.
Slogans of "down with military rule" interrupted the prayers, as many accuse the military of bearing primary responsibility for the violence which led to the deaths of 26 people and the injury of more than 500 others on Sunday.
"The people want to topple the Marshal", the mourners chanted in reference to Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, the head of the ruling military council, which took over power on Feb. 11 after the ouster of Hosni Mubarak in a mass uprising.

Most Read Stories
The slain protesters were marching toward Cairo's television headquarters when they came under attack. Forensic reports said many deaths were caused by armored vehicles that ran down protesters, or by gunshots.
The military, on the other hand, issued a stern warning that it intended to crack down hard on future protests.
In a statement, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces said it would take the "necessary precautions to stabilize security" and use the full weight of the law to prosecute individuals involved in violence, whether by participation or incitement.
After the cathedral service, a small protest marched to central Cairo's Tahrir Square accompanying the body of Mena Danial, one of the activists killed on Sunday. Danial's friends said that he had wanted to have his funeral in Tahrir Square, the epicenter of the Jan. 25 uprising that toppled Mubarak.
Forensic reports published in the press showed that the 20-year-old activist died of a gunshot to his back.
The bodies of the protesters were buried in a church-owned mass grave in the 6th of October suburb in the desert west of Cairo.
Egypt's Coptic Church has denounced the killings and accused the government of allowing repeated attacks on Christians to go unpunished. The church announced three days of fasting and prayers as Christians' sense of injustice hit a new high.
One priest said that the fast was a means of showing loss of confidence in the authorities, and had not been invoked by the church since former President Anwar Sadat's program of Islamizing laws during the 1970s.
Some Muslims said that they would join the Christians in their fast as a gesture of solidarity. A campaign named "Fast4Egypt" spread on social networking sites.
Sunday's violence was the deadliest incident involving Christians since the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak eight months ago.
(This version CORRECTS that assistants to Pope Shenouda, and not the pope, led prayers.)

ACS focuses growth strategy on business broadband, services [Alaska Journal of Commerce, Anchorage :: ]
(Alaska Journal of Commerce (Anchorage) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Aug. 13--Alaska Communications Systems Group Inc. saw a decrease in revenue for the second quarter of 2014, while growing some segments of its business.
Revenue for the second quarter of 2014 were $80.5 million, down from $97.7 million in the second quarter of 2013.
Alaska Communications stock closed at $1.76 Aug. 11, less than the $3.79 it was going for on Aug. 12, 2013, and lower than the 52-week high of $3.86.
This is the second quarter in a row of decreased revenue -- during the first quarter of 2014, revenue was down $12.7 million year-over-year, which the company attributed largely to changes from the new Alaska Wireless Network.
ACS and General Communication Inc., or GCI, merged their infrastructure into the Alaska Wireless Network, or AWN, in July 2013, although they still sell separate retail products. The merger has continued to affect the two companies' bottom lines.
GCI owns two-thirds of the company and Alaska Communications owns one-third.
CEO Anand Vadapalli said the company remains focused on creating value by growing broadband revenue and EBITDA and reducing debt, and is successful in all three of those areas.
Vadapalli discussed the company's second quarter results during an Aug. 7 investor call. The quarterly results were announced Aug. 6.
"Overall, we are doing well against our operating plan for the year, and leading the industry in growth," Vadapalli said, referring to broadband.
Business broadband revenue was $11 million for second quarter 2014, about an 11 percent increase compared to the second quarter of 2013. Total business and wholesale revenue also increased, at $27.7 million for the second quarter of 2014, up about 9 percent compared to the second quarter of 2013.
Business broadband connections increased from 19,104 to 19,618 year-over-year.
On the consumer side, total revenue for the quarter was $10.4 million, about a 1 percent increase compared to the second quarter of 2013. Consumer broadband revenue was $6.2 million, about an 11 percent increase compared to the second quarter of 2013.
Consumer broadband connections decreased compared to the prior quarter, with about 39,022 connections as of June 30 this year, compared to 39,468 as of March 31, although they increased year-over-year from 37,611 at the end of second quarter 2013.
CFO Wayne Graham said the change in consumer connections was related to a change in available products.
As it did in the prior quarter, Alaska Communications' net income also decreased. Second quarter 2014 net income was about $1 million, less than the $37.6 million in net income the company reported for the second quarter of 2013. However, it was an improvement from the first quarter of 2014, when net income was a loss of $385,000.
Vadapalli said the company landed multiple contracts during the second quarter that will boost future performance. One was a multi-year contract with a large national carrier to build strategic fiber facilities for a federal customer; that was based on technical superiority and relationships, not on providing the lowest price, he noted.
Alaska Communications also extended a relationship with an Alaska-based financial institution to provide connectivity between its Alaska and Lower 48 data center operations, Vadapalli said. And, the company extended its relationship to provide networks to a rural health care provider, he said.
Vadapalli said the company would look toward the business sector, particularly managed services and its TekMate subsidiary, for future growth. For the second quarter of 2014, Graham said TekMate contributed $900,000 to the company's revenue.
Vadapalli also reaffirmed the company's 2014 performance guidance, although he noted that capital spending would likely by $40 to $45 million instead of $40 million as a result of the fiber project. The payments for that will cover the additional costs, however, he noted, so there will be no impact to free cash flow from the expense.
The other guidance called for revenue of $310 million for the year, an adjusted EBITDA of $90 million and free cash flow of $20 million.
ACS is also continuing its work paying down debt.
Graham said the company has made $17.3 million in debt payments so far this year, with net debt at $411.2 million, down from a high of more than $650 million before the AWN merger with GCI.
In response to an investor question, Graham said the company would also look at possible refinancing when term loans are due in 2016; good debt markets and strong company performance would likely help that, he said.

The official source of information on Managed Providers, DataSet & Entity Framework from Microsoft
The information in this post is out of date.
Visit msdn.com/data/ef for the latest information on current and past releases of EF.
For Code First Migrations see http://msdn.com/data/jj591621
We have released the first preview of our migrations story for Code First development; Code First Migrations August 2011 CTP. This release includes an early preview of the developer experience for incrementally evolving a database as your Code First model evolves over time.
Please be sure to read the 'Issues & Limitations' section of the announcement post before using migrations.
This post will provide an overview of the functionality that is available inside of Visual Studio for interacting with migrations. This post assumes you have a basic understanding of the Code First functionality that was included in EF 4.1, if you are not familiar with Code First then please complete the Code First Walkthrough.
public class Person { public int PersonId { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public string Email { get; set; } }.
What Changes Can Migrations Detect Automatically?
In this section we looked at adding a property, here is the full list of changes that migrations can take care of automatically:
So far we have looked at changes that migrations can infer without any additional information, now let's take a look at renaming properties and classes.
public class Person { public int PersonId { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public string EmailAddress { get; set; } }
The renames parameter is a comma separated list of renames and can include class and property renames. Class renames use the same format as property renames i.e. –Renames:"Person=>Customer".
Up until now we've let migrations take care of working out what SQL to execute. Now let's take a look at how we can take control when we need to do something more complex.
Call for Feedback: From what we are seeing in our own internal use we don't anticipate that custom scripts will be required very often. However, our efforts are somewhat sheltered from the 'real world' so we would love feedback on situations where you need to use custom scripts. In particular we are interested if there are significant scenarios where a code based alternative to writing raw SQL would be beneficial.
public class Person { public int PersonId { get; set; } public string EmailAddress { get; set; } public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } }
Run the 'Update-Database' command to bring the database up to date
With our custom script complete we can go back to using the automatic upgrade functionality, until we find the need to take control again. Migrations allows you to swap between automatic upgrade and custom scripts as needed. The Source.xml file associated with each custom script allows migrations to reproduce the same migration steps we have performed against other databases.
So far we have only made changes that avoid data loss but let's take a look at how we can let an automatic migration execute even when it detects that data loss will occur.
public class Person { public int PersonId { get; set; } public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } }
In this walkthrough we saw an overview of the functionality included in the first preview of Code First Migrations. We saw automatic migrations, including property and class renames as well as migrating with data loss. We also saw how to use custom scripts to take control of parts of the migration process. We really want your feedback on what we have so far so please try it out and let us know what you like and what needs improving.

I read something the other day in my Bible, and I just can't get past it. I'm probably going to upset the apple cart with this, but I'd rather put it out there for discussion (civil discussion, mind you) than keep it to myself and let it fester.
From the Apostle John:
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world–the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life–is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away, along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
David Platt covers this so well in his book, Radical: Taking Back Your Faith From the American Dream, but in reading this passage of Scripture over and over again as I study 1 John, I keep coming back to the phrase "the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life."
In other places, that last phrase is translated "pride in your lifestyle" or "pride in your possessions and resources."
That's a good many of us Christians. It may manifest itself in a number of ways, but there are an awful lot of us that are really proud of our possessions and lifestyle. Whether we're bragging about our new car or quietly fuming over the fact that we "pay for welfare Cadillacs", or even if we're decrying someone else's excess of wealth while secretly wishing for more ourselves, there is a lot of concern about money–who has it and how it's spent.
Just Google "Buffet Rule" or "Class Warfare" to see what I'm talking about.
I'm not against money. I'm not against anyone having money. And honestly, I would love to have more of it myself. So this isn't screed against the wealthy, or a diatribe against the 2%. It's not even about the desire that so often compels us as human beings to want more than we need, give less than we should, and feel a sense of self-satisfaction in what we have earned by our hard work.
I'm against the pride that makes us say, "What's mine is mine, and nobody gets any unless I say so."
It's not about taxes, because I'm not too fond of them myself. It's not about how much a person does or doesn't give to the charity/charities of one's own choosing. It's not about me telling you what to do with your money.
If we're Christians, then we know from reading Scripture that everything we have comes from God. Every good and perfect gift. Every dollar in our paycheck. Every piece of fried chicken in the bucket. We may have gone out and labored for it, but that doesn't change the fact that it comes from God. And as such, God gets to say what we do with it.
Only we often choose to ignore Him. We talk about what we've earned. We talk about what's ours. We talk about the things we've built or the chances we've taken or the skill that we've employed to build up what we do have. And it's not just the super-rich; it seems to be more pervasive amongst those of us who don't really have that much to begin with. Scarcity breeds ferocity, it seems. I know in my house, the decision over whether or not to give to a charity or mission cause can often be the subject of much debate–with me being the one opposing "frivolous" gifts.
But I have no bones about going to get a pizza if I don't feel like cooking.
Did you know there are over 300 verses in the Bible that have to do with the poor, orphans, widows, or other forms of social justice? That there are at least 100 verses about just the poor?
Did you pay attention when Jesus, for his first official message as a rabbi, quoted Isaiah 61:1-2 as the central truth about His ministry?
Did you get as uncomfortable as I did when Jesus said, "Whatever you didn't do for the least of these, you didn't do for me"?
I say all this because it keeps popping up in my reading, this condemnation of unhealthy attitudes towards possessions. When I think that my material possessions are mine to do with as I please–not the church, not the government, not the pushy TV charities, but ME–I've fallen into exactly what John was writing against.
Namely, pride.
We may dislike the way the government doles out money to those seen as disadvantaged, but if we were handing out ourselves they wouldn't have to, would they? We may rail against the bailout of big businesses on the basis of anti-sentiment towards fat cats whose ethics drove those businesses to the brink, but what about the fact that those same bailouts helped keep several thousand middle-lower income folks employed? We may sneer at the illegal immigrant getting a free education via our public school system, but what are we doing to otherwise help them improve themselves and become productive citizens?
What are we doing to help those that God commands us to help?
You can write me off as a hippie, a liberal, a socialist or whatever else you want, but the fact of the matter is the majority attitude of many American Christians with regard to money and possessions and what to do with them is out of line with God. And it's led to a compassion deficit in so many other places, a deficit far greater than the financial one we face as a nation.
Because it's the dearth of compassion that fuels our desires for more; it's the lack of love that makes us greedy to get what we can when we can and to hold on to no matter the cost to our neighbor. You want to see what almost killed the free market system in America, look no further than Christians who were willing to violate the commands of God in order to line their own pockets.
And now that I'm thinking about it, that compassion deficit reveals an even greater deficit–in our faith in God.
Either God is who He says He is and I believe it, or I am the final authority for my life. Kanye and Jay-Z may watch the throne, but for many of us Christians, there's no question who's seated there.
We are.
But only in our illusions. In reality the Scripture says that God, the Holy, Almighty, Sovereign God sits on the throne, and that His Son is seated at His right hand, interceding on our behalf. God rules. God reigns.
Would that we would listen.

This week has been so much fun! Last week we were in universal studios, and this week we went to St. George island and rented a house. Everyday I went surfing. I also celebrated my 21st birthday. My dad got me a bunch of vodka in different flavors. We also went to a restaurant called the Blue Parrot and I got a drink called Orange Dreamsicle. It was spiked with rum. My mom and I did some shopping, and I bought some turtle shells. We also went kayaking in our back yard and went crabbing!

WASHINGTON - Janet Jackson's Super Bowl exposure was "a new low for prime-time television," the government's chief broadcast regulator told lawmakers Wednesday.
The Super Bowl halftime show featured a duet by Jackson and Justin Timberlake that ended with Timberlake tearing off part of Jackson's top and exposing her right breast to 90 million TV viewers. The singers said the incident was an accident and have apologized, but it has fueled calls for the government to pay more attention to what goes out on the nation's airwaves.
The Federal Communications Commission has received more than 200,000 complaints about the halftime show.
"The now infamous display during the Super Bowl halftime show, which represented a new low in prime-time television, is just the latest example in a growing list of deplorable incidents over the nation's airwaves," FCC Chairman Michael Powell told the Senate Commerce Committee.
Powell was joined by the four other FCC commissioners, all of whom have called for tougher penalties against broadcasters who violated indecency laws.
Powell told lawmakers the commission has aggressively gone after violators and would start doing more, including fining broadcasters for each incident rather than each program, and revoking licenses of some serial violators.
And he said he has asked broadcasters and cable operators to take steps to curb indecent and other inappropriate programming.
"Action must be taken by the entire television and radio industry to heed the public's outcry and take affirmative steps to curb the race to the bottom," Powell said. "This industry simply must help clean up its own room."
After appearing before the committee, all five commissioners were heading for the other side of the Capitol and an encore performance in front of the House telecommunications subcommittee.
Before the commissioners arrived, the House panel was to hear from Paul Tagliabue, commissioner of the National Football League; and Mel Karmazin, president of Viacom Inc., owner of both CBS, which aired the halftime show, and MTV, which produced it.
In addition to Jackson's display, the show featured provocative dancing and lyrics laced with sexual innuendo.
In prepared testimony, Tagliabue apologized and said the NFL should have done more to ensure the program was suitable for a prime-time audience.
"The show that MTV produced this year fell far short of the NFL's expectations of tasteful, first-class entertainment," he said.
Karmazin also apologized, saying in prepared testimony, "Although we are proud of 99 percent of what people saw on CBS last Sunday, we understand what a difference one percent can make."
Last month, the FCC proposed a record $755,000 fine against Clear Channel Communications, the nation's largest radio station chain, for the "Bubba the Love Sponge" program aired on four of its Florida outlets.
Legislation to increase the fines for indecency from $27,500 per incident to $275,000 has been introduced in both houses of Congress.
"CBS gave everyone on the FCC, everyone in Congress, every parents' organization, every parent a slap in the face and said, 'Go to hell,'" said L. Brent Bozell III, president of the Parents Television Council, a conservative advocacy group.
"The wake-up alarm went off at the FCC," Bozell said. "Now what you're seeing are the commissioners taking a very strong public position on this."
It's not only the commissioners that are angry.
"They knew that this was beneath the standards, including CBS running some lewd and crude commercials during the Super Bowl," said House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas. "Everybody has got egg on their face."
While criticizing Viacom, Congress last month voted to allow the company to own more television stations. Bowing to a veto threat from President Bush, lawmakers agreed to let companies like Viacom to own television stations reaching 39 percent of the viewing public, rather than 35 percent.
The FCC says it has stepped up enforcement of indecency rules. But the agency's enforcement bureau last December declined to fine NBC for airing an expletive uttered by rock star Bono during the 2003 Golden Globe Awards show. The commission is considering whether to overrule the bureau in that case.

I noticed that a portion of my WP site wasn't working, suddenly without me touching it ( http://www.qrow.com/gallery/ ). I looked for a solution through WP support documents and found the "terribly broken" artical ( http://wordpress.org/development/2004/12/terribly-broken/ ) which seemed to reflect my situation. I contacted my host as recomended who've said to check if the version of WP i was using was compliant with their version of PHP. I wasn't sure why that'd matter since WP's requirments are "PHP 4.2 or greater". My host uses PHP 4.4.2. I then noticed that the artical in question was fairly old. At the time i was using WP 2.0 but then upgraded to 2.0.3 with no change.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why it's doing this, or how i might be able to fix it? this is the information my host sent me:
PHP 4.4.2 (cli) (built: May 30 2006 16:27:58)
Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies
with Zend Extension Manager v1.0.9, Copyright (c) 2003-2006, by Zend Technologies
with Zend Optimizer v2.6.2, Copyright (c) 1998-2006, by Zend Technologies
I have a feeling it is an issue with my host but have not idea how to go about addressing it, or if they'll even do anything to fix it.
Thanks for any help.

Video of Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch Receiver with Drawbar - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4"
Videos are provided As a guide only. Refer To manufacturer
installation instructions And specs For complete information.
Today we're going to take a look at and show you how to install the Hidden HItch custom fit trailer hitch receiver with draw bar. This is a class two 1-1/4" hitch. Its part number is 90108. Here's what the hitch is going to look like once you get it installed on your vehicle. It's got that square tube design so it's nice and symmetrical going across, small plate here that protects the underside of the vehicle. With this being a class two you'll have a lot of different accessories that are going to work out great for this hitch: cargo carriers, bike racks, ball mounts of course. They're all going to work fine.
You've got the extra collar here which works great with a hitch immobilizer. Standard class two pin; it's going to slide through. It does come with the pin so you won't have to worry about picking that up. The hitch itself is going to offer a 300 pound gross tongue weight rating or a 3,500 pound gross trailer weight rating. Now of course you'll look into the Escape's manual, determine what its weight limits are, and off of whichever of those are the lowest. Now the hitch offers a really easy installation.
It's just a matter of getting four bolts up into place and then putting a washer and a nut on there. Now I'm going to give you just a couple of measurements that will help you in selecting your bike rack, ball mount, or maybe cargo carrier. From the ground to the inside edge of the top of our receiver tube opening we've got about 17-1/4". From the center of our hitch pinhole to the outermost edge of our bumper it's about even. Let's take a look at at our mounting locations so you can see that we're going to have two here on the inside of the passenger frame rail and two here on the driver side in the exact same spot right inside the frame rail here. We'll be getting to those from the back of the frame rail. There's going to be an opening here and an opening here to allow us to slide our bolts up and in. Here on the driver side we're going to start with the rearmost hole.
We'll place our fish wire in the hole and then direct it back towards the rear of the vehicle. You can see it's going to pop out right out of that location we pointed out. Now we want to slide our spacer block on, and we'll follow that up by threading on our 1/2" carriage bolt. Now we'll feed these up into our hole separately. There's the block; get it up and in and then we'll follow that up with our bolt.
Now let's just let that hang out for now and we'll go to the passenger side where we'll do the same thing. We'll give this the same treatment. It will get the spacer block and the carriage bolt. Get the block up and in, then our bolt. Now we're ready to grab our hitch. Now when putting it up into position it's a good idea to get you an extra set of hands to help you hold it. Then we'll feed our fish wire from the outside of our hitch towards the inside and then just use that to guide us up to our hole location. Once we get there let's pull through our bolt and our block just like that. Now that will support the hitch for us easily. I wouldn't rely on it 100% but . Then we can remove our fish wire here. Now hang onto your fish wire. You'll need it for your other bolt as well. Then we're going to place on a conical tooth washer. The teeth of the washer are going to face in towards the hitch. Then we'll thread on one of the hex bolts. Now let's go over to our passenger side and do the same thing. Those are our front two bolts. That will hold the hitch into position while we get our next set of bolts going. We'll do just the same thing we did. Pull our fish wire out towards the back here. Then we'll add our spacer and our bolt. Just like before, feed them in separately. Then we can draw them on through using our pull wire. Then we'll head on over to the driver side and do that one more time for our final bolt. With those snugged down we can take a quick look and be sure our hitch is centered. Now we'll go through and tighten each of our nuts down. Then we'll grab our torque wrench and torque them down to specifications. That specification you can find in your instruction manual. That will complete today's look at the Hidden Hitch custom fit class two receiver, part number 90108, on our 2012 Ford Escape. .

2011 Escape Bike hitch and wiring harness. Videos were extremely helpful. Installed yesterday after a week in bed with a virus. It helps when your neighbor has a body shop (tools) and can come haul you out from under the car if he doesn't see any movement in 15 min. Have some extra wire ties handy and you will be ok. I put two coats of etching primer and 2 more coats of white automotive enamel on my hitch so it would match my body paint. If you are working by yourself , do the front two bolts first , lift the hitch ( w/ draw bar in) up on a bucket with some shims until the back holes line up then cinch them up. This is my second e-trailer hitch I,ve done, won't go anywhere else. 85618
The hitch has been everything I expected. I have used it mainly as a bike hauler and for a cargo rack. I painted mine white to match the Ford Escape and I have a problem where the safety chains attach. They scrape all the paint off showing the black, but a little touch up once in awhile solves the problem. I just dont like to see rust stains forming around the welds. I would buy this product again.Cap n - 06/24/2014

This is a nice hitch, planning on using it for a bike rack and a little come-behind trailer. My ordering experience was excellent: shortly after the initial order, I realized I needed to change something. Called and it was taken care of quickly and easily. Great customer service! It also shipped and arrived quickly. Installation was also straightforward on my 2010 Escape. It took me slightly over an hour. You will want a second pair of hands to lift and hold while youre fitting the bolts if youre solo, Id suggest planning out your propping method because the hitch is fairly heavy. The fish wires work very well. However, the bolt head would not fit through the access hole on my Escape. Once I realized I could put it through head-first and then it would reverse itself while in the shaft, it was good. Also I needed a 3/4 socket not 7/8 as the instructions said. But hey, its done and looks good. Cant wait to tow something! 77022

Yes, I received the hitch a few days ago, and actually, I just had it installed this morning by my mechanic. So far, it's working great. I've attached two pictures. I appreciate the quality product and great customer service. Have a good day! 98130
by: lloyd forrer08/13/2011
very happy both hitches were good quality and everthing i needed to install was part of the package. they fit nicely, only thing was i wish i would have got 2 of the hidden hitch plugs instead of 1 i think it looks nice in the kia soul, but no big deal. overall excellent service, excellent fast shipping, and excellent product. thanks lloyd 21801
by: LarryK05/16/2011
Great Experience. My son and I had it installed on my 2010 Escape Hybrid in 20 minutes and that included looking for the right socket for the torque wrench. Ordering was easy and delivery quick. Just in time to put my new hitch and wire to work. Thank you 14229
by: Gary B10/23/2013
A one half hour install by myself thanks to the great video! My only problem was that I didn't have a deep socket for my torque wrench but got by with the closest metric size. Delivery was one day earlier than projected too. 104880

text: Posted 9 Aug 2013 The spirit of your bullshit posting all summer was that the suspensions didn't matter and the saints would be in the playoffs if not division champions regardless. All of us remember and that wasn't necessarily a direct reference to that other shithead. So now it's not what I said but "the spirit" of what I said!? It's only 5 pages back if you want to read, I said I thought the team would be fine without Payton specifically bc Carmichael was still around and between him and Brees they should get the offense performing close to normal. The biggest concern with Payton missing was Offense because he play calls and wouldn't you know that we ended up with almost 30 points a game, #1 pass offense, #2 overall offense, so basically I was right. The unknown and overlooked was defense because we never needed a great defense to win it all, but nobody ever expected it would be so bad on defense, but Spags scheme was completely wrong for team. I did also speak of a Sophomore slump for Cam I got crucified for, sure didn't have any problems getting Panther fans agree with me 2/3 of way into season.
