I love eating outdoors as soon as the weather calls for it. A great outdoor meal to me doesn't always have to incorporate cooking outside (ie grilling) but, it does need to be simple and easy to transport outdoors. The below outdoor meal entree is not just INCREDIBLY simple to make and holds up to my outdoor meal criteria, but also was extremely affordable to make.
When Grocery Outlet sent me a gift card to try out some of their deals, I went in with no idea what kind of meal I was going to make. But, after just a few minutes perusing the aisles and checking out their ad I had a plan in place. I picked up all of my ingredients in one trip to Grocery Outlet and had the meal on the table in thirty minutes after getting home. Today I'm sharing the main course item that took about 10 minutes from start to finish. This entree would be perfect for an easy weeknight meal alfresco!

The Summer holidays are coming around quick (Memorial Day is this upcoming Monday!) and with that comes the opportunity to spend time with the people in your life celebrating, remembering, and just enjoying each others company. It likely will also bring together a lot of hungry people! Enter Chex Party Mix… Chex Party Mix is super versatile and can feed a crowd. I came up with a couple easy recipes for an "All-American Chex Mix" flavors in honor of Memorial Day and Fourth of July. Though, they'd also work for any get together or even as a great camping snack.
I chose Buffalo flavor as one of my "All-American" flavors just because it reminds me of Summers back home in Oklahoma. I'm a huge fan of Buffalo Chicken Wings—especially during grilling season! Check out my first "All-American" Chex Party Mix recipe below and don't forget to enter to win a $50 Visa Gift Card from Chex!
I really wanted an easy, "All-American" feeling Chex Party Mix to feed a crowd. Because I didn't want to overwhelm everyone with spice, I only used the Franks Red Hot Buffalo Sauce as a spice. However, if you want to kick it up a notch then you could also mix in a packet of Zesty Ranch Seasoning or a tablespoon of cayenne pepper. I used the oven for this recipe because I enjoy how the roasted cereal tastes. Microwave instructions for Chex Party Mix can be found on the side of your Chex cereal box.
Chex.com has a great site full of even more delicious Chex Party Mix recipes along with a bunch of other recipes that can be made using Chex! I'm also not the first person to come up with a Buffalo Chex Mix recipe… there are a ton of great ones out there. Mine is a fairly mild version that only gives you a little taste of that yummy buffalo sauce. Don't forget to check back again soon for my other "All-American" Chex Party Mix recipe!
The fine people at Chex are giving away a $50 American Express Gift Card so that one lucky reader can go buy as much Chex Mix ingredients as they could need for future snacking needs! Winner must be in the United States. Please read the giveaway terms and conditions for more information.

Purchased this truck crane on sale because I needed a way to load logs onto my 5' x 8" trailer with out hurting my back. Mounted the crane at the tongue end of the trailer and also mounted trailer jacks on both sides for added strength. It worked perfectly. I loaded three 16" to 20" logs by 8' long on my trailer by my self. A must have for the do it your selfer that does it by your self.

What I needed
By Pat
from Homer, AK
I'm using this crane to raise and lower my 60 lb kayak off our 10 ft seawall in Alaska. I built a wooden deck on top of the wall that I attached the crane to and so far everything is working as expected. The crane is beefy and handles much heavier weight than my kayak, so i don't have any experience lifting heavy objects. I've never bought a truck crane before but this seems to be a good bang for the buck. I'm very happy with my purchase and with Harbor Freight.
Looks like it is going to do the job it was intended for....
By TMJake
from Superior, WI
See all my reviews
This is a little early to do right now, but I just wanted to say that I bought this for some heavy lifting of stuff into my truck. I did a little modifying to the truck bed from some of the reviews left by other buyers and it is a lot stiffer now than it started out to be. The real test will be in a couple of days when I have to lift a 55 gal barrel that is about three quarters full into the truck. I am moving and the barrel has to go with me. I will add that the price was not outrageous either and they did a price match to one of the competitors.
Great addition to my pickup

My opinion on my new H/F 1/2 pickup crane....
By Mr. Oldham
from Mesquite Tx.
About Me Professional
This little crane is built pretty heavy just like it comes in the box . Paint , fit and finish is 2nd. to none , including the heavy thick paint on the unit . They did not skimp when they built this crane . I haven't got it mounted in my F250 pickup yet , just had it about 2 weeks , but planing on using it to rase and lower my Harley motorcycle in and out of my pickup for long distance ralleys here and there . I use to be younger than I am now , and didn't mind the longer runs riding the motorcycle , but now prefer the conforit of my pickup truck on those longer runs , but we like to ride in the ralleys with our fellow riders and friends . This little crane will make all that happen I belive .I am beefing this one I have up to pickup 2000 + lbs. I added a removeble 4 ft.section to the hight on the main 3 1/2 inch up right section , backed up with another 3 inch OD X 2.76" on the inside making it a total of 6 ft. in hight. And also , replaced the main lift slider beam with a new 4 ft. section of 2 inch X 1/4 in sq. tubing giving it a full 4 ft. retracted lift section. Also replacing / modifing the 3 ton lift jack and mount , with a long reach 8 ton lift jack.

I use the crane as a davit or dumb waiter to get firewood etc. up to the deck of my mountain home. The cost is way less than a marine davit of comparable quality.

works amazing
By Josh
from el paso tx
I bought this to unload and reload my tool box in my truck and it works amazing. I mounted it to a 3/8 steel plate and 2" square tubing in the hitch. I have done everything from remove a 350 out of a old chevy to hanging deer off it. I love it and will buy another if the time comes.

As we write this update, we cannot help but to be overwhelmed with gratitude at your support of the technology and science educational opportunities being provided to the students in Haiti. One piece of our exciting news is that on this #GivingTuesday, Microsoft YouthSpark is supporting our project with 100% Matching funds starting at noon today! Microsoft has $250,000 in matching funds, but shared among projects supporting children, it will go quickly. What an awesome opportunity to double our impact at our schools in Haiti!
Since our last update, staff and students at James Stine College have formed a committee of five to establish further opportunities for educational collaboratives with students in the US. We look forward to updating you on the educational connections that result!
Stateside, the Palmyra Haiti Technology Club has been busy organizing a load of soccer shirts donated by the CPYSC Soccer Club to be sent to Haiti. (The shirts are sure to be appreciated among all of the Haitian youth soccer fans!) Palmyra's Haiti Technology Club has also been busy arranging opportunities at local school and community events to raise awareness of the beauty of the Haitian people and their educational successes and challenges.
In our trips to Haiti, we have seen first hand so many young people that have the desire, dedication and drive to make the most of their educational opportunities; so much so that classrooms have filled on Saturdays for study sessions and peer teaching. The students at James Stine College and the Good Samaritan School are deserving examples of Microsoft YouthSpark's hope to close the divide between young people who have access, skills and opportunities to be successful and those who do not. Thank you for partnering with us close the divide for these deserving students!
Today's noon 100% Match (up to $1,000 per donor) through the vision and generosity of Microsoft YouthSpark will go quickly! If you are interested in this unique opportunity to double your impact, please give your gift as close to noon as possible! (Donations may be designated as a 'Gift' or 'In-Honor of' for Christmas Giving) We and the students of the Good Samaritan and James Stine College thank you for your support!
Dear Supporters,
It is hard to believe that another school year is in full swing here in the United States. In Haiti however, the school year has just recently begun.
On the Palmyra side of our project, one activity in the works is a spring trip to Washington, DC to visit the Haitian embassy and GlobalGiving. This visit will give our Palmyra students the experience of networking with government liaisons and a large-scale nonprofit organization.
On the Haiti side, this school year is one of exciting possibilities thanks to a productive 2012/2013 school year. Les Bons Smaritains is admitting the largest kindergarten class in their history. With the use of schools' technology, these 101 kindergarteners will have amazing opportunities for learning and global collaboration in the near future.
Thanks to Intel's IESC team visit last spring (GG Update # 21) the technology capabilities at our schools in St. Marc continue to grow. Consistent, reliable electricity and Internet connections challenge our project from time to time, but your continued support continues to help us make improvements to make our connectivity increasingly consistent.
An opportunity to stretch your contribution dollars is just around the corner. Please mark the date of Wednesday, October 23rd as the next GlobalGiving matching day. Starting at 9am (eastern time) all donations given that day will be matched by 30%. Please consider a contribution that morning.
Thanks for your continued support.
Dear Supporters,
Our project continues to be blessed with good fortune thanks to your continued support. One such example was a spring visit by the Intel Education Service Corps (IESC). Intel Corporation selects high achieving employees to be part of this elite volunteer service corps and we would agree that they are the best of the best. To find out more about IESC, please check the link at the conclusion of this update.
In preparation for IESC's visit to Haiti, students from our Palmyra-Haiti Technology Project conducted a Skype interview of one of the IESC team members. Our Palmyra students had many good questions and IESC provided insightful answers and further inspired our students to continue their own service work to Haiti.
Once on the ground in Haiti, the IESC worked at an intense pace. In the span of a week, they worked diligently to make significant improvements on the technology infrastructure of our schools and to conduct extensive student and teacher technology trainings. Here is a brief summary of some of what the Intel crew accomplished:
• Serviced 50 of our laptops
• Installed 23 software applications
• Created lab number & inventory system
• Trained librarian on Excel & created log file to manage books inventory
• Conducted over 15 hours of training with 43 teachers (PC Basic, Introduction to Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Educational Software)
• Developed Math based lesson plan & held first 2 math classes in computer lab
• Inspired students and educators alike in Palmyra and Haiti!
One of the highlights of the week was a combined Skype session between the students at the Palmyra Middle School and the students, staff and IESC crew at James Stine College in St. Marc. Students on both sides of the Skype session had prepared questions for each other and the IESC team. It was inspirational and a foreshadowing of more online collaborations to come in the future.
The IESC team also provided us with a report of strengths and needs of the technology infrastructure at our schools. As in most developing countries, consistent and reliable Internet connectivity can be challenging and that continues to be an ongoing need. Your continued support helps maximize the yield of the fruits that were produced from the IESC's amazing efforts. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of many! You can help us by sharing this update with others and by "liking" our Facebook project page at the link below this update.
Thanks for your continued support and special heartfelt thanks to Intel!
Dear supporters,
Your support continues to bring us unique opportunities and good fortune for our project. This spring, those opportunities were plentiful.
In March, we were invited to share our project during our school district's Palmyra Pride Showcase. Modeled after a craft fair venue, our project was well represented among many amazing displays. We even gave out free samples of Pikliz (spicy Haitian coleslaw) to share some of the culinary culture of Haiti.
In April, our project partnered with the Intel Education Service Corps (IESC) as they embarked on a visit to our schools in St. Marc, Haiti. IESC conducted trainings for students and teachers as well as provided many hours of volunteer service to provide technical support for our computer rooms at the schools. We were able to have Skype sessions with the Intel team prior to their trip and during their stay at James Stine College. We are extremely grateful for their generosity in giving of their time and talent to our project. More detailed information on the IESC visit will be presented in a future update. To find out more about IESC, please click the link at the end of this report.
As April drew to a close, our project was the keynote event at the annual Lebanon County Educational Honor Society (LCEHS) banquet. The theme for this year's banquet was Educators Reaching Out to the World. We received a warm reception and generous contributions from banquet attendees.
May brought us the opportunity to have a Skype interview with Homa S. Tavangar. Homa is the author of the popular Random House Publishing book, Growing Up Global: Raising Children to be At Home in the World. Our students asked Homa a variety of interesting questions about her life and her upcoming book, The K-5 Global Education Toolkit. Our project will be one of the projects that Homa highlights in her upcoming book. More information about Homa and Growing Up Global can be found at the web link at the end of this report.
If you have not done so yet, please consider "Liking" our project's Facebook page. A link to our Facebook page can be found at the end of this report.
Please mark down June 12th on your calendar and share the date with friends and family. June 12th is GlobalGiving's next donation matching day. Donations may be matched by up to 50% starting at 9 am EDT that day only. Any sized tax-deductible contribution helps our project.
Thank you for your continued support!
Dear Supporters,
I would like to introduce myself. My name in Nicole and I am one of the high school project managers for the Palmyra-Haiti Technology Project. As a student I am proud to have been involved with the project since the beginning. This project has given me the opportunity to learn about cultural differences and give back on a global level. It is truly amazing to see the growth and the community support behind our project since 2009.
Moving ahead, our middle school and high school groups have been working diligently. Although each of our school groups are separated geographically, we have been video conferencing via iPads. We have been able to accomplish a great deal through these conferences.
Some exciting times are headed our project's way!
GlobalGiving's first bonus matching funds day of 2013 is Wednesday, March 13th. On this day, beginning at 9am EST, GlobalGiving will match up to $1000 per donor up to 30%. Please consider a gift on that day.
If you have not had the opportunity to "Like" our Facebook page, please do so by clicking the link below. Please share the link with family and friends.
As always, thank you for your continued support.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has sent teams into Mississippi to tour areas where Friday's violent storms damaged homes.
Gov. Haley Barbour says the hardest hit areas, Hinds County and the city of Jackson, might qualify for FEMA assistance. He said other areas might be eligible for low-interest loans from the Small Business Administration.
Crews with chain saws continued working early Wednesday to remove trees that were uprooted Friday when five tornadoes whipped across the state from Vicksburg through the Jackson metropolitan area and over to Scott County. Other areas, including Meridian, had damage from powerful straight-line winds. No one was killed by the storm system, but 22 were injured.
Entergy Mississippi officials say about 480 customers in Jackson remained without power early Wednesday, when the utility expected to get service restored.

Warning when a game is about to be removed from the system
136 comments about this wish
I recently got the shock of not being able to purchase R.U.S.E. for a friend on steam. I haven't noticed it with Good Old Games as of yet, but I'm definitely for it if it happens to a game I love on GOG.
yeah, it should be announced with a clearance sale! So then everyone can go on instabuy :D
@rexcohen - Yes. The original Fallout games (returned last year) and Duke Nukem titles. Both times because of shifting of IP owners. For Fallout, GOG knew that beforehand and made a free game giveaway until they were no longer allowed to sell it. Curiously, Steam doesn't have trouble with this.
Has any game been removed?
This happens alot to mac versions of games, Fallout series was removed for MAC but still up for Windows. A warning would be nice.
It's not just a case of GOG informing their customers when this is going to happen as in most cases there is no warning that a developer is either no longer going to support a game or they go out of business especially if there is no publisher involved, i'm ok if steam, GOG etc tell me that my game is no longer available etc.
Well... I think that GOG remove games from its collection because creators ask GOG to do.
 So GOG will not say "Hey! I cannot distribute this game anymore. So get it before I remove it!".
This is a good idea for GOG.com to perhaps make a little more money — how many of us would buy something just because it's about to disappear forever? …… (For anyone who doesn't know, purchased games that are taken down from the store will still remain available in your personal library.)
On Steam there's regularly many games disappearing, and it's a complicated problem if a dev/publisher stop support a game and this game stops run well with new OS.

 I doubt any law will force a dev continue support a game on any shop system.

 But those shops shouldn't just hide from a library those game removed as Steam does. It's clearly weird even if the problem isn't simple.
There typically is a warning unless the publisher doesn't allow it. And even if GoG loses a game, it stays in your library, so Mat00 you have nothing to fear from that.
I'd like something like this as well. I only bought the Duke Nukem games on GOG because they were gonna be taken off (well that and the 90% discount). While the announcement was sufficient for me to know that the games were being taken off, I'd like a better, more noticeable alert so everyone interested will know about it.
Would be a good thing,
Not only GOG should advise us, but a law should be put in place to protect the consumer about it. It's like buying a Tv and two years laters, because of a change in the corporation who made your Tv, corporation peoples break in your house, take the Tv and go... No refund, no explanation, no laws to protect you and a lot of laws to refrain you to take countermeasure... Just like so many stuff in my steam library who disappeared or loosing right on games i payed for because sony or %$? sold it to another thief publisher like daybreak who told me that my ultimate edition didnt never existed and have no value because its not the new deformed ultimate edition they posted over the old one..... I'm with you and i'm even ready to work on a possible law protection for us ! You made a wish that no victims want to talk because pple who do so get banned and post erased.

 A guy asked on ubisoft forum why he doesn't have anymore Shades of Darkness with is deluxe edition of MMH 6, he never got a simgle reply in about 6 months. I answered is question 2 days ago and Ubisoft is already trying to force me to accept a new license agreement who make me aknowledge that i have no rights on what I payed for or otherwise i will loose my account and the rights to use my games lol. And by saying this, even if is a fact and not a discretional complaint and by the laws can do so, im risking my account lol. Push hard peoples, you don't need them, but they need you and they will never tell it and act like it until they have no others choices... Happy New Year !
Did anyone think this idea through?

 I mean, did you even start to think about the circumstances? If a publisher or developer of a game says, that you have to delete it immediately, than you have to do it immediately! You can't let the game stay on the page and wait 30 days, because the users have to know, that it will disappear.
decent, you will be missed
email twitter facebook many different ways to get the message if you have provided the proper info to GOG.... after all mass mailing from them would help many and GOG wold be in your safe list.......
+1 for this feature. Although if you absolutely need this there are ways of doing it yourself. If you redirect your save game folder for individual games to a folder on onedrive/dropbox. I use Junction Link Magic and it works fine. There are plenty other freeware applications that do the same thing.
very true, we need these kinds of things, first and foremost in a place like Gog.
Licensing issues has been a real problem with the XBLs and PSNs. Wish I didn't miss out on Outrun 2 for example.
I would really like this. Please have this!!!
Agree wholeheartedly. Please create and enforce a policy of a required advance notification (30 days seems fair, imo) to potential buyers when a game will be removed from GoG so customers can take opportunity before its too late.
After recent removal of Mob Rule, I would recommend a new policy - the game already present on GOG cannot be removed without a warning and the developers/publishers/rights owners must agree with that.
I guess this uncertainty about the future of certain games on GOG highlights how important it is to by your games DRM free. We can all download our games from GOG and no matter what happens legally with the game pubishers and no matter what happens to GOG as a company, we will still have our games!
You guys have to add this. I know you already notify people on the website for some games that are about to be removed, but others go unnoticed.
@Socratatus: No, not Final Fantasy XIII, but XIII: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XIII_(video_game)
XIII? Do you mean FF XIII?
sry seems that i need to write something to add a friend...
@Lin545: Games that have been removed from the catalog aren't removed from your account. I still have Blade of Darkness, Constructor, Fallout 1+2+Tactics, Freedom Force vs the Third Reich, Original War, and Re-Volt in my account, alongside all my other games.
Yea, the games(at least some?) stay on your download shelf if you already bought it. For instance Just yesterday I DLed and installed Fallout Tactics from my gameshelf. Not sure if it works that way for ALL games, but at least some it does....I've never noticed a game disappear from my shelves.
It would be EVEN BETTER, if purchases are made PERMAMENT. So that those who purchased them could download them anytime, even if they are not available anymore!!!
Yeah it would be nice as long as this doesn't give any legal problems
Yes, a removal notice would be greatly appreciated.
 When I have hardrive malfunctions and want to re-install the game on the new hardrive I would like the heads up to guide me to make the extra effort to permanently archive the game...
Yes, So if you bought Fallout series here when they sold them. They are still on your list of download able games. But nobody else can buy them.
so just to clarify...once you buy it its yours for as long as the site is in business and will not ever be removed its only some games that have ended the licensing agreement with gog that are removed from shop front but if purchased it will stay in your download tab as in on the shelf?

 just double checking so as i might have a heads up and start downloading all my games onto a hard drive especially if these are getting wiped without notice from my library shelf after i pad for them :(

 so yes just asking for clarification for purchased games?
It would be nice to warn us since there are many of us who would like all games that ever came to GOG in our libraries. *nerdy gamer*
they gave us a warning when Fallout was taken down.
could we still get notifications ??

 Pleas, freelancer !
 Where is freelancer plz add it !

Scratches: Director's Cut has been removed from the catalog without any kind of warning. As it seems, GOG can't always do this.
You can still download and install it, even when it's not for sale anymore..
 Software you buy here is like in the store..once you buy it it's your property..
 The shop simply gives you the license to use while acting as a cloud storage..
 Not the gaming industry, or any amount of lawyers can change the right
 of ownership..(unless you sell it ofc..)
 Don't worry..what you buy here will be available here for you to use..

 (in the case of a wide scaled disruption of service, by political force changing laws, at least in the EU, we are protected..OWN=OWN..
 if that ever changes..well..I'd say it's time for a French Revolution..)

like already suggested by FlamingFirewire why not just send an automated mail? If you have the game listed on your wish list, send an email "here the game xyz will be de-listed, buy it before it's too late".
We have come to 2015 now, and I have no idea how many games i missed out on because the lack of any information.

 As the guy beneath me says, it should be on the front page and even better, an option for an email alert.
A warning on the front page or emails and Facebook would be GREAT.
@stevezy There was. They even had a sale for it just before removing it.
Yeah, it would have been nice to get a heads up on Red Faction's departure.
This is now happening! http://www.gog.com/promo/last_chance_special_promo_270814
As much as I'd like such a feature, it's just not always possible. GOG did give a warning about Original War and A.R.M.A. (Even creating a promo for A.R.M.A. called Last Chance) one month before their removal and there were still people that had no idea that those games were going to be removed. Sometimes, there is just nothing that can be done about these things.
Yes, I missed Re-Volt and XIII. :'-(
Customer transparency is important. It's depressing when good games get removed from GOG or other digital marketplaces, but it would be awesome if GOG could provide a date and time within a red message box in the description or something to forewarn us gamers. :-)
This is useful, so goes an upvote.
I got Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics when they were free, i can still download them and the bonus content?

What does it mean to "embody the sacred"?
To me, it's finding tangible ways to express how a moment or experience is holy, just exactly as it is. That's the goal of my work
as a childbirth educator specializing in spiritual birth preparation,
as a celebrant leading ritual and ceremony and as a blogger.
In birth . . .
Do you ever wonder if there's more to birth preparation than medical appointments and shopping or decorating?
Would you like to explore birth as a personal rite of passage? (a rewarding pursuit even if you gave birth years ago)
Check out Embodying the Sacred spiritual birth preparation, available as a self-directed retreat in book form or a live four-hour program. Here's what past participants have said about it.
In life . . .
Would you like to mark milestones and transitions in a meaningful way?
In addition to leading spiritual birth preparation retreats, I am a certified celebrant available for weddings, baby naming/blessing, mother blessings, funerals, etc.
And check out my blog, where I write living the sacred in ordinary life, however that arises.
Bring Forth Your Birth Story — Free Self-Guided Retreat
I've long dreamed of a common language for telling birth stories, a unifying way to share about childbirth as a personal rite of passage regardless of where it takes place, how it unfolds, who is there or how many years since it occurred. What if we drew a big wide circle around all mothers and called every single experience just "birth"? Could we metaphorically join hands and create such a circle for ourselves? This mini-retreat hopes to do just that. Bring Forth Your Birth Story is an invitation to step into your own sacred space and spend time reflecting and creating to tell your unique birth story in a powerful, empowering way.


text: Finding Joy in the Lord I have a distinct memory of standing in my old, cozy kitchen in the small house we lived in for seven years in inner-city Minneapolis. At that time, all of the kids were young, so it was up to me to write out Bible memory verses each week, and I enjoyed decorating them around the edges with simple colored pencil designs. Then I would put them up in the kitchen or the kids' room, where I could read them and try to work the memorizing into my day whenever I happened to look at them. This wasn't something that usually led to worship. It was more like brushing my teeth or checking the weather—by habit, to tell the truth. That day I was leaning back against a counter, looking over at the words I had taped up on a cabinet and repeating them a few times—my highly systematic method for learning Bible verses: "You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand" (Psalm 16:11, NIV). The Word of God is living and active; it does not return empty.1 As I repeated this verse over and over by routine, I became aware that I was in tears, amazed by the truth in these words. God, in His mercy, had pierced my distracted mind with the presence of His love right there with me in my kitchen with the piles of dishes. Those words went out of my mouth as plain English words, and at the same time—by the power of the Holy Spirit—rose up in my soul as the living Word of God. Indeed, He filled me with joy. Peter also proclaims the words of Psalm 16:11 in his sermon as recorded in Acts 2:28. The Old Testament passages that are quoted by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ always make me sit up and pay attention. "You will fill me with joy in your presence" is now a beloved verse, reminding me that it is in our Lord's presence that there is fullness of joy, even though in my tired flesh and amnesia of spirit I try to pursue joy in other things again, and again, and again. About that same time, I realized that my prayer life could be anywhere that I am alone with my thoughts, and often enough this is over dishes, with the laundry, while nursing the baby, supervising baths, sitting next to a kindergartener with a workbook, or keeping watch over the playground. I have found that while I was expecting hard sacrifice and surrender in my life at home with my growing number of children, with the meals and the laundry and the homeschool day and the daily mess explosion with its endless cycle of often underappreciated work, that I have found, instead, a joy in His presence right here in the midst of real life. As I've talked with other moms about finding joy in the Lord I've developed my own list of things that help with this pursuit of God, always depending utterly upon Him to "fill us with joy in His presence." Tips for finding joy in the Lord, right in the midst of daily life . . . • Abide in Christ. "Pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks."2 Talk to Him as you go through your day, asking Him to guide your steps and supply all your needs. Confess your fears and less-than-lovely thoughts and struggles. Ask for help. Pray for your husband and children. Trust that the Lord truly is present with you, always.3 Cling to Him on your hardest days. Remember His promises! Look for and treasure the blessings He places all around you, and thank Him as you notice them. Ask Him to lift your spirits and your attitude and give you joy in Him. • Know His voice. "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me."4 If you do not know His voice or are feeling distant from Him in general, you can simply begin by asking for help. Ask Him to teach you to pray. Ask Him to make you want to read His Word and see Him and hear Him when you do read it. Ask Him to give you joy in Him. Don't "try harder"; ask your Father in heaven, who promises to give good gifts (even the Holy Spirit) to those who ask Him.5 • Drink daily from the fountain of His living water. Feed the Word to yourself and to your children. It is not "cheating" to have some of your Bible reading time with your children. Fill your mind with His Word so that your mind will rest there during the day and you can have discernment about your thoughts and ideas. • Find a time of day when you can read the Bible, a time when your children will expect you to do this. If you are totally overwhelmed and have not been doing this, even five minutes of Bible reading can be helpful. There have been times when my brain and body have been so exhausted that the extent of my prayer life has been, "Oh, help!" Many times I have opened my Bible, expecting nothing in my fuzzy state of mind, only to be met by the Living God. Consider beginning your reading with this Biblical prayer: "Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in Your law!"6 • Work on memorizing Bible verses so that God's Word and His truth will be with you wherever you go. Collect encouraging verses and place them where you can see them during the day. • Examine your heart. This is the heart of the matter. What are you thinking about when you are "alone" with your thoughts—in the shower, in the car, at the kitchen sink, in the laundry room, and during the late-night cleanup? Are they things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praise-worthy?7 When I find myself entering into unprofitable thoughts (which is often!), it is a wake-up call that the Lord has given me an opportunity to be thinking of Him, praying to Him about these very things, asking Him to sort my thoughts and to give me His truth and peace and joy. • Wean yourself off of habitual boredom fillers—those things we like to do during the day that keep us from necessary work and make us feel that our children are constantly "interrupting" us and keep our inner thought life from dwelling with God. • Bathe your daily activities in prayer, lifting them up to God. Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.8 Yes, that includes cooking and bedtime routines and dishes and prayers with little wigglers and the endless cycle of cleaning and diapers and late-night discussions with teens and laundry . . . and homeschool too. I thank you, Lord, that it is You who fills us with joy in Your Presence. For surely, we would not have Your joy any other way.

Skip to comments.Latinos Go Conservative
Posted on 10/23/2010 7:11:34 AM PDT by Kaslin
The president's pandering and fear mongering are not working, and the nation's fastest growing demographic is rapidly turning away from his socialist policies.
As if the White House didnt have enough to worry about, a recent Gallup poll piled on bad news for President Obama. At the beginning of 2010 the president enjoyed support from 69% of Hispanics. By May that number was down to 57%. Now just 55% of Hispanics support the president and his liberal agenda. This news by itself is devastating to the Democrats' prospects in the 2010 midterm elections.
But whats going on behind the numbers could possibly be a harbinger of doom for Obamas re-election in 2012. Across the country conservative Latino organizations are springing up as fast as illegal immigrants are streaming across the border. And these organizations are not content to just conduct meetings and complain about the liberal takeover in Washington. Some are taking action. In Dallas, Amigos de Patriots is launching an online and TV ad campaign called Vote your Values, Vote Conservative. The idea is to remind Hispanics that their ancestors fled countries where prosperity was killed by left-wing regimes. The 30-second spots also take on social issues like abortion, a practice that is dear to liberals and Democrats but that the Latino community at large finds offensive.
Another organization is the Conservative Hispanic Society (CHS). This group boasts thousands of paid members in nearly all 50 states, and its recent campaigns have urged Latinos to Vote Your Values. The reasoning is that Hispanics are conservative on many issues. They value a strong work ethic and dont believe the government ought to take an unfair share of honest money earned through hard work. On that front, they like to work and dont advocate liberal policies that destroy the job market. The CHS also believes there is no majority in the Latino community that sanctions abortion on demand.
The CHS has endorsed Pastor Stephen Broden, an African American, in the 30th Congressional District race in Texas. Hes trying to unseat liberal Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson, who is embroiled in a scholarship scandal. The CHS has also endorsed Sharron Angle in Nevada. The group event called Angles opponent racial Reid. That was a reaction to a recent comment from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid: I dont know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican. The CHS also prides itself on having members of all races in paid membership. The group says all people that believe in conservative Hispanic values are welcome.
It is tragic that so many Latinos whose families risked so much to come to the promise that was America are finding that the leftist polices that made them flee their countries of origin have now taken root in the seats of power in Washington, D.C.
The most liberal president in U.S. history has taken pride in his consolidation of government control over the American people. He calls it "change." Those first and second generation Hispanics, along with some from the third generation that know history, have seen this type of change before. But Obama has far greater accomplishments that will never find their way into a DNC ad. Without President Obama, and his special brand of radical liberalism, the Tea Party would have never been born. And thousands of everyday Americans would still be on the sidelines just living their lives. President Obamas greatest accomplishment may be the awakening of the conservative movement in the Latino community. Many are starting to take a look at Obamas change and are recoiling in disgust. This time, instead of fleeing, Hispanics are choosing to fight!
Many Latinos these days are 'conservative Christians' and they have religious leaders that are leading the troops to the Right. I think it's great. Fewer abortions, more family oriented.
Good! Now maybe they'll get the G-dam border sealed.
Not this b.s. again. NR had a great study during the Bush admin about how far gone "Latino culture" really is. Hispanics that are libertarian or conservative? Sure, like me, there are a few here and there, but by and large "Latinos" are in a competition with other race-oriented groups to see how much they can suck from the system.
Anybody that puts ridiculously unimportant and romantic notions about their "race" above anything else is never going to be a functional member of a representative republic.
Yes indeed, diverteach...the majority of hispanics in America want the stinkin' border(s) sealed too.
Dunno about that. Where I am, I'm aware that the religiously-conservative "Latino" churches are not by and large conservative. What drives them? What are they most vocal about? US gringos trying to secure their borders and how horrible the US is to their Chicano "brothers."
You said, "...but by and large "Latinos" are in a competition with other race-oriented groups to see how much they can suck from the system."
I humbly and respectfully disagree with you.
Really? Does that mean they are going to insist on doing away with the "Hispanic-American" moniker? Are they going to denounce and insist the disbanding of the Hispanics Caucus, LaRaza, MEChA, LULAC and all the other race advocacy groups? Otherwise their so called 'conservatism' is a bunch of hypocritical BS.
Empiricism trumps punditry and hyperbole. Sorry about that.
To start with, Mexican-Americans have never been monolithic. This is a very wise political move on their part. But when you ask them what they care about, it does not look good for either Obama or the left.
Like everyone else, they are very aware of high unemployment, and are distrustful of policies that may cause even higher unemployment.
Next, they have a greater understanding of the near civil war going on in Mexico right now. They, like most Mexican citizens, still remember their last bloody civil war, and they are deeply opposed to another one. This puts them on the side of law and order.
Mexican Americans are even very split on the idea of stricter border controls. Many are strongly in favor of them, for several reasons. Many, especially those with family still in Mexico, want at least the option of their families coming north. But again, the cartel wars are making the north of Mexico so dangerous even for border crossers, that it is becoming intolerable.
Then, Mexican-Americans also have America only issues that are far more mundane. But here as well, they are split like the rest of the country in how to deal with them.
Just got called away to the office. Convenient timing, perhaps....but sincerely unintentional. I will address this thread later tonight.
9:20am CST
Unmentioned is what these new groups believe concerning amnesty for illegals, and what they believe concerning border security and immigration policies in the future.
The is the same thing Rove and others used to peddle when pushing for amnesty for all illegals (and also fighting every move at border enforcement), all the naturally conservative Latinos, all those natural Republicans.
It's too soon to tell, and there's not enough information to know whether these groups are different, or whether they're just using a different approach from La Raza, but have basically the same goals.
Thru work, I met a Latino fella about 10 years ago. He was a staunch dem and got heavily involved in election matters.......canvassing, get out the vote, driving other Latinos to the polls.
6-7 years ago he started his own business, which has become very successful. He still gets involved in election politics, but now it's for conservatives.
Over and over and over again I have said that the Republicans must go after the Hispanic vote and the African-American vote very very aggressively. ... these people are not sheep, these people are not slaves.
We have some great candidates this time but we could use many many more. We have to encourage these people to think like we do, we have to encourage them to value freedom, liberty, prosperity, integrity.
I have many friends among them and not all of them are weak minded plantation slaves that enjoy being talked down to by the demon rats in the Democratic Party. Spoken to properly, preached to properly, encouraged properly, and they will go out and vote for the Republican and the conservative candidate if they have a chance and an understanding of what is at stake.
The conservative voting Latino is a myth. There are a few exceptions but not significant enough to chase.
Wishful thinking, assuming a national trend by looking at one man's poll numbers.
Hispanic numbers are just following everyone else's, and reflect Obama's cratering support.
Everyone's ashamed to admit they voted for or support the prez, it doesn't predict future behavior IMHO
We have the conservative Christian Latinos with us. I know a few in my mixed neighborhood.
0bama has the drug cartels and murderers.
I know who I want around me.
Latinos are certainly not a monolithic group.
In some cases, it depends where and why they came. Cubans and Venezuelans left oppressive regimes at home. Mexicans from northern Mexico are very conservative with a strong religious tradition. Those from southern Mexico tend to be more liberal with stronger socialist leanings.
Many first generation Latinos rely more on government. As their children grow up, they become more self reliant and subsequent generations gradually become more conservative politically. The one thing that keeps many from staying liberal is that they do not have the same poverty pimping race hustlers that are in the black community.

They should find abortion offensive. Reading Margaret Sanger's (Planned Parenthood founder) screeds, you learn that those of Mediterranean, African, and Asian descent, you know, Italians, Jews, Negroes, Orientals, and "hispanics", were her prime targets for population reduction.
She called them "the brown masses huddled in our cities".
Isn't that sweet?
What a darling!
The left has never met a genocidal tyrant that they didn't admire. Even Hitler is being "rehabilitated" in their narrative, because of his pro-Mohammedan, anti-Jew positions.
We have a neighbor, originally from the Dominican Republic but now a citizen, who has a handyman business. My husband talked to him for 15 minutes about why gas prices were so high, who had created the housing crash, and who wants higher taxes, and got him to vote for McCain for President. He even put up a yard sign.
There are no big races in my area this year - solidly Republican at city, county, and higher level. However, in 2012, if we get a *good* Republican candidate, I think it's reasonable to expect considerable support from Latino citizens.
But please consider the following.
Having a Christian conscience, I cannot endorse these things, regardless of the political party that advances them.
> This time, instead of fleeing, Hispanics are choosing to fight!
They have to.
We *ALL* have to.
The United States, in spite of all the attempts of the meddling busybody statists, is still the last bastion of freedom and liberty on earth.
It always has been.
Let us prey.
The Hispanic divide is Protestant/Catholic.
Bush won 56% of the Protestant Hispanic vote, and McCain/Palin won 48% of the Protestant Hispanic vote.
Ah the statistical lie.
Of the 41.3 million Latinos in the United States 2004, about 23 percent (9.5 million) identify themselves as Protestants or other Christians (including Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons). Moreover, 37 percent (14.2 million) of all Latino Protestants and Catholics say they have been born again or are evangelical, according to statistics compiled in the volume, Latino Religions and Civic Activism in the United States (2005, Oxford University Press).
They're the prototypical "cradle Catholics." And apart from the percentage of ne'er do wells that you find in any population, they're probably going to be the best wave of immigrants America has seen for some time.
Republicans completely blew the opportunity to reach out to them during the Bush administration. I said so then. I said they were being agitated by leftist organizers and that conservatives ought to reach out to them. But no. And, lo, it looks like 'pubs might find them "useful" after all.
Your post wasn't clear, what statistical lie, you never said anything after that strange exclamation.
The facts are that Bush won 56% of the Protestant Hispanic vote, and McCain/Palin won 48% of the Protestant Hispanic vote.
The divide between Hispanic voters is Protestant/Catholic, to keep ignoring that, and to keep trying to describe the "group" as merely "Hispanic" is to make it into an unusable category, and it makes it impossible to analyse what we need to do to effectively reach "Hispanics".
Is that some kind of joke? McCain only got about 22% of that Catholic, "best wave of immigrants America has seen for some time".
Your second paragraph is especially silly, Bush won 56% of the Protestant Hispanics, and won 33% of the Catholic Hispanics, why did the leftists "agitated" efforts only work on the Catholics?
it's never happened so far
and all that talk about family values and Catholicism is just BS from folks who must live in Whitelandia
I was married into Latinos...the only groups I ever saw approximate Conservative were older Cubans, rich South Americans fleeing war and kidnapping at home and a few Old Line Mex-Tex families of whom we have a few that freep here.
other than that they vote like Blacks
and "black" Hispanics like Dominicans and many Puerto Ricans do just that
pandering over identity is such a waste and we have fought over that here...bloody at times...for a decade now
I wish you could put your post on the forum's header.
It is amazing how many freepers here are such sheeple over this issue...sad really.
God bless you.
Identity politics is a tar pit.
Voting stats don't lie...look them up.
Wishful thinking about latino voting is foolish.
One thing though...I was just in Dallas and I must say your Mexican women are sure prettier than in Nashville.
We got all the short squatty Guerrero babes...you guys got the high blood Jaliscos
(formerly married to a lib latina)
yeah. hey, nothing wigs out FReepers like a remark about Latinos that isn't derogatory.
You bash conservative freepers, bash Bush, ignore the conservative, republican voting Protestant Hispanics, and pretend that the liberal, democrat voting Catholic Hispanics are "probably going to be the best wave of immigrants America has seen for some time."
Your remarks are totally derogatory, and are in an anti-conservative direction.
There are definitely latino Conservatives out there, but sadly, the vast majority are deeply entrenched in the Philosophy that the Democratic party is the party of Latinos and the working class.
They still perceive the Republican party is the party for Mr.Whitey only.
Apostle Claver tells the world how the real party of racism is the Democrats
"Anyone who thinks Latinos vote conservative is delusional. Historically Latinos vote 60-85% LIBERAL. The new generation of invaders and looters vote almost 100% liberal - they do not want the freebies cut off.
The conservative voting Latino is a myth. There are a few exceptions but not significant enough to chase."
I'm with you. I live in Arizona and don't know any Latinos who aren't fanatical Democrats. They are as in love with Obama as the blacks are.
Many of them at least just might be ready to listen.
I'll concede wrt Hispanics although they heavily tilt Left, but 90%+ AA approval of Zero and his disastrous administration says they *are* slaves, even if the shackles are between their ears.
My whole point is that where people come from and their background has a lot to do with why they come here, how they come here and what they do when they get here. You cannot generalize about the Latino population because it is very diverse. You are seeing one facet of the Lation population, I see another.
It's absolutely hillarious to listen to some political idealogue say the word "latinos" in heavily accented Spanish, while speaking English, then reverting back to English in an instant. It's done with a certain pretentious flair that connotes brilliance as if one is above the surrounding society.
It's like listening to someone describe his American citizenship in hyphenated form, or someone else describing another's citizenship in that way.
It all has a tinge of obnoxious political elitism.
The question is, if you're hyphenated, why don't you go back to your hyphen?
Just asking.
Reps are deluded if they think that they can gain any where near the majority of the Hispanic vote.
Hispanic Family Values? Runaway illegitimacy is creating a new U.S. underclass.

Tuesday, northern Holmes County, a dedication ceremony took place for a multi-purpose building that will be used during times' of emergency.
More than one-hundred area residents took part in the celebration of the New Hope Fire and Emergency Shelter. It'll also be used as an ambulance substation.
With the use of state inmate labor Holmes officials say the million dollar facility was built for less than $300,000 initially.
Longtime New Hope Volunteer Fire Chief Gwen Evans was instrumental in getting the state and federal dollars in place to build the emergency center:
The building is named after Chief Evans late husband, Homer Evans. The Evans and their children have volunteered their time with the department since the late 1970's.

Bangarang Release Candidate 1.0
The media player Bangarang has qualities that could soon make it the default player for KDE. This latest release fixes a few bugs and is compatible with KDE 4.4.
Among the features of the new KDE media player are mixed play lists for films and music and closer integration in the KDE 4 desktop. With the help of Nepomuk, Banagarang saves the ratings for videos and individual music and makes it available for other KDE applications. For example, the data manager Dolphin. For playback, Bangarang utilizes Phonon, therefore supporting all data formats of the Phonon backend.
The release candidate fixes issues in the meta data update and the album covers in ID3V2 tags. The meta data update of saved play lists now also functions as it should. Head developer, Andrew Lake, has also built in Dolphin drag&drop support, and added Chinese localization.

unlikely, he is not big enough, fast enough, or powerful enough to bother floyd. Unless Floyd is really declining of course. I just dont see the Ghost bringing anything PBF cant deal with.

An overly aggressive fighter will only beat Floyd if Floyd comes in old (which at 36 isn't necessarily out of the question). The problem I see for Guerrero based on how he fights is he comes straight forward and will be right in front of Mayweather. He doesn't have a strong jab that he'll use consistently throughout the fight. He IS a southpaw and they've given Floyd trouble, but Floyd figures out southpaws just like every southpaw he's faced.
Cotto was successful in spots because he cut the ring off on Floyd instead of following him. He also was pumping the jab and frustrating Mayweather noticeably. He was able to trap Floyd on the ropes more than I think he wanted to be, but a younger Mayweather would've stepped to the side and found his distance. Guerrero has I say a better chance than Ortiz because I think skillfully he's better, but as long as Floyd still has his mechanics in tune without transmission work being needed, he should win by UD in maybe a slightly less competitive fight than Cotto.

Can Robert fight threw Floyds power? If he can this could be a good fight or he gets out pointed 2 to 1!! Southpaw stance shouldn't be a problem because Robert doesn't box with his right shoulder forward and he doesn't slide to his right away from the conventional stances power (right hand). All things considered everyone knows they'll be in top condition and we'll see how Floyd reacts in the first 3 rounds and if Robert has moved up to a bad weight class for him.
I think Robert holds the weight well and that Floyd will need a few rounds to shake off the inactivity! Hope its 12 tuff rounds and the better man that night wins!! Ray.

As great as Floyd is defensively, I think you also have to be a great defender against Floyd because of how accurate he is. You may be throwing a lot of punches, but out of the 13-14 punches Floyd may land in the round, at least 3 of them are very noticeable shots as where people get excited when Floyd is simply grazed on the head. He wins A LOT of rounds this way more than being dominant early on.

Basically what will happen is, if somehow Guerrero pulls off the upset or it's a very close fight, a lot of people will say Floyd has been past his prime. But if Floyd wins, a lot of people will say it was the expected result. I think Guerrero will do a lot better than people expect. He's a young & tough fighter who can take a punch so he'll keep coming at Floyd throughout the fight.

Guerrero/Floyd is gonna look like Floyd/Hatton... it might look sloppy but Floyd should still come out on top. Dunno if Guerrero will get KOed though.
these are 2 different fights... I think Guerreros smothering style is more uncomfortable for Floyd than Cottos boxing style

First-half goals from Jeff Hendrick and Craig Bryson left hapless City with only two points to show from their last nine games at Ashton Gate, where they have not won since August.
And McInnes was unhappy with the way his side conceded the goals.
"It doesn't matter what formation you employ if you fail to defend crosses as we did for Derby's two goals," he said.
"We also have a problem at the moment with being vulnerable after we concede.
"By taking their chances, Derby earned the right to get 11 men behind the ball in the second half and that made it very difficult for us.
"If we had taken our chances it would have been a different story. Liam Fontaine and Sam Baldock should have scored and there were other opportunities."

jd55 posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi- new member here. I've just bought a Focus Ghia which is great except for the fact that I can't get comfy. If I'm near enough to depress the clutch pedal fully then when I put my foot on it at the top the angle is sharp. I'm getting sharp leg pains- in my left shin and ankle. If I move so that my foot is more comfy when i put it on the clutch it is too far to press it right down. The seat doesn't really lower it tips- back and forth but that is probably what would help reduce the angle of my foot/shin when changing gear. Is there anyting I can do? Could still exchange -tried a fiesta but there is no space at the side of the clutch for your left foot. The garage said all focuses will be exactly the same- i'm 5'7'' not an unusual size! Is there any adjustment there could be done to either the clutch pedal- reducing distance- or the seat- lowering it?

Arduino Shield Layout
By RichardInVA
August 22, 2009
August 22, 2009
I am planning to use a simple Arduino Shield for my next project. I would like to use DipTrace to do this. Before I start trying to measure distances between pins on the Duemilanove board, I thought I'd see if anyone here has a DipTrace file that could be used as a starting point for a shield. If so, I'd appreciate a copy.
If not, can anyone point me to a source where I can find the distances between the pins on a basic, stripped down shield. I've searched the Internet and (surprisingly) I have not found anything. I would have thought this information would be on the arduino web site.
Failing both, I'll get out the calipers and post the result here.
By robologist @ Sun, 2009-08-23 00:21
On the Arduino.cc site, in
On the Arduino.cc site, in the Hardware section, the various device pages each have links such as this one to zip files of the Eagle schematic and board files. Perhaps there is some method for Diptrace to import these.

Self-indulgence is blogging heaven
This morning I received a couple of comments on two old posts dating back to October 2005 and July 2006. Both posts have been popular for comments and email conversations. Neither is on topic — which are, Tech, Media, Publishing — and would fall into the very ample category of self-indulgence.
The first is, Hey, I'm a Viking, which tells how I discovered that I'm … erm … a Viking. It seems I have the genetic configuration called Baron Dupuytren's disease, or Viking Finger. Here's a snippet :
"This weekend I discovered I'm a Viking. … Yes, I'm one of those horn-headed, axe-wielding types who terrorized Europe for centuries. Before you run for cover, I'm not about to go on a spreadeagling spree or demand you pay me Danegeld — although that might not be a bad idea.
"I realized I've got Viking blood — as many in the British Isles have — because of a minor medical condition which affects the small finger tendon in the palm of a hand. This progressive condition pulls the small finger gradually across the palm, giving a rather gnarled, even romantic, impression to the onlooker. The figure of Captain Hook springs to mind. "
The second, is about an obscure Cornish author called Crosbie Garstin, now utterly forgotten, even in Cornwall. Yet, he wrote a major Hollywood film, China Seas (1935), which starred Clark Gable, plus a memorable trilogy about the Penhales family. Here's a taster :
"Crosbie Garstin is best known for his trilogy of novels about the Penhales family, published before the last war by Heinemann. The Owls' House, High Noon and The West Wind are all cracking adventures set in Cornwall and on the high seas in the days of sail. China Seas, his last book, continued the genre, and was made into a Hollywood film starring Clark Gable. Garstin was an interesting character, a true adventurer and traveller. He served during the first world war in King Edward's Horse and was commissioned on the battlefield in 1915."
It always intrigues me why some posts attract comments long after they were published. Clearly, these two contain specific keywords that are regularly searched for on Google and other engines. Syntagma is number 1 on Google for both "crosbie garstin" and "viking finger".
So doctors searching for medical information on Baron Dupuytren's disease will land on our silly post. Let's hope they don't kill anyone with an axe.

NEW DELHI (AP) - Scores of demonstrators demanded on Monday that the Indian government repeal a new sexual violence law the Cabinet hurriedly passed last week and replace it with a more comprehensive measure.
Activists said the law, passed by the Cabinet on Friday and signed by the president on Sunday, only followed some of the recommendations of a government panel set up after the fatal gang rape of a woman in New Delhi two months ago. That rape led to protests across India, sparked a debate about the treatment of women and highlighted the inability of law enforcement to protect them.
The new law has increased punishments for rape from the existing seven to 10 years to a maximum of 20 years. It also provides for the death penalty in extreme cases of rape that result in death or leaves the victim in a coma. It has also made voyeurism, stalking, acid attacks and the trafficking of women punishable under criminal law.
Finance Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said the government decided to bring in the new law through an ordinance - which allowed it to take effect immediately, though it will have to be approved by Parliament within six months - since it viewed changing the law as a priority.
"The government wants to assure everyone that before it is tabled in Parliament, we will hold wide consultations with all political parties before the bill is introduced," Mr Chidambaram told reporters.
The protesters near Parliament criticised the new law as a smokescreen, because it does not deal with the issue of marital rape or sexual violence against women by armed forces personnel in conflict zones that had been recommended by the government commission.
The new law also ignored the panel's recommendation to bar politicians facing rape charges from contesting elections.
"(The) recommendations came just a few days back and the government could have spent time on drafting a good bill... a comprehensive bill and brought it to Parliament with candor and sincerity," said Ms Maimoona Mullah, of the All India Democratic Women's Association.
In just one month, the panel examined more than 80,000 submissions and produced a 630-page report recommending amendments to the laws governing crimes against women.
The panel was set up weeks after a woman and a male friend were attacked after boarding a bus on Dec 16 as they tried to return home after watching a movie, police said. The six men, the only occupants of the private bus, beat the man with a metal bar, raped the woman and used the bar to inflict massive internal injuries to her, police say. The victims were dumped naked on the roadside, and the woman died from her injuries two weeks later in a Singapore hospital.

Now that it is down a bit, great opportunity to add here. Going in with he market order for 5000 shares and keeping the powder dry for another 5000 later. Still believe the breakout is intact. Watch this afternnon for short squeeze. Dont believe a word of Mark Faber, the gold hawk. TXT has a good backlog and a healthy upside with normal business execution.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
No kidding, just added 1000 at 29.22. Its a steal at these prices.
Sentiment: Buy
I waited for secondary dip to pull the trigger; missed it and picked up 5000 between 29.28 and 29.31. Will end the day positive from my purchase price. Guaranteed!
