I'd disagree slightly. I'm pretty sold on the idea that a pastor, if he has languages at his disposal, ought to work with the original language at least somewhat at the beginning of sermon preparation. That avoids the unfortunate (and embarrassing) sermon point that makes a big deal out of an English word's meaning when the actual text does not have the same denotation (or connotation). It's also impossible to critically engage with scholarly commentary when one has to take those commentaries -- which often disagree -- at face value. That said, anyone but the best skilled folks ought to stay within the bounds of commentators. I rarely, if ever, have argued a language point that I couldn't support with several good commentaries... I'm not skilled enough to go it alone. Actually, no good interpretation ought to be done outside of community. But, I know enough of the categories to weigh a few good commentaries and say, "hey, in Psalm 23, we're not talking about mere 'mercy' following me, we are talking about God's amazing, loving kindness pursuing me." (Ps. 23's familiarity, I think, is a bad thing when it comes to translation -- the translations seem to be generally more concerned with following the KJV's basic arrangement than anything else. It's close enough for most purposes, but if I'm preaching the text, you could count on me noting that the text promises far more than just mercy.) To be sure, making too big of deal out of the original languages is a bad idea. But, I think to make the barrier to original language studies of the Scripture a lot higher than any other language studies -- which certainly in many cases ought to be far MORE daunting -- is probably unnecessary. I think it'd be great if more people decided to learn the languages just for their own personal devotional reading. -Tim

Swing Low!
Ditch those diamond studs: In these postminimalist days, earrings simply must be the shape (and practically the size) of a certain old-fashioned ceiling fixture. Just ask Melanie Griffith, Catherine Deneuve and Nicole Kidman, all of whom have helped make chandelier earrings the bijoux du jour. The Bachelor's Marley Shelton donned a pair of dangly Swarovski crystal earrings to "throw a little glamor" into the fashion mix of simple Calvin Klein tank top and Katayone Adeli suede skirt that she wore at a Cannes Film Festival party: "They really dressed it up."
Indeed, the ornate ear bobs "are feminine and fluid," says jewelry designer Janis Savitt—perfect for making any outfit special. The peacock-feather-shaped head-turners that ex-Loving star Noelle Beck recently wore to accent a turquoise frock "were the pièce de résistance," she says. "When people saw me they would comment on my earrings first."
Some restraint is required, however. When you fasten on chandeliers, "don't wear a loud dress or get overly made up," says Shelton. "With this look, a simple chignon and hardly any makeup will do."
with Alison Singh Gee in Los Angeles
behind the Seams
Dish from last week's American Fashion Awards in New York City: When a pal didn't make it on time to zip Elizabeth Hurley into her peony-pink, ultratight Valentino gown, the resourceful star hit up her bodyguard. "I squeezed into it by the skin of my teeth," she said. "I can't breathe!" Later, Hurley giggled with Claudia Schiffer over the dazzling 24-carat diamond ring the Brit had borrowed for the evening from Harry Winston, saying it was "the size of a fridge!"...
The girl talk wasn't quite as friendly when presenters Ashley Judd and actress-singer-model Milla Jovovich were backstage. Judd inadvertently dissed Jovovich by asking her when she was going to become a rock star. A none-too-thrilled Jovovich shot back, "I am a rock star!"...
Presenter Ben Stiller looked sharp in a navy Hugo Boss suit, but it wasn't his first choice. I hear Stiller's people approached Prada about dressing the star, but the Italian fashion house said arrivederci, because they weren't keen on him sporting their duds at an event that promotes American fashion....
Naomi Campbell went far to get her gold Azzedine Alaïa gown for the bash. The mannequin popped into Paris on her way back from a Morocco vacation, scooping up eight Alaia frocks just to be on the safe side. "I always overpack," Campbell sighed....
You can add designer to Rene Russo's résumé. The actress teamed with jeweler David Hundley to create a chic sterling-silver charm bracelet that will be sold exclusively through Neiman Marcus's Christmas catalog. All proceeds from the $600 bracelet, which can be decorated with four different charms (at $60 a pop), will go to Cure Autism Now. I hear Russo will present one of the bracelets to Rosie O'Donnell during an upcoming appearance on O'Donnell's show....
Seen: Singer Lenny Kravitz, in floor-length Indian poncho and sunglasses, and Denzel Washington, in baggy black shirt and pants, at New York City hot spot Moomba's karaoke night. They chose not to warble, instead chowing down on chicken and drinking wine until 4 a.m.
Dressing isn't easy when you're 6'4", like New York Liberty forward Rebecca Lobo. We asked bow she meets the challenge.
What's your biggest fit problem?
I have long arms, muscular shoulders and a wide back. Sleeves on off-the-rack blouses are never long enough. So I like sleeveless tops.
And suits?
I get suits custom made by Eléveé in L.A. But it takes at least a month. If I have a party later in the week, I better already have something.
What about shoes?
I prefer closed-toe. Basketball players don't have the most attractive feet.
Dana Reeve and actress Sharon Lawrence were all smiles when they turned up at a benefit honoring Reeve's husband, Christopher, with their hips hugged by the same sparkly Laundry by Shelli Segal pants. "Sharon said, 'I've always liked your style,' " recalls Reeve. "It was fun." Lawrence was drawn to the trousers' sleek fit: "They show off the rear very well."

The Film
Playwright: From Page to Stage is a cinema vérité documentary that takes an intimate look at the development of two new plays, showing how creative teams are assembled and collaborate, detailing everything from the intense rehearsal process to achieving one of theater's ultimate goals: the arrival on a Broadway stage in New York City.
The film follows two young playwrights, Rajiv Joseph and Tarell McCraney, as they burst onto the scene, bringing real-world perspective to create theater that is fresh and new. Their success ignites tremendous interest in their work, and we follow as one of the plays, Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, reaches Broadway, with Robin Williams in the lead role of The Tiger.
Along the way, we learn about both playwrights through their individual back stories. Before deciding to write plays, Rajiv Joseph, an Indian American from Cleveland, traveled to Africa after college for a three-year stint in the Peace Corps. Raised in Miami's inner city, Tarell McCraney also has an unlikely background for a career in theater: as we start our journey, he's under 30, grew up below the poverty line, and is black and gay.
Through extraordinary backstage access, Playwright shows how these works, depicting compelling diversity and gender themes, have the power to influence and impact both mainstream and underserved audiences of all ages.

Growing up on a farm in rural Washington, I idolized our family practitioner. I wanted to be just like him, providing care to everyone in our community no matter what their resources were. That is the foundation of who I am today. The aspect of caring that is what led me into healthcare.
I went into my specialty of gastroenterology because at the time there were few specialists working in that area. I have been practicing for almost 40 years now. One of the most important things for me is being the best at what I do, for the benefit of patients. This hospital allows me to provide the absolute best in care for my patients. As a person involved with liver transplant, I can say with confidence that we have the best program in the United States.

These are busy times at the XL Center.
Just as the Professional Bull Riding tour moves out, the deadmau5 tour (Sunday, Oct. 16) moves in. The building is also girding for concerts with Katy Perry (Nov. 15) and performances of Disney's "Phineas and Ferb Live" (Nov. 19), and the Trans Siberian Orchestra (Nov. 26).
There are currently 1.2 million tickets on sale for dozens of events at the Hartford arena.
"I worry about every one of them," said Chuck Steedman, general manager of the XL Center. "We 'mother-hen' every single show right to the finish line."
According to Steedman, the number of shows and the wide swing of diverse acts from rap to rock, pop, and sporting events is part of the mission of the XL Center.
"It is by design," he said. "First, we want to make sure downtown Hartford remains vibrant. We also want to fulfill the mission of programming for all people in the region."
The sheer volume of programming available at the venue makes the next few months perhaps the busiest in the history of the building but Steedman points out that it isn't always easy to get Hartford on the touring itinerary of major acts.
"When tours go out, they don't necessarily say 'we have to play Hartford'," he noted. "For many of them 'Northeast' means Boston and New York. We have to make sure there is relevance there for our market and for markets like Springfield where they do a really good job. We need to make sure we are in the mix right out of the gate."
The economic benefit from a local concert or arena performance is significant.
"There is three quarters of a million dollars spent between hotels and parking, taxis and restaurants," said Steedman. "We have 400 people working here alone for an event. The restaurants have told us they see a 60 to 70 percent bump over non-show nights."
Even in a down economy, Steedman sees people in the region continuing to spend money on entertainment.
"People are re-examining how they fit in what's important to them," he said. "You can go away and have it rain. But if you are a Katy Perry fan you know that for those three hours at the show you are going to be entertained."
The venue's lineup and ticket information is available at xlcenter.com

Message on the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, 27 October 2012
Message from Ms Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO, on the occasion of the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, 27 October 2012
Our audiovisual heritage is rich and vibrant -- it is also extremely fragile. The pace of technological development is making formats and reading devices become obsolescent in less than a decade. The preservation of audiovisual heritage is a complex task that requires costly resources. In response to the rapid deterioration and loss of this heritage, we must redouble our efforts for storage and digitization and strengthen international cooperation – because time is working against us.To deepen mutual understanding among peoples, UNESCO works to protect and share our universal heritage in all its forms – through documents, traditions, books, works of art as well as historical and cultural monuments. In this new age of diversity, we need ever more intercultural dialogue and ever deeper curiosity about others, in order to denounce cultural or religious stereotypes that are the seedbeds of intolerance. Our audiovisual heritage is vital for these efforts. A vector of identity and memory, it carries the promise of sharing experience and broadening the horizons of everyone. It provides unique insight to humanity's great cultural and scientific diversity. No other medium bears such vibrant testimony to the world's rituals, customs and cultural expressions. Scientific, cultural and educational audiovisual content cross continents on information highways -- the new global commons -- but, for this, States must effectively safeguard this heritage and disseminate it appropriately. Through its work in culture and the Memory of the World programme, UNESCO supports States in their commitment to protect this heritage. Given the urgency of rapid deterioration, we must accelerate the pace of our work -- to train professionals, to build institutional capacities and to formulate effective public policies. International Days such as this help to raise awareness and to alert public authorities about the extreme fragility of the treasures that are being lost. On this day, I call on all public authorities and all professionals to take a stand to ensure this outstanding heritage is preserved and shared.

Google might nix the Nexus portfolio in 2015, replace it with Play Edition gear
45 Comments
1. vedraj (Posts: 75; Member since: 04 Oct 2013)
that means will there be another nexus this year??
12. LiyanaBG (Posts: 381; Member since: 07 Nov 2013)
HTC should make the next Nexus
32. MobileNico (Posts: 67; Member since: 26 Aug 2012)
No, they shouldn't. What have they made in the past year (or two, even) that justifies them making the next Nexus? The One is the only standout device they've released, but A) the camera is sub-par B) there was a Play Edition made of it. I do love the premium build and sound quality of it, so if they could incorporate that while improving the camera quality for a Nexus device, they might have something there.
45. jdot104 (Posts: 95; Member since: 17 Jun 2011)
I agree. I'd like for Sony to make the next Nexus, but in order to follow the Nexus 5 they're gonna have to keep the costs down. Waterproofing isn't a big deal so they can scrap that.
2. Rager722 (Posts: 319; Member since: 30 Jan 2013)
So who's manufacturing the last nexus device?
6. alterecho (Posts: 1098; Member since: 23 Feb 2012)
I think the honors should go to Sony.
Also, i think 'Play edition' will be renamed to just 'Nexus edition' or just 'Nexus'.
11. EgyDroid (Posts: 111; Member since: 10 Oct 2013)
Sony. Yes
Change name to nexus. don't thing so
e.g: Galaxy s5 nexus
doesn't fit..
But PLEEEEEASE sony nexus, PLEEEEEEEASE
21. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Yes sir a waterproof Nexus from Sony would be so SWEET!!!
I am so with you.
43. Atlas (Posts: 158; Member since: 15 Apr 2012)
33. MobileNico (Posts: 67; Member since: 26 Aug 2012)
Sony would be a decent choice to manufacture the next Nexus. A waterproof phone with a great camera and stock Android would very likely be a winner for Google. But Sony has yet to release a winner by themselves, so perhaps this is why they haven't gotten their 15 minutes of Nexus fame.
3. LoveHater (Posts: 176; Member since: 09 Oct 2013)
haa sony didn't even get a chance
4. bkzebraphone (Posts: 37; Member since: 12 Dec 2012)
That kinda sucks IMO. Now we really have to dish out like $500+ to get a flagship phone. The nexus was high specs, latest android updates but also affordable. Or more affordable than most flagships off contract. At least motorola makes good quality phones with reasonable price. I guess we'll just wait and see.
7. N3Z1droid (Posts: 89; Member since: 02 Jan 2014)
You are too much dreaming :)
8. boosook (Posts: 1437; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
Seems logical. It was clear that the game had to end, at last.
10. sss_ddk (Posts: 73; Member since: 05 Mar 2013)
Wondering why the "at last". How was the Nexus line bothering you?
13. alrightihatepickingusernames (Posts: 474; Member since: 29 Dec 2013)
I saw some changes coming to the Nexus line but I thought it would just be some rebranding because of the design differences between the Nexus 5 box and previous boxes... Google clearly wanted it to be perceived differently. I just hope it is rebranding and I'll still be able to pay $400 for a 32gb phone with great hardware and software.
14. docj8404 (Posts: 73; Member since: 23 Jan 2013)
A lot of you probably won't agree, but I would welcome a slight price increase when it came to the Nexus line of devices, especially if I'm receiving a solid device all the way around. Google has "messed up" in the sense that it would be incredibly hard to return to pricing its Nexus devices at typical flagship prices after consumers have been accustomed to paying subcontract prices the past 2 years. I believe Google may be tired of taking a hit, however big, when it comes to pushing Nexus devices, so a rebranding of the Nexus line may be a viable way of changing this. Marketing marketing marketing.
On the bright side, maybe Google won't have to charge $49.99 for a semi-functional case in order to recoup lost hardware profits anymore.
15. Professor (Posts: 212; Member since: 02 Aug 2013)
I have and use a Nexus 4. I still have not buy a Nexus 5 because my reasons to upgrades are a slightly bigger screen and official LTE support (my Nexus 4 is set to get LTE)... But T-Mobile still don't have LTE (or still I have able to find a place where I can get LTE signal) in NYC not even with my girlfriend T-Mobile Galaxy S4. Once T-Mobile has LTE in NY then I upgrade my phone. There is no compelling reason before. I hope Google still selling Nexus 5 or 6 by then.
20. droidboy (Posts: 50; Member since: 25 Nov 2012)
I am on verizon so no nexus for me anyway... But I love the nexus 7 tablets and I really hope they will have google play tablets with the great specs and fair pricing....
22. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
Getting a pure Nexus device for the 1st time I can say that the Nexus 5 "Nexus" brand should be continued. To drop the line so that greedy partners can make sales is ridiculous. Samsung makes lots of sales, and prove's that the Nexus line does not really affect sales if the phones are what the main stream consumer desires. Greedy partners wanting to sell play edition versions will fail because they are over charging way too much for in my opinion less smoother performing devices in most cases.
Plain Vanilla Nexus devices with lower specs such as camera does not take away from partner sales. However if you want a smooth no bloat device I concede that the Nexus line should not go away. Device's like the S4, or Note 3 will always sell because of what they offer vs the plain Vanilla Android experience.
26. Diazene (Posts: 129; Member since: 01 May 2013)
I hope he's wrong
30. bilalahmed247 (Posts: 10; Member since: 04 Dec 2013)
he is wrong beacuse he hate Nexus line
28. imkyle (Posts: 1073; Member since: 18 Nov 2010)
They better lower the costs of the Google Play Editions phones then. You cannot go from $349 for a phone to $649.
29. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
that is fine, I guess, I will save more money for a Note 3 or 4, whenever I decide to change out phones, again.
31. bilalahmed247 (Posts: 10; Member since: 04 Dec 2013)
if this happen i have to leave android
35. MobileNico (Posts: 67; Member since: 26 Aug 2012)
Sad news, if true. Solid phones built as Google intends with top-end specs and stock Android is all I want. And dat price! I'm sure there are many who agree with me. I suppose there's always Motorola. Sigh.
36. JonBjSig (Posts: 176; Member since: 17 Nov 2011)
How reliable is he?
I think I'll remain sceptical until someone that actually works at Google says something about it.
37. Stuntman (Posts: 836; Member since: 01 Aug 2011)
Android manufacturers don't like being undercut by Google in price.

This is not necessarily a bad thing. "Nexus" is just a brand. I think a "Play edition" of various Superphone coming out soon would be pretty bad ass. hint: Play edition S5, Z2, G2. I only wish Nokia would get in on this. A Play Edition 41MP like device would be quite something.

stock android is one thing but what people really care about nexus is price. of course the Play Edition can give you nexus experience on other device but often the price will still the same as the non Play Edition counterpart. nexus program might not affecting google big partners like samsung but for much smaller partner it is hard to compete with google selling at cost. google can still make profit from Play store but for partners most of them only rely on hardware sales to get profit.

You guys are missing the point. Google like anyone else, is in business to make money. The Nexus brand doesn't sell well. Google sold appro. 3 million Nexus 4, that is nothing. Devices are not mainstream, and don't sell well with the general population.

Think the UNTHINKABLE! Nokia Nexus!!!!! The world ends right after that.
42. joseram695 (Posts: 79; Member since: 28 May 2012)
My concern is would they still be affordable priced like the nexus line phones?
44. docj8404 (Posts: 73; Member since: 23 Jan 2013)
Google should of NEVER released their Nexus devices at such a low price point to begin with. I will happily pay $499 - $599 for a high end device with high end specifications & software features. There's an inherent sentiment of "cheap" that comes along with a flagship sold at an entry level price & quite frankly, I think it'll be near impossible to get people to pay $649 now that they've become accustomed to something much less expensive.

It is now Monday morning, August 22nd. I'm sore, my feet ache, my knees are stiff and my back plain hurts. Yes, this is a typical Monday morning for me, but today the discomfort is from a different source. The last three days I worked the R.A.M. Dental Clinic at Malcolm X College.
I signed up to work because Tom Sullivan and Keith Suchy asked, period. I've known the Boys for over 30 years and consider them friends. We don't go out to dinner together. We don't go on vacation together, but have worked together on dental projects forever. We have a dental bond. I felt they have earned the right to ask for my help and if I'm able to do it I would.
Don't give me any props. I sold my practice 10 weeks ago and have been lying on the couch ever since. My wife said a few weeks ago, "Get off the couch and do something already." (I cleaned it up for publication purposes.) I had the time so I helped.
There is a story about two elderly Jewish gentleman who go to Temple every Friday night: Goldberg, who is very religious, and Schwartz, who is less religious. Someone once asked Goldberg why he went to Temple every Friday night. He replied, "To talk to God." Then the person asked Schwartz why he went every Friday night. He said, "To talk to Goldberg."
Everyone at Malcolm X had their own reason for giving up part or all of their weekend. Mine was to see and talk to my dental friends. I got to reconnect with former classmates, former students, and friends I hadn't seen in months and years. I'm also grateful I was able to make new friends. I worked side by side and across from dentists I had not met before, but after 8, 9 and even 10 hours together we became friends. I was surrounded by a room full of the most talented dentists around. I was proud and privileged to be part of such a group.
I extracted a bunch of teeth on a bunch of patients who would still be in pain if I was still on the couch. If I didn't do it, it wouldn't have been done. I received numerous heartfelt thanks and a handful of hugs (I don't like to hug).
There was a chance to be on TV. The TV crew set up right by me, looked at me through the lens, and proceeded to set up two chairs down from me. They filmed a pretty young dentist and her pretty young dental assistant and they were featured on the news. If you attend one of these events, there is a chance you might be on the news. To be on the safe side, don't work next to me. (Ed. note: Watch the ABC 7 news coverage online.)
I missed a lot of my dental colleagues these past few days. I know all of you give to many charities both of your time and money. I know in my heart dentists are some of the most generous and compassionate people. Next time you have an opportunity to do something like this, try and come out for a few hours. Talk with me. We will fix some teeth, extract some teeth and have some fun. For those of you who don't know me, I would like to meet you. Let's work side by side for a few hours and get to know each other. Let's have some fun while doing some good. Isn't that what it's all about? Marc Wasserman Loyola Class of 1980 Sullivan-Suchy Volunteer Class of 2011

New Jersey Supreme Court upholds reliability of alcohol breath test
New Jersey's Supreme Court has rejected a challenge to the breath test used in drunken driving cases.
Wednesday's order by the court upholds the use of Alcotest, which replaced the Breathalyzer more than a decade ago. The test has been the focus of legal action over its reliability for the last several years.
In oral arguments before the Supreme Court last week, lawyers for 20 people charged with DWI who challenged the test claimed the state didn't comply with a 2008 Supreme Court order to revise the software on the machines and to create a searchable database of test results.
In Wednesday's order, the court ruled the test is scientifically reliable and the database created by the state conformed to the 2008 order.

Dukes Ground Hawks in Game One of Series, 10-5
April 9, 2010
Matt Carson hit his first home run of the season and Robert Corsi made his first collegiate start on the mound as Duquesne won its third straight Atlantic 10 game with a 10-5 victory over visiting Saint Joseph's Friday afternoon on Duquesne Field. The Dukes improve to 3-4 in A-10 play while the Hawks fall to 4-3.
Carson had hits in his first three at bats, including his three-run round-tripper in the second inning which gave Duquesne a 3-0 lead. The Dukes extended their lead to 6-0 as Rick Devereaux doubled and scored in the third inning and Derek Lefever and Anthony DeFabio had hits and scored in the fourth.
St. Joe's crept back into the game with three runs in the sixth and one in the seventh to make it 6-4, but the Red and Blue posted four insurance runs in the eighth to take the win. DeFabio had two hits and two RBI in the game as did Chris Kimmeth.
Corsi tossed the first four innings, a season high, holding SJU to just one hit while stiking out four. Grant Gillespie tossed three innings, allowing one run while striking out four to earn his second win of the season.
Game two of the series will be played Saturday at 2:00 p.m.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Once known as "the king of drag racing," Evan Knoll – former owner of Decatur-based Torco Racing Fuels – pleaded guilty this afternoon in a $100 million fraud.
Whether he can repay any of the money is unknown.
Banks have already received $2 million from the sale of a waterfront home in Gaylord and another under construction in Decatur, but the government could not say whether $87 million in taxpayers' money could be recovered.
Knoll pleaded guilty to eight charges of making false claims against the government, and one count of bank fraud.
As owner of Torco Racing Fuels, he exploited a federal program by seeking refund of the 18.3-cents-a-gallon excise tax for gasoline that funds highway construction. When gasoline is used for an off-road purpose, such as drag-racing, users can apply for a refund.
Over the course of years, Knoll received $87 million for fictitious claims. He also used those claims as collateral for a $15 million loan through two banks.
Knoll, standing before U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker in Grand Rapids, said he devised the plan himself – fooling his employees and accountants, banks and the government. He started small but it became "like a growing mushroom. I take full responsibility. … I just want to say I'm sorry."
He said he didn't just double or triple refunds claims that he was eligible to receive.
"It was really out of whack," he told the judge. "I don't know the percentage."
After the hearing, U.S. Attorney Patrick Miles said investigators dealt with "complex factual and legal issues."
Erick Martinez, special agent in charge of IRS, criminal investigation, said Knoll was respected throughout the racing industry. He was known as "the king of drag racing."
He appeared to have a successful business. He had a vacation home in Gaylord and another under construction in Decatur. But his empire was built on lies, Martinez said.
"He did a lot of lying, and he got away with it for a while. Really, what he did is lie to a lot of people. … Mr. Knoll now faces severe consequences for his actions. That success was based entirely on the back of the American taxpayers."
Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael MacDonald said an IRS official raised concerns after looking at records submitted by Knoll.
Knoll, who is free on bond, declined to comment as he left the federal courthouse. He owned General Sales and Service Inc. in Decatur and did business as Torco Racing Fuels Inc., Knoll Gas, Knoll Gas Motorsports Inc., EWK, LLC and eRaceFuels, Inc.
The plea agreement calls for Knoll to pay restitution of $86.9 million to the U.S.
Treasury and $13 million to Chemical Bank and Comerica Bank.
Federal officials said they cannot yet say if Knoll is in any position to pay a significant part of the restitution.
He faces up to 30 years for bank fraud, while the other charges carry maximum penalties of five years in prison.

THE DIAPHRAGM has always acted as a barrier to the progress of upper abdominal surgery. As a result the structures in the region of the diaphragm, such as the lower portion of the esophagus and the cardiac end of the stomach, have been neglected surgically. This is partly due to the fact that the chest itself was not opened up to surgeons until comparatively recently. However, even after open thoracic operations were made safe, the diaphragm remained a barrier, so that surgeons argued the advantages of the transthoracic versus the abdominal approach to diaphragmatic hernia. Obviously, if no harm would come from traversing the diaphragm, it would be of tremendous advantage to be able to repair a diaphragmatic hernia with both the abdominal and the thoracic cavity open. The same applies to lesions of the lower part of the esophagus. In most of these lesions the site of the primary

Player of the Game:
Carlos Santana is trying to become a legend in Cleveland. He had his second mutli-HR game of the series this afternoon as the Indians routed the Royals 10-3. For Santana, he now has three HR's in his last five games. In his past 13 plate appearances, Carlos Santana has 1 1 walks, 1 double, 1 HBP, 3 BB, 5 HR and 8 RBI. This is also Santana's second Player of the Game award in three the last games. Santana launched 2 homers and Salazar turned in 7 solid innings, leading the Tribe to the victory. On the road trip, they went 5-6. Not bad.
Feathers Up:
Santana started his multi-HR game with a two-run homer (19th of year) that put the Indians up 5-2 on Royals in 5th inning. This was a huge hit, as it solidified the Indians comeback
Ryan Raburn launched a leadoff HR off Royals starter Bruce Chen to straightaway center to give the Indians a 6-2 lead in the 6th. It was nice to see Raburn leave the yard again; reminded me of last season.
Nick Swisher snapped out of his 0-21 skid with an RBI single to right in the 7th.
Santana hit his second HR of the game in the 9th inning to add some unnecessary insurance runs which put the Indians ahead 9-3.
Yan Gomes followed Santana's second HR of the game with his first of the series. Have the Indians found the perfect hitter to follow Santana in the lineuep?
Feathers Down:
The Indians avoided a four-game sweep to a division foe. Should there be any feathers down?
On Deck:
The Indians will have an off-day tomorrow before starting an important three-game series against the Seattle Mariners . The Tribe are 2 1/2 games behind the Mariners in the A.L. Wild Card race with a whole bunch of teams jumbled together.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Democratic Party is promoting the idea that Republicans are waging a war on women. But skeptics say it depends on which women you talk to, whether they believe there is such a war, and who's really waging it.
War on Contraception/Abortion
Democrats have cited the Republicans' plan to repeal Obamacare as proof the GOP is targeting women's rights.
"It includes preventive care. It includes coverage during pregnancy. Those issues are really important to women. Women need that coverage," Elizabeth Rose, communications director for the Center for America's Future, said.
Others, like passengers on the Women Speak Out bus tour, say women concerned about health care should not fear the Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan ticket, especially those who believe abortion is not health care.
For weeks, the bus filled with pro-life women has been crossing the country, opposing the man they call the most pro-abortion president in history. They said if there's a war on women, it's President Obama who's leading that fight.
"There's never been a pro-life bill that he liked or a pro-abortion bill that he didn't like," passenger Jill Stanek said.
They said a second Obama term will mean taxpayer-funded abortions nationwide.
On the flip side, pro-abortion advocates, like those at the Democratic convention, have issued dark warnings about a Romney presidency.
"He would overturn Roe vs. Wade and sign into law a wave of outrageous restrictions on a woman's ability to make decisions about her pregnancy," Nancy Keenan, president of Naral Pro-Choice America, said.
These days that appears to include what the call the right to free contraception.
"The whole idea that you and I as taxpayers have to fund college kids' contraception: come on, give me a break! There's a drug store on practically every corner," Concerned Women for America's Dr. Janice Crouse said.
Contraception 'False Security'
Stanek said that such unlimited access to contraception and abortion has brought on 1.2 million abortions a year.
"It's a false security that contraceptives provide," she said. "But also, it isn't healthcare. It's not healthcare to offer women the opportunity to kill their own babies."
Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch said he believes most women don't agree that opposing abortion equals a war against them.
"I think you would be very surprised at how few women put free abortions and government-paid-for birth control at the top of their priority lists," the Republican governor said.
New polling this year provides some evidence to support his point.
"Forty-one percent of Americans said that they were pro-choice, which is the lowest in recorded history," Stanek said.
Crouse agreed.
"Their concerns aren't there," she said. "Their concerns are about the future stability of this country."
But Rose countered that that's why many of her friends fear Romney: the economic future.
"My friends really care about the kitchen table, economic issues. We want our kids to be better off than we are," she said.
But Crouse also cites concern for the nation's economic future as a reason why her friends fear Obama.
"They're concerned about the economics, the fiscal crisis, the debt burden that we're passing along to our children," Crouse said.

"I have a 1998 305 mercruiser engine. I replaced the oil pan and exhaust manifolds and risers 3 years ago due to water in the oil. After that I only ran the engine in the salt water one summer. I winterized it every year. This spring, I ran the engine and noticed gray oil, water mixture. I drained oil, replaced oil filter, replaced oil, and ran engine with ear muffs and hose water connection. After 2 minutes, the oil was contaminated with water again. I checked the exhaust manifold bolts and got about a quarter turn more tightening out of them. My question is do you think the heads are bad, or could it be just blown head gasket, or intake manifold or cracked block? Could something else be bad, like I said, all exhaust manifolds/risers/ gaskets were already replaced 3 years ago. Could they have gone again after only 1 year in salt water?
Last night I check all spark plugs and all were dry, no water spots at all. I did a compression test, ALL cylinders are equally 140 psi. I disconnected the intake hose to the water circulating pump, and disconnected hoses to the exhaust manifold. I had the ear muffs with hose on the outdrive to keep safe the impeller from burning out. I ran the engine for 30 second increments making sure the block or exhaust manifold did not get beyond hot touch to the hand. The oil after 2 changes is now clean. Is there any danger of harming the engine with this approach if I make sure the engine does not overheat?
Before I disassemble the heads and intake manifold, I wanted to be sure what the problem is. I am going to reconnect the intake hose to the water circulating pump, and leave off the exhaust water hose to see if the oil gets contaminated. If it does, can I assume its the intake manifold blown gasket or cracked intake manifold? Could the heads or head gasket still be bad even though the compression test was good and spark plugs are dry?
If the oil does not get contaminated with water, can I then know for sure its the exhaust manifold or exhaust manifold gaskets?
Sorry about the multiple questions. Please let me know, all of your expertise is greatly appreciated. Hope to be boating soon! I will let all know the outcome as I go. Thanks again. Paul

Peter Wong, deputy chairman and head of the Asia-Pacific region, was handed £760,000 worth. Iain Mackay, group finance director, and Marc Moses, chief risk officer, both pocketed £470,000.

JERUSALEM: Israel has arrested six Jewish suspects in the abduction and killing of a Palestinian teenager whose death sparked violent protests in Jerusalem and Israeli Arab towns, a security source said yesterday.
With tensions high along the Gaza border, Israel said its aircraft attacked 10 sites in the Palestinian enclave in response to persistent rocket strikes on Israeli towns. But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signalled that broader Israeli action was not imminent.
The burning-alive of 16-year-old Mohammed Abu Khudair, and the earlier murders of three kidnapped Israeli teenagers, have driven relations between Palestinians and Israelis to theirlowest point since US-backed peace talks broke down in April.
The security source gave no details about the suspects arrested in the investigation into the abduction and killing of Abu Khudair, other than to say they were Jewish and that police saw "nationalist motives" in the case.
A police spokesman said a gag order had been imposed on most details of the case, commenting only that police had "arrested a number of Jewish suspects who carried out the killing." Israel's Shin Bet security agency said the suspects were being questioned at one of its installations. Abu Khudair's burnt body was discovered in a Jerusalem forest on Wednesday. AFP

17 October 2011
When I first scored a gig working from home, I hunted around for tips and tricks, and ran into walls of stupid. Either they were written for people who weren't actually going to work from home (they just wanted a place to put a computer and do the bills), or they were for people who had already learned everything they could by trial and error... but forgot what those actual mistakes were.
What I really wanted, I realized, was a diary of sorts. It's not concise, but hey, my background is in psychology, and I deal with developers. Neither are concise people.
Not finding a diary (or journal, as my son would quickly correct me), I've decied to write one myself.
Week Zero
Technically, the work from home gig hasn't started yet. While my work at NASA has ended, my new job doesn't start until next Monday. I was going to use this time to get my home office together, but a burst of inspiration flooded me a weekend ago, and I got it done in one day. Instead, I've decided to use the time to get in the rhythm of working.
Monday was a federal holiday, so I was surrounded by the other people who live here. Work-wise, it was a bust. It's not their fault, of course. I could have stayed home and let the cleaners work around me, and asked my mother to take my daughter for the day, but the last minute things I needed to do beaconed, and I wasn't quite ready to use up a good-will token.
I did get up early, though. I think I deserve something for that.
It does bring up an interesting quandry for when everyone else has the day off but me. Theoretically, I could take the laptop and find a place to work outside of the home, leaving the kids with the SO+ or bribing a grandparent to take them on. That's assuming I'm not dealing with some catastrophpe, like a few flakes of snow falling on the DC region. The SO+ still has to go in (it's a matter of pride, him being from New York State and all), but the kids are more than likely off. I've started to train the kids that when I'm sitting at my desk, they are to come to me with issues that involve smoke, blood, or ruining the carpet.
This, by the way, has lead to the following exchange with my daughter.
Me: *messing with her hair*
Her: Leave me alone! I'm working! *leans over her pink laptop*
Me: On what?
Her: I'm making a website! *shooes me away with her hand*
I'm proud and distrubed at the same time.
The to-do list
Even with having the week off, I decided I'd start with a to-do list.
- Get Django Explorer site up and running
- Get data to at least 20%
- Re-read one of my Python or Django books. Good time for a refresher!
- Do not eat the entire kitchen
Things I missed
I knew my workspace wasn't complete when I posted last week, but the feedback was so awesome, I thought I should put something up to thank people.
One thing I figured out quickly was that my lighting, while great for typing, sucks for reading. Happily, I had impulse purchased a neat LED light strip during my Ikea extravaganza, so that's doing nicely as a fill in. My cords are once more a mess, however, so I'll have to rewrap everything.
Power strips suck. I mean, seriously, who designed these? People who've never seen how huge power adapters can get? My power strip has six slots on it, and I can barely use four of them. The only reason I can get four is because two are normal sized plugs. I'm now going to be shelling out twenty bucks for the adapter I should have bought in the first place, but ah well. If there's one thing you can never have enough of, it's power strips.
I need more music. Wow. I'm already kind of tired of what's in my library. Unfortunately, before something becomes working music, I need to be familiar with it. Guess I need to work on listening to music on my off-time.
The children have learned where I'm keeping my pencils, and they're already getting raided. Investing in a small badger to live in that cubby hole.
Family (namely my mother, who watches my kids) is taking well to re-training. This came from me having to be crazy firm about not 'doing lunch,' and keeping to my hours. I have a feeling I'm going to have to start screening my calls, though.
On being alone
I'm actually comfortable with being alone all day. I'm an only child of the benevolently neglectful 80's, so being left on my own a lot was the norm.
The big issue with being alone for ten hours a day is that sometimes, when I want to do something, I want to do it NOW. Case in point: my awesome new spreading out desk. I should have waited for the SO+ to come home, help me get it downstairs, then help me set it up. No, I decided. I am strong! I am mighty! I shall do it all by myself!
... with my stupid gimp hand that hurts if I strain it too much. The table did end up put together, but at the cost of three days of sucking down pain killers.
What actually got done
I'm actually really, really proud of the progress I made on Django Explorer. I set up a Django site to make it easier to enter data, then wrote a script to convert that database into an Android database. A few remapped functions later, and I had a very nice system that I'm considering taking live so I can get more feedback on the actual pages. I also read through a sizable chunk of the Python Cookbook, which is always good for getting my head in the zone.
I did not eat 20% of the kitchen. Having my own fridge and snack cabinet were a large part of that.
Time management
I use the simple and somewhat dorky Pomodoro method. That's the one where you set a timer, work for 25 minutes, take a 5 minute break, then do it all over again. Every four 'pomodoros', I take a longer, 20 minute break.
I've use so many time management techniques, I've lost count. This is the only one that seems to work for me. Sure, I know people who can hack for hours, but it's actually pretty important for me to have a reminder to get up, stretch, walk around, look out a window, and get some water. Also, those breaks help you out when you're diving down a well of stupid, and you need a moment to realize that the code you thought was brilliant in your head is an Eldritch horror on screen.
I had a goal of doing an hour of standing a day, and found it was easier than I thought it would be. Sure, I don't have the awesome Geek Desk, but a handful of books I never use stood in perfectly fine. I've found doing my standing in the afternoon helps battle my PM malaise better than sucking down another cup of coffee. Will I get to eight hours of standing? I'm not certain, but I could see where I could start upping the hours until chairs are reserved for reading or gaming time.
Am I going to make it?
This was really satisfying week of working on my own. I got tons done on Django Explorer, and we're on target for a October 30th Alpha release.
Wish me luck, because in fifteen minutes, I start for real. :)

> Will I get to eight hours of standing?
I tried this over the summer, and it absolutely killed my knees. If you can get a config going where you can easily go between sitting and standing, that's probably best.

I don't answer the home phone during daytime hours. Theresa uses email instead, so I know I don't want to talk to whoever is on the line.
I had some trouble standing, too, but it was more with my neck. I need to get the monitor into a better position, so until I have time to assemble something better for that I'm back to sitting down.

Patch tests are considered safe but adverse reactions have been reported.
A case of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) provoked by a patch test with acetaminophen is described. Of special interest are the negative patch test results obtained with the offending drug. The case is discussed against the background of the putative mechanisms of AGEP and the reported systemic reactions to patch testing for AGEP.
To our knowledge, this is the first report in the English-language literature of a generalized AGEP-like reaction caused by patch tests carried out to determine the drug eliciting AGEP.
PATCH TESTING is becoming an accepted tool in the differential diagnosis of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) and the search for the causative agent. Although it is considered safe, adverse reactions have to be anticipated. We report a case of acetaminophen-induced AGEP provoked by a patch test. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the English literature of a systemic AGEP reaction following patch testing.
A 23-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital following exacerbation of a pruritic rash. Three days earlier she had been treated for nasal discharge with Coldex (Teva Pharmaceuticals, Israel), a medication containing acetaminophen, caffeine, phenylephrine, and chlorpheniramine. One day later she developed erythema and itching on the buttocks and groin, and the following day she was given acetaminophen for the persistent itching. She had developed a similar rash 3 years earlier. Otherwise, she was in good general health, took no medications or nutritional supplements, and did not have a history of psoriasis.
The results of a physical examination on admission were normal, with the exception of a bilateral erythematous, maculopapular rash affecting the trunk and proximal limbs, and of numerous nonfollicular pustules on an erythematous base—mainly on the groin, buttocks, and the antecubital and popliteal fossae. Her body temperature was 37.6°C.
Laboratory investigations showed a total white cell count of 17 700/µL, and the differential count showed 71% neutrophils and 6% eosinophils. Blood, urine, throat, and pustule cultures produced negative results, as did a viral serologic test. Chest radiograph results were also normal. A skin biopsy of a pustule on an erythematous base taken from the groin showed neutrophil-containing spongiform subcorneal pustules as well as perivascular infiltrates with neutrophils and eosinophils. The results of direct and indirect lesional immunofluorescence were negative. Upon admission to our department the suspected offending drug was discontinued, and the eruption resolved within 5 days without any medications.
Six months later the patient received patch tests with the ingredients of Coldex, ie, 1% and 10% acetaminophen in petrolatum, 1% and 10% phenylephrine in petrolatum, 1.5% phenylephrine in distilled water, 1% chlorpheniramine in both petrolatum and distilled water, and 0.5% caffeine in petrolatum. On day 2 the reading for the patch containing 1% acetaminophen was 3 tiny papules and the other readings were negative. On days 4 and 7 all readings were negative. On day 7, however, the patient developed a symmetric vesiculopustular eruption on the trunk and extremities. Histologic examination of a skin biopsy sample from one of these lesions revealed papillary edema and perivascular infiltrates with neutrophils and eosinophils. The eruption resolved after 1 week. A patch test 1 month later using only 1% and 10% acetaminophen in petrolatum provoked no reaction on days 2, 4, and 7. But on day 6, the patient developed a rash similar to the one that erupted on day 7 of the previous test. That rash had resolved spontaneously by day 10. Separate patch tests with each of the other ingredients of the suspected drug were negative.
Baker and Rayan1 coined exanthemic pustular psoriasis in 1968 to describe and name the condition, and in 1980 Beylot et al2 proposed pustuloses exanthématiques aiguës généralisées. The latter prevailed, and the condition is now referred to in English as acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP).
Drugs trigger off this relatively rare phenomenon in 90% of cases, especially antibiotics and particularly βlactams.3 Other etiologic agents are mercury; viruses, including parvovirus B19, coxsackievirus B4 and coxsackievirus A9, Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, hepatitis B virus; and Mycoplasma pneumoniae3- 7 (Table 1).
Several pathogenic mechanisms of AGEP have been proposed. Britschgi et al8 suggested the involvement of T cells, which is evidenced by positive patch tests and lymphocyte transformation tests. The cell-bound drug elicits a drug-specific CD4 and CD8 immune reaction producing interleukin 8 and interleukin 5. They, in turn, cause aggregation of neutrophils and eosinophils,8 in addition to their cytotoxic effect on basal cells.9 Based on the positive patch test results, Moreau et al10 proposed that AGEP is a delayed type of hypersensitivity reaction. Another possible mechanism is the production of antigen-antibody complexes induced by an infection or drug that activates the complement system, which in turn causes neutrophil chemotaxis.11,12
Definitive confirmation of a certain drug as the cause of AGEP theoretically can be obtained by rechallenging the patient with the suspected drug. In view of the possible recurrence of the full-fledged eruption, patch test can serve as a substitute mimicking AGEP both clinically and histologically at the patch test site only. The rationale for using patch tests in AGEP is founded mainly on the pathogenesis of AGEP, which, as mentioned above, includes T-cell involvement and a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction. Wolkenstein et al13 reported positive patch tests in 7 of 14 patients with AGEP13; Watsky14 suggested that rates of positive patch tests may be even higher, but noted that this may reflect a publication bias. Table 1 summarizes the drugs reported to provoke a positive AGEP patch test.15
Although the patch test reaction in most AGEP cases is limited to the test site, there are a few reports of reactions spreading beyond this site, most of them attributed to diltiazem hydrochloride. Nishimura et al16 reported a generalized AGEP-like reaction caused by a patch test with diltiazem; Vincente-Calleja et al17 described the appearance of a diffuse pruritic eruption on the neck, abdomen, and patch test area—which resolved in a few days—after a positive patch test with diltiazem; and Wakelin and James18 reported a positive patch test with diltiazem accompanied by a mild eczematous reaction on both forearms.
Despite the value of patch tests in the diagnosis of AGEP and the determination of the condition's etiology, the method has drawbacks. There is no standardization for the tests whose specificity and sensitivity are yet to be determined. It is well known that sometimes, including in AGEP cases, a patch test can fail to provoke a reaction in a person who is sensitive to the substance tested. There are several reasons for these negative results, especially when the test is performed with specially prepared materials rather than standard test patches. Among the more common reasons are the different mechanisms of action of the drugs being tested, excessively low drug concentration, insufficient amount of drug applied, inappropriate vehicle, degradation of the substance, and UV irradiation of the patch test site.
Our patient experienced a cutaneous reaction after taking a medication containing acetaminophen, caffeine, phenylephrine, and chlorpheniramine. Another administration of acetaminophen severely exacerbated the cutaneous reaction, which resolved a few days after the medication was discontinued. Patch tests with the alleged culprits were deemed negative despite the appearance of 3 tiny papules at the site of application of 1% acetaminophen, because the papules lasted only 48 hours. A test with a 10-fold-higher concentration of acetaminophen was also negative, and the results of the first test with 1% acetaminophen could not be reproduced at a later time. However, with the initial patch test containing all the ingredients of the suspected drug as well as the subsequent one containing acetaminophen alone, the patient experienced a generalized cutaneous reaction consisting of symmetric vesiculopustular lesions on the trunk and extremities that resolved within a few days. On histologic examination, a skin biopsy specimen of one of the vesiculopustules exhibited some of the histological features of AGEP.
Although the patch test results were negative in our case, the reproducible generalized AGEP-like reaction following patch testing with acetaminophen, together with the histological findings, suggest an acetaminophen-induced AGEP in our patient. As mentioned above, acetaminophen has already been reported as a possible cause of AGEP.
In view of the short interval (24 hours) between administration of the offending drug and appearance of the eruption, and the similarity of that rash and the rash she experienced 3 years earlier, it can also be assumed that acetaminophen caused the earlier AGEP as well.
To our knowledge, this is the first report in the English literature of a generalized AGEP-like reaction caused by patch tests carried out to determine the culprit drug in a case of AGEP. Of special interest are the negative patch test results with the offending drug.

I just purchased a double barrel 20 guage shotgun. The only markings on it is ranger written on the side. It is not real old and all the parts have a matching number. There is a small circle 22 on the receiver and a large S with a small t and p inside of the s on the barrel receiver stud. No other markings other than the proof steel 20 guage on the barrels. case hardened receiver and checkered stock. There are 2 beads(ivory) on the rib 26" barrels. What do I have??

Born to ride
by Bronwyn Wilson
Senior Staff Reporter
It's evident by her effervescent smile that five-year-old Madison has discovered sheer bliss. The winsome kindergartner sits astride an adorable brown and white pony named Rosie. Could life get any better?
But don't get the wrong idea. Madison isn't at a pony ride at the zoo or park. Madison is taking classes. She's learning to ride Rosie by herself and has been focused on the task since Labor Day.
She already knows quite a bit about horses and their equipment. She's also learning about grooming. Madison knows how to clean Rosie's hooves and she does it with the seriousness of a doctor performing surgery.
According to Madison's mom, Dena Hart, horseback riding has opened up a new world for her daughter. She's learned what a pick is and how it works. She knows the different kinds of brushes. Says Hart, "She knows which saddle is Rosie's and where to go to get clean blankets."
Horseback riding, she says, has helped Madison realize her capabilities. "I just remind her, if she can carry a saddle, she can carry a bag of groceries."
Also, the lessons have expanded Madison's knowledge about horses. She can tell her family and friends what the difference is between a donkey and mule. "It's nice for her to have her own thing," says Hart, pleased that her daughter has taken to her lessons with such fervor. "She's teaching us."
Madison is one of 20 students currently learning to ride at Silver Fox Training Stable in Woodinville.
"They get the whole program," says Anne Christensen, owner and trainer. "We teach them all about horse care. And, we not only teach them about riding and form, but we teach them a little about horse philosophy and horse behavior."
Christensen has been teaching riding for 29 years. She says riding classes teach a whole lot more than riding. They teach character as well as responsibility and leadership. "A horse needs to be led," she explains. Riding also teaches assertiveness as the students learn to guide the horse.
"A horse isn't like a motorcycle. You have to give the proper commands and have the trust/respect relationship."
Four tried-and-true steady horses are on hand at the stable to work with students. In addition to Rosie, there's Lady, Star and Penny. Many of Christensen's students attend public and private schools. However, some are home schooled and others are moms. Also, a number of the students participate in nationally rated horse shows for jumping horses.
Learning new and interesting facts about horses is part of the fun for Christensen's students. But even more fun is getting to know the horse. Many of the young students change their perception of a horse once they begin lessons. "I think they all think [at first], put a quarter in and get a pony ride," Christensen remarks. But her students, she says, start to realize that each horse has a personality and that a really good rider will bring out the best in each horse.
Bringing out the best in a horse is something Christensen knows. She has been riding since she was five and says that she loved horses right from the start. "I think I was born with a hoof print on my heart," says Christensen.
At age 14, she became a riding instructor when her own beloved instructor, Harriet Jaquette, passed away. She began teaching in her instructor's place. When her beginning riders had a problem with a horse, such as misbehavior, Christensen worked through the problem with the horse. She communicated to the horse what she wanted him to do.
"You have to be firm with them and also reinforce the good behavior."
She teaches her students that horses want clear instructions of what the rider wants. "Horses love to have a job," she says. "They really thrive when they have a job."
Horses understand applause and they enjoy it. As an example, she says that show horses competing in the hunter jumper competitions have to negotiate a course and perform eight jumps. When they've completed the job and hear the audience clapping, horses respond.
"Their heads perk up, their ears perk up and their eyes get brighter," says Christensen.
And, it isn't just the kids who are learning about horses and their behavior. Christensen has two moms' classes.
In the classes, she says, the moms talk and participate in horse games as well as in organized trail rides. "It's a fun class to socialize and learn about horses. A month ago we rode down to Redhook [Brewery] to have lunch. They have a hitching post," she says, adding that the trail rides are beautiful. "Last week we had sun and flowers and the fall colors."
Mentioning that some of her clients call her the original "horse whisperer" because of her understanding of horses and their personality, Christensen says, "I always had a good ability to make horses perform."
Her father, who is present while she talks, adds his insight: "Anne has, clearly, a natural talent for interacting with animals."
And it is the interaction with the horses that brings richness to the lives of those, like Madison, who are learning to ride. Dena Hart is beginning to think that her daughter's newfound interest in riding may be the one that sticks with her.
Although Madison loves gymnastics and playing her violin, they aren't her priorities at this time. Says Hart, "She said she would give up violin ‹but she wouldn't give up Rosie."

Roger Clemens was handed a five-game suspension for throwing at Alex Rios, and Joe Torre was handed the standard one-game suspension handed to managers after an incident like that. Not the best timing for Clemens to miss a start, as the schedule takes a turn for the worse. Five games is a lot, but MLB almost has to suspend a starting pitcher for five games; anything less renders the consequence meaningless. And the intent to hit Rios was clearly there, so it's tough to argue with the suspension. The Post reports that Clemens is appealing the suspension, so it likely won't begin tonight, unless he changes his mind. Torre will sit out tonight as well.
Lots of other players and coaches from both teams were fined for their roles in the altercation.
As far as the standings go, the Yanks are tied with Detroit, a game back of the AL's new wild card leader, Seattle. They're hanging tight in the AL East race at six back.
Phil Hughes (1-1, 5.87 ERA) mans the mound for the Bombers tonight against Cleveland rightly Fausto Carmona (13-6, 3.17 ERA). Count Hughes among the crowd that is happy to see Joba Chamberlain in Pinstripes. George King noticed that as the buzz around Joba increases, the buzz around Hughes is fading. And Hughes is more than okay with that.
We're not buying the "Playoff Atmosphere" mantra from the Post. Not yet. Not in early August against the Indians. These games are big, but it won't feel like the playoffs to us.
By the way... don't be confused while watching the game tonight -- every Cleveland player will wear uniform No. 14 to honor Larry Doby, the Hall of Famer who also happened to be the AL's first black player.

We have just returned from a repositioning cruise on the Miracle.
We had great fun and met great people. The staff, especially dinner crew and room stewards were great.
What was not so great was the buffet at Horatios. The area was poorly designed with food or drink centers at high traffic areas. Food areas were placed here and there with no real thought.
Hot foods felt too cool and were often dried out. The selection was very poor and was tasteless.
The only bright spot was the pizza but the options for toppings was ridiculously sparse.
Food in the dining room was adequate most nights but chefs need to learn how to make Pecan Pie.
The selection was adequate.
We would never travel on this ship again. Since this was our first Carnival Cruise, we are not sure we would travel Carnival again.

text: Mug cakes are usually single-serving, so you have 1 egg, 1 banana (or equivalent amount of puree, I use pumpkin), any flavoring or spices (chocolate, cinnamon etc.) as desired, maybe 1-2 tbsp of "primal flour" (coconut or almond) OR nut butter (have used almond butter with success). Mix it all up in a mug, microwave for 2.5 minutes, add 30 sec increments as needed to cook the center (so it's not shiny anymore), or give up and eat it anyway. It'll be hot! I don't ever grease the mug and it cleans up easily, but if you do, you could probably dump the thing out of the mug. Don't know why you'd want to, it's more fun that way. I add a little honey or maple syrup because pumpkin puree isn't sweet on its own.

Alright, so I didn't know the only way to pay was by credit card or PayPal and I set up my bank card (Northern Bank maestro) so that I could use it as a debit card to pay for stuff online and whatever thinking I could use it for paying the Live money I owe, I went to put my details in and found out you can only use cc/pp, is there no way the payment can just be taken from my bank account as if I'm buying something online? I waited 2 days to get my card set up and put the money in my account and I really cannot be bothered waiting even longer to make a PayPal that I'm never going to use again, there's bound to be a way the money can just be taken from my account...
Do you mean a Debit card? Because if you mean you have a debit card from a bank, then that is useable for Xbox live. It works the same as a CC or PP. If you are having issues getting the balance taken care of, give support a phone call and they will be able to process the balance and get you squared away. There are more than 3 ways to take care of a balance. CC, Debit card (issued from bank), Pay Pal, or even a green dot or various other pre-paid VISA cards.
It was just a normal bank card but I got it set up so it can be used as a debit card but when I try to add the card details to my payment options it only gives me the choice of credit card or paypal, I tried putting the card details in under credit card but it just keeps asking me to enter a valid card number, where/how do you do it? :S
bank cards are only supported in certain regions
suggestion paypal accepts bank accounts why not use that
Problem after problem after problem >.>
Ok so I tried to add a new PayPal (do you not have to set up a PP account?) but when I click the yellow button that says pay with PayPal it takes me to a white page saying this "Microsoft is committed to helping protect your privacy. For more information, read the Privacy Statement." below that there is a next and a cancel button, it will allow me to open the statement but the next/cancel buttons do nothing at all... so I can't progress to add the details...
MS knows about the Pay Pal issue. There has been an issue trying to get Pay-Pal added to accounts for a couple days now. How many digits are you putting in when placing your CC on the account? CC's have to be 16 digits. If YOU cannot add the card, call MS and have them add the card on the account.
What number do I call? And just to make sure, you can definitely pay using a debit card, right?
Hey there Brent! Can you walk me through exactly how you tried to add your Paypal account? Are you trying to add it from your Account page, or during the transaction?

I tried to do it from the page that showed me the card details I was using, along the bottom it had 'pay with PayPal' and add a new card or something but it's alright, I got the PayPal sorted out but I forgot to turn auto renewal off first and they took a 3rd months money so I just need to figure out if I can get the month cancelled and get the money back or something (I bought a 3 month prepaid the other day) >.> lol
For that you'd have to call phone support (support.xbox.com/contact-us). We don't handle any refunds here on the forums. Thanks!
Ok so it says whenever i try to connect to xbox live it says i have a PAYMENT VIOLATION. I use an American Express debit card. And when i tryed to add a prepaid xbox 12 month code card it gave an error code. What do i do?
