Hello and welcome to the community!
Here in the US I got mine for $12.50 (50 x $0.25) as I pulled all quarters out of circulation. Probably the best person to tell you where you can get these coins in Egypt is EgCollector.
And you always can stick around, share your passion and your experience with us, and when you have enough posts you can do trades with fellow forum members.
Thank you :) I'm still new to this, but were they silver proof or what? because I hear they are the expensive ones.

Red Adept Publishing's Michelle Rever interviews Edward Lorn, author of Bay's End, Three After, and the soon-to-be-released Dastardly Bastard.
Michelle: Tell us about the inspiration or inspirations for Dastardly Bastard.
Edward Lorn: Dastardly Bastard came from a question a friend of mine once asked me.
"What would we be without our memories?"
I answered without thought, "Nothing."
I'm a firm believer that we are nothing more than what we have learned, what we have been through, and the choices we've made throughout our lives. We are defined by our memories. Good or bad.
Michelle: Without spoiling, who is your favorite character, and why?
Edward: By leaps and bounds, Donald. I just have a blast writing smart-mouthed sorts.
Michelle: There is one female character in Dastardly Bastard who gets a lot of page time. Are there any special challenges for you in writing a female character?
Edward: I have a beautiful, intelligent wife to fall back on for these things. If I write a woman's reaction that doesn't sit well with me, I read it to her. She has the final say so on such matters.
Michelle: How much of you is in your characters?
Edward: Depends on which character…
For one character, there is almost none of me present. For another, he/she is just an avatar with my personality applied to him or her.
I would like to think my characters have a will of their own, but I do find bits and pieces of me leaking into their personalities.
Michelle: Is there anything so dark that you won't write about it?
Edward: This question actually made me laugh out loud. Definitely not. It's almost like asking a comedy writer if there's anything funny he wouldn't write about. It's kinda what we do. If you're asking whether or not my personal beliefs ever get in the way when writing about darker subjects, I would also say no. It's not about me. It's about where the story takes me.
Michelle: Is there any other genre you'd like to try?
Edward: I think I already try them all. That's what I love about horror. You can delve into any genre you want, just as long as you come back to the scary stuff.
Horror is a literary chameleon.
Michelle: Have you ever had anything supernatural happen to you?
Edward: Weird stuff happens to me all the time, but I try not to lend it any credibility. If there are such things as ghosts and goblins, let them exist without me knowing about them. I suppose I just don't want to think about it. Just one more thing to be afraid of, right? Human beings are scary enough by themselves. And I know they're real.
Michelle: What's your favorite horror movie?
Edward: The Passion of the Christ. I didn't watch that movie because it was a fact based reenactment of Christ's last days. I watched it because people told me how utterly horrifying it was to behold. If that's not a horror movie, than what is?
Michelle: Favorite horror novel?
Edward: Delores Claiborne by Stephen King. Until I read that book, I thought horror was all about creatures and supernatural happenings. I never knew you could write horror and make it about stuff that can actually happen! The part where she pushes her husband down the well, and he doesn't die right away, scared the crap out of me.
King goes into glorious detail about the sounds of her husband's scratching at the walls of the well. I could hear those same scratching sounds when I tried to sleep. I was nine when I read that book. I don't think I've ever gotten over it.
Michelle: Do you have any special writing rituals or superstitions?
Edward: Music. When I wrote Bay's End, I had my Tom Waits collection – I own everything the man has ever done – on repeat. For Dastardly Bastard, I kept Adele's albums, 19 and 21, going the entire time. I just can't seem to write without a soundtrack. When I try, I end up with dispassionate drivel. Nobody needs to be reading that.
Michelle: When you play hookey from writing, where are we most likely to find you?
Edward: With my family. They suffer my writing as a needed chore. So, when I'm not pounding the keys, I'm doing what they want to do. I prefer my family over my writing any day of the week, but I seem to appreciate them all the more after coming out of the dark.
Michelle: You're all alone, and it's storming outside. The power goes out. The fuse box is in the basement. You hear a strange noise, which may or may not be the house settling, but it could also have something to do with the escaped crazed cannibalistic mental patient that the talking head on TV was talking about right before the lights went out. Speaking of strange sounds, the scratching at the window is probably just a tree branch. What is your next move?
Edward: Cut down the tree branch. Chainsaws work in the rain, right?
Michelle: Moving away from "D.B." for the moment, you wrote a story in a recently published mini-anthology (Three After) about the loss of a child. As a father, how difficult was it to explore that topic?
Edward: The hardest. I can't imagine life without my daughter, but I had to, if only for the life of that story. The concept was devastating. When you wake up everyday and that little girl is just… there, she becomes a part of your existence. Sure, she's my daughter, and I'm suppose to love and care for her, but it's also so much more than that. It's not the responsibility to protect and provide that makes me do those things, it's that I just cannot see myself existing without her there to share every waking moment with. She is a part of me. If she were gone, there would be an emptiness.
That is what I latched onto when I wrote, World's Greatest Dad, that feeling of trying to fill an ever expanding hole, but nothing being big enough. Where do you go from there? I don't think I know the answer to that question.
Michelle: At the beginning of Bay's End, you quote Stephen King. ("Monsters are real, ghosts are real, too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.") This reminded me of something John Steinbeck wrote in East of Eden. A paraphrase of it is that monsters are sometimes born to human parents, and that if someone could be born with a malformed limb, why not a malformed soul? Do you believe that some people are born evil? Why or why not?
Edward: Oh, God yes. Some people are just broken from the start. Sexual abuse does not always create a future pedophile and a perfect childhood does not guarantee an outstanding, law abiding citizen. Evil can be taught, sure, but it can also be hardwired from birth. I've heard it said, over and over again, that in our hearts, we're all good people. I would argue just the opposite. I think we're all pretty screwed up inside from the get-go. It's what we chose to do with that information that makes us "good" or "bad" throughout our lives.

Excellent answers from Mr. Lorn. I loved the peek into how his mind works.
Yes, I thought his responses weren't half bad. 😉

When free agency opened on Tuesday, the Blueshirts were quick to bolster their blueline. The New York Rangers signed defenseman Dan Boyle to a two-year contract. While the financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, it is reportedly worth $4.5 million per season.
"Dan is an experienced player. He's been an elite player for a long time," said Rangers coach Alain Vigneault. "He's going to help us on the power play, he's been able to log important minutes on a pretty good team in the last couple of years. We're really happy to have him"
The 37-year-old Boyle spent last season with the San Jose Sharks, scoring 12 goals and 36 points in 75 games. He added four assists in seven playoff games, as the Sharks fell in the first round to the eventual Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings.
In New York, he will now be reunited with his longtime teammate Martin St. Louis. The two played together with the Tampa Bay Lightning from 2002-2008, capturing the Stanley Cup in 2004. St. Louis was acquired by the Rangers in a trade with the Lightning last season.
The team also re-signed free agent forward Dominic Moore on Tuesday. Moore had 18 points in 73 games for the Rangers last season, adding eight points in 25 playoff contests. He was awarded the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy after the season, given annually to the player who "best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey."
The team also made a flurry of depth signings on Tuesday, bringing in forwards Tanner Glass and Chris Mueller, defensemen Matt Hunwick, Michael Kostka and Steven Kampfer, and goaltender Cedrick Desjardins.
The team also signed forward Chris Bourque to a one-year deal on Wednesday. The 28-year-old Bourque spent last season split between Ak Bars Kazan of the KHL and EHC Biel of the Swiss NLA. His younger brother Ryan Bourque is a prospect for the Rangers, and is currently a restricted free agent. They are the sons of NHL Hall of Famer Ray Bourque.

Now in his ninth year at the helm of the University of Massachusetts women�s crew, Jim Dietz has molded his program into one of the nation�s finest.
The only crew coach in UMass history, the Minutewomen have dominated regular-season racing and have captured seven consecutive Atlantic 10 team championships, including the 2002 crown, under Dietz� direction. His squads have produced 31 Atlantic 10 gold medals in seven league championship events, including six in seven starts by his varsity eight boats. For his efforts, Dietz has been honored as Atlantic 10 Conference Coach of the Year on four occasions, the last of which came in 1999.
Recognized internationally for his coaching ability, Dietz guided UMass to a fourth-place team finish at the 1998 NCAA Championships in Gainesville, Ga., and his varsity eights earned silver medals at both the 1997 and 1998 NCAA meets. Five of his student-athletes have earned a total of six Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association All-America citations.
Dietz� success doesn�t end on the water, though, as his program has produced a league-leading 17 Atlantic 10 Academic All-Conference performers, eight Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association National Scholar Athletes who have earned a total of 11 citations, and four U.S. Rowing Association Academic All-Americans. In addition, his teams annually lead UMass� Atlantic 10 Commissioner�s Honor Roll selections.
Before coming to Amherst to start the UMass program from scratch, Dietz spent nine years as the head coach of the Coast Guard Academy crew program (1985-94). Though his primary responsibilities were with the men�s heavyweight eight, he was also in charge of the overall program which included four assistant coaches and over 90 student-athletes.
Dietz� crew experience began in 1964, when he competed for the New York Athletic Club in all classes of rowing and sculling events. As a high school student, he won all United States and Canadian Scholastic championships in single and double sculls from 1964 through 1967, and won the first Junior World Championship in single sculls at Ratzeburg, Germany, in 1967.
During his competitive years, Dietz won 45 United States and 37 Canadian national championship titles. He was a member of almost every U.S. National Team from 1967-1983, including U.S. Olympic entries in 1972, 1976 and 1980. In addition, Dietz captured crew medals at the Pan American Games in 1967, 1975, 1979 and 1983. He was also a member of seven World Championship crews. A 1972 graduate of Northeastern University with a bachelor of science degree in marketing, Dietz has been inducted into the Northeastern University Hall of Fame, as well as the New York Athletic Club (NYAC) Hall of Fame. A Veteran Award winner of the NYAC and a Power Ten Award winner of Manhattan, Dietz also earned the prestigious Athlete of the Quarter Century honor for his past performances at the Head of the Charles Regatta.
Since 1976, Dietz has been involved with the United States Olympic Committee, and in both 1988 and 1992 he served as the U.S. Olympic Quad coach in Seoul, South Korea and Barcelona, Spain.
In 1987, Dietz founded the Thames River Sculls, a non-profit sculling center. Over the years, members of this program have won numerous titles at the U.S. Scholastic championships, and U.S.R.A. Elite Nationals. Several members have gone on to race for the United States on World and Olympic teams. The Thames River/Pre-Elite women�s crews have participated in the Nation�s Cup Regatta (under 23 World Championships) winning the 1996 meet in Belgium.
Dietz coached the 2000 U.S. Olympic Team in Sydney, Australia, taking the bronze medal in the women�s lightweight double. In 1999, he coached the U.S. National Team, taking medals at both the Pan American Games and the World Rowing Championships.
Dietz, and his wife Pamela, reside in Amherst with their two sons, James II (17) and Michael (14).

Danny Wilson says Paddy McCourt is the most technically gifted player at Oakwell but has suggested that he plans to use his fellow Northern Irish international as an impact substitute.
Fleet-footed winger McCourt – who has scored two wondergoals this season – played in Wilson's first two home games but has not featured in the last six.
Wilson said: "Paddy is very much a part of the squad. He's got an undoubted ability. He's the most technically gifted player at the club but he's got to have another side of his game as well.
"At times we have grind teams down and Paddy, by own admission, is not that type of player. But there will come a time when Paddy will be the one that can unlock a door for us. He understands the situation totally."

Movie leads to trouble online for local teens
(WXYZ) - After Emma Washko went to see the new movie "The Purge" she decided to go on Twitter to tweet about it. As the 18-year-old from Southgate searched for people talking about the movie, she was surprised to find a tweet about her. It was sent out by an account on Twitter called @downriverpurge.
Emma says the post stated lies about her sexual history. It hurt to see.
"Then I decided none of it is true, so don't let it bother me," said Emma.
Emma called out the anonymous poster on Twitter for sending out lies. She saw that she was not the only local teen targeted. There were numerous posts and pictures on Twitter that aimed to humiliate teens from metro Detroit school districts and around the country. She worries that not all of those will be able to handle the bullying.
"It crosses my mind everyday. I hope it doesn't go too far," said Emma.
The posts are part of a social media trend that started after the movie "The Purge" came out. The movie takes a look at what would happen if there were 12-hours of lawlessness. The people behind many accounts set up in recent days on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram promote lawlessness on-line. They post lies, rumors, and nude pictures people have, often of their former girlfriends or boyfriends.
"It is a national epidemic," said Det. Charles Younkin of the Warren Police Department.
Warren Police have several active cases involving social media sites set up to humiliate teens. In one recent case unrelated to the purge teens found themselves charged with several felonies.
"It is child pornography," said Younkin of the pictures sent out by many accounts targeting high school age kids.
While there is lawlessness in the movie, there is not lawlessness in the real world. Social media sites are taking down accounts taking part in the on-line "purge" as they become aware of them. Police around the country have announced criminal investigations tied to these sites. Detectives say the people behind them are not hard to track down.
"Parents need to talk to their kids to raise awareness about the consequences of sending nude photos and posting them," said Det. Younkin. "We have to stop this."

FDA Says Benefit of Lilly's Florbetapir Isn't So Clear
The FDA says Lilly's experimental imaging agent, florbetapir, does what it's supposed to: identify the beta-amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease. But it's not clear what that would actually do for physicians and patients, the agency said in briefing materials posted to its website.
Lilly is seeking approval for florbetapir, which it wants to market as Amyvid, to rule out Alzheimer's disease in patients in whom it's suspected. An FDA advisory committee will consider the drug, administered ahead of a PET scan, on Thursday. Here's the Dow Jones Newswires story.
Lilly acquired florbetapir through its December purchase of Avid Radiopharmaceuticals (for at least $300 million, plus a possible $500 million if certain regulatory and commercial milestones are met). It's one of many companies in the hunt to develop agents that can spot the plaques, even though their role in the disease is far from settled, as the WSJ has written.
The FDA says there don't appear to be any safety problems specific to florbetapir. And study data do suggest that it can help produce images of brain amyloid. It's just not clear what clinical benefit those images would have, the FDA reviewers wrote. Panelists will be asked about that issue at the meeting.
The FDA's major concern surrounds the training of people who would read these scans. As DJN writes:
One FDA reviewer said images for only 5 of 29 patients were rated identically by three readers used in the study, raising concerns about reader consistency. The agency noted that in a real-world setting that just one person would likely interpret a scan.

Changing Healthcare in Natrona County
K2's Ophelia Young, firstname.lastname@example.com:
Casper's two hospitals are working toward changes they hope will be better for the community, but they're running into some government obstructions.
Wyoming Medical Center and Mountain View Regional Hospital are trying to bring all ER patients to one facility to improve medical services, and to help WMC retain their sole community provider status. But WMC lost that title yesterday, and Mountain View's application toward closing down their ER department has been put on hold.
As a full service hospital serving rural communities, WMC has received extra funding from the government for being a sole community provider. But as recently-built Mountain View Regional Hospital began attracting more patients, WMC lost the title and the money.
Mountain View didn't think it was fair so they tried to help. Mountain View is a surgically-focused hospital, and WMC offers the full-scope of services. Mountain View says they transfer many of their ER patients to WMC due to a higher level of care at WMC, so they decided to consider closing down their ER department, to help WMC gain more patients, and work towards regaining their sole provider status.
Mountain View also believes, one community ER room is best for Casper patients. With a letter of support from WMC, they asked the state for permission to close down their ER. The state said, laws won't allow it. The State Attorney General said he's reviewing those statues.
Meanwhile, WMC not only found out they had lost their sole provider status, they also received more bad news--They owe the government 16 million dollars because they need to reimburse funds from as far back as January 2010.
If Mountain View's request to close down their ER is granted, WMC says the 600 extra visits per month should not affect the quality of their services.
For now, both hospitals wait. WMC is submitting an appeal, arguing that they need the funds because they are the only full-service hospital in town. Mountain View is waiting for the state to review and change their laws.

This mock wrap scrub top from Cherokee's Luxe collection features tonal zig zag stitching on the left neckband, front darts, an empire waistband, two patch pockets, and an additional angled pocket with pin tucks and tonal zig zag stitching. Elastic at the back waist casing and side vents provide shaping and easy movement. The center back length is 26". This scrub top is made of polyester, rayon and a touch of spandex.
I absolutely love this scrub top! Our hospital just switched to all black (ehhhh :/) and I found this top online and thought I would give it a try.... I absolutely love it and want to buy more!! So comfy, stretchy, and also, this kind of material is kind of "slick" so it doesnt attract much lint (which is great for black). I would recommend this top to all!

On the Ohio State game
"There's a lot of good things that came out of that game. The score was not what you would want. But there was still a lot of good things that came out of it. It wasn't a complete disaster."
"I thought our defense played very, very well. Anytime you stop a team on a down they need one yard or less on seven out of eight times, it shows you are getting more physical on defense. Ohio State is probably considered one of the best teams in the country and one of the best teams in the country over a time span, and they are. They are a good football team."
"When breaking down the film, when they tried to run the ball in between the tackles they had very little success. The plays they bounced to the outside, they did a good job on. They were able to bounce some plays outside on us. But for the most part, I thought our defense played very, very well."
"The offense, of course, is the most glaring problem. But when I broke it down and looked at the film, we had 14 drives as an offense. Six of them ended up in turnovers. We had four drives that went 11 plays, nine plays, nine plays, nine plays. We started at the 22 each time and went inside the Ohio State 30. On each one of those drives, we went for it on [fourth down] ... down 27-0 we felt we needed to do it instead of punting or kicking field goals. We had four very nice drives during the game where we drove the ball from inside our 30-yard line to inside their 30-yard line. Those are good drives. The opening drive of the game was 10 plays for 54 yards where we stalled and had a field goal blocked. We had another one at the end which was 13 plays for 88 yards, and we came up with a touchdown. We only had one series where we went three plays and out."
"Whenever we didn't turn the ball over, we had drives going. If you look at that side of it, I think there are some positives."
"I'm not happy with the game. Our players aren't happy with the game. We just got beat out there. It had nothing to do with the weather - that was the same for both teams. It had nothing to do with the travel. I do feel, after reviewing the film, we are a better football team than the score indicated."
On the running game
"We had to put the running game away at the half. We averaged 3.7 per carry. Our goal around here is to average 4.0 a game. So the running game worked very well. That's pretty hard to fathom that when it's 43-10. But the running game, when we were running it, was working well for us.
On the quarterback protection
"The biggest glaring error in the game was protecting the quarterback. Our quarterback got hit 24 times in this game, and that's inexcusable. But it's correctable. A lot of it was because we got beat on the perimeter. They beat us with quickness a few times on the perimeter. But a lot of times, when we get beat on the pass rushes, it's poor execution in some of our gap protection assignments. I think those are things we have worked on, and those are things we can correct."
On the team's overall effort
"I don't think the effort was the problem. It comes down to execution. There's a lot of teams that can play real hard and lose, because they don't execute. There are a lot of teams that don't play with emotion, but they execute real well. It's all about execution and players making plays. More so at the college level than professional."
On quarterback David Carr's performance
"Dave Carr had some big time plays and some big time moments. I think he's going to be fine. I think he grew a lot from it. He hadn't been hit since high school, and he took a racking. Dave is a very competitive guy. He was trying to make plays. Some of those things he was trying to do is not what you want to do in a game. Sometimes you've got to eat the ball and take a sack, and at least line up again."
"He made some nice throws in the game. I thought he kept his composure. He's a tough guy. He got racked. The first hit of the game was the worst one. He was racked from there on in. But he hung in there the whole way. I've got a lot of confidence in him."
On UCLA
"I think their receivers are outstanding. They are a lot like the two receivers from Ohio State. Poli-Dixon and Mitchell are big time speed guys with height advantages. The big receivers are going to be a problem. They do a great job with play action. They do a great job with reverses and reverse passes. They've got a lot of gimmicks to them."
"Defensively, I think they are as big as Ohio State ... I think UCLA has a heck of a team. Alabama was supposed to be a really good football team, and UCLA dominated."
"They do a little more blitz-zone stuff [than Ohio State]. They are a lot more active as far as attacking the quarterback. They have some different concepts that way. They are more of a zone-pressure team instead of a man team ... I think UCLA has a good secondary. I think Ricky Manning is a good cornerback. I think they've got a really good secondary."
"It'll be interesting to see UCLA's secondary, because Ohio State is the best we've ever seen. I think UCLA is really close to them, though. UCLA has really good personnel. I thought they had good personnel last year, and they're all back. Just like Ohio State."

Cross (as in the Cross of Christ)
: In Old Testament Black and White
Joanne Sher
I didn�t have much experience with Christianity as a kid. I was Jewish, Bat Mitzvahed at 13, born and raised in the San Fernando Valley. Though my high school wasn�t closed for Jewish holidays, a quarter of the students were absent for the High Holy Days.
My father was raised orthodox; my maternal grandfather was a former cantor; my great aunt still kept kosher. My Jewish roots ran deep, and were important to me.
I do remember, however, my first church service. I was eight or so, and we were visiting my aunt and her family. I don�t remember the service, but I recall the pastor saying something disparaging about Jews, causing me to run out, quite upset. I still don�t remember what he said, but I did not enter a church again for 10 years.
The next one was Catholic. I was in college, dating a Catholic who brought me to Mass. I remember looking up at the front of the church, seeing the crucifix, and feeling more uncomfortable than I ever had before. I kept my eyes down for the rest of the service. That cross haunted me for quite a while.
I had other minor "encounters" with Christianity, but it wasn�t until I was married and living in the Midwest twelve years later that that cross grabbed my attention again.
My husband was nominally Jewish and we both followed our faith for a while. We soon stopped attending synagogue, however, neither of the local ones being to our liking. We still celebrated the major holidays, but nothing more.
I was working as a freelance writer for the local daily paper, and the religion editor had taken a liking to me, so I was writing for him. One day, he called and asked if I would cover a Christian women�s conference the following Saturday. I agreed skeptically, assuming it would be a bunch of fake, mushy women screaming "Hallelujah" and praising God for their wonderful lives.
Was I ever wrong.
The moment I walked into the arena, I felt a camaraderie among the women there, and a peace I simply couldn�t explain. The speakers, who I normally would have dismissed as hokey, resonated with me, and I felt myself filled with the same camaraderie and peace as those around me. I didn�t want to leave.
Unfortunately, I had no choice - I had a deadline to meet! And, as I left the building to walk the three blocks to the newspaper office, I felt that peace leave me just as suddenly as it arrived.
A myriad of questions ran through my mind.
What did those women have that I didn�t?
Could I find that kind of peace in Judaism if I was more devout, or was this a Christian phenomenon?
I decided I needed to start this quest of mine with my own faith. I found my copy of the Hebrew Bible and read the entire Old Testament from beginning to end in
two weeks
. I also typed out about 20 pages of notes.
Those two weeks brought several things to light, including my lack of obedience to God�s laws, and the emphasis throughout the Old Testament on vengeance and justice.
I knew what I had to do next. I began reading the New Testament. And there, it seemed, were answers to all my questions, comfort from all my fears. I finished the NT in another week, and added another dozen pages of notes to my collection.
Yet, I had some serious misgivings. I saw Jesus as a wonderful man, someone to emulate, but as God? As Messiah? My Jewish background and teachings were digging at me - "God is One," "Christ was a Jew-hater," and other mantras reverberated in my mind. I MIGHT be able to accept Jesus as Lord, but Savior?
Still, I started attending a bible-believing church, and began reading the bible through again. I got many new revelations on the Old Testament the second time through, but none as monumental as the one I received about 5 months after the women�s conference, from Isaiah.
But he was wounded because of our sins,
Crushed because of our iniquities.
He bore the chastisement that made us whole,
And by his bruises we were healed.
Isaiah 53:5 JPS
There it was, in black and while - in the
Scriptures: Christ�s death on the cross as payment for my sins. At this point, I had no choice. I embraced the cross, and have never turned back.

What an awesome testimony. Thanks for sharing your journey of discovery. Well written, too I might add.
Marilyn Schnepp
I love a story that enlightens me to other religions; giving me an insight into the "How?" and "Why?" one came to be a Christian. This did not disappoint - great job!
Folakemi Emem-Akpan
Thank you for sharing. Sometimes the answer to our question sits practically under our noses but prejudice sometimes make us search in the wrong places.
I hope this is a true story...God bless
Pauline TAIT
Awesome indeed as believers we all to seldom look at the cross to our own peril
Lynda Schultz
For many years, we prayed for, and worked with, a wonderful Jewish woman in Caracas. It took her a long time to accept Christ as her Messiah � and it is all there in the Old Testament. Wonderful word.
Dolores Stohler
Thanks for sharing your story. I'm so glad you took the time to search and read, to learn the truth about our savior. There are so many lies flying about. How great it would be if everyone would dare to venture out & seek truth instead of just believing the lies that are handed to them. God bless you.
Valora Otis
I know this feeling well. Thanks for reminding me. Your story was well crafted and a blessing to read. Thank you!
Ann FitzHenry
Thank you for sharing your story. Your testimony is beautiful!

This is engrossing reading, which kept this reader glued to the screen. Like Marilyn, I love hearing about other's encounters meeting Jesus. Thank you for your story!
Lynda Lee Schab
What a marvelous testimony! And how obvious it is that your "assignment" at that Women's Conference wasn't really from the Religion Editor at all. I'd dare say God was pursuing your heart all along! How wonderful that you allowed Him to catch it and haven't turned back since. I, for one, was deeply touched by your entry. Thanks for sharing. :-)
Jan Ackerson
What an absolutely wonderful testimony! Thank you so much for writing this out for us. I loved it.

T. F. Chezum
Very well written. Thank you for sharing this great testimony.
Jan Ross
Oh my ... your testimony is so beautiful! I have such a passion to understand the Jewish roots of Christianity and have studied it for years. But to read of your encounter with the Living Messiah, brings tears to my eyes! Thank you so much for opening up and giving us a glimpse of the Holy Spirit as He continues to draw His own to faith in Jesus, our Messiah! Awesome!!!!! :)
Shari Armstrong
An amazing testimony! Well written and needs to be shared! :)
Virginia Gorg
In black and white - good title for a well-written profound testimony. Only comment I have is to write out the numbers (such as ten, etc.).
william price
A great testimony! Very interesting. God bless.
Joanne Malley
Just goes to show you, God grabs exactly who He wants and it doesn't matter who they are! Terrific testimony. I'm so glad snatching you was part of His plan. :)
Linda Watson Owen
Oh, yes, Joanne! What a glorious testimony! So beautifully written! I really enjoy your crisp, clear writing style. May God bless your eloquent pen!
Rebecca Livermore
I love the way you wrote this from a Jewish perspective. Beautiful!

is this your testimony? If so, that is really powerful! Thank you for sharing.
Val Clark
A very powerful, well written, story and even more so if it is autobiographical! (BTW thanks for commenting on my Silent Stars entry)
Edy T Johnson
I just want to add a note of thanks for your comment on my "cross" entry, as well. I appreciate you!
Carol Gray
Joanne, what a wonderful testimony that you shared. Keep telling your story! Be Blessed, Carol Gray

Just as awesome the second time around! It's worth your extra undivided attention to get it published!
Crista Darr
Woo hoo. Right there in black and white! What an awesome testimony. He promised if we seek Him we will find Him. I'm so thankful. Welcome home, Joanne.
Venice Kichura
I so enjoyed reading your testimony, Joanne! A belated "excellent" job as always. It's sooo encouraging to see how God moves on the hearts of Jewish people...The ones I known are more fired-up for Jesus than most Gentiles.
Chuck Livermore
Cool story, Joanne. It really shows how the Holy Spirit drew you in bit by bit, and then brought every thing home with Isa. 53.
Claudette Wood
whoo! what a witness for God. amen, sister.
Sharon Hillary
God instructs us to love His people Isreal and pray for them. From the time I learned who the Jewish people were I have felt a tremendously strong love in my heart for the chosen of God. It is because of them, that we as gentiles have Him. When I was studying Revelation a few years ago, I learned about the Antichrist and the possibility that because of Jewish beliefs, many of God's chosen were in danger of accepting a false "messiah". This concerned me and scared me. This should be a concern to all believers and a motivation to pray for Isreal as a nation. Your testimony was so moving I had to read it again so that I could tell my friend, Patricia. Her ministry and calling is to witness to Isreal. We are believing for her to be able to go there this year. Thankyou for reminding me of how important the Jewish people are. ove in Christ, Sharon
Emily Ritter
Amen sister. I needed to hear a commitment of faith from a person who formally followed Judaism. It's hard, at present, for me to understand how the Jewish are God's chosen people...but if they do not accept Christ, they will parish in hell. If you have any comments on this, I'd love to hear it!
Jacquelyn Horne
Wonderful account of coming to know the Lord. I got right into this. I was once a newspaper reporter and am a believer.
Ruth Mossing
Dear Sister Joanne, God Bless,
This was a great article,
thanks for your great review of my Poem,"The Birth of Life"
and your belief in Jesus.
Isa 28-16 God Speaking:
"Therefore thus saith the
Lord God, Behold I Lay in
Zion (Church) for a foundation a Stone, a tried
Stone (Who else was tried in
Pilots Hall?), a precious
corner stone,a sure
foundation, He that believeth
shall not make haste.
Love and God Bless You,
quickening. Thanks for the
advice, I do need work on
my grammer.
Patricia Todd
Thank you for sharing your testimony. It is good to know how you came to know the Lord.
Sharon Henderson
I want to say more but...Wow!
I've heard Billy Graham say that if only one person comes to Christ through one of his crusades, that every penny spent on the crusade was worth it. I wonder if the organizers of the women's event that you went to ever found out about the seed they planted in your life.
I'm so glad that you are indeed part of the 'family'.
Debbie Wistrom
I was directed to this by a comment you left on one of my pieces. The main reason that I wanted to read it is because my step will be marrying a Jewish gal who we adore and during a phone call a couple nights ago he talked about the questions involved with the convergence of the two religions, he had been doing some reading. I know there are uncertain times ahead of them and if I hear that she is thinking of conversion, I will share this piece with her. Thanks for the thrilling testimony.
Betsy Cobb Wise
God's Word is so complete and encompasses every need for every individual. I pray that the present day Jews will see that their Messiah has already come.
Thank you for sharing your story of faith for those of us who do not have a Jewish culture and heritage to draw upon.
K. J. Cash
Your testimony is as touching as your life. I'm not sure if I would have stuck around, or felt good about participating here, if it weren't for you. Thanks for reaching out.
Jamie glaser
praise God! i too am a jewish believer, and was born again in college-i guess the truth kinda gnawed at me for 4-5 yrs also, until on eastere of sunday 2002, i gave in, and accepted Messiah! It has been a blast(though hard at times), but God has taught me so much about the love of His jewish son! always great to meet another jewish sister in Christ!
God bless
Karlene Jacobsen
Thank you JoAnn for sharing this powerful testimony. His love is amazing and His promises are true. He said seek and you will find, and you did.
I know it was a while ago, but the power of it never fades.
Diana Dart
This was a fabulous story Joanne (the writing was good too!), it's wonderful to hear how God reaches each of us. Thank you for sharing it (I know it was awhile ago, but I'm a late bloomer).
Teresa Lee Rainey
Joanne, I'm praising God for your testimony! Our stories are so different, and yet Jesus Christ is still the answer! Your journey to that answer is beautiful and it is a pleasure to now get the priviledge of getting to know you as a Sister in Christ!
Michael Blackston
As busy as I am, I have only just had the opportunity to stop and read a few articles from other writers. Apologetics is a passion of mine, so this immeditely intrigued me. I'm so happy and blessed to have read your account and I praise God that you are a sister in Christ. Beautiful writing and wonderful testimony.
LauraLee Shaw
This gave me goosebumps, Jo. Wow, what a powerful testimony. I'm so thankful for that assignment, and for God leading you to Himself through the Truth of the gospel. YOu're my sister!
Geraldine Rose
This is a great testimony. I wrote my testimony in a poem.I will submit it. Thanks for sharing it!
Eileen Knowles
Hi! I am new to faith writers. I really enjoyed reading your testimony. What a great reminder that if we seek Him we will find Him! Very well written too. Thanks for sharing :)
Bob Gotti
That is a wonderful and very candid testimony Joanne, and I felt the moving of the Spirit as I read your description of the atmosphere that enveloped the Christian Conference. God is truly amazing in how He leads people to the Truth and ultimately how He lead you to the one passage in the Old Testament that is unfortunately avoided by many Jews today.
Noel Mitaxa
I love the warmth, the gentle pace and the honesty of this piece. Beautiful job.
Len Snider
Since my miraculous rebirth six years ago, I love to read personal testimonies. Thank you for yours! The hand of the Holy Spirit is obvious in your uplifting writing. To know something of your background makes your comment to my "I Am Not My Own" All the more special. Abundant blessings upon your family, Sister.
Lynn Wallace
Joanne, what a beautiful testimony. God led you through an assignment to that women's conference. You searched, and made notes on the Old and New Testaments. You became convinced of the truth. Wonderful! I know two women who are friends of Jewish men. I have witnessed to one of these and he does not object. I will share your testimony if he shows interest in coming to the Messiah. I am also interested in finding out all I can about my heritage as a believer through the Jews. Without them we would have no Bible.
Clyde Blakely
Thank you for the tears and look forward to worshipping our Lord and Saviour in Heaven with you.

Dear Friends,
Over the past few weeks since the election. Many have asked "what are we to do now?" It is a challenging and delicate assignment to discuss what good freedom-loving citizens should be doing in a country that seems to be deteriorating around us. Some have resorted to fatalism and concluded all is lost. A few observers have even asked if NCCS has given up. May we spend a few minutes together, by this letter, and perhaps help put this election into perspective and share with you what we think our Founders would do and say if they were here today?
What Really Happened In The Election of 1996
First of all, there is no question that America will continue to feel the pressure of change in an adverse direction. However, we cannot lay the blame on one person. Our system of government was so devised that no one person could destroy it. The key is for the people to insist that the system of checks and balances, designed to prevent the abuse of power, really work. With this being done, America can and will survive.
Article II of the Constitution outlines just six areas in which the president had authority to function. It was Jefferson, the great constitutionalist President, who proclaimed at one point that there really isn't that much for the president to do!
It is the Congress - the representatives of the people - who controls the power of government. Congress appropriates the money. Congress funds the president and his executive branch. Congress funds the judiciary. Congress funds the military. Congress approves appointments made by the president. Congress is the key to saving America. Let's look for a moment what happened to Congress in the last election.
Human Events, in its November 15, 1996 edition, summarizes the election as follows:
"Despite media and Democratic attempts to spin the results to their benefit, the elections last week were actually an enormous victory for conservatism.
"For the first time in 68 years a Republican House was reelected. The Republican Senate majority expanded from six votes to a probable ten. Senators Bob Smith (R.-N.H.) and Jesse Helms (R.-N.C.), two of the most stalwart conservatives in recent Senate history, were returned to office despite dogged attempts to defeat them by virtually every liberal advocacy group in America.
"From the Southeast to the Northwest, seats vacated by moderate Republicans were filled by younger, more conservative partisans.
"Even Republican defeats revealed a silver lining. The most notable GOP loss in any single Senate race came in Massachusetts-where incumbent Gov. Bill Weld, a pro-abortion, pro-gay rights, pro-gun-control, born-again big spender, lost his bid to unseat incumbent Democratic Sen. John Kerry.
"Bill Clinton failed to win a majority of the popular vote.
"The message of the 1996 election is clear: Conservatism wins. Liberalism loses.
"The Washington Post itself was forced to admit the truth. Wrote liberal columnist David Broder: 'Exit polls confirmed [that] ...more people said they fear a Democratic Congress would be too liberal than thought a Republican Congress would be too conservative. By 5 to 4, they said government should do less, not more-a clear signal for continued fiscal austerity and against new federal programs."
Does this not give great hope to freedom-loving Americans? Does this not give an indication that our Constitutional system, as crumpled as it may be, still provides the vehicle whereby citizens can save themselves from tyrants. Does this not give an indication that there are still millions of right-thinking fellow Americans throughout our country who are trying to do what they can to right the wrongs they see? Perhaps we are approaching a test of each of us as individuals - a test whereby each one needs to ask himself, "How much does my freedom really mean to me?"
An Answer To Us From Thomas Jefferson
The great Thomas Jefferson provides an example in his later life that is instructional for us all. He died on July 4, 1826 at the age of 83. Just eight months before, he had become alarmed at the obtrusiveness of the federal government upon the rights of the states and the people. He drafted a document to be adopted by the Virginia General Assembly entitled Declarations and Protest of the Commonwealth of Virginia, on the Principles of the Constitution of the United States of America, and on the Violations of them. Keep in mind this is in 1825, just 36 years after the adoption of the Constitution. This great Founder had already noticed a beginning departure from the balanced, limited government of the Constitution, and so he wrote, "...the federal branch has assumed in some cases, and claimed in others, a right of enlarging its own powers by constructions, inferences, and indefinite deductions from those directly given, which this assembly does declare to be usurpations of the powers retained to the independent branches (states), mere interpolations into the compact, and direct infractions of it.
"They claim, for example, and have commenced the exercise of a right to construct roads, open canals, and effect other internal improvements within the territories and jurisdictions exclusively belonging to the several States, which this assembly does declare has not been given to that branch by the constitutional compact, but remains to each State among its domestic and unalienated powers, exercisable within itself and by its domestic authorities alone."
As though writing to all Americans in the present and future generations Jefferson then explained why we should be willing to make any sacrifice necessary to correct this imbalance in order to make this great experiment work. Said he: "We owe every other sacrifice to ourselves, to our federal brethren, and to the world at large, to pursue with temper and perseverance the great experiment which shall prove that man is capable of living in society, governing itself by laws self-imposed, and securing to its members the enjoyment of life, liberty, property, and peace...."
Then, as though peering down the corridor of America's history to 1996, Thomas Jefferson gives his best advice to those of us who wonder what we should be doing in our present crisis. What he said really encompasses the mission of the National Center for Constitutional Studies and should be the objective of every individual citizen who loves liberty. Said he: "...and further to show, that even when the government of its choice shall manifest a tendency to degeneracy, we are not at once to despair but that the will and the watchfulness of its sounder parts will reform its aberrations, recall it to original and legitimate principles, and restrain it within the rightful limits of self-government." (Public Papers 17 482:1)
We Have A Great Mission To Perform
Can we not then conclude that: 1) We who know the Founders' original success formula represent the "sounder parts" of our country, and 2) we find our country in a state of degeneracy, and 3) if we are to save it, we are not to despair, and 4) there are more representatives in our state legislatures and in Congress who are open to Constitutional ideas than have been there in many years, and 5) there are yet millions of people in the United States who would respond to the Founders' message if they just knew where to find it, and 6) it is worth every sacrifice we can make to save our nation for ourselves , our posterity, and for the world?
Assuming these are the sincere feelings of your heart concerning our beloved country, may I offer a few suggestions to consider.
Introducing Your Friends to The Miracle of America Audio Tape Series
When Dr. Skousen produced the Miracle of America Constitution Study Course on audio tape in 1981, I made a commitment that over a period of several weeks I would sell three sets a day to my acquaintances. Nearly every person I saw bought a tape album and study guide. Here's what I did.
First, I bought several sets from NCCS so as to get a discounted price on each one. I then made an appointment with three friends each day. I told them I only needed about ten minutes of their time. I took with me a tape album, the study guide, and a small tape recorder. After greeting my friend at his office or home, I handed him the Miracle of America Study Guide and \asked him to turn to a page I had previously selected. Then I played the tape for a few minutes letting him listen to Dr. Skousen and follow along in the study guide. Needless to say, that technique made a great impression and usually resulted in the person saying, "I'd like to have this for my family." I said the 12-tape album and study guide sells for $59.95 and I can let him have this one if he likes. Sale made. I personally sold a number of elected officials this great story of America and its Constitution and have had several of them thank me over the years for the information. Is this not something any of us could do?
Flooding the Nation With The Five Thousand Year Leap
Of all the books one can read on the American nation, I believe the book The Five Thousand Year Leap can do more to help save America than nearly any other. It will help fulfill Jefferson's desire to "recall [the federal government] to original and legitimate principles and restrain it within the rightful limits of self-government." In the Forward, Senator Orrin Hatch indicates how widespread The Five Thousand Year Leap ought to be throughout the land. Says he:
"Here is a book which should have been written 200 years ago. On the other hand, that may have been impossible. We may have needed the obstacles and experiences of the past two centuries to furnish us with a frame of reference which would help us understand what the Founders were trying to tell us.
"I am also pleased that this book is easy to read. It is presented in a way which makes it readily understood. Too many digests on the thinking of the Founders are too complex to be enjoyed and too divergent with trivia and technical details to be fully comprehended without the most laborious study.
"This volume is concise and carefully researched. It is the kind of stimulating book I should like to see being studied in all of our high schools and universities. It would be equally profitable reading for members of Congress and Justices of the Supreme Court. I would recommend it to the White House staff and the officers of executive agencies who are seeking guidance in solving the complex problems which face America today. I believe that any solution which does violence to the fundamental thinking of the Founders will fail. America needs a stronger track record of success in many areas. We will do better if we go back and study the Founders again."
I have personally placed copies of this book in many ways. I have given it as a gift to officials who have just been elected to public office. I have encouraged this book to be used as a high school textbook and felt the excitement of students in learning the 28 Principles of Liberty contained in it. I have met with groups of families and neighbors in homes to methodically go through the book, principle by principle ( see our Evening a Month for America Discussion Guide). I have even given The Five Thousand Year Leap as a wedding gift! (My wife chuckles at times about this one but I remind her it may do more good than another toaster!) NCCS will make these books available at a most economical price to help you have them when opportunities present themselves.
Sponsor or Co-Sponsor a Live Making of America Seminar in Your Area
Another way one can exhibit a spirit of sacrifice to save America is by hosting a live seminar. This does take work, but is most rewarding. NCCS has already scheduled several seminars for the first two months in 1997 in Idaho, Texas, Nebraska, Arizona, and Washington. We would love to come to your state or community as well.
In conjunction with this, may I make another plea for you to be a monthly, regular contributor to NCCS. As much as possible we expect each seminar to pay for itself. There are, however, a few places we have been requested to bring seminars where it is difficult to expect them to pay for themselves. One place is Washington D. C. We are currently working on arrangements to have one for newly elected Congressmen and their staffs. With so many groups in the nation's capitol lobbying for a Congressman's time, few would actually put out money for a seminar until they know how really valuable it is. Your $10 or more each month is extremely valuable to help put on such events. We feel 1997 will be a big year for us in these areas and hope you can see the wisdom of stretching a bit to help us.
Thomas Jefferson Pleads With Us To Do It!
These four techniques I have mentioned to help spread the message of liberty are ways any citizen can help fulfill Jefferson's dream of restoring the delicate, balanced government the Founders gave us. Here are two more pleadings from his pen:
"The ground of liberty is to be gained by inches, and we must be contented to secure what we can get, from time to time, and eternally press forward for what is yet to get. It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good." (The Real Thomas Jefferson, page 524)
"The last hope of human liberty in this world rests on us. We ought, for so dear a stake, to sacrifice every attachment and every enmity.
"When we reflect that the eyes of the virtuous all over the earth are turned with anxiety on us as the only depositories of the sacred fire of liberty, and that our falling into anarchy would decide forever the destinies of mankind and seal the political heresy that man is incapable of self-government, the only contest between divided friends should be who will dare farthest into the ranks of the common enemy." (The Real Thomas Jefferson, page 525)
Surely the Prince of Peace Would Have Us Do It!
As we celebrate the coming of Him who gave us the perfect formula for peace, may we remember that His formula can be most fully experienced in an atmosphere of individual and national liberty. Liberty leaves us free to build peace, peace within our family, peace within our community, peace within our nation, and eventually peace within our world. The Founders had a vision of it. They knew we could do it. The Prince of Peace expects us to do it. May His blessings be upon you and yours this season.
Merry Christmas from NCCS,
Earl Taylor, Jr.

Related with the type of child institutions, institutions are under control of the Ministry of Education,
Ministry of Health and Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of Population.
Therefore the database should be built in such way that it can cover all these organisations.
Facts about Children
There are many facts about Children that we can record (and some of these can be a 'Status' field):-
Child Date of Birth
Child Date of Death
Children with special needs
Children deprived from parental care
Street children
Juvenile offenders
Refugee and internally displaced children
Children in institutions
Not registered children
Children in kindergartens
Children at schools
Children in penitentiary
Different kinds of Institution:
Special boarding school for children with mental retardation.
Business Rules
Here are four 'Business Rules' that apply to the Database ...
1. Children mainly do not move from one institution to another, except cases when children need special care or treatment.
Therefore there is a Table called 'Children_in_Institutions' so that we can record movements of children from one Institution to another.
2. There are assigned persons in the institutions to care for children.
The number of these persons are less than children, and in some cases one person can care for twenty children.
Therefore, there is a Table of Staff and each Child is assigned a member of Staff to care for them.
3. The majority of the children in institutions in Azerbaijan fall into the category of the so-called social orphans.
This means they have at least one parent. It will be appropriate to keep their record as well record of the relatives for de-institutionalization.
Therefore we have a Table of 'Relatives' and each Child can be assigned with just one Relative.
4. It is important to keep that track of Children's state of health, in line with recommendation of the UN
Committee on the Rights of the Child.
Therefore, Tables will be created to record health of children at specific dates and appropriate medical details.

The Reef community
The Great Barrier Reef is important to many coastal communities that depend on the reef for recreation and their livelihoods.The Great Barrier Reef also supports a range of industries and creates jobs for Queenslanders.
The Marine Park is visited and used by residents living within the Great Barrier Reef catchment every year, in addition to other visitors, for recreation purposes.
Communities contribute to reef protection and management in a number of ways, including:
- Participating in Local Marine Advisory Committees
- Providing feedback through consultation processes
- Reporting incidents that occur out on the water
- Submitting feedback through our Sightings Network
- Following responsible reef practices out on the water
Sharing Reef storiesThe Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority undertook a strategic assessment in conjunction with the Queensland Government to identify the biodiversity, heritage and community values of the Reef, the threats to those values and what we need to do to address them. As part of this process, we spoke with key stakeholders to get their feedback and input.
Community interviews
Listen to some reef stakeholders share their views on why the Reef is special, what the threats are, and what we can do to protect it. Share your reef story by posting to our Facebook page.

Gamow's Writing
"It was a bank holiday, and Mr Tompkins, the little clerk of a big city bank, slept late and had a leisurely breakfast. Trying to plan his day, he first thought about going to some afternoon movie and, opening the morning paper, turned to the entertainment page. But none of the films looked attractive to him. He detested all this Hollywood stuff, with infinite romances between popular stars.
"If only there were at least one film with some real adventure, something unusual and maybe even fantastic about it. But there was none. Unexpectedly, his eye fell on a little notice in the corner of the page. The local university was announcing a series of lectures on the problems of modern physics, and this afternoon's lecture was to be about Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Well, that might be something!"
So begins the first chapter of "Mr. Tompkins in Wonderland."
George Gamow was perhaps most widely known for his popular writings on science that introduced millions of readers to concepts of relativity and atomic and nuclear physics. These writings have been translated into several dozen languages. In recognition of the global impact of his popular scientific writings, he was awarded the Kalinga Prize by the United Nations in 1956.

We reported yesterday that the PlayStation 4 will not be capable of reading audio CDs, nor will it playback MP3s. Its main competitor, the Xbox One, has now been confirmed of being capable of playing back audio CDs.
Not only that, but the Xbox One will also service as a media player, where the next-gen console will stream media from your home network. This is great for those of us out there who run NAS systems, so the Xbox One is now back on my radar pending codec support.

Anna Karenina
by Leo Tolstoy
Anna Karenina Part 8, Chapter 3 Summary
- Koznyshev and Katavasov board the train to the tune of "Slavsya," a patriotic Russian song.
- Katavasov, who wants to meet some volunteers, goes into the second-class carriage at the next stop to chat with them.
- He feels that all of the men he meets are good-for-nothings who are fleeing debt and a general purposelessness in their lives.
- Katavasov tries to confirm this impression with a real military man who is also on the train, but neither of them wants to voice a poor opinion of the movement.
- Katavasov goes back to the first-class compartment and tells Koznyshev only the nicest things about the Volunteers.
People who Shmooped this also Shmooped...

If your looking for the best in crab dining that Tampa Bay has to offer, you have two types of establishments to consider. A seafood restaurant, or a Florida lifestyle crab shack. Crab shacks are whole-in-the-wall throwbacks to the 1950's seafood roadhouse diners that used to dot the Florida coast line. In addition to looking like a hole-in-the-wall, they have wooden picnic tables and serve all their drinks in plastic cups. Why plastic? Because glass isn't allowed on the beach and in the 50's it was all about the to-go-cup, which by the way are now illegal. These days the plastic cups and picnic tables are just a cherished part of the old Florida lifestyle.
Here's our list of the best Tampa Bay restaurants and shacks that serve crab.
Crabby Bill's
Crabby Bill's is the perfect example of what the Florida lifestyle is all about with picnic tables and clear plastic cups for your beer. Despite the rustic setting they serve incredible tasting soft shell Blue Crab and Opilio Snow Crab steamed and served with fresh drawn butter. The St. Pete Beach location serves also serves Alaskan Jumbo King Crab and Snow Crab. They have five Pinellas County locations to choose from including St. Pete Beach, Clearwater Beach and Indian Rocks Beach.
3401 Bayshore Blvd.
Tampa, Florida 33629
813-839-7558 | www.thenade.com
This restaurant is a more upscale version of the Florida lifestyle because it's indoors and has burnt wood tables instead of picnic tables. The Colonnade's stunning water views of downtown Tampa skyline add a touch of class to dining at this earthy seafood joint. They serve hand breaded and lightly fried soft shelled crab, steamed snow crabs and some of Tampa Bay's best crab cakes.
Related: Best Places in Tampa Bay for a Sunset Dinner
Crab Shack Restaurant
11400 Gandy Blvd
St. Petersburg, Florida 33702
727-576-7813 | www.crabshack.com
The Crab Shack is another fine example of the quaint 1950's Florida lifestyle but without the open air dining. They specialize in blue crabs which you can order with a spicy seasoning or just with garlic butter. They also serve Snow and Dungeness Crab, Stone Crab Claws, Alaskan King and Snow Crabs. They have a "All You Can Eat Crab Legs Special" on Thursday nights during crab season (June-Jan). This whole in the wall shack is very popular and usually is packed with locals and tourists… so beware there may be a wait list.
Fresh Harvest
Seminole Hard Rock Casino
5223 North Orient Rd
Tampa, FL 33610
866-502-7529 | www.seminolehardrocktampa.com
The Hard Rock's Fresh Harvest restaurant inside the Seminole Hard Rock Casino has a seafood buffet that includes steamed crab leg and it's quite a spread! For you big eaters Fridays in February they have "All You Can Eat Crab Legs" that ranges in price from $30 – $40. Beware this is a very popular night and the buffet line can get long. The casino's players club offers free meals at Fresh Harvest once you have enough points which makes the lines even longer. Six days a week Fresh Harvest offers crab legs as a add on item for $10 but it is NOT an "All You Can Eat".
Joe's Crab Shack
2730 Gulf to Bay Blvd.
Clearwater, FL 33755
727-799-8530 | www.joescrabshack.com
Joe's doesn't just have crabs…they have buckets full of crabs that they bring to your table. The have seven different types of crab buckets and 3 different sauces to choose from. Your crab bucket choices are: King, Queen, Snow, Pacific Dungeness, Arctic and everyone's favorite crustacean lobster. All crab buckets are served with red potatoes, fresh ear of corn and a buttermilk biscuit.

This Oldsmar Grill's decor has a trendy and tropical Tommy Bahama feel to it. If the old school Florida life style doesn't appeal to you City Fish Grill is the perfect option. They serve steamed crab leg clusters by half or full pound. The food can be pricey but it's worth it if you love crab legs.
Derby Lanes
10490 Gandy Blvd.
St. Petersburg, FL 33702
727-812-3339 | www.derbylanes.com
You may think we're crazy for adding a Grey Hound Racing Park to our list of best places to get crab but don't laugh until you've experienced their buffet with all you can eat snow crab legs. There is only one word to describe this spread – UNBELIEVABLE! The Friday and Saturday evening buffet not only includes crab legs but also prime rib, shrimp, oysters, pastas, soup, salad, and other delectable entrees. Best part…it's all you can eat! It is pricey at $25.95 per-person but well worth the price just for the beautiful and large crab legs. The buffet runs from 6:30-9:30 p.m. and is very popular during tourist season so reservations are suggested. In slow summer months they offer two for one buffet dining, check with Derby Lanes for dates of this promotion.

Is it possible with a few laptops (with wifi cards) and a working BT Home Hub* (all machines can connect to internet) to get a simple private home lan going?
From one machine I can ping another by IP address (and I see that the Home Hub can give static addresses to the same machine). But how would I - for example - set up a web server locally on one of the machines and then access those web pages from another machine?
Is this possible? Does it need some kind of hardware or DNS tinkering?
I can I simply play with /etc/hosts files? [nothing but linux over here ;-) ]
I'm a web developer by trade you see and my vision is that I have my regular worksation BUT with another laptop being used as a web/database server.
Possible or just a pipe dream?
*Or for non-Brits a "wireless broadband router" ;-)

TNA News
– Velvet Sky pushed hard for TNA to re-sign Angelina Love as she continuously pitched her over the last year. It's no surprise they're working with Madison Rayne not only because of past storylines but because it was Rayne that actually talked Velvet into returning to the company.
– AJ Styles is committed to New Japan Pro Wrestling and Ring of Honor for the rest of the year. He continues to be "heavily pursued" by Jeff Jarrett's new group, however, AJ didn't want to be inactive this year and Jarrett's promotion isn't likely to get off the ground until the end of 2014. We're told Styles is also curious to see how things shake out with TNA Wrestling and Spike TV. There are a lot of moving parts. Will Jarrett's promotion end up on Spike? If not Spike, what about another Viacom channel such as CMT? Will TNA keep their clearance for Impact Wrestling? It's this that has caused Styles to take a "wait and see" approach in terms of the United States and he likes working for Ring of Honor because it doesn't prevent him from working for NJPW, which carries a nice payday. While New Japan isn't paying Styles what TNA was, between working there, ROH and select independent dates, Styles will end up earning more than TNA's final offer when they were trying to re-sign him earlier this year. Another element to this is Styles would like to go to WWE. He's been informed through intermediaries that if they had any intention of giving him a look, it would be after a year or so when it wouldn't seem like they were bringing in one of TNA's top guys. Styles' patient approach could end up putting him in a nice position at the beginning of next year. TNA could be more in need of top talent and if Jarrett's group signs Kurt Angle like many anticipate, Jarrett will obviously want AJ as well. Take into account that WWE could be interested by then in addition to his current options with NJPW and ROH and he would have a lot of leverage. Remember, TNA lowballed Styles because he had nowhere to go so opting out and getting booked independently could end up making him a highly sought after free agent.
– TNA Wrestling's Vice President of Talent Relations and Creative John "Big" Gaburick will be answering fans questions for the first time in a Q&A session. Below is the official statement from TNA Wrestling (or at this link):
ImpactWrestling.com is providing you unique access to the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and Creative, John "Big" Gaburick.

– The Sioux City Journal has a new article online featuring quotes from TNA Champion Magnus to promote this weekend's TNA live event in the city. In it, Magnus calls winning the TNA title the highlight of his career so far. He also talks about being a natural villain because he's not from the United States. Click here to read the article in its entirety.
– This week's episode of Impact Wrestling did an average viewing audience of 1,156,000 viewers on Spike TV. The company regained a spot in the top 100 cable shows for adults 18-49 for the whole day. More data is available here at TVbytheNumbers.

Fans of Virginia-based heavy metal band Lamb of God love it when their favorite group makes headlines, as they often do in the music press around the world. For the past few years though, the band has been in the news for all the wrong reasons as lead singer Randy Blythe was arrested in 2012 on manslaughter charges in the Czech Republic, accused of causing the death of a fan that he pushed from the stage during a concert in Prague in 2010. Ultimately Blythe was exonerated (last year) and the band's focus is now back on the music, and fans can now get the details of the event in the new documentary film "As The Palaces Burn," soon to be screened in the Phoenix area.
"As The Palaces Burn" is named after the title of the third Lamb of God album and is directed by Don Argott for Epic Records and 9.14 Films. The show begins with shots of Blythe walking along the James River in Richmond, talking about how he lived there for a while as a derelict before Lamb of God happened, and marveling at how now he gets paid to travel the world "and scream." Band members reminisce, fans are interviewed, then about a third of the way into the film the incident in the Czech Republic comes up and that story takes up the rest of the film, playing out as the band sweats the situation back in the States while Blythe endures a weeklong trial in Prague. The Czech authorities allowed the trial to be filmed and Argott's footage captures the seriousness of the proceedings every time he shows Blythe's face. Fans may have read the details of all this previously but the film really immerses the viewer in the situation, making for edge-of-the-seat viewing even though it is already known that the charges are dropped.
Lamb of God fans in the Phoenix area can see a special screening of "As The Palaces Burn" that will also include a newly-filmed Q&A session with the band at FilmBar (815 N. 2nd Street, Phoenix) or at the Digiplex Surprise Pointe 14 (13649 N. Litchfield Rd., Surprise) on February 27. Digiplex Surprise Pointe 14 will have an encore showing on March 17.
"As The Palaces Burn" is screening all around the world; for a list of theaters and show times visit the "As The Palaces Burn" website.
For more information on the band, visit the official Lamb of God website.
