Holocaust Denial on Trial, Skeleton Argument of the Claimant (long): Electronic Edition, by Adrian DaviesTable of Contents

The weight to be attributed to the evidence of the Defendants' experts
17."The duties and responsibilities of expert witnesses in civil cases" (per Cresswell J) were, it is respectfully submitted, well described by Cresswell J in The Ikarian Reefer [1993] 2 Lloyd's Rep. 68 at 81 to 82. This part of Cresswell J's judgment was by no means disapproved when the C.A. reversed him at [1995] 1 Lloyd's Rep. 455. They "include the following":--
- "1. Expert evidence presented to the Court should be, and should be seen to be, the independent product of the expert, uninfluenced as to form or content by the exigencies of litigation.
- "2.An expert witness should provide independent assistance to the Court by way of objective, unbiassed opinion in relation to matters within his expertise. An expert witness in the High Court should never assume the role of an advocate.
- "3.An expert witness should state the facts or assumption upon which his opinion is based. He should not omit to consider material facts which could detract from his concluded opinion.
- "4.An expert witness should make it clear when a particular question or issue falls outside his expertise."
18.Gray J describes the Defendants' five expert witnesses and their purported areas of expertise at 4.17. It should be borne in mind that the Defendants had leave to call six historians and six social scientists as expert witnesses. They did not have (because they had not sought) permission to call experts in other disciplines, such as architecture, chemistry, or the technology of gas chambers and crematoria.
19.Irving's case is that all five were motivated by ideological bias, and that Evans in particular and Longerich to a lesser extent were demonstrably motivated by personal hatred, so transgressing against Cresswell J's principles 1 and 2, and that Evans offended gravely against 3 in relation to the Schlegelberger memorandum (para. 55 below) and the Bartz telex (para. 171 below). Irving contended throughout that Van Pelt is doubtfully an expert in any relevant discipline at all. On the most generous view of Van Pelt's expertise, he gave crucial evidence on matters in respect of which he did not even purport to be an expert, contrary to 4, namely the chemistry of fumigation and killing by gas chamber, and the fuel consumption of crematoria.
20.Further, the fees which the Defendants paid to these experts for giving their evidence were so grotesquely large (Gray J was shocked by the figures on 5th May 2000, especially the payment to Funke, who made a very short appearance indeed at trial) that they could not possibly have given evidence "uninfluenced as to form or content by the exigencies of litigation".
21.The experts' fees were: Van Pelt £109,244.24, Funke £92,557.94, Longerich £76,195.25, Evans £70,181, and Browning a (relatively) modest £27,632.12.

Best snippet/code management app I came across!
I've tried all code snippet apps and this one is the best. It's highly customizable and I love how the menubar app gives you quick access to all your code without opening entire app. I'm just waiting for code sharing integration.
@bitnix Please check out the latest version. CodeBox 1.1 brought support for multiple assets!
@bitnix : Thanks a lot for the feedback and feature requests! I'll consider to add them in the future updates.
Nice app!
(⦠Contd from prev. comment.)
Sure, nothing prevents me from pasting it in as plain text, but rather a separation between pure code snippets (to be pasted elsewhere) and info scraps would be something I'd prefer a lot. One of the reasons being that when I search for code snippets in the statusbar, I don't necessarily want to wade through all my info scraps to find the piece of code that I'm looking for. Likewise can be said about the opposite â" when I want to refer to some saved information, I don't want to step through all my (pure) code snippets. Ideally, I'd like to separate these two conceptually different facilities â" calling one "Snippets" and the other one "Scraps" â" and then provide their own keyboard shortcuts for searching.
Very promising little tool. A solid non-regret buy.
+ Light memory footprint.
+ Simple and intuitive interface.
+ Very competitive price.
- One thing I miss in all code snippet apps I've tried (not just Code Box), is a facility to store infos of various kinds. I.e. not just code snippets per se, but also scraps of information from websites, blogs, etc. (with code and descriptional text intermixed) such as short rundowns of the most common brew/gem/git/vim commands, deployment instructions, cheatsheets and somesuch.

Guilty verdict in Newtown revenge shooting
Published: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 1:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 1:19 p.m.
SARASOTA - A man accused shooting at a truck and killing a member of a rival Newtown group was found guilty on all charged by a jury Friday, says an assistant state attorney.
Olajuwon Butler, 18, was found guilty of second-degree murder with a firearm. Prosecutors say the shooting was part of an ongoing feud was responsible for the death of the man's brother.
As many as 60 people on a Friday night were at "the corner," a well-known spot in the neighborhood where locals hang around outside a church and a nightclub. On Oct. 1, 2011, about 1 a.m. the victim Hakeem Murray, 20, was in the passenger seat of a friend's truck, driving slowly by a corner in the 1900 block of Dr. Martin Luther King Junior Way when he was shot and killed.
Butler faces a mandatory 25 year sentence and a maximum sentence of life in prison for the verdict. His sentencing date has not been set yet.

While there always have been periodic drug shortages, the problem has become much more acute in the past two years. The main culprit appears to be drug-manufacturing and supply-chain failings, particularly related to the production of generic sterile injectables. Decisions by firms to exit certain low-profit markets often leave only one or two producers for a widely-used parenteral or other product. Some manufacturers have had to halt production due to problems meeting GMPs. Such developments raise charges that too-strict FDA oversight aggravates the problem—or that industry negligence and business practices put the public health at risk. Another possibility is that policies and practices that drive down reimbursement for old-line generics discourages industry investment in certain therapeutic categories.
These issues made headlines in September as Congressional committees held hearings on the drug shortage crisis and broader pharmaceutical supply-chain problems. An FDA public workshop on Sept. 26, 2011, provided a forum for health professionals, patient advocates, drug distributors and manufacturers to air concerns and propose remedies for short drug supplies. The resulting publicity has boosted Congressional interest in legislation to address pharmaceutical supply-chain issues in general, and the drug shortage situation in particular. FDA has prepared a report analyzing steps it can take to tackle shortages with its current limited authority, and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) is examining the causes and responses to the drug-shortage crisis.GETTING WORSE
Policymakers may take action because, despite extensive FDA efforts, "drug shortages are getting worse," said Douglas Throckmorton, deputy director of FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), at the FDA workshop. The agency recorded 178 drug shortages in the US in 2010, up from 157 in 2009—and much more than the 50–60 per-year range of previous years, reported Edward Cox, coordinator of CDER's drug-shortage program. The problem is even more serious when looking at all drugs and biologics: the University of Utah Drug Information Service recorded 210 shortages this year as of mid-September, slated to surpass last year's total 211 short-supply problems. And because supply problems often last more than a year, some 260 active shortages are in the Utah tracking system.
Moreover, 74% of the shortages reported to FDA last year involved sterile injectables—and almost all of them for "medically necessary" drugs, noted Howard Koh, assistant secretary for health in the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), at a September hearing before the House Energy and Commerce Health subcommittee.
Shortages in parenterals have taken a toll on hospitals and clinics: a survey by the American Hospital Association in June 2011, found that virtually all hospitals have experienced at least one drug shortage this year, and half report 21 or more supply problems. This builds on a March survey by the Premiere Healthcare Alliance that documented soaring shortages along with exorbitant prices for these products (see the June 2011 Washington Report column, "Safety Concerns and Shortages Challenge Manufacturers").
Koh cited a long list of underlying factors driving the short-supply trend: industry consolidation, limited raw materials, changes to inventory and distribution practices, production delays, increases in demand, and business decisions to close down a manufacturing site. When there are only one or two sources for a crucial drug, explained pharmacist Richard Paoletti of Lancaster (Pennsylvania) General Health, a small shift in production lines, plus just-in-time inventory controls at hospitals, make it hard to buffer the impact.

Route 209 in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area was closed for about an hour Tuesday morning after a man was injured in a single car crash.
It happened a 6:18 a.m. at mile marker 10, an unpopulated park area near Delaware Township.
A 50-year-old man was traveling north when he lost control of the car, swerved into the oncoming lane and continued off the road, striking a pine tree, NPS Spokeswoman Kathleen Sandt said.
Both airbags deployed. The driver had to be extracted from the car. He had injuries to his face and legs and was transported to Pocono Medical Center.

10.1-5 Criminal Simulation -- § 53a-141 (a) (2)
Revised to December 1, 2007
The defendant is charged [in count __] with criminal simulation. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of criminal simulation when with knowledge of its true character and with intent to defraud, (he/she) issues or possesses an object that has been made or altered in such manner that it appears to have an antiquity, rarity, source or authorship that it does not in fact possess.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Issued or possessed
a falsified object
The first element is that the defendant issued or possessed an object that had been made or altered in such manner that it appeared to have an antiquity, rarity, source or authorship that it did not in fact possess. Simulation is the assumption of a false appearance. Criminal simulation is a feigned or fictitious transaction to effect a fraud. <Insert as appropriate:>
"Issuing" means signing, endorsing, circulating, distributing, publishing or the like.
"Possession" means either actual possession or constructive possession. Actual possession means actual physical possession, such as having the object on one's person. Constructive possession means having the object in a place under one's dominion and control. <See Possession, Instruction 2.11-1.>
Element 2 - Knowledge
The second element is that the defendant knew the true character of the object. A person acts "knowingly" with respect to conduct or circumstances when (he/she) is aware that (his/her) conduct is of such nature or that such circumstances exist. <See Knowledge, Instruction 2.3-3.>
The third element is that the defendant specifically intended to defraud another person. <See Intent to Defraud, Instruction 2.3-6.>
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant (issued / possessed) <insert type of object and describe how it had been falsified>, 2) (he/she) knew the true character of the object, and 3) (he/she) intended to (deceive / defraud / injure) another person.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of
criminal simulation, then you shall find the defendant guilty. On the other
hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to prove beyond a
reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the defendant not

does anyone know how to get rid of cramps in ribs? whenever i run more than 2 miles at a fast pace, i always get really bad cramps in my ribs.
thanks for the help,
hydrate more the night before
My college health teacher told me some tips for that and I have never had problems since....
Warm up, relax, try to breathe as normally as you can, slow your pace, and lastly (the one that helps the most)...She said usually you get a side stich/cramp from having your diaphram out of rhythm.
When you feel that coming on, try to relax, but when you exhale push your stomach inward (think about squeezing a bottle)...I have found this (making sure you are pulling your stomach in while you exhale) seems to get the best results....
Hope this helps...
Does hydrating have a benefit even if you are only running a short distance (2 - 3 miles)?
If you are training just for fitness, recreation, or fun (and not serious racing/athletics), then I say you are probably training at too fast a pace. For me, when I took Galloway book advice and targeted training at 2 mins/mile slower than what I thought I could do if I really tried, I never again had rib cramps/stitches. Then, I slowly picked up the pace to get back to where I had dropped down from, but without discomfort or pain. My rule is that you should not stop because of rib pain or being winded, but because your running muscles tell you that its time, or you are sticking to a methodical plan.
take that approach and you reach your goals with less chance of injury or the demotivation of stopping because of pain.
that's what worked for me in going from a ceiling of a half mile to 22 miles.
When having this issue in training my track coach recommended dropping and doing some crunches. The blood flow from the crunches cured the problem evey time. Try to give yourself sufficient time between eating and running as this is a big cause of cramping. If you don't have the energy to run on an empty stomach drink some Gatorade. Pepto Bismol is also great for stomach acid issues when running, but should be taken at least 20 minutes ahead of time.
Personal Trainer in Los Angeles
I have had the same problem. I figured out to I needed some light food in my stomach. If I ran on an empty stomach it would happen to me. I needed to eat about 30 min before running. Try it without eating then with eating. I also started using muscle milk with water. Don't eat a lot just something and drink something as well. Warm up then do your run see if it still happens. That is how I worked it out for myself. Good luck cramps suck.
Hi Mitch!
I've had the same problems in the recent past... I took a form class at the local running store here in Okemos, MI (as they're free). You might check to see if you have one in your area. Anyways, I was instructed to begin a whole new journey of correcting my form. Starting at the "core". I found out that your running form is only as efficient and pain-free as your core is strong. Once I began focusing on my core for 15 minutes, 3 times a week, I noticed... hey!... no more cramps! RIGHT ON! Here's a link that might get you started: Core Strengthening Exercises
I'd love to hear what you find works for you & take care,
I use a similar strategy as Runr262. I think it's usually about relaxing. I loosin up my my arms and get them further from my body. Relax my hands. Take deeper breathes to get more oxygen in the body. Sometimes I'll slow down my pace and rest my hands on my head to open up my lungs more.
Often I get the cramps if I run on an empty stomach or if I didn't warm up before the run.
I had this problem when I ate before I ran. Now I run before I eat, but only for 45 minutes max, to not go into starvation mode.
Lots of great ideas above. I think I might have to try some new strategies.
If you specifically mean the stitches under the ribs on the right side, here is a great article that explains it:
I've tried the thing about always landing on the left foot while exhaling and found it didn't always work. Taking longer, fuller breaths helps sometimes too.
I agree with some of the entires below...pre-run hydration preparation...i.e. the night before and before you run. Also, post run hydration to prepare for the next run or next workout.
However; when you get a side cramp during a race or a run, the best way to get rid of it is to...
1.) Relax your body, especially your torsoe.
2.) try to burp up, or make yourself burp...I know it sounds weird, but don't knock it until you try it. The motion or process of you trying to conjure a burp works out the cramp.
3.) Squeeze the area of the cramp.
Let me know how it goes...
Check your posture. You are probably slouching in the miles leading to the cramp. Concentrate on running "tall, quick, and efficient".
When I get a stitch in my side, I make sure that I "belly breathe". Relax your stomach muscles and expand your stomach as you breathe in and contract it as you breathe out. Works every time for me.

Tidy, very well working one_room_kitchen_ bathroom apartement in the very centre of Freiburg's Old town. The host was very friendy and helpful. Wlan, carpark etc where perfect. Ideal for one or two persons to spend holiday.
This is a nice little studio apartment in a great location, next to the Rathausplatz. The owner maintained good communication and met me as arranged at the entrance. He gave good instructions in English or German. The place was clean and well furnished. The two little balconies are an added plus.
I stayed for two weeks and found it pleasant, efficient and convenient. WiFi is provided. It faces west so may get a bit warm in summer, but I was there in the fall and the temperature was fine - the heat works well when it is chilly. The frequent churchbells are delightful. There are cafe's nearly next door and the ample street life throughout the old town is all within easy stroll. So is the wooded hillside area just to the east of the old town. The university is a few minutes' walk, and the train station can be reached on foot in ten minutes.
Note that late night noise from street revelers is an issue on weekends. Otherwise it is generally quiet. I would definitely recommend this, and hope to return myself.
Chic, lovely little apt. Clean and beds were very comfortable. The location is amazing .Literally steps to the market, shops, bakeries ...We loved having our breakfast on the terrace in the morning.
Robert was a wonderful guest. He met us with the keys, showed us the apartment and made us feel very welcomed. We travel to Freiburg often and this is by far our favourite apt. Thanks again Robert
Wir waren zu zweit eine Woche in dieser schönen Wohnung am Rathaus mitten in der Freiburger Altstadt, 3 Minuten Fußweg vom Münster entfernt; man verlässt das Haus und ist gleich im Altstadtleben.Robert hat uns zuvorkommend in Empfang genommen und uns auch zu seinem 10 Gehminuten entfernt liegenden Tiefgaragenplatz geführt - auch ein toller Service.
Für uns zwei war die Wohnung in der 3. Etage (mit Fahrstuhl) optimal, die beiden kleinen Balkone waren morgens und abends ein schöner Ort der Entspannung.
Es muss gesagt werden, dass man rund m die Uhr die 'soundscape' des Innenstadtlebens vernimmt, von den morgentlichen Kehrmaschinen, dem Ladeverkehr bis hin zu den nächtlichen Heimkehrern, die oftmals grölend die Straße unten entlanggehen - und natürlich die ganz speziellen Glockentöne, auch viertelstündlich durchgehend nachts. Wer das alles so gar nicht mag, sollte vielleicht nicht in der Altstadt, sondern außerhalb wohnen oder was für die Ohren mitnehmen ...
Praktisch sind auch die Supermärkte in der Nähe, ein Reformhaus sowie auch ein Alnatura-Geschäft wenige Fußminuten von der Wohnung entfernt.
Wir haben direkt von der Wohnung aus etliche Wanderungen ins grüne Umland unternommen.
Wofür der Vermieter allerdings nichts kann, sind die relativ hohen Gebühren dieses vermittelnden Portals.
Alles zur vollsten Zufriedenheit! Die Wohnung war sehr schön und hat die Erwartungen sogar noch übertroffen. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war sehr nett, unkompliziert und zuvorkommend! Kann ich jedem wärmstes empfehlen!
Die Wohnung liegt zentral in der Altstadt, zeitweise Verkehrsberuhigt. Bei offenem Fenster nachts etwas lauter.
Sie ist für einen Kurzurlaub zweckmässig ausgestattet. Für einen längeren Urlaub
wäre z.b. eine Couch die man in ein Bett umwandeln kann bequemer. Auch Stuhlkissen für den Balkon wären schön. Herr Oswald ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
Wenn man direkt im Zentrum wohnen möchte ideal.
The apartment is very comfortable , very clean and there are all things necessaries for the staying.It is very situated to ten minutes more or less from the center of the Friburg. the area where is the appartment is very calm .
Robert is very nice and he explained us some places to visit.
We recommend this apparment.
This is the perfect living. The Apartment holds everything you could possibly need, it is close to the City Center but lies in a quiet and nice neighbourhood. The owner is very freindly and accommodating.
We are very pleased and happy that this apartment was available and that we choosed to live here. We will Most certain come back next year.
We highly recommend this apartment!

Small, but very well decorated appartment. We had no complaints at all.

FREMONT -- A debate has emerged over the $650 million school bond measure on the June ballot, with district leaders saying it's necessary to modernize aging campuses and opponents calling it a financially risky move that won't address half of the district's many needs.
The informal group, led by Fremont resident Kathryn McDonald, says it wants to help the district fix its estimated $1.6 billion in campus needs but finds Measure E an inadequate solution. McDonald instead wants housing developers, not taxpayers, to pay more for the increased traffic and student enrollment their developments bring.
Developers are paying $5.27 per square foot this year, garnering about $2 million, said James Morris, Fremont's superintendent of schools. The developers' fund, primarily spent on portable classrooms, is a fraction of the district's $278 million budget for 2014-15.
The $650 million bond measure would be Alameda County's largest, and the interest over 38 years could raise its ultimate cost to about $1.75 billion.
If approved in June, Measure E would cost property owners an annual maximum of $59 per $100,000 of assessed value, pushing payments for it and an earlier bond to more than $89 per $100,000 annually.
Opponents worry the measure's financial projections are too rosy, as they count on Fremont home assessed values to grow by 4 percent yearly after 2015.
"What if those assumptions aren't right?" asked McDonald. "They might lock us into something we can't afford."
Morris said the district put the bond on the June 3 ballot because it can't afford to wait any longer. The bond money would be used to update Fremont's 42 aging campuses, renovating science and computer labs, upgrading plumbing and restrooms, repairing faulty wiring and dry-rotted roofs, and other work.
Crews also would remove the last traces of asbestos remaining from past renovations, Morris said. "When you open up walls to put in wiring in an old school, sometimes you'll find asbestos inside the walls," he said.
Also on the bond agenda: replacing deteriorating portable classrooms, some of which were intended as a five-year solution, but instead have been used for 20 years, Morris said.
A $39 million upgrade of the schools' technology infrastructure and equipment is one of the district's top goals. The tech upgrades include increasing bandwidth, adding electrical outlets and data cables, and creating wireless access points so that students can use computers at today's fast pace, Morris said.
"Five years from now, every textbook will be an electronic textbook," he said. "So while we might have the capacity now for 150 kids to be online at the same time, five years from now we'll need five times that capacity."
Those upgrades are long overdue for the district's 33,000 students, Morris said. "We're in the business of creating a quality education for our kids," he said. "Technology is such a big part of a 21st-century education."
But bond opponents say they would like Fremont Unified to create a Mello-Roos district -- an area where property owners agree to pay a special tax for schools and other community services -- to finance campus improvements. Creating such a taxing district requires a two-thirds approval of voters.
Another criticism in the group's flier -- "Ten Reasons Not to Vote for Measure E" -- is that the district is setting aside more than $200 million of the $650 million bond for inflation and cost overruns, McDonald said.
"If someone said they wanted to renovate your house but you'd have to pay a lot more than the price tag because they expect overruns would you do it?" she asked. "It's a completely insane idea."
However, district leaders say they set aside roughly the same portion of money -- around 30 percent -- for contingency spending for Measure B, a $157 million school health and safety bond voters approved in 2002. The oversight committee for that bond praised the district for spending the money well and completing renovations on time and on budget. Morris said the district is using the same approach with Measure E.
Setting aside that much money for inflation and overruns is not uncommon, said Bill Jakel, a retired auditor at East Side Union High School District in San Jose. "We usually set aside 10 percent, so it's higher than we did, but 30 percent seems reasonable if you're counting both inflation and cost overruns," said Jakel, a Board of Advisors member of the California League of Bond Oversight Committees. "With renovations, you can find surprises -- the old blueprints might be wrong, pipes are in wrong locations, you never know."
Another bond opponent, longtime Fremont resident Bill Spicer, said those taxes will hurt senior citizens living on fixed incomes. "To ask us to pay for more and better schools is not fair," he said, noting that he has been paying for school bonds since 1959. State law permits senior citizen exemptions for parcel taxes, school officials said, but not bond measures.
A district poll in January of likely Fremont voters found 60.6 percent would support a $650 million bond to renovate schools -- well above the 55 percent needed for approval.
McDonald said she sympathizes with the need to renovate old campuses, but said she believes a Mello-Roos district and making developers pay more would help more than Measure E.
"We really want what's best for the schools and the community," she said. "But we want to move forward in a way that makes more sense than this measure."

Pro Measure E
1. It will improve student learning by modernizing schools' Internet infrastructure and other technological upgrades.
2. It will make the district's 42 campuses safer by removing asbestos, replacing faulty electrical wiring, and other repairs for aging buildings.
3. Improving the district's campuses will boost Fremont's property values.

Con measure E
1. The bond is written to sound as if all bond funds will be spent on campus renovations, but more than $200 million is being set aside for inflation and overruns.
2. Measure E would extend payments on district bonds through 2051 but would leave more than half of the district's $1.6 billion of needs unaddressed, requiring more bonds to fix those problems.
3. The bond provides no senior citizen exemptions, hurting longtime homeowners living on a fixed income.

The times we live in are filled ironies. For instance, we enjoy countless labor-saving devices that our great-grandparents wouldn't have dreamed of. Yet somehow, we seem to have less time to spend with our families and enjoy life. Cell phones and email make it possible for us to communicate with virtually anyone in the world anytime we want. Yet many people have never had a conversation with their next-door neighbor.
Another irony of modern times is this: We face increasing pressure to be polite to each other. We're warned not to use phrases that might cause hurt feelings. It's called being PC, that is, politically-correct. Yet at the same time, society is becoming noticeably more rude and inconsiderate. Just read the comments sections of online newspapers and magazines, where people routinely post comments that insult one another for having a different opinion than they. So while we're becoming increasingly cautious about offending one another, yet at the same time, we seem to be increasingly inconsiderate and rude toward each other.
It's a shame. It's a shame that we treat each other so rudely, replacing thoughtful responses with epithets when we disagree. But it's also a shame that we are growing more and more afraid to speak about what we believe for fear of offending others.
Jesus certainly wasn't afraid of offending people. He boldly spoke the truth, even when he knew the truth would be rejected by those he was speaking to. Shortly after performing the miracle of the feeding of the 5,000, Jesus told the crowd that he had come to provide them with so much more than just full stomachs. He said that he was the bread of life from heaven. He told them that he had come to give his life for the world, and that by feeding on him by faith, they would live forever.
But that was offensive to many. They said, "This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?" These people wanted a Jesus who gave them bread to eat and soothing words to hear. They wanted a meal, not forgiveness. They wanted a motivational speaker, not a Savior.
Jesus recognized that what he had said didn't sit well with his audience. He responded, "Are you offended by what I say?" But he didn't back down. He didn't change his message or water down his words. He knew what the people wanted to hear, but he also understood what they needed to hear. And what they needed to hear was the good news of salvation through faith in him as their Savior.
Does fear of offending keep you from speaking the truth and sharing what you believe? Do you find yourself backing down from talking about your faith, lest you offend someone? If so, that's a shame. Don't be rude and disrespectful. We need not be "in your face" when it comes to talking about what we believe. St. Peter wrote, "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have." But he immediately followed that up by saying, "But do this with gentleness and respect." St. Paul said, "Speak the truth." But he qualified it by adding, "in love." Being open and honest about one's faith in Jesus and being polite and civil are not mutually exclusive.
Don't be rude and disrespectful of others. But don't let fear of offending others keep you from sharing your faith.

JAN 18, 2013 - Zero Hedge
A Must Read - Share
Submitted by Jim Quinn of The Burning Platform blog, I've put off writing an article about what is likely to happen in 2013 so I could peruse the thousands of other articles by reputable bloggers, paid pundits, Wall Street shills and captured charlatans to gather their wisdom. It's essential that I make predictions for 2013 so I can write another article in December rationalizing why 90% of my predictions failed to materialize. Reading all of these 2013 prediction articles made things much clearer for me. I now know for sure: The stock market will reach an all-time high. The stock market

Perfect Chariots for a New Bride and Groom
My brother got married over the weekend to the love of his life.
The outdoor wedding under mild afternoon sun was picture-perfect. There was an open bar, lots of dancing and, of course, nothing but smiles and laughter (thanks in part to the open bar).
As the night wore down, I was taken by surprise by a car that gracefully rolled up the long gravel driveway to the reception site… a 1933 Packard Eight instantly recognizable by the trademark headlights, side-mounted spare tires and winged hood ornament (not to be confused with the Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy).
The American luxury car of the Great Depression was the chariot of choice to escort the groom and his bride to their lavish downtown hotel; a better choice I could not have suggested myself.
But, should I have been asked which autos I might recommend to chauffeur a newly wedded couple from the reception to the beginning of marital bliss, I would have also included any of these fine automobiles:
Car Minded, Classic & Vintage Cars, Domestic Cars, Exotic Cars, Foreign Cars, General Chat

Donatella Versace Lauds Pope Francis in Milan
Pope Francis has electrified the world with his common touch, cheerfulness and inclusive message. Now, he can apparently count one more avid follower: Donatella Versace.
Few would associate Versace, known for its sex-bomb designs, and the Vatican. But Donatella Versace, the house's outré designer, cited none other than the 77-year-old Argentinean pontiff before presenting her men's collection Saturday.
Ms. Versace lauded the pontiff as she spoke about a collection dedicated to "a man free to choose what he wants."
The pope is "is revolutionary," she says to journalists. "He keeps his promises."
It isn't the first time Ms. Versace has cited ecclesiastical inspiration for her designs. In 2007, she dedicated a show to Monsignor Georg Gänswein, the personal secretary of Pope Benedict XVI whose movie-star looks goaded the Italian press into dubbing him "the George Clooney of the Vatican." For that show, Ms. Versace put jackets with clerical-style collars on the runway.
This year, before presenting her collection Saturday night, Ms. Versace climbed on a soapbox, saying that fashion can do its part in pushing for social rights. In particular, she cited gay rights, which are at the center of a political storm in Italy, where homosexuals enjoy very little legal recognition or protection against hate crimes. Ms. Versace's brother Gianni, the founder of the maison, was openly gay.
The fight for social rights isn't just a political battle, but also "a civil one and, as such, it can also be done through fashion."
"It was important to me that this man felt liberated and free. There is so much oppression in the world right now. I wanted to make a statement to show that fashion is about freedom and the choice to be whoever you want to be," Donatella said in a statement.
But it was hard to connect Ms. Versace's social commentary and praise of Pope Francis with the collection she turned out in the Versace mansion in Milan's fashion district Saturday night: it was full of chains, biker-themed pieces, gold jewelrey and half naked bottoms covered in bandana-style underwear. Nolan Funk, a young Canadian actor and singer from the hit TV series Glee, was Ms. Versace's celebrity guest.
Nary a clerical collar was in sight, either in the audience or on the runway.

October 25, 2005
She started a company from her home so she could be with her son. After six years and lots of hard work, business is booming. The story of this Aiken County woman is in the November issue of Parent's Magazine. News 12 is on your side with how one mom made working at home a success.
"If there's something you really think that you can do, just don't give up or talk yourself out of it," said Natalie Hayes.
It's an attitude that got Natalie Hayes' at home business from crawling to running. And the success of BabyGiftIdea.com is an example to other moms in this month's issue of Parents Magazine.
"I'm not corporate material. I'm not into the politics, so I get to escape that," Hayes said.
Natalie's Baby Gift website was born a year after her son, Saxon, in 1998. This single mom was working a corporate job and felt guilty when she had to stay home with her sick baby.
Because of successful gifts like the Diaper Cake, Nicole's business went from one product to more than 500. After two years she was able to quit her job and now she has three employees helping her out.
While employees fill 30 orders a day in the basement, Natalie goes back and forth between being boss, mom and teacher.
In the morning, she homeschools Saxon, who is now seven.
"I probably work more hours per week, but I'm able to really arrange it around anything that's going on," Hayes said.
Natalie admits, the job isn't easy.
"Disadvantages? It's all on you. All the problems are yours," Hayes said.
But, more time with her best baby gift is the ultimate company benefit.
Natalie is working on another website, WeddingGiftIdea.com.

SANTA CLARA -- As the 49ers bid farewell to safety Donte Whitner, they've apparently found his replacement in Antoine Bethea, who's played all his previous eight seasons with the Indianapolis Colts.
"Glad to be a Niner!! Going to the Bay!!!" Bethea posted on Twitter.
Bethea, 29, totaled 14 interceptions in 123 career starts for the Colts. Like Whitner, he is a product of the 2006 draft, although he was a sixth-round pick out of Howard whereas Whitner went No. 6 overall out of Ohio State (to the Buffalo Bills).
ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported that Bethea had agreed to a deal with the 49ers, sharing that news some 10 minutes after free agency began Tuesday. Bethea's agent, Adisa Bakari, declined comment when reached by phone. The Sacramento Bee reported that Bethea agreed on a four-year deal.
The 49ers did not immediately announce anything regarding Bethea -- or Phil Dawson's re-signing -- but they did state that cornerback Carlos Rogers has been released, as anticipated Monday.
Unlike Whitner, Bethea rarely has drawn penalties, and he wasn't called for any last season. Bethea has been penalized 13 times in eight seasons, and only three of those infractions were for unnecessary roughnes. Whitner got flagged a team-high five unnecessary-roughness last season, including in the NFC Championship game loss to the Seahawks.
Whitner reportedly signed a four-year, $28 million deal with his hometown Browns, according to ESPN and NFL Media reports.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi cross country and track and field teams have signed two more student-athletes to National Letters of Intent and one to scholarship, Director of Cross Country and Track and Field Shawn Flanagan announced today. Abel Koskey (Eldoret, Kenya/UTEP), Alexandra Fernandez (Corpus Christi/Carroll HS) and Kim Ward (Corpus Christi/Moody HS) will join the 2012 fall recruiting class.
"Abel comes with great credentials," Flanagan said. "He ran a 3:48.75 in the 1500 and sub 25 in the 8k while at UTEP. He should be able to contribute immediately. Alex made huge improvements and if she continues this trend, she will be able to also help immediately. Kim has some good potential. We just need to actualize it a little bit more."
Koskey is a transfer from UTEP and has signed a scholarship to join the Islanders cross country and track and field teams. Koskey will be a sophomore and joins Kimeli as a native of Eldoret, Kenya. Last season, he ran a personal-best 31:58.00 in the 10k at the Mountain Region Cross Country Championships to place in the top 50. At the Conference USA Championships, he placed 14th with a personal record of 24.36.60 in the 8k. In May of 2011, Koskey recorded personal-best records in the 1500m and 5000m at the Conference USA Championships. He placed sixth in the 1500m with a time of 3:48.75 and crossed the line in 11th place in the 5000m with a time of 14.49.83.
Fernandez comes to the Island University after running cross country and track and field at Carroll High School. During the 2012 track and field season, Fernandez claimed two first-place finishes and one third-place finish. At the District 28-5A Meet she won the 800m and the 1600m. She followed it by placing third in the 1600m at the Region 4-5A Meet. In 2010, she clocked a personal-best time of 12:32.90 in the two mile at the Region IV Championships.
Fernandez will team up with current Islanders, Jacob Abrego, Justin Adame, Shannon Girdy and Cecilia Gonzalez from Carroll High School.
Ward has spent the past four years at Moody High School where she earned Second Team All-State honors. In 2008, Ward set a personal-best time of 11:53.90 in the two mile at the University Interscholastic League (UIL) State Cross Country Championships to place 14th.
The three will join Regina Salinas (Corpus Christi/Incarnate Word), Samantha Hardin (Denison/ Montgomery) and Joel Gracia (La Joya/Juarez Lincoln), who signed with the Islanders in February for the Fall 2012 season.

I'm not impressed with the iOS versions of MyTexts, however, which I tested on both my iPad and my iPhone. At this point are still very much work in progress: all they offer is the possibility of creating texts in your dedicated MyTexts Dropbox sandbox folder, as well as opening and editing existing ones. You canât export in another format at all. In fact, the whole MyTexts ecosystem will only work well, for this reason, for someone who is content with storing their texts in a format that no other application can use, exporting them only from their Mac desktop. At this point, this simply doesnât make sense for my needs.
I've been a user of WriteRoom for several years now, but sad to see the file management aspects of WriteRoom killed in v2.0 and then development completely stagnated.

Tom Savage passed for 243 yards and two scores to Devin Street as the Panthers (5-4) took advantage of some sloppy play by the Fighting Irish (7-3) to end Notre Dame's four-game winning streak.

I'm talking about bulb-planting time! I love bulbs with a passion, not least because so many are deer-resistant, and they're one of the few things I can plant with abandon (with some caveats) in my garden. See full article.

I do not think Keldeo will be in the movie though, too early for that.

My FC 0705-6747-8925
how is it "too early" for Keledo.
They always stagger the event releases on a year by year basis when possible (Jirachi in 03, Deoxys in 04; Manaphy in 06, Darkrai in 07, Shaymin in 08, Arceus in 09).
Considering they have two more event pokemon for the last film, I don't see why Keledo wouldn't be in this one.
Too early?
If it weren't for Victini, we'd have it being revealed in this years movie!
hmm i was hoping for melloeta but keldeo will do. i am guessing kyurem will make an appearence and maybe the rest of the muskateers will have some role in the film. (it would silly if they didnt appear but keldeo did).

After 12 years of being a Pokemon fan, I'm officially quitting the fandom. This is not a rage quit and it has nothing to do with the Pokemon franchise. It's also NOT a sudden decision - I've planned it for months but I decided to stay a true, active Pokemon fan until the very last day. The reason for my leave is the fact that I'm starting my studies at the Uni and I decided that it's a perfect moment to move on with my life. I'll never forget all these awesome years and Pokemon will always be a part of my childhood memories. Goodbye friends! Thank you.
And if I'm ever back, I'm never back for good.
Wait, too early for Keldeo?
Shaymin was the second to last Pokemon in the Sinnoh Pokedex, yet it appeared in the second DP movie with Giratina and Regigigas.. so why would the second BW movie be too early for Keldeo?
OR Playthrough - Currently In Training
I don't really have the time or patience to focus on nature's and IV'S, I just play with what I'm handed..
secret hope: Meloetta shows up in this, too.
Mostly because during the first release blitz I thought that she was also based on the Musketeer story and also because I think the idea of her riding Keledo is cute :3
Bet you guys anything Keldeo's gonna show up. Does anybody think we should make this thread a sticky for now?
I hope this is the film, I'm exited to see whats going to happen in movie 15. The wait it driving me crazyXD
A close family member of mine died today, I put this in my sign as respect for him
Ash fan. Luffy fan. Gintoki fan-Gintama. Endou fan-Inazuma Eleven.
Multi Luffy {One Piece} and Ash {Pokemon} Shippers.
Wow this sounds brilliant.
I can see Keldeo being introduced, maybe raised and looked after by the Musketeer Trio, and possibly Kyurem appearing as the understanding beast much like Rayquaza and Giratina did.
I think Kyurem could have a much better role though imo I don't know what for, and since we've already had Reshiram and Zekrom I have my doubts, I just felt like Rayquaza's role was very cheap, Emerald gave it so much potential only for it to have that role in Movie 7.
Either way, if we did have the Musketeers, Keldeo and Kyurem it would be a very interesting movie.
Twitter: @HaunterXY
I can see the Muskateers attacking cities or urban places since they do not get along with humans and Keldeo will find that what they're doing is wrong. As they continue attacking Kyurem will be woken up after a long sleep and will attack them.
Yes that is a Female Dino Charge Red. It's a FanFic thing

i cant see keldeo in it because it isn't even officially revealed.
OR Playthrough - Currently In Training
I don't really have the time or patience to focus on nature's and IV'S, I just play with what I'm handed..
I think we all expected the Musketeer Pokemon to appear in the next movie. Personally, I think they should've appeared in the 14th movie, but we got Victini, Reshiram, and Zekrom instead *shudders*. I really don't like Keldeo, but maybe my opinion of it will change once I've seen it in the movie. I hope that Meloetta also appears in this movie, but I'm not counting on it happening since "secret" Legendary Pokemon usually get movies to themselves.
Yeah the Muskedeers are pretty much a given, I'm expecting both Keldeo and Kyurem to appear in this movie as well. We should be getting at least a teaser trailer sometime soon since we usually get them around this time.
Any thoughts on where the setting might be this time?
I'm hoping for Britain, Scotland or Ireland. Given that it seems to primarily be the Musketeer quarter, Britain will probably be it.

As many are aware, the Keystone Science School (KSS) has an opportunity to become a freestanding 501(c) 3 organization if it is able to raise significant funds in the upcoming weeks.
We have been owners in Summit County since 1988, and became involved with the Keystone Science School in 2001 when we sent our nephew to camp. His reaction was so positive that we wanted to learn more about KSS. In the intervening years, we have become passionate supporters of KSS because we believe strongly in the KSS mission: raising awareness of environmental and scientific issues at a young age, and building critical thinking and leadership skills in young people. We have especially enjoyed supporting the campership program; the meaningful letters of appreciation from campers who have received financial assistance reinforce our belief in the school's mission. Some quotes:
"This has been one of the best experiences of my life; I have had so much fun and learned so much."
"The best part of all I went out of my comfort zone, faced fears, and made some really good friends."
"The hikes were amazing, especially the challenge hike."
"I had never gone backpacking before and it definitely changed my views on nature and hiking ... Even through the challenges I had a really great time."
"(The hike) was very challenging but I'm glad I did it, because ... I feel so accomplished and grateful that I had such an amazing opportunity."
KSS is a fantastic asset for our community, Colorado, and the whole country. We want the positive, meaningful impact it has on young people to continue. We urge everyone to make a donation or pledge, of any size, to be sure this happens. Go to www.keystonescienceschool.org or email email@example.com.

DOT Boosts High-Speed Rail Projects with $2.4 Billion
DOT has announced the latest round of support for U.S. high-speed rail. California has received more than $901 million.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) on October 28 named the 54 high-speed rail projects in 23 states selected for the second round of funding for high-speed intercity passenger rail service. The projects will receive $2.4 billion to continue developing the first nationwide program. DOT's Federal Railroad Administration received 132 applications from 32 states totaling $8.8 billion, more than three times the $2.4 billion available for this funding cycle. During the first round of awards in the fall of 2009, applicants submitted more than $55 billion in project proposals for the initial $8 billion from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The Recovery Act money is being awarded for a range of activities, such as constructing track and stations, purchasing new passenger equipment, and completing planning studies to develop new high-speed rail service. California received more than $901 million, including $715 million for the construction of new high-speed rail lines in the Central Valley. And, Florida received $800 million for the Tampa to Orlando high-speed rail corridor, part of a planned line linking Tampa, Orlando, Miami, and other communities. More than 30 rail manufacturers and suppliers, both domestic and foreign, have agreed to establish or expand their bases of operations in the United States if they are hired to build the next generation high-speed lines. See the DOT press release and DOT's full list of award selections.

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are administered to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions. There are no screening tests for PAD itself, however, your doctor will screen for risk factors that contribute to vascular disease by doing the following at regular checkups:
If you are at high risk for PAD, your doctor may want further evaluation such as:

Knitter's Review
May 8, 2008
My shawl has a police record.
Five minutes before the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival opened last weekend, someone stepped into the Brooks Farm Yarn booth and slipped the Optic Waves Shawl from my book off its hanger and into her bag.
That theft kicked off a series of additional break-ins, thefts, and acts of vandalism that kept the Howard County Sheriff's Department busy all weekend—and that left a lot of knitters wondering what was happening to our once-sacred little community.
But the sheep were plentiful, the lines long, and the vendors well-stocked, so join me for a look inside this year's Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival.

In my geek career, I have been many things: DBA, programmer, help-desk, engineer, systems administrator. I have worked with VMS, MS-DOS, various flavors of UNIX, MS-Windows of all sorts, OS/2, and MPE/iX. I have had a wide and various and satisfying career.
I can tell you without reservation, systems administration was the hardest and most demanding of all those jobs.
A systems administrator is generally all things to all people. In most cases, they are tech support. They are help desk. They are testers, and troubleshooters, and programmers. Good ones are also systems engineers, and the best are relied on by upper management to make IT decisions. Some of the worst are also relied on by upper management, but that usually ends in disaster, blame, tears, and recrimination.
There are very few books geared towards the systems administrator. Oh, sure, there's a plethora of titles such as, "Administering Active Directory", or "Managing Windows Networks". In the end, these are usually books dedicated to a single program or technology.
Fortunately, there's "Linux Administration Handbook", by Evi Nemeth, Garth Snyder, Trent R. Hein, and a host of other contributors.
"Evi, Garth, and Trent taught me everything I know about GNU/Linux systems administration."—Elvis
The contents
This is a hefty book, at 1000 pages exactly, not counting the "About the Authors" page or the roman-numeraled and extensive Contents section, but including the index. It's heavy. This is a book not to be set aside lightly, as that's physically impossible. It's weight makes it practical for pressing two pieces of glued wood, or for chucking at ill-behaved dogs, such as my boykin spaniel Elvis.
If I were to choose one word to describe this book, other than "heavy", I would choose "extensive". This is a book that does not ignore history, but provides names, dates, and circumstances surrounding the otherwise-anonymous software we all know and love. Starting with a brief (very brief) history of GNU/Linux, the authors discuss sources of other information. The describe how to use
man, and where to go for help in those rare times when
man fails you. They describe how to do basic system administration tasks, such as managing user accounts, and managing hardware, and installing and upgrading software on production systems, and monitoring systems and security.
That's just in the first chapter.
Then comes the fun stuff. Complete, in-depth descriptions of the boot-up and shut-down process. Discussions of various file systems, and how to use them properly. Installing new hardware. There's an entire chapter dedicated to adding a disk. Another chapter provides a zoology of daemons. There are chapters on system performance, security, backup, the X Window system, serial devices...
If the subject falls under the realm of systems administration, there are probably at least a few pages dedicated to it in this book.
The book is very well laid out, considering the breadth of topics covered. There are thirty chapters, each with a distinct focus, grouped into three sections: Basic Administration, Networking, and Bunch O' Stuff. Bunch O' Stuff is just that. It even ends with a non-geek chapter: Management, Policy, and Politics, which discusses the business end of systems administration. This chapter is strangely compelling, covering topics such as disaster recovery, legal issues, and how the systems administrator fits into a typical organization.
This is not a comprehensive book, by any means. Although many alternatives are presented, some receive more attention than others. For instance, in the chapter covering email, the authors discuss Sendmail at length, and even spend eighteen pages on Postfix. Exim, however, is covered in only two pages. This is partly due to Exim's comprehensive and clear on-line documentation, to which the authors refer the interested reader. But, this is a common theme. So don't be disappointed if your favorite web server is hardly mentioned.
Who's this book for?
This book is for every GNU/Linux systems administrator. If your day-to-day work requires the administration of one or more GNU/Linux systems, I highly recommend this book. I have been administering GNU/Linux systems since 1994, and I learned a few things from this book. Most seasoned administrators will probably find the book a fun, nostalgic read, rather than a great learning tool. But, for budding administrators, or even mid-level administrators, this book is rich in detail, well-written, and an almost-endless source of information.
If you are a budding geek with a desire to learn all about GNU/Linux, I recommend "Linux Administration Handbook" with reservations. The focus of the book is definitely systems administration. However, there's more than enough information for someone who merely wants to learn more about their GNU/Linux computer, and the writing style is conversational and fun to read.
Relevance to free software
Refreshingly, the authors focus exclusively on free software. When relevant, commercial products are mentioned, but no real space is devoted to their use. This is in keeping with the philosophy of the book, which focuses on the tools most likely to be available to all systems administrators.
This is the descendant and heir apparent of the venerable "Unix Administrators Handbook". For those who remember the original, this latest edition maintains the high quality writing and in-depth coverage of systems administration in a GNU/Linux environment. The authors take great pains to present an unbiased, clear, and often droll overview of GNU/Linux systems administration.
I was often surprised by their very practical advice. For instance, while discussing Kerberos, they say, "In our opinion, most sites are better off without it", and suggest a regimen of "good systems hygiene" and secure shell.
All-in-all, their down-to-earth suggestions and detailed coverage of the most salient administration tasks make this an excellent book.
While this book is extensive, it is not comprehensive. Although it provides an excellent overview, this book will not make you a Sendmail expert, or a network administration expert. The discussions of a particular subject will give a good foundation for further investigation, but they will not solve all your administration problems.
Also, the cover is ugly. It is redeemed by being absurd.

Nice review
Thanks for the great review Anthony. I was curious about this book. It has a neat cover that's for sure. I'm definitely a "budding geek", with a desire to learn Linux. I know how to do a few things, however a lot of books are definitely for the more advanced. It sounds like this book would be a good book for the next stage, after the "beginning" stuff.
let's all play nice!
This sounds like an excellent book for you. The original Unix Administration Handbook was invaluable to me. I learned a lot about Unix (and GNU/Linux, indirectly) from that book. The Linux Administration Handbook is, I think, even better. It makes fewer assumptions about your knowledge than the original book did, per my recollection.
Good luck with your continuing geek education. It's a long, tough, rewarding road.
Okay, great! Thanks very much for your reply.
let's all play nice!
Linux Administration Handbook
I would have to agree wholeheartedly with this review. I installed Linux (Turbo Linux 4 I think) first in 1998, but without documentation I didn't know how to get my 56k modem up and running and didn't return till a few years later. Lack of documentation is always a problem with some aspects of Linux, in my newbie days on Mandrake 8.2 and through the early Fedora releases I always wanted a definitive reference to help me out and explain the hows and the whys. After getting this book, I can say it is a good answer to many of these things, although focused on administrators this book will help the advanced user as the goal of both is to get the most out of their system. However, as Anthony points out, while it's huge but it doesn't cover everything you might want. After reading most of the book I thought they needed to remove the politics chapter (~65 pages) and slim down a few of the others and replace them with a good guide on the ins and outs of Bash. The authors defend their position saying this is background knowledge and that you should learn to read and modify perl and bash scripts and that for new projects you should learn perl or python more fully. Fair enough, but I think the base of those skills belong in this book, more so that some of the other content anyway. I think making those changes would make the book still just as useful for system administrators, while also bring power users into the fold more fully.
All that said, the book still hits the nail on the head for administration, even if a power user might feel some of the material doesn't apply it still has a vast amount of detail in those that do. I only have O'Reilly's "Linux System Administration" to compare it with. While the O'Reilly includes a section on Bash which I think is appropriate I would still recommend Linux Administration Handbook because of the detailed coverage of other areas even though the O'Reilly is around $5 cheaper. While the O'Reilly is has a better sense of what the market might want, this book totally dominates the rest of the subject matter with 1040 pages (good quality smooth-to-touch recycled paper) at only a slightly higher price than O'Reilly's 291 pages (good quality grain-to-touch thicker paper not recycled). With so few pages in the O'Reilly you can get to the how, but not to the why (+ a smidgen of history) which this book does with its lucid style. Thumbs up from me.
