For years, award-winning author Sue Monk Kidd was a conventionally religious woman. Then, in the late 1980s, Kidd began to question her role as a woman in her culture, her family, and her religion, and she embarked on an unexpected journey toward a feminist spiritual awakening.
With the exceptional storytelling skills that have helped make her name, the acclaimed author tells her very personal story of the fear, anger, healing, and freedom she experienced on the path toward the wholeness that women have lost within patriarchal faith traditions. From a jarring encounter with sexism in a suburban drugstore, to monastery retreats and rituals in the caves of Crete, Kidd takes readers through her tumultuous transformation and reveals a new level of feminine spiritual consciousness.

photo by John Balcer (during one of our photo walks)
Lately I've been spending some time teaching my husband how to use an SLR camera. He's got a very cool project coming up where his job will be to photograph an amazing experience (more on that later). The last couple of months have been a crash course in aperture, shutter speed, focusing, composition, lenses, AV mode versus TV mode, exposure and depth of field. I would never consider myself to be a photography expert or worthy of teaching someone else how to use a camera. But, I have noticed that the process of teaching him Photography 101 is a great refresher for me. The mere act of describing how to use a certain setting, or set up a good composition reminds me of the basics. In addition, it forced me to dig a little deeper when John asked me questions I couldn't answer. And the fact that my husband was my student took all the pressure off. I didn't feel like I needed to know ALL the answers and technical terms. I just explain things in simple terms as I understand them and then set him free to practice. We went on numerous photo walks, each with our own cameras. It was also fun to compare the photos later and see how we each interpreted the same subjects.

Abortion Foes Mark Gains by Targeting Clinics, Abortion Providers
Anti-abortion activists have made significant strides in recent years by targeting not abortions per se, but the clinics that provide them.
In the last two years, several states, among them Kansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Michigan, have passed bills adding layers of regulations to clinics. Some mandate that clinics maintain certain staffing levels or install equipment such as ventilation systems that are typically used in hospitals.
Lawmakers in Indiana and South Carolina have already this year put forth bills adding regulations to clinics.
Advocates argue such laws protect the health and safety of women undergoing delicate and invasive medical procedures.
"The governor believes these common-sense regulations will help ensure that this procedure takes place in facilities that are modern, safe and well-regulated, in order to help ensure the safety and well-being of all patients," said a spokeswoman for Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, after he approved new regulations to hold abortion clinics to the same building standards as hospitals.
But opponents say the true aim is to increase costs for abortion providers, often to unsustainable levels. "The real impact so often falls on women who are poor and live in rural areas," said Julie Rikelman, the litigation director at the Center for Reproductive Rights in New York. "It's becoming extremely hard for women in those demographics to get abortion services given the new heaps of restrictions."
And some supporters of such laws will concede that part of the goal is to make abortions more difficult to obtain. "Obviously I'm a pro-life governor," said Gov. McDonnell earlier this month. "I believe that we ought to do everything that we can to promote the sanctity of human life."
Clinics are feeling the pinch. According to Operation Rescue, a pro-life activist organization, the number of abortion clinics nationwide fell from 2,200 in 1991 to 678 by Sept. 2011. More have shuttered since then, and activists on both sides of the issue think such laws could cause more closures in the near future.
In recent weeks, the situation in Mississippi has garnered a lot of attention.
The state health department last week conducted an unannounced inspection of Mississippi's only abortion clinic to see if it's complying with requirements imposed by a 2012 state law. The results haven't yet been announced, but failure to comply with the law, which requires all abortion clinics to have admitting privileges at a local hospital for all of its doctors, could lead to the clinic shutting down.
The Mississippi law is meant to protect abortion patients in case something goes wrong with the procedure, said State Rep. Sam Mims, the law's author and Republican chairman of the state House's public Health and Human Services Committee, shortly before the law took effect last summer.
The "intent is to make sure that women who are receiving these abortions are receiving abortions by a professional physician who is certified," said Rep. Mims. "If something goes wrong, which it might . . . that physician could follow the patient to a local hospital. That's the intent."
The clinic, the Jackson Women's Health Organization, is having a hard time complying with the new regulations. In a request for an injunction filed in U.S. District Court in Jackson recently, the clinic said eight major hospitals in the state have rejected its request to grant privileges to two of its three obstetrics and gynecology doctors.
"We've done everything we can to comply with the law, and we will not be able to do so," said Diane Derzis, the clinic's owner, to the WSJ last month. "They have effectively banned abortion in the state of Mississippi."

Jesus Did It!
By: Kathy Rienstra
I want to testify of God's faithfulness in answer to prayer. The first testimony gives a very quick answer to prayer. The second testimony took years to manifest.
On Wednesday, May 30, 2007, the girls and I had left Kyra's guitar teacher's home. We were stopped at a traffic light waiting for the light to turn green. After the light turned green I proceeded to accelerate. I noticed in my peripheral vision to the left of my van, a car speeding through the red light. I quickly slammed on the brakes, but not quick enough. the car clipped my front bumper. Praise God, no one was hurt!
We followed the car into a driveway. After seeing if the girls were okay, I got out of the car. The teenage boy who was driving the car that hit us was getting out of his car too. I asked, "Do you know what happened?" He answered, "What?" I said, "You just ran a red light." He said, "No I didn't, my light was green." I said, "No, your light was red, because my light was green." He denied that he had run a red light. At that point I decided it would be best not to talk to him any further. I didn't want him (or the two girls in his car) to twist anything I might say from that point on. I said to God that if He doesn't send a witness, it's going to be this driver's word against mine. I asked God to please send a witness.
Praise God! He sent two witnesses to verify my story! One of the witnesses was the man in the car behind me. He said, "I saw the light turn green and you started to go through, then I wondered why you hit your brakes." At that point, I knew God had protected by back end from getting smashed. Many times in my morning prayers I will thank the Lord for being my rear guard (See: Isaiah 52:12). Isn't He faithful!!
Whenever my husband, Steve, and I have an attack on our finances, we claim Malachi 3:11. God promises in His Word that He will rebuke the devourer for the tither. Since we are tithers, we believe that we qualify for that promises and we claim it. Time after time, we have seen God take situations that looked real bad at first, and turn them around for us. I claimed this promise while we were waiting for the police to arrive. When the insurance company called the next day they informed me that they were going to waive our deductible. Thank You Jesus!
The second testimony involves my sister, Karen. She is my only sister, and the only sibling that I grew up with (I have a much older half-brother). Karen and I were very close, until about the time that I had Kyra, and really got on fire for Jesus. We have always kept in touch, but things were just not the same. She didn't have any interest in talking about God and really the only thing that I want to talk about is Him and how He protects me, teaches me, provides for me, etc.
On Mother's Day, 2007, she called me. During the course of our conversations she asked me if I had any Joyce Meyer books. I said that I wasn't sure. I knew I had some Joyce Meyer tapes. She was looking for a particular book about prayer. Then she asked me if I watched Creflo Dollar. I said that I used to watch him, but now I find that I can read so much more in the time it takes to watch a TV program. I had no idea that my sister even knew who Joyce and Creflo were. Karen is a very busy woman. She is a schoolteacher and she owns a retail store. There are many demands on her time.
The next thing she asked me was if I knew of a good Bible that I would recommend. I told her that I could show her the one that I use most often and she could see if she likes it. Then she asked me if I have any devotion books. I said, "Yes, I have lots of devotion books." She knew that I would be coming over to see her Memorial Day weekend and asked if I could bring her one.
Then I asked, "Karen, what is all this about? Why the sudden change in heart?" She said that she just wanted to start reading the Bible. I started crying and said, "I have been praying for you for so long." She replied, "I know you have."
She told me that there was a woman who had been coming in her store testifying about all the things that God was doing in her life. I told her that Christianity isn't a religion. It's a relationship with God. She said, "I know, people are always saying, 'The Lord told me this or the Lord told me that.'" I said, "Yes, He will talk to you in a still small voice."
Karen said that she wanted to start going to church. I said, "Find a church that believes that God still performs miracles and still heals. Don't go to a church that thinks that after the book of Acts, God stopped performing miracles. Go to a Spirit-filled church." She said, "I know, a woman that works at my stores goes to a church like yours and she has invited me to come to her church. I'm gonna' go there sometime." Praise the Lord!
My prayer to God has been, "Lord, I don't need to be the one who leads my family to You. You can use anyone that You want to. I just ask You to keep sending people into my family's lives to testify of the miracles that You are performing in their lives." And that's exactly what He did! All the glory to God!

In 1951 Dr. George H. Widener opened a practice of ophthalmology in Paducah. In 1954 the practice relocated to 1903 Broadway, the present day location of the continuation of his practice, The Ophthalmology Group.
After 18 years of going it virtually alone, Dr. Widener invited Dr. Jeff Johnson to join him as his partner. Drs. Widener and Johnson performed the first phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implant surgeries for cataracts in Paducah in the mid 1970s.
Dr. Ted Borodofsky joined the practice in 1977 after completing a fellowship in cornea and cataract implant surgery in Houston, Texas. He further promulgated modern-day eye care for the community and this trend is now an established tradition of the Ophthalmology Group.
In 1978, Dr. Widener passed away and Dr. Roland Myers (now retired) was added to the team of physicians. The medical culture of Paducah and the surrounding region began to expand in more and more dramatic ways. Consequently, Dr. Mark Gillespie, Dr. Carl Baker, Dr. Jeff Taylor, and Dr. Ron Tilford joined the medical team to provide complete ophthalmic care for patients in a broad geographic area.
Drs. Baker and Tilford are both Paducah natives and graduates of Heath High School. Both physicians have brought greater expertise and technology for retinal care to our region and are also involved with clinical trials focusing on macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease.
Certified Ophthalmic Technician and Office Administrator, Joy Woodford, speaks to the reasons that not only does The Ophthalmology Group count many loyal patients for decades, but loyal staff members as well. Joy joined the practice in 1969, the same year that Dr. Johnson joined the group. "At that point, we had two physicians and six people on staff. We have now grown to six doctors and 40 employees, many of whom have been with the practice for more than 25 years." That includes two veteran staff members: retired bookkeeper Betty Lawrence with 43 years at the practice, and Linda Meadows, an ophthalmic technician of 42 years, who still fills in from time to time. The building, too, has grown. The Ophthalmology Group location now encompasses 15,000 square feet.
In July 1990, the group opened the area's first dedicated Eye Surgery Center offering procedures such as cataract surgery, corneal transplants, glaucoma and retinal procedures, Lasik vision correction, and eyelid surgery. Also on Broadway is the Ophthalmology Group's Keene Optical, a retail outlet for prescription and non-prescription eyewear. With the addition of the Paducah Retinal Center, the Ophthalmology Group of Paducah provides a broad range of medical and surgical care for eye disease. "My experience here has shown me time and again," says Joy, "that these are a group of physicians who ultimately want only the best possible results for their patients." The physicians have consistently made investments in specialized diagnostic equipment and trained personnel.
Dr.Ted Borodofsky (now retired) adds to that sentiment. "There are many aspects to our field of work," he adds. "We treat the many various eye diseases that affect the vision of our patients. We want to build confidence and trust with every patient, because preserving and improving our patients' vision is a lifelong mission for each of us as ophthalmic physicians and surgeons."

The Philosopher of Online Privacy
Alexis Madrigal reports on a talk, at Stanford, by the New York University philosopher Helen Nissenbaum, whose work helped to shape a recent Federal Trade Commission report on "Protecting Consumer Privacy in an Era of Rapid Change."
From the post, I don't entirely grasp the distinctiveness of Nissenbaum's thinking (which may well be my fault). Here's Madrigal's shot at a summary:
Given the intellectual influence she's had, it's important to understand how what she's saying is different from other privacy theorists. The standard explanation for privacy freakouts is that people get upset because they've "lost control" of data about themselves or there is simply too much data available. Nissenbaum argues that the real problem "is the inapproproriateness of the flow of information due to the mediation of technology." In her scheme, there are senders and receivers of messages, who communicate different types of information with very specific expectations of how it will be used. Privacy violations occur not when too much data accumulates or people can't direct it, but when one of the receivers or transmission principles change. The key academic term is "context-relative informational norms." Bust a norm and people get upset.
He goes on to offer some illustrative examples, so I should just point you to his post and suggest you read the whole thing. But my interest is whet to read Nissenbaum's 2010 book "Privacy in Context" and/or other writings, such as the paper "A Contextual Approach to Privacy Online." (The FTC report, Madrigral reports, in a somewhat loose measure of Nissenbaum's influence, "uses the word context an astounding 85 times!")

Mentors and Mentees Pair-up for the Fall 2012 SMARTS Program
When the call went out for mentors almost two years ago, the Southwest family rallied to support SMARTS (Southwest Mentors Advancing Retention, Teamwork, and Success), and has continued to strongly back the program ever since. SMARTS matches students with faculty/staff mentors who work in departments closely related to the students' interests. Mentors provide career advice and guidance to students in developing and formulating attainable academic and career goals. The Fall 2012 SMARTS Mentor Orientation was held on September 21 at the Macon Cove Campus.
The Office of Retention and Graduation, under which the SMARTS Program is governed, disseminated mentor toolkits and its executive director, Dr. Cynthia Calhoun, presented an overview of the program's criteria along with mentors' responsibilities.
Launched in the spring of 2011, SMARTS partners faculty/staff mentors with student mentees to form support teams whose goal is to increase access to college-level education, academic program completion, and student involvement with faculty, staff and peers. Throughout the semester mentors and mentees interact, engaging students in the development of social relationships and connecting them to college programs and activities.
Clearly, SMARTS provides huge dividends for mentees. However, faculty/staff mentors find it equally satisfying. Eighty-six percent of the Fall 2012 mentors are returning for a second or third semester. The payoff is remarkable − many of them see it as a way to make a difference in students' lives and support the college's "Student Persistence" endeavor.
"Serving as a SMARTS's mentor has brought real joy to my life. Under the leadership of Dr. Cynthia Calhoun the program has been very beneficial to the mentees. As a mentor, I have been able to direct my mentees to other programs on campus, to establish high rapport, to teach time management, and to be there for any need that arises in the semester. I encourage faculty and staff to be a part of this great endeavor," said Assistant Professor of Languages and Literature Patricia Ward.
Executive Director of Information Technology Services Michael Boyd expressed his sentiments saying, "The SMARTS program is a great opportunity to build a partnership between the mentor and mentee. I have been a mentor since SMARTS began and I have enjoyed seeing the students succeed in their classes and in life." He added, "The students have someone to help them, as well as hold them accountable. Just this past semester, I was able to help my mentee, who had reached the maximum hours for her financial aid, get a scholarship so that she could stay in school and graduate. If we had not built our relationship via SMARTS, she might not have called me and let me know of her dilemma. I encourage everyone to get involved in SMARTS. The relationships could last a lifetime."
For more information on how you can become a mentor, contact the Office of Retention and Graduation at either 901-333-4265 (Macon Cove Campus) or 901-333-5950 (Union Avenue Campus).

"I'm wheezing, I'm coughing, at night you can hear gurgling in my chest," said Alfredo Solis, Asthma Sufferer.
After a battery of tests:
"Everything came back negative."
Then, he took a deep breathe and exhaled into a device just like this.
It's an exhaled nitric oxide test. Unlike this spirometer which tests the amount of air coming out of your lungs and how fast it comes out to diagnose asthma, this machine measures the nitric oxide in your breath.
The chemical is naturally produced in our bodies. Cleveland Clinic Pulmonary Doctor Sumita Kharti says n-o levels can go up as lung inflammation increases.
"It becomes sort of direct evidence that your airways inflamed."
She says the n-o test helps her diagnose tough asthma cases the spirometer can't detect.
"I use it in patients with severe asthma where I feel like, well, is it severe because they're not taking their medication," said Sumita B Khatri, M.D., M.S., Co-director Asthma Center Respiratory Institute Cleveland Clinic.
The device gives results in 90 seconds. Below 50 parts per billion is the normal range. Above 50, asthma's likely. Alfredo's results?
"The number came back at 129."
He was finally diagnosed with asthma; his symptoms cleared up with this.
"I feel like a million bucks. I'm running around, I'm playing baseball, I'm doing my yardwork."

Bucharest, Lascar Catargiu Boulevard
You can admire in this median snapshot the Lascar Catargiu boulevard, a part
of the vital N-S segment. It's extremely important not to miss a promenade
on this particular street, as well as the Dacia boulevard because due to the
fact that most of the houses on these two streets were occupied by the
various foreign countries' embassies, the destruction has only been very
limited and most of the buildings are at least in a good shape, but, more
importantly, the whole of the boulevards' power to impress is not diminished
by any Communist concrete atrocity.

Stone/The Bruery/Elysian Collaboration - La Citrueille Celeste de Citracado
The three-way collaboration brews I have sampled in the past where Stone Brewing was a participant have all been INCREDIBLE (Stone/Dogfish Head/Victory Saison du BUFF trilogy and Stone/Pizza Port/Green Flash Highway 78 Scotch Ale), and I expect nothing less from this crazily-named beer!
As a bit of a brief back story, the name of this beer translates as, "The Heavenly Pumpkin of Citracado." Yeah, you got that right...another pumpkin beer released this late in the season/early in the year?! Well, little known to me, Elysian Brewing in Seattle is somewhat famous for their use of pumpkin or gourds of sorts in their beers. Pair that with the out-of-bounds thinking of The Bruery and Stone and their use of unique ingredients
It seems they pulled out all the stops with the shopping list for this brew: pumpkin, yams, toasted fenugreek, lemon verbena and birch bark. I don't even know what half of that stuff is!
Stone/The Bruery/Elysian Brewing Collaboration - La CitrueilleCeleste de Citracado is a 5% ABV, chocolate-brown ale that turns to mahogany with light through it. The beer pours to a one-finger head of tan, rocky lace, and smells of birch and molasses. The brew's label states, "Drink Fresh, Do Not Age", and I am somewhat happy to read that the big story on the back of the bottle written by Dick Bantwell from Elysian is dated Sept. 2011 (I know that is still 5 months, but it takes a while for stuff from SoCal to make it to VA!).
The first sip is a mixture of sweet milk chocolate, a loaded sweet potato (yams, butter and spices), and is slightly herbal - but nothing like Saison du BUFF! The ingredients are all subtle, but complex, with a definite strong finish of brown sugar. I wish I was sampling this beer with a large, juicy steak - I have to think it would pair incredibly well! A bit different for the season, but I enjoyed it!

Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) – Pope Benedict XVI's first visit to the United States as head of the Catholic Church features a diverse series of encounters with government leaders, interreligious and ecumenical representatives, the academic world and the Catholic faithful.
The pope's events in Washington and New York April 15-20 include a meeting with President George W. Bush at the White House and a visit to ground zero the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, in lower Manhattan.
His address to the United Nations April 18 will be the international highlight of the trip, offering the pope the most significant global platform to date in his three-year pontificate.
It will be Pope Benedict's eighth foreign trip and the first papal visit to the United States since Pope John Paul II made a 30-hour visit to St. Louis in 1999.
U.S. organizers report a high demand for tickets for the two papal Masses, to be celebrated in Nationals Park in Washington and Yankee Stadium in New York. At the Vatican, too, the excitement is building for what church officials say could be the most important papal trip in years.
Here is how the pope's itinerary will unfold:
Tuesday, April 15
The pope is expected to arrive at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington in the late afternoon after a nine-hour flight on his chartered Alitalia jet. He will be greeted by Bush and the first lady, as well as by local church dignitaries, and both the pope and the president are expected to make brief remarks.
According to a Feb. 15 White House statement, the meeting between Bush and Pope Benedict will focus on continuing discussions, began during the president's visit to the Vatican in June 2007, "on their common commitment to the importance of faith and reason in reaching shared goals," including "advancing peace throughout the Middle East and other troubled regions, promoting interfaith understanding and strengthening human rights and freedom, especially religious liberty, around the world."
Afterward, the pope will go to the apostolic nunciature, the Vatican's version of an embassy, to rest.
Wednesday, April 16
Bush welcomes the pope on the south lawn of the White House at 10:30 a.m., followed by private talks between the two leaders. It's only the second time in history that a pope has visited the White House, and it takes place on the pope's 81st birthday.
At 5:30 p.m., the pope presides over a prayer service with about 350 U.S. bishops at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Before the service, the pope will greet well-wishers outside.
Thursday, April 17
At 10 a.m., the pope celebrates Mass in Nationals Park, the first nonbaseball event at the new stadium.
At 5 p.m., the pope addresses the heads of more than 200 U.S. Catholic colleges and universities and school superintendents from U.S. dioceses at The Catholic University of America in northeast Washington.
At 6:30 p.m., the pope will join Buddhists, Muslims, Jews, Sikhs, Hindus and representatives of other religions for a prayer service at the Pope John Paul II Cultural Center.
Friday, April 18
After flying from Washington to New York, the pope addresses the U.N. General Assembly at 10:45 a.m. He's continuing a papal tradition: Pope John Paul II visited the United Nations twice, in 1979 and 1995, and Pope Paul VI did so in 1965.
At 6 p.m., the pope holds a prayer service with representatives of other Christian denominations at St. Joseph Church, a historic German parish in the Yorkville section of Manhattan.
Saturday, April 19
At 9:15 a.m., the pope celebrates Mass in St. Patrick's Cathedral in midtown Manhattan for priests, deacons and members of religious orders. The day marks the third anniversary of the pope's election.
At 4:30 p.m., the pope presides over an encounter with young people at St. Joseph Seminary in Yonkers, north of New York City. The pope will meet with about 50 disabled youths, then speak to several thousand young people – including hundreds of seminarians – at what's being described as a rally/prayer service.
Sunday, April 20
At 9:30 a.m., the pope will visit ground zero.
At 2:30 p.m., the pope will celebrate Mass in Yankee Stadium. The liturgy will commemorate the 200th anniversaries of the archdioceses of New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Louisville, Ky., as well as the elevation of Baltimore – the diocese from which the new sees were created – to an archdiocese.
The pope departs John F. Kennedy International Airport at 8 p.m. on Shepherd One, his chartered Alitalia jet.
Even for those who can't get into papal events, there will be opportunities to at least see the pontiff. Vatican officials are bringing over a glass-walled popemobile and plan to use it at some point in both cities.

"Hope in the Midst of Sorrow"
Lamentations 3:21-25
Jeremiah had a difficult life, or at least that's the way it seems to the casual observer. He served as God's prophet in a very troubling time in Judah's history. Judah rushed into sin following the example of her sister Israel and gave herself to idolatry. God repeatedly warned her through the prophet Isaiah and still she persisted in her disobedience.
Now the payday was coming. Outside the gates of Jerusalem, Babylonian armies lay siege. The punishment that Judah and Jerusalem so richly deserved hung over her like a dark cloud. In the face of the coming judgment Jeremiah had two roles. As God's spokesman, he gave Judah her last chance to repent, and he brought the very unpopular message that they would fall to Babylon in punishment for their sin. Because of Jeremiah's sensitivity, he agonized as God's agent in these matters.
The book of Lamentations is a lament that Jeremiah voiced while the cloud of God's condemnation burst upon Jerusalem. In this little book Jeremiah expresses the people's despair in the midst of the destruction of Jerusalem. Impending doom was impending no more, it stormed down upon their heads. Jeremiah not only spoke the peoples' plight, he also complained to God about how he suffered. Beginning in chapter three, Jeremiah's self-grieving reads like a huge personal pity party. As a part of the entertainment, he plays the blame game—pin the responsibility on God. This pity party suddenly halts in verse 21 when Jeremiah calls to mind three realities about Yahweh his God. What are these three things? He remembered, first, that the LORD loves eternally (v. 21-23). Second, Jeremiah admits that the LORD is His portion continually (v. 24-25). Finally, he reminded himself that the LORD is good persistently (v. 25).
Jeremiah is not in a positive mood in Lamentations 3. He says things like, "[The LORD] has filled me with bitterness, He has made me drink wormwood. He has also broken my teeth with gravel, And covered me with ashes. You have moved my soul far from peace; I have forgotten prosperity. And I said, 'My strength and my hope Have perished from the Lord'" (Lamentations 3:15-18). Before we castigate Jeremiah too harshly for his self-pity, we need to pause and admit that we have been there also. But all this changes in verse 21.
What happened? Jeremiah tells us: "This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope." In Jeremiah we find David's discipline of strengthening himself in God in a little different form. Jeremiah strengthened himself in God through reminding himself of three realities about the LORD our God. First, he remembered the wonder of God's covenant and endless love.
Jeremiah writes: "The Lord's loving kindnesses indeed never cease, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness" (verses 22-23). He remembers the LORD's love and faithfulness to him and to us. The Hebrew word translated "mercies" in the KJV is a special word. It speaks of our God's covenant love or faithfulness. This is the same Hebrew word used in Psalm 136 twenty-six times. It is repeated because Satan wants us to forget that God loves His people in a very special and specific way.
Sometimes the concept of covenant seems so theological and legal to us that we lose the blessing here. The most intimate relationship that a man and woman can have, marriage, is a covenant relationship. God uses marriage repeatedly to describe His relationship with His people. In each of these descriptions, He vividly delares His special committed love for His people. The word "covenant" is not a cold legal term to God. It paints a rich picture of His affection for us.
This truth is so important to Jeremiah that he rhymes the thought three times in the Hebrew poetry that he is writing. He writes: The LORD's Love never ceases/ His compassion never fails/ It is refreshed every morning. This leads to this great reality that Jeremiah had forgotten. God's faithfulness is great and unfailing. God is never unfaithful to His people. God never fails us. We may forget and fail Him, but he never forgets us.
The second thing that Jeremiah reminds himself is true about God is found in his self-pronouncement. "'The Lord is my portion,' says my soul, 'Therefore I hope in Him'" (verse 24). What does that mean? The Psalmist in Psalm 73 allows us a glimpse. "You will guide me with Your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." (Psalm 73:24–26) God is with him and us through life and will bring the Psalmist and us to glory. God is there and He is not silent in our lives.
Because God was David's portion, he could call the LORD his God. This is also why David found comfort in God when he walked through the valley of the shadow of death. David knew unequivocally God had committed Himself to him and was on his side. The Psalmist in Psalm 118:5-7 echoes David's and Jeremiah's trust. "I called on the Lord in distress; The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? The Lord is for me among those who help me; Therefore, I shall see my desire on those who hate me." Jeremiah's confidence came from here also.
Jeremiah hoped because of three things that he reminded himself about his God. First, he remembered that the LORD's love never fails. Because of this God is ever faithful to us. Second, he reminded himself that the LORD was his portion. The LORD being his portion meant that God was his inheritance and that God was right there in the valley of the shadow of death with him. The all-powerful God of Israel had his back. If God was for him, who could be against him?
Now we come to the third thing that Jeremiah remembered about his LORD and ours, He is always good. "The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him" (verse 25). We have to be careful here. Quite often we say God is good when He does just what we want Him to do or gives us specifically what we want. The truth is that God is always good. His goodness is part of His character and all that He does. The problem is that sometimes we cannot see His goodness to us. But that does not change the fact that He is always good.
Jeremiah reminded himself that God is especially good to those who wait upon Him. He was talking about those believers who trust God and patiently hold on to their confidence until God's plan unfolds and His goodness becomes apparent. This is the practice prescribed by the writer to the Hebrews. "Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise" (Hebrews 10:35–36).
Sometimes we read "waiting upon God" as sitting around and doing nothing. That clearly is not Jeremiah's definition of the concept. The rhyme of the thought in the Hebrew poetry shows us clearly how Jeremiah believed we were to wait. "The Lord is good … to the soul who seeks Him." Jeremiah is interested in us becoming God seekers. That means seeking out our God in His Word and through prayer. We need to diligently seek Him because of who He is. When we diligently seek God we will see His goodness in our lives and not throw away our faith.

In order to access the web from work, do you have to enter the proxy
server's info into your browser's configuration? If not you may be
hitting a firewall restriction and not a proxy server issue at all. If
this is the case you just need to run your ssh server on a port that is
not blocked by the firewall and configure putty to connect to it
directly on that non-standard port. A few that would likely work are 80
(http), 443 (https), 8080-8089 (typical proxy server port #'s).

Demand for new Internet Protocol (IP) addresses is rapidly exceeding the supply. A new standard, IPv6, will solve the problem. The transition won't be easy, as it affects all layers of the IT shop. But it needs to happen, and now is the time to start working on it.
The current Internet Protocol standard (IPv4) will likely run out of IP addresses in the next 2 to 3 years. That means enterprises that rely on the public Internet must begin the arduous task of transitioning to IPv6, or risk being disconnected from some of their customers.
Asia-Pacific and Europe have already run out of IP addresses those regions can assign to devices and applications that need to connect to the Internet. North America is expected to run out by Spring 2014. The dwindling supply of IP addresses threatens to constrain innovation and business growth.
Companies no longer have a choice about IPv6 migrations. If they want to continue to reach their target audiences on the Internet, they must move to the next generation Internet protocol. The longer they wait, the higher the likelihood that their customers will start connecting to the Internet with newer devices that won't connect to IPv4 networks, explains John Curran, president and CEO of the American Registry for Internet Numbers.

NEW BEDFORD — A motorcyclist and his passenger were seriously injured Monday night when their motorcycle collided with a car, police said.
Allen Russell, 43, and Melanie Russell, 32, of Huron Avenue, East Freetown, were transported to Rhode Island Hospital in Providence with serious injuries from the crash, according to police.
A hospital spokesman said late Tuesday afternoon that Allen Russell was in serious condition and Melanie Russell was in fair condition.
The accident occurred about 7:30 p.m. at Acushnet Avenue and Peckham Road, police said.
Detective Capt. Steven Vicente said a 24-year-old Fall River woman was making a left turn from Peckham Road in her 2007 Chevrolet HHR sedan to head south on Acushnet Avenue when she was struck on the rear driver's side door by the motorcycle.
Vicente declined to release the name of the driver of the car.
The motorcycle, a 1985 Harley Davidson, was traveling north on Acushnet Avenue, police said.
The accident is being investigated by Sgt. Jill Simmons of the Accident Reconstruction Unit.

Misleading Error: 'ManyRelatedManager' object has no attribute 'add'
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Database layer (models, ORM)
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
Description (last modified by charettes)
When defining a many-to-many relationship using a 'through' model, the 'add' and 'create' methods are not available, for good reason. However, rather than failing with a helpful exception directing the user to use the through model, the relevant ManyRelatedManager is simply missing its usual methods, raising a misleading AttributeError instead.
Expected Behavior
IMO, it would be more helpful, and possibly somewhat more Pythonic, to produce a type of exception that directs the user to use the through model. This correctly indicates the source of the problem, and doesn't require much additional monkeying about since the object already has to know of the need to use one as it is now, since it must be instantiated with no add/create methods.
Actual Behavior
The ManyRelatedManager is created missing two of its usual methods, raising an AttributeError if they are called. This is misleading[1] and can result in several wasted minutes making sure the method name and object is correct, consulting documentation, and so on.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create two simple models.
- Link them with a third model defined as a 'through' relation.
- Call add or create on one of the ManyRelatedManagers.
# in models.py from django.db import models class Person(models.Model): pass class Group(models.Model): members = models.ManyToManyField(Person, through='Membership') class Membership(models.Model): person = models.ForeignKey(Person) group = models.ForeignKey(Group) date_joined = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True)
# on shell >>> from testing.models import * >>> group = Group.objects.create() >>> person = Person.objects.create() >>> group.members.add(person) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: 'ManyRelatedManager' object has no attribute 'add'}}} [1] See, e.g., [this StackOverflow question](http://stackoverflow.com/q/8095813/2588818) and the related top comment/answer.

comment:3 Changed 3 years ago by oflores
Hi, it seems to be an expected behavior and very well documented. Here it is part of the explanation from django doc.
"Unlike normal many-to-many fields, you can't use add, create, or assignment (i.e., beatles.members = [...]) to create relationships:
# THIS WILL NOT WORK >>> beatles.members.add(john) # NEITHER WILL THIS >>> beatles.members.create(name="George Harrison") # AND NEITHER WILL THIS >>> beatles.members = [john, paul, ringo, george]
Why? You can't just create a relationship between a Person and a Group - you need to specify all the detail for the relationship required by the Membership model. The simple add, create and assignment calls don't provide a way to specify this extra detail. As a result, they are disabled for many-to-many relationships that use an intermediate model. The only way to create this type of relationship is to create instances of the intermediate model."
comment:4 Changed 3 years ago by timo
Looks like the file to modify here will be django/db/models/fields/related.py. In particular, look for the comment "If the ManyToMany relation has an intermediary model". The if rel.through._meta.auto_created guard that currently prevents add() and remove() from being added should be moved inside those methods and an exception raised something like: raise AttributeError("add() is disabled for ManyToManyFields with through() models.") It looks like create() already throws an AttributeError with a message. I haven't looked into if we can do something similar for direct assignment (the 3rd case in the above comment).

Since create() and set already raise suitably descriptive AttributeErrors, I've altered add() and remove() to do the same.

Official opening of Hyde's Bermondsey Spa office
Published by Lee-Anne Smith for The Hyde Group in Housing and also in Communities
Bwermondsey Spa opening
On Friday 27 June 2014, housing association, The Hyde Group, was pleased to welcome local Bermondsey Spa residents, staff from across Hyde and local Southwark (Riverside) councillors, Hamish McCallum and Eliza Mann, to the official opening of the Bermondsey Spa office on Jamaica Road, Bermondsey, London. Hyde made the decision to open an office in the Calico building on Bermondsey Spa to enhance customer service to residents.
Two long-standing Bermondsey Spa residents, Ivy Quirk and Violet Harris, were in attendance to cut the ribbon. All residents who attended the event were entered in a prize draw and the names of those who had previously attended an Estate Inspection were also put into a raffle. Children from the estate were also lucky enough to get prizes for their arts and crafts work.
Rohan Perera, Estate and Resident Services Manager, and Audrey Williamson, Head of Housing for London South, welcomed visitors who enjoyed canapés whilst networking in the sunshine. This was followed by a tour of the communal areas in the new blocks. The Councillors, accompanied by Hyde staff, were welcomed into the home of a resident of Kimmins Court. A successful event culminated in the cutting of a cake by young Hyde residents, Maddison and Monique.
Hyde has been working closely with Southwark Council, as one of the lead partners in the regeneration of the Bermondsey Spa area. This regeneration will result in some 2,000 new homes, with more than 40% affordable housing, open space, new youth and play facilities, bicycle parks, retail stores, health and dental centres and a pharmacy, amongst other things.

For 26 years, the town of Littleton has hosted its Christmas Parade on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
This year, the parade, which took place at noon, filled Main Street with floats, firetrucks, police cars and Santa Claus himself.
Families were able to meet the jolly man in red after the parade at the Littleton Opera House.

Before attempting to dig their playoff hopes out of a deep hole, the Buffalo Bills will first need to excavate Ralph Wilson Stadium out from a staggering snow storm.
The New York Jets have been digging for answers all season.
After more than four feet of snow blanketed Buffalo, the Bills will need to remove it before attempting to sweep the season series from the Jets for the first time in seven years Sunday.
Buffalo (5-5) has lost back-to-back games, and its 22-9 defeat to Miami on Nov. 13 has reduced the chances of ending its 14-year playoff drought. It could wind up in further limbo if this game with New York (2-8) is delayed - potentially as late as Tuesday according to reports - with a snow fall expected to reach up to six feet.
The race to clear the snow will include up to 500 people working three shifts around the clock, and it usually takes three days to clear one foot of snow.
While delaying the game is possible, a change of venue is another option for the league.
"We are working with the Bills to determine the status of the stadium," NFL spokesman Michael Signora said via email. "If a change to the schedule needs to be made, the league will make the decision working closely with the club and local authorities."
The Bills didn't practice Wednesday, and players used the free time to share their "snow day" experiences on social media.
Coach Doug Marrone, meanwhile, and his staff have been holed up in the team offices preparing for the Jets after getting stuck in the storm Tuesday. They got help from a New York State trooper, but couldn't get within five miles of the stadium.
"I've never seen anything like it," said Marrone, who previously coached Syracuse and is from the Bronx downstate. "It's very difficult to put into words exactly what's going on.
"Us being able to go out and practice is obviously not an option for us. This is very challenging. It's a tough, tough situation."
Kyle Orton has his own tough situation as he tries to shake off a toe injury and his worst performance since supplanting EJ Manuel as the starter. He completed 22 of 39 passes for 193 yards while failing to get the Bills into the end zone against the Dolphins.
Continued struggles could lead to Marrone turning back to Manuel, who was largely ineffective through the first four weeks of the season.
Having Fred Jackson back should help. The running back has been hampered by a groin injury that forced him to miss the loss to Miami and limited him to three carries and 10 yards in a defeat to Kansas City on Nov. 9.
"We need all hands on deck," Jackson said. "I need 100 percent for me to be out there and help my teammates. I think they want me out there. I want to be out there. I want to try to make some plays and get this thing turned around.
"We lost to two (teams) that we'll be fighting for position with, but there's always a chance. And anytime you have a chance, you're going to show up and fight. That's what I expect out of the guys in this locker room. And that's what I'm definitely going to do."
Buffalo has won three of the past four meetings with New York, and Orton tossed four TDs - including a 61-yarder to Sammy Watkins - in a 43-23 road victory in Week 8.
That meeting also marked a change at quarterback for the Jets, who inserted Michael Vick after Geno Smith was intercepted three times on eight passes in the first quarter. Vick went 18 for 36 for 153 yards, but ran for 69 on eight attempts as the Jets rolled up 175 with an average of 5.3 per carry.
"We were in the game and we put ourselves in a position to win the game, but it was all about turnovers," said Vick, who also committed three turnovers in that defeat. "I think you can go through it and hope that it's not going to be the same."
New York, though, may need a similar rushing effort at snow-bound Buffalo. The Jets gained 150 of their 275 yards on the ground while upsetting Pittsburgh 20-13 in Week 10 before entering their bye.
Vick had two touchdown passes against the Steelers, hitting T.J. Graham for a 67-yard strike as the Jets built a 17-0 lead in the first quarter.
Coach Rex Ryan, though, isn't dwelling on his decision to stick with Smith before eventually turning to Vick.
"You can easily say, 'Oh, well, we should've done this,' now," Ryan said. "At the same time, I was comfortable in my decision, not just with Michael, but with the other ones as well. So, I'm not going to spend time looking back."

Arduino IDE is designed to program Arduino boards featuring an AVR microcontroller with an Arduino bootloader. But Do you know that the same Arduino IDE can be used to program other Atmega microcontrollers, even without a bootloader?.
Tag Archive: usbasp
One of the most important things you must have to get into microcontroller programming is a good programmer. AVR microcontrollers are programmed using its SPI port. So the simplest AVR programmers are the direct parallel port or serial port programmers, in which SPI protocol is bitbanged using the serial port or parallel port. But modern PCs and laptops does not have parallel ports and serial ports. They only have USB ports. So here comes the role of USB based programmers. One of the simplest USB based programmer is USBASP. It uses an Atmega 8 and a few passive components, and is well supported in Linux, Windows ans Mac. More details of the USBASP can be found here.

I'm curious on what jumping ropes really do to you.
Which is better, jumping ropes or running/jogging? or both?
Someone please explain this to me. I want to burn body fat. Especially my belly fat. Thanks!

According to a study that was recently done, jumping rope burns more fat than running, jogging, swimming or just about any simple exercise you can do.
Plus, it also helps with your footwork if you do it properly and like a boxer should. Everything in the boxing gym is tied together for footwork, defense and offense.

I must admit I'm a keen runner and a keen skipper.
But there is no two ways about it, running is a better cardio exercise for building fitness.
In response to what Mr 1502 says about it burning fat better than anything else, it really comes down to pace of the exercise, not just the exercise itself. If you run 30 minutes hard you'll burn more fat than 30 minutes of skipping at a moderate pace.
If I speedskip for half an hour with allsorts of double jumps, crossovers, knee lifts and step variations it wont leave me anywhere as tired as trying to run 4.5-5 miles in the same time. I guess that is because the legs get lifted higher in running at a good 6-7 minute mile pace......and you have to keep to that pace by stopwatch!
Remember too that running different routes keeps training fresh, with skipping you are largely confined to where you skip in one place. Half an hour plus or repeated rounds with nothing to stare at (unless there are gorgeous girls about!) can be a bit tedious day in day out.
Also its easy to cheat a little with skipping, you can slow down at any point or avoid doing doubles etc if you are a bit tired. With a timed run, you need to push to meet your pace or beat your last time. Skipping offers very little measurable improvement.
That said, skipping is a great exercise, excellent for coordination and especially for boxing footwork (better than running as you are more closely mirroring movements in the ring).

Gephardt, Early Join Ford Board of Directors
Ford just added two new directors to its board — former House Majority Leader Dick Gephardt and Anthony Early, CEO of DTE Energy Co., a Michigan utility.
But will either one be overextended with the time commitment required to oversee a money-losing auto maker in the midst of a deep recession?
Mr. Gephardt already serves on the board of United States Steel Corp., Spirit Aerosystems Holding Inc., Dana Holding Corp., Centene Corp. and Embarq Corp. As a board member, Mr. Gephardt has earned a reputation as being "very engaging and very smart," a Gephardt acquaintance said.
But two of the boards Mr. Gephardt serves on – Dana and United States Steel – are rated "D" by the Corporate Library, a governance-research firm in Portland, Maine. The firm ranks companies on their governance practices. A "D'' or "F" rating means it has concerns about two or more categories, such as executive-pay practices and succession planning.
Mr. Earley has overseen DTE, parent of the Detroit Edison utility, since 1998. In addition to Ford, he has one outside board seat beside his employer's, at Masco Corp.
But some governance specialists believe active CEOs should hold no more than one outside board seat, because the role has become so demanding. Being a Ford board member could crimp Mr. Earley's ability to run DTE, said Paul Hodgson, a senior research associate at the Corporate Library. Ford directors "meet more often than a typical board due to the difficulties it's going through.''
Ford last year announced its board of directors was meeting more often, but didn't say by how much over its previous schedule of about once a month. Mr. Earley did not return a call for comment.
Some busy CEOs are cutting down on outside directorships. The heads of 42 public companies in U.S. and Canada gave up at least one board seat last year, according to an analysis by the Corporate Library.
The governance firm favors only one external board seat for an active CEO and no more than four altogether for other directors. "It's going to be extremely challenging for him to be an effective member of the Ford board without stepping down from one of his other boards,'' Mr. Hodgson suggested.
Mr. Gephardt in an interview this week said he will leave Dana's board in favor of Ford, adding that he believes he can ably serve on up to five boards simultaneously. Of the Ford board members, only John L. Thornton serves on as many boards as Mr. Gephardt will serve on after his resignation from Dana, according to the company's preliminary proxy filed this week.
Separately, a person familiar with the matter said that Ford directors originally sought a chief executive of a major manufacturer to fill one of the open slots. One potential candidate was George W. Buckley, chairman and president and CEO of 3M Co., according to this person. A spokesman for Mr. Buckley said this week he had no comment on the matter.

|Roman Cechmanek and Robert Esche shared the William M. Jennings Trophy for the 2002-03 season (tied with Martin Brodeur).
In the sixth round (171st overall), the team drafted goaltender Roman Cechmanek. During his rookie season of 2000-01, Cechmanek compiled a 35-15-6 record, 2.01 goals-against average and 10 shutouts in 59 regular season games. Following the season, Cechmanek was named to the NHL Second All-Star Team.
In three seasons with the Flyers (2000-01 through 2002-03), Cechmanek posted a 92-43-22 record, 1.96 GAA and 20 shutouts in 163 regular season games.

TALLAHASSEE — Saying that his current relationship with Florida A&M University President Elmira Mangum is "broken and irreparable," the chairman of the university board stepped down from his post on Friday.
Rufus Montgomery, an alumnus and a successful lobbyist in Georgia, notified other university trustees of his decision in a brief statement. Montgomery will remain on the board.
His decision to give up his position as chairman comes a day after trustees held a chaotic emergency meeting and almost voted to fire Mangum from her $425,000 a year job. Trustees deadlocked 6-6 on one vote.
The vote followed allegations about expensive repairs at Mangum's...

We recently learned that Stuart Gordon would be directing a cannibal-themed stage production titled Taste, but he also has plans to turn it into a full-length feature film. According to a new report from Variety, the film will shoot late next year after the first run of the stageplay and will include the same cast.
Taste is written by Benjamin Brand and is said to be based on the true story of Armin Meiwes. Referred to as the Rotenburg Cannibal, he "achieved international notoriety for killing and eating a voluntary victim whom he had found via the Internet." This project will be a microbudget production and there is no casting information at this time.
Stuart Gordon had a successful run with Re-Animator: The Musical and talked about trying to horrify audiences onstage with his latest production: "It's rare that real horror is done onstage… Re-Animator' the musical is more comedic than scary. But 'Taste' may cause people to actually pass out or lose their lunch in the theater."

I took advantage of the Affordable Care Act legislation that encouraged my insurance company to cover the costs of a breast pump. I selected the Ameda Purely yours, a closed system dual electric pump. I purchased a Medela Advanced pump-in-style (open system) pump with my first son; Unfortunately at nearly $300 it wasn't a great fit for me. I was thrilled to have this expense covered for baby 3, and currently have both pumps at home. Although the Ameda came without a bag, my Medela came in a black synthetic tote. It's the black bag that anyone who has shopped for baby items can recognize...it doesn't match anything and my bag always looks like it needs to be washed.
When my Ameda pump arrived, I was shocked to see that it was just the pump..... 1 pump, 1 tubing set, 2 breast shields, 2 valves, 2 bottles...the end. I tried using several bags including our diaper bag, a tote, and a bag the hospital gave me to carry these items. None of them worked well and I found myself fumbling with my supplies at work. I even dropped parts on the floor trying to get everything together. I was thrilled to find an amazing fashionable-breastfeeding-Mom-discovered company that makes beautiful functional pump bags; Juno Blu.
- adjustable optional shoulder strap
- gold hardware finish
- exterior front pockets for pump and storage
- exterior side thermo-insulated pocket, keeps liquids warm/cool for up to 4hrs (time will vary depending on external temperature)
- 2 reusable ice packs for insulated pocket
- washable, blue dirty bottle bag
- interior zipper, cell phone pockets and key ring clasp
- wipe clean lining
- pump pocket size (compatible with various pump sizes): 6" deep x 6" wide x 6" high
- tote dimensions: 15" wide x 11.5" high x 7.25" deep (find bag here)
In addition to the well organized interior, both sides of the tote are functional. The side shown both above (closed) and below (open) comes with ice packs and is insulated to keep pumped milk cool for up to 4 hours! Obviously you wouldn't leave this in the sun or by a heater, but adding an additional ice pack, or storing in a fridge is a great way to keep milk an an ideal temperature for longer periods until it can be placed in the refrigerator or freezer at home.
- Ameda Pump
- Plug outlet cord
- Plug with AC adapter cord for car
- 2 Medela Bottles
- 2 Ameda Bottles
- Stack of storage bags
- 2 bag adapters for pump
- 6 bottle caps (extra for instances when I drop one)
- Hands-free pumping bra
- Breast shields with properly fitting phlanges, valves and tubing.
- Quick clean wipes and hand sanitizer
The Juno Blu Breast Pump Bags come with a reusable storage bag that is great for holding clean parts. Not only does it help keep your pump parts clean, but it also provides easy access to them when you're ready to pump. It also comes with this fantastic cotton storage bag, a removable shoulder strap, and two handles great for a shoulder carry.

Maybe now is the time to try the nvidia driver instead?
Also, I use MPlayer + mplayerplug-in in preference to gxine.
Then most media links play fine from Firefox.
I'm using the nvidia driver.

Yesterday, House Republicans voted overwhelmingly for a plan that cuts the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by 5% over the next decade. But 15 Republicans voted no, and some of them are explaining why. It turns out, their rationale tends to be pretty similar to Democrats': The cuts are too deep and hurt vulnerable people at a time when it is difficult to find jobs and feed families. Rep.
