I was in court for three years while the CSSD threatened to garnish my wages for the welfare reimbursement. I told them he committed fraud. The welfare fraud case against my ex was "confidential". The CSSD kept requesting documentation from me basically to build their case against me. I provided to the judge the documentation, it was date stamped and I had confirmations for each occasion. I told the judge about the fraud, my loss of wages, and the loss of a promotional opportunity based on the on-going court dates. I had to represent myself because I did not qualify for a court appointed attorney. I won the case in 2003 but my credit was ruined until 2006 because no one close my case officially.
My ex-husband was extradited in 2006 while awaiting child molestation charges in another state. He was charged with fraud. I then get a letter from Gloria Molina's office indicating he was charged with welfare fraud but was receiving General Assistance at the time, therefore, they were unable to request child support. I told CSSD he lives in another state how can he collect California General Assistance? The fraud unit did not want to charge him but a prompted call from the other state where he was also receiving assistance gave the fraud unit no choice.
I feel CSSD took this case personally because they were unable to get me to foot the bill on his three-year kid free welfare ride. They could not deduct the restitution payment from General Assistance because I proved that to be fraud also. The same CSSD lawyers who were trying to get me to pay are now in charge of my child support enforcement. I have received five payments in ten years, and the first three years were denied because the CSSD computer only shows my ex-husband as a welfare recepient because his fraud was confidential.
We had to relocate in 2009 due to felony criminal threats made against us by my ex. He was tried and found guilty of the threats. I had to leave my job of ten years at a moments notice and have not secured a job yet. He was charged & released with misdemeanor criminal threats. Even though he already has three strikes he is still free and once again apply for General Assistance.
I want CSSD to provide justice for the benefits of my child and quit worrying about if the defendants rights are being protected.

But I don't accept the "At least IndyCar has a dedicated broadcast partner" as a legitimate argument for how WELL they are doing with the broadcasts. If it wasn't them, it would be somebody else.

The broadcasts are enjoyable because IndyCar is (mostly) enjoyable to watch. Other than that, it's an absolute trainwreck out there. The camera views available to them (especially on road courses) are so bad that they literally have no idea about lead changes, or who crashed 3 minutes ago. They're afraid to criticize obvious gaffes by IndyCar officials or say anything too negative about drivers for fear of offending them. If I'm a viewer, I want the broadcast team to give me questions to the obvious, burning questions that a person in my position is likely to have. For example, "why did IndyCar/Holmatro leave the giant, bright yellow piece of carbonfiber wing from Beatriz's car in the middle of the track for about the last 40 LAPS of the Edmonton race?" This was obvious to the viewer, but the broadcasters couldn't even speculate.

I think it's obvious from having Wheldon in the booth (and to a lesser extent, Rahal) that you put a person with no history of broadcasting but lots of knowledge and insight about RACING in the booth, and they just blow the doors off of this cookie-cutter broadcasting team. I realize IndyCar probably isn't a super-lucrative contract, but I wish they could do better with the coverage.Jeff email@example.com

Fabulous food. We ate on the patio complete with water feature. The flies are prolific in Fredericksburg, so beware.
Food and service were fantastic. I had the coconut shrimp with beef tenderloin and my husband had the chicken fried ribeye steak topped with the lobster in a cream sauce. Through the recommendation of the waitress we enjoyed a wonderful wine with our meal. Everything well worth the money!
Very nice and congenial waitress, very good food and wine gallore. A bit pricey, but is probably the nicest restaurant in the area.
Delicious food. Wonderful service - the waitress we had was attentive without being annoying/overbearing, and very knowledgeable. Great experience!
This is our favorite place to eat when we are treating ourselves. A little pricy, but you definitely get what you pay for! I love the grapefruit spinach salad. We especially love the dinner that has three meats, beef, pork loin, and quail. The portions are so big that we each get a salad and then share the entree! Have also had their buffalo enchiladas in the past. One order is enough for two people! Great selection of Texas wines also, and great atmosphere. Service is impeccable!

Welcome to Sharp's Country Store...
...on the historic Sharp farm in Pocahontas County, West Virginia.
On June 23, 2016, the Sharp Farm and Sharp's Country Store were hit with a ONE THOUSAND YEAR FLOOD!
Our beloved Sharp's 'KISSING BRIDGE' was damaged in the flood and two feet of water surrounded the store. Clean up has been quite a chore, but we are back up on our feet and open for business!
We have decided to rebuild the 'KISSING BRIDGE'. Some friends and customers have asked how they can help. If you would like to be part of the effort to sponsor this project, please contact us and we will provide you with the information you may need to participate. Many West Virginians suffered far worse damage and a few of our customers experienced tragic loss. We encourage you to, first, contribute to West Virginia flood recovery efforts to assist those still in need.
Times like these remind us of the fragility of our time here on this earth and we are very grateful for friends and family. We look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones at Sharp's Country Store in the coming months
July is proving to be an exciting month at Sharp's Country Store. We were pleased to be visited by the DIXIE BLUE, Country Americana musicians LYNN BRAINARD and JEFF MILLER. Jeff bought an amplifier we had for sale and then to test it out they played for us! Your Cheatin' Heart and a Bayou song filled the room for several minutes with uplifting tunes. Thank you, Lynn and Jeff. We enjoyed every minute of your visit! (DixieBlueMusic.Com)
We were excited to have Terry Burhans from ROAD TRIPPIN at WSCH TV, Charleston, West Virginia here. You can view the interview from the TV Show (Channel 8 ABC and Channel 11 FOX) and then choose SHARPS COUNTRY STORE under the viewer! Thanks, also, to Troy, the cameraman. It is so great to see two fellows that really enjoy what they do. Kudos to them.
Bertie Jane Cutlip now has a fifth book of poetry featuring the Sharp Farm House on the front cover. Inside, you will find SHARP'S STORE AT SLATY FORK as one of the entries. Bertie is an authentic West Virginia poet. We met her at the West Virginia Forest Festival as she recited her poems to a very large group of folks. You may view Bertie on some recently taken videos on You Tube via Roger Gosden's most interesting website at: http://rogergosden.com/ . Bertie's books of poems (there are now 5 books) are available at Sharp's Country Store for $9.99 each. You may order by calling 304 572 3547. Many thanks to Roger for making Bertie's wonderful works available to the viewing public. I dare you to view each You Tube video without tearing up a bit. She is almost 90 years old and she is still sharing her gifts with those who will take a moment or two to listen to her poetry.
Dan McKee, owner of Insomniac Design, stands with Matt, left, and Brandy, center. Sharp's Country Store is so grateful for their help getting the much needed Sharp's Country Store Billboard Project off the ground! From inception of design to completion, we thank them for their generosity, stamina and perseverance!
The Sharp Family of Slatyfork is featured in the JULY 2013 issue of WONDERFUL WEST VIRGINIA Magazine! Visit Sharp's Country Store and take a tour of the log home behind the store. It is the subject of the recently discovered Civil War history featured in the article.
My name is Tom Shipley, and L. D. Sharp was my great grandfather. And today, I own and operate Sharp's Country Store for my generation.
Many of our handmade goods can be purchased by phone. Please give us a call at 304 572 3547 and we will be happy to help you with an order or answer questions. We hope you'll stop on in soon!
Welcome to the Sharp Farm!
Whether Harley, Honda or Hog....the Sharp family LOVES motorcycles and the riders that arrive on them! Picture to the right is my great uncle, Paul Sharp, on a YALE motorcycle.

Thanks! A tip o' the hat to ye </:-0 . This inspired me to get back to learning bashscripts at bashscripts.org. I've been neglecting my mind and forgot how to even run a script :-( JimmyK
Syntax error?
Copied/pasted script text to new file as well as tired saving/renaming article link for script text to new file. When run:
happy4j.sh: 5: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty
Not Bash
At some point Ubuntu stopped making bash the default shell and changed to dash, so if you run the script via "sh happy4j.sh" you end up running it with dash rather than bash. Run it via "bash happy4j.sh" or make it executable with "chmod +x happy4j.sh" and then run it directly via "./happy4j.sh".
I'm not an Ubuntu user so I tend to assume that sh == bash... I probably should stop doing that.
So you may be wondering "what's the value of the shebang (#!) at the top of a script if it doesn't work with all shells?" Well, the answer is that the shebang is not understood by shells: it's understood by the O/S itself. That's why making the script executable and running it directly works.
When the O/S (Linux) opens an executable file (something that has the x bit set) it reads the first two bytes and checks to see if they are equal to "#!". If they are equal, the O/S then executes the program specified in the remainder of the first line rather than the original file and passes the original file name to it as an argument.

Thanks! Left my bash prompt
Left my bash prompt a red colour after the show - or maybe that's just my eyes having been dazzled ;)
Reset Color on Exit
Add the following line to the end of the script.
echo -n -e "\e[m"
That should reset the color.

Retro ASCII Goodness
Ahhh, this brings back memories of getting the latest computer mag in the 80s, typing in the listing, and hoping for the best. Now, though, I can copy and paste from a web browser into vim, save, chmod, and sit back and enjoy the show.
Very nice old skool display. Thanks!

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

It's not a game. It's a world.
Articles World of Warcraft
World of Warcaft is not just a game. It's a huge online role-playing game enjoyed by millions of people worldwide.
The story of World of Warcraft began in 1994 with the launch of Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, a real-time strategy adventure. Ten years and a few sequels later the series took the leap onto the online world with World of Warcraft, which has nowadays become the world's leading MMORPG.
Being a subscription-based and online-only title, the first thing you must do after installing World of Warcraft is to open a Battle.
net account and activate it with your credit card. Then launch the game, enter your username and password on the welcome screen and you'll be ready to join the adventure.
Your first steps in World of Warcraft obviously include the creation of a character and the selection of the realm (that is, the server) where you're going to play.
These are both important choices, as they will define the way you play World of Warcraft. For instance, playing as a warrior, who can withstand the most powerful attacks, is certainly not the same as playing as a priest, who specializes in healing other players.
Also, if you choose a PVP server (rather than a PVE one) you must be ready to fight other players as well as computer-controlled monsters.
This is just the reflection of the battle between Alliance and Horde, the two warring factions in World of Warcraft.
Once your character appears on Azeroth, World of Warcraft's imaginary universe, you're free to move around, explore the land or talk to other players, making use of the game's extensive social component.
Your main goal in World of Warcraft is to raise your character from level 1 up to level 70, earning experience points by killing monsters and doing quests which may range from gathering a few flowers to killing a fearsome dragon hidden in its den.
The higher the level, the better the game objects (weapons, armor, spells, etc. ) you can use. Eventually you'll be able to buy the most expensive items in World of Warcraft, like a flying mount, and enter the most dangerous raids, some of which can only be successfully finished with a very well organized team of 40 players.
If you don't like the levelling race, you can also enjoy other ways of playing World of Warcraft: engage in capture-the-flag competitions between Alliance and Horde in the so called Battlegrounds, earn World of Warcraft money by selling game objects in the Auction House or achieve the Artisan level in whichever profession you choose for your character, like skinning, herbalism, cooking or jewelcrafting.
As for graphics, World of Warcraft displays extraordinary landscapes ranging from the snow-covered slopes of Dun Morogh to the jungle-like lands of Strangleton Vale or the desert plains of Tanaris. The atmosphere is enriched by natural sounds and excellent background music.
In short, World of Warcraft is a great adventure which can be played in many different ways.
This review analyses World of Warcraft as a standalone game. Besides the game, there are three expansion sets: Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm.
- Different ways to play
- Many missions to accomplish
- High social component
- It has no offline mode
- It may get too addictive

I think it's an excellent strategy game, especially for those in the service of our country.

LO is walking on full swing. where can we buy shoes from? How much should they cost? I was looking for more like stride rites in US. what are the similar place/price in Germany
Where can I buy LO's shoes here?
Most shoe stores will have the most common brands. Shoes are expensive over here. Expect to pay 40-60 Euros a pair. I am not sure if prices have climbed because my kids' feet are bigger or because of inflation.
Brands I can think of:
Geox (runs wide)
And another brand that has a red squiggle on the bottom of the heel, but I can't remember the name of them.
Do you have a German person who can help you with shopping? I can recommend Amazon.de I love the brand Primigi (nice leather and they don't use chrome), they run small and I bought the wrong size and could return them without any trouble but you need to be able to read German to do that. Another great online store is Zalando.de unfortunately no English there either. There is a Swedish online shop who ships internationally, they have English pages and certified eco shoes for kids. www.kavat.com/
Online stores usually are much cheaper than buying them in a shoe store in the city.
I personally don't buy Geox, I've read an article about their kids sneakers. They have been tested and have a lot of harmful chemicals in them. I wouldn't recommend to wear them barfoot.
In which city are you located?
You can get kids shoes in most shoe stores. I just went through the whole let's-find-some-shoes stage. I got DS a good pair of summer shoes from Hush Puppy (the brand) they were 40 Euros but are really nice, all leather, nice flexible soles etc. For his sandals I went in between and spend 30 Euros - they are decent too and because I am pretty sure they won't fit all summer I was fine with it.
As far as I can tell you can spend a LOT of money on some name brand shoes - I have seen some Naturalino (or something along that line) for 100 Euros. But looking at the Elephant shoes you can find at Deichman I think they are very nice and decent and you won't spend a fortune.
Most big department shoes have also kids shoes.

I've also not heard great things about Geox. One saleslady (at a store that sold A LOT of Geox shoes) that she never recommends them and that people only buy them for the name. They fall apart faster.
I've had great luck with Elephant and KangaRoos for little feet and I never pay more than 30Euros. I jsut bought DD a pair of Kangaroos for 25 that are great. Elephants are the only quality brand at Deichmann's and KangaRoos you can find at Schuh Center or Schuh Germann and probably elsewhere. For the most part shoes are no cheaper for the same brand from store to store or online. So if you find a pair you like that fit LO well, buy them without worrying that you'll find the same ones cheaper elsewhere. Good shoes fly off the shelves quickly and are most likely not going to be there a week later. If you have the time and possibility, scope out a few stores in your area w/o LO in tow to see what the selection is like. Most stores don't have a huge selection so you might have to shop around a little to find what you want and that's never fun with a LO in tow.

Chains like Deichmann carry Elephanten brand, which is high quality and excellent. Reno chain has a good brand too for kids. Quick shoe carries Sketchers and Keen. Local stores carry high end brands too, such as Ecco (highly recommend, but starts at 60 Euros a pair). Online you can get lots from Amazon.de or Zalando.de. Zalando does sell Stride Rites.
Expect 30-60 Euros for most good brands. Keens are a little cheaper (which cost 40-60 bucks around here in CO!!!) - I just got a pair 6 weeks ago for only 25 Euros!
Naturino is good, but so overpriced. They are made in Shanghai where my sister currently resides and she gets them for 20-25 Euros there. The prices they sell for in Germany is nuts!

I have had the opposite experience with Geox. My DS's feet are wide, and Geox are the only ones that fit properly. My kids go through shoes quickly no matter the brand (we do a lot of walking). DS went through a pair of KangaROOS in 6 weeks.
Besides the Geox, any other brands for wide feet? Or stores that sell kids shoes in wide width? I've looked online, but haven't seen the option for widths in the kids shoes.
I've heard that Elephanten have different widths but don't have experience myself. Just ask the salesperson or show the sentence "Haben Sie breite Schuhe fuer Kinder?"
Meaning if the have wide shoes for kids.
Good luck
When we tried on shoes for DS, he couldn't fit in any Skechers cause they were all waaaaay too wide. And I don't htink he has narrow feet.

My testing with the plugin seemed to work great ... but I need to be able to have authors creating new posts select and save their sidebar selection. If *I* do it with admin privileges it works fine. If a blogger with "Author" privileges tries it, it reverts back to the standard sidebar as soon as they save their draft *or* publish a post.
Is there a way to set the privileges for who can make the sidebar selection?
Here's an example page with the *standard* sidebar:

I know you a lot of you ladies have done this already so I figured you would be the ones to ask.
I am wanting to put together a video of the first year of my LO's life. He is just shy of 6 months so I have some time but I have so many pictures I want to get started now.
I am planning on using part of "You'll be in my heart" but only this part and I know I want it to be the first song
Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand Hold it tight
I will protect you
from all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry
For one so small,
you seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
(makes me tear up everytime, even reading it)
anyway, I need more songs for the NICU part and for the non NICU part. I am thinking of using Kenny Loggins Return to Pooh Corner for some of the non NICU parts but I am not sure. LO loves that song though. So any ideas for both parts of the video would be great!


text: I know there is a lot of stuff in the forums about permissions. I'm having a problem that the wp-admin folder has to be 777 or I get locked out of the blog with a 'you do not have permission to...'. This sounds quite extreme to me! If I want to edit the styles also the 'styles' folder also has to be 777. I've tried other settings. My Database server is not localhost. Can anyone think why this may be? I am VERY nervous about leaving this as 777.

Cultural Commentary
Spiritual but not religious
Category: Cultural Commentary Written by Jim Denison
Their movement is generating national attention after a recent editorial on CNN's website claimed that it "represents some of the most retrogressive aspects of contemporary society." Why? Because those who are SBNR are not required to do anything with their beliefs. They can feel connected to their higher power without grappling with sin or applying their spirituality to the world. The editorial concludes: "Theirs is a world of fence-sitting, not-knowingness, but not-trying-ness either. Take a stand, I say."
I'd go further. In my view, the SBNR movement is the greatest spiritual threat America faces today. Consider first its size. According to Gallup, one in three Americans say they're "spiritual but not religious." That's more than 100 million people, equivalent to the number of Protestants and Catholics in our nation combined. If SBNR was a denomination, it would be the largest in America by far.
Next, think about its appeal. You can dine at a spiritual buffet where you choose what you eat. If you like the idea of meditating to alleviate stress, put some Buddhism on your plate. If you want to be one with the universe, add some Hinduism. Select Jesus' "love your enemies" teachings alongside Islam's disciplined prayer schedule and Judaism's embrace of family and ritual. Why not take the best of each, eating the fish but leaving the bones?
What's wrong with SBNR? First, it violates the religions it claims to embrace. Buddhism is more than meditation; Islam is more than its prayer schedule; Christianity is more than Jesus' ethic toward our enemies. Second, it keeps its followers from knowing the God they claim to accept. Jesus was blunt: "No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). Peter agreed: "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which they must be saved" (Acts 4:12).
I understand the disconnect many feel with religious institutions today. At the same time, I'm convinced that SBNR is not the answer. It is spiritual inoculation, giving us enough of the "disease" to keep us from contracting the real thing. Who is behind it? "The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God" (2 Corinthians 4:4).
Every image of the church in the New Testament is collective—a body with many members, a vine with many branches. There are no solos in the Book of Revelation. We were built for community and accountability. And we need a personal, daily, intimate relationship with the One who made us. You may be spiritual and you may be religious, but here's the question: are you his? If you don't feel close to God, guess who moved?

'The King's Speech' Star Colin Firth on the Vocal Chord Impediment That Hindered His Own Speech
When Colin Firth was preparing for his role as the stammering King George VI in "The King's Speech," he couldn't employ his usual method of shadowing the person he was about to play like he would do for other films.
"Kings and queens don't make themselves available to actors," he said last night at the 92nd Street Y in New York. Dead ones especially, we thought. So he did the next best thing and relied on the experiences of David Seidler, the film's screenwriter. Seidler, who had a speech impediment himself growing up (acquired after evacuating Britain for America in WWII), was inspired by King George's speeches, especially after he learned that the King had overcome a stutter.
"This story is as much about David Seidler as anyone," Firth said. But the actor also drew on his own experience of a nodule on his vocal chords that prevented him from being able to speak "satisfactorily" when he was 25. While the situation wasn't as extreme as a stutter, he admitted, he found it so debilitating he avoided crowded rooms. "It was tied up in my identity," he said.
The cinematography especially explores that confluence of voice and self well. In one scene, the Royal Family watches a reel of Hitler commanding parades; the camera zooms in on the King, who sighs wistfully and can't hide his jealousy of the Fuhrer's rhetorical skills. The camera's lens, which Firth said was meant to approximate Kubrick's, kept both the subject and background in focus. Director Tom Hooper wanted to use the "negative space" to express the isolation the King experiences as a result of the impediment.
The cast put in a three-week rehearsal period before filming began, but it was tricky because Helena Bonham Carter, who plays Firth's wife (otherwise known as Queen Elizabeth), was also shooting a Harry Potter film at the time. Potterphiles will spy two other familiar faces: Timothy Spall, aka Wormtail, plays Winston Churchill, and Michael Gambon, aka Dumbledore, plays King George V. (As Seidler told New York: "At the time in London, if you weren't in "Harry Potter" and you weren't in "The King's Speech," you weren't working.")
"The King's Speech" will be released on November 26.

Room Service: Live With What You Love
- Location: Chicago, Illinois
- Website: roomservice-chicago.com
Combining their almost 35 years of retail experience, partners Jim and Paul opened Room Service as a store that would offer a broad mix of items. From vintage to new, high end to affordable, Jim and Paul want Room Service to be the kind of store where you find the little treasures that make your home feel like your castle. When they say "live with what you love", they mean it.
And there is much to love at Room Service. Most of the furniture is vintage, mainly from the 1950s through 70s and, recently, with a little 1980s thrown in. The accessories and artwork are an equal mix of vintage and new. One recent addition to the store is the line of Linnea's Lights candles. Room Service is one of just a handful of stores in the Chicago region who sells these triple scented soy candles.

Bonsai Status Report #1
I have a Chinese Elm I got from Amazon (!). I kept it inside for a couple of months during with winter and it grew some runners. When the warm weather started to return, I moved it outside and cut off the runners. Here is what it looks like now:
It looks pretty scraggly, so I cut off all the foliage on the top and they are starting to bud:
It still looks woody.
My question: should I cut away the woody parts? If so, how severely? I am aiming for something like this:

There is a lot going on in this pot: . You can see the cuttings (very slow to deploy their leaves), the seedlings from last year and the seeds form this year.
I plan to just leave them out until winter and water them. If anyone sees anything else I should do, please let me know.

Germany secured their place in Brazil with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Ireland in their World Cup Group C qualifying match.
Sami Khedira's 12th minute opener set the tone in what was a hugely one sided affair, before Andre Schurrle's well-taken goal doubled the hosts lead after the break. Mesut Ozil capped a wonderful evening for the hosts, scoring a third in stoppage time to send Germany into the World Cup finals.
The hosts were relentless in their attempts to find the back of the net throughout the 90 minutes, forcing Ireland deep into their own half as the Germans attacked in numbers.
Marcell Jansen and Philipp Lahm enjoyed tremendous success down their respective flanks, beating their opposing number on almost every occasion before delivering testing balls into the penalty area.
David Forde was at his very best, denying Toni Kroos, Thomas Muller and Schurrle on separate occasions but could do nothing as Khedira's shot took a wicked deflection off Ciaran Clark and into the back of the net.
Ireland's only chance of the half came moments before half-time when Clark's smart header from 12 yards crashed back off the crossbar and away to safety.
Schurrle was able to convert a well-worked corner with little over half an hour to go, putting the contest well beyond doubt, if it wasn't so already.
Ireland searched for a consolation goal at the death but were caught out by a swift counter-attack, Ozil clipping the ball over the outstanding Forde from a tight angle.
12' – GOAL: Germany find the net after just 12 minutes, but it's a very fortuitous strike. Stokes gives the ball away in his own half and it falls to Lahm who feeds Khedira on the edge of the penalty area. Khedira takes one touch to set himself before shooting on goal. The effort is scuffed but ricochets off Clark and flies beyond the despairing Forde.
35' – CHANCE: Great save from Forde. Lahm gets in behind Kelly and stands the ball up at the far post. Schurrle leaps tremendously well to send a header on goal from eight yards, but Forde is placed well to beat away the danger.
38' - CHANCE: Another great stop from Forde. Muller cuts inside from the left, brushing off the challenge of Wilson before sending a wicked left-footed effort on goal. The Ireland keeper makes good ground to smartly tip the effort over the bar.
45+1' – CHANCE: CROSSBAR!! Gibson's set-piece is played short to Whelan who lofts the ball into the penalty area from the left. Clark rises highest at the far post, beating Mertesacker to the ball and sending a header towards goal. Neuer is back-peddling and can do nothing but watch the ball crash off the bar and away to safety. So close for the visitors.
58' – GOAL: Schurrle adds Germany's second of the night. Ozil's corner from the right is played short to Muller who feeds the ball to Kroos on the edge of the penalty area. The Bayern man fakes to shoot before lofting a clever ball over the top of the Ireland defence and into the path of Schurrle. A wonderful first touch allows the Chelsea forward to roll the ball past the despairing Forde.
71' – CHANCE: Schurrle's devilish ball from the left is met by the diving Muller at the far post. Muller's effort from close-range is on target but, once again, Forde is able to make the stop – saving with his feet.
73' – CHANCE: Great double stop from Neuer. Coleman's initial effort from distance is saved well down low before the German keeper is up well to deny McCarthy's follow-up.
90+2' – GOAL: Germany add a third with the last kick of the game. The hosts counter-attack following an Ireland corner. Jansen carries the ball out of his penalty area and into the Ireland half to play in Kroos. The midfielder produces a defence-splitting pass which allows for Ozil to take the ball in his stride and chip Forde from close range.
TALKING POINT: Can anybody stop Germany? Joachim Loew's side will now go into the World Cup finals as one of the favourites to lift the Jules Rimet trophy. Solid in every position and with suitable cover throughout the squad, any team that can beat Die Mannschaft will surely go a long way in Brazil.
Germany have scored three or more goals in every single match at home throughout their qualifying campaign.
The win sees Germany qualify as the third European nation to reach the World Cup.
Mesut Ozil has now scored seven goals this qualifying campaign. Only Edin Dzeko and Robin van Persie have scored more.
David Forde, Ireland - It's not often that a goalkeeper concedes three goals and is awarded man of the match, but Forde is more than worthy of the accolade. If it wasn't for the Ireland stopper then Germany could have well hit double figures.

Skip to comments.(Former Prime Minister Jean) Chretien tells TV host he believes U.S. invasion of Iraq was for oil
Posted on 11/26/2007 12:29:27 PM PST by fanfan
click here to read article
Steyn did a column almost two years ago, pointing out some of the connections of number of recent Canadian PMs to Desmarais, familial and otherwise.
That column was the first time I saw the name "Sarkozy", too, since he made a trip to kiss the ring, er, consult with Desmarais, Total being the being the big oil company in France (the country, not Chretien's daughter).
I think Steyn said Sarkozy was "most likely" the next President of France.
If it was all about Oil the easy cheapest and best way(price) to get that oil was to accommodate and deal with Saddam and look the other way and or bury you head in the sand ....
The war was not about oil .. the the so called "anti-war" was
You are right.
Now go explain it to a liberal.
Would we have to feign an interest in hockey? Gotta draw the line somewhere...
Iraq for oil!
Next, we want Iranian oil!
After that we want Venezuela oil!
I don't.
It makes sense if the Canadians have stupid people like the USA with it's Democrats. They will believe anything that hurts our country.
Poor ole Chretien, he is not only ugly as sin he is also dumb as a box of rocks.
Thank you Anggapo.
That's the unfortunate truth of the matter.
Liberals who hate the US (and the West) more than they hate the terrorists all pitch the same BS—we invaded for oil. Well...where IS the oil? If we were there for oil, why have we removed a dictator from power, kicked al-Q's a$$, and taken NO oil whatsoever from Iraq and not had a signifcant drop in gas prices? Answer: Because we're not their for oil, you morons!
...oh yeah, if Iraq and the Middle East didn't happen to be right above enormous oil reserves, these people wouldn't have any excuse like this to make. Their treason would be exposed even quicker.
I swear, the "we invaded Iraq for oil" bullcrap is one of my biggest pet peeves.
So tell me...is Chretien French for cretin?
Now I will list all the times Jean Chretien has been right about something followed by all the times he has told the truth. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
There, fixed it. If it was all about oil, how come we're not getting any significant amount from Iraq?
'Chretien' is Canadian for 'Scum Bucket'.
Also interesting that the US military brings at least some of its own fuel from home.
Not only that but we spent a fortune liberating that country!
Nous sommes des communistes, des socialistes, de Pierre Trudeau. J' aime Chavez , vive le Arjentina Libre! Vive le Quebec libre, Vive le Canada Libre!
I wish this idiot would just stuff a sock in his mouth and go the way of the moon bats into the Great White North nude , there to be slowly killed by blackflies and mosquitos.
I LOATH French Canadian Liberal Commies like Chretien. They make my skin crawl. They almost destroyed Canada.
"They almost destroyed Canada."
*Yes, they almost did....thank goodness for Prime Minister Harper. He came along just when we needed him most.
some qoutes from Jean Cretien when he was prime minister—
*"I don't know. A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof, and when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven."
*"Perhaps there were a few million dollars that might have been stolen in the process. But how many millions of dollars have we saved because we have re-established the stability of Canada by keeping it a united country?"
*"Well, that is free trade!"
In response to a question about cross-border drug trade, in a news conference in front of Bill Clinton, having misheard a question about "drugs".
*"It's like the story of the Hippo and the Zerba. That Hippo, he paint the stripe on him to look like the Zerba. But at the end of that day he still a Hippo."
In response to the Canadian Alliance, and Progressive Conservatives creating one party.
*"I don't know what is marijuana. Perhaps I will try it when it will no longer be criminal. I will have my money for my fine and a joint in the other hand,"
*"For me, pepper, I put it on my plate."
about pepper spray against APEC protestors
*"To have a referendum to decide on the fate of the minority, it's a problem. It's why we have constitutions to protect the rights of the minority. It's why we have the Charter of Rights. So if it is always the majority vote by referendum, who will defend the minorities?"
*"I don't know. What happened? If you don't know, The cameras were there. Some people came in my way, it might have been... I had to go, so if you are in my way, I am walking. So I don't know what happened. Something happened to somebody who should not have been there."
When asked for his explanation as to why he grabbed the demonstrator's neck.
*When you're a mayor and you have a problem you blame the provincial government. If you are provincial government and you have a problem you blame the federal government. We don't blame the Queen any more, so once in a while we might blame the Americans.
Thanks for my morning laugh, folks.

The Search for Two Missing Dutch Tourists in Panama
The parents of missing Dutch tourist Kris Kremers stand as members of an independent Dutch rescue group prepare before beginning the search for the two missing Dutch tourists in Boquete May 28, 2014. Volunteers and sniffer dogs arrived in Panama from the Netherlands to aid in the search for Lisanne Froon and Kris Kremers. Froon, 22, and Kremers, 21, reportedly went missing on April 1 in Boquete, Chiriqui province, after setting out on a hike. The tourists were in Panama studying Spanish and were reported missing by their host families, according to local media.

Walking in Seattle yesterday, I smelled one of the most amazing unkosher cuisines I could ever remember smelling. As I stared at my food enemy, I had a thought which I imagine most religious Jews have at one point or another. I wondered: Was God testing me with this great smell? Was this amazing scent a way to bring my downfall?
Pondering this trivial "test" led to a greater philosophical and theological question: What is the religious nature of temptations and tests?
The Torah says, "Remember the entire path along which the Lord your God led you these forty years in the desert, He sent hardships to test you." (Deut. 8:2). We read that G-d has Bnei Yisrael wander in the desert for 40 years as a test.
What is this about? To place a nation (man, woman, and child) through such transient and confused misery for decades as a test? I also often wonder if the Jewish people are being tested today, with our own state in Israel and unprecedented wealth and influence in the US. What will we do with the great blessings we've been granted? What does this idea mean that G-d tests us as individuals and as a nation?
It must be more than sachar v'onesh (that God is merely keeping our score card) or that God is merely flexing power in the world.
I also can't relate to the cynical answer found in the book of Job, where God tests Job because of a disagreement with Satan. My belief in a benevolent and personal G-d precludes the possibility of random tests.
Still within distance of smelling my temptation of the day, I began to ponder answers:
For years, the most compelling answer to me has been that it is through the struggle of these challenges that we truly grow. These temptations are ways of teaching people about God and the incredible human capacity for compassion and depth. The Ramban argues that this was exactly the purpose of the Akeidah (the binding of Isaac) for Avraham.
Alternatively, perhaps there is a utilitarian approach that more people can learn from a test than the one having to undergo the discomfort of the test. The Rambam and Radak argue that the purpose of the test at the Akeidah was not for Avraham to learn but for the future adherents of the Abrahamic faith to learn. This sets a gold standard for others to try to follow.
Rav Kook goes even further, arguing that Avraham was being tested in order to "prove" to the pagan religions that monotheism can match the religious passion of pagan worship through the act of inward sacrifice, without the need for savage and barbaric sacrifices. One is being tested in order to teach others through its example.
Another utilitarian approach is that tests can provide opportunities for others to do mitzvot to help when we are struggling. It is for the moral good of the community at large.
These explanations may be true and all of them are worth thinking about but Rav Tzadok teaches that just as a person needs to believe in G-d so too one needs to believe in oneself. These days many of us (including myself) are struggling less with why we are tested by G-d and more with how we can overcome our obstacles and challenges to live a happier, more meaningful, more successful life. Do we believe in our own capacity to overcome in the face of adversity?
I'd like to share one tool that we can all consider experimenting with: The Gemara says that the Torah is the seasoning for the yetzer hara (personal evil inclination). The Maggid of Mezritch offers a beautiful interpretation that since the yetzer hara is the main dish and the Torah is the seasoning, we must serve God with the full ecstasy of the yetzer hara. The purpose is not to destroy or subdue the yetzer hara but rather to spice it up - to access its energy and channel it towards good.
This is to say that when we experience struggle we should use that temptation and channel that new energy towards good rather than attempt to dismiss or remove the temptation. This is why the Midrash explains that without the yetzer hara there would be no business or procreation. In a complex way, we need our desire for self-advancement to further societal goals.
Rebbe Nachman takes us even one step further in how we can understand the tests in front of us, and radically suggests that God is the test itself. God is hidden within the test, just as God was hidden in the burning bush.
He is proposing a spiritual meditation where we don't see G-d as the one placing an obstacle before us but rather see the face of G-d within the challenge itself. To phrase this graphically, it seems to me that this provides the opportunity to spiritually blow up the danger and fear found in our challenges and to see a loving G-d in the midst of it.
The Malbim actually suggests that G-d asks more of us than possible (what is beyond the limits of human nature to do God's will) – and that since such behavior is beyond our normal capabilities, there is no limit to the amount that is possible.
This reminds me of Viktor Frankl's explanation that survival in the concentration camps was most often not based on physical strength, wealth, political connections, or religiosity. Rather it was about the ability to construct meaning, the ability to make sense of the immense challenge placed before them. Man is ultimately driven by a search for meaning.
When we see every challenge as a test (from G-d, from our boss, of our will) we can fall into the trap of black/white binaries, in which the only possible results are success or failure.
But as a Jewish community, there are more options for the future than just Moshiach (redemption) or galus (exile). And as individuals, there are more options than passing or failing. The deepest learning is not the evaluation of the tester but the self revelation that emerges with every obstacle. By replacing the challenge, obstacle, or test with the face of G-d, we not only grow religiously but learn to persevere, as we re-channel our desires in more productive ways.
So I didn't eat the delicious cuisine calling my name in the end but I may have picked up a few new tools for addressing temptations and tests.
I'm inspired here by Mother Theresa, one of my greatest 20th century heroes. She changed the position of the nun from a person who primarily studies and prays in the seminary to one who serves the needy in the streets. One day in India, she heard the crying of an old sick woman from a Dumpster. This woman would not pass away, because she said she was so resentful of her sons who neglected her and left her to die alone in the Dumpster. Mother Theresa looked the old woman in the eyes and demanded that she forgive them. The woman took her last deep breath, forgave her sons, and passed away.
This woman was able to locate and remove the obstacle to let herself die – what are the emotional and spiritual obstacles in our lives that we must remove in order to start to live? What is an obstacle that you're currently facing and what is your spiritual/emotional strategy to overcome it? I hope we can all find partners to work through these together.

i understand your view but this trial cost the lives of innocent sons and daughters, all for Job? unlike Abraham`s trial which eventually only cost the life of a ram. maybe this book needs a lot more study, something is going on here which is more than associated with job
In his most extensive work on suffering, "Kol Dodi Dofek:It is the Voice of my Beloved that Knocketh,"( Theological And Halakhic Reflections On The Holocaust, edited by Bernhard H. Rosenberg, Ktav Publishing House, Inc., 1992), the Rav says that one can not comprehend the nature of evil, because individuals do not have the full understanding of the world. He provides an example of one who cannot see the full beauty of an ornate rug, because he is viewing it from the wrong side. He unequivocally affirms that evil, does exist. Any effort to romanticize evil, is not intellectually honest.
The Rav writes:
"Judaism, with its realistic approach to man and his place in the world, understood that evil could not be blurred or camouflaged, and that any attempt to downplay the extent of the contradiction, and fragmentation to be found in reality will neither endow man with tranquility, nor enable him to grasp the existential mystery. ..Whoever wishes to delude himself by diverting his attention from the deep fissure in reality, by romanticizing human existence, is naught but a fool and a fantast." (page 53)
"When the impulse of intellectual curiosity seizes hold of a person, he ought to do naught but find strength and encouragement in his faith in the Creator, vindicate G-d's judgment , and acknowledge the perfection of his work." (page 63). People have an obligation to recognize that evil exists, but understanding its essence, is beyond human intellectual understanding. RABBI DR. BERNHARD ROSENBERG

A little girl's birthday and a small boy's bad choice of words
Published: Friday, February 4, 2011 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 3, 2011 at 2:02 p.m.
I'm still trying to make sense of it all in my head.
How is it that my baby girl is now 3?
Just the other day we were in the hospital wondering if Griffin would have another brother or the thing we were secretly rooting for, but not expecting — a baby girl.
The joyous celebration that ensued following her Feb. 1, 2008, arrival brought everyone, including her dear ol' dad, to tears. More accurately, lots of tears.
The last few years have been a blur, filled with plenty of milestone moments.
As I remember her first steps, words and bites of grown-up food, I am already thinking ahead at what the future has in store for our little, feisty angel.
In a moment of clarity, I suddenly realized the other night that Julia isn't as much a baby anymore as she is a small child.
The transition from baby to small child is tougher on some than others.
What makes me think she's not so little anymore is seeing her show off her newly painted fingernails to me the night before her birthday.
"Look at my fingernails, Daddy," she said with the sweetest smile in the world.
It's funny what moments stand out to parents.
This one for some reason stuck with me.
I went from thinking my daughter was still a baby to not being so sure anymore in a brief second.
With a budding interest in fingernail polish and other girly things such as shoes, I know it's only a matter of time before she'll be asking me if she can go to the mall with her friends or to the movies with a boy.
It's scary stuff for a dad who will always have the vision of his newborn daughter in that hospital room in 2008.
Maybe I'm displaying some form of bias here, but Julia turning 3 gives me a completely different feeling than what I experienced when Griffin turned 3.
I guess Griffin has gotten past that baby stage, so seeing him get older doesn't bother me as much.
But his sister, that's another story entirely.
I find myself wanting to preserve these moments where I can still refer to Julia as my "baby girl" without feeling silly about making that assertion.
Deep down, I understand she's going to keep growing, and the years will begin to morph into one another as we press forward.
Fortunately, that's why we have our memories and devices like cameras to capture the precious moments.
While I plan on telling everyone how Julia's birthday party goes, I would be remiss if I didn't talk about my son's recent transgression.
It all started with an impromptu telephone call from my wife, Melissa, telling me that my son had used a foul word in class.
Without telling you the word, let's just say he had to pay a visit to the assistant principal's office and was moved to red for the day.
For those of you unaware of what this means, red indicates you engaged in some sort of behavior that is highly frowned upon. In other words, you don't want to land on red.
When the teacher questioned my son about where he heard the alleged word, he said he first told her the name of another child. Eventually he threw my name in the hat.
First, in my defense, I've never said the offending word in front of my son. Actually, I don't even remember using that word, period. It's a big mystery as to where he heard the word, but the bottom line is he was caught saying it and disciplined appropriately.
With that said, I will admit as parents we sometimes have verbal slips when our kids are within ear shot of us.
The danger in these slip ups is no matter how minor they may seem, there's a chance our children will start integrating them into their daily vocabulary. This can be especially unnerving if you have friends without kids hanging out at your house. They are prone to forget proper language etiquette, which can also result in problems.
After talking with our son at length, he promised he wouldn't use the offending word again.
So in a nutshell, life has moved on, but not without having to address a very sticky situation with our son.
One thing I can be sure of is this won't be the first or last time we walk the slippery parenthood slope with Griffin or Julia.

I have just started using the Ridizain theme and for the most part, I love it! However, I want to have a black background with white text rather than white background with black text. Is this possible? I can't see an option to change background colour in the customize section.
I should add that I have absolutely no programming knowledge!
Oh and also - is there a way to change the colour of the 'sign me up' button from green?

20 years in prison
Woman Who Filmed Abuse of Teens Sentenced
Published: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
BARTOW | A former Polk County sheriff's detention deputy was sentenced Monday to 20 years in prison for beating two teenage girls with a leather sex paddle, filming the abuse and sending the footage to her online boyfriend in Australia.
Rather than go to trial, Robin Pagoria accepted a plea deal with prosecutors.
The 47-year-old Auburndale woman pleaded no contest as charged to two counts of aggravated child abuse, two counts of lewd or lascivious battery and two counts of using a child in a sexual performance.
Circuit Judge Catherine Combee also ordered Pagoria to serve 20 years of sexual offender probation.
Under the terms of her plea deal, Pagoria agreed to testify against her online boyfriend, Christopher Lobban. Authorities still are trying to extradite Lobban on criminal charges.
Pagoria was arrested in May 2011 and resigned from her detention deputy job at the Central County Jail. She was hired by the Polk County Sheriff's Office in June 2005 and was paid about $41,000 per year.
Pagoria told detectives in a transcribed statement that she was disciplining the girls for "disrespect, back talk" and "rudeness."
The Ledger is not identifying the girls, in keeping with its policy of not identifying victims of sexual assaults in most cases.
Pagoria told detectives that she ordered the girls to strip off their clothing. They were forced to bend over a desk where Pagoria restrained their feet with panty hose and their wrists with handcuffs.
She described striking them about 50 times with a leather paddle that she bought from the online auction website eBay.
Pagoria told detectives that she would wait about five seconds between each swing for "maximum burn."
She said that she video- recorded the spankings with her cellphone.

I've just started using this plugin as it really did something I've been trying to recreate for some time without any luck.
But I'm having some problems and hoping i can get some help and clarification.
I've inserted WP tiles directly into my theme with this.
<?php the_wp_tiles( array('grids'=>'tabtarget', 'posts_query'=>'category=3', 'small_screen_grid'=>'Mobile', 'breakpoint'=>'768', 'padding'=>'0') ); ?>
First off i've created a custom grid, which is as follows
Which i've then loaded into the array.
Small grid and breakpoint does not seem to work. Its supposed to load the tiles into this setup
But it still uses the same grid system regardles of window size.
So my first question will be how do I get it fall back to the mobile version on the breakpoint?
Second question
All tiles when loaded have all the specific styles directly coded into the html so I've had to use !important tag to override most of the styles.
The container of which the tiles have been put in is 380px, but it seems to just extend further than that regardless of the fact. So i've had to use !important tag to override it.
Is there a better solution for this?
Last question
I had finally gotten the WP tiles to show my 3 latest post and I used the tiles ID to style them.
I then tried to add a new post with the category i've specified and suddenly it loaded all 4 instead of just 3 (which is the grid I've drawn in the grid designer).
Not only that, but instead of rotatin the 3 previous "news" around so the first of the 4 would be gone I had thought the tiles would reuse the id's and fill into them with the new data.
But how do I give ex. the A tile a specific id and the B and C?
I really really hope you can help me out as I would really like to use the plugin.
I've taken the theme site out of development mode, until I've solved the issues so a early alpha build of the theme is availabe to see here.
