text: Elizabeth Romney | 56 | Business owner | Seattle, Washington CARE site: Poipet, Cambodia Why did you choose CARE? I'm part of a group called the Northwest Women's Initiative for Education. We were drawn to CARE because education for girls is one of their primary goals. I personally believe that you can change the world by educating girls. What does your group do? We set up a micro-lending bank that funds educational programs in Guatemala, Cambodia, and Kabul. Parents can send their kids to school with the money. There's a direct connection between our actions here and what's happening halfway around the world. Where did you go? In 2005, we traveled with CARE to Cambodia. It's a poor country comprised of tiny villages where homes sit on stilts above water because it rains six months out the year. Some girls had to swim to school or take boats because the flooding was so bad. It's much harder to get girls to school because they need to help at home while the boys are being educated. But CARE supports schools for both sexes. We watched as girls between the ages of 11 and 13 learned basic arithmetic, reading, and writing skills. How does an education help a girl? Knowing how to read and write makes them less vulnerable to rape, abuse, and slavery. They will be more likely to get jobs in their home village where they are safe and less likely to move to a big city like Phnom Penh for factory work, where they become sitting ducks. Some girls become qualified for CARE scholarships so that they can continue their studies beyond the primary level. For every year of education you give a girl, the infant mortality rate goes down, the number of children they have goes down, and the family income goes up. How have you been inspired? When you ask girls in Cambodia what they want to be when they grow up, they say a teacher or a nurse. They have no concept of the jobs we have in the U.S. They're just thrilled to be going to school. I was inspired by how hopeful they were. They didn't view their lives as squalid or terrible. What are your plans now? My group is continuing to raise money to fund the educational programs, like the Option Program, which gives girls social skills in critical decision making so that they're not scammed into joining brothels or human trafficking rings. We recently hosted the CARE country director from Cambodia to visit Seattle so she could teach our community about what's going on where she works. Next year, we plan on going back to visit more schools and factories. How can we help? CARE's scholarships cost $12.60 a year. This covers books, pencils, and a school uniform. I sent my son to a private school for $25,000 a year. If you only make $1 a day, $12.60 is a huge sum. I sit awake at night thinking of the kids who won't go to school for the lack of that money. Giving money can help people have a better life. What do you say to people who think you should only help women in the U.S.? The world is too small for that. What happens to people in the world affects us. What happened on September 11th is a good example of that. Poverty breeds desperation. The biggest bang you can get for your buck is educating girls. Where Your Money Goes in Cambodia Bumper backpack: $30 Includes chalk, pencils, crayons, paints, glues, scissors, and workbooks School furniture: $60 A table with two benches for four students Books: $90 Dictionaries translated into the native language, Khmer Books for an entire school: $360 Support a student: $200 Send a child to school for one year (includes support for teachers' salaries and school infrastructure) Train a teacher: $1,900 Support training for one yearLearn more about CARE Join the CARE MORE Giving Circle Challenge Originally published on MORE.com, October 2007.

Webroot Support separates itself from every other endpoint provider through its seamlessly integrated in-product support process, which is available 24x7x365 and at no additional charge. Of course, customers can also communicate and engage with Webroot's technical support team through email, phone and the community forum.
Video: Fully Integrated In- Product Support
Webroot SecureAnywhere® Support was designed from the ground-up to eliminate many of the Support issues companies have been conditioned to accept. We have architected a high degree of automation into our processes, in order to help customers avoid having to make Support calls in the first place. Our goal is to minimize customer wait time and shorten the overall duration of a call if required.
While the ability to call Support is always available, our customers normally choose to open a ticket from within Webroot SecureAnywhere - due to the added efficiency, speed, and thoroughness of the resolution provided.
Administrators can open a ticket directly from the web-based management console, or also enable end- users to open their own support tickets from the Webroot SecureAnywhere system tray icon on their endpoints.
This was the best, most pleasant, and best resolved support situation I have ever encountered.
Behind the scenes, Webroot® is already in motion to facilitate a solution. Endpoints can be configured to automatically upload log files to Webroot for rapid analysis and response. This proactive approach to incidents allows Webroot to assess the situation, and often remediate the issue, within a few minutes of submission. We are already fully-armed with license, system, and endpoint log and scan information to identify root-cause, and help our customers achieve a fast resolution.
Another unique aspect of Webroot Support is a feature of Webroot SecureAnywhere's cloud architecture. Unlike legacy solutions that rely on the development of patches or special signature updates, real- time changes may easily be made during a support engagement with Webroot. For instance, it is possible for Webroot Support to correct an agent determination and instantly have the customer's agents reflect that change without having to go through any other tedious processes.
With Webroot SecureAnywhere, Customers and Technical Support no longer waste valuable time gathering information. Through automation and streamlined process flows, everyone is able to squarely focus their attention on speedily resolving any issues at hand.

This superlative wellness destination with its spacious parks and wealth of opportunities for connecting with nature is tailor-made for extended health breaks.
A powerful combination of heritage, experience and research has enabled Bad Nauheim to become the centre of medicine that it is today. Modern clinics and highly effective therapeutic facilities guarantee the highest possible medical standards.
An exceptional culture of cooperation
On the Kerckhoff campus, specialist clinics of international standing collaborate with the Max Planck Institute's Heart and Lung Research Centre. This complex of cardiovascular and lung clinics, unique in Germany, provides patients with comprehensive care for a wide range of clinical symptoms. Meanwhile, at the internationally recognised sports clinic, top performers such as Michael Schumacher receive individual treatments.
The versatility of the spring water
Bad Nauheim's 150-year medical heritage is founded, however, on the presence of mineral-rich spring water, which is used for traditional bathing and drinking cures and also serves the warm, bubbling pools at the Therme am Park. Five salt evaporation works prepare the saltwater, releasing very fine saltwater droplets that soothe the mucus membranes of the respiratory tract. The inhalatorium enables visitors to enjoy a concentrated dose of this healthy 'sea' breeze. A host of cultural events use the town's art nouveau thermal baths as a magnificent backdrop, and crowds of visitors flock to Bad Nauheim's fantastic festivals. Nestled within the lush, rolling landscape of the low-lying Taunus mountains surrounded by the Wetterau countryside, Bad Nauheim can offer an extensive range of outdoor activities.

bricked gigabeat S60...YAY
I bought a Toshiba Gigabeat S60 on newegg.com like 2 years ago. Every few months I would check the status of the rockbox port for the S series. Once progress began to speed, I began checking about once a month. Finally, last month, I was pleased to see that the build had a good level of functionality. (Now it is even better than then)
I was in Linux at the time but it was late and I didn't feel like compiling any of the tools even though it isn't much of a bother, so I rebooted to windows xp. I my internet connection was down after I rebooted, but luckily I had all the files I needed and I had written down the steps I needed to use to flash the firmware.
I accidentally used sendfirm to send the unmodified nkbin instead of the merged file. I unplug the gigabeat from the usb connector, and it resets. I realize my error. It just shows a Toshiba splash screen that doesn't go away.
I hooked it up and Windows wouldn't recognize it since its firmware was replaced.
I rebooted into one of my Linux installations, tried lsusb, and the device wasn't listed, so I knew I was kind of screwed.
I've kept the gigabeat out of my sight since then until today. I'm not sure how I can possibly flash it without having usb access. And I tried pressing win button+ left direction pad to go into recovery mode, but that doesn't appear to work without the original firmware.
I know there is the serial interface on the bottom of the player, but If i recall correctly it wont help you any. I read somewhere (i think on here) that someone took a dock from an F-series gigabeat and it worked with their S if they dremeled the sides off. Is there anyway I can get access to re-flash with either rockbox or the original firmware in the state my gigabeat is in?
And note to self, never try flashing firmware at like 3 am.
Thanks for any insights any of you may have.
|[Remove Advertisement]
I've also made the mistake of using the sendfirm utility to upload the unmodded nk.bin, to my player. However, I never had my player get stuck at the Gigabeat logo - the worst I had was that the player would go into firmware restore mode.
Have you tried to take the player apart? Maybe you need to unplug the hard drive and try that to get it into restore mode? Or, maybe the drive needs to be wiped (not using your player, but possibly a ZIF drive enclosure). I was reasonably sure that the .bin gets loaded from the hard drive so, conceivably, wiping the drive should get you back to square one.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was considering taking the drive out, but I knew it was best to ask on here before I did anything retarded. I need to find a screwdriver small enough to open my gigabeat first, and I'll try your idea of unhooking the drive. Then I'll try getting a ZIF enclosure if that doesn't work.
Plus if I do that, then I should be able to install rockbox alot more easily, too.

Getting to the drive is somewhat easy - 5 screws (the four you can see, and then one hidden where the lanyard hole is, on the back cover).
Once opened, you need to remove one cable connecting to the back cover. There's a small latch at the bottom that you can flip up with a small regular screwdriver to get it loose (don't force it out - I made that mistake). As for the ZIF drive - if you've never seen one, there's a small black latch where the cable connects to the drive - you need to flip that up to get the cable loose. I use my thumbnail, or I suppose a small screwdriver would work. Again, don't force it out. And, of course, make a note of where all the connectors were when you reassemble (again, I made that mistake the first time). :-)

have you tried forcing bootloader?
switch the battery switch to off position
in the + button hold the left button and the menu button, then plug in the power cable. it will tell you it will need (repair/restore) download the software from toshiba's site and reflash the origional software.
good luck, (it worked for me)

Perfect Fit
Reviewed By Corey E (Derby, CT) Reviewed for a 2013 Jeep Wrangler —8/15/2014 2:55 AM
I installed this under the ARB deluxe bull bar and it fits perfectly. Heavy duty construction but not overly heavy in terms of total weight. Easy install was able to do it by myself but would make easier to have a helper to hold it in place. no drilling just 2 bolts and done.

We all know the Beard is rocking the NBA world right now, but Jeff is making a living as well in the NBA playoffs. Despite getting hurt a year ago and having to sit out a whole year, he is back carving out his niche with the Indiana Pacers.
At the end of the year, he got a start and produced. And he has been one of the best team guys in the NBA this year.
Included in a story is this quote from his head coach.
He's got one of the best attitudes I've ever
coached, ever been around in the NBA."
None of this is shocking. In his four years here in addition to setting Sun Devil records for games played (126) and started (120) he notched 1,588 career points. His senior year he led the nation in field goal percentage but also led the team in charges taken in junior and senior seasons with 31. Not once during that 15-game losing streak back in his sophomore year did he complain or pout about doing postgame interviews, and he looked at it as a way to tell the story of the program and educate fans on the building process. He earned his B.A. in economics. He basically was one of the most efficient Sun Devil athletes in the past two decades both on the playing field/court and off.
So a shout out to Jeff as he continues to prove his worth in the NBA. One thing is for sure...attitude won't be a problem. When speaking of role models coming from Arizona State, it is easy to point to people like Anthony Robles or Pat Tillman or Hillary Bach.
Toss Jeff in that list. He deserves it.
We have Omar Bolden, lots of women's golf including the 1995 undefeated season, Devin Marshall, Michelle Brycki and Jahii Carson just to name a few good Sun Devils all appearing below...

Shon Clinches NCAA Finals Berth, Program's First Since '97
Kelly Shon became the first Princeton women's golfer in 16 years to clinch a berth in the NCAA women's golf championship Saturday.
With another red round, her third in as many days in the tournament, Shon finished second in the field of 126 golfers at the NCAA East Regional at the Auburn University Club in Alabama.
"She played so well, and she did this against the kind of competition and under the same kind of conditions she's going to be facing in the next tournament," Princeton head coach Nicki Cutler said.
The top eight teams advance, and then the top two players not on one of those eight teams also get a bid to the NCAA finals. Those bids went to Shon, who shot a 71, 68 and 70 to finish at -7 for the weekend, and to Tennessee's Erica Popson, who defeated teammate Chessey Thomas and North Carolina's Jackie Chang in a playoff. That trio finished tied for eighth at 3-under.
Shon entered the day tied for fourth in the field. She bogeyed the first and third holes and made par on the rest of the front nine, but the back nine was where the Princeton junior made up ground. She birdied the 10th, 13th, 14th and 16th holes while making par on the rest after the turn.
Shon said the turning point of her round came on the ninth hole after coming up short on an approach shot on that par-4.
"I was frustrated, but I just decided to forget about my score and play for Princeton and for the people who are rooting for me back home," Shon said. "(The bid) means what it means. It means that I'm going to be playing in the NCAA Championship, and I know it's a big accomplishment."
Shon's finish is the highest ever for a Princeton women's golfer in an NCAA Regional. Mary Moan '97, who placed fifth at the NCAA East Regional hosted by Illinois State in 1997, tied for fifth at 13-over. Shon also beat her previous Princeton record for the best finish to par in an NCAA tournament, bettering the 6-over finish she had a year ago at the Penn State-hosted East Regional.
Alabama won the regional team title by eight shots over Tulane, and the Crimson Tide's Stephanie Meadow was the only player to finish higher than Shon, coming in at 13-under for the tournament. Meadow is ranked as the No. 2 college women's player in the country on the latest Golfweek list.
Moan, and now Shon, are the only Princeton players to play in the NCAA finals, whether as a team or an individual, since the program gained varsity status for the 1991-92 school year.
The NCAA finals will be hosted by Georgia May 21-24 at the Bulldogs' campus course.

The Center for Community Engagement & Learning offers many ways for faculty to become involved with community engaged learning and research at UAA.
Snapshot of Faculty & Community Engagement Opportunities for 2015-16
Hear what some faculty members have said about why they got involved in community-engaged teaching and research projects:
"Service learning enabled me as a teacher to transition with students from 'the world's problems are too many and depressing' to 'the world's problems are solvable!"
Professor Dorn Van Dommelen teaches GEOG/INTL 101 and partnered with Heifer International using case studies. He's exploring other partnerships now and requires students to reach out to a community and present the problems and possible solutions suggested from the case studies to combat hunger. "It's giving them something to do that's more about changing the world . . . and my teaching too!" Van Dommelen has a group of CESAs that assist in his multi-class project each year, and he has built a model to encourage student leadership.
"I try to be very strategic and open up to communities things like the free seminar series for Filipino History Month, to create opportunities for students and faculty to participate too. I try to work with organizations that satisfy my research interests but also meet a community need."
Assistant Professor Gabe Garcia has worked either himself or by mentoring graduate students with Anchorage United for Youth and The Urban League, in addition to the Copper River Health Center and several Asian Pacific Islander organizations. Garcia was nominated for the 2011 Ernest A. Lynton Award for the Scholarship of Engagement for Early Career Faculty.
"By accident, I got handed this service-learning course, and I just started. At first I tried some things that didn't work out the way I had envisioned. Now it is much smoother, and my students work with the Food Bank and do Food Stamp Outreach every semester, and I've added a Food Stamp Challenge on campus."
Associate Professor Tracey Burke participated in research for the 2005 Hunger Study and received the 2011 Selkregg Award to complete a qualitative research project on "a day in the life of" people in Anchorage who experience hunger. A Community-Engaged Student Assistant (CESA) from CCEL helps Burke to implement and monitor her class project each semester.

Born on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio in 1942, Lou Ragland has donned many hats in his long career.
He's a singer, guitarist, songwriter, record producer, studio engineer, and more. Ragland's first 45, "Never Let Me Go/Party at Lester's," was recorded in 1960 at Boddie Recording Studio on Union Ave and released on the Way Out label the following year.
Between the late 1960s and mid-1970s, Ragland produced some of Cleveland's greatest soul music, helming such groups as Hot Chocolate ("Good for the Gander" is the best funk song Sly Stone never wrote), Volcanic Eruption and Seven Miles High. In 1977, he released the solo album, "The Conveyer," on his own SMH label.
Besides recording for local labels, Ragland also waxed 45s for the national imprints Amy and Warner Brothers. Before he became O'Jays road manager in 1967, he was the only African-American in the Terry Knight Revue, playing guitar alongside Cleveland saxophone legend Ernie Krivda. Knight "created" Grand Funk Railroad.
Ragland will be interviewed by Carlo Wolff, author of Cleveland Rock & Roll Memories.

gynecological oncology
Bon Secours Virginia provides a sanctuary for women being treated for cancers of the reproductive organs. These can include cervical, uterine, and ovarian tumors. Our staff understands the unique needs of cancer patients and how these affect diagnosis, treatment and recovery. So, if you need this care, then you and your family will find strong support and sound treatment at our facilities.
From the start, you will have a patient navigator – an advocate who will help you during care. Besides treatment, we also provide screening and diagnosis services. Our surgeons work in teams and are highly skilled as individuals. They are adept at many procedures, including robotic and advanced laparoscopic surgery. The latter avoids large incisions by using tiny ones. Minimally invasive surgeries can reduce pain, infection, complications, and hospital stay. In some cases, however, open surgery may be needed.
After surgery, and sometimes before, radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy are often prescribed. Radiation is targeted energy that can destroy cancer cells and reduce symptoms. Chemotherapy also may be given intravenously or intraperitoneally. The latter is a new technique that delivers medicine to the abdominal cavity. In some cases, this is more effective because it allows more powerful dosages.
Physicians and staff are also available after cancer care to talk, plan, manage pain, or discuss follow-up and long-term options. Please call on us at any time. We always are available to you and your family for all your needs. We understand a cancer diagnosis is fraught with emotion, and we take your mental health just as seriously as your physical health. We always are here to support both you and your family.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall the next time a God-fearing guest opens her hotel nightstand drawer in search of a Bible, only to be greeted with Fifty Shades of Grey.
Lord have mercy!
NBC News reports the Damson Dene Hotel in England has swapped the Good Book for the erotic best seller in its rooms. Owner Jonathan Denby called the practice of stocking hotel bedrooms with Bibles "wholly inappropriate" in a secular society.
"I was thinking originally of putting in a book by Ayn Rand. Atlas Shrugged was my first thought," he tells the network. "[But] because everybody is reading Fifty Shades of Grey, we thought it would be a hospitable thing to do, to have this available for our guests, especially if some of them were a little bit shy about buying it because of its reputation."
Denby tells NBC that Bibles are still available at the front desk.
"We're not disposing of the books," he tells the network. "We're keeping them, and if people want to borrow them, then they're very welcome to."
We can't help but wonder, WWCGD? (What would Christian Grey do?)

text: Justin Timberlake last week gave us a teaser foreshadowing his upcoming album that he's now revealed to be named The 20/20 Experience. He's now also released the first single called "Suit & Tie." The upbeat Timbaland produced track features none other than Jay-Z. Along with it has already come a remix by sir Ryan Leslie, which you can also hear below. Not surprisingly, this first release is on the more glossy side of his repertoire, we'd say.

Today there are almost six million Americans age 85 or over. By 2040 the number will have shot up to more than 14 million, according to U.S. Census projections. That means there's a lot of eldercare in our future—a lot of finding Dad's lost keys, picking up Mom's prescriptions, calling insurance companies, sitting by hospital beds. And depending on how old you are right now, in that time frame you could end up both providing eldercare and receiving it from your kids.
There's no prenup for eldercare, no contract in which we lay out clearly what tasks we are willing to do, how much time and money we are willing to spend and what responsibilities, if any, lie beyond the scope of the agreement. We face the future not knowing what will be asked of us, assuming that because of love, duty and moral obligation, we will do whatever we need to do to help our parents. We may expect our kids will do the same for us. But where will we draw the line? Is there anything we won't do?
The full results of our exclusive nationwide survey are available in the September issue of More, on sale August 27.

Kelsi Briggs prepares for a pitch while playing at Valencia High School.
May 31, 2012
GREENVILLE, N.C. - East Carolina added a third member of its 2013 signing class Thursday as Kelsi Briggs inked a national letter-of-intent to attend ECU and play softball with the Pirates beginning in the fall of 2012. Briggs joins Casey Alcorn and Morgan Eisenga as the newest members of the program.
"We are really excited to be adding Kelsi," head coach Tracey Kee said. "Her defensive versatility and offensive production will be a nice blend with our returning squad."
Briggs, a native of Yorba Linda, Calif., has been a four-year letterwinner and three-time First-Team All-Empire League selection for Valencia High School and head coach John German. In her final year with the Tigers, she hit .519, slugged .790, drove in 28 runs and tallied six home runs. She was selected to play in the Orange County Coaches All-Star Softball Game, which will be held on June 5th, in addition to receiving first-team all-league honors.
At the end of her junior season, Briggs finished third in the league in batting average and hits and was also named the best defensive player. The team posted an 8-4 record in Empire League play, good for a second-place finish, and went 21-9 overall. The Tigers qualified for the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Division 1 Southern Section playoffs and topped Glendora 10-1 before falling to Santiago 15-4.
During Briggs' sophomore campaign, she was selected as the most valuable player at the Savanna High School Tournament and was tabbed as the Orange County Register Player-of-the-Week for her efforts. At the event, she went five-for-seven with a home run and six RBI to help the Tigers win the title. The team ended the year 24-6 with an 8-2 mark in league action, advanced to the CIF playoffs and downed Edison 1-0, but lost in the second round.
Kelsi Briggs will join the Pirates in the fall of 2012.
As a freshman, Briggs hit .432 with 16 runs batted in and 13 scored to earn a place on the OCVarsity.com All-Freshman Team in addition to being named the squad's top newcomer.
"While visiting ECU, I could see myself attending the university and living in Greenville," Briggs said. "The people in the community were very nice and so supportive of the school and its athletes. Coaches Kee and Kozlowski are both great and made me feel at home. They have created a very good softball program and I share their goals and work ethic.
"Not only do they want you to succeed in softball, but also as a person," Briggs continued. "You can see they care about the team and I am grateful to have the opportunity to join them. I look forward to attending ECU in the fall and hope to play a major role on the softball team and within the community."
In the classroom, Briggs has taken Honor Core classes all four years. As a senior, she received the Valencia Scholar Athlete Award and a place on the Principal's Honor Roll.
Briggs has gained additional softball experience playing for the Strike Force, California Raiders, Victory USA and American Stars summer travel programs. Her 14-and-under American Stars squad took fifth place at the Amateur Softball Association of America "A" Nationals in Midland, Texas. With the OC Batbusters, she serves as an assistant coach for her sister Ciara's 12-and-under club.
"We look forward to watching Kelsi be successful on the field, in the classroom and throughout the community," Kee added.

Greetings all! Alas I have joined the rebel alliance and launched my blog anew here at the totally godless Freethought Blogs, ubi veritas extrahetur! I won't be bringing over my archives due to the difficulty of getting all the formatting right, so I have frozen my old blog and left its archives up for reference and posterity. To visit all my past bloggings just jump on over to my old Blogger page. Down the right margin there is a chronological hyperlinked archive followed by a keyword index cloud. I will also end this post with a hyperlinked list of my all-time favorite blog posts.
Introduction. For those who don't know me, I'm Dr. Richard Carrier, historian and philosopher, author of several books, chapters, and articles in print and online. I'm most renowned for my book Sense and Goodness without God: A Defense of Metaphysical Naturalism, describing a complete godless worldview and why we should believe it's probably true (covering semantics, epistemology, science & metaphysics, ethics & axiology, aesthetics, and politics), and my book Not the Impossible Faith: Why Christianity Didn't Need a Miracle to Succeed, where I teach fascinating facts about the religion, culture, sociology, anthropology, and history of the old Roman world (I received my doctorate in ancient intellectual history), all while engaging in the entertaining pursuit of making a particular Christian apologist look like an idiot. I've done a great deal else, of course. I particularly try to write articles that fellow atheists can use, in their pursuit of philosophy or historical truth (particularly when it comes to the ancient world, or taking on Christian nonsense). I'm also an avid Bayesian. You can learn all about me and the rest of my work at my home site: richardcarrier.info.
What I'm Doing Now. Many already know, but I'm working to complete a two volume set on whether there really was a historical Jesus (I side in the negative, but with less certainty than many proclaim), the first of which is completed, peer reviewed, and due for release by Prometheus Books in April of 2012 (Proving History: Bayes's Theorem and the Quest for the Historical Jesus). The next may appear near the end of that year (On the Historicity of Jesus Christ). I also have a book in peer review on Science Education in the Early Roman Empire and another waiting for completion on The Scientist in the Early Roman Empire. That plus my work as a national public speaker, blogger, academic writer, and online lecturer for CFI Institute Online, keeps me plenty busy.
What to Expect Here. I'll be using this blog to announce my upcoming public appearances, and any new publications as soon as they're available. But I will also be using it to expound on issues in philosophy, ancient history, or Christian apologetics, as the need or mood strikes me.
Rules. Since this is my first post at FTB, I will set the ground rules here, which are the same as they've always been. I will be experimenting with different methods of handling comments (active moderation, etc.) until I know what works best here (see Comments Crazy! for my latest decision on that), but whatever method I use, the same rules apply: comments must be on-topic (meaning, relevant to the blog post they are attached to), if they argue against me they must argue against things I actually said (comments that don't I'll feel free to delete), and must contain relevant facts (merely naming authors doesn't count, for example, you have to actually make an argument or state your facts). Obviously threats, gratuitous obscenity, prayers and other blatant violations of ettiquette also warrant deletion. But merely disagreeing with me is not a condition for deletion. Relevance is, however. This isn't an unmoderated forum. If you want to debate issues unrelated to what I've blogged, please use a public forum somewhere else online. I will also block anyone who persistently violates these rules, or ignores what I've written even after being directed to it, or who repeatedly ignores my requests for sources, evidence, or specific errors in disputes over the truth. I will also sometimes delete comments that don't need to be there anymore (e.g. comments that identify a typo or bad link), not because I don't like them (I actually love them!), but because once I've corrected the issue the comment is obsolete.
Grandfather Clause. I will keep one exception to the relevance rule: you may add comments to this inaugural blog post that respond to anything I have blogged at my old location (in the whole archive linked above). That might make this entry's comments section a strange, free-wheeling bizarro land of disjointed conversation, but I'll deal. In some cases this might even generate new blogs here that can continue the thread anew.
Favorite Oldies. Here are my favorite old blog posts (except on music, which I'll blog about later)…
- Atheists in Foxholes (why you should care)
- Are Women Just Stupid? (asked & answered)
- Are We Doomed? (we're harder to kill than you think)
- Atheist or Agnostic? (the debate is stupid)
- Darla the She-Goat (an evil goat can teach us metaethics)
- Moral Ontology (the physical substance of moral facts)
- Goal Theory Update (moral philosophy's version of TMI)
- Does Free Will Matter? (belief in free will's effect on social policy)
- Factual Politics (four-part series against anarcho-libertarianism)
- How to Be a Philosopher (for real)
- Defining the Supernatural (just like it sounds)
- Our Mathematical Universe (a mathematical universe doesn't prove god)
- Statistics & Biogenesis (the origin of life doesn't prove god)
- Rosenberg on Naturalism (battling the new nihilism)
- Epistemological End Game (on getting out of infinite regress)
- History Before 1950 (what makes a historian obsolete)
- Experimental History (yep, there is such a thing)
- Lynn White on Horse Stuff (clearing away the horseshit)
- Science & Medieval Christianity (correcting errors on both sides)
- Flynn's Pile of Boners (on ancient vs. medieval science)
- Rosenberg on History (battling postmodernism)
- The Infidel Delusion (Christians act delusionally…again)
- Ignatian Vexation (why New Testament studies is fucked)
- Pauline Interpolations (examples of doctored texts in the Bible)

It has been so long since I read her that it's hard to say. My tastes were very different back then.
At the same time, I remember that the hero in Twin Passions was much more heroic than many of the other "heroes" of romances during that time. Yes, he was a Viking, and the heroine and her sister were his captives, but as far as I remember, he didn't chain either of them naked to the dining room table, have them flogged for breaking a nail, etc. Maybe that's why I still rememmber it.
Hmm, thanks, I may have to think about it. The beauty of these lower prices, though, is that buying a "miss" is not too painful.

For Mercy Raintree, war with the evil Ansara clan means she must assume her position as guardian of the Sanctuary--the sacred Raintree home deep in the Smoky Mountains. But doing so threatens to disclose her most precious secret. Dranir Judah Ansara wants to kill Mercy, personally. Then he comes face-to-face with her--and with her daughter, Eve.
Will Mercy's closely guarded secret change not only the outcome of the battle...but also Judah's own bitter heart?
by RITA Award winner Linda Winstead Jones
Homicide detective Gideon Raintree can harness electricity and talk to ghosts. To solve his newest case--a relentless serial killer unleashed by the dark Ansara wizards--he will need to wield gifts he's kept hidden. With evil lurking at every turn, Gideon and his alluring new partner, Hope Mallory, are in a race against time to save their love, their family...and their newly conceived child.

Allegra Fairweather: Paranormal Investigator - Janni Nell

With my 99.5% success rate, solving the mystery of a bleeding rose that has sprung up on the shores of Loch Furness should have been an easy gig. But already I've heard the shriek of the local banshee, discovered two bodies (and then lost two bodies), and had a near-death encounter with a three-hundred-year-old ghost. And perhaps most dangerous of all, the hot pub owner who hired me now wants to show me exactly what's under his kilt.
Luckily, I'm ably assisted by my very own guardian angel. I'm grateful for his helpbut he's also drop-dead gorgeous. A bit distracting when I've got a mystery to solve, and the clock is ticking... 71,000 words

Molly & Joe 2/2 (43 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Molly and Joe were married on July 9, 2011 at the Women's Twentieth Century Club in Eagle Rock, CA. It was a wedding full of vintage charm and DIY projects that showcased the couple's personality. One of my favorite parts of the day was the song that Molly's sister sang during the ceremony. It was the same song that was sung at Molly's parent's wedding and that Molly had performed at her sister's wedding.
From the bride:
Before we even got engaged, Joe and I knew that we'd have our wedding in Los Angeles, because that is where our life together truly began. We wanted the wedding to represent us as a couple, and a few of our favorite things about LA. That made some decisions really easy, like the taco truck. And it wasn't just any taco truck, but Taco Zone, which parked down the street from our house in Echo Park where we lived together for 5 years. Music has always been really important to us a couple. After our first day hanging out after I moved to LA, Joe made me 3(!) mixed CDs to woo me, so we knew that we wanted to make mixed cds as favors, with each song reminding us of some phase of our relationship - they eventually turned into our escort cards too! Mostly our community is so important to us, both friends and family, and we wanted to celebrate with them in a way that was truly us - low key, welcoming, and a good time.
We picked the venue itself because we love to host house parties, and we knew this would be the most important house party of our lives! We wanted it to feel cozy and intimate. We have such talented friends, and their help made everything that much more special. A groomsman drew the custom cover art for the mix CDs, a bridesmaid did the table florals, one of our best men made the homemade salsa for the tables, a good friend made delicious cupcakes, two other good friends made cookies, my aunt made the table runners, girlfriends and I made the napkins, a photographer friend did our engagement shots, friends who played the music at the ceremony - and I always forget something because so many people helped! It was such an amazing group effort, we felt so loved throughout the entire process. Oh, and the homebrewed beer! Joe and his male soulmate, Tyler, have been brewing for almost 5 years, and they made 40 gallons of homebrew for the wedding. Everything had meaning for us, down to the papel picado.

The accomodation wasn't quite what the website said, the appartment wasn't as 'new' as promised. A lot of mildew in the shower, some light bulbs and TV out of order.
Good location instead.
Location of the apartment is excellent. Who good "walking", may reach of all the sights without Metro good. Despite some small flaws that can be fixed quickly, the apartment is highly recommended. No through road, so quiet. Nice restaurants, Metro and park (expensive) in the immediate vicinity. Also the key handover went smoothly and the service was very friendly.
Lage der Wohnung ist hervorragend. Wer gut "zu Fuß" ist, kann von hier aus alles Sehenswerte ohne Metro gut erreichen. Trotz kleiner Mängel, die schnell behoben werden können, ist die Wohnung sehr zu empfehlen. Keine Durchgangsstraße, daher ruhig. Nette Restaurants, Metro und Parkhaus (teuer) in unmittelbarer Nähe. Auch die Schlüsselübergabe ging problemlos und der Service war sehr freundlich.
The key pickup went smoothly. The location of the apartment is very nice, as there are many shops (bakery, grocery stores, etc.), restaurants and bars, and three metro stations nearby. Unfortunately, the apartment was very dirty and had severe signs of wear, gave it to the mold in the bathroom. It is also very dark, because there is only a patio door and no windows.
Die Schlüsselabholung verlief problemlos. Die Lage des Appartments ist sehr schön, da es viele Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (Bäcker, Lebensmittelläden etc.), Restaurants und Bars sowie drei Metro-Stationen in der Nähe gibt. Leider war das Appartment sehr schmutzig und hatte starke Abnutzungsspuren, zu dem gab es Schimmel im Bad. Außerdem ist es sehr dunkel, da es nur eine Terrassentür und keine Fenster gibt.
Positive was the proximity to the metro and the price. Some points were unfortunately not as described. The toilet is not separate and the device partially broken. Only one towel per person for 5 days and a bed sheet as a blanket. What bothered us most, however, was the lack of cleanliness. Everywhere dust and mold in the bathroom. The mattresses were a disgrace. The apartment is also extremely noisy.
Positiv war die Nähe zur Metro und der Preis. Einige Punkte waren leider nicht wie beschrieben. Das WC ist nicht separat und die Einrichtung teilweise kaputt. Nur ein Handtuch pro Person für 5 Tage und ein Bettlaken als Bettdecke. Was uns jedoch am meisten störte, war die fehlende Sauberkeit. Überall Staub und Schimmel im Bad. Die Matratzen waren eine Zumutung. Die Wohnung ist außerdem extrem hellhörig.
The apartment was clean and beautiful (as advertised). The landlord was very friendly and helpful.
Die Wohnung war sauber und schön (wie in der Beschreibung). Der Vermieter war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
overall the apartment is worth. is a 15-minute walk from the Louvre and has as many as 3 metro stations nearby. The keys have to be retrieved from a safe in an apartment 2 blocks away and then you must be returned before departure. the staircase leading to the loft is very steep. stove, cutlery and crockery, bathroom and floor were dirty. there was no hand soap, shampoo, shower gel and detergents for dishes and floor. the mop had an awful smell of dirt. for 4 days we found only 2 towels. 2 light bulbs, and support for the handset shower broken. the Regulation imposes an additional charge for cleaning if you are not willing to clean on departure.
nel complesso l'appartamento merita. è situato a 15 minuti a piedi dal louvre ed ha ben 3 fermate della metro nelle vicinanze. le chiavi devono essere recuperate da una cassetta di sicurezza in un appartamento lontano 2 isolati e poi vi devono essere riconsegnate prima della partenza.
la scala che porta al soppalco è molto ripida. piano cottura, posate e stoviglie, bagno e pavimento erano poco puliti. non c'erano sapone per le mani, shampoo, bagnoschiuma e detergenti per piatti e pavimento. il mocho aveva un pessimo odore di sporco. per 4 giorni abbiamo trovato solo 2 asciugamani. 2 lampadine fulminate e il supporto per la cornetta della doccia rotto. il regolamento impone una spesa aggiuntiva per le pulizie se non si è disposti a pulire alla partenza.
apartment very well located (street bars, Bastille, but very quietly to courtyard); comfortable bed. caveat: check-out at 10am ... good luck, revelers .. ^ ^
appartement très bien placé (rue des bars, Bastille, mais très calme car donnant sur cour intérieure); lit confortable.
bémol : check-out à 10h... bonne chance, les fêtards.. ^^
PROS: great location of the apartment, well connected to metro and Gare de Lyon. If one is accustomed to urban culture shock, is also the district with a lot of great shopping, restaurants, boulangerie, bistros. Size and layout of the apartment perfect for 4-member nuclear family. CONS: ridiculously long drive to pick up the key in comparison to the Directions to the apartment. Only 3 instead of 4 chairs available, ripped the mattress of the sofa, in the bathroom there is mold on tiles and shower curtain, the fan was nearly clogged from dirt, floor lamp was dangerous fused to the lampshade, and the apartment was dusty. That can not be anything but resolved.
Lage der Wohnung toll, gut angebunden an Metro und Gare de Lyon. Wenn man staedtische Kulturschocks gewohnt ist, ist auch das Quartier toll mit sehr vielen Einkaufsmoeglichkeiten, Restaurants, Boulangerie, Bistros. Groesse und Einteilung der Wohnung perfekt fuer 4 -koepfige Kleinfamilie.
Laecherlich lange Anfahrt zur Abholung des Schluessels im Vergleich zur Anfahrt zur Wohnung.
Lediglich 3 statt 4 Stuehle vorhanden, die Matraze des Sofas zerrissen, im Bad findet sich Schimmel an Fliesen und Duschvorhang, der Ventilator war vor Schmutz beinahe verstopft, eine Stehlampe war gefaehrlich an den Lampenschirm angeschmolzen, und die Wohnung war verstaubt. Das kann ja aber alles behoben werden.
Nice appartment with top location. Have small comparely new kitchen and nice beds.
Wifi connection but the accescode is not provided.
Located right with speciality shops and lot of cafes and restaurants. You can walk to everything from the apartment.
The doorlink do not work so if you have to open for guests you have to go down from 6th floor to manualy open the gate.
The apartment was in a nice location with lots of amenities and restaurants close by. It is a small apartment good for 2 people. The bathroom had mold around the bathtub and was not clean. The bed sheets had not been changed, although there were clean sheets in the closet, dirty towels were left in the bathroom. Is on the ground floor on a courtyard, did not feel safe to leave french doors open for air at night as people living in the building passed by, no windows to open. Apartment needs a refresher. Getting keys is a bit complicated.

ZF-8032: userShow() functionality breaks if username is passed as the argument
see ZF-7667 - due to changes related to validating the Twitter Service's "big integer", the passed argument is now filtered using "_validInteger" in "Zend_Service_Twitter" - this, however, will return "0" everytime a screen name is submitted to this function. Thus, userShow() is not able to handle screen names as an argument anymore.
The same goes for "friendshipExists", where _validInteger won't let any screen name through. Shame on you, dev!
...and friendshipDestroy/create... the list goes on and on ;)
This was an over site on my part. I have since fixed the regression and have added a unit test to gaurd against further breakage. This was merged into the release branch with r18495.

TUCSON, Ariz. - Arizona soccer completed a Red-Blue Scrimmage with the Blue squad defeating Red, 3-1, Saturday night at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Stadium.
Freshman Lexe Selman recorded the first goal for Blue early on in the match off a flip-throw-in from freshman Jaden DeGracie. The second goal for Blue came from junior transfer Alexandra Doller, crediting Selman with the assist. DeGracie scored the third and final goal for Blue to make the score 3-0.
Senior Jazmin Ponce answered DeGracie's goal with Red's first score of the night off a shot from the top of the box to make the score 3-1.
Sophomore Kaitlyn Lopez's comments on the scrimmage:
What are your thoughts on tonight's scrimmage?
"I think it was good, we've come a long way since the beginning of camp. We still have a long ways to go but we're definitely making progress."
What do you think is the most important to improve on?
"Coming together as a team and getting on the same page with the coaches and what everybody wants. Once we become a cohesive unit, we'll be really hard to beat."
Head coach Tony Amato's comments following the scrimmage:
How do you think the scrimmage went?
"I thought it was very good. We just talked to them about where we started on August 6 to now and how we've had a lot of growth. If we can do that now to our first game then we will be in a much better position than where we started and that's all we can really ask of them. There are still things we need to work on and we need to play against people other than ourselves. Unfortunately, we don't have a preseason game so we're going to find out some things that first game rather to have known going in. For what it was tonight, I thought it was a dress rehearsal with the players and we saw some good things."
Any individuals in particular you were impressed with?
"Obviously there are some core players that we know what we're going to get out of. Jazmin Ponce for example is an excellent player, first-team Pac-12 player. We were focusing in on the players whose roles in the past weren't asked to do a lot. Sheaffer Skadsen we moved to a different position and she's elevated her game. Mykaylin Rosenquist we moved to the back and we're counting on her to play a lot of minutes for us, she did a great job tonight. Some of the new players, Lexe Selman, scored a goal for us and set one up, she did great. There were some pieces there that we feel good about and it's hard to just single out a few because we saw a lot of positives."
What do you need to focus on this week?
"The biggest thing is putting them in positions where they get exposed a little bit. When you're constantly training against yourselves, you can end up getting a false sense of where you're at. When you play against other players you can realize what you have to work on and improve on. The biggest thing is trying to find a way to set up training where they get exposed so we know what we have to tweak moving forward. I think once I watch film tonight there will be some things that will stand out that we have to fine tune going into Friday."
The Wildcats will travel to Miami on Friday, Aug. 23 to take on Florida International at 4:00 p.m. at Alfonso Field at FIU Stadium. For continued coverage of Arizona Wildcat women's soccer, follow the team on Twitter @ArizonaWSoccer, at facebook.com/ArizonaWSoccer or visit ArizonaWildcats.com.
