Google brings Latitude check-in service to Apple's Iphone
Fanbois can now become virtual gurus
INTERNET ADVERTISING BROKER Google has updated its Latitude application for the Iphone to include check-in services.
Following a similar update for Android, Google now allows Iphone users to check-in using its Latitude service. The company says that as users check-in to the same place repeatedly, their status, at least in its Latitude world, will grow from Regular to a VIP and finally to a Guru.
Sign-in services might allow you become a 'whale' in your own world, but for Google the real value behind this service is the ability to promote deals at a particular shop or restaurant. Google even admitted as much when it used the example that a user increasing their status in Austin, Texas, will result in unlocking money saving offers in 60 local businesses.
Aside from updates to Latitude, Google has also updated its Places application with support for 30 languages. The personalised recommendation application allows users to rate the places they have been to build up a behavioural profile for future recommendations. Behavioural profiles, could the powers that be know where we're going before we do? It is a whole new dimension to tracking surely?
Google's Latitude check-in service follows industry pioneers Foursquare and Gowalla. Even Facebook has revealed a similar service where it offers users discount deals based upon their location.
Both of these applications are vital to Google as the firm aims to build up its portfolio of augmented reality services as a viable revenue generation tool.
Given that many industry observers believe that Google missed out on the great social notworking bubble, the "Don't be evil" company is apparently working hard to ensure that it won't repeat that perceived mistake when it comes to augmented reality services. µ

LHC due for 2007 start
Jun 23, 2006
The CERN laboratory in Geneva has finally announced when its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will smash its first beams together -- November 2007. The date was announced today following a meeting of CERN's Council, and comes as part of a schedule drawn up to ensure that high-energy particle beams are produced as soon as possible.
The multi-billion Swiss Franc LHC will be the world's largest particle accelerator, colliding protons at energies of 14 TeV (14x1012 eV) to generate what physicists hope will be a slew of new particles, such as the Higgs boson and so-called supersymmetric particles. An extremely complicated machine to design and build, CERN was caught out in 2001 when it emerged that the LHC was to cost 30% more than originally envisaged and was also running behind schedule. The committee that reviewed CERN's operations in the light of these overruns recommended that the collider's start date be put back from 2005 to 2007, and the lab will have been anxious to ensure that this date does not slip any further.
According to the schedule released today, the last of the LHC's superconducting magnets -- which will guide the protons around the 27km ring -- will be installed in March 2007 and commissioning of the machine will then start in August of that year. Two months of collisions beginning in November 2007 will allow the accelerator and detector teams to test their equipment with a low-energy (0.9 TeV) beam. High-energy collisions, at 14 TeV, will then start in Spring 2008 and continue "until a pre-determined amount of data has been accumulated, allowing the experimental collaborations to announce their first results", according to a press release issued by CERN.
Although CERN is upbeat about its progress, stating that "all of the industrial procurement projects are coming to a conclusion, and the main technical challenges have been met", it nevertheless remains cautious about potential "logistical hurdles". "With a project such as the LHC, there are bound to be challenges," says CERN director general Robert Aymar.

Cassadee Pope is on a roll. She won 'The Voice' in Season 3. She landed a hit song with her first single, "Wasting All These Tears." Then a hit album, Frame By Frame. And then she released another hit song. And, of all things, she gets named to the New Faces line-up at Country Radio Seminar's annual bash at the Nashville Convention Center. Could it be true? Could Cassadee Pope be the first superstar from "The Voice?"
Yahoo News reported Feb. 22 that Cassadee Pope was one of the five breaking country artists named to the "New Faces" show, lighting up the stage with honored colleagues Brett Eldridge, Tyler Farr, Charlie Worsham, and Thomas Rhett. The only female on the list, Pope stood out. And as the only artist in the bunch that made their way to Country Radio Seminar's annual shout-out via a television show, her uniqueness was two-fold. Her lone female presence also spotlighted the difficulty with which women have breaking into the male-dominant country music field.
But she's got her foot in the door and the Fresh Faces show highlights those that country music radio believes will be Nashville's -- and, by extension, country music's -- next big thing. The way things seem to be going, she just might turn well-placed foot into a roundhouse kick powerful enough to get inside and play with the more established country artists.
Pope sang her latest hit, "I Wish I Could Break Your Heart," the follow-up to her Top 10 debut song, "Wasting All These Tears." She also showed the Convention Center her vulnerable song, singing "11" from her major label debut album, Frame By Frame. That particular song was released prior to the album, jumping to No. 38 on the Billboard Hot Country songs chart -- the highest of four promotional singles. She told the audience it was a song about her reaction to hearing the news of her parents' divorce at the tender age reflected in the song's title.
Frame By Frame bowed in on the Billboard Country Albums chart at No. 1, at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 in October and has spent sixteen of its 19 weeks of release on the latter chart (all of it on the Country Albums chart).
"I Wish I Could Break Your Heart" is currently hovering outside the Top 40.
And it all came about via her auditioning for NBC's hit reality singing competition, "The Voice." Mentored by country music's current leading male vocalist, Blake Shelton, Pope dominated the contest and walked away with the big prize -- a major label recording contract. No stranger to the music business, though, she had recorded an album and three Eps before with her band, Hey Monday. But "The Voice" gave her a platform to take her solo career national and she connected with the voting audience, taking the title and giving coach Blake Shelton his second of three consecutive wins as a team coach.
Cassadee Pope told Billboard magazine, after being named as one of the artists for this year's show, that she remembered being at the Country Radio Seminar last year and telling Scott Borchetta (founder of Big Machine Records, Pope's label) that she hoped to be up on the New Faces of Country Music stage one day. He assured her she would be -- "next year."
"I kind of giggled and just figured that wouldn't be enough time to get out there and get everyone's support," she went on, "but after a year of touring with Rascal Flatts, and visiting radio, it came true. It's an honor to know they voted for me, and want me to be there. So, I'm going to deliver the best I can."
"The Voice" franchise is undoubtedly hoping her best produces for them their first superstar. Already making inroads into the "American Idol" territory and coming close to overtaking the Fox Television juggernaut in the ratings in the last couple seasons, the hit series just might do it this go round: Season 6. And with Cassadee Pope making waves on country radio (along with Season 4 winner, Danielle Bradbery, who also scored a hit with country fans with her first single), the NBC series just might get a chance to force "Idol" to re-word its current slogan as the "only" singing competition to produce superstars.
With the nod at the New Faces show, country radio seems rather supportive of the idea. And that's not a bad crowd to have behind you when you're trying to push open doors in country music. Not a bad crowd at all.

Season 2011/12
Whitecaps game goes ahead
- 18 July 2011 23:31
- Posted by Simon Heggie
Manchester City's game against Vancouver Whitecaps will be played as scheduled this evening (7pm Pacific time).
Heavy rainfall in the Canadian city meant Empire Field has undergone around the clock work to clear the surface of water.
But, following an inspection at 1.30pm local time, the referee and both clubs deemed the pitch playable.
The game will be City's second in the Herbalife World Football Challenge, after Roberto Mancini's men beat Club America 2-0 in San Francisco on Saturday.

Florida Panthers: McArdle, Duco and Plante signed
The Panthers re-signed wingers Kenndal McArdle and Mike Duco and goalie Tyler Plante to one-year, two-way contracts today.
McArdle played a career high 19 games with the Panthers last season, recording one goal and two assists while taking advantage of a call-up from AHL Rochester because of injuries.
McArdle's season ended early, though, and he underwent surgery on both shoulders. McArdle will compete for a spot on the fourth line entering camp. If he doesn't make the team, I expect him to be one of the first call-ups from Rochester as needed.
Duco also can provide physical play.

Adrift and at Peace
this wiki
|The first 24 hours after surgery are critical. Every breath you take, every fluid you make is meticulously recorded and analyzed. Celebrated or mourned. But what about the next 24 hours? What happens when that first day turns to two and weeks turn into months? What happens when the immediate danger has passed, when the machines are disconnected and the teams of doctors and nurses are gone? Surgery is when you get saved. But post-op, after surgery, is when you heal. But what if you don't? The goal of any surgery is total recovery, to come out better than you were before. Some patients heal quickly and feel immediate relief. For others the healing happens gradually. And it's not until months or even years later that you realize you don't hurt anymore. So the challenge after any surgery is to be patient. But if you can make it through the first weeks and months, if you believe that healing is possible, then you can get your life back. But that's a big if.
Adrift and at Peace is the tenth episode and mid-season finale of the seventh season and the 136th overall episode of Grey's Anatomy.

Episode StillsEdit
- Callie: I am stubbornly choosing to believe that not all people are evil and bad and leave me at airports.
- Owen: Do you want to know what I think? I think you are reckless. I think you are reckless with your own life and today you were reckless with a patient's life. I don't care who you are. I don't want that in my OR, and I don't want that around my wife who is struggling just to hold on.
- Meredith: Your wife is struggling just to hold on because you married her and let it be OK for her to completely fall apart.
- Owen: You are fearless, and I don't mean that in a good way. Most people don't tell the guy with the gun to shoot them. Most people are like Cristina. Most people are afraid. So what she needs isn't what you need. She isn't you, Meredith.
- Meredith: I knew what I was doing. I knew I could do that second stitch, you knew I could do that second stitch and it were anyone else, you would have let them do it. But because I question how you handle Cristina, you chose to slap me down and let everyone know who's boss.
- Owen: Do you want to know what I think? I think you are reckless. I think you are reckless with your own life and today you were reckless with a patient's life. I don't care who you are. I don't want that in my OR and I don't want that around my wife who is struggling just to hold on.
- Meredith: Your wife is struggling just to hold on because you married her and let it be okay for her to completely fall apart. What is Cristina gonna do when she gets back from her fishing trip tonight? Tomorrow? Next week? Next month? Next year? Because we'll all be here working, and Cristina will be... Where?
- Owen: I don't know. I don't know, but she has the right to figure that out.
- Meredith: You don't know. Well, I know. Because I know Cristina Yang and she needs to work because surgery is who we are.
- Owen: You told the guy with the gun to shoot you. That is who you are.
- Meredith: What the hell does that have to do …?
- Owen: You are fearless, and I don't mean that in a good way. Most people don't tell the guy with the gun to shoot them. Most people are like Cristina. Most people are afraid. So what she needs isn't what you need. … She isn't you, Meredith.
- Teddy: I have great medical insurance.
- Henry: Way to kick a guy when he's down.
- Teddy: I'm... I'm saying... I'm saying that I'll marry you.
- Henry: Uh, that's a really generous offer, but I can't.
- Teddy: I'm a doctor. I took an oath, and I can't leave you now anymore than I could leave you bleeding out in the street.
- April: Sparkle... that was the name of my pony.
- Teddy: Cristina Yang is fishing today. She is one of the most talented surgical residents I have ever seen and she is fishing instead of operating, and that is partly my fault. I just want to do something good today. Make it up, pay it forward, whatever you want to call it. I just need to do some good.
- Cristina: Is this typical? I mean to go for hours without a bite?
- Derek: Well, the only thing predictable about fishing is that it's unpredictable.
- Cristina: Wow, that's deep.
- Derek: Yeah, why don't you ponder that for a while. Quietly.
- Cristina: I can't stop. I can't turn my mind off.
- Miranda: You want to do one of these?
- Lexie: Is that a trick question?
- Miranda: The trick is, how bad do you want it?
- Lexie: Um, when I was little, I wanted a pony ... Like, really, really wanted a pony. This feels a little bit like that.
- April: When I was little, I wanted a pony too, and you know what happened? I, uh, worked really hard, and I got one.

A monster barged into an elevator with a little 6-year-old boy and 7-year-old girl and somewhere between the first and fourth floors, he butchered the children with a knife. The little boy died from his stab wounds and the girl is fighting for her life in the hospital, according to the New York Daily News on June 3.
The Brooklyn butcher was identified by the father of the dead boy, when witnesses saw him run off the elevator and out the door. The description they gave is that of a homeless man who has been "taunting" the residents of this apartment complex where the stabbings happened, reports MSN News.
Prince Joshua Avitto, who was called PJ, was killed and was found in a pool of blood in the elevator. Little Mikayla Capers managed to crawl out of the elevator dripping with blood as the attacker fled.
The two kids were playmates and when they were told there were ices waiting for them, they boarded the elevator. They were in the elevator when this killer barged in and started to stab the children when the door closed.
He stabbed the children about the torso after telling them to "shut-up," report police. The FBI has been called in for help in finding this guy as he is a cold-blooded killer of the worst kind, going after helpless kids. They want to catch him before he has a chance to repeat this crime. They believe he may have also murdered a teenager in the same neighborhood.
The police sketch has been released and the public is asked for their help. Law enforcement officers have searched area shelters and soup kitchens in hopes that someone has seen this homeless man who may be the killer. Police said when the elevator stopped on the first floor, the killer fled, stumbling and almost falling at one point during his get away.
Both children were rushed to the Brookdale University Hospital, where PJ died. His little friend is in the hospital and although she is unable to talk, her mother said, she is able to follow the commands given to her by the hospital staff.
A $12,000 reward is offered for help in arresting this killer and police ask that anyone who has any information on this crime to please call 1-800-577-TIPS.

Attendance in the general lectures is free and open to the public.
Sven-David Sandström
Born in Sweden in 1942, Sven-David Sandström is one of the most important composers of our time, and certainly one of the most assured and distinguished in the field of vocal, choral, and
operatic music. He is the author of dozens of choral compositions, including a high mass, several oratorios, and three operas. In recognition of his preeminence in the field, German conductor Helmuth Rilling has commissioned him to compose a new Messiah to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Handel's death in 2009.
Sandström studied art history and musicology at the University of Stockholm from 1963 to 1967. He attended composition and classes with Ingvar Lidholm at the Stockholm Musikhögskolan from 1967 to 1972. He also took special courses in advanced techniques of
composition with Gyorgy Ligeti and Per Nørgård. Soon he was the recipient of numerous awards and prizes, including the Christ Johnson Prize and Major Award, the Nordic Council Award and the Buxtehude Award.
In 1981 Sven-David Sandström joined the faculty of the Stockholm Musikhögskolan. In 1983 he served as chairman of the Swedish section of the ISCM. A former professor of composition and pro-Rektor of the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, Sven-David Sandström is professor of composition in the Jacobs School of Music. This year will mark his retirement from teaching in the United States as he prepares to complete numerous commissions and devote his attention to training composers in the art of vocal and choral composition.
In his early works Sven-David Sandström made use of quarter-tone tuning. Later he turned to tonal and modal writing, and now he is recognized for a very personal and communicative style. His works have been performed throughout Scandinavia and Europe by the Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam, the Kroumata Percussion Ensemble, the Hogersten Motet Choir and others. His catalogue of published and performed compositions includes more than ninety works in various genres.
Recent large-scale works include De ur alla minnen fallna - Missa da requiem, for soloists, chorus and orchestra; High Mass for soloists, chorus and orchestra; the oratorio Moses for the 300th anniversary of the Oslo Cathedral; and the full-length opera Staden (The City). He is
published by Warner/Chappell, Nordiska Musikfrlaget and others; and recorded on BIS, MAP, CBS and other labels.

Julie Bishop pauses at the tribute to victims of MH17 outside the Dutch embassy in Kiev. Photo: Nick Miller
Julie Bishop has arrived at the Dutch embassy in Kiev for a day of talks with Ukrainian officials about the MH17 disaster.
She said the sea of flowers and stuffed toys outside the embassy reminded her of the children who died on the Malaysia Airlines flight last week and reinforced her determination to succeed in Thursday's talks.
"It's so unspeakably sad," Ms Bishop said after stopping to look at the thousands of flowers, candles, toys and messages heaped in front of the embassy.

"The more I become involved in this matter in trying to get a resolution for our families at home, I understand how much pain and anguish there is across the world.
"Seeing these flowers and tributes and toys reminds us there were 80 children on board that flight."
She then headed inside to begin talks with Dutch Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans, accompanied by Angus Houston, who is heading Australia's recovery and investigation team in Ukraine.

Ms Bishop and Mr Timmermans were in Kiev to get "the necessary authorisations so that an aircrash investigation and a crime investigation can commence without delay", she said.
The two will hold a joint meeting with Ukraine's Foreign Minister, discussing options for securing the site to ensure the safety of those still looking for human remains and to establish what caused the tragedy.

2008 Research Summary
Aluminum and Nickel Nano-Electro-Mechanical Relays for Low Power Electronics
View Current Project Information
Joanna Lai, Hei Kam, Borivoje Nikolic and Tsu-Jae King Liu
Power consumption in current CMOS technology has emerged as a major challenge as transistor gate lengths continue to scale. The static leakage power has emerged as a major concern due to the exponential increase with gate length and gate dielectric reductions. Scaling power supply voltages in current technology has proven difficult due to fundamental limits for subthreshold swing (S ≥ 60 mV/dec).
We propose a novel nano-electromechanical (NEM) relay to achieve ideal switching behavior and subthreshold swings below the 60 mV/dec limit. The relay consists of a mechanically-actuated metal-insulator-metal (MIM) stack, positioned so that it can short the source and drain electrodes located in a separate plane. The lower metal layer is the gate electrode, which is a cantilever beam. An insulator electrically isolates the gate from the top metal layer, the metallic channel. The mechanical gate is actuated by a voltage difference applied between the gate and a separate body electrode. In the off-state, no conduction path exists to connect the source and drain electrodes, thus allowing zero leakage current. In the on-state, the metallic channel shorts the source and drain, providing low on-state resistance.
Prototype NEM relays and simple logic gates such as inverters, NAND and NOR logic gates, and ring oscillators are being fabricated. The mechanical properties of aluminum and nickel are being optimized. As well, silicon or molybdenum sacrificial layers for nanogap formation are being investigated to achieve this device. Due to the low-thermal budget in the fabrication, the NEM relays can be fabricated directly over CMOS electronics.

The sun shined bright with mild temperatures and just a bit of a wind for the 10th Annual Lake Como 5K held on Saturday, April 12, 2014 in Lake Como, N.J.. It was a perfect 10 kind of day for the nearly 400 participants in the race that started and finished at Bar Anticipation in Lake Como, N.J.. It was a flat and fast course around the lake into neighboring Spring Lake..
Coming in first among the 374 finishers overall and for the men was Matthew Riley of Point Pleasant in a time of 14:38. He was followed by Ken Kropac of Lake Como in 14:55; Jeff Proper of Wall in 15:23; Scott LaPiedra of Staten Island in 15:52 and Ryan Duffy of Clark in 15:58.
For the women breaking the tape was Dactilla Booth of Long Branch in 15:23. She was followed by Meagan Drapkin of Brick in 16:07; Lis Marie Sbarbara of Staten Island in 18:01; Jacquelyn Lacouzz of Spring Lake in 18:02 and then Orla Seidel of Wall in 18:53.
These were apparently all personal bests on what was a "No Way 5K' course. After the race all the runners were awarded with a celebratory party and barbecue outdoors.
The race kicked off a busy weekend of running. A 5K beginner's running class will be starting on May 13, 2014. The class is perfect for anyone who would like to run their first 5K - click here for more information. Upcoming events are posted on The Race Calendar.

The Catholic Church didn't proclaim the Eucharist to be the actual body and blood of Christ only in 1215. This belief goes back all the way to the Apostles (actually, to the words of Christ himself, recounted in John, but I know non-Catholics will interpret the text differently). One need only consult the writings of St. Ignatius of Antioch to establish the historicity of the Catholic belief in the Real Presence. The Church began to utilize the term "Transubstantiation" in the Middle Ages. That much is true. The Greeks had several other words to describe the change of substance in the Eucharist after consecration, but in the Latin Church, the favorite term was the aforementioned, championed by St. Thomas Aquinas.
Greg Allen
April 28th, 2014 @ 3:22 pm
Amen. Dr. Brown!
I totally agree that the root of the holocaust were hatred towards the Jews. People who hate will believe even the most outrageous lies. And lies can lead to terrible things.
In that spirit, I would encourage you to put a damper on callers who express their hated for President Obama and/or say lies about him. You had two callers today who needed to be corrected but you led what they said about Obama stand.
Greg Allen
April 28th, 2014 @ 3:35 pm
I'm one of those people who don't interpret John that way.
Yes, I'm a Protestant but I am pretty sure that lots and lots of Catholics believe exactly as I do.
In fact, you are the first person I've heard, in a long time, who defends transubstantiation. Do you honestly believe that the communion bread and win literally — in some sort of scientific sense — turn into flesh and blood?
In my church, we think of it like the phrase "here in the flesh" and we believe that Jesus comes among us as we take communion. Yes, in a real sense but not in a scientific sense.
Unlike a lot of churches, we don't put any membership or doctrinal requirements on communion. We view it more like other churches view an "alter call" — anyone who wants to encounter Jesus is welcome.
Greg Allen
April 28th, 2014 @ 3:47 pm
That was an amazing testimony of the Holocaust survivor who had a guard come up to her and ask forgiveness.
The most humbling was that she still wanted to kill him, even after she has just spoken on forgiveness! Yet, words of forgiveness came out of her mouth, even as she had revenge in her heart.
I think this may be a prime example of the commandment in Philippians to "work out your salvation in fear and trembling."
While the saving work of Jesus is final and eternal, we humans still have a lot of work to do!
And, for victims of horror — it's a lot more work than for most of us. It's wise to stay humble about other people's struggles in their Christian walk.

RE: >>From Holocaust Remembrance Day to Gay "Marriage" at the Grammys
It strikes me as a perfectly reasonable linkage. Tolerance of Jews and gays are almost completely parallel in Europe all the way up until the Nazi tried to exterminate both.
But John Boswell, in his important book documenting this, said it better than I can:
"Most societies, for instance, which freely tolerate religious diversity also accept sexual variation, and the fate of the Jews and gay people has been almost identical throughout Euripean history, from early Christain hositility to extermination in concentration camps. The same laws which oppressed Jews oppressed gay people.; the same groups bent on eliminating Jews tried to wipe out homosexuality; the same periods of European hsitory which could not make room for Jewish distinctivelness reacted violently against sexual nonconformity; the same countries which insisted on religious uniformity imposed majority standandards of sexual conduct; and even the same methods of propoganda were used against Jews and gay people—picturing them as animals bent on the desctruction of the chilfren of the majority."
Dr. Michael L Brown
April 28th, 2014 @ 5:22 pm
As always, I appreciate you listening, but I have no clue what you're referring to re: callers and President Obama. First, he's hardly a topic of discussion of my shows; second, no one today brought him up in any substantive way.
Re: Jews and gays, the comparison is quite off target for many, many reasons.
April 28th, 2014 @ 5:38 pm
Perhaps I should not have brought this up in the first place. I'm glad Dr. Brown spoke about the false accusations leveled by the Catholic Church against the Jewish people. This is something that Catholics should not run away from but confront openly and honestly. I think the Church has been doing a good job repairing relations with Jews, even on behalf of all Christians. In any event, I do believe and affirm that the body and blood of Christ, with his human soul and his divinity, are truly and really present in the consecrated host. I cannot speak for the beliefs of all Catholics but this is what the Church teaches. Moreover, the Church has always taught this, and this was my point in the first place. Our common baptism makes us brothers in Christ to be sure, but we must understand that there are serious doctrinal differences which continue to separate us, which cannot be marginalized.
April 28th, 2014 @ 10:21 pm
If I had my choice of touring any two places in this world, one would be the Holy Land, and the other would be Hitler's death camps.
If I meet anyone who doesn't believe the suffering and killing was as bad as they say, I think I should ask if they have visited any of those places.

Dr. Brown,
On today's show you had one caller blame "the Obama regime" (I'm pretty sure thats a quote) for the 50 million abortions and perpetrating another holocaust.
This is just unfair — abortions rates are considerable lower under Obama than during the "Reagan regime" for example.
But, you just let that comment stand.
Another caller accused Obama of arming terrorists who attack Israel. I don't know what she was referring to but, again, you let the comment stand.
This is just irrational hatred of our president.
No offense, Dr. Brown, but if you are really against irrational hatred, you should be sensitive to it, even when it isn't directed at you.
Do unto others… and all that.
Greg Allen
April 29th, 2014 @ 8:15 am
Dr. Brown,
>>Re: Jews and gays, the comparison is quite off target for many, many reasons.
The comparison is this — in Western Europe, gays and Jews have been persecuted by the same people, at the sames times, in much the same way.
Re-read the quote. It's hard to argue against.
I just recently read John Boswell's "Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality" and he documents this parallel quite thoroughly. It won the National Book Award and I assume you read it in your research.
April 29th, 2014 @ 8:17 am
"This is just unfair — abortions rates are considerable lower under Obama than during the "Reagan regime" for example."
> As governor or California Reagan made abortions legal in California in 1967, 6 years before the rest of the country. How do you like him now Reaganites? Reagan raised the debt ceiling 18 times during his time as president. That's hilarious! This guy napped and watched cowboy movies all day while his wife and an astrologer made every important decision made for 8 years! Reagan NEVER made a major decision without consulting the stars. What a fine Christian man he was! Hahahahahahahaha… It's all true!
April 29th, 2014 @ 8:44 am

April 29th, 2014 @ 9:30 am
Thank you to Church in the city (Michale Walker)
who gave a correct and good message on the Christian responsibility in the holocaust.
We must stand and face the truth of the matter to understand not only how to avoid this evil in the future, but to know the truth about what God is doing today for Israel for the whole world. This is a revival that is teaching the christian church to the heart of God. This movement is all on the same page!

It's true, Reagan was not such a great Christian after all. All of these Republicans are hypocrites. Do you folks know that the Bush family co-founded Planned Parenthood? Anyway, Dr. Brown doesn't identify as a Republican.
April 29th, 2014 @ 9:48 pm
Just so few years removed from this tragedy have these dark deeds ceased to horrify us is that we are accustomed to it. What are the causes of our indifference, our lukewarm attitude to such deeds, to such signs of the times, ominous of an unenviable future? Is it our cynicism, is it the premature exhaustion of intellect and imagination in a society that is sinking into decay, in spite of its youth? Is it that our moral principles are shattered to their foundations? or is it, perhaps, a complete lack of such principles among us? I cannot answer such questions; nevertheless they are disturbing, and every citizen not only must, but ought to be harassed by them.
April 29th, 2014 @ 11:44 pm
When we think of the Holocaust shouldn't we think about hell also? It seems to me that the Holocaust should remind us of hell.
Greg Allen
April 30th, 2014 @ 7:54 am
>> It's true, Reagan was not such a great Christian after all. All of these Republicans are hypocrites.
Not "after all" – it was perfectly clear, at the time, that Reagan was what is commonly called a nominal Christian. (I prefer the term cultural Christian.)
Reagan was deliberately _marketed_ as a devout Christian and conservative Christians fell for it hook-line-and-sinker.
I am not even criticizing Reagan's Christianity. I think that a cultural Christian could make a fine president.
But, I do criticize my fellow Evangelicals for being such dupes, politically, who fall for the most transparent attempts to market to them.
>> Do you folks know that the Bush family co-founded Planned Parenthood?
I did not know that. (Obviously, this doesn't bother me because I'm pro-choice, myself.) I see from Wikipedia that was Prescott Bush and a long time ago. Birth control was a very different issue back then.
>> Anyway, Dr. Brown doesn't identify as a Republican.
I can't imagine him voting for a Democrat!
Dr. Brown is clearly up to his ears in political conservatism, especially the "culture wars" wing of it.
I think this is where he makes his most mistakes, biblically.
Like a lot of self-styled bible scholars, he tends to start with his own personal identity and experiences and expand out from there.
This would include his own personal disaster with 60s liberalism. A LOT of "culture war" conservative activists had a bad experience with the 1960s! It's remarkable, to, now common that story is.
In Dr. Brown's case, he can't seem to read the bible outside of that experience.
But, obviously, the Bible was written in the 1960s and much of the "culture wars" is not directly addressed by the bible. So, Dr. Brown reads those issues into the bible. (unwittingly I suspect)
Is Dr. Brown a Republican? I don't know. Is he part of modern conservatism? Through and through. Just look where he posts his articles!
World Net Daily! Talk about a cesspool of irrational hatred and lies. It's one of the worst. Yet, Dr. Brown sees no contradiction in posting an article about irrational hatred on WND!

You are speaking for yourself, not me. I am still horrified by the Holocaust. The people I know are still horrified by it. Lots and LOTS of people are still horrified by it. Not just Christians and Jews, either.
FYI — when I hear people use "us" and "we" language, I assume they are projecting their own worldview on to everybody. (as we all do 😉 )
But, I know you better. You do care about these issues.
So why do you include yourself in such broad and dubious generalizations?
Greg Allen
April 30th, 2014 @ 8:11 am
>> When we think of the Holocaust shouldn't we think about hell also? It seems to me that the Holocaust should remind us of hell.
How so? Do you think the Jews were being punished by God for their sins, like in hell?
I would disagree with that in the strongest terms.
As for me, I see Hell and the Holocaust as very different. (except, of course, that they both are horrible.) They certainly have different theological explanations.
The people in hell are their because of their own sins. The people in the concentrations camps were they were victims of the sin of others. Very different.
April 30th, 2014 @ 9:55 am
Christians insist God is always in control. So how does the holocaust fit in with God's plan?
April 30th, 2014 @ 10:19 am
There is passage after passage prophesying that Israel will be punished for their sin and rebellion against YHWH and that they will be scattered into all the nations of the earth and be persecuted and that in the last days they will be regathered to the land of Israel…rapidly…miraculously. Now they are back in the land miraculously. A nation and people that was completely obliterated has been resurrected. The Holocaust was instrumental in the birth pains of Israel being born.
All that said, there are also prophesies about what will happen to those that abuse Israel. These we have seen come to pass over and over. Germany was taught a great lesson, as was Babylon, and Rome, and Assyria, and Egypt and we and the rest of the nations of the world would do well to learn from history and prophesy.
When are you going to stop dodging and man up and answer the charge that you lied and misrepresented Schweitzer? In case you and others have almost forgotten, here is a gentle reminder of the challenge:
Why should anyone listen to you when you have been proven wrong and won't admit it? Why should we listen to a troll?
One who posts a deliberately provocative message…with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument."- http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=troll
When are you going to answer the charge that you took Scweitzer out of context? Did you do it intentionally or were you duped by someone and then just regurgitate the lie? At least admit that you were wrong, even if you won't tell us your motive. Don't dodge or ignore this if you are an honest man. To refresh you memory, here is the challenge:
Below is one of many examples of Van's deception technique. He has been asked repeatedly to either admit that he has posted false testimony or to produce verification of his assertion. After being called on the carpet, he conveniently ignores all rebuttals and continues to regurgitate deception mixed with a huge amount of rhetoric, vitriol and insult. He is not to be taken seriously as scholar or a commentator. He is a troll, and nothing more.
Van wrote:
"'There is nothing more negative than the result of the critical study of the life of Jesus. The Jesus of Nazareth who came forward publicly as the Messiah, who preached the Kingdom of God, who founded the Kingdom of Heaven upon earth, and died to give his work its final consecration, never had any existence.' – Albert Scweitzer (1875-1965)
You just accused Albert Schweitzer of being classless, unqualified, and simple minded. Par for the course for people who have no respect for intelligence and education.
Many scholars have tried to find evidence from outside the Bible that Jesus really existed. They came up with nothing, absolutely nothing as Dr. Schweitzer said.
You people have bought into all the lies of religion and then you repeat these lies without any hint of a conscience. Calling me a liar when all I do is speak the truth just shows how backward your evil religion really is."
Sheila responded:
"Well, it's a classic move by you to rip a quotation out of context. Who is it you're listening to? It makes no sense for you to drop what you think is a bombshell when all you've done now is make yourself look more foolish because you never considered that Google just might have Schweitzer's book on line.
Anyone who cares to can read further down the chapter and see that Schweitzer was referring to the historic Jesus as He was portrayed by the modern theological historians of his own time. His thought was that "That" Jesus never existed… His point was that we end up molding Him according to our modern way of thinking categorically. We essentially risk minimizing the astonishing profundity of His teachings.
This link begins with the quote you gave us and then explains exactly what Schweitzer was getting at. The man made the cross he wanted on his own grave, for Pete's sake.
http://books.google.com/books?id=uzRXxvPsylkC&pg=PA478#v=onepage&q&f=false "
To date, Van still ignores the proof of his irrelevancy. He continues to persecute in the only way he as power to do. That power, in this instance, being the grace of Dr. Brown. Be sure to thank YHWH that Van is not in any governmental position where his bigotry and prejudice can do more harm.
2 Timothy 3
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

The making of Bonnie & Clyde
"...What happened today was far worse than either of us could have ever predicted. What happened today was catastrophic..."
Day 1
The Austin Cambridge A60 is a glorious car. Driving along the A10 through Tottenham, one feels like a king among men. Pedestrians stop and stare as you pass, not because they are confused at the sight of you struggling to get into second gear, but because you look simply magnificent. Other vehicles are impatient to pass you, not because of your 43 miles an hour maximum speed, but because they are desperate to catch a glimpse of the hero in the driver's seat. Today was going to be a beautiful day.
And it really was a beautiful day, a brilliant blue ceiling decorated with a golden sun, not a cloud in the sky. Not particularly useful when you're trying to shoot a film outdoors. Furthermore it's the 6th day of October and we are in England. We are therefore all dressed for winter. Last week was winter and next week will be winter. But not today. Oh no. Today shall be the hottest day of the year so far. Beautiful.
Nevertheless we find a spot sheltered by the trees and we begin to set up. As I sit in the car trying to get into costume without exposing myself to passers by and their dogs I hear the sounds of panic coming from the field. I rush to find the cause of this alarm and am met by a pale-faced Louis who is freaking out and taking huge strides across the field with his head in his hands. What could possibly be the matter? He has lost the screw that connects the matte box to the camera. Is it important? YES IT'S ESSENTIAL, he yells, WE CANNOT CONTINUE WITHOUT IT. Shouldn't you have been more careful with it then, I think to myself but decide it would not be so helpful to voice this question. I am used to this scenario at home. Louis is like a puppy who buries all of his possessions in the most unusual of places and then forgets their location. I have become accustomed to this eternal game of hide and seek in which Louis approaches me and declares that such and such a thing is missing and must be gone forever then sits looking forlorn whilst I retrieve said thing. For some reason I thought he might be more careful today. Damn you misplaced trust. We drop to our hands and knees and begin searching for this needle in a haystack. After what feels like a hopeless eternity in which we have scoured a square mile of field, Louis discovers his missing item... directly underneath the camera. Did I mention that Louis is also not very good at finding things?
By the time the calamity has subsided, the clouds arrive and the perfect light shines through on to our scenes. We could ask for no more, except perhaps an extra pair of eyes to monitor Louis at all times.
We wrap up, ahead of schedule, happy, exhausted, buzzing. Just enough time for a glass of wine and a celebratory high five before collapsing into bed.
Day 2
The Austin Cambridge A60 does not crack under pressure. The despicable dual carriageway known to its enemies simply as 'the A12' was sent to test us today. It was closed. It was the only route to our location. Bastard. We did nothing to harm the A12, we simply wished to pootle along it at the break of dawn and reach the coast by sunrise for a picturesque opening shot. Apparently the A12 objected. It did not, however, act alone in its vicious attempt to thwart our plans. Its accomplice? An 'incident'. No doubt this incident involved a certain species of clown, driving his shiny saloon whilst reading the Daily Fail and sipping on a soyabean latte. No doubt this clown, so engrossed in the large printed sheet, nearly missed his turning and pulled off sharply in front of a left hand drive lorry thus causing the 'incident' that closed the 'A12' and RUINED OUR MORNING!!! Bastards.
The Cambridge and I were forced to follow a diversion which was not yet signposted, guided only by a stubborn ass TomTom that was refusing to consider the possibility of taking any other route. This resulted in us getting lost and driving in exactly the opposite direction to our destination for approximately half an hour. Louis and Cino were slightly more fortunate, by the time they arrived at the roadblock, the diversion signs were in place. Their luck, however, soon ran out as they found themselves joining a queue of very slow moving traffic. Very, very slow moving traffic. What ensued was a series of panic-stricken phone calls that sounded something like this. Where are you now? I'm lost. What do you mean you're lost? I don't know where I am. What does the satnav say? It says I'm going the wrong way. Call Tim. You call Tim. (Tim is the kind council man who has sacrificed several hours of sleep on a Monday morning to meet us at the seafront to give us the keys to our locations. Tim must be told that he could have stayed in bed as we are not going to be arriving at our destination any time soon). Indecipherable yelling followed by hanging up of the phone.
The main problem with going the wrong way in the Cambridge on a country lane is that you must turn around. Apparently the invention of the three point turn came after the invention of power steering. Beforehand, the turn had infinitely many points and was a great deal more embarrassing, especially when surrounded by irate morning drivers who were already late for work. Eventually we were all facing the same direction and whilst we watched helplessly as the sun rose higher and higher in the sky, we followed diversions through sleepy villages that had never experienced so many cars in their entire existence. The village cats looked alarmed. The Cambridge, however, pulled out all the stops. On paper, this old lady should have overheated like a redhead in the desert. She should have wilted and spluttered through her tired lungs and collapsed at the side of the road in need of mechanical assistance and a glass of water. Instead, she ploughed on like a boss and finally we reached our destination, albeit with grey hairs that were not there when we left home. Thankfully, kind Tim had hidden the keys for us, in a location that even Louis was able to find.
Our struggle was not quite over as, arriving four hours behind schedule, we missed the sunrise completely and were faced with a flaming ball of gas piercing through our lens and no idea how to capture the opening shots that we had envisaged. Another closed road. But we are the foot soldiers of the filmmaking world. Armed with only a trench knife and threadbare boots, we must win the war. We put our heads together and searched for inspiration, and soon enough we found a diversion and we powered on through the shoot. With Cino laying flat on the back seat of the Cambridge chattering away about Portuguese houses, and a very expensive camera wobbling about on the bonnet, we drove up and down the promenade. Bonnie and Clyde were finally on the road.
Day 3
The Austin Cambridge A60 can smell your fear. It can reduce a grown man to tears. This morning it brought us to our knees.
It was the last day of filming with the old lady. We were tense. Just get us through one more day. Thus far the fears of overheating and exhaustion had not been realised. Surely it would not happen today...
It did not happen today. What did happen today was far worse than either of us could have ever predicted. What happened today was catastrophic.
We set off in the early hours with our fingers crossed for no more 'incidents'. No more than 400 yards away from our front door she refused to take the necessary step from second to third gear. It's early, we thought, she's just warming up. Nothing to panic about. We crunched her back into first gear and tried again. We made it another 200 yards and holy crap she won't go into gear. We are losing speed, begging her to shift, before we know it she's rolling backwards and we've taken out a tail light. Please God no. Not today. Yes today. We roll her back to the side of the road while the crushing reality slowly sinks in. The star of our film has broken gear syndrome. She will not drive us to victory.
At first we sit, dumbfounded, speechless, incredulous. This quickly turns to blind panic, hysteria, delirium and finally sad acceptance. The show's over. Our efforts wasted. It's time to go home. Only we can't get into reverse...
Resigned to our fate, we introduced a new character into our tragedy. The AA. They would play Charon, the ferryman of Hades who would carry us to hell. Whilst we waited Resh arrived and we had a ham sandwich. He then announced that he had something for us. He disappeared into his car boot and re-emerged rather suspiciously. He looked around before approaching us gingerly, something concealed within his jacket. He carefully unravelled the cloth to reveal a 5 inch pellet gun that he thought might be useful for the robbery scene. To be honest it was more James Bond than Bonnie and Clyde but it put a smile on our faces. The other thing that Resh had brought with him was hope. We started allowing ourselves to contemplate the possibility that Charon might actually get us back on the road. No, he couldn't possibly, it's not worth considering... is it?
Charon arrived in the form of a bald, bespectacled, yellow jacketed fellow named John. He popped the 50 year old bonnet and got to work whilst we held our breaths. A few pumps of the clutch and a gasp. We have second gear people! We can do this! A few more pumps and we have third! Surely first gear is within our grasp. And there it comes, that golden moment where she glides into position and we rejoice! She is alive! We are saved! She is fixed! Life is wonderful! We approach John to embrace him and hail him as our hero but he is shaking his shiny head. She needs a new slave cylinder. A what? Where may we purchase such an instrument? John announces that he will follow us to KwikFit and then he can do no more. Another kick in the teeth. On the drive to Kwik Fit, one thought occurred to us... we are driving to KwikFit. If we can drive to KwikFit how much further can we drive? John, how far can we drive without this slave cylinder of yours? Welllll, he rubs his chin, you could probably get from A to B. I see, and how about from A to E then back to A and then maybe on to C again? You might be alright. We'll take that fellas, all stations GO GO GO!!!
On a wing and a prayer and with one eye closed we hit the road, hoping to catch up on lost time. An hour later and we were all there, exactly where we were supposed to be three hours earlier, but better late than never. We began immediately and worked tirelessly, making every minute count until the sun bowed out to the night and disappeared beyond the horizon.
Against all odds, we did what we set out to do and the robbery scenes were in the bag. We arrived at home, emotionally battered, nerves frayed, thankful for great friends and that little bit of luck that got us through.
Day 4
Grain Tower Battery is a 19th century anti-invasion fort located a thousand metres away from shore at the Isle of Grain. In other words it is in the middle of the sea. This is today's location. Having learnt from three days of disaster, we have prepared ourselves for the worst case scenario... drowning.
During low tide the tower is just about accessible by a path running from the shore along the sea bed. This path would not pass any health and safety assessments. In fact, fifty percent of the path does not qualify as a path at all. Our wellies prove to be useless as we wade along knee deep in water in our first scout of the location. That's right, our first scout of the location is occurring the exact same day as our first shoot at the location. Splendid.
We arrive hoping to find some nice safe steps to lead us up into the tower. Of course there are no nice safe steps. There is instead a thin blue rope hanging down a wet, stony, 10 foot wall. This is our only entrance into the tower. I'm not climbing the rope. You ARE climbing the rope. We start climbing the rope. So, it turns out the worst case scenario is not drowning after all...
Whilst I try to avoid falling to a very premature death, one thought becomes prominent in my mind. If we survive this now, we must repeat it tomorrow whilst carrying a lot of very expensive film equipment. Super.
Once inside the tower of doom, our predicament does not improve. Grain Tower is a graffiti covered labyrinth of badly lit passages and chambers. The darkest of rooms have giant open hatches in the floor. What genius conceived that brainchild? Where shall we put the big holes Stan? Let's put them in the dark rooms where no one can see them. Won't people fall through them? Stan shrugs. Great work Stan. It turns out that Stan was also in charge of the ceilings. There are five steps leading to an opening where the sun shines through so brightly that it blinds you. As you mount the fourth step a 4 foot ceiling comes out of nowhere. Stan's pièce de résistance. Its sharp concrete edge sits quietly in the darkness, waiting patiently for its victims like a deadly sniper. Today's victim, Resh. The sweet boy that has volunteered his time to help us, in return for nothing other than our love and the occasional sandwich. His gentle, peanut shaped head meets the concrete with a spine-tingling crunch and Oh Christ we've killed him! Our friend is dead, we are a mile aways from shore, we can't even get him down the rope let alone down the path. We shall have to leave him here for the seagulls. As we contemplate what to tell his mother, he turns out not to be dead at all. Phew. I consider the irony, you can't open the windows in most hotels in this country in case you fall to your death and yet here is a dilapidated tower just off the coast of Kent, where the possibilities for life-terminating activities are endless...
We exit the tower of death and return to the car for our equipment. The perils of the tower will return tomorrow but for today we are filming the externals. We plod up and down the path for a few hours, nearly losing Resh again when he stands still for too long and begins to sink into the mud. This time when the sun becomes too bright to film we breathe a huge sigh of relief. We can go home for a bath and an early night and hope that our psychological state will improve by the morning.
Day 5
Grain Tower Battery would either make or break us today. Both outcomes had equal probability.
All week the temperatures have been unusually high. Unreasonably high. Today, on perhaps our most gruelling shoot, a mile out to sea in an exposed 200 year old wreckage, winter begins. The winds appear, they must be late for something as they are travelling at no less than 100mph. Grain Tower Battery is going to break us today. Outcome certain.
When we arrive the tide is still in. We take shelter in Resh's Volkswagen Polo and eat bananas for courage. In hindsight, knowing that this could have been our last meal, we should have feasted on something more exciting. Half an hour later, we load ourselves up and begin the trek along the muddy mile. The icy wind pierces our eardrums and renders our fingers useless. We march on and somehow survive the climb into the tower, all equipment in tact. Today Resh had brought torches, we shall not fall at the first hole in the ground. Louis goes off to explore and leaves us in a sheltered room. I look around at the beer cans, empty food packets and graffiti filled walls. Oh look, there's my name on the wall. That's weird. Oh, there it is again. And again, and again... and again. My name has been scrawled in every available space on every available surface. This is no longer weird, this is terrifying. I try not to dwell on it. Just then, Louis returns. He informs us that he has just come beak to beak with an enormous eagle. That doesn't sound like a good sign either. We set up anyway and begin filming, our confidence starts to grow with every scene and soon enough, thoughts of giant killer birds and graffiti omens are discarded. The tide is not even at its lowest point yet and we are powering through our shot list. We still have several hours ahead of us. We shall return as champions, bearing an SD card full of footage. People will cheer. Mothers will cry. Has anyone noticed that the water looks closer? No. Are you sure? Yeh it's fine, carry on. Five minutes later. That water definitely looks closer. Silence. We stare at each other. Just ignore it and it'll go away. Apparently this rule does not apply to the tide. We mark a rock for reference. Five more minutes. The rock has disappeared completely. Time to panic, we're only halfway through our schedule. We pick up the pace, one eye on the camera, one eye on the ever-approaching water. Over the next hour we experience firsthand a well known truth; that time and tide wait for no man, and they certainly won't wait for us. Moreover, this tide is no normal tide, this is a spring tide and its speed is alarming. We still haven't finished shooting and the water is getting dangerously close. Resh checks the path every few minutes, it's still there. We can't stop now. We have to get this. We keep pushing. One more shot. We grab our final shot and start to pack away. Louis goes to check the path a final time and returns screaming. WE HAVE TO GET OUT NOW!! I take his warning with a pinch of salt, he is prone to overreaction, but we pack as quickly as our frozen hands will allow. We hurry back to the blue rope, no time for torches, praying that our legs will avoid the hatches. When we get to the rope you can pinpoint the exact second that our stomachs simultaneously leap into our throats. It is the second that we notice the path is submerged. The unrelenting tide has surrounded the tower. It is racing us back to shore and it has a huge head start. We drop down the rope, grab our cases and with our eyes fixed on the part of the path that is still above water we start wading through. The water is almost waist high, we have no way of spotting the dips and crack that lay beneath. We can only hope. We check on each other constantly. The current is strong and the mud is thick. Jack is in front of me. He turns to look back and suddenly I find him powering past me and towards the tower. I turn to find that Resh has strayed off the path, he is stuck in the mud. In that split second we contemplate dropping the equipment to go back and pull him out but he has wrenched himself free. We keep powering on until we find ourselves back in the safety of dry land. We look back at the tower, now completely engulfed by the waves. Five more minutes and we would have been stranded there until night time. Or worse. We look at each other. We are soaked through, freezing cold and exhausted. We laugh. We did it. We don't know how but we did it. As we stumble back to the car, a horrifying thought dawns on us. We haven't actually finished. We have five more shots to get on land and no idea from where to summon the energy. We stop for lunch in the car. Resh changes into dry clothes whilst Jack and I look on enviously. We are in costume. The same soaking wet costume that we have to wear for the final scenes. We raid the lunch bag and take a nap in the car to numb the pain. An hour later, using all the strength we have left, we drag each other across the finish line. Bonnie and Clyde is wrapped.
We pause for a moment, reflecting upon the successes and smiles, the trials and the tribulations of the past five days. Suddenly it all becomes clear. When you make a film to honour the memory of a great man, a man who did things his way no matter how hard, a man who knew that nothing worth having comes easy, don't expect him to give you an easy ride. Expect him to throw down a gauntlet to see if you are brave enough. Expect him to throw hurdles in your path to see how high you can jump. And when you've done all you can and your energy is spent, you can count on him to shine that little ray of light that gets you through. This one's for you Vincent Cobb.

Yerba Mate is a nutritional supplement employed to develop a well-known South American tea. This tea is particularly famous in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. It is well-known for its intended health benefits, which are usually caused by its anti-oxidant attributes.
Yet, although Yerba Mate tea might include anti-oxidant elements which can be useful in endorsing a sound body in a couple of points, the supplement contains adverse elements as well, which may trigger undesired negative effects.
Tension: Yerba mate in products for instance Mixture Mate tea consists of flavonoids as well as caffeine derivatives, which implies the tea contains deoxidizing substances and caffeine intake. However antioxidants have beneficial effects on the body, caffeine does not. One negative effect of caffeine is muscle mass tension.
In accordance with the Yerba Mate Association of the Americas, a normal providing of This tea contains 40 mg of caffeine. However, the majority use up more than the standard helping, that could be only between 6 and 8 oz. This much carbonated drinks contributes to muscle tension and discomfort, especially in people who are susceptible to caffeinated drinks side effects.
Appetite Suppressant: This really is a fat binder. Even though it is regarded as a desired influence by a lot of people looking to slim down, it could be a negative side effect to other folks who are underweight or perhaps at a steady pound.
Since this tea leaf includes caffeine, which is a stimulant, it usually will cause you not to feel famished, which will, consequently, cause you to never eat.This might lead to critical health conditions as time passes, in case the physique is not getting adequate vitamins and minerals or maybe extreme weight is lost.
Sleep disorders: A sizable intake of mate tea could possibly lead to insomnia, in particular when it is used regularly on a daily basis. Users of this tea leaf may experience a failure to get to sleep at night, and this can be caused by the caffeine information in this tea. Insomnia can cause fatigue, loss of energy as well as moodiness the whole day. It may also lead to fatigue, which can grow to be a disease it is unwholesome.
Stomach: Yerba spouse tea could cause an upset stomach. When greater volumes of caffeinated drinks are used, the consequence is usually an annoyed stomach. This problem is worsened when the caffeinated drinks are used with a drain stomach and could even bring about vomiting in some persons.
The possibility of this effect is greater in women that are pregnant, who encounter feeling sick by now. Additionally, a lot of people will take in remedies if they cultivate an annoyed belly, as well as having an excessive amount remedies could possibly be harmful to well-being too.
Myths: The negative unintended effects are this tea are a couple and even slight. All of these unintended effects are as a result of the high levels of caffeine material of the evening meal, and many of such signs can be self-induced by ingesting a large amount of the evening meal. The suggested on a daily basis usage by Yerba Friend Relation of the Americas is 2 or 3 cups of Yerba Mate tea, containing only 3 or 4 grams of Yerba mate infusion.

Sunrise, whisper in my ear
Say the words I long to hear
Oh, oh, oh
Sunrise, later when it's hot
Even when it's not
Oh, oh, oh
At sunrise
Sunrise, sent the angels prayer
You were standing there
Oh, oh, oh
Sunrise, call my name out loud
Choose me from the crowd
Oh, oh, oh
At sunrise
Too much pain, too much pressure
And why must I have to wait so long
For the one that I treasure
Tomorrow that's when I'll be gone
Sunrise, catch a falling star
Wonder where you are
Oh, oh, oh
Sunrise, whilst the desert sleeps
Lonesome willow weeps
Oh, oh, oh
At sunrise

2008 Research Summary
Stochastic Games
View Current Project Information
Thomas A. Henzinger and Krishnendu Chatterjee
Stochastic games provide a uniform framework to model interaction between agents and components. These games are dynamic games, played over a state space and possibly for infinite rounds. Problems that arise in verification, planning, and control can be modeled as stochastic games played on state-transition graphs by one or two players whose conflicting goals are to form a path in the graph.
The class of ω-regular languages generalize classical regular languages to infinite strings and forms a robust specification language for verification. Classical notion of winning conditions that capture all ω-regular conditions are Rabin and Streett conditions, parity and Muller conditions.
We study perfection-information deterministic games with disjunction and conjunction of parity objectives and present efficient algorithms to solve such games in [1].
We study the strategy synthesis and complexity of perfect-information stochastic games with Muller conditions in [2].
We also introduce a logical framework that allow analysis of both zero-sum and non-zero-sum games in a concise and clean way in [3].

How do you set execute permissions on a .exe that is on a mounted image (.ISO file)?
Depending of the filesystem of you .iso you can also mount the image as executable by adding option
In case you just need to run a Windows .exe file with Wine you could also issue:
from a command line.
I would edit the ISO first with ISO Master (available from the software centre).
Double click your ISO and then navigate to the file you want to change the permissions.
Right-click the file and choose "Change Permissions"
Tick the check-box "x" as per this picture - this will change the execute bit for the user.
Then save the ISO. You can then remount the ISO using Archive Mounter and execute your executable file within the new ISO.
