It would be a shame to return. <3 Outblush.

Over a four-year period in the 1970s, a meeting known as "Take and Give" (TAG) began drawing as many as 2000 per week to Washington, D.C., for passionate Bible teaching and worship. C.J. Mahaney and Larry Tomczak, both young preachers converted in the wake of the Jesus Movement, were the leaders of TAG's successful ministry. But they longed for something more than an assembly of loosely connected Christians and wanted to build a local church like those they saw modeled in the New Testament.
A Growing Church
So in 1977 a small group of Christians (55 at the first meeting) began to gather in the basement of a suburban Maryland home. Together, they committed to build a community where they could learn and grow and worship God together. The final meeting of TAG was in December of 1979.
As the young church grew, it met in several local schools and facilities around Montgomery County. Then in the early '90s, God provided 40 acres in the middle of Gaithersburg where Covenant Life began to build a permanent home.
In 1997, God drew a young author and speaker named Joshua Harris to the vision of the local church. After much prayer and counsel, Joshua moved from Oregon to Maryland to be trained in ministry by C.J. At Covenant Life, Joshua encountered a church that earnestly applied God's Word, loved the work of God's Spirit, and prized genuine relationships.
Seven years later in 2004, after 27 years of faithful service to Covenant Life, C.J. passed the lead pastor baton to Joshua Harris in order to devote himself to serving Sovereign Grace Ministries full time.
Season of Change
Following circumstances that led to a long period of sober consideration and prayer, on December 16, 2012, Covenant Life Church ended its formal association with Sovereign Grace Ministries. We remain grateful to the leaders of Sovereign Grace who played a foundational role in establishing and building this local church.
In January of 2015 Joshua announced his plans to step away from his senior leadership role and pursue formal studies at Regent College in Vancouver, B.C. The Covenant Life elders wholeheartedly supported Joshua in the decision, expressing unbridled enthusiasm for his future mixed with a deep sense of loss and sadness to see him go.
Joshua's last Sunday preaching was April 12, 2015. He and his family moved west in mid-June.
Since May, a Lead Pastor Search Team of elders and members has been engaging with both the congregation and lead pastor candidates to explore who the Lord might bring to fill the Lead Pastor role.
Covenant Life continues to be a growing, culturally diverse church that exists to worship God, love one another and make disciples of Jesus Christ—the same goals cherished by those first 55 members who met in a basement.

Stepping back from the scale
Friday, August 13, 2010
The scale's been creeping upward for a while now. It was discouraging, and--contrary to all common sense--made me eat more and exercise less. What's the point, I figured, if eating right doesn't do me any good why should I bother trying? And so the scale would creep up more. Near the end of July I stopped weighing in. I wasn't dieting any more--not really--and looking at the scale was just too depressing. And then I took a road trip. And I never worry too much about calorie intake or any of that when I'm traveling... but then I came home, and I had all this junk food left over from the trip. So I just kept eating it.
About a week ago I finally felt disgusted enough with myself to get back on plan. But I still didn't weigh in. My last weigh in had been the depressingly high 175 (up over 6 pounds from my lowest weigh-in). I decided to give myself a week back on track before I got on that scale, in order to minimize the blow to my ego.
By yesterday, the week had passed, and I was still a little nervous to get back on the scale. What if I wasn't under 175? What if I'd gained so much weight during my junk food binge that even a week of healthy eating and regular exercise didn't bring me back down at least that low? Maybe I should wait another week... but then I manned up and stepped on the scale. 173.4! It's still almost 5 pounds up from my lowest, but given my fears, I was still pretty darned pleased to see that number.
After much consideration, I decided to get on the scale again this morning. 173.4. Not bad, but not an improvement either. And I started thinking that maybe I should give it another half hour and get back on. Maybe I can go to the bathroom again in that time. Maybe I can, in that way, make the scale budge a tenth of a point or two. Only, I have a friend coming over in a few hours and I need to eat breakfast, digest, work out and shower before he gets here. If I wait 30 minutes will I have time for all that?
And then it hit me that I was turning myself into a crazy person. And for what?! To _maybe_ see the scale read 173.2 instead? Not worth it. Entirely. Not. Worth it. So I put the scale away and don't plan on touching it again until next Thursday.
Daily weigh-ins really worked for me at the beginning of my diet, when the weight was sliding off so quickly that I'd sometimes see a pound disappear overnight. Seeing that kind of immediate progress helped keep me motivated. But somewhere along the way I let the numbers on the scale become more important than how I felt and looked. I'm still going to weigh in on a weekly basis--being able to note my progress is important to keeping me motivated. * But once a week won't leave me acting like a crazy person. I won't feel hugely depressed if I have an off day, or miss a work out. But I'll still see it on the scale if I have too many off days or miss too many work outs.
*Besides, I've read a few articles about studies which show that people who weigh in on a regular basis are more likely to continue losing and/or keep weight off. This makes perfect sense to me. It's a way of keeping yourself in check and being reminded that what goes in doesn't always come straight back out.

Fox released some new posters for X Men: Days of Future Past. I guess Fox thinks we are going to forget about one of the biggest movies to hit the theaters this May. Well Fox we have not forgotten and these new posters are doing nothing but making us want more. The posters feature X Men favorites for past and present, along with a few random favorites to make our nerdy, X Men loving hearts skip a beat.
This poster features a very anger Wolverine. The ink spatter art is amazing and really shows the anger that is going through Wolverine.
This poster features a past and preset day Magneto. The use of both red and blue show the changes that Magneto has gone through over the years. It is really beautiful.
Wolverine 2
Here is another look at a ready to slice up some bad guy butt, Wolverine. He looks prepared to start a battle to save all of mutant kind. The background picture is pretty bad ass too.
Older Wolverine and Mystique
This poster multiple X Men characters. The main ones being a older Wolverine and a young Mystique. On the left you see younger X Men cast in red light and on the right we have older X men cast in blue light. I believe they are using the red to show the past angrier X Men and the Blue to show the present calmer X Men.
Wolverine and Mystique 2
This poster also features a older Wolverine and a young Mystique. Wolverine looking mad as always and Mystique gorgeous in a pretty blue body.
Wolverine and Mystique 3
Here we get a close up look at Wolverine and Mystique. I really love these two and can't wait to see them in the movie coming out in May.
Past and Present
Here we get a look at more past and present characters. On the left we have Beast, young Magneto, and young Xavier. On the right we have older Bobby Drake, older Magneto, and Professor Xavier. And of course Wolverine in the middle.
Here we get a stunting piece of art with young Charles Xavier and Older Professor X. This tugs at your heart strings. It shows up just how far Xavier has come.
Beast and Storm
Here we get a amazing look at Beast and Storm in all their glory. These two are amazing and we can't wait to see them in action on the big screen in May!
Beast and Storm 2
Look out for the angry Beast. He looks like he is ready to bit someone's head off and Storm isn't doing much to stop him. It's for the best of mutant kind right?
Storm and Xavier
This poster features a stunting Storm, even if I wish she was played by someone else, and the very young Charles Xavier. See them on the big screen May 23rd.

Sunni militant group claims responsiblity for Beirut blast
A Sunni militant group calling itself 'the Brigades of Aisha' has claimed responsibility for the car bomb that ripped through southern Beirut on Thursday evening.
The bomb, which killed 20 people according to Lebanese daily The Daily Star, was targeting the Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah, according to a statement made by the Brigade group that was run by Reuters.
"This is the second time that we decide the place of the battle and its timing...And you will see more, God willing," said a masked man, who was surrounded by other members of the group brandishing rifles, in a video statement addressed to Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, according to Reuters.
The death toll of the blast is rising, with figures ranging from 7, as reported by AFP, to more than 20, according to Lebanese security sources.

On the front of these bags is a built-in, special one-way valve. As the coffee emits gasses, they escape through this valve but no air can get back into the package. This keeps the coffee absolutely fresh until the bag is opened.

The machine still works like it does the first day I got it. I have everything it came with (i bought it brand new) except the box it was shipped in. I am only selling this because I have about $1500.00 in copper pennies and I feel that is enough for my hoarding needs. Its a great machine. What I am looking for is and collectible coin. preferable older. I estimate the used value of this ryedale at $425. So I would expect a $425 coin(s)

Ideal Cholesterol 199?
Alright, I'm convinced. This nation has gone loony-tunes! First, New Jersey went off the deep end with mandatory flu injections, and now, a new government report insists that a total cholesterol level of 199 is ideal. What! Mike Stobbe of Associated Press reports:
Can Cholesterol Be Too Low:
Continue Reading...
Results from a national blood test survey found the average total cholesterol level was 199. Doctors like patients to have total cholesterol readings of 200 or lower…The report cites the use of cholesterol-lowering drugs as the main reason for the reduction. Yeah—because that's a good! In case you forgot, Dr. Fuhrman is no fan of using medicine to lower cholesterol. Take statins for example:
…The survey collects data in two-year intervals. The new results are based on a national sample of about 4,500 people 20 and older from 2005-06. The new 199 level compares with 204 in 1999-2000…
…Researchers also found that the percentage of adults with high cholesterol, of 240 or higher, dropped to 16 percent, down from 20 percent in the early 1990s.
When resorting to medical intervention, rather than dietary modifications, other problems arise, reducing the potential reduction in mortality possible, as these individuals are at risk of serious side effects from the medication. The known side effects for various statins (the most popular and effective medications to lower cholesterol) include hepatitis, jaundice, other liver problems, gastrointestinal upsets, muscle problems and a variety of blood complications such as reduced platelet levels and anemia.But what about this "ideal" cholesterol level, is a score of 199 really healthy? Okay, you decide. In Eat to Live Dr. Fuhrman discusses the cholesterol levels of populations consuming a plant-based diet. Here's an excerpt:
A vegetable, fruit, nut, and bean-based diet has been shown to be the most effective cholesterol-lowering dietary approach in medical history. This newsworthy data with the potential to save millions of lives has been ignored by the mass media. With this dietary approach, most patients drop their total cholesterol below 150 and LDL below 100, without the need for medications. In areas of the world where people eat a diet of unrefined plant foods, people have total cholesterol levels below 150, and there is zero incidence of heart disease in the population.1I guess if you're consuming the standard American diet 199 is healthy—relatively speaking—it's probably a miracle you're surviving at all. Okay, let's cut to the case. Here are the total cholesterols levels of people following Dr. Fuhrman's nutrient-dense diet. Look:
Can Cholesterol Be Too Low:
Typically, those individuals promoting the myth that low cholesterol levels are dangerous and the topsy-turvey "science" that saturated fat and high cholesterol are not bad, but good, are those individuals and health advisors advocating diets high in animal products, such as the Atkins devotees. Unfortunately, this advice is not merely incorrect; it is dead wrong for hundreds of individuals who heed such dangerous advice and die of heart attacks every day.So, in the event that someone—so overjoyed by their 199 score—decides to streak gleefully naked down your street. Politely hand them a towel and a copy of Eat to Live.
When it comes to coronary artery disease, there may be no such thing as lowering total blood cholesterol levels too far. Another recent study, published in the journal Circulation, found that the arteries in male patients with a total cholesterol level as low as 155 mg/dl benefited significantly from cholesterol-lowering medication as well.1 Both regression of atherosclerosis and a dramatic reduction in heart attacks were seen in the group treated.
While some research in the past has raised questions about the safety of very low cholesterol levels, no danger has been proven in larger, more dependable investigations.

J Periodont Res 2009;.doi: 10.1111/j.1600-0765.2009.01232.x. (c) 2009 The Authors. Journal compilation (c) 2009 Blackwell MunksgaardBackground and Objective: The existing literature is inconsistent regarding whether there is any additional effect of povidone-iodine (PVP-iodine) as an adjunctive to scaling and root planing, and, if there is an effect, what its size is. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the additional effect of PVP-iodine as an adjunct to scaling and root planing compared with water, saline or no rinse in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. Material and methods: An electronic literature search of the databases PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Central Library, and a handsearch, were performed (up to November 2008). Two reviewers independently identified and selected screened abstracts for possible inclusion, and assessed randomized, controlled clinical trials comparing the additional benefit of PVP-iodine with water, saline rinsing or no rinsing in the nonsurgical periodontal therapy of patients with chronic periodontitis. A fixed-effects meta-analysis was conducted in the absence of statistically significant heterogeneity. Results: A small, but statistically significant additional beneficial effect of the adjunctive use of PVP-iodine with enhanced probing pocket depth reductions of 0.28 mm (95% confidence interval: 0.08 to 0.48, p = 0.007) was found. There was no significant heterogeneity between studies (I(2) = 0%). However, most of the studies included in the meta-analysis were of low quality, and the treatment modalities showed various differences such as the use of PVP-iodine at different concentrations and application modalities. Nevertheless, single-rooted teeth, in particular, showed an additional benefit after scaling and root planing with PVP-iodine, particularly when the treatment was repeated during the healing stage. Conclusion: The adjunctive use of PVP-iodine during scaling and root planing may increase the clinical pocket depth reduction, although the clinical significance is small to moderate.

The Naked Chef is Mad
Jamie Oliver is calling on the United States government to take up his campaign against fatty snacks and school lunches. Christine Kearney of Reuters has more:
Oliver said U.S. politicians should "stop being so subservient" to "junk food companies" and that the country should cut down on junk and fatty foods, which would help reduce future health costs.I wonder how the Brit Oliver felt about last month's meat-pie-pushing mamas.
"A fat person in England isn't the same as a fat person in America," he said, asserting that America's obesity problem was far worse.

Hi,

no. This is done by setting attributes in the module
 deployment descriptor.
 There is unfortunately no API for that.

A module has a state and a status. state is related
 to administration action (do I want my module to be deployed or not) and status is about the health of a module (did my module is up and running, was it successfully unlocked ? )

about the last question , I guess you are talking about "locking your module"
 The container will call the 'stop' method of your module. You are then responsible to clean everything. By the way if references (objects) remain in your module classloader , the container will complain about that in the logs.

Hæ again,
 is there a subcommand to enable/disable a certain module?
 Actually, I'd like to know the difference between the operational and administrative state.
 What exactly happens to my module when I (programmatically) disable it? are my children threads still running? what about when I lock it?

Thanks!

Hi,

what you want is
 cacaoadm list-modules --registered

without the option '-r|--registered' , cacaoadm
 will contact the container to get the list of deployed modules.

How can I check whether a module is registered or not in cacao, provided that cacao's status is stopped?
 "cacaoadm list-modules" works as long as cacao is started. I'd like to know the modules in a moment in which cacao is and should remain stopped.
 Thanks in advance

dladdr also works for libraries , no ?
 In my example I choose the 'main' function but it

The Ashcroft Theatre Safety Curtain
Bird and his Theatrical Mural on the
Ashcroft Theatre Safety Curtain, Croydon
|The Ashcroft
Theatres safety curtain was painted by Henry Bird
(1909-2000). Henry was born and died in Northampton. He
was much influenced by Rembrandt, with whom he shared the
same birthday, 15th July. Exhibitions of his work have
included those held at the Royal College of Art; the
Society of Mural Painters; the Tate Gallery; the Victoria
& Albert Museum; and Lambeth Palace. Henry Bird was
the subject of a TV documentary by Anglia in 1981.
Henry began studying part time at the Northampton School of Art when he was only 11, taking menial jobs to pay his way. He eventually gained a scholarship to the Royal College of Art, where he won all the major prizes including the Painting and Portrait Prize; the Continuation Scholarship; and the Royal Colleges highest award, the Travelling Scholarship.
After graduating, Henry earned an income through painting decorative church interiors and also Inn signs for Ernest Fell. He became a lecturer in art history at the University College of Wales in Aberystwyth in 1936. Soon after taking up this post he married the actress Freda Jackson (1907-1990), whom he had met at Northampton Repertory Theatre (now known as The Royal Theatre), and where the company included Errol Flynn, who was reputed to have been Fredas lover.
Henry and Fredas careers began to run in parallel. After 5 years Henry lecturing at Aberystwyth, Henry became head scene painter in charge of the studio producing sets for the Old Vic and Sadler's Wells. Then in 1945 he became the resident designer at the Embassy Theatre until he returned to Northampton to take up a teaching post at the School of Art in 1950. For the last 50 years of his life Henry worked mainly for the adornment of his own county and painted a number of substantial mural schemes in the area.
A major mural was his fire curtain for the Royal Theatre in Northampton (1977). Henry regarded the words safety curtain as instructions from the Fire Authority and preferred the words Sipario dipinto (painted Separator) for the work. This mural includes a series of vignette portraits of those who had been involved at the theatre, among them Henrys wife Freda and Errol Flynn - but with each on the opposite side of the proscenium!
Fairfields management were so impressed with the Royal Theatres Sipario dipinto that they commissioned Henry to paint a mural on the Ashcroft Theatres Safety Curtain in Croydon. Local actor Peter Clapham (1925-2003) was at the forefront of activities and the work was completed in 1982. So as not confuse it with Northamptons Sipario dipinto, the Croydon work was called The Henry Bird Theatrical Mural on the Ashcroft Theatre Safety Curtain, thus keeping the artistic work separate from the requirements from the Fire Authority!
Dame Peggy Ashcroft (1907-1991) appears as Ophelia in the centre of the mural. Her portrait is also included among the medallions painted at the bottom, depicting some of the many famous actors, writers and producers who have been associated with Croydon over the years. The old theatres of Croydon and the travelling fit-up theatres that were long ago erected on the original Fair Field are shown at the sides of the mural. Other theatrical images and symbols depicting Croydon, the theatrical arts and the passage of time, are included elsewhere on the work. Henry Bird signed this theatrical mural on Grimaldis goose, as he regarded this particular work as his swan song in terms of major projects.
The Ashcroft Theatre Club was one of the main contributors to the mural project and promoted the theatres lottery appeal to raise funds. The lottery itself was drawn by the French singer and actor Sasha Distel (1933-2004) and Henry Bird marked the completion of his work with a presentation in the Arnhem Gallery. Peter Clapham summed things up with the comment Henry Birds Safety Curtain Design for the Ashcroft Theatre is a celebration of the world of theatre and a link with Croydons own rich theatrical history.
When after almost twenty years of constant use the mural began to show significant signs of wear and tear, the Ashcroft Theatre Club drew this to Fairfields attention. The Club paid for its restoration, and the work was undertaken by Lis Bird, Henrys daughter-in-law. As the Club Chairman, Patricia Lawrence put it, Members of the Ashcroft Theatre Club believe that this is a unique legacy, one worthy of preserving, so that it can be enjoyed by theatre-goers for many years to come. We hope that you will enjoy it too.

This essay demonstrates how key concepts from ecology can be applied within historical analyses in order to gain insights regarding contemporary environmental change. We employ a coupled human and natural systems conceptual framework in a nascent historical analysis of rapid societal and environmental change in colonial New England, where European colonization led to stark and rapid transformations. Introduced diseases reduced indigenous communities to a fraction of their pre-contact levels. European agriculture and associated pest species, deforestation and overharvest of ecologically influential species were among key aspects of the rapid changes in colonial New England. Cross-continental biotic introductions initiated reinforcing feedback loops that accelerated the transition of human and natural systems into novel states. Integrating colonial history and ecology can help identify important interactions between human and natural systems useful for contemporary societies adjusting to environmental change.

by ealinglou
Manchester, Unit...
Didnt have time to make my own and other bridesmaids dresses but made this headband as something to wear that was my own and bit different.
I like old brass brooches from the forties and fifties esp those in flower shapes – picked a couple up at secondhand markets and glued them to a plain gold headband from John Lewis. The added some decorative brass "sprigs" from VV Rouleaux, a ribbon and trimming shop in London. I guess this whole thing came in and under fifteen quid and had loads of complients on it all dy.

Thanks but it was actually quite chunky and heavy once I had it on!

Looks nice! The brooches already were gold or did you paint them?

No they were gold already but I certainly dont see why you couldnt spray paint one you found that wasn't- but you woud probably have to use that extra strong enamel spray they use on boats and outdoor furniture that dries to a hard sheen.

Michael Fujita: Re-Constructing Nature
Page Content
Terminal A-West
ticketed passengers
September 16, 2013 - April 6, 2014
Philadelphia artist Michael Fujita is known for his work in ceramics and wood. In either medium, his concepts are similar because he uses the repetition of a single form to build larger objects, like these salvaged wood 2 by 4s that he has cut and carefully stacked to create life-sized tree trunks. He has described his working process as a "commitment to labor and time" and that his "countless hours repeating a motion or action to produce an object or mark is eventually captured in a single visual moment."
By creating his trees out of scrap wood, Fujita is re-constructing their original forms as a remembrance of their initial beauty.
And at the same time, he is keeping the scrap material out of the waste stream while reminding us to be less wasteful and more respectful of our natural environment.
Michael Fujita received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Kansas City Art Institute (2005) and a Master of Fine Arts degree from New York State College of Ceramics, Alfred University (2008). Fujita is a recipient of the Evelyn Shapiro Foundation Fellowship (2009-2010) from The Clay Studio, Philadelphia, where he is currently a Resident Artist.

On this day
by Kate Smith
Liverpool left deflated at the SoL.
2009 – Darren Bent fired Sunderland to a memorable victory over Liverpool at the Stadium of Light after his shot on goal deflected off a beachballl, which had been thrown onto the pitch by the travelling fans, and bounced past a confused Pepe Reina and into the back of the net.
1987 – A John McPhail double seals an away win at Blackpool.
1966 – Defender George Kinnell, cousin of Jim Baxter, signed from Oldham Athletic for £20,000.
1936 – Middlesbrough and Sunderland drew 5-5 at Ayresome Park. This equalled their highest ever scoring draw.

A Navy Seal tells how there was no noise, just calm in the moments before the al Qaeda leader was killed in his hideout.
11:20, UK, Friday 22 February 2013
A Navy Seal who claims he shot Osama bin Laden has told how the mission to kill the al Qaeda leader was "not like the movies".
Speaking to the CBS 60 Minutes programme, the former Seal, who goes under the pseudonym Mark Owen, told how he and a colleague shot Bin Laden several times.
His account, in an interview to be broadcast on Sunday, differs from the official Pentagon version of events at the sprawling Abbottabad complex in Pakistan where Bin Laden was hiding.
The Pentagon insists Bin Laden was only shot after fleeing into the bedroom.
Mr Owen, whose real name is Matt Bissonette, told CBS: "It's not like the movies. Movies make it out to be loud and crazy and everybody's yelling but it's quiet and calm, it's nice and slow."
Of shooting Bin Laden, he said: "We both engaged him several more times then rolled out and continued clearing the room."
Owen described the raid, by the Seal's Team Six, in May 2011 in his book No Easy Day, which was published in September.
The Pentagon objected to what it described as unwarranted disclosures but has not issued legal action.
Mr Owen's account also differs to that portrayed in the film Zero Dark Thirty, which claims to be an accurate version of events.
The director Kathryn Bigelow and her team were given unprecedented access to CIA information on the raid for the film. The level of access is now the subject of a Senate committee inquiry.
Separately the Pentagon announced this week that it is reviewing an Esquire magazine article on an unnamed Navy Seal's account of his role in the Bin Laden operation to see if it broke secrecy rules.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Hiring Our Heroes program and Goodwill Industries have announced a collaborative effort to offer comprehensive vocational services to veterans and military spouses who participate in Hiring Our Heroes job fairs and programs. Goodwill will provide employment workshops and resume reviews to help attendees make the most out of their experience at Hiring Our Heroes job fairs. It will also provide individual career assistance for referred jobseekers and in-kind event space for future job fairs and networking events.
"At Hiring Our Heroes, we understand that sometimes just having someone to sit down one on one with a job-seeking veteran or military spouse can make all the difference," said Eric Eversole, executive director of Hiring Our Heroes. "Goodwill has always been committed to supporting America's veterans and military families. We are delighted to partner with the organization in equipping today's military men and women with the career counseling and resources they need to drive our country forward."
"Goodwill has helped veterans find jobs and transition from military to civilian life since World War I, and our commitment to providing job training, career and support services to veterans and military families continues to this day," said Jim Gibbons, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries International. "Veterans are dedicated and hard-working employees, and we do everything we can to help them find jobs and support their success in the workplace."
The U.S. Chamber Foundation and Goodwill made the announcement at a Hiring Our Heroes job fair in Milwaukee, where Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Wisconsin and Metropolitan Chicago was on hand to promote local resources and provide counseling to all veterans, transitioning service members and military spouses in attendance. Several veterans who reached out to Hiring Our Heroes from around the country have already been referred to local Goodwill career counselors for personalized job search assistance.
Veterans face unique challenges in building their careers once they return home, and Goodwill helps them navigate many aspects of their transition, including connecting them with hiring employers, helping them translate their military skills on a resume and getting them the support services they need, such as financial education, housing, meal service, mental health services, transportation and vocational rehabilitation.

I've never really been interested in performing. I've always been interested in experiencing something in the moment and knowing that on any given night, just based on what's been going on in my life, any tune can take on any other meaning, and to be ready for where that goes.
Sara Gazarek — pronounced GAH-ZA-REK — is the living embodiment of a dream come true. She's also a living example that good things happen to truly good people.
Born and raised in Seattle, the Blossom & Bee recording artist attended Roosevelt High School intending to study theater. She found herself on a slightly different course when she entered the high school's esteemed jazz program under the leadership of award-winning director Scott Brown. He nurtured in her a passion for jazz that culminated in New York City's Essentially Ellington competition her senior year.
It was a moment she will never forget. "I walked out onstage at Avery Fisher Hall, had just had this lengthy conversation with Wynton Marsalis, was thinking, 'God what an accessible, humble human being, this was so cool the people are like this in the genre. I'm 18 but have a voice here. I'm allowed to breathe life into these songs,'" she recalled in a June 30th phone interview.
While in New York City, Gazarek had also gone to see jazz pianist McCoy Tyner at the Blue Note, and began to dream that one day, that could be her onstage. It happened for real this past Mother's Day, when she and her band played the famed Blue Note as headliners — the same weekend her alma mater was in town to compete in the Essentially Ellington competition. Full circle, baby. "To know that … that day I had decided I wanted to be a jazz musician, I wanna perform at the Blue Note and here I am performing 14 years later the same weekend that these kids might be having the same thought that I'm having," she said. "It came full circle and it made me realize how indebted I am to music education, Seattle, and Roosevelt High School and particularly, Scott Brown."
The L.A.-based Gazarek will live out another dream when she returns home to perform at Seattle's Jazz Alley, July 10-13, as a headliner. While she's played Dimitriou's Jazz Alley before, several times, it's always been mid-week. The big names go on the weekends. She's ready to show what she's made of, and to dedicate the four-night shows to the city that shaped her as a jazz artist. "It always means a lot to come back to perform in Seattle just because it reminds me of how unlikely it is that I would be where I am if these very specific things hadn't fallen into place," she explained. "I love my life, and I love what I do. It's a joy to know that I'm able to finally come back for a four-night run and give thanks to the community and the place that gave me this thing that changed my life for the better."
Gazarek and her trusty band, the band from her last record — pianist Josh Nelson, drummer Zach Harmon, and bassist Hamilton Price — plan to play audience favorites and some new tunes they've been working on for a year or so, as well as some really new tunes from a month back. They love to dip heavily into the Great American Songbook, of course. But they also love to whip out some contemporary songs by some of their favorite artists. "We're all big believers in the jazz tradition in the band and do a number of covers of standards and of the songs that mean a lot to me," she said. "I always need to have a connection too, but we also are inspired by some contemporary composers, so we have some Nick Drake songs, some Laura Mvula tunes, and then of course some of those original compositions."
Gazarek will also bring on one of her "favorite guitar players in the whole world," Larry Koonse. "Of course friends and family will be in the audience. But we also have a lot of musician friends that we're hoping will stop by and we'll have some special guests sitting on some tunes," she added.
Fans of the 32-year-old jazz artist know that when they go to her show, they'll enjoy a fresh set of songs sung sweetly, with an effortless charm and grace, lots of humor, and maybe one or two surprises. Gazarek makes it all look so easy, but she is one of the few artists able to convey a brightness to her emotions with pitch-perfect technique and an innate feel for the notes — when to let a moment linger, when to let it fly, fly away.
It's taken her a few years to grow into the role of the jazz performer without appearing to perform. Gazarek's one of those artists who prefers to express rather than impress. "I feel like performers sometimes kind of fall into two categories. There are the people I feel really impressed by. Wow you have a really beautiful instrument, wow, you can scat really well, and that's really cool you can do that. Or, there are the people that express something. That's the difference between impressing and expressing. When I'm still thinking about a concert days later, it's always the latter, that I've felt something and they changed my mood and my perspective on life, and that never happens in that impressed state. It's always kind of like, an hour later, I'm thinking about something else."
Good thing for Gazarek, she sings before jazz audiences. They tend to expect and embrace the fun times and the solemn times of an artist's mood, provided the swing is genuinely from the heart. They also tend to want to go on the same emotional ride with her, which she appreciates. "I think in jazz, the audiences are really intelligent. They know when it's a performance and they know when it's an experience," she said, which is good, because she's not out there to look the part.
"I've never really been interested in performing. I've always kind of been interested in experiencing something in the moment and knowing that on any given night, just based on what's been going on in my life, any tune can take on any other meaning and to kind of be ready for where that goes," she continued. "And of course the performance is part of it — the master of instrument, the ability to sing in tune, be aware of dip songs and vowel shapes and support and breath and connectivity in the vocal chords. And you know all of the BS that we study in school really is just a tool for vocabulary and the ability to be expressive in that moment. So my ability to sing in tune and have a beautiful instrument, think about vibrato, all that has got to go on the back shelf, so that in the moment I'm able to use those tools to get something across. When I'm listening to Nancy Wilson, I'm not thinking, 'God, what a beautiful instrument.' I'm feeling everything that she's doing. So that's the goal. I'm not there yet, I'm workin' on it [laughs]."
When Gazarek talks about her long-time accompanist, which she almost always does, the singer's usual composure slips. She gets very emotional about the man who's been with her musically throughout the arc of her young career: the fabulously talented pianist and composer Josh Nelson. The two share a very special bond that's most evident onstage. Nelson — a jazz artist in his own right — literally can read Gazarek's mind as they float along from one song to another. He senses when to come in and fill in her spaces accordingly. A working relationship like that doesn't happen every day, and she's well aware of how blessed she is.
"Josh and I have been working together for 10 years. He's really the only long-standing member of the Sara Gazarek band in every formation that we've ever had. So throughout the 10 years that we've been working together, there's just been all this trust and rapport and depth that has developed," she marveled. "We realized eight or 10 months ago, that we really had this special relationship that I feel like only a few people get the opportunity to experience in music, where you grow up together and know each other on this kind of soul-ular level. I trust Josh more than anyone in the universe musically and it's just a real vulnerable and exposed and beautiful experience to get to play in such an exposed way with him."
So naturally, they decided to do an album together.
Before finishing her next solo album, Gazarek and Nelson will go into the recording studio in the fall to flesh out their duo project, a labor of love eight months in the making. Jazz Alley audiences will hear one or two preview tracks from that album, for sure. "We've kind of cultivated this repertoire based on some of the Sara Gazarek band arrangements that we've reduced for a duo setting, but then also a lot of brand new arrangements and a ton of original material that we're really excited to continue to delve into," she said.
After her Jazz Alley run, Sara Gazarek will play in Portland, OR's Lan Su Chinese Garden, July 15, and then do a duo show with Nelson, July 17, back at L.A.'s Blue Whale, before hitting the Indy Jazz Fest, September 12-13.

West Caldwell, NJ, May 13, 2009 - Ricoh Americas Corporation, the leading provider of digital office equipment, announced that its parent company, Ricoh Company, Ltd. has been named one of the World's Most Ethical Companies by the Ethisphere Institute.

Ricoh joins a select group of companies that have demonstrated superb marks within seven broad categories that constitute a company's ethics quotient. As a result of Ricoh's sustained ethical leadership, the company, along with the other WME winners, has been deemed as one of the most ethical companies worldwide."Ricoh has proven to be one of the world leaders in upholding high ethical standards, making it a true standout in its industry, especially as unethical business actions and decisions grab headlines each day," said Alex Brigham, executive director of the Ethisphere Institute.Through a rigorous, multi-step evaluation process, Ethisphere's researchers and analysts reviewed more than 10,000 companies in order to determine the finalists."It is a great honor to receive recognition from the Ethisphere Institute for our efforts as CSR has always been an integral part of Ricoh's business.

"In collaboration with our constituents around the world, we'll continue to work towards bringing our longstanding sustainable environmental management to an even higher level."The methodology for the WME ranking includes reviewing codes of ethics, litigation and regulatory infraction histories, evaluating the investment in innovation and sustainable business practices, looking at activities designed to improve corporate citizenship, studying nominations from senior executives, industry peers, suppliers and customers, and working with consumer action groups for feedback.About Ethisphere InstituteThe research-based Ethisphere Institute is a leading international think-tank dedicated to the creation, advancement and sharing of best practices in business ethics, corporate social responsibility, anti-corruption and sustainability.

I'm using a 2wire 3600HGV modem/router. Starting around this afternoon, any time I try to access anything from i.imgur.com I get
The connection to i.imgur.com was interrupted in chrome, and the actual error is
Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET). It's network wide (tested multiple browsers on multiple computers and phones). I can access imgur.com just fine, but nothing from its content server i.imgur.com. If I disable wifi on my phone and use its 4G connection, I can access it just fine, so obviously imgur isn't down. I haven't changed any configuration on the router, and I have tried changing DNS servers (I tried google and OpenDNS). It also seems that imgur is not the only site; howtogeek and a couple of others seem to have the same problem. It looks like they are all edgecast cdn content servers, but not all edgecast cdn servers fail. Tumblr, for instance, works just fine. Does anyone have any idea what would be causing this?
EDIT: Related to the edgecast remark, it would appear that this is a specific edgecast server: gs1.wpc.edgecastcdn.net. Tumbler's content is on gs1.wac.edgecastcdn.net, so it might be on a different server.
Edit #2: These sites all respond to ping just fine as well.

Secrets of Success
I think I need to find my independence
Sunday, June 09, 2013
I've been overweight for ages, and for as long as I can remember I've been trying to figure out what it is that kept me gaining and losing constantly. The simple answer is that I was overeating and under-exercising, but I could never really pin point it exactly. I came up with excuse after excuse and convinced myself that they were acceptable reasons.
I'm starting to wonder how much of my weight issues are based on my dependence on others and my routine. I've gone from living with family, to living with roommates, living with my significant other, but never on my own. Even during my divorce, I am back living with family. As soon as I moved back, immediately everyone was calling me wanting to get a place with me. As much as I want to save money by having a roommate, I am thinking I need to move out on my own. With no one to have to worry about but myself.
I've been offered a job with another company and I am just waiting on final approval. As long as everything pans out as planned, I will be based out of Massachusetts. The commute is going to be an hour and a half on a good day... add in winter or any kind of traffic, forget it. This new opportunity is exceptionally promising for me, but the commute is going to get old after a while.
I'm thinking about moving closer to where my home terminal is, and I believe this could be perfect timing. Perfect timing to finally be on my own and change my routine.
I know that living on my own (actually on my OWN) isn't going to make me lose weight, but maybe gaining my independence and hopefully myself back through the process, will be enough to keep me in weight loss gear and will enable me to keep the weight off.

I think it will help. When I had an apt with my cousin and we had our "own" food (as in whatever I bought was mine, and what she bought was hers. no sharing) it was sooooo much easier to stay on track. I didn't ahve to worry about My Husband like I do now and cook something that we both like therefor compromising on just how healthy the meal is (example: I would love to replace quiona for rice in many meals, but my Husband hates it. I'm too lazy to cook both lol). Also If you don't want cookies or icecream or whatever else laying around the house tempting you, then don't buy them when you go food shopping! What I wouldn't give for my Husband to want to lose the weight too so I didn't have to watch him snacking on cookies every night lol
Anyways, I think it's a great idea, especially with the new job (which I assume is in the Boston area?). Sounds like you get to set yourself up fro a whole new start and starting it out getting more fit sounds like it will lead to meeting new friends also doing the same (I know you struggle with your current friends always wanting to eat out and have junk food at parties, etc.)

Lush Candy Cane Soap Review
Time for another Lush Soap review! Today I thought I'd write about my thoughts on the Lush Candy Cane soap, which will only be on sale until the 14th (when the Lush Christmas Sale ends). This had been out of stock at the Lush branches I checked, but when I happened to drop by the Mall of Asia there was still loads of it available there.
Website claim:
Inspired by all the candy shops in New York City (and with just the slightest of nods to a certain Charlie in a certain factory), Candy Cane Soap is everything you could ever want from a bar of soap. Our perfumer Simon captured the fragrance of a candy cane perfectly using English peppermint oil and the sweet, cherry scent of almond oil. It was probably thanks to the fact that he consumed his body weight in candy canes whilst making it. All in the name of research!
Invigorating and comforting at the same time; perfect for waking up in the shower on a winter morning.
The bar of Candy Cane looks somewhat like actual candy to me, and in such cute colors too. I like the pink and red stripes.
This doesn't smell exactly like one of those striped candy canes to me though—it's more like syrupy cherry with vanilla and peppermint! It's not a sugary, toothachingly sweet smell like you might expect from the name. Rather, it's a subtle, fruity-sweet type of scent, which smells cool, smooth, and yummy to my nose.
Candy Cane is softly scented. Comparing it to the other Lush soaps I've used, to me this one's scent was the least strong. Nonetheless, what I smell of it in the shower, as per the product description, I do find invigorating.
Another invigorating thing about this soap, aside from the scent, is the tingly feeling it gives my skin once I lather is all over. It's not a cool, minty sensation, but an actual tingling of the skin, nothing uncomfortable or anything, it's a bit on the subtle side really. However, I think my sensitive skin might be reacting to the peppermint oil content or some ingredient because this dries up my skin big time, so I've had to stop using it.
The regular price of the Candy Cane Soap is PhP 225 per 100 grams, but since I got it during the sale, the price was 50% off.
Looks yummy.
- I like how it looks like candy.
- It smells cool and sweet. Quite pleasant to my nose.
- I don't have to buy it online.
- Very drying to my skin.
- Doesn't lather much.
- Melts easily.
- Expensive at the regular price.
I enjoyed using this because of the combination of cherry, vanilla, and peppermint, which made for a pleasant scent to foody-smell lover me, but it really dries up my already dry skin pretty bad. It's probably more suitable for those with normal skin. I'll be skipping this next year, unfortunately.

On Monday, April 28th, 2014, the City of Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering and the City Council, comprised of Anthony E. Blumberg, Paul H. Frank, Daniel A. Kaufman, Alyss Knobel, David NAftzger and Kim Stone, bestowed upon Dr. Jim Hile, also known affectionately to students and parents alike as "Doc", a Key to the City of Highland Park.
Cited for his eighteen years of teaching and service to Highland Park High School and the Highland Park Community as a Director for the Band program at Highland Park High School, Mayor Rotering read off a list of Dr. Hile's activities and accomplishments that was nothing short of extraordinary.
At the conclusion of the Mayor's proclamation and presentation of the Key to the City, she invited community members to contribute their own thoughts. As a testament to Dr. Hile's impact and influence, several students and parents stood up and contributed their expressions of gratitude and appreciation for all that Dr. Hile has done for the music program and all the students in it.
What is most astonishing about Dr. Hile is not just what he has done and how much he has accomplished, but the manner in which he has done everything. Going above and beyond the "call of duty" throughout his entire tenure at Highland Park High School, Dr. Hile was an exemplary role model, mentor, teacher, and leader for all the students in the band program. He performed his duties as a labor of love, many parents expressing that he was like a "second father" to their child or children. Indeed, one could not imagine a teacher with more energy, enthusiasm, dedication, work-ethic, care and concern for his students than Dr. Hile. All this was combined with a profound musicality and knowledge about music which he imparted in every rehearsal and every course which he taught or directed- including AP Music Theory, Jazz Band, Concert Band, Wind Ensemble, Wind Symphony, Pep Band, Marching Band, and every single concert he planned and conducted.
He has upheld the highest standards of musical and academic performance and personal integrity in each of his students, and has earned the respect of his fellow music educators throughout Illinois, the USA and in Europe and Asia, where he has taken the HPHS band on tour on numerous occasions. He has arranged for his student ensembles to perform at so many important functions in Highland Park- for Senior Citizens, Elementary Schools, National Holiday observances, and his traditional Halloween Concert was a special highlight for many young children and families each year! Under Dr. Hile's direction, the HPHS Bands have contributed enromously to the overall school spirit that we enjoy at every community gathering, football game, assembly, and beyond. Many of Dr. Hile's students have gone on to pursue careers in music, gaining acceptance at some of the most prestigious music schools in the country, so it is clear that his legacy will assure that music will be a main priority for the community of Highland Park.
Dr. Hile is a teacher whose shoes cannot be filled by one person alone, and whose departure from HPHS as he enters "retirement" will be greatly felt by faculty, staff, and administrators, but mostly by the students and their parents. This special honor of being awarded the "Key to the City of Highland Park" is richly deserved and can only represent a small token of the collective appreciation and gratitude Dr. Hile has earned from the community for his contributions to Highland Park High School and the City of Highland Park.
Bravo and thank you to Dr. James Hile!

Well, not directly. According to an article in the Houston Chronicle, an amendment to the state constitution was recently proposed that would "prohibit the government from interfering in situations where an individual chooses to act or refuses to act in a certain way on the basis of religion unless the government proves it has a compelling interest". Among the proponents of the bill is the father of Angela Hilderbrand, her school's valedictorian who was sued for including a prayer in her speech.
The ironic thing is that lawsuits are supposed to be ways for people to seek justice for violations of their rights, and this amendment would block people from doing that in when religion is an issue. Among the religious groups that would benefit from the protection offered by the amendment is the Westboro Baptist Church, whose claim to fame is trolling funerals of military officers and other newsworthy public events. That alone might be enough to ensure that the amendment isn't passed.
But doesn't the WBC have the same freedom of speech as the rest of us? Never mind freedom of religion. Religion is just a word people made up as a euphemism for their superstitions. Speech is a real thing, and everyone has the right to share their opinions no matter what those opinions are. A constitutional amendment preventing the government from interfering with people's ability to act on their superstitious opinions shouldn't even be necessary. It's already covered in the first amendment of the United States constitution, as is the separation of church and state.
There is no shortage of people who would love to see the Westboro Baptist Church silenced, but if an opinion can be silenced, then any opinion can be silenced, including necessary critical opinions of corrupt government officials. Whoever has the power to put down a message with force will abuse the power. The WBC is a religious hate group, but it is also a group of peaceful people* who do not deserve to have force used against them.
(*Peaceful except for how they treat their children. They are monstrously abusive, according to Nathan Phelps, son of WBC founder and leader Fred Phelps.)

Trending toward cool: More chilly weather likely to begin August
CLEVELAND - Heat-lovers are going to be disappointed as we move into August.
The next batch of very chilly air, by late July and August standards, is poised to drop in as the clock strikes August 1, 2014. Or even a day or so before then. Several of the computer "models" we use are suggesting another BIG cool down to begin August. Where we normally have hot and muggy, we look to again have cool and fall-like. Take a look at the latest computer guidance products below.
Notice this American Computer Model known as the GFS. Its shows, above, a stark cold pool of air over areas east of the Rockies on July 31 into August 1. That's the blue and green colors. This graphic shows us "anomalies." That is: how far above or below average temperatures are expected to be for that period of time. Notice to core of the cool is over Ohio.
Notice, nestled in amongst the cool green colors, is an elongated area of purple stretching from North Central Ohio down into Tennessee. This forecast is hinting at temperatures on the 29 of July to average 16 to 20 degrees BELOW normal. Average highs are in the lower 80s for that day.
Now, keep in mind, this is many days away. It will likely change and adjust a bit as the forecast period gets closer. The important point to note here is the TREND. Its, once a gain a TREND TOWARD COOLER during a time when we traditionally are very warm. So, the heat of summer is once again likely to be missing in action....

Is there any software to compute and display furigana completely offline?
It doesn't have to be integrated with any existing app. A new standalone app I type into is fine.
I'm a little confused here. You want an app that you can type kanji into and get the kana in return. But the only way to type kanji into the iPhone is by typing it phonetically, which gives you the kana for free, essentially.
There are a number of self-contained Japanese dictionary apps for the iPhone. Most of them use the EDICT dictionary. I've got one that can import EPWING-formatted dictionaries, and have imported Kenkyusha's New Japanese-English Dictionary into it.
This seems like the closest to what you want. I think. I get the impression that it has the dictionaries built-in, but I could be wrong.
You have several apps available on the App store now - just search for Furigana.
I have a friend that likes this one, but YMMV:
It does not work offline, so it doesn't meet your requirements unless you fail to find any offline software and can relax that constraint.

Security Advisory
ZF2013-03: Potential SQL injection due to execution of platform-specific SQL containing interpolations
Zend\Db component in Zend Framework 2 provides platform
abstraction, which is used in particular for SQL abstraction. Two methods
defined in the platform interface,
quoteValue() and
quoteValueList(), allow users to manually quote values for
creating SQL statements; these are in turn consumed by aspects of the
SQL abstraction platform, including
and the
getSqlString() method provided in a number of
classes in the
Zend\Db\Sql namespace.
While these methods are primarily intended for debugging and logging purposes,
developers can use them to produce SQL that is then passed to the driver to
execute. Due to a flaw in how the
quoteValue() and
quoteValueList() methods were written, this can lead to potential
SQL injection.
The offending code is located in any of the
objects, particularly the
quoteValue() and
quoteValueList() methods. These
methods did not take into account most of the possible escapable characters
that would need to be escaped when attempting to create a quoted value for
interpolation into a SQL string. Moreover, these methods did value quoting
without extension level coordination which, when available, takes
character-sets into account when quoting.
Action Taken
We have made the following changes to the Platform objects:
- Platform objects now accept the Driver as an optional parameter. This
quoteValue()to use the driver level quoting/escaping mechanism to provide an "as safe as possible" value.
- If a driver level quoting/escaping function is not available, the
Platform object will throw an
- A new API was introduced for the use cases that need quoting without
the possibility of a warning being triggered:
You are only affected by this as an issue if you directly consume one of the following API's in your code, and execute the results with your database adapter:
Zend\Db and other components that utilize
Zend\Db never directly rely on interpolation of values into SQL
strings. This means that unless you find any of the above calls in your code,
or any code that effectively calls
quoteValue(), this issue does
not affect you.
If you do, however, we recommend immediately upgrading to either version 2.0.8 or 2.1.4.
While this advice can be found in many places, it is always worth repeating: you should never rely on interpolation of values into SQL strings; always use prepared statements / parameterization / extension specific value binding.
Other Information
