"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." Proverbs 22:6 (NIV 1984)
My daughter, Hope, is a senior this year. And she decided her senior year should be adventurous and a little out of the "normal" box. A lot out of the box actually.
She withdrew from traditional school. Applied with the state to homeschool. Enrolled in online college courses that would allow her to get both high school and college credit simultaneously. And planned to spend the month of January serving in Nicaragua doing missions.
This didn't surprise me really. Hope has always liked charting her own course. This thrills me now. But it didn't thrill me so much in the early years of raising this strong-spirited child.
When she was really little I was scared to death I was the world's worst mom, because Hope was never one to be contained. And I honestly thought all her extra tenacity was a sign of my poor mothering.
One day I took her to the mall to meet several of my friends with toddlers to grab lunch. All of their kids sat quietly eating cheerios in their strollers. They shined their halos and quoted Bible verses and used tissues to wipe their noses.
Not Hope.
She was infuriated by my insistence she stay in her stroller. So, when I turned away for a split second to place our lunch order, she wiggled free. She stripped off all her clothes. She ran across the food court. And jumped in the fountain in the center of the mall.
Really, nothing makes the mother of a toddler feel more incapable than seeing her naked child splashing in the mall fountain. Except maybe that toddler refusing to get out and said mother having to also get into the fountain.
I cried all the way home.
Not because of what she'd done that day. But rather because of how she was every day. So determined. So independent. So insistent.
I would beg God to show me how to raise a good child. One that stayed in her stroller. One that other people would comment about how wonderfully behaved she was. One that made me look good.
But God seemed so slow to answer those prayers. So, over the years, I changed my prayer. "God help me to raise Hope to be who You want her to be." Emphasis on, "God HELP ME!"
I think I changed my prayers for her because God started to change my heart. I sensed He had a different plan in mind for my mothering of Hope.
Maybe God's goal wasn't for me to raise a good rule-following child. God's goal was for me to raise a God-following adult. An adult just determined and independent and insistent enough to fulfill a purpose He had in mind all along.
Today's key verse reminds us we are training children so that when they are old they will not turn away from Biblical principles, but rather implement them in their life-long pursuit of God. Remember, the things that might aggravate you about your child today, might be the very things when matured that make them great for God's kingdom tomorrow.
I've certainly seen this in raising Hope.
I don't know what mama needs to hear this today. But let me encourage you from the bottom of my heart with three simple mothering perspectives you must hang on to:
1. Don't take too much credit for their good.
2. Don't take too much credit for their bad.
3. Don't try to raise a good child. Raise a God-following adult.
And all the mamas of fountain-dancing children said, "Amen!"
Dear Lord, I know You desire for me to raise a God-following adult. Please give me Your wisdom as I seek to become the parent You called to this high honor. Redirect my perspectives and equip me for this task today. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

I am a magnet for strange. Seriously. A few years ago I was outside with my three dogs soaking up the sunshine. We had gotten a new puppy named "Willow" for Christmas. Well, our other dogs, Champ and Chelsea, weren't sure what to think of precious, little three-pound, Willow.
I don't like open heights. I can't stand narrow balconies. And when driving across a bridge, you'll find me hugging the rail along the inside lane.
My daughter Hope is one of those people who knows how to dress. She'll put on a blue and white striped shirt, throw on an army jacket and black pants, finish the look with brown ankle boots and look like a fashionista.
It's usually very subtle. I'll think about something I want to do or sense God calling me to, and a feeling of uncertainty comes over me. Doubt whispers You can't do that. You're not good enough.
What makes a woman tender also reveals her vulnerabilities.
What makes a woman transparent also exposes her wounds.
What makes a woman authentic also uncovers her insecurities.
"Rejection steals the best of who I am by reinforcing the worst of what's been said to me."
In Uninvited, Lysa leans in to honestly examine the roots of rejection, as well as rejection's ability to poison relationships from the inside out, including our relationship with God.
With biblical depth, gut-honest vulnerability, and refreshing wit, Lysa will help you:
Uninvited reminds us we are destined for a love that can never be diminished, tarnished, shaken, or taken—a love that does not reject or uninvite.

User talk:Janno
Hi Janno,
thanks for your submission. However, please don't upload single pages of a work. Combine all pages to one pdf-file instead. Are you sure the work is complete? ceillier5.pdf is a part of ceillier3.pdf, so if there are altogether 7 pages one is missing. Thanks, Hobbypianist 15:47, 24 February 2009 (EST)
- Dear Janno, I see Hobbypianist has already informed you about our not hosting multiple single-page files for a work. Accordingly, I am deleting these which you have posted. Please re-post as a multi-page PDF file. Thanks, Carolus 00:21, 25 February 2009 (EST) (IMSLP Copyright Admin)
Editing composer pages
Dear Janno, please be careful about how you edit composer pages. You cannot randomly and in any format insert whatever you like just anywhere. I recently had to fix your editing of the Jean Cras page after you inserted what you might have thought to be recording links. Because of your editing error, the composer's page disappeared from the actual list of composers. So in the future, if you decide to edit pages, please make sure that after editing the page displays properly. Thanks for your future contributions. Daphnis 09:37, 25 February 2009 (EST) (IMSLP Admin.)
Submission of works
Hello again Janno. I'm afraid to be after you again, but this time it's for your submission of the Jean Cras excerpt from Polyphème. Although we (and I) appreciate this submission, you have several pages that are rotated by 180º which means injury for those interested in simply viewing them. In the future, please fix these yourself before submission. Our doctors thank you. Daphnis 22:09, 25 February 2009 (EST)
problem upload scores
Hi! Thanks very much for taking care of me, I am really a beginner here! Do someone have any idea why I can't upload my scores? They are pdf,I checked the size limit,everything but it doesn't upload completely, maybe the imslp sever has problems, ... janno
- Janno, once again I see that you're uploading files that are problematic. Your recent Cras excerpt illustrating three: 1.) You've scanned this needlessly in color, 2.) Your scans cut-off notes on the right margins (that aren't always obvious) and 3.) You've submitted one piece in 2 different files. Please fix these few things and re-upload your score, and next time follow our style guide. Daphnis 17:58, 27 February 2009 (EST)
Thank you for fixing those problems. I have now approved it for general download. Thanks for your contributions. Daphnis 17:38, 2 March 2009 (EST)
Composer pages
Hello Janno, please note that the page IMSLP:Composer Template is the manual, so please don't insert data pertaining to specific composers there. Please also refrain from adding Amazon links the way you did. Links to recordings at Amazon are added automatically on the individual work pages. Thanks. --Leonard Vertighel 07:56, 5 March 2009 (EST)
Dear Janno, We already have a page for Schubert's Moments Musicaux, D.780. Please do not add superfluous pages for individual arrangements, but add them to the main work page with the originals. Also, check to make sure the arrangement you plan to add is public domain. Thanks, Carolus 21:30, 17 July 2009 (UTC) (IMSLP Copyright Admin)
- Dear Janno, once again as Carolus warned you have added a superfluous page for an arrangement. Clearly by your comment at the end of the Fauré Clair de Lune page you recognized it as being part of opus 46. We already have a page for this opus and so it needed to be moved. Please be double-sure you're adding works to the correct pages in the future. Daphnis 15:40, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
Hello Janno,
Do you have any idea who made this LilyPond typeset of the Waltz in A minor? We cannot allow unattributed typesets here, so unless you can provide permission from the typesetter or evidence the typeset has been released for distribution under a Creative Commons license, we will have to delete this. Thanks, Carolus 07:49, 5 February 2010 (UTC) (IMSLP Copyright Admin)

Hi Janno! Unfortunately, because he died in 1968, he's under copyright in most of the world, and I therefore had to delete your submission. You may want to read this page to find out what can and cannot be uploaded here. Sorry, KGill talk email 17:30, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
Page name format
Couple things :)!- don't move different parts of a different opus (Melartin op87 for example) to separate pages. Go see Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1, BWV 846-869 (Bach, Johann Sebastian) for a big example of how people contribute separate pieces of one larger piece to a page... Page name format- (example)
Adagio, Op.14 (Composerlastname, Composerfirstname) . (note where the spaces are) ... putting the comma just before the opus but with a space after the o will "kill" the page- have to undo the redirect and change it to the right one, which I think can be done...
Again, recheck IMSLP:Score submission guide/Manual of Style
Thanks much. Appreciate your filling Melartin gaps, very much enjoy his music. (Do you have his early symphonies or his string quartets? :) Edit: in score to upload *g* ) Eric 12:49, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
New Chopin Mazurka
Hello. I've noticed you submitted a Mazurka on the 2 Mazurkas page. Are you sure that is one of the two Mazurkas? I've looked at the sheet music (not in public domain) and the G major mazurka (the first one) was different than you submitted. But this is great you've discovered this Mazurka; and earlier version of Op.67 No.1. I might need to create a new page for it. --Lisztrachmaninovfan 03:48, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
Gounod-Liszt (NLA)
Dear Janno, This was published only in 1993 and therefore cannot be uploaded to IMSLP - less than 25 years old. For urtext editions, only items issued 1985 and before are eligible. That's why we had to delete it. Thanks, Carolus 02:44, 2 October 2011 (UTC) (IMSLP Copyright Admin)
Massenet's Eau courante
Hello Janno, thank you very much for uploading Massenet's Eau courante - that is one of a relative few of Massenet's works which I have never been able to get my hands on.

In the opening moments of Roman Polanksi's Repulsion we watch as titles drift across the eyeball of the film's protagonist, Carol (Catherine Deneuve). The camera proceeds to pull back as a despondent score plucks, thuds, and reverberates in our eardrums. Slowly a face covered with a thick plastering of who-knows-what calls out, "Have you fallen asleep?" At the film's conclusion, a carefully orchestrated bookend image offers an uncomfortable answer, suggesting Carol may never have been "awake".
The road trip has come to symbolize numerous things in the milieu of cinema USA. It's freedom, self-discovery, escape, or denial. Whether from Rey, Hellman, Peckinpah, Malick, Reichardt, or as depicted in a sea of sex comedies, horror stories, or motorcycle gang flicks, the road has unspooled across celluloid landscapes as yellow paint races by and voluminous clouds however in the distance. Though far from specific to the U.S. such a story had come to inform many New Hollywood filmmakers and their subsequent acolytes. And at their core, they are films about uncertainty.
There's been much speculation amongst the BGH community of what exactly Spooky School would look like. Now my friends, Robbie Pickering's Freaks of Nature has given us our answer.
The stylistic aping of 70s and 80s horror has become just as much a genre staple as possession films and found footage. More so prominent in so-called "indie" horror (or the more terribly termed "mumble-gore") you're now likely to encounter a pleasantly orchestrated synth soundtrack or the possible appearance of wood paneling that reminds you of getting real messed up on Mountain Dew and playing Nintendo Track & Field with your pals until 6:00 AM. Though you just used your hands instead of actually running in place because why wouldn't you?
For much of Brian De Palma's ten-year run from Sisters to Scarface he was positioned as the exemplar Hitchcock acolyte. Championed by Pauline Kael and rigorously appreciated by Robin Wood this run of nine films (plus or minus) has the reputation of some sort of magical constellation of New Hollywood technique, narrative pastiche, and "classical" film appreciation. Trading in improvisational comedy, raw suspense, sexual awakenings, criminality, and slashers, De Palma's work was something to incense or inspire admiration.
The chameleon tones of John McNaughton's films are the stuff of cult-moviemaking in progress. From his first feature debut, the incredible Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, to his comedic efforts, Mad Dog and Glory and Speaking of Sex, to the Holy Grail of late night movie rentals you hope your parents never watched with you. That's right, Wild Things. At best McNaughton's tones and diverse genre record draw comparisons to Paul Verhoeven.
First, there was Scream. Kevin Williamson's brand of self-aware, pop culture savvy teens quickly found itself replicated or intimidated to varying effect. Suddenly posters featuring brooding, pursed-mouthed pretty people stared at passers-by while a splash graphic of an obscured slasher figure filled the background. It's the sort of trend that got tiresome within a few years as it became apparent the resurgence of slasher films couldn't hold a candle to Scream's fun and complexity.
Unlike the vampire and zombie genres of the new millennium the werewolf film hasn't had an entry that stands as a true genre revolutionary since, arguably, An American Werewolf in London. There's no Let the Right One In or 28 Days Later for the werewolf. Instead the character seems to appear in one of three persistent forms, as genre window dressing in an already fantastic atmosphere populated with vampires, as an antagonist with a hidden identity, or as a sort of amateur detective resembling a grimmer Peter Parker.
There is a joke in Eli Roth's The Green Inferno that relies on the audience's familiarity with one of the possible side effects of smoking pot. Now being of the horror-loving sort around the BGH offices we've seen our fair share of slack-jawed, lovable burnouts that often stand in as a sort of audience surrogate. But pot jokes and cannibal films each have steep points of entry. Even if you are aware of what the iconographies of these things are there's not much inherent in them that will convince uninterested parties to appreciate the delicacies of graphic rending and blunts.

A couple of months ago I decided to go back to using Express-Scripts to fill my prescriptions since they are cheaper. I had used them in the past, but it took about 2 weeks to get a prescription through the mail and I decided it was easier to use Walgreens. Upon careful consideration I decided to give Express-Scripts another go. Big mistake!
First, my then doctor's office is very badly run and they kept sending requests for the same prescriptions, one after the other. I didn't realise thiswas happening at first. Then, I got prescriptions for three medicines that I hadonly just decided not to take anymore because research hadshowed me that these three may well have been causing my constant sinus infections.
I packed up the prescriptions I didn't want into a box and mailed them back to Express-Scripts. After about a week I called to see if they had received them and when I would be getting a credit.
This is when the poop hit the fan. I was informed that I hadn't asked forPERMISSION to return the meds. I didn't know I had to. I was then told that the meds would be destroyed even though they obviously hadn't been opened and that another shipment would be sent to me, even though I didn't want it. Am I now going to be charged again for the same unwanted meds? As for getting a credit, Express-Meds don't give credits. So, I was charged $31.00 for the meds plus I paid over $15.00 to mail them back. Of course, I don't expect credit for themailing but I do expect it for the returned meds. I called several times, the person on the other end would run off to talk to a supervisor, and the outcome was always the same: no credit. According to them it was all my fault. First I allowed the doctor's office to send in prescriptions that I had changed my mind on taking. Second, I sent the meds back withoutExpress-Scripts' permission. No, I would not get a refund and, according to them,I am the idiotand they are as pure as the driven snow.
I have called Tricare and made a complaint, like that will really do any good. I have called my bank andspoke to their Fraud department.When their paperwork arrives I will fill it in and send it back, but I don't really expect to see my money back. Crooks like Express-Scripts have all the angles covered.
I am writing this to warn everyone out there to think twice before dealing with such an unscrupulous company as Express-Scripts.Why, I wonder, is Tricare hooked up with them?What is Tricare getting out of this alliance?

Concerns regarding Express Scripts
AUTHOR: PharmacyGuy - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, February 11, 2012POSTED: Saturday, February 11, 2012
The first thing I want to respond about people mailing in medication. You must understand that this is a mail order pharmacy and not your typical local Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Publix etc. Mail order generally takes about 2-3 weeks for you to get your medications. If you don't plan ahead, and yes you will run out of your medications. It's also up to the patients responsibility to make sure they have at least 30 days on hand before mailing in or ordering. I'd suggest, it's better to have a little left over from your next order than run out. For those that think mail order pharmacies are urgent care facilities and can just process their medications in a few days, I'm sorry to say and don't want to give your hopes up however, it doesn't work that way. I'm appalled by the many customers that send in their medications and expect something in the mail the next week. So let me say this, when you mail in the Rx, it takes about 3 business days to get to our facility. The facility has to open your mail, that could take another 24 hours, then the mail order pharmacy has to enter your Rx's (another 24-48 hours) and try to read the Doctors chicken scratch before processing. When it's in for processing, it takes additional 3-5 business days (not including weekends), remember there are millions of other patients waiting for their meds too! We can't just cut you infront of line simply you lack poor organization and not prepared to have enough while its being processed. Then when its done shipping you want to allow standard shipping for mail order pharmacy. Sometimes you will get it in in 3 days, however, general turn around time is 7-10 bus days for medications.
Secondly, for those that want to mail their medications back without authorization, you will not get your credit. Why? Because medications rather its open or unopened, by law we CANNOT dispense the medication again. I'm sure you wouldn't want to take the risk by having medications being sent back to us and filling it for another patient. There are only certain times when we ask you to mail it back, that if it's only the COMPANY's error! If your Doctor sent in the new Rx and and we get it to process, we will fill it automatically, and no its NOT THE COMPANY's ERROR - It's your DR's error for sending us the RX to be processed. SO GO AFTER YOUR DOCTOR's office not the processing company. So everything is blamed by the company for processing the Rx by their request. Shouldn't you have a discussion with your Dr office? If you don't want your medications, thed DON"T send in the prescription. Patients like some of those on here don't take full responsibility for themselves and continue to blame...blame... because in reality it's their mistake. Own up to your mistakes and quit blaming other people. If the company had to give people back medications for everything they say they don't want when we mail it out, The company will go bankrupt. We gave over $3,000,0000 in credits last year for doctors mistakes and patients as courtesy. That's something the patient don't see and only believe it's about them. Again, we only do it for certain circumstances and you can help by following the process and procedures. If you don't want meds, don't mail in your RX's and don't put your medications on automatic refill. Take some responsibility and manage your meds.
Thirdly, I want to say that people don't read their d**n benefits. Before you select a plan make sure you know what you're selecting. If your plan has a deductible, that's out of pocket for your expense and people blame the company for charging too high. NO - it's YOUR plan, not the PBM. If your medication requires prior authorization, It's not the company's fault, its the plan, they put those restrictions on their to help save you and them money. Do you really need a brand medications? if you do, then have your DR office call it in rather than fax it for you. Are you on new meds? Then call in advance to know the price rather than just mailing it in, when the company mail it out and you say its too expensive. The company filled your request, based on the plan YOU SELECTED, and you want us to give you money for your mistakes? Some patient don't take the time to do what they are suppose to and want other people to cover for them. This is what America has become to be, Lazy, and incompetent of managing their own benefits. Americans believe they are so entitled to anything because they are customers, when they could easily prevent this by taking a few moments out of their day and read the benefits or call in advance to understand.
These are just a few things I want to express rather than the bad complaints we hear. Again, the bad complaints is less than 0.05% of our patients that we service everyday. I'd say, we do a pretty darn good job for mailing out 99.999 % percent on time. For those that don't like the mail order pharmacy, go to your local pharmacy and pay MORE for your meds, if you can't take the time to manage your own medications.
Thank you

AUTHOR: lealey - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, January 27, 2011POSTED: Thursday, January 27, 2011
I have learned through my own problems with Rx reimbursements that Tricare has nothing to do with Express Scripts. My local Tricare office has tried to help with my claim, even though they didn't have to and told me that Express Scripts is a separate contractor and they have no relationship with them.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Express-Scripts additional remarks
AUTHOR: Suzanne - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, January 02, 2011POSTED: Sunday, January 02, 2011
It has been pointed out to me that NO pharmacy gives refunds on returned prescriptions. This I can understand if you are using a pharmacy with a physical address such as a Walgreens or CVS. But, when you are dealing with a pharmacy over the Internet where there is no physical address, I think the rules should be different. I am suggesting that whoever is the power-that-be in Express-Scripts should consider the differences between an Internet pharmacy and a neighborhood one. There needs to be changes in the return policies for all Internet pharmacies.

Just used today but loving so far for how simple and effective it works nice job!
I was skeptical because of the bad reviews, but realized the developer fixed what they were complaining about.
The plugin is great. Easy to use, and has multiple functions for Webmasters. I will be using on all my sites.
Got to give them a second chance guys.
Thank you.
So far it's working fine. Please add more features.
Now it's just a light DEMO of a Premium plugin ... useless.
The plugin is getting useless now for me without the footer and header sections, it time to delete it and get better plugin.
I could't find the header field...what happened?
No header and footer, and Google Analytics tracking only works on Universal Tracking now, very disappointed with the developer.
why the footer and header sections were removed? please bring them back. excuse my English.
sadly and without notice and without showing respect to thousands of the users, the developer decided to remove the footer section where you can add scripts like infonlinks, and statcounter and so forth.
After the update I didn't notice that the footer section in the plugin was removed, until today. and sadly I found that the developer removed the footer section explicitly to force people to buy his premium version. I don't mind to make a premium version and I don't mind to buy one, but what I found very disrespectful and harmful is to remove the footer and headers section without the consent of the users who just hit update whenever got a notification. For sure I will not buy this plugin and I wont deal with this developer in future. I have to tell you this is unprofessional action and thanks

Cloud Trends
Grazed from SciQuest. Author: Lindsay Sloan.
"It's become the phrase du jour," says Ben Pring, former Vice President of Research at Gartner, of the term cloud computing. "The problem is tvhat everyone seems to have a different definition." So let's start out with the simple question: What is cloud computing? According to Oxford Dictionaries, it's the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer. Now, instead of using a personal computer to run an application, individuals can do this from anywhere in the world.
With easy access to information, automatic software integration and fast deployment, cloud computing is here to stay and it's growing. Companies like SciQuest, who provide products which are completely cloud-based, can provide significant advantages to their customers compared to on-premise solutions that other business automation software providers offer. As more and more organizations adapt to this technology – and get used to the cost and efficiency benefits – new trends have emerged and here are the ones we think are most noteworthy:..
Grazed from RedCommerce. Author: Editorial Staff.
Market watchers predict cloud spending will increase five to seven times, outpacing overall tech spending in the next three years. But cloud adoption will no longer be driven solely by the promise of lower IT costs. Businesses will move to the cloud for different reasons than in the past, according to Tim Minahan, Chief Marketing Officer, SAP Cloud. Here are three more trends Minahan highlighted during a recent SAP Radio broadcast, "Game Changers 2014 Predictions Part 3".
1. Not everything moves to the cloud
As companies accelerate cloud adoption in 2014 and beyond, they aren't getting rid of everything. Instead they will look to extend their existing technology investments. Deutsche Bank is a prime example. As keynoters of the upcoming Ariba Live event, Deutsche Bank will talk about how they extended the SAP environment with Ariba Cloud Apps and Ariba Networks to connect and collaborate with over 4,500 suppliers around the globe...
Graxed from Technet. Author: Adrienne Hall.
Previously in this series, we looked at cloud security trends in the financial services and healthcare sectors, based on survey data derived from Microsoft's Cloud Security Readiness Tool (CSRT). Next I'd like to discuss some findings that relate to the retail industry. IT departments at retail businesses are expected to manage a number of important security tasks, some of which have evolved considerably in recent years.
This includes meeting regulatory requirements, such as Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) specifications on protecting customer data, without diminishing the shopping experience in stores or online. Retailers have also expanded their use of technology to manage supply chains, operate web services and self-service portals, and deploy customer relationship management (CRM) solutions that can address their customers' needs...
Grazed from LinkedIn. Author: Reza Rahimi.
mobile computing is expanding beyond the traditional approach on voice and data delivery to encompass new classes of rich mobile applications and technologies such as location based services, mobile social networks, crowd computing, sensory based applications and wearable technologies to name a few.
These classes of mobile applications and technologies have quantitative and qualitative criteria of growing importance like efficiency and performance, scalability, privacy and reliability. Due to the resource limitation of mobile devices, cloud computing could be a good potential candidate to solve these problems...
Grazed from ZDNet. Author: Ryan Huang.
To help prospective users of cloud computing objectively assess the operational, performance and other critical capabilities offered by different cloud providers, the Asia Cloud Computing Association (ACCA) has put together a Cloud Assessment Tool (CAT). In doing so, it hopes users will be better positioned to select the right cloud solution for their given requirement. The product was the result of over 2 years of extensive and in-depth discussions within the group.
"The cloud computing parameters that determine critical operational criteria like performance and access are not obvious. We found that even when these parameters are reasonably well understood, there is no objective or standardize way of determining or measuring the criteria," said the ACCA. This was the motivation for a framework to help avoid misinterpretation or misunderstandings between users and vendors...
Grazed from ITWorldCanada. Author: Don Sheppard.
For some organizations, start-ups in particular, cloud computing will be the only IT game in town. Given the choice between acquiring, installing and operating a data centre full of equipment and buying public services on a consumption basis, the choice would be very clear. This choice, however, is not as obvious for larger, well-established enterprises that have already invested in numerous "legacy" systems.
For some leaders, a major commitment to cloud computing could be a very difficult and potentially risky decision. How about a simple thought experiment? Let's imagine what the cloud computing end game is – what it means for an enterprise to go "all in" with cloud computing...
Grazed from PCMag. Author: Michael J. Miller.
Competition is a wonderful thing. And the increased competition in cloud services – especially the intense battle among Amazon, Google, and Microsoft – is resulting in services and pricing that would have been hard to imagine just a few years ago. Over the past month, all three of the big players, plus a variety of smaller ones, have introduced new products and services for the cloud.
About a month ago, Google started this round of price cutting at its Cloud Platform Live event, where it cut prices on most of its services, some rather dramatically. Compute fees dropped by 32 percent, and standard storage prices went down to 2.6 cents per gigabyte per month. A similar drop in prices for its consumer product, Google Drive, gives you 1TB of storage for about $10 a month. That's quite compelling...
Grazed from GigaOM. Author: Greg O'Connor.
Cloud providers Google, AmazonWeb Services (AWS) and Microsoft are doing some spring-cleaning, and it's out with the old, in with the new when it comes to pricing services. The latest cuts make it clear there's a new business model driving cloud that is every bit as exponential in growth — with order of magnitude improvements to pricing — as Moore's Law has been to computing.
If you need a refresher, Moore's Law is "the observation that, over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years." I propose my own version, Bezos's law. Named for Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, I define it as the observation that, over the history of cloud, a unit of computing power price is reduced by 50 percent approximately every three years...
Grazed from TechAisle. Author: Michael O'Neil.
It is stunning to see how much corporate IT realities have changed in the last five years. Today, an increasing proportion of infrastructure is rented rather than purchased, sourced with OPEX funds from remote suppliers. Agility has become the watchword for new automation projects, and acceptable timeframes are no longer calibrated in months. End-users can source applications, infrastructure and other needed services from a wide variety of online resources. And workers are tethered to the corporate infrastructure by their smartphones and tablets, not by the cables attached to their desks.
Most of these changes are attributable in part or in whole to cloud computing. Cloud infrastructure provides the basis for OPEX-based, flexible-timeframe infrastructure rentals. SaaS providers are able to deploy new automation in hours rather than months. Mobility is not really a discrete initiative so much as it is a key attribute of ubiquitous infrastructure. And IT now competes for corporate IT influence and budgets – it is no longer the "final word" on IT/business solution strategies...
Grazed from EnterpriseTech. Author: George Leopold.
IT executives laid out the challenges and opportunities created by cloud computing, open source, and other disruptive technologies during this week's Red Hat summit in San Francisco. With the rise of mobility, social media, big data and cloud computing, "The reality today for the enterprise IT organization is it is a nightmare," warned Steve Bandrowczak, Hewlett-Packard's CIO for enterprise services.
Enterprise IT administrators must now hustle to meet the heightened expectations of workers who have grown accustomed to instantaneous access to data and video downloads along with two-second response times. The challenge, Bandrowczak added, is to "take that massive complexity and simplify it for our users and make it faster," while adding "higher value and lower cost."...

Hundreds, a fantastic puzzler from Semi Secret Software, is now available from the app store. The game features an appealing minimalistic style, challenging design, and dead-simple touch mechanics that provide a tantalizing experience.
Hundreds Pros:
- Outstanding minimalistic presentation and clever level design
- Soundtrack is very cool
- Touch controls are responsive and easy to use
- Challenging elements, tons of levels, and an Endless mode
Hundreds Cons:
- Lack of description of some gaming elements leaves gamers in the dark
- Small screen devices add a bit of a challenge compared to iPads
Hundreds provides, what else, one hundred clever levels where the object is to expand circles until their collective size reaches 100. Circles can move freely around the playing area, though initial setups will often see a bunch of stationary circles that don't move until acted upon by another force. Whenever you place your finger upon a circle, it turns red and expands, causing a counter in the circle's center to increase rapidly. When you release your finger, the counter stops. Circles can bump into each other or bump into other objects provided that they don't do so while expanding. If this happens, your attempt ends immediately. Once the total of all circle counters reaches 100, the level is complete. This could be the result of a single circle reaching 100, as in the first level, but it is more likely that you'll have several circles with numbers that contribute to the overall effort.
Failed attempts are usually the result of not noticing a nearby object or trying to squeeze every last digit out of a circle that barely grazes an object that you thought you could avoid. A bunch of challenging objects and intriguing elements are introduced as you progress, such as bubbles that you need to pop to allow for expansion space and buzz saws that immediately reset the counter of any circle they touch back to zero. Some levels start with large circles containing negative numbers that must be reduced, or with circles attached to other circles that can only expand when both are touched at the same time. It's wildly challenging and highly addicting.
The visual style is terrific, as gray circles carom around atop a white backdrop. The only non-grayscale color comes from the expanding circles, which really highlights the point of interest within the game nicely. A counter also appears in the background that gives you a real-time total of all counters, providing valuable feedback as to how close you are to the magic number. This is extremely helpful when trying to determine whether it's worth attempting to squeeze out a couple more points from a precariously positioned circle. If you are close enough to hitting the mark, it may be worth taking advantage of any daylight to nab those last couple numbers. If you aren't close enough, though, you may want to wait for a circle with a little more breathing room. The soundtrack is exceptionally good. Controls are strictly touch, with the occasional use of drag mechanics to move special blackened circles around the board to knock other objects around or act as a barrier. Some special circles can be paused indefinitely or for a very short time (like some buzz saws), providing strategic opportunities when used appropriately.
Replay value comes in the form of besting your personal records for quickest completion times or minimal touches utilized, both of which are totaled and maintained for each level. There are also a series of cryptic messages for the intrepid gamer to figure out, as well as an Endless mode to enjoy. We found that using an iPad made for a much easier experience, especially on some of the levels where the circles move at a fast pace. Play was serviceable on an iPod Touch, though targeting some circles or seeing around your fingers could often pose a challenge. Regardless, restarting a level takes no time at all and the game holds up no matter which device you play on. A universal app on launch sale for $2.99 (regularly $4.99), Hundreds earns a stellar 4.5-Dimple score.
Hundreds Review,

After a 920 mile drive, ready to take a shower and relax before the show, we arrive at the Budget Inn and check into the room. We then proceded to go to the room to find out it was repulsive. When when we went up to the room on the second floor there was garbage, broken furniture and even a old car battery laying around. The door didn't open unless you push it in then kicked it. When you walk into the front room there is a table with four chairs that are stained with who knows what, as well as two more with horriable staines which looked like some either peed on it or even worse, we could only imagine. All the furiture was looked like it was out of the garbage. The toilet looked like it had never been cleaned. There was maybe two or three towels that I would never use. I wouldn't even wash my dog in the bath tub/shower. There was ashes in the dresser drawers.
After all that and thought I had seen it all, we were outside with our truck and car hauler looking in a phone book for somewhere else to stay. (we didn't even want to be in the room)we saw women being picked up and dropped off since we slept in the truck we knew it was going on all night. I wonder why? We told the owner we were not paying and we are leaving he told us "its not that bad" and "I don't care where you slept you made reservations" We found some where else to stay the following night and we got back up to Michigan and got a hold of the Manager he basically said if you get a confermation number when you make reservations you get charged whether or not you stay. I asked one of the receptionists if she would stay there and she replied "I can't answer that" WHY NOT? because it disgusting. DON'T STAY THERE.

As soon as I received the package I knew it wasn't something I'd be interested in, and I can find most of it on the internet myself. Three days later I asked for a refund and they responded saying "why don't you try it full 3 months and if you don't like you can still get your money back...no question asked".
By now, I asked for a refund 3/4 times and no reply. These people should be found and punish for what they do. I work hard for my $197.00 that I paid them.

I signed up for what I was told would be a one free month trial with 1.99 charged for shipping and handling of the lists. I was told i needed to cancel by January 2nd 2012 or I would be charged a monthly fee of 29.99.
We still have not found a home we wanted so I kept he membership thinking $30 was not a bad price. I looked at my credit card statement a few days ago and found they have subsequently charged me nearly $240 from four different services over two months that I never agreed to. I only agreed to the CRN membership of 29.99.
I called them the other day and got a woman in customer service that said she canceled my service and that I would receive a refund. Then she said there needed to be an investigation into the recorded conversation? And said she would call me by february 18 or I could call her back at that same number. How am I supposed to talk to a specific representative when their customer service calls are pooled? I could barely understand her between the accent and how quickly she was talking.
I then started looking up lawsuits against them online and came to this site to see the same problems happening to other people and felt I needed to file my own report. Currently I am still waiting to see if they call me back. Though I will be canceling my credit card regardless.

Also after reading numerous reports on this site and others I've come to the conclusion that they will more than likely not be giving me back my money. So I went and have filed a report with the FTC to attempt to get it back that way, and hopefully the FTC will investigate this company and get them shut down.....again.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Definition of past participle in English:
past participle
The form of a verb, typically ending in -ed in English, that is used in forming perfect and passive tenses and sometimes as an adjective, e.g., looked in have you looked? and lost in lost property.
Example sentences
- You know,' he begins with a wry smile, 'when I asked my English teacher the past participle of the verb to tear, she hesitated, then promised to look it up for me.'
- Moreover, shut, in slam the door shut, might well be regarded as derived from the past participle of the verb shut.
- The same is true of an adjective distinguished from a past participle: an agèd man as opposed to aged 30; a learnèd professor as opposed to learned English quickly.

Skip to comments."Houses of Worship Free Speech Restoration Act" (H.R. 235)
Posted on 05/19/2003 8:10:22 PM PDT by webber
ISSUE: Ever heard of the First Amendment?
Apparently, it doesn't apply if you're in church.
There are limits to what your preacher can say from the pulpit -- limits placed there by the government. Now, a bill introduced in Congress seeks to change the law.
If a church speaks out on issues that the IRS deems to be too political, it risks losing its tax-exempt status. But the "Houses of Worship Free Speech Restoration Act" (H.R. 235) would repeal the authority of the Internal Revenue Service to revoke the tax status of a church, temple, or mosque whose clergy speak out.
Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC), who introduced the bill, explained how the problem of churches speaking out on political issues arose.
"Lyndon Johnson in 1954 put an amendment on a revenue bill that stifled the ministers, priests and rabbis from being able to speak of moral and political issues," Jones said. "That's not what America's about. America's about freedom. And we've got to have freedom in the churches." He said Johnson's amendment has had a chilling effect that fails to define where their speech is actually protected. He also contended the restrictions have not been impartially enforced.
"I think all churches should be treated the same," Jones said. "They should have freedom to talk about these issues."
ACTION ITEM: All houses of worship SHOULD be treated the same. They should have freedom to talk about any issues affecting any aspect of society -- including politics. Anything else is simply un-American.
As Rep. Jones stated, "This legislation goes beyond party lines and theological debates. We must not allow a government institution to have this kind of chilling effect over America's churches."
Rep. Jones' bill is supported by religious leaders from all faiths, and he now has over 120 co-sponsors on this simple straightforward legislation that will finally give back to churches and other houses of worship what was unjustly taken from them 49 years ago: the freedom to speak however they feel led to speak, whether the issue is construed as political or not.
Go to our site below to ask your Representative to support H.R. 235, the "Houses of Worship Free Speech Restoration Act":
Write your Representative
NOTE: Please be sure to forward this to everyone you know that wants to see free speech rights apply to ALL Americans, in EVERY situation.
Thank you!
ISSUE: Ever hear of taxes?
They don't apply if you're in church.
Perhaps they should.
Perhaps they should.
I really wouldn't have a problem with that. I am Treasurer of my church, and we are lucky to break even at the end of the year, and we already have to pay payroll taxes on the secretary.
Tha pastor takes care of his own taxes
Do you know, is there a way we can elect to run as a for profit corporation? we still wouldn't pay hardly any in taxes.
The founders would not have believed it could happen.
Oh, spare me your sanctimonious drivel, will ya?
Freedom of speech applies to government not being able to take away your liberty because of something you say.
What this article talks about is the IRS taking away your free pass on taxes because of something you say.
It's not that difficult to understand.
Count me, as well.
But no one has suggested that these folks would be imprisoned for whatever they say in church.
As a matter of fact, the IRS is proposing that they be treated EXACTLY like every other citizen, if they abuse the special privileges they now enjoy.
Yeah, THAT is what America really needs. /sarcasm>
[expletives deleted]
Hmmm. let's try:
Unions should stay out of politics.
Lawyers should stay out of politics.
Women should stay out of politics.
Judges should stay out of politics.
Minorities should stay out of politics.
Lobbyists should stay out of politics.
Politicians should stay out of politics.
Democrats should stay out of politics.
Out of all of those groups, I'd have to say that churches and minorities have done the least amount of damage to the Constitution. Get rid of the others first, and then we'll talk about the churches.
Every major social movement in American history has been preached from pulpits. The Revolution, Abolition, Manifest Destiny, Prohibition, the Civil Rights movement...you name it, churches were in the thick of it.
There is no historical nor consitutional basis for your desire for churches to "stay out of politics."
The better solution would be getting rid of the IRS.
Doesn't matter to me what religious people say. What matters is they have the right to say it without the government trying to shut them up. And that is what the left in America has been trying to do for the last 50 years.
I didn't care if Gore raised money at a Buddhist temple. I did care that there isn't equality under law and only Democrats can do it.
Why, because he helped bring down segregation? Here's a brilliant segment of his "I have a dream" speech:
This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning "My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my father's died, land of the Pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring!"In 1963, those words were sorely needed in this country. In any case, he wasn't asking for the destruction of our government, rather that it lived up to its promise. That promise is so prominent in the Declaration of Independence:
And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. So let freedom ring from the hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. -- http://bcn.boulder.co.us/government/national/speeches/spch3.html
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.King was one great American because he demanded that we honor what we believed instead of merely paying it lip service. The icon of King may be used in ways with which we disagree, and King himself may have allowed that to happen. But gagging him would have been one of the least American things one could ever do in this country.
It's important not to mix King and Malcolm X up in any way. I've listened to several Malcolm X sermons, and I've got to tell you, King was a healer, while Malcolm X was a destroyer.
Conservatism in 2003 should not be about going back to the old racist days where gagging was literal, as this lynchings by state map shows over the period of 1882 and 1927:
This reminds me of a great story about firearms ownership and how important it is to our freedoms known as the Battle of Athens, Tennessee.
So freedom of speech is based on your tax return?
You are completely right, comrade. In the Soviet Union there was the absolute freedom of speech. (Only not AFTER the speech).
Amen to that.
This has been a bill that I've been watching for quite some time. But are you sure the HR # is correct here? It used to be H.R. 2357, I believe.
Give up your tax exempt status and you can have all the freedom of speech you want. To hide from the taxes that everyone else pays you give up your right to deal in politics from the pulpit.
If anyone is limiting what can be said from the pulpit, it's the church itself, and that's only because the church doesn't want to render to Caesar.
When all is said and done, it's a matter of faith.
When all is said and done, it's a matter of faith.
Reminds me of preachers that have their wives and daughters review their "messages" to make sure there is nothing offensive there. That has nothing at all to do with the government and these "preachers" are more than happy to hide behind government rules.
First, churches are not at all prevented from speaking aout on any moral or politcal issue of the day. Those who claim they are are either woefully misguided or lying.
However, if they are registered as a 501(c)(3), i.e. non-profit, church then they are forbidden from endorsing candidates, most political lobbying, etc. This is the same exact rule/law for every single 501(c)(3) organization in the U.S. from the ACLU to the NRA.
It's not required anywhere in U.S. law that a church register as a non-profit organization. If a church does want to endorse a candidate, lobby, etc they can either deregister themselves or form a 501(c)(4) -- which is exactly what the ACLU, NRA and thousands of other organizations have done.
Instead, supporters of this bill want to carve out a special exemption for themselves -- and not other non-profit organizations -- so that they won't have to pay taxes but can still engage in political activity when, again, the real answer is to deregister or register with the IRS in a slightly different manner.
BIG BUMP for Rep. Walter Jones Jr. of North Carolina. He's an outstanding congressman and maybe we can get this bill passed.
I think we're missing the hidden purpose here. There are muslim clerics across this country, that are talking about jihad. Talking about our society and how they should tear it down and install sharia law. This is what is being talked about.
Surely you don't really think LBJ had any such noble purpose in mind.
Not whether my local pastor is talking about the Book of Daniel, the Second Coming, and how todays political make up sure looks like the end days.
Huh? I don't think anyone's suggesting the IRS rules make any of those topics the least bit off-limits.
My pastor can talk about the ME, our actions, etc, in relation to the bible.
But, if he wants to maintain tax-exempt status, he'd dare not preach about why, for instance, it would be a great idea to vote for Candidate A and/or a terrible thing to vote for Candidate B.
He cannot tell me to take up arms against our own government.
Passing this bill will not change the fact that conspiracy is a crime. The bill has nothing to do with crime. We're talking about tax exemptions and limits on free speech, about preachers and churches having the freedom to suggest that their congregations vote for or against specific political candidates or parties. Again, the only thing "silencing" churches today is their own lack of faith (some probably call it stewardship). My advice to all faithful churches is this: If something needs to be said, say it. The Lord is faithful; He has always provided for His own in their time of need.
There are some christian sects that speak of ZOG, and to overthrow our own governments. But mainly, I think they are seeking to deport those muslim clerics that speak warmly of jihad, violence, and the "inevitable" spread of Islam.
Maybe I totally missed the point you were trying to make in your post.
Are you for extending the bill to cover all 501(c)(3) non-profits or do you think that churches should be granted special considerations that others wouldn't receive?
We have become so inculcated with the notion of duty through taxation as to accept it as easily as baseball, and apple pie.
The Houses of Worship Free Speech Restoration Act would allow religious leaders to speak from their pulpits however they see fit without fear of losing their tax-exempt status. The bill was introduced with thirteen original cosponsors, including Rep. Robin Hayes of North Carolina's 8th district; the Majority Whip, Roy Blunt; and the Majority Leader, Tom DeLay.
Then you should tell your priest to either deregister as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization or to register as a 501(c)(4) & pay some taxes. It really is that simple.
It's what every single other non-profit organization that wants to involve themselves in the political process has done --- and it doesn't require passing any new laws.
However, if the bill was amended to include all 501(c)(3) orgs, it would mean that the ACLU, People for the American Way, Planned Parenthood, etc could all lobby, endorse, etc without paying any taxes. That would be the consequence of extending the bill to everyone.
As it is now, non-profit churches are treated exactly the same way as everyone else under these laws -- isn't that what people always say they want? -- for churches to be treated the same as everyone else?

I received the info on 4-14, and it said I had to refuse by 4-8 or I would be charged 59.95. I called to cancel the membership, and check at the bank for withdrawals on 4-15. No withdrawals had been made, so I made a stop payment on Distinct Advantage, just in case.
On 5-15-05, the bank said I was overdrawn. In their records, two checks had come in. One from Capital TAID for $59.95. Another from Freedom Gold for $149.00. Neither of these names appears in the Distinct Advantage info. and I didn't know them. These withdrawals were unexpected and destroyed my budget.
It is obvious to me that Distinct Advantage did not keep my account number confidential. They avoided the stop payment by taking the money ($59.95) under another name. Freedom Gold taking $149.00 is outright theft.
Since Distinct Advantage and Freedom Gold have the same address, they are connected. Since Capital TAID took the exact amount of Distinct Advantage's charges, I think they're connected. I called their Customer service numbers and the messages are almost exactly the same. You do not get a real person.
I've seen reports in here on Capital TAID and Freedom Gold, and their fraud. Now I'm adding Distinct Advantage to them. All I can say is I'm keeping after these people. I need my money back.

There are two possible scenarios for what's going on with the prime city land the New London Development Corp. is planning to give away before the middle of next month, and both are vexing.
Scenario One is that the chosen developer is proposing to "self-finance" the apartment complex at Fort Trumbull because it can't find any banks to lend the money.
Under this scenario, the NLDC has agreed to some arrangement by which the developer would somehow prove the money might eventually be available to build on the land it will get for free.
But no one - no city officials or anyone from the development agency - will explain how the self-financing would work and what guarantees would be in place. Never mind Freedom of Information laws that should guarantee some transparency when you are giving away publicly owned land.
I worry that Scenario One might be similar to what happened to the Capitol Theater, after the city gave it away for $1 to someone who promised to do all kinds of grand things to the building in a development agreement, but then did nothing.
Scenario Two, which I suspect is more likely what is happening, is that not only has the developer come up short on bank financing on a project that was supposed to begin last summer, but arrangements for the self-financing are not working out so well, either.
We are in the last stretch of delay mode, on a new scheduled drop-dead deadline of May 16, a date which was set in the latest development contract extension.
The project has also been divided into phases, with the first one now scheduled to create just 34 rental apartments.
Pretty soon, at this rate, it could be down to a two-family house on free land, about the nicest waterfront site in the city, with tax abatements to boot.
The NLDC (Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio has renamed it Renaissance City Development Association, but I prefer the name NLDC as long as all the same people and attitudes are in place) is officially silent on the subject of financing.
The agency's first vice president, a lawyer, asserted last week that information about financing would not become public until after a closing in which the land is given away has taken place.
Mayor Finizio was the first to disclose that the developer is now proposing self-financing.
The mayor offered this explanation last week, when no one from the development agency would say anything. But the mayor said he is not involved with the "details" of self-financing and could not say what guarantees would be in place.
He referred questions about financing details to his staff, who dodged them.
The only reassurances I heard, in asking about the Fort Trumbull land giveaway, came from a deputy director of the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development, which still has mortgages on the Fort Trumbull property because of the tens of millions of state dollars invested there.
Ron Angelo, the deputy commissioner, first of all, said the state would not put its Fort Trumbull lien releases in escrow with the redevelopment agency's attorney, as the agency requested, so that it could proceed with a closing without further state review.
The state will exercise its own final authority.
Angelo also said that, prior to closing, there needs to be a financing document prepared, and in the event of self-financing, there needs to be bonds or insurance or something similar in place to prove the financing is secure.
In other words, showing a bank account with money in it is not sufficient.
The developer produced a check Tuesday for the building permit fees, which is an encouraging sign, though certainly not a guarantee of funding.
No one from the Stillman Organization, which is proposing the project, has returned my messages asking for comment.
The company lists the New London project as one of four "latest offerings" on its website. The other three are long unsold Fairfield County mansions, not yet built.
The developer uses two different business addresses. One is on the site of a proposed $4.5 million mansion in Westport, which currently has a ranch house on it. The developer bought it in 2005.
The other business address is a residential penthouse in Manhattan. It doesn't seem to be for sale, but it was listed in 2010 for rent for $30,000 a month.
I never thought the apartment project for Fort Trumbull was a good one, not when the city needs more homeowners. I also didn't think a suburban-style apartment complex was worth encouraging with hefty tax abatements.
Still, the developer got a green light and should be able to proceed, as long as the public gets a look at where the money is coming from and the developer guarantees the money will be in place from start to finish, as the development agreement dictates.
Otherwise, the city is lucky to control, as the economy turns, much developable land in a magnificent setting that might even soon be across from a National Coast Guard Museum.
Why settle for less than best?
This is the opinion of David Collins.

Fond du Lac Ave. art project; flamenco guitar performance
Ties that bind
Fond du Lac Ave. ties Milwaukee's downtown to the northwest side of the city. And the In:Site temporary public art project to be on display along the avenue from 17th to 37th streets hopes to tie together the people of those neighborhoods and the rest of the city. "Art on Fond du Lac" features thought-provoking installations that put a spotlight on the area and the needs of the people who call it home. Included in the projects are a sculptural urban greenhouse by George Jones; a tribute to Mattiebelle Woods, the first lady of Milwaukee's black press; and a painting on the avenue itself (at its intersection with Locust St.) by Reggie Baylor. »Read Full Article
