The New Orleans Saints opened up a couple of potential spots on their 53-man roster Tuesday when they cut linebackers Victor Butler and Kevin Reddick as the team pared its players to 75.
I've anticipated the release of Butler for the past couple of weeks, so this doesn't come as a shock. Waiving Reddick is a small surprise as he was a core special teams player for the Saints all of last season and served on all the core specialty units this offseason.
These moves at linebacker certainly help undrafted linebacker Kasim Edebali. The free-agent signee from Boston College has quietly moved up the pecking order for the Saints as he's continuously caught the eyes of the decision makers.
Edebali has made several plays through training camp, including a fumble recovery on a botched toss to Pierre Thomas during Tuesday's final training camp session. He also took a couple of snaps with the first-team defense in seven-on-seven drills. Most important, Edebali played with the first unit on at least two special teams units.
There likely won't be too many undrafted rookie free agents who make this year's Saints roster at the start. Yet Edebali might have the best chance come Saturday's final cut-down day.
Cornerback Rod Sweeting, a member of the 53-man roster the entire 2013 season, also was waived Tuesday. But his roster spot was tenuous at best as numerous players jumped ahead of him on the depth chart early in training camp.
2. More love for P-Rob: Saints coach Sean Payton didn't dive too deep into how well cornerback Patrick Robinson has played in the week Robinson fully returned to practice.
But Payton and the Saints' staff have to be pleased with Robinson's quick progression. Robinson came up with two big plays Tuesday. He stripped the ball from Joe Morgan on a pass from Drew Brees during individual drills and batted away another Brees pass intended for Nick Toon in red-zone team drills.
Cornerback Champ Bailey, who seems resigned to the fact he'll be the primary backup for Robinson and Keenan Lewis, issued high praise for Robinson, saying he's seen Robinson do things at cornerback that others can't.
3. Kicker battle still at an impasse: There's no question indecision remains with the Saints' brass when choosing between kickers Shayne Graham and Derek Dimke.
The kicking units worked more Tuesday than they have in past practices. The results? Graham and Dimke each missed two kicks total in two separate kicking periods.
Payton said he's convinced both kickers will be employed by NFL teams this season. Of course, only one will be in New Orleans.
The beat goes on ...
4. Lagniappe: Uncharacteristically, Marques Colston dropped a couple of passes early in Tuesday's practice. He punished himself by doing pushups on his knuckles. I'm betting he learned his lesson just fine. ... I know I keep beating you over the head with Luke McCown being kept to make it three quarterbacks on the roster, but there was another indication Tuesday as to this being the case: McCown was the sole holder on kicks for Graham and Dimke.
5. Quotable: "The challenge was the reps and not having the reps needed to evaluate. We had a long talk yesterday. He's frustrated, I'm sure, just because of the early injury and the setback in training camp this year after the rehab. It's always difficult, especially when a player doesn't really have a chance to put his best foot forward." -- Payton on the Saints releasing Butler.

Summer is the perfect time to try out some new greens. Fresh, abundant at this time of year, and permitted on all Phases of the South Beach Diet, greens will not only enliven your salads but many also lend themselves to soups, pastas, stir-fries, and side dishes. Thanks to the vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other nutrients they contain, greens are an ideal addition to your diet. When paired with a non-meat protein such as beans or grains, they make a healthy main course for vegans.
So don't automatically reach for the same lettuce you always do the next time you're shopping. Instead, toss one of these greens into your salad spinner tonight.
Choose younger, smaller leaves of this slightly spicy green for your salad as they have a milder flavor than older ones. Toss with toasted almonds, goat cheese, and peach slices for a salad that's dressed with a balsamic vinaigrette.
With a pronounced bitter-sweet flavor and crisp texture, this green can be used on its own as a dipper or to enliven the flavor and color of a salad. Keep in mind that when endive is exposed to light, it tends to get more bitter and even become brown at the edges, so shop carefully and try to buy heads that have pale green tips and then wrap in paper towels and store in a cool, dark place until ready to use.
Look for white stems and bright green leaves when shopping for this veggie, which is actually a type of Chinese cabbage. Chop bok choy for salads or stir-fry both the stems and leaves with garlic and a little reduced-sodium soy sauce for a side dish. Add some lean protein, if you like.
Delicate and sweet, with a soft, round leaf, this buttery-textured lettuce (both Boston and Bibb are varieties) is ideal for salads but can also be used in place of bread for a delicious roll-up. Handle carefully as the leaves are tender.
The mildly flavored, wrinkled, pale green leaves of Napa cabbage can be eaten raw or cooked and pair nicely with boldly flavored vegetables such as scallions, red bell peppers, and maybe even a seeded and finely minced jalapeño. Dress with a lively vinaigrette containing reduced-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice wine vinegar.
This member of the chicory family has crunchy, curly, light green leaves and a slightly bitter flavor, so mix it with less assertive greens in a salad or use it in a hearty vegetable soup or a pasta dish.
Sure, it's so trendy that it's almost not anymore. But this versatile type of cabbage, which comes in many varieties, can be used anywhere you'd use spinach. Eaten raw and finely chopped, it makes a desirable salad ingredient. It's also good baked for kale chips. Remember, the longer you keep it in the fridge, the stronger the flavor becomes.
Okay, it's technically not a green at all, but this pink to deep-burgundy variety of chicory, which grows in heads that range from small cabbage size to elongated and loose-leafed, lends vibrant color to salads. Use it sparingly in salads, however, as the flavor can be strong, or prepare it as a side dish instead. Try sautéing radicchio in extra-virgin olive oil along with some spinach leaves and garlic, then combine with cooked brown rice, a sprinkle of sea salt, and some lemon zest.
Mildly flavored, with shiny, wavy, dark green leaves, Swiss chard is actually a member of the beet family, but is grown for its stems and leaves rather than its root. Its stalks can be green, yellow, orange, or pink. Use the leaves raw in salads, or chop the stalks and sauté them in extra-virgin olive oil while you wash and tear up the leaves. Add the leaves to the pan once the stems are tender, then continue to sauté for just a few minutes.
Its distinctive, slightly bitter, peppery taste makes this green a delightful ingredient in a salad or sandwich, but it's just as good in a soup. Toss it into a food processor with some other green veggies (think thawed frozen peas, pour in some lower-sodium vegetable or chicken broth to thin it, and add a fresh herb for extra flavor. Purée until smooth, transfer to bowls, and garnish each serving with a dollop of nonfat plain Greek yogurt or, on Phase 2, a few baked whole-wheat croutons.

greens, check out our recipes.

Hyperfocus on Making Love?
How do I keep my attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) mind on romance in the bedroom when it goes a million miles an hour? Can I learn to hyperfocus on lovemaking to improve my sex life? If so, what do you suggest?
First, tell your partner that being inattentive is an ADHD symptom, not a reflection on his sexual desirability. Second, understand that most people with ADHD can't snap into hyperfocus at a moment's notice.
The following strategies, however, may help ADHD adults improve their sex lives:
- Talk with your doctor about short-acting ADHD medication. Take these meds a half-hour or more before you make love to "calm" your brain for four hours.
- Engage in foreplay before you get into the bedroom by sending him romantic notes and e-mails, giving him flowers, and taking showers together. These stimulating activities may focus your mind when you finally get together.
- Play soft, gentle music to relax your racing mind.
- Vary your lovemaking, so that it doesn't become routine. Try new positions and make love in new venues. Playing sex games and using sex toys can also stimulate your interest in romance.
- If possible, exercise beforehand. Many studies show that aerobic physical activity focuses the brain. (Just remember to shower and freshen up before hitting the bedroom!)

General Equivalent Electric Circuits for Acoustic Horns
The continued fraction solution of the Riccati equation leads to equivalent circuits for acoustic horns of arbitrary shape. The elements of the circuits depend only on the geometric shape. Advantages and disadvantages of circuits equivalent to the input impedance and circuits equivalent to the transmission through horns are discussed. Numerical calculations are shown to be very easy, even for dissipative horns. Finally, the example of an application to the design of musical wind instruments is given.

I have searched for many websites for a definition of "task pool", but most descriptions are very vague. Anywhere I can find a precise definition of it?
More details.
- Are dependencies allowed in task pool?
- Can a running task exchange data with other running tasks?
- To phrase conversely, are tasks permitted to accept data only prior to start and permitted to publish results only after the task has finished?
- What keeps track of the temporary resources (memory, CPU etc) that are used by tasks?
- How to define weights that will encourage efficient task assignment?
- For example, if one task needs to pass a lot of data to the next task, it may make sense to run the next task immediately following the first task, and as close to the first thread / CPU / machine / cluster (locality) as possible
- What about tasks that are not known (do not exist) in the beginning, but were "created" later?

|Seizures in children with Cerebral Palsy
Almost half of children with cerebral palsy experience seizures. Placing something in the child's mouth when a seizure occurs is not what you want to do. Once a seizure is underway, though you can not stop it, you can take steps to make the child safe and comfortable. The passages and links below go into detail on what you can do when a child with cerebral palsy experiences seizures.
"The main things to remember in any seizure are to protect the child from harm and to monitor the seizure. Do not attempt to hold the child still or to prevent physical movement; instead, make the environment safe so that she cannot be physically hurt. It is important to remain with the child during the seizure.
If the child is in a sitting position, or standing or walking when you observe the seizure, help her to lie down, so that she will not fall and get hurt. If at all possible, place the child on a blanket or protected surface. Position the child on her side, supporting the head. Move all sharp objects out of the way, as well as any furniture. Pad any sharp objects that cannot be moved, to prevent the child from getting hurt. If the child is wearing restrictive clothing, loosen it, especially in the chest and abdominal area.
Do not put anything in the child's mouth. It used to be the practice to put a tongue depressor into the mouth and hold the tongue down. This is no longer done and can in fact be harmful. The child may clamp down hard with the teeth during the seizure and break either the tongue depressor or a tooth and choke on a piece of it.
Do not interfere with the seizure or try to stop it. Allow the seizure to continue without interruption. Check the child for breathing. If the child has stopped breathing, clear the airway and perform mouth-to-mouth breathing.
Call 911 or call for other emergency medical assistance if the following conditions occur:
Being able to describe the seizure for the doctor is very important, because it helps the doctor determine the diagnosis and management of the child's seizures. If you observe a seizure, take note of the following:
1. Before seizure
2. During the seizure
3. After the seizure
The most important thing to remember is to remain calm during a seizure. This will allow your to help your child during the seizure or get medical assistance if necessary." (Cerebral Palsy: A Complete Guide for Caregiving: p 334-335)
"About 50 percent of children with cerebral palsy have seizures – episodes in which abnormal nerve activity disturbs the functioning of the brain. Children with quadriplegia or hemiplegia are most likely to have seizures.
Seizures are common among children with cerebral palsy because brain injuries provide focus for abnormal nerve impulses to occur. Depending on where the abnormal activity occurs in the brain, seizures may affect children in a variety of ways. A child may have staring episodes; minor involuntary movements such as eye blinking, lip smacking, or arm jerking; or major convulsions with unconsciousness, stiffening of the body, and then violent spasmodic jerking of the whole body. When seizures occur repeatedly, they are diagnosed as epilepsy." (Children with Cerebral Palsy: p. 17)
"Once a seizure has begun, there is nothing you can do to shop it. But if you stay calm, you can make your child more comfortable and keep her from hurting herself. First, help ease your child to the floor and move obstacles out of the way. Turn your child on her side so the saliva can flow out of her mouth. Don't put anything between her teeth; no matter what you have heard, a child cannot swallow her own tongue. Also remember that it is usual for a child's breathing to become irregular, so don't be alarmed. After the seizure has run its course, let your child rest and be supportive. Help her get her bearings and understand what has happened.
If it is not your child's first seizure, it is usually not necessary to call a doctor right away. You should, however, seek emergency care immediately if your child's seizure is very active for more than ten minutes." (Children with Cerebral Palsy: p. 66)
"If your child's EEG confirms that she has seizures, the neurologist will discuss possible treatments with you. Usually anticonvulsant medication is recommended, since medication can reduce or eliminate seizures in about 90 percent of children with epilepsy. Medication might not be necessary if your child has febrile seizures or infrequent or minimal seizures such as brief staring spells occurring only every several weeks.
The type of medication prescribed for your child depends on the type of seizures she has. For tonic-clonic seizures, phenobarbital and phenytoin (DilantinTM) are most often used. Carbamazepine (Tegretol TM) is frequently used for psychomotor seizures. Valproic acid (Depakene TM) helps control myoclonic, absence, and tonic-clonic seizures. Other medications that might be used include clonazepam (Klonipin TM), primidone (Mysoline TM), diazepam (Valium TM), and ethosuximide (Zarontin TM). These medications may be used alone or in combination.
Although medications are very effective in preventing or reducing seizures when given regularly, they may also produce a variety of side effects. For example, they may cause hyperactivity behavior, irritability, sleep problems, growth of body hair, lethargy, depression, or sedation, and can affect liver function or blood counts. Because of these possible side effects, your pediatrician and neurologist must monitor your child closely when she is on medication. Through periodic blood tests, they will determine your child's therapeutic level – the amount of drug in the blood which usually controls seizures with a minimum of side effects"
If medications cannot control your child's seizures, a dietary approach to seizure control may be suggested. Specifically, your child may be put on the Ketogenic Diet, a very strict diet high in fat and low in protein and carbohydrates. This diet alters the body's metabolism so that the amount of ketone bodies – compounds normally excreted in the body's fluids – are greatly increased. This metabolic state can help control seizures. The diet works best for children under the age of five whose nutrition can be closely monitored. If this approach is considered for your child, the neurologist will refer her to a nutritionist." (Children with Cerebral Palsy: p. 65-66)
"As many as half of all children with cerebral palsy have seizures. During a seizure, the normal, orderly pattern of electrical activity in the brain is disrupted by uncontrolled bursts of electricity."
"Physicians usually prescribe drugs for those who have seizures associated with cerebral palsy, and these medications are very effective in preventing seizures in many patients."

When talking about the phases of the moon, one often hears (or reads) about the First Quarter Moon, the New Moon, and so on. What does Third Quarter mean? What does it look like? When does a First Quarter Moon rise and set? And how am I supposed to remember all that?
Here is a series of articles written to address exactly those questions. They were originally written to be read in the order listed. You can, however, jump to whichever article is of most interest and read the others as needed or desired.
New Moon
First Quarter Moon
Full Moon
Third Quarter Moon
Dark of the Moon
In these articles you will learn (or re-learn) what each of those terms and phrases mean, what each phase looks like, and how to locate the Moon when she is in each phase. While these articles do not deal directly with ritual structure or spellwork, the information is useful when planning rituals and designing spells. Being familiar with these ideas is definitely an asset to the practicing Pagan.
Bright blessings to you in your studies and on your journey.

REU Experience Can Change People's Lives
The National Science Foundation has funded a number of these summer research programs for undergraduate physics students for about 20 years, but in the past 15 years the leaders of programs at different sites haven't gotten together to discuss what works. One goal of the recent meeting was to produce a report collecting best practices, said APS education consultant Cathy Mader, a co-organizer of the workshop.
Most undergraduate physics majors engage in some sort of research experience. Many do so at their home institution, while 23% participate in an REU, which provides them an organized summer research experience away from their home university.
One of the workshop steering committee members, Sherry Yennello of Texas A&M University, emphasized the value of these programs. "What you guys are doing is critically important," she told the participants.
Larry Josbeno of Corning Community College said that students return from their summer research experience excited about physics research. "These programs have changed people's lives," he said. "I've never had a student that had a bad experience in an REU program."
The workshop included informal, seminar-like conversation as well as presentations and panel discussions. Participants and panelists discussed administrative models, focusing on sharing the responsibilities across multiple facilities. Ideas proposed included wiki-forums, blogs, and other web forums to foster better communication among REU Principle Investigators. They also discussed management schemes, central coordination of REU programs, and better communications and management methods for Principal Investigators.
One session focused on increasing minority participation. Proposed ideas included putting a gold sticker on minority applicant's files, and having a common application date for all REU programs. Other methods some REU leaders have found useful were making connections with historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and minority serving institutions, and advertising the REU programs at the NSBP/NSHP (National Society of Black Physicists/ National Society of Hispanic Physicists) meetings.
Participants said they found the workshop useful "It was helpful to hear how other site directors run their programs; every site seems to have its own unique qualities. I believe the REU program is very important, and was especially impressed by the efforts to reach out to minorities and women," said Kristan Corwin of Kansas State University.
APS encourages the redistribution of the materials included in this newspaper provided that attribution to the source is noted and the materials are not truncated or changed.

The Philadelphia 76ers have set one of the worst losing streaks in NBA history through many blowout losses. As such, the Sixers should have broken the record for Philadelphia's worst losing streak with another slaughter to the Indiana Pacers on March 17. Instead, the Pacers actually gave the Sixers hope before finally escaping with a 99-90 victory, as well as Philadelphia's record-setting 21'st straight loss.
The night was rough from the start for the Eastern Conference leading Pacers, who yielded an early 15-6 deficit. Even when Indiana came back and took an eight point halftime lead, Philadelphia didn't go on to lose by 20-30 points, like usual. In fact, the Sixers even briefly went ahead in the third, thanks to a 6-for-27 shooting performance by the Pacers in the quarter.
But since Indiana is Indiana and Philadelphia is Philadelphia, the tide turned in favor of the hosts. Still, the Sixers got as close as three points down with over two minutes left, before George Hill hit a dagger three-pointer and forced a steal that led to a Roy Hibbert three-point play.
Lance Stevenson and Paul George also helped bail Indiana out with a respective 25 and 24 points. Meanwhile, Evan Turner -- who hit the buzzer beater that gave the Sixers their last win in Boston on Jan. 29 -- had only four points off the bench for the Pacers.
A lot has changed since Turner hit that game winner, except for the Sixers' inability to win. Nevertheless, Philadelphia actually put up a real challenge to Indiana for the second time in the last four days. That has been fairly out of character during this losing streak for the Sixers, even though losing in the end hasn't been.
Since Philadelphia threatened the Eastern Conference leaders and potential champions twice, perhaps it can also challenge the Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets over the next five games. If not, then the Sixers' franchise record losing streak will only be the first record they set, as the Cleveland Cavaliers' NBA leading 26-game losing streak gets closer and closer.

Thanks for all inputs.We are spearing no efforts to make Diigo 6.0 available soon. We are working on a brand-new way to organize items. You can use hierarchy system in a new way. it is also super easy to re-order items' structure. Please stay tuned.

This should be an added function, is your concerned about tagging make it a requirement of it. I work on several research projects at once and use folders to organize those lists. I wanted to use an online bookmarker so I could access from anywhere.
Terry Trippany commented
Hierarchical lists makes sense. Tagging is fine but that tends to lead to clutter. The tags work best for searching and setting up cross references that span multiple categories. We need a way to organize lists and create taxonomies.

Folders are so 1.0..... I don't think this is a good idea. Be more creative.
Evan Harmon commented
I think the best way to do this would be to implement tag bundles and then allow people to present them as virtual folders where you could make them have manual and/or smart properties (assign the folders to be populated automatically via the assignment of tags or manually via specific bookmarks). You should also be able to assign the folders/tag bundles a description so you can keep track of how you've setup each folder. And the folder/tag bundles should be able to be nested and include lists as well.
Dave Mittman commented
Diigo-Get with the program! This should be priority #1!!!
sach160 commented
+1 for having folders in the reading list.
Shervon Z commented
There are other threads with the same purpose:
To have a tag bundle option
hierarchy tags
You can vote on "To have a tag bundle option" too, since it is under review.
Having tags as virtual folders is nice, too. It is just that if I tag-bundle something as 'school', it probably has nothing to do with the subject of school, I'm probably just relating it to my-school.
Shervon Z commented
Considering how important this feature seems to be, I would have thought it would be implemented by now. I have installed diigo toolbar, but I am not adding much to my library because I know I have to change all of them again soon.
Well, I think maybe the structure of how the files are stored in diigo does not let them implement this easily. As for me though, I would equally happy with a solution like this:
Get rid of Lists, replace it with a tree [all bookmarks from old Lists imported level1 of new tree]. Diigo can keep the same structure as before. Just make sure backup and export/import support the new tree. Then maybe also provide a version of export to include the folders.
I mean you don't even have to change any existing structure or code from the start. I didn't think it would take this long.
Joel Estrada commented
Please delete my account; Diigo is not what I have in mind. I will try something else instead. Thank you
Eric Kromps commented
i have to weigh in again. please make sure you take into consideration users who just never sign up for diigo due to the lack of bookmarks. most of them would never even see this forum let alone register and then post as i have. i desperately need this tool but just cannot use it efficiently without bookmarks.
jsp48080 commented
Diigo looks like its got a lot of cool features, but I came here looking for bookmarking and this is too foreign to me without folders so I likely won't even try the other features. Please make this an option Diigo.
h m commented
Also going to have to ditch diigo due to now being able to have folders. Lists are good too, but im too used to having folders, and folders within folders that i can name as i choose. Do not like the default naming of groups here on diigo
Eric Kromps commented
I am a new user of Diigo and am amazed that there is no method for hierarchical folders for organizing bookmarks. I've read many posts back to the beginning of this forum thread and understand the argument. I hope the developers realize in the "voting" for this feature that there are many users not voting because, like me, they see no folders and simply stop using Diigo. So rather than signing up myself and others within my company, i am going to continuing searching for a similar tool that supports folders.
Xiaoyu Tang commented
Oh I found the first post was about 1 year ago! I guess the reason why Diigo doesnot do this is, it 'll decrease our motivation for tagging links. And Diigo wants us to find links by filtering them by tags. Am I right?
Xiaoyu Tang commented
Yes! Just now I was about to say this!
I used to utilized the "favorites" or "bookmarks" features of some browsers which have online or offline storage services. They have a basic sub-folder-like function which make it easier to organize. I think they have similar structures in Ontology in CS. Delicious's organising method in their browser plugins is a tag-based one, the problem of them is there're duplicates in different subfolders. Personally I think it's not easy to organize. I think in Diigo you have a section feature which is a good start. But it seems there's no such feature in browser sidebars!
David Gbro commented
Diigo, like most, is based on tag searching. I agree that folder searching and organising would be useful. Yahoo bookmarks used to be great for this. You could switch back and forward between tag views and folder views. Yahoo was the best for years but now they've ruined it and made it useless. Diigo should take advantage here.
riccardorb commented
This should not be a suggestion, this should have been the fundamental reason to even set up any online bookmarking service. What other priority than being able to (subcategorize your bookmarks?
I wonder why apparently ALL seem to refuse to do it.
Cristina Gonzalez commented
I like this idea! easy to find & keep!
soccersoup2001 commented
This would be very nice. Also under the Read Later list as well. Ie, different subjects to read, depending on what mood you are in, etc...
legio1 commented
why is this no longer "planned"?

Pre-Market Primer: Apple Defends Tax Practices; Dimon Fights to Keep Dual Role
Vincent Trivett
All quiet before the Fed announcement tomorrow
Futures were little changed today as investors await tomorrow's announcement from the Federal Reserve.
With a blank economic calendar,
(INDEXDJX:.DJI) futures were up 0.08% at 15,3031 before the opening bell.
(INDEXSP:.INX) futures rose 0.06% to 1,665.60 and
(INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) futures climbed 0.12% to 3,024.50.
Tomorrow, all eyes will be on the Fed as it may confirm speculation that it will scale back quantitative easing from its current $85 billion monthly level. Chairman Bernanke will testify before the Joint Economic Committee tomorrow and the Federal Open Markets Committee will release the minutes of their last meeting. St. Louis and New York Fed Chiefs James Bullard and William Dudley will both deliver speeches today. Bullard is one of the monetary hawks that has expressed concerns that the Fed is fueling inflation with its policies. Yesterday, the Chicago Fed's Charles Evans said that the economy is not quite ready for quantitative easing to scale back just yet.
Overseas, Japanese stocks continued to rise, breaking records, while European indices fell. Japan's Economy Minister Akira Amari said that the yen is too strong and is in the process of correction.
(NASDAQ:AAPL) could be active today as CEO Tim Cook goes to Washington to answer for its controversial tax-sheltering practices. The company raised $17 billion in a debt offering recently rather than bring billions into the US from overseas, much of it in
tax havens
such as Ireland. Apple outlines its policy and defends the taxes that it pays in a
17-page statement
JPMorgan Chase
(NYSE:JPM) will be in focus as well as Jamie Dimon makes a last ditch appeal to shareholders to allow him to keep his dual role of CEO and Chairman at the annual stockholder meeting in Florida.
Carnival Corp
(NYSE:CCL) fell 6.3% after it lowered its profit projection for 2013. The cruise operator has struggled to improve its image after several high-profile disasters. To fill its ships, it lowered the price for a cruise to as low as $38 per night.
Best Buy
(NYSE:BBY) reported earnings today that topped estimates but revenue fell short. Adjusted earnings fell to $110 million or $0.32 per share, down from $0.76 per share a year ago and revenue fell 10% to $9.38 billion.
(NYSE:HD) shares rose 3.5% in the pre-market after the home improvement retailer reported that sales and profit beat estimates. Earnings rose to $0.83 per share in the first quarter. Home Depot's fortunes are closely correlated to the housing market, which has improved greatly in the past year.

UMass Outslugs Dayton, 14-12; Splits A-10 Opening Weekend
March 23, 2013
DAYTON, Ohio -- Katie Bettencourt and Tiffany Meeks combined for seven hits and eight runs batted in to lead Massachusetts past Dayton, 14-12, as the teams split their two-game set on the opening weekend of Atlantic 10 play.
UMass (3-14, 1-1 A-10) snapped a 11-game losing skid and will face Boston College in it's home opener on Wednesday with a 3:00 p.m. start at Sortino Field.
The Minutewomen collected season highs with 15 hits - five from Bettencourt on five at-bats - 14 runs and 14 RBIs. Meeks finished with two hits and a career-high five RBI. Cyndil Matthew, Lindsey Webster and Olivia Godin also all had two hits apiece.
UMass starter Emma Mendoker (1-8) had a career-high four strikeouts and picked up her first win in nine starts. Caroline Raymond earned her second save of the season and struck out three in 3.1 innings.
The Minutewomen started off strong in the top of the first inning when Meeks hit a three run home run to left field. Matthew lead off with a walk and Bettencourt singled through the right side. With two outs, Meeks put three on the board with a ball that just got over the left field fence.
Dayton scored on a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the first but wouldn't score again until the bottom of the fourth inning. UMass had a six run inning in the third inning, when they started off with a home run by Bettencourt to put them up 4-1. Two walks and a single by Meeks loaded the bases and Lindsey Webster hit a double to deep right field, just fair, to send in two more runs.
With two outs and two runners in scoring position, Godin posted her first hit of the season and of her career, a single through the left side, that also earned her two RBIs. A walk and a single got Godin home and gave the Minutewomen a 9-1 advantage going into the bottom of the third.
Dayton answered in the bottom of the fourth inning with seven runs that put them within one of tying the game. Mendoker walked the first batter of the inning and then gave up a home run to the second, giving Dayton two more on the board. With two outs, a routine play to Teea Rogers at third base should have been the end of the inning but an error on the throw to Meeks at first base allowed the batter to get on and the runner to get to third. A single through the right side got another run to score and a walk loaded the bases.
A single up the middle cut the UMass lead to four and a hit batter and a walk cut the lead to two. One more single would send in the eighth Dayton run of the game and bring the Flyers within one run of the Minutewomen.
UMass put one run on the board in the top of the fifth to give them a two run cushion. Godin had her second hit of the game, a single to the center field wall, and Matthew followed with a single to the second baseman, which she fielded and overthrew second base, allowing both runners to advance. Bettencourt got a ball to drop in shallow center field to score the lone run of the inning.
Dayton scored one in the bottom of the sixth but UMass rallied in the seventh inning and scored four runs on four hits. Maggie Quealy, Matthew, and Bettencourt all hit singles, and Taylor Carbone reached on a fielder's choice that resulted in a run and an error on the play allowed all runners to reach their bases safely.
With bases loaded, Quianna Diaz-Patterson hit a single through the left side that send in Matthew, and a fielder's choice allowed Meeks to get on. An error on the play allowed two runs to score and Diaz-Patterson to get to second. UMass ended the inning with a 14-9 advantage.
Dayton attempted to come back from the five run deficit in their last at bat but could only score three runs and fell to the Minutewomen 14-12.

Cancer isn't the only thing that kills.Cancer Isn't The Only Thing That KillsCancer isn't the only thing that kills. by mamawereallfullofpie
James Way sat backstage of the tribute concert to his dying father, Gerard Way. Gerard had been diagnosed with liver cancer a few short months ago, and everything spiralled out of control since then. Gerard's brother Mikey started drinking again, his best friend Frank started cutting himself and James had resorted to drugs to get through the tough time. No one knew of James' addiction as he kept it secret. His step-mother Lindsey was broken both mentally and emotionally and James needed to be strong for her and his little sister, Bandit. Everyone was worried for the health and safety of them and was completely oblivious to James' problems. No one noticed James' inability to do things. Most of the time, he could barely walk straight yet no one saw. Gerard's news had hit James the hardest. Gerard was his hero, his saviour, his life. Without him, James felt like he couldn't carry on. Brian called to James, letting him know he had five minutes left. I

G: that we'd marry each other? Yeah, what about it?
F: Well you're thirty-four and single and my thirtieth is in a few days
G: Your point?
F: Well were both single and thirty.
G: You're twenty-nine.
F: Fine. We'll both be thirty or over in a few days.

The Winds of Change
Dean was stinking drunk. He and Sammy had fought the good fight and ended up with the short end of the stick too many times to count. This time wasn't any different. Sam was in the motel-from-hell room nursing his cuts and bruises. Dean asked him to accompany him, but his kid brother was back on the health food kick. Figured.
So Dean took his baby to the nearest bar, only a few miles from the motel, parked in the only available spot and cruised on in. By the time he was so drunk he thought he was seeing two of everybody, he'd gotten into a fight, won a few pool games and hit on every waitress and barmaid in the place.
Just his luck this was a country and western bar. The music playing on the old-fashioned juke box was crap. Like the song right now.
Two guys singing that sounded like nig
My Brother, My Hero"Gerard, its Mom. Please come see your brother, he's always asking for you."My Brother, My Hero by meralies
"Gerard, Mikey needs you. Please visit him soon."
"Gerard- Just call him yourself and tell him that you don't want to see him!"
Gerard played the messages on his phone over and over. Each one sounding more distressed than the last. His brother, Mikey, was in the hospital. He had been sick for nearly a year; he had been in a car accident. The impact of the steering wheel had crushed his chest and destroyed his heart. He was living off a machine that acted as a substitute for his broken heart. But he was never meant to live off it forever, and he was getting weaker every day. He needed a transplant as soon as possible, but a suitable donor hadn't yet been found. Gerard had visited for a few months after the accident, but he stopped. He just couldn't stand being in that hospital room, absolutely powerless to save his little brother. Facing Mikey's impending doom wasn't something he was strong enough to do.

The Santee Street Fair was an immediate success when it debuted in 2009 and has only gotten better in the years since then. The first Street Fair drew an estimated 30,000 visitors from around San Diego County and this year as many as twice that number are expected. For 2014 the event will double the fun when it expands to two days, May 31 and June 1, and adds a Craft Beer Festival to the mix.
The Street Fair was the brainchild of then-Santee Chamber of Commerce President Rob McNelis, a successful realtor and entrepreneur. After proposing the event in January 2009, McNelis and the Chamber worked tirelessly to make it all happen in less than six months. The continued popularity of the fair is a testimony to the efforts of the entire Chamber of Commerce.
This year the Street Fair will feature two stages of continuous live music and entertainment, along with over 300 vendors of all types. A Family Fun Zone will include over a dozen carnival-style rides along with other activities and attractions. As always, a wide variety of food stands will offer everything from hot dogs and chips to barbecue and more.
One of the biggest additions this year is the Craft Beer Festival, which will include some of the top local brewers from a region acknowledged to be one of the best for craft beer. Highlighting the festival will be local brewers Twisted Manzanita Ales & Spirits, BNS Brewing & Distilling Co., Buther's Brewing, Pacific Islander Brewing Cmpany, and Oggi's Pizza and Brewing Company. These and others will be serving up some of their best brews for visitors to sample.
As always, celebrating and supporting our Armed Forces will be a key element of the Santee Street Fair. Santee is proud to be the only city in San Diego County that has adopted military units, counting not one but two U.S. Marine Corps units: HMH (Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron) 462 from MCAS Miramar and the 2nd Battalion 1st Regiment from Camp Pendleton.
The fun kicks off on Saturday, May 31, at 10:00 with an opening ceremony that will feature patriotic music and the display of a giant American flag. Hours for the Santee Street Fair are 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Saturday and 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. For more information visit http://santeestreetfair.com/ or eventful.com or follow the Santee Street Fair on Facebook.

Study Abroad
Credit Approval
The History Department encourages students to study abroad and many students take courses over the summer at US institutions near their homes. Before electing courses off-campus, it is important to discuss the classes and programs with a faculty advisor, the ADUGS or the DUGS. Please note, this will give you a good idea how the course will fit into your program, but final approval is possible only after the course is completed and the credits transferred.
Although the university accepts off-campus credits, whether courses will count toward your major or minor and satisfy specific requirements is determined by the department.
When transfer credits from another U.S. institution or from a study abroad program are accepted by the Credit Evaluators at the Undergraduate Admissions Office, they appear on your transcript with a department name, a level, and an "X". For example, an area survey course from another U.S. university might appear as "History 201X," or a course on the history of France taken at the Sorbonne in Paris might appear as "History 301X." If you take a course in an officially sanctioned UM program through CGIS, it will appear as STDABRD XXX, with a brief title. When a course appears on your UM transcript, it does not necessarily mean that the History Department will accept it for either general major/minor credit or as a direct replacement for any particular course we offer. Different countries and institutions have different academic norms and customs, and what constitutes an upper-level course at one institution might not equal an upper-level course here. Faculty advisors determine whether a particular course counts for History credit as well as what level it meets and whether it fulfills distribution requirements.
To obtain approval for transfer or study abroad credit, please fill out a study abroad/transfer credit approval form and bring syllabi, papers and exams to your advising appointment so that the course can be properly evaluated.

Uganda is a landlocked country in East Africa. It is bordered on the east by Kenya, on the north by Sudan, on the west by the Democratic Republic of the viagra best place Congo, on the southwest by Rwanda, and on the south by Tanzania. The southern part of the country includes a substantial portion of Lake Victoria, which is also bordered by Kenya and link for you is it allegal to buy viagra online Tanzania.
History of Uganda.
The inhabitants of Uganda were hunter-gatherers until 1,700 to 2,300 years ago. Bantu-speaking populations, who were probably from central and western Africa, migrated to the southern parts of the country. These groups brought and developed ironworking skills and new ideas of social and political organization. The Empire of Kitara in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries represents the earliest forms of formal organization, followed by the kingdom of Bunyoro-Kitara, and in later centuries, Buganda and Ankole.
Nilotic people including Luo and canadian cialis united pharmacy Ateker entered the area from the north, probably beginning about A.D. 120. They were cattle herders and subsistence farmers who settled mainly the northern and eastern parts of the country. Some Luo invaded the area of Bunyoro and assimilated with the Bantu there, establishing the Babiito dynasty of the current Omukama (ruler) of Bunyoro-Kitara. Luo migration continued until the 16th century, with some Luo settling amid Bantu people in Eastern Uganda, with others proceeding to the western shores of Lake Victoria in Kenya and Tanzania. The Ateker (Karimojong and Iteso) settled in the northeastern and eastern parts of the country, and some fused with the Luo in the area north of Lake Kyoga.
Arab traders moved inland from the Indian Ocean coast of East Africa in the 1830s. They were followed in the 1860s by British explorers searching for the source of the Nile. Protestant missionaries entered the country in 1877, followed by Catholic missionaries in 1879. The United Kingdom placed the area under the charter of the British East Africa Company in 1888, and ruled it as a protectorate from 1894.
Geography of Uganda.
The country is located on the East African plateau, averaging about 1100 metres (3,250 ft) above sea level, and this slopes very steadily downwards to the Sudanese Plain to the north. However, much of the south is poorly drained, while the centre is dominated by Lake Kyoga, which is also surrounded by extensive marshy areas. Uganda lies almost completely within the Nile basin. The Victoria Nile drains from the lake into Lake Kyoga and thence into Lake Albert on the Congolese border. It then runs northwards into Sudan. One small area on the eastern edge of Uganda is drained by the Turkwel river, part of the internal drainage basin of Lake Turkana.
Although generally equatorial, the climate is not uniform as the altitude modifies the climate. Southern Uganda is wetter with rain generally spread throughout the year. At Entebbe on the northern shore of Lake Victoria, most rain falls from March to June and cialis fedex the November/December period. Further to the north a dry season gradually emerges; at Gulu about 120 km from the Sudanese border, November to February is much drier than the rest of the year.
The northeastern Karamoja region has the driest climate and is prone to droughts in some years. Rwenzori in the southwest on the border with Congo (DRC) receives heavy rain all year round. The south of the country is heavily influenced by one of the world's biggest lakes, Lake Victoria, which contains many islands. It prevents temperatures from varying significantly and increases cloudiness and rainfall. Most important cities are located in the south, near Lake Victoria, including the capital Kampala and the nearby city of Entebbe.
Economy of Uganda and Tourism in Uganda.
For decades, Uganda's economy suffered from devastating economic policies and instability, leaving Uganda as one of the world's poorest countries. The country has commenced economic reforms and discount viagra cialis levitra online growth has been robust. In 2008, Uganda recorded 12% growth despite the global downturn and regional instability.[18]
Uganda has substantial natural resources, including fertile soils, regular rainfall, and sizable mineral deposits of copper and cobalt. The country has largely untapped reserves of both crude oil and natural gas.[19] While agriculture used to account for 56% of the economy in 1986, with coffee as its main export, it has now been surpassed by the Services sector, which accounted for 52% of percent GDP in 2007.[20] In the 1950s the British Colonial regime encouraged some 500,000 subsistence farmers to join co-operatives.[21] Since 1986, the government (with the support of foreign countries and international agencies) has acted to rehabilitate an economy devastated during the regime of Idi Amin and subsequent civil war. Inflation ran at 240% in 1987 and 42% in June 1992, and was 5.1% in 2003.
Between 1990 and 2001, the economy grew because of continued investment in the rehabilitation of infrastructure, improved incentives for production and exports, reduced inflation, gradually improved domestic security, and the return of exiled Indian-Ugandan entrepreneurs between 1990 and 2001.[citation needed] Ongoing Ugandan involvement in the war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, corruption within the government, and slippage in the government's determination to press reforms raise doubts about the continuation of strong growth.

Link: Get Closer
Developer: Mindfulxp
Genre: Story/Action
FlashMush Reviews Rating: 8/10
While the latest Ludum Dare (#23) is over, it still inspired this wonderful, short little story game, Get Closer. As you all should know if you read my blog and I really hope you do is that I love short little games like this.
Get Closer reminds me heavily of the surprisingly popular flash game, I Saw Her Standing There, or the newest popular story flash game, Pretentious Game. Either way, these are very short games that deal on the idea of love and Get Closer is the same way. Basically the story revolves around exactly what you would think. Getting closer to the girl of your dreams. The game then goes on to talk about the various obstacles getting in the way, or how you think you need more money, but then you realize you just need to collect love to get closer. It's really a sweet story and at least ends on a good note which will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy inside.
Gameplay in a game like this usually isn't much. Most story games are platformers but Get Closer takes a different approach, almost puzzle like. Basically you revolve around the girl and you use the arrow keys to move left and right and up a level till you reach the girl in the center. Of course there are obstacles which make the game hard. In fact the difficulty of Get Closer is fairly hard but not hard enough to cause rage quits thankfully. Overall, if you want a nice story, Get Closer gets the job done!

Yesterday a Michigan "actress" online callously dismissed Michigan films as "vanity projects," this as though the only thing that mattered were films produced by Hollywood production companies tethered to headquarters scattered throughout Los Angeles regardless of where they were shot.
She argued that she had been in the business for over thirty years (which according to Hollywood standards would make her based on the length of her career alone past her prime) But she presented this and other highlights of her personal resume (which I found questionable) as though this qualified her to make her remarks.
Her attitude aside, which I thought was wrong on so many levels as to be laughable if not pathetic, I could not help but think of the numbers of fine Michigan films that I have had the privilege of seeing. Many of these in my opinion are on par, and often surpassing the independent and often times the studio productions which emerge out of Hollywood. I know. I preview films I receive on a daily basis to decide which I think may be suitable for a film festival, TV show and online film festival. (These are sent to me from film makers/directors/producers from around the world. ) To satisfy each, I look for only the very best.
It might be said that I preview these films through my own personal biases. But I do so considering each and every film on these qualifiers: originality / creativity, direction, writing, cinematography, performances, pacing, structure, sound / music and overall production value. It can be said I am tough. Unforgiving. Demanding. And I am.
If a film fails within the opening minutes, either because of acting which falls flat, lighting or other elements which I find glaringly poor, I often will not finish the film. Instead I give it a short shrift and figuratively speaking as these are largely digital films I advance to the next reel (films do not come on reels anymore.)
Not only do I judge each individually based on their own merit, I judge them compared to each other, regardless of nation of origin.
That said, I received a link to a Michigan film recently. With a screenplay written by actor, director, producer and writer and Michigan native, Shane Hagedorn, Ashes of Eden was produced by New House Entertainment, Collective Development Inc., and Ahptic Film and Digital.
It stars a first-class cast of Michigan actors/actresses. Included are Steven Sutherland, Melissa Anschutz, Michael Joiner , DJ Perry, Carlucci Weyant, Mayra Leal, Tim Holmes and Shane Hagedorn. Each delivers a first rate performance that is worthy of note.
Hagedorn boasts "I can proudly state that this film will be the breakout movie for our Michigan lead talent. These rising stars of tomorrow, explode on the screen with their performances in Ashes of Eden.
Co-producer Perry says "For a production to overlook the immense local Michigan talent pool for supporting/principal casting due to geography is just not responsible."
Compared to an urban "American Graffiti" or something in the vein of "The Outsiders". "Ashes of Eden" is certain to be a movie people will point to years from today as the movie that launched the respective careers of its individual stars. An emotionally charged coming-of-age story. it is a modern day retelling of the Biblical prodigal son. The film follows the life of a freshly turned 18 year-old Red played by newcomer Steven Sutherland. In the film, he's the troubled son of a female police officer played by Melissa Anschutz.
"Ashes of Eden" showcases co-stars DJ Perry and Carlucci Weyant as wickedly complex rival drug dealers; Shane Hagedorn and Michael Joiner appear as competing suitors both trying to help Red come around. Bello Pizzimenti and Drew Wise play Red's best friend and younger brother who both become entangled in Red's consequences to his choices.
Red steals from a ruthless drug dealer to save his mother from financial ruin and forced foreclosure on her house. His descent into the brutal drug world to raise the cash, he is hunted by the dealer, the police, and his own addictions.
These characters are complex and believable, brought to life by the cast of Michigan performers.
The Shane Hagedorn (NHE) script was seven years in the making, with nine months of development and production, and over a year of post work. Shot almost entirely in Portland, Michigan, a community west of Lansing, this thriller drama is fast paced and keeps you sitting bolt upright in your seat as it takes you along for a harrying ride, past sights which many from the area will recognize.
Keeping with the movie's Michigan roots, most of the musical artists hail from the Great Lake State as well. Michigan musical artists such as Jerome (The Promise), Sam Corbin (Stay), and Cassidy Bisher (SuperNova) contributed to the film score.
This motion picture has all of the elements in it that makes a great story driven motion picture. To dismiss it as anything less than a tour de force because of where it was shot, or where its cast and crew originated is simply wrong. When Hollywood producers, chasing film incentives lose their directions home and this model fails, when the Michigan people who anxiously await the next comic book franchise-post apocalyptic thriller shot against the backdrop of a deteriorating Motor City, they will discover what this group has known all along. They are building a foundation which will support something really big, and the ground on which they are building cannot be taken from them by some temperamental politico. It is home.
There really is no place like home.

City of Durham
The historic city of Durham is the county town of County Durham, in the North East of England, located on a bend in the river Wear. Until 1974, the city of Durham was a municipal borough in County Durham. In 1974, it was merged with adjoining areas to form the local government district (with borough status) of the City of Durham, with a population of about 85,000. In April 2009, the City of Durham District was merged with six other districts of County Durham to form the unitary authority of County Durham.

Central Puget Sound
Closest to the city of Seattle, and home to major foodsheds and agriculturally significant valleys, Central Puget Sound is the area where much of our conservation efforts have been focused over the last decade.
Both the Ames Creek Farms and Jubilee Farm are in the Snoqualmie Valley–one of the historic agricultural areas most threatened by development, and closest to the Seattle metro area. Apart from ecological significance, the Snoqualmie Valley has a rich agricultural heritage, community support for small working farms, and excellent farm-to-market access. Focusing our efforts on the Snoqualmie Valley, along with the Puyallup Valley in Pierce County, enables the Trust to build on our past conservation work and to conserve contiguous tracts of farmland to make the most significant impact ecologically, agriculturally and in our local communities.
The Snoqualmie Valley is also prone to some of the region's most frequent flooding. Read farmer Erick Haakenson of Jubilee Farm's article about what's causing the flooding in the region and why it matters so much to organic farming.
Project Information
Growing Things Farm and 20 Acres Farm are part of our Ames Creek Farm project –179 acres of farmland in a fertile plain adjacent to Ames Creek and the Snoqualmie River. This property was preserved in 2006 in a partnership with King County, and with help from a matching fundraising campaign.
About half of Jubilee Farm previously had been conserved by the King County Farmland Preservation Program. When there was an opportunity to partner with King County in 2012 to preserve the remaining half through the County's Transfer of Development Rights Program, PCC Farmland Trust jumped at the chance.

batch of muffins. And it looks elegant, too - don't you think?
We love the airy wings framing the little pastry and think these would be very cute at a garden party or fancy brunch. We could also write our guests' names on one of the flaps for a personal touch (after baking, of course). And there's no reason why we couldn't bake cupcakes using the same technique!

Photos from Heidrun
It has been a couple of weeks since my visit to the Heidrun oil platform, but I realized that I have yet to show you the photos that were taken of us as we did the tour of the platform. As I mentioned in my previous post we were not allowed to take photos in the outside areas, but there was a photographer following each tour group around, and Statoil were nice enough to send us the photos on a DVD shortly after our trip. I am so happy I got the chance to go on this visit to Heidrun, and we were treated with such enormous amounts of hospitality every step of the way. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience.
This is the orange safety-suit that we had to wear while flying the helicopter. I look like a Teletubbie, no? I like my expression – very oil rig Barbie.
I'm pretty sure you can't tell, but I'm the one in the black scarf.
So there you go, that concludes my small series of posts about my visit to Heidrun. If you missed the previous ones you can find the post containing my own photos here.
All photos in this post are courtesy of Statoil.
P.S: Thank you so much for the well wishes in my previous post. I'm not back on my feet quite yet, but I'm getting there. It has been a ridiculous week health-wise, and I'm sure I'll write about it as soon as I'm back to my old self again.

Teletubby-Barbie-Maja! I love it :D
Interesting photos…though they certainly aren't as picturesque as yours :) In fact, there's a distinct touristy vibe in this one ^_^ Love the last two photos though.
Btw, I'm curious… why was it necessary to wear a safety-suit just for the helicopter ride?
That is actually pretty cool. How did you end up doing something like that?
I'm new to this blog. I like :)

PICAYUNE, Miss.–A vehicle/bike collision last week in Picayune has now left an 8-year-old boy dead.
The accident occurred on April 16th according to Picayune assistant police chief Jeremy Magri and 8-year-old Keanu Carraway was pronounced dead on April 18th at a New Orleans children's hospital.
Evidently Carraway tried to cross the street on his bike and was hit by an SUV driven by 52-year-old Francis Burge.
Magri said that Burge has been charged with driving with an expired license, no insurance proof, and possession of a controlled substance that was found in the vehicle.
More serious charges are possible depending on what toxicology reports say though.
"At this time [the sample] has been sent to the Mississippi crime lab with a rush order to get it back," he said. "We're now waiting to get them back."
It is standard when violent injuries occur because of a motor vehicle to draw blood of the driver to assure no substances played a role in the wreck.

Having just written about the mystery of the belief (believing correctly) and the mystery of the reverence (behaving correctly), Paul continues by telling Timothy what his holy spirit-life has communicated to him:
I Timothy 4:1-5:
4:1But the spirit speaking says that in times afterwards some-people will depart-from the belief having-attention to wandering spirits and teachings of devils, .2in hypocrisy of word-liars having been seared2 (in their) own conscience, .3hindering to marry, to refrain-oneself-from foods which God created with-a-view-to a reception with thankfulness by the believers also having fully-known2 the truth .4that every creature of God (is) beautiful and nothing throwing-away being received with thankfulness .5for it is made-holy by means of (the) word of God and intercession.
The spirit is specifically laying out information that in times afterwards (during opportune occasions, precise seasons, periods of limited-time that will come later-on after all that has happened so far), some holy-people will depart-from the belief (some Christians will cause themselves to stand away from the belief in Christ Jesus)…
The word translated "devils" in verse 1 is the Greek word daimonion, which was used in Greek mythology/falsehoods to describe supernatural intermediary beings between false-gods and men. In reality, these are the lower-ranking demons, evil spirits, like 'privates,' which take their direction from the higher-ranking evil spirits (daimon) in the devil's "army" which take their orders and direction from the chief or top-ranking devil-spirit himself who is the devil/satan.
In times afterwards some-people will depart-from the belief having-attention to wandering spirits and teachings of devils,…
[Reference: Acts 10:9-16; I Corinthians 10:25-31; I John 4:6; II John 1:7. Note: verbs with a superscript 2 (2) immediately following them indicate the "perfect" tense - details are provided in the "Relevant Notes" link of this study.]

Sale Price:
Weather-resistant and extremely durable, Donegal wool tweed has long been one of the world's highest quality fabrics and a symbol of the Irish county where it is made. This tweed hat with a removable pheasant feather tucked in the band is a timeless way to protect against wind and weather. Fully lined, with inner cotton sweatband. Made in Ireland.
In the shadow of the Bluestack Mountains in northwestern Ireland, the town of Donegal has been renowned for its handwoven wool tweed for generations. A skilled weaver, working at a bench loom, could make up to 30 yards of fabric in a day, using home-raised wool that was often dyed using natural and local materials including moss, yellow gorse, and blackberries.
Today the town's largest manufacturer of wool tweed is the Magee, Molloy & McNutt factory, which presides over Donegal's town center in a large redbrick building. The fabric is prized by the largest international fashion houses as well as tourists looking for an authentic piece of highest quality Irish artisanry. About 25 local craftsmen still work on hand looms in their homes, filling the demand for the bespoke look of a well-tailored tweed suit or cap.

Comments about Irish Donegal Tweed Walking Hat:
I was buying another hat, the Australian Bush Hat. This hat was on sale, plus 20% off that. It's a quality brand made in Ireland, and a style I had wanted. I got it very cheap, although I had to get a size too large than I normally wear, I'm not sorry, though, because it sits low on my head and is warm and comfortable (and it's exactly like a hat I saw Sean Connery wear in a movie!) Excellent look and exceptional quality.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
