Pontifical Biblical Commission
The Pontifical Biblical Commission (Latin: Pontificia Commissio Biblica) is an organism established within the Roman Curia to ensure the proper interpretation and defense of Sacred Scripture.
The Commission (1901–71)[edit]
The Pontifical Biblical Commission was established as a committee of Cardinals, aided by consultors, who met in Rome to ensure the proper interpretation and defense of Sacred Scripture. This function was outlined in the encyclical Providentissimus Deus.
The first appointments to the Commission were in August, 1901, but it was not formally established by Pope Leo XIII until October 30, 1902, with the Apostolic Letter "Vigilantiae Studiique".[1] The first Commission was composed of three Cardinals and 12 Consultors.
The Consultors met twice a month, with Secretaries present. The Secretaries reported to the Cardinals on the Commission, who met on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month. The Cardinals proposed questions for the consultors to consider and voted on the answers received from the consultors. The Cardinals had the option of sending questions back to the consultors for further study, commissioning a single consultor to investigate a matter more deeply, and sanctioning or modifying the study results. After a decision was reached, the secretaries reported to the Pope, who could also send the matter back for further study, or ratify the results of the study.
The duties of the Commission were:
- to protect and defend the integrity of the Catholic Faith in Biblical matters
- to further the progress of exposition of the Sacred Books, taking account of all recent discoveries
- to decide controversies on grave questions which might arise among Catholic scholars
- to give answers to Catholics throughout the world who may consult the Commission
- to see that the Vatican Library was properly furnished with codices and necessary books
- to publish studies on Scripture as occasion might demand.[2]
The Commission was granted the power to grant pontifical academic degrees in biblical studies by Pope Pius X's Apostolic Letter Scripturae sanctae of February 23, 1904. Pope Pius XI, by the Motu Proprio Bibliorum scientia of April 27, 1924 and the Apostolic Constitution Deus scientiarum Dominus of May 24, 1931, clarified that such degrees were equivalent in status to those of the Pontifical Universities. [3]
The Commission 1971-1988[edit]
On June 27, 1971, the Motu Proprio Sedula Cura ("On New Laws Regulating the Pontifical Biblical Commission - June 27, 1971'") was issued, by which Pope Paul VI completely restructured the Commission and attached it to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith as a consultative body.
The Commission since 1988[edit]
On June 28, 1988, Pope John Paul II's Apostolic Constitution Pastor Bonus confirmed the commission's being attached to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and that the Cardinal Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (since May 13, 2005, William Levada) is ex officio President of the Pontifical Biblical Commission. There is a Secretary,[4] who is not the Archbishop Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, but to date has been chosen from eminent professors of the Pontifical Biblical Institute. The current Secretary (named 12 December 2014) is Pietro Bovati, S.J.; prior to his appointment Father Klemens Stock, S.J.,[5] had served in the position since 2001. The members are Catholic biblical scholars proposed by the Bishops' Conferences.

All PR people should act like Cotto and accept their new star of boxing. I'm sure most guys who talk shit about this Cruz guy wouldn't have the balls to get in the ring with him.

Props to Cotto? WTF is this about?
Cotto was being a decent human being. That he gets props for it says everything you need to know about the expectations of our fellow man.
Every time I say something decent, I don't pat myself on the back and say, "Yeah man, that was classy, I deserve to be acknowledged for it." Hell no, if I live up to the standard I set for myself then that's acceptable, nothing more. If I fall below it, I deserve a kick in the teeth, if I go above and beyond the call of duty (y'know, stand up for something, go and reach out to a community and fund raise or protest or whatever else) then maybe I deserve applause.
It really shows how low our standards are that Cotto gets props for saying something any decent man should say. Props to Cruz for coming out in a difficult climate, that's brave and commendable. Cotto? I'm glad (nothing more) that Cotto is not a twat, and **** the lot of you for thinking he deserves applause for saying that it is OK to be gay. If you don't think it is OK, **** you, imbecile. If you think it OK, welcome to being normal. If you actually do anything about an issue, then maybe I'll shake your hand for it, but it sickens me to see so much celebration over Cotto not being a prick.

About Senate
Secretaries to Senate
Walter Albert Selle
Walter Albert Selle (1883 - 1968) was the University of Sydney Registrar from 1924 to 1947. The position of Registrar included being Secretary to Senate.
He also served as a Fellow of Senate from 1944 to 1964.
MA HonLLD Sydney
Registrar: 1924 - 1947
Fellow of Senate: 1944 - 1964
His background
Walter Albert Selle, the son of a German coach builder, was born in Albury on 24 February 1883.
He was educated at Albury Superior Public School and for three years was a clerk in the local military office and also to the district school inspector. Moving to Sydney in 1902, Selle completed a one-year course at Fort Street Training School. After a short time at Croydon Public School, he taught junior classes at Fort Street Model School (Boys' High School from 1911).
Promoted by the headmaster, A J Kilgour, to teach mathematics, Selle obtained a first-class certificate and became assistant mathematics master. For several years he was assistant examiner for the departmental qualifying certificate, superintendent of all examinations conducted by the Commonwealth Public Service, presiding officer at several Federal elections and clerk to the returning officer.
His students days at the University of Sydney
In 1907 Selle enrolled at the University of Sydney as an evening student, obtaining his BA in 1913. Selle was very much involved in student affairs and during this period was Vice-President of the Undergraduate Association and President of the Evening Students' Association. He graduated BA in 1913.
In 1924 he took out an MA.
His career at the University of Sydney
In December 1913 Selle was appointed clerk of examinations at the Uuniversity.
His administrative skill and tact in dealing with staff and students did not go unnoticed by the Senate; in 1922 he was appointed Assistant Registrar, Acting Registrar in 1923, and the University's fifth Registrar from 1924 to 1947.
Selle was a Director of the Union 1916-17 and for over fifty years was associated with the Swimming Club. He was also a founder of Lodge University and its first Director of Ceremonies.
Even during his own lifetime Selle was to become a legend. Professor Holme was to claim that "of his prodigious memory perhaps some exaggerations may become current, but nobody will ever be able to say that Selle could not quote to him or to her the full name recorded in the baptismal register, however difficult or copious that naming may have been". A kind and considerate man with unfailing good will, he was greatly esteemed by his colleagues, students and parents. The Senate and the Professorial Board found his wise counsel and almost encyclopaedic knowledge of University matters invaluable.
For many years Selle represented the University on the Bursary Endowment Board (1924-1961) and the Soldiers ' Children Education Board. During 1932- 33 and again in 1948 he was Acting Vice-Chancellor.
He was a Fellow of Senate from 1944 to 1964.
Selle died in Royal Prince Alfred Hospital on 18 January 1968.

You may not remember your high school social science teacher, or your high school's fight song, or even your first kiss, but one thing everyone remembers is their first car.
There's probably a smile on your face as you think back on the great times you had with that car and you wish, at least sometimes, you never got rid of it.
You may have regrets, but not Kathi Curry. This 1955 Ford F-100 pickup was her first vehicle, and she never plans to sell it.
"I was about 11 years old when my dad bought it new in Auburn. It was his only vehicle. I learned to drive it on the back roads of Auburn when I was 15 ½ and got my learner's permit. It's a four-speed stick shift on the floor with a granny gear which I think I have only used once," she said.
Curry admits to many "jack rabbit" starts that did try the nerves of her otherwise patient dad.
"In 1967, during my last semester at Chico State," she said, "I had an internship 21 miles away in Paradise and my dad gave me the truck for the semester. He walked to work the swing shift the entire semester; he was that kind of dad." Curry's dad got his truck back after graduation, but unfortunately, he died two years later. Curry's mom then gave her the truck.
The old Ford pickup was Curry's sole transportation for 19 years until 1988 when she bought a new car. "After that I didn't drive the truck too much and it sort of languished in the driveway for a long time. In 1999, a young man came along with a pretty tricked out '56 Ford his dad had restored and said his dad may be willing to restore my truck. I had gotten a restoration price in Walnut Creek which was way more than I was willing to pay. Long story short is the father restored the vehicle in Clovis, near Fresno, but before this all, his restorations were of the customized and exotic type."
An agreed price was reached which remains confidential, and the total, greater than the agreed price, has not been computed by the owner. However I'm pretty sure it was considerably higher than the $1,460 the truck cost when new.
Curry trailered the old Ford to Casey's Rod Barn in Clovis and Casey worked on his first stock restoration for five months.
During the five months, Casey would call suggesting different modifications but Curry insisted the truck was to be stock, just like when her dad bought it.
"What part of stock don't you get?" she would ask. But she did cave in on two items: a chrome bumper in back replaced a massive aftermarket painted steel Barden bumper. The second item was the interior: It was a not too comfortable basic vinyl seat and a rubber floor mat, so Curry upgraded to a comfortable pleated gray suede-like cloth seat and a carpeted floor. New glass was also installed.
The paint color had to be the factory original, Meadow Green. The 6 ½ foot bed of the truck has a beautifully finished honey-colored eight board oak floor, with the original metal slide strapping separating the boards.
The luxury list on this step-side pickup is pretty short as there is no power anything.
"My air conditioning is the vent that opens from under the dashboard," she joked. "It does have a heater, a cigarette lighter but no radio." The spare tire is mounted in the left rear fender.
The iconic Ford Blue Oval is nowhere to be been seen on this truck. In 1950, after Henry Ford had died, management apparently thought the traditional Ford Oval signature emblem was out of date. They replaced it with Coat of Arms emblems, one for cars and one for trucks. These emblems were used until the mid-1960s.
Ford manufactured 124,842 pickups in 1955 for 30 percent of the market. The 1955 Ford pickup was a face-lift of the all-new 1953 model. It was the second major styling change since the end of World War II with the hood and fenders flowing together and a large curved windshield. The front axle was moved back creating a 110-inch wheelbase which was four inches shorter than the competitive Chevrolet, to give the Ford a turning radius advantage.
By 1955 Ford had built 20 million V8 engines, but Curry's truck doesn't have one of them.
Curry's Ford is powered by the original I-6, overhead valve engine producing 115 HP and has only been driven 81,395 miles. But this will soon change. Now that the truck is completely restored, and can be garaged at Curry's Pleasant Hill home, she has vowed to drive it twice a week — once to work and on the weekend to Lunardi's for groceries, each about a 12-mile round trip.

My Summer Passion
Summer time is upon us. Tis' the season for margaritas, beach blankets, sand, sun, fun and friends! It's the time for getaways to tropical locations, pool side romances, and late night dips in the ocean. Summer has always been a time of romanticism. Dolce & Gabanna seems to have captured that feeling entirely with its style.
To get you in the spirit of D&G, imagine that you are the quintessential Italian man, lean with a dark tan glistening on the Mediterranean coast. The sleek D&G bathing suit grabbing the attention of your fellow beach goers while you survey the scene behind dark sunglasses, you casually kick at the sand as you walk the shores of paradise. You and your friends take the yacht out at sundown to leave the city behind, conversation crosses from fashion trends to politics with unnoticeable ease as you sip your Bellini slowly and enjoy the night breeze. Good, now you've got it.
D&G's beachwear line has a timeless elegance mixed in with an understated modern style, complimenting your shape and exuding an overall vintage look. The swimwear collection, made in Italy, is well crafted and designed. The sporty Rugby collection is unique in its style and unsurpassed comfort. The overall look and feel will draw all the right attention and you will soon find yourself bombarded with compliments.
Indulge yourself even further with the sandals from D&G. They are comfortable and the perfect summer accent piece. Last weekend I bought a pair and have already gotten several "Nice, where did you get those." Luxury is for everyone and should no longer be for the fashion elite. Be bold and confident, refine your appearance and get what you want. Dive into our new line of D&G beachwear.
-- Will & Dustin.

Twin City, Ga--It was just a couple of years ago when Georgia sophomore running back Washaun Ealy was leading ECI to a state title. Even after he left the Bulldog program, Emanuel County has barely missed a beat
A big reason for that is tradition. No doubt, ECI has lots of that on their side. This year should be no different seeing they lost just 10 seniors from a talented squad a year ago. It's a true statement when you say winning breads winning, especially with these Bulldogs.
"I say the pressure is here" said senior Tyrone Johnson "We have a good tradition of winning and we work as hard as we can so we can keep that tradition rolling. After I graduate, we can still try to teach the young guys the same thing we did."
Now Tyrone Johnson is just one of a handful of running backs expected to carry the load and he knows there's pressure playing here. But the way ECI practices is the way they play in games. Thus the success they have.
"We want to try to practice at a pace that you know a lot of folks can't simulate." said coach Milan Turner "We hope that maybe we're practicing at a little bit higher pace then other folks we have to play so that when we get out there on Friday nights, four quarters of football isn't so hard for us."
A year ago may have been a blip on the radar when they were bounced in the second round of the playoffs. It would come as no surprise if they make another deep run in class a again this year.

The Times is attempting to win new digital subscribers with an offer to pick up a 32GB Google Nexus 7 tablet for just £50 as part of an 18 month subscription deal. Under the digital deal the cost of The Times and The Sunday Times would be £4 a week.
It works out as a considerable saving. It means you effectively save almost £150 if you take The Times digital package. It is the kind of deal that will likely tempt more than a few paywall refusenik as they consider their options for buying tablets either for themselves or as presents.
The options on offer mean you can pay either £299 up front in a one off payment or alternatively you can pay £67.33 — for the tablet and first month subscription — and then £17.33 monthly payments.
Ironically news of the deal comes a day after News Corp closed its iPad only newspaper The Daily after losing millions of dollars.
You can find out more about the The Times Nexus 7 deal here.

Until recently before the update the plugin was working correctly. Since the update the plugin does not direct to mercado pago rather it stays busy until it times out and the website indicates the payment could not be made.
any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Ok, but what could be the problem? Should I contact MercadoPago?
universomma you're having the same problem as me.
@universomma Your justification is invalid!
Did not change any of integration, just gave support for version 2.1 of WooCommerce.
See the commits in 4 Dec: https://github.com/claudiosmweb/woocommerce-mercadopago/commits/1.8.0
See which works well with the Sandbox.
I am using here and also some customers without any problem.
However some people are having this problem.
Recommend trying to check with MercadoPago.
@universomma Your justification iis also invalid, because they had reported this problem before the upgrade: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-does-not-exist?replies=3
ok...thanks for your response.
Well then my options would be;
1) enable sandbox?
2) enable log settings...?
3) contact mercadopago?
2, 3 and check your server.
Possible solution: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/register_http_request_failed-ssl-connection-timeout?replies=32

@gasto: If you require assistance then, as per the Forum Welcome, please post your own topic.
@esmi is the same problem.
I prefer to resolve all the same here.
@gasto This error is not the plugin.
The connection failed because to
SSL connection timeout.
In case your server are taking a long time to make the connection.
But there are other people with the same exact problem now, is it also because of our servers? I didn't make any change on the server.
I prefer to resolve all the same here.
That's not how the WPORG forums work. Please review the Forum Welcome.
I ask you the same thing.
There was no change in the plugin about it in 6 months.
Why stopped working alone?
So, if you didn't make any changes on the plugin, and we didn't make any changes on the server, could it be a mercadopago problem?
@esmi: Yes I know how it works.
But when I put the same thing in different threads I'm locked and forced to wait.
Its help me with this then?
@gasto: Yes it can be a problem with the MercadoPago.
@esmi: I love this http://i.imgur.com/Elke9cH.png !
How are you forced to wait?
This topic is Matinga's not yours or anyone else. That's important.

HONG KONG: Investigators from Hong Kong will travel to Indonesia to speak with a woman who left the Chinese city after she was allegedly tortured by her employer, authorities said yesterday, adding they will pursue the case "relentlessly".
Erwiana Sulistyaningsih (pictured), 22, was reportedly left unable to walk after eight months of alleged abuse at the hands of the employer. She was admitted to a hospital in critical condition after returning home last week.
Domestic workers took to the streets of Hong Kong in support of her on Thursday, and demanded better protection for hundreds of thousands of foreign helpers.
During the protest, a second maid known only as "Bunga" came forward to allege abuse at the hands of the same employer — reported to be in her 40ss who lives with two teenage sons and a husband who is often away — four years ago.
Authorities promised action and said police officers will be sent to Indonesia to speak with Erwiana.
"Police will be liaising with Interpol to send officers to Indonesia to take a statement from the helper," Labour and Welfare Minister Matthew Cheung said. AFP

As we turn the calendar into March, we begin meteorological spring. Actual Spring is still 19 days away, and it feels like it outside today and especially this weekend. I hope you haven't put your winter clothes away just yet!
As has been mentioned for most of this week, Saturday will see the chance of a flurry. It appears now that we are a day away that the best chance for a flurry will stay well to our north in the Golden Triangle and especially into north Alabama. However, we may be able to squeeze out a flurry or two in locations along and north of Highway 16. We will lack the moisture to get anything more than a flake, and any snow you do see will be a small, dry snow flake, not a big, wet one. Outside of the flurry chance, it will be a raw winter day with temperatures struggling to 40 degrees and a strong northwest wind at 10-15 making the wind chill even worse!
After tomorrow, we will start to thaw on Sunday as we return to near 50 degrees and back into the 60s to start next week. A cold front will swing through on Tuesday bringing us rain and then an even big warm up looks to take place for the end of next week, but we will only get to or just above normal.

Pollution-detecting robotic fish get to work at Science Museum
Greenwise Staff
24th June 2010
The latest weapon in the fight against water pollution –fully automated robotic fish – are to go on display at the Science Museum.
The life-like, carp-shaped, robots have been recognised by the
Science Museum
for their advanced
which include chemical sensors to monitor pollution in the water and Wi-Fi technology to transmit information back to base. The
robotic fish
can function independently, or, as part of a shoal, without the need for remote controls. They can indicate the source and scale of any pollution, such as leaks from vessels in the port or underwater pipelines.
They will be housed at the Science Museum's new Antenna science news gallery, which opens this Saturday June 26.
Beyond their scientific interest, though, the fish have a serious purpose and are being developed as part of a three-year research project called SHOAL, funded by the European Commission (EC) and co-ordinated by BMT Group Ltd, a UK independent engineering consultancy.
"Currently, monitoring pollution in the sea is cumbersome," said Luke Speller, senior research Scientist at BMT Group. " You have to send divers down to collect water samples, which we then test in a lab. This can take days and needs staff and expensive equipment. Our robotic fish will constantly test for pollution to give instant results without delay."
The1.5 metre-long fish, which cost approximately £20,000 to make, are being developed by the robotics team at the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering, University of Essex.
Professor Huosheng Hu commented: "The robotic fish have been designed to mimic the natural movements of real fish. By copying the way in which fish move, we have produced a highly efficient robot that can manoeuvre easily through the water. The tails mimic the fish's oscillating (side-to-side) movement, which is more effective than using a propeller. We want these robots to be able to swim for as long as possible before their batteries need recharging, so efficiency is vital."
Each fish will have tiny chemical sensors to detect a range of pollutants and these are being developed by the Tyndall National Institute, based in Ireland.
They will be released into the port of Gijon, northern Spain, by the end of the year for trials.

PSB Introduces the Imagine T2 Speaker
PSB's Synchrony One ($5000/pair) is listed in Class A (Restricted Extreme LF) of Recommended Components, and their Imagine T ($2199/pair) is in Class B. At the 2012 CES, PSB introduced the Imagine T2 ($3500/pair), which, according to Paul Barton (seen in my photo), applies the technology of the Synchrony series to the Imagine T. Like the Synchrony One, the Imagine T2 has three woofers, each in a separate compartment, which are driven together at the low end, and as we go higher in the frequency range the second and third woofer are rolled off gradually at the bottom. As with Paul Barton's other designs, the tweeter is mounted below the midrange. Driven by an NAD C390 all-digital integrated amplifier, the sound had superb clarity and detail, with excellent imaging.

CBS wants more 'Accidentally on Purpose'
Network orders five additional episodes of the Jenna Elfman Monday comedy
CBS has ordered additional episodes of the freshman comedy "Accidentally on Purpose," also known as "That Jenna Elfman Show That Airs Between 'How I Met Your Mother' and the Popular 9 p.m. CBS Comedies."
To be more specific, "Accidentally on Purpose" has been ordered for an additional five episodes, which is a vote of confidence, but not nearly the vote of confidence a full back-nine order would have been. As it stands, the first season of "Accidentally on Purpose" would be 18 episodes, short of the 22 episodes that usually make up a full run, but two more than the 16 episodes aired for last season's unrenewed "Worst Week."
For the season, "Accidentally on Purpose" is averaging 8.04 million viewers and a 3.1 rating in the 18-49 demo, usually retaining most of its "How I Met Your Mother" lead-in. CBS boasts that Monday's (Nov. 2) episode matched season highs among adults 18-34 with a 2.5 rating.
"Accidentally on Purpose" stars Jenna Elfman, Ashley Jensen, Jon Foster, Grant Show, Lennon Parham and Nicolas Wright.

Comparing Trayvon Martin, O.J. Simpson Cases
The televising of the O.J. Simpson murder trial 22 years ago ignited a national discourse on race and crime. Overwhelmingly, whites believed he was guilty; blacks believed him innocent. Could televising the Trayvon Martin trial have the opposite effect? John McWhorter, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a writer for the New Republic, offers his insight.

Finding the Right Car Service Company
Our cars are only second to our homes in terms of sizable investments we usually make. In other words, when seeking auto-related services, from brake and collision repairs to full service inspection and everything in between, choose a shop that boasts excellent performance.
Surely, there are many factors to consider, but these below will assist you in making a choice:
1. Find a good shop before you need one.
Learning The "Secrets" of Vehicles
Searching for a reputable auto service shop before a need offers you sufficient time to make a smart choice, instead of rushing into one just because you want the damage repaired as soon as possible.
Finding Ways To Keep Up With Cars
2. Seek referrals from friends and family.
With social media, this part is so much easier. You need recommendations or suggestions from other people, specifically those whom you trust and will never mislead you.
3. Read online reviews.
Look into your prospective shop's Facebook page and see what their current or past customers are saying. Or explore websites dedicated to auto shop reviews specifically. In addition, call your local consumer affairs office to know of any issues the shop may have been embroiled in. You will learn so much.
4. Visit the shop and assess for cleanliness.
Take a look around any car repair shop you're considering. Is the place organized and tidy? Often, you will know a lot about a business judging by the way it presents itself.
5. Find a shop with good customer service.
Polite, helpful staff who are glad to answer your questions is a sign that you're with a professionally run car repair shop.
6. Familiarity is important.
Ask your prospective auto repair shop if they have experience with your vehicle make, model, and year, regardless of your car's age. Specialist shops will have modern equipment and only employ well-trained staff, meaning, you can expect superior results.
7. Look for professional certifications.
When visiting a shop, it's reassuring to see display signs of technician competence, such as Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certifications, certificates of advanced course work, trade school diplomas, and the like. When you visit a shop, it's always good to see signs of technician competence, like trade school diplomas, certificates of advanced course work, Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certifications, and so on.
8. Ask about pricing.
Read through posted testing and diagnostic pricing, along with guarantees. Also, good auto repair shops provide bills that include separate charges for labor and parts, so you know how exactly your money is spent.
9. Give your insurer a ring.
When searching for an auto repair shop after an accident has occurred, your insurance company will likely provide you with a list of Direct Repair Facilities, and you may qualify for a lower deductible.
10. Ask about warranty.
Be sure you are happy with the warranties you are provided by the shop. There can be significant differences in the warranties offered by various shops, take the time to know every condition.

Welcome to A TOUCH OF AMISH online.
While our website cannot begin to convey the lovely feeling that you have when actually in the shop, we will attempt to give you "the flavor." The shop began in March of 1986 so this is the beginning of our 30th year. I am very proud of that and the industry has certainly changed so much in that time! Did you know that the rotary cutter was first introduced by Olfa in 1979? It was first used in the garment industry but quilters quickly picked it up. Machine quilting was not really recognized as QUILTING at first and now look at the computerized long arms. We recently started selling Accuquilt cutters which takes cutting accuracy and speed of cutting to a new level. We have "come a long way, baby!"
Fabrics have gone from little calicos and 1930's reproductions to the lovely soft hand of today's modern graphics that many young quilters like. We still love the 30's, the Civil War fabrics but offer the "punch" of spunk and color as well. Our love of colors hasn't changed but our favorite colors have. It continues to be fun and inspiring. I love to learn new techniques and challenge myself but it really comes down to loving the relaxing rhythm of my sewing machine. That won't change.
Our calendar can be found on this website and hopefully enough information to guide you into the shop for some of our great demonstrations and classes. The shop is staffed with the most wonderful group of employees who are enthusiastic about quilting, color and just plain fun. It will make your visit here the best experience!
The staff is made up of dedicated quilters who enjoy the art. Therefore the shop displays are beautiful and the quilts made my many. We have a variety with new quilts added regularly. Our goal is to "freshen" and change up the quilts often. We offer something for everyone, be they a novice or an accomplished, experienced quilt. You are in for a treat to the variety of fabric choices, the latest notions, threads and battings.
We are a TOP SHOP! A Touch of Amish was proud to have been featured as one of ten outstanding quilt shops in the Spring/Summer 2007 issue of the Better Homes and Gardens Quilt Sampler.
Happy Quilting!

As thousands raced from the office towers of Manhattan, Jewish leaders in Los Angeles scrambled in two directions at once.
The safety of the Jewish community during the High Holy Days had to be reevaluated. At the same time, major Jewish organizations expressed the need to speak out on behalf of local Muslims, against stereotyping and accusations.
Throughout the week following the attacks, rabbis stressed that security concerns applied equally to all Americans, that the terrorism was not directed at Jews or any other group. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) emphasized the ongoing need for security at High Holy Day services.
"We've been doing what we always do -- advising Jewish organizations regarding security," said ADL Regional Director David Lehrer. "We advise an appropriate response: to take security seriously, but not to react hysterically. We've checked with our intelligence sources, and we are not aware of any threat to any Jewish organization or institution."
Lehrer said the need for security at synagogues was the same as in previous years. "This is not the 'Leave it to Beaver' '50s. We should be as concerned as any other Americans." He referred concerned synagogue staff and members to the ADL Web site, which has posted a security manual with important guidelines for the High Holy Days.
The ADL guidelines urge congregations to take security seriously, but not to panic. "Security consciousness is a necessity for leaders and members of community institutions," says the introduction, "yet the subject and the specific steps entailed should be approached in a spirit of calm and professionalism, not alarm or panic."
Meanwhile, as gunfire struck a mosque in Texas and police broke up an angry march toward another mosque in Chicago, the ADL and other organizations tried to prevent a possible outbreak of violence directed at Muslims. Within days of the attack, major Jewish organizations released statements emphasizing the need to remain calm and not blame Muslims for the acts of terrorists.
Clergy sensed some danger, they said, at a meeting last Wednesday of the Los Angeles Council of Religious Leaders -- which had been scheduled prior to the attacks. They called upon the citizens of Los Angeles to "pledge to refrain from stereotyping, demonizing and divisive rhetoric."
Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center also spoke of the vital distinction between the perpetrators and Arabs and Muslims in America. "As we mourn our tremendous losses, let us not be tempted to stereotype innocent people merely because of the religion they practice," Hier said. "This is a war against terrorism, not Islam."
Also disturbed by the threat of anti-Arab or anti-Muslim violence were local Muslims, who received threats throughout the week.
At the Islamic Society of Orange County, administrator Fawad Yacoob took notice of a mounting anger directed at Arab Americans and Muslims. "We have heard of incidents of attacks," he said, "Here in Southern California, security has been a major concern."
"We closed all the Muslim schools in Los Angeles," said Sarah Eltantawi of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee. "There's been a feeling of siege and fear, because of threats and looks, and what we've been reading." She added that local Muslim fears were not relegated to news of threats in other states. "There have been specific threats" in Los Angeles, she said, "hate e-mails and general threats."
Both Yacoob and Eltantawi, however, noted that the fear and threats were balanced by widespread expressions of unity, from Jews and others. "In fact, we have been inundated with phone calls of support," said Yacoob. "Some have stated their faith, some have not. They say, 'We remember Oklahoma City. We won't allow that [backlash] to happen again.' Several different rabbis have reached out and invited us to events.
"When the tragedy occurred on Tuesday, the mayor and the police chief [of Garden Grove] came and said, 'You are a part of our community.'"

What is the essence of America? Finding and maintaining that perfect, delicate balance between freedom "to" and freedom "from."
Marilyn vos Savant (1946 -)
Contributed by: Zaady
What is it indeed that gives us the feeling of elegance in a solution, in a demonstration? It is the harmony of the diverse parts, their symmetry, their happy balance; in a word it is all that introduces order, all that gives unity, that permits us to see clearly and to comprehend at once both the ensemble and the details.
Jules Henri Poincare (1854 - 1912)

Such is the stuff of waking nightmares, incipient madness, the sort of now-bewildered but soon-to-be-deranged thoughts that cause once well-balanced people to peek under their beds at night, suspect that their phones are tapped, and, in time, become certain that sinister forces are monitoring their every move. Maybe it's the government, maybe it's the Trilateral Commission, maybe it's the saucer people. You can't trust anyone because anyone and everyone may be one of Them or on of Their Agents. And pretty soon you begin writing long letters to the editor of Scientific American, or maybe you don't because the editors are probably part of the conspiracy too. And you think about lining your room with aluminum foil to keep the radio waves out, and at night you roam the streets spray-painting mystic symbols on the walls to repel strange forces, and all the while you gibber to yourself and what you say makes sense to you if to no one else, and in the end you put your belongings in a shopping bag, better to be mobile, and you look for a dark place you can hide during the daylight hours, because They are out there, and They are searching, and They want you in their crosshairs. . . . The headshrinkers call it paranoia, and when it gets bad they put you away. Because, after all, people who think everyone in the world wants to kill them can be dangerous.
Joseph R. Garber
Man always travels along precipices. His truest obligation is to keep his balance.
Jose Ortega Gasset
If a man were poor or hungry, [some] would say, let us pray for him. I would suggest a little different regimen for a person in this condition: rather take him a bag of flour and a little beef or pork, and a little sugar and butter. A few such comforts will do him more good than your prayers. And I would be ashamed to ask the Lord to do something that I would not do myself. Then go to work and help the poor yourselves first, and do all you can for them, and then call upon God to do the balance.
John Taylor (1808 - 1887)
Source: Journal of Discourses, 19:340
As the biocentric view suggests, the garden prospers when control is balanced by equal measures of humility and benevolence. A balance is struck. Control, servitude, respect, imagination, pragmatism, an ecological conscience, compliance, and a certain measure of mysticism and altruism all meld together to provide nurturance. Try to separate the various aspects into their constituent parts - grant any one of them the status of fundamental gardening definition and one soon skews the entire process. Put them back together again in the service of the two-way street called nurturance, and we express the state of grace called gardening.

As earlier stated, we hung out in Guana a bit longer than expected... but it was all for a good reason. After talking at Kidds Cove about our plans with GM, a couple sitting across from us heard of our plans to sell her and became instantly interested. Nicholas and Kimberly then contacted us right away, wanting to see GM, with interest in possibly purchasing her.
So, we brought Kimberly and Nicholas out to the boat to show her off. We couldn't express enough of how sad we were to have to let her go, but how we needed to in order to begin the next leg of our adventure on a larger, more equipped boat. While Great Mysterious is perfect for island hopping, we want to eventually take the next step onto the Carribbean and Central/South America. While that is quite a ways away, we have something to get home and work towards, that's for sure.
|She gets to stay in her Happy Place...
Kimberly and Nicholas spent a day on the boat and then we took them out sailing the next. They seemed to instantly fall in love with not only the boat, but with our lifestyle. It's unlike any other, and it takes a person with a true adventure sense to really appreciate it. After discussing the details and some numbers, a deal was made and a handshake was exchanged. GREAT MYSTERIOUS WAS S-O-L-D!!!
Between the four of us, no one could take the smile off of their faces. Nicholas and Kimberly, for a new chapter beginning, and us for one door closing in order for another to open. Dolby and I couldn't express enough of how happy we were with the situation. Instead of having to sail to Florida, strip her down, put her on the hard, and drive away, we are now able to leave GM in the islands, where she's the happiest. Fully outfitted and ready to cruise, she's getting a new owner who will love her as much as we do and use her to island hop here in the Bahamas, and possibly farther.
We've honestly been on cloud 9 since the exchange of hands of GM. Dolby and I haven't only found new owners of our boat, but we've met two amazing individuals whom we plan on keeping in contact with- a friendship that will last lifetimes. Kim and Nico are so similar to Dolby and I... it's absolutely fascinating. We've all hit it off, and have spent every day of the last week together having drinks, dinner, or just hanging out.
In the scheme of things, reality has started to set in. We need to get off GM, hand her over, and get home to Delaware. It's the exact definition of bittersweet. I find Dolby just staring off into space or rubbing the boat at times, and I can tell while he has a smile on his face, he's sad to let go of his "first love." We are in the process of packing up our belongings and shipping some home, while taking some with us on our flight home. There's a lot of work to be done before we fly home next Tuesday, but we're up for the challenge and ready. While we are so excited to get home to our family and friends at home, we are sad to leave the family and friends we've made here in the Bahamas.
We will keep everyone updated on the last bit of our trip, and our journey in finding the next Great Mysterious... while we've discussed different boat names, we just can't let the memories, stories, and expectations that goes along with that name go...

American midfielder Stuart Holden has undergone another operation to repair ligaments in his right knee and will be sidelined for six to nine months.
Bolton, Holden's club in England's second-tier League Championship, made the announcement Tuesday, eight days after the 28-year-old lasted less than a half-hour with the Bolton under-21 team against Everton. That was his first match since tearing his right anterior cruciate ligament during the United States' 1-0 victory over Panama in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final on July 28.
"Unfortunately, Stuart's knee has gone. His surgeon has had a look and has deemed this to be the best course of action," Bolton manager Dougie Freedman said. "We're all obviously very disappointed for Stuart, but he's a warrior and a fighter and someone who knows exactly what he wants to achieve. Everyone at the football club is right behind him."
Holden posted a letter from a fan on his Facebook page in which a mother whose 17-year-old son tore an ACL said her son had looked to Holden as inspiration for his own recovery.
"This is why I continue to fight and never give up," Holden wrote. "An email from a fan that brought tears to my eyes and strength to my heart. No matter what obstacles are thrown in front of me, I will conquer them."

Echinacea Leaves
Echinacea, the purple coneflower, is the best known and researched herb for stimulating the immune system. Thousands of Europeans and Americans use echinacea preparations against colds and flu, minor infections, and a host of other major and minor ailments. This native American herb has an impressive record of laboratory and clinical research. Thousands of doctors currently use echinacea for treating infectious diseases. Echinacea has a rich tradition of use by North American Plains Indians who used it medicinally more than any other plant. It was prominent in modern American medicine in the early 20th Century, and was discovered by Europeans, who have used it extensively since the 1930s. Today millions of Europeans use echinacea as their primary therapy for colds, flus, infections, and for general immune-boosting effects.

|The task of using molecular dynamics to determine the shear viscosity and the thermal conductivity of a model fluid is examined in detail for the Lennard-Jones fluid. The equilibrium time correlation function approach is compared with three nonequilibrium methods, Poiseuille Flow, Momentum Impulse Relaxation, and Reversed Perturbation Nonequilibrium Molecular Dynamics. The conventional wisdom is that the equilibrium approach requires very long simulation times in order to obtain statistically significant results. This study finds that only the Reversed Perturbation Nonequilibrium Molecular Dynamics method has the possibility of significantly reducing the simulation time required to obtain ``good'' estimates for the thermal conductivity. All of the reliable methods examined can produce accurate estimates for the shear viscosity with shorter simulationtimes than is needed for the determination of the thermal conductivity.

Be warned. Obama and his 'hate America' destruction team have always needed crisis, to crush freedom after freedom. Remember, years back in his first term run for President, Obama described our Constitution as problematic and dated, while attacking our very Star Spangled banner as too bellicose and bloody.
Our Constitution, Bill of Rights and Judeo Christian values are simply in the way. All people who stand for these and worship the God of the Holy Bible and His son Jesus are emerging Domestic Terrorists and anti Government thugs. They must be controlled, punished and stopped.
The Newtown Connecticut shooting was a hot button tool for Obama and the left agenda to destroy America and control what is left of our cherished gun rights. Already, radical Pelosi, and Joe Biden are crafting gun control legislation to betray Americans, our very 2nd Amendment rights and freedom in general.
Proposals emerging with Biden's Gun Control Task Force talk boldly about restricting our 2nd Amendment, government-controlled mental health services and governmental oversight of violence in society and culture. Josey Wales outlines just what Biden, Pelosi and Obama are making plans to do as we drink our New Years Eve drinks and plan for 2013. He states:
"The GCTF (Gun Control Task Force) will be empowered with propaganda studies and research proving that the federal government must do something about the American fascination with violence by rendering the 2nd Amendment useless." Further goals are stated here.
- • Over-all- gun restrictions
- • Permanent banning of assault weapons
- • Limits on the type of ammunition available
- • Federal mandates on background checks on gun sales at gun shows
- • Addressing violence in American culture
Obama has practically declared war on gun owners, our 2nd amendment and is already targeting and confronting the NRA. No doubt, he will also be in the face of Gun Owners of America and the 2nd Amendment foundation. He must manipulate and seduce them and their members or destroy them.
People, Representatives, Senators, Governors, Tea Party patriots, military — wake up NOW! We all know that guns don't kill people, people do. Just like Hitler did, using and creating crisis to first control the German people and collect their guns door to door, Obama is following suit. Obama will need more crisis and calamity to force people to submit to his gun assaults, so get ready.
My prediction at this stage
At first the full on assault will target only certain guns, and cram through 'emergency' changes to the 2nd amendment to diminish our ability to even use guns at all. Gun shops and stores will be increasingly controlled and threatened.
In the beginning as the first quarter unfolds, amnesty and money will be offered for people to turn in their guns, which will include more and more brands until ALL guns will be ordered turned in and registered.

Competition brings out the best in products and the worst in people.
David Sarnoff (1891 - 1971)
Contributed by: Zaady
The great menace to the life of an industry is industrial self-complacency.
David Sarnoff's associates in response to his urgings for investment in radio in the 1920s: The wireless music box has no imaginable commercial value. Who would pay for a message sent to nobody in particular?
Don't be misled into believing that somehow the world owes you a living. The boy who believes that his parents, or the government, or any one else owes him his livelihood and that he can collect it without labor will wake up one day and find himself working for another boy who did not have that belief and, therefore, earned the right to have others work for him.
We cannot banish dangers, but we can banish fears. We must not demean life by standing in awe of death.

Project Title: 6TH BIENNIAL INTERNATIONAL EOSINOPHIL SYMPOSIUM - "EOSINOPHILS 2009"
Abstract: R13 conference support is requested for the 6th Biennial International Eosinophil Symposium - "Eosinophils 2009", July 7-11, 2009 at the Hotel Crowne Plaza in Bruges, Belgium. These biennial symposia are held under the auspices of the International Eosinophil Society (IES). The meeting will host ~50 invited speakers and ~125 participants who are solicited to submit abstracts for oral presentation or poster sessions by junior scientists. A cutting edge program of basic, translational, and clinical research is being prepared by the Local Organizing Committee in consultation with the International Scientific Advisory Committee, and the Executive Board of the IES. The Symposium provides outstanding opportunities for presentations by junior investigators, and plenary sessions on the most recent advances in this biomedically important, diverse, interdisciplinary and rapidly evolving field. The Symposium features both invited state-of-the-art talks and cutting edge talks by leaders in eosinophil research and allied fields, and pro-con debates, from the perspectives of asthma, allergy, pulmonary, gastrointestinal and parasitic diseases, including the 3rd Paul Ehrlich Lectureship and keynote talks on future directions in eosinophil research. The focus is on both basic eosinophil cellular, molecular and immunobiology integrated with translational and clinical investigations on the roles of eosinophils in normal physiology and disease pathogenesis. Sessions cover asthma, eosinophilic GI diseases, eosinophils in tissue remodeling and fibrosis, new pathogenic aspects of hypereosinophilic syndromes, and old and new anti- eosinophil treatment strategies, and include discussions on applications of basic knowledge in eosinophil biology to drug discovery for eosinophilic diseases. The Symposium is a highly interactive workshop-like forum for both oral and poster presentations of cutting edge research by graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty. Most afternoons are purposefully unscheduled, allowing opportunities for extended scientific discussions, review or development of collaborative projects, and social/recreational activities in and around the conference venue. The Symposium will cover nine major themes: (1) regulation of eosinophil development, functional maturation and death, (2) eosinophil functions - trafficking, activation, and signaling, (3) eosinophils as central players in innate immunity, (4) T cell interactions and the roles of eosinophils in T cell recruitment and activation, (5) cell types sharing characteristics or functional interactions with eosinophils, (6) cytokines, chemokines, and lipid mediators in eosinophil biology and disease, (7) eosinophil-mediated tissue damage, repair, remodeling and fibrosis, (8) eosinophils in parasite infections, allergic inflammation, graft rejection and cancer, and (9) new therapeutic targets for eosinophil-mediated diseases. The central goal of this conference is to provide a highly interactive forum for scientific exchange and collaboration amongst junior and senior scientists in the fields of allergy, immunology, hematology, and cancer as relates to the biology and functions of the eosinophil in normal host physiology in health and pathophysiology in eosinophil-associated disease. - Public Health Significance The purpose of the 6th International Eosinophil Symposium, "Eosinophils 2009", is to provide a venue for scientists and clinician-investigators interested in eosinophils to meet, exchange information and develop collaborations to advance research in the fields of eosinophil biology and the pathogenesis of eosinophil-associated allergic and other diseases. The symposium showcases new research findings related to the production of eosinophils, their trafficking, their effector functions, the use of animal models to explore the importance and role of the eosinophil in health and disease, translational studies of animal model findings into patient-oriented research, an

The Lady Bulldogs were swept, 25-20, 25-17, by the Scott City Lady Rams on Thursday at the Sikeston Field House.
"It was extremely disappointing tonight, extremely disappointing," said Sikeston coach Steve Beydler. "From the start, from the very first ball in play tonight, we were flat and, except for a couple of small spurts, they just never really acted like they were in it.
"They never relaxed, never got into the flow of things."
Coming off the tremendous high of a first-ever win over the Jackson Indians on Tuesday, the Bulldogs perhaps suffered a bit of a letdown.
"I did my best yesterday in practice to say 'Hope you enjoyed it, but it's over and now it's time to get ready for the next game,'" said Beydler, who reached win No. 100 with the Jackson victory.
On this night, the Bulldogs (9-7) never led in the opening contest -- tightest margin of three points twice at 18-21 and 19-22 -- and held but a brief lead early in the second.
In game two, with Scott City leading 6-4, Sikeston reeled of five straight points, four on the service of Caitlin Underwood, to take a 9-6 lead. A close call on a Sikeston spike was ruled out, leading to a 7-2 Scott City run.
The Bulldogs battled back to tie at 14 and again at 15, but were outscored 10-2 the rest of the way.
"I don't want to say that they didn't want it because I know they did," said Beydler, "but maybe they wanted it so bad that they played tight."
Sikeston committed 14 hitting errors and six service errors.
"This isn't the team that I've been seeing recently," Beydler said. "To be a good team, you've got to be able to play consistently and overcome those spurts by another good team and, unfortunately, that didn't happen for us tonight."
Martika Davis led the Bulldogs in kills with five and Quinn Kaiser and Emily Taylor added three apiece. Setter Rachel Beydler carded nine assists with two kills.

Botox injections are being used to ease a new condition caused by years of wearing high heels.
The cosmetic procedure, familiar the world over as a quick fix injection to iron out wrinkles, is now being employed as a cure for a condition dubbed 'stilettotarsal', when pain hits the soft tissue on the ball of the foot, known as the metatarsal area.
Many women who have trotted about in stilettos for years are now suffering with the condition and being forced to resign their much-loved designer heels to the back of the closet, in favour of flats.
However, Botox injections are now being used to cure the problem, by injecting the chemical into the ball of the foot.
The increasingly popular procedure, known as a 'foot filler' is being carried out at the Birkdale Clinic in Crosby, Merseyside, where doctors say they have seen a 20% increase in the number of women in their 40s requesting the �295 procedure.
Marie Jenkins, patient co-ordinator at the clinic believe the treatment could become as popular as facelifts and boob jobs.
'This isn't the type of pain induced by a pair of new shoes but pain after years of teetering on high heels,' said Ms Jenkins.
'The balls of the feet take a lot of pounding in high heels but some women refuse to give up them up.
'They are an integral part of a woman's outfit and so women put up with the pain. But now they see they can do something about it by opting to have the extra padding.
'The procedure won't make their feet look any better but it will certainly protect the nerves and the soft tissue and make walking in their heels much easier.'
