Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro
You have this friend who invites you over to see his barrel of weasels. He picks up the lid, and there they are—weasels, all right, snarling, biting, devouring each other, squirming around in a muck of their own making.
After a very short while you would confirm for yourself that weasels were wretched, pathetic, disgusting, trivial creatures and, in fact, not all that interesting. The chances of your wanting to watch them for two and a half hours are slim.
But with this long film, director Martin Scorsese acts as if the vile lives of some New York City organized crime types arc worth scrutinizing. It hardly matters that the script by Scorsese and Nick Pileggi is taken from Pileggi's book Wiseguy, about a real crook now in a witness-protection program. All it says is that people can be very rotten, which—guess what, guys—is no revelation.
There's fine acting, notably by Joe (Lethal Weapon 2) Pesci as a psycho with a Henny Youngman-Napoleon complex: It's always a toss-up whether he'll tell a bad joke or shoot someone for implying that he's short. De Niro is predictably convincing as a businesslike hit man; Chuck (The Mission) Low is eerie as a hustler kept on the mob's fringes by his Jewishness, and Scorsese's mother, Catherine, nicely plays Pesci's willfully naive ma. Liotta is sturdy, though his character, Pileggi's co-author, has a self-justifying strain. Only Lorraine (Someone to Watch Over Me) Bracco, as Liotta's wife, seems misplaced, looking like Debra Winger and acting not nearly as well.
Scorsese goes for a few laughs. When Mrs. Scorsese pleads with Pesci, "Why don't you get yourself a nice girl?" he replies. "Ma, I get a nice girl every night." But mostly he shows double crosses, infidelity, brutality and no redeeming qualities. (The hoods' wives, mistresses and families are despicable too.) While Scorsese generates vivid images, he covered this ground in the superb Mean Streets in 1973. Here there's nothing to learn, nobody to sympathize with. Seen one weasel, seen 'em all. (R)

It has long been recognized that cloth when it becomes wet is not an effective bacterial barrier.1,2 Plastic films provide absolute bacterial barriers, wet or dry. These films have not been exploited, however, on the theory that an impermeable drape material would cause a marked temperature elevation in the surgical patient.2,3-5 A recent study investigated the safety and acceptability of this nonporous draping fabric for adult surgical patients. No significant change in body temperature was noted.6
We undertook evaluation of this nonporous fabric for pediatric surgical patients and four findings paralleled the results obtained with adult patients. The previously accepted theory that patients could not be covered with an impermeable drape material without a dangerous rise in body temperature has not been supported by our data.
Materials and Methods
An impermeable fabric material consisting of synthetic rayon fibers bonded on both sides of a 0.025 mm polyethylene

concrete pads, free reliable wifi, and paved roads with curbs, nearby restaurant..friendly staff at check-in. Very clean park. No freeway noise. I will return to this park. Over the air TV reception.
Date of Stay: August, 2016
Has a family lodge for the kids and a separate Adult Lodge for the seniors who like peace and quiet. Train ( miniature ) rides are offered on week ends. Lots of room to walk around the canals and grounds. Has two swimming pools, one for the families and one for adults only. Has an exercise room for adults. Free wi-fi at the lodges. The pay WiFi is very slow in the park. Here is a short stroll in the evening https://youtu.be/I25l2QewfDI.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
We were here in the very hot hot day of July 31st 2014. The motor home cabin air conditioner could barely keep up cooling the interior. I would not recommend coming here in the hot summer months. There is no free Wi-Fi at the park...it costs $8.99 a day for Internet. However, the nearby Outlet Center Mall has free Wi-Fi and Starbucks at the Aquarius Casino has free Wi-Fi. Not happy to have to pay so high of a price for Internet! The RV park is located very conveniently to the Riverside Casino and the Outlet Mall. I have no issue with the park, it has all the amenities of a good park, minus the Wi-Fi, one of the few parks I have visited that charge so much for Internet service. The office staff are friendly and even offer advice on how to get free Internet at the other locations I mentioned. I like this park in the Spring and Fall, when the weather is more mild and less extreme.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
Had lakeside site, great view of the lake. Friendly professional check-in lady at the Casino Hotel Lobby registration desk. There are no sewer hookups, only a dump station which they call a "Pump Out" station. There are only 50 amp connections available, so if you only have a 30 amp hook up, bring along an adapter in order to hook up to the 50 amp service connector. There is no Wi-Fi available to the RV sites, but there is free Wi-Fi at the nearby hotel where we checked in. There is no cable TV or over-the-air television service. Hotel has two restaurant's. One restaurant has the option of a buffet or individual ordered meals. We would camp here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
There are permanent residents, but never felt unsafe, this is the working section of town, but every one friendly and working for a living. You drive through a Mexican portion of the town to get to the park. Not a big deal for us, it felt like any other town with lots of business and bakeries and restaurants. This park is very close to the Historic section of Dodge City. The lake is dried up, so don't count on seeing a lake. I liked the RV park because of its very close proximity to downtown Dodge City. Our motor home was not towing a car, and when I asked the lady at the office for recommendations to nearby restaurants she offered us the camp ground van for us to drive to the restaurants'. Now, that is a great service. Office staff was very friendly, and would remind us every time I went into the office about the free coffee was available for me. Office lady also told us to feel free to get change at the office for the laundry facilities. Laundry room had an iron to use. Wife said laundry room had three washers and two dryers. I would stay there again, when visiting the Dodge City Historic area.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
Beautiful setting of rolling hills and forest nearby. Sites are large, but not level. Great open feeling, just being there. Well stocked store, with microwave for heating snacks and hot dogs. Male at front office was nice, had good business attitude, and courteous. Called me Sir. Stayed only one night, would stay again, if given a chance to travel through there. This RV park gives you a feeling of great openness,
Date of Stay: July, 2014
We got there at 8 PM, office was closed, but the assistant manager saw us drive up and went to greet us. He told us to pick a site and settle up in the morning at the office. He was very helpful an friendly. Our $15 price reflects our Passport America discount. Laundry room is modern and immaculately clean. Has over 6 dryers and over 6 washers. Men's and Lady's bathrooms with shower are immaculately clean and in very good shape. There is free coffee at the clubhouse. Club house has television set, sofa and seats for relaxing. Free billiard table, puzzle games available with reading books. Tables for card playing or eating. Lady at check in desk very friendly. It was a delight meeting the lady manager and assistant manager. Outside the clubhouse is an outdoor roofed area with a Bar B Que. We were there in the summer heat passing through and decided to stay two nights to relax. Felt very safe, there were no derelict rigs from permanent residents. The park looks very well kept up. We will come back again. The free Wi-Fi was available about 90 % of the time. Good signal when available. Nice décor around the park with tractors and hay bails placed around the park with scattered fire rings and seating. The restaurant next door at the front is not part of the park, and has been closed for about two years now. There are no benches and there is no swimming pool. The special summer rate was $150 for the month, generally it is $200 a month. I gave it an 8 because of how immaculately clean all the public facilities were and how well kept up the park looked. I complimented the manager on my way out.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
Was there July 4th week. RV park office is at Willow Tree Motel, friendly staff. Anthony from Motel Office called me when my show tickets arrived. RV park is smallish but nice. Small swimming pool, but very clean, share it with the Motel guests. Lots of discounts available to shows at brochure center at Motel breeze way. Wife and I checked out the bathrooms, showers, laundry room. All were clean and usable. You have a short walk to restaurants "Golden Corral" and "Red Lobster". Have to walk a busy highway at cross walk to get to the Imax Theater and other restaurants. We did not have a toad and used "Ride-A-WayZ" shuttle who charges 20 bucks round trip to take you to a show and pickup and gives you exact pick up time. Taxi would be cheaper, but they do not give a pick up time. Only have a few theaters within walking distance. So you need a car to drive to them, some do not have RV parking. The RV park fee includes a free breakfast, two different cereals, donuts, coffee, toasts, muffins, and attendant to assist. Not a bad deal. I would use this park again.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
Great place to stay. Has shortcut to cross into the parking lot instead of going all the way to the street to get to the Graceland entertainment complex to purchase tour tickets. Friendly RV guest check in, lots of security, as we entered RV park driveway, security guard meets you at guard shack, records license plate number then you can proceed. RV park is right behind the Heartbreak Hotel. Restaurant at hotel opens at 3pm, great place to have a beer and food and watch free Elvis Presley DVD recorded concerts. Hotel also has a gift shop, if you do not want to go to the main entertainment center. RV park sites are grave with side grass and plenty wide. The RV Park office also has a good gift shop. Rear of Park has a forest type area for walking and picnics. Each site had a table and benches. Would definitely come here again. My wife was delighted.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
Rate reflects discount for Passport America for 1st night, and a free night for the summer special if you stay 3 nights. Place is immaculate. A bit noisy because it is almost under the interstate 10 freeway. The tour buses stop at the RV Park Office for pick up of your tour and drop you off there, too. You can walk to the French Quarter, but in the hot weather and high humidity, it is not recommended, but can be done. It is safe in the daytime to walk around the area. On the way back from the French Quarter, the RV park personnel will pick you up at 501 Basin Street, Visitor Center so you will not have to walk back through the alley in the heat. Good service. It is in a great location, very close to the French Quarter. When we got tired of walking in the heat, we ordered a taxi, to take us to the French Quarter and also to bring us back. Cost each way was 8 bucks, with the tip, it cost 10 bucks, well worth it. Small clean pool.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
Great safe, clean and friendly place for overnight. Couple at office very friendly. Place very clean. I was quoted $28, but when I got there they asked if I was a Auto Club triple A member,( yes ) then reduced it to $26. Has small area at office for watching TV and you can sit on the couch, a place to relax. I will use this RV park again. There are a lot of RV parks next to this one, similar on each side in Deming. I will pick this one next time I stop in Deming..
Date of Stay: June, 2013
It is OK for an overnight stay. Has basic cable, water, sewer, 30 amp only electric. Gravel sites, fairly level. Lots of permanent residents, few visitor open sites. No Wi-Fi. Was quoted $28 but the young man at the office said it was $30, so I took it anyway. Staff is friendly at office, they helped me find the place, after Google map got me to the wrong place in town. I would use the place again, for an overnight safe place.
Date of Stay: April, 2013
Very clean park. Parking sites are all concrete very large pads for the RV's. Grass which is trimmed and very green. No tables and benches for the regular sites. Other sites do have a table and benches, but it is extra. Check-in office staff are young people, but were friendly and helpful. Two years ago, the young kids at the check-in office seemed not to care about giving good service. Today, it is different; they all offer to assist you. Sewers are locked up, and then unlocked after they inspect your sewer hose and drainage fitting. Free shuttle service to the casino and back. Just call for pick-up to your space. I've been here in a motor home twice, obviously enjoyed the RV park, and continue to come back. Casino has expensive, good buffet and high end restaurants and some regular priced restaurants and regular priced food court. Something for everyone. Swimming pool is on the smaller side, but very clean. Price reflects my Passport America rate, which is good only Sunday to Thursday. Casino is huge and has lots of entertainment and games of chance. You will need 10 dollars cash, for a refundable deposit for the swimming pool access card. Wi-Fi worked well with my external antenna.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
One the most beautiful rv parks in California. View of the Klamath river winding is fantastic. Price includes the Wifi charges for RPI membership and river frontage space. Landscaping is beautiful. Bathroom - showers immaculately clean. I had external wifi antenna and was able to receive 100% signal strength from both park routers. You can walk to the rivers edge. It is surrounded by a forest. I will come back here. Small clubhouse with tv, puzzles and library. Friendly staff. Very clean laundry facilities. Every thing is so green, compared to the Southern California RV parks.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
The free Wi-Fi worked perfectly, signal strength of 100% with my external G-Sky antenna. I was in spaces 51-52, one street across the office. It is not a fancy RV park, but great for staying overnight. Office lady was friendly. Across the street are McDonalds and In-N-Out. If you like 'burgers' you are in hog heaven. The sites in front are short type, but a 24' motor home like mine fit just fine. I was assigned two RV spaces, but, I only needed one. The bigger rigs who get also the front two sites, park on the diagonal, in order to fit, which makes it difficult for them to reach the sewer, electric, water utilities. But, I simply pulled up next to the utilities. I would come here again, specially in the summer, because it is so hot in this area, you will need air conditioning to sleep comfortably in the evening. I have no complaints about using this RV park for over night stays. Pea Anderson Soup restaurant is a walk from this park, over several blocks in length and going over the 1-5 freeway. It is doable, but you have to put on your 'walking shoes.'

CHICAGO — A 40-year prison sentence was handed a Chicago man convicted of sexual assault after a rape kit linked him to a 2002 attack.Steven Murphy was accused of sexually assaulting a woman who was on her way to buy milk for her children in October 2002. After the attack, the victim reported the incident and gave her clothes to Harvey police. The rape kit was untested for five years. It was discovered with dozens of others during a 2007 raid of the Harvey Police Department by Illinois State Police and the Cook County sheriff's department.Officials say investigators were led to the 36-year-old Murphy after he was convicted of a 2007 burglary and his DNA entered into a statewide database.Murphy was sentenced Thursday by Circuit Judge Michelle Pitman.

"I called it," Dancing pro Karina Smirnoff said of Kristi Yamaguchi's win, "She may have been the best celebrity dancer that's ever been on the show and I take my hat off to her, not only because she is an amazing competitor, but an amazing person as well, and she deserved to win." Judge Carrie Ann Inaba couldn't have said it any better, remarking of the Ballas-Yamaguchi win, "I'm really proud of Kristi, don't really realize it… but she had to struggle with developing the emotional side of a performance, and that is not an easy thing to do." Finally breaking the DWTS testosterone stronghold, the Olympic gold medalist tearfully grabbed her trophy after the show and rushed to her hockey-playing husband Bret Hedican's side, shouting, "It's like the Stanley Cup!"
They Are the Champions A trio of former DWTS champs took in the show from the frontlines of the parquet, with season one's Kelly Monaco, season two champ Drew Lachey and season five's Helio Castroneves spending much of the two-hour dance extravaganza laughing together as they critiqued each dance and playfully heckled show hostess Samantha Harris. Both Castroneves and Lachey led the audience in DWTS first ever pre-dance standing ovation when Marlee Matlin and partner Fabian Sanchez took the stage. Marlee's Double-Standing O While all the former contestants–from tennis champ Monica Seles to actor Steve 'The Gutte' Guttenberg–got a warm reception back in the ballroom, crowd favorite Marlee Matlin got a double-standing ovation. As the deaf actress and partner Fabian Sanchez hit the dancefloor for their mambo, the crowd rose and cheered on the Oscar winner before she had even taken a step. Following their dance, the judges leaped from their seats to applaud the duo for their crisp routine. "It was like my second take, and I f---ing nailed it!" Matlin later declared, adding through her interpreter, "Twenty-two million got to see me complete the routine--and do it the way that it was intended to be done. It was my last dance in front of everybody, with my partner Fabian, and I could not be more happy!"
Laila's Just Desserts Finishing in third place on DWTS is an achievement, but pulling off a lime-green maternity dress and smuggling a plate of food into the ballroom are feats that only season four finalist Laila Ali could accomplish. The pro boxer--and expectant mother--took her seat with hubby Curtis Conway, and wasn't shy about noshing on carrots and grapes, with a box of Lemonheads serving as her dessert. "I told them that I had to bring food in here," the smiling Ali said of the normally rigid production crew. "I just told them that it was for my baby."
The Man Behind Marissa Marissa Jaret Winokur hit the dancefloor with her usual cheering section in place leading the "Winokur Wave." But one man was noticeably missing: Winokur's husband, King of the Hill writer Judah Miller, who was relegated to the "standing room only" section due to his admittedly "shabby" attire. "I got held up at work, and had to rush over here without changing," Miller said of his decidedly non-ballroom attire of a T-shirt, jeans and hoodie. Even from the "cheap seats," Miller was awed by his wife's moves, taking in her performance with his hands clasped in front of his chest and beaming as women from different sections of the audience yelled out, "We love you, Marissa!"
The Finale's Biggest Surprise Kristi's win wasn't as big of a shocker as Adam Corolla's encore performance of his Zorro-on-a-unicycle dance on last night's final results show… or his post-dance speech. Said the outlandish deejay following his dance: "This is why the terrorists hate us--we've got black, and white, Hispanic, and Asian, gay, straight, and Guttenberg! All working together for one common goal... And the mirror-ball doesn't care what color you are, or what God you pray to!" As the show cut to commercial, Bruno Tonioli stood up, and grabbed his coveted "ten" paddle, waving it in the air as Carolla, and partner Julianne Hough, made their way off the stage. --Reagan Alexander

Public Service Broadcasting Annual Report 2012
Executive summary
Ofcom has a duty to assess the designated public service broadcasters, taken together, in terms of their delivery of the public service purposes as set out in the Communications Act 2003. Ofcom's Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) Annual Report provides an evidence base for assessing the delivery of PSB on the five main PSB channels (BBC One, BBC Two, ITV1, Channel 4 and Channel 5), the BBC digital channels and S4C. Further information relating to the evidence base can be found in the appendices and data tables available with this report.
- Total spending on PSB network programming across the five main PSB channels and the BBC digital channels decreased by 8% in real terms in 2011 to £2.8bn. This reduction is a continuation of the 20% decrease in spend over the past five years. A similar trend was evident for first-run originated programmes, with expenditure 6% lower than 2010 at £2.4bn. This continues a year-on-year decline (with the exception of 2010); over the five-year period; spending was down by 18% in real terms.
- 2011 was a quiet year for sport, with first-run spend on sport down by 23% compared to 2010; excluding sports from first-run spending, investment in network programming in 2011 fell by 0.3% year on year.
- Year-on-year real-term spend on first-run originations varied across channels. Expenditure rose by the biggest percentage on Channel 5, up by 45% to £95m, while in absolute terms, Channel 4's spending increase was greatest (up by £35m to £372m). The most pronounced percentage reduction in first-run investment in 2011 was on BBC One, down by 16% to £719m; in absolute terms, BBC One spend also fell by the greatest amount, down by £140m.
- Over a five-year period, first-run spend across the five main PSB channels decreased by 18%; the reductions in spend were most substantial on Channel 5 (down 27%) and ITV1/ITV Breakfast (down by 22%). Significant reductions in first-run content spend were also made by Channel 4 (down by 18%) and on BBC One (down by 17%).
- Despite the year-on-year decline in investment in first-run originated content, hours of first-run programming increased in 2011 by 295 hours; from 31,872 in 2010 to 32,167 in 2011. All of this increase was driven by the commercial PSBs combined (ITV1/ITV Breakfast, Channel 4 and Channel 5) which increased first-run hours by 495 in 2011, while the BBC saw a decline of 200 hours on this measure.
- Viewing of television appears to have increased since 2006 (from 3.6 to 4.0 hours per day in 2011, as in 2010), according to BARB . Viewing of the five main PSB channels declined between 2006 and 2009 (2.5 hours per day to 2.3 hours per day), but in 2011 moved back closer to 2006 levels at 2.4 hours, although this is lower than in 2010 (2.5 hours per day).
- The proportion of people watching BBC One in a typical week has increased over the past five years from 77% in 2006 to 79% in 2011. BBC Two has grown from 52% to 54%, whereas ITV1, Channel 4 and Channel 5 have each shown decreases (ITV1 from 69% to 67%, Channel 4 from 57% to 53% and Channel 5 from 42% to 40%).
- Each of the five main PSB channels has seen a decline in its share of television consumed. In 2006 their aggregated viewing share stood at 67% and decreased to 54% in 2011. At the same time their digital portfolio channels have each increased in share: in total they increased from 9% in 2006 to just under 20% in 2011. As a result the combined share of the five main PSBs and their digital portfolio channels stood at 73% in 2011, against 76% in 2006.
- Audiences continue to value PSB programming. Ofcom's PSB Tracker shows that audience ratings of the importance of the PSB purposes and characteristics remained high in 2011:
- The statements which ranked the highest in terms of importance related to Purpose 1: 81% of UK adults rated highly the importance of 'its news programmes are trustworthy' as did 76% for 'its regional news programmes provide a wide range of good quality news about my area'.
- Well-made, high quality programmes' was considered the most important characteristic, at 78%.
- The statements which ranked the lowest in terms of importance were 'it shows high quality soaps or dramas made in the UK' and 'its programmes show different kinds of cultures with the UK', with 53% and 58% of UK adults respectively rating these as highly important.
- In 2011, opinions of the delivery of the PSB purposes and characteristics continued to vary:
- The statements that ranked highest on delivery were related to Purpose 1: 62% of UK adults scored the delivery of 'its news programmes are trustworthy' highly, as did 61% for 'its programmes help me understand what's going on in the world'.
- 'Well-made, high quality programmes' was the highest-ranking characteristic, at 59%. Over four in ten of all audiences thought the PSB channels delivered well for most other purposes and characteristics.
- Lower performance scores were given to both Purpose 3 and 4: 'Reflecting and strengthening our cultural identity' and 'Making us aware of different cultures/viewpoints'. The results showed that just over four in ten (43%) thought the PSB channels did well on 'portraying my region fairly to the rest of the UK' and 'Its programmes show different kinds of cultures within the UK'.
- Overall satisfaction with all the main PSB channels combined remains high, with four in five (80%) of those who ever watch any PSB channel claiming to be either quite, or very, satisfied

World Bank Issues Draft Statement Carbon Pricing
5 May 2014: The World Bank is calling on countries and companies to back a proposed statement on carbon pricing that is expected to be launched at the UN Secretary-General's Climate Summit on 23 September 2014.
Speaking at a session on carbon pricing during the Abu Dhabi Ascent, a preparatory meeting for the Climate Summit, Rachel Kyte, World Bank Vice-President and Special Envoy for Climate Change, stated that "a carbon price provides a necessary signal for investment in low-carbon and resilient growth." She stressed the need to include carbon pricing in "any package of policies to scale up mitigation," adding that the Bank's draft statement "reflects a sense of urgency and inevitably for carbon pricing."
Speaking to the press before a closed-door meeting with finance ministers in April, World Bank President Jim Yong Kim also urged governments to take on the issue of carbon pricing "despite the fact that it is controversial."
The focus of the debate over carbon pricing has evolved from whether to have carbon pricing to how to effectively put a price on carbon, and a number of countries, provinces and cities are already developing carbon-pricing policies and instruments.
The draft statement, titled 'Pricing Carbon to Achieve Climate Mitigation and Development Goals,' stresses that climate change is "one of the greatest global challenges" and threatens to undo "decades of development and prosperity."
It underlines that the contribution of Working Group III of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), titled 'Climate Change 2014: Mitigation of Climate Change,' stresses the importance of putting a price on carbon to help limit global mean temperature increase to 2°C above pre-industrial levels.
It further states, inter alia, that: depending on each country's circumstances and priorities, various instruments can be used to price carbon, such as emissions trading systems, carbon taxes and/or payments for emission reductions; in 2014, over 40 national and 20 subnational jurisdictions adopted emissions trading schemes or carbon taxes, accounting for 22% of global emissions; and companies are working within carbon pricing systems, developing expertise in managing their emissions, and incorporating emission reduction targets into business planning.
The proposed statement states that governments and companies pledge to work together to apply a carbon price throughout the global economy by: strengthening carbon-pricing policies that help redirect investment toward meeting the climate challenge; implementing existing carbon pricing policies to better manage investment risks and opportunities; and enhancing cooperation to share information, expertise and lessons learned on developing and implementing carbon pricing through "readiness" platforms.
It further invites all countries, companies and other stakeholders to join the "growing coalition of the working." [World Bank Press Release] [Draft Statement on Pricing Carbon] [IISD RS Story on the Abu Dhabi Ascent] [World Bank Pricing Carbon Webpage]

New International Reader's Version (NIrV) Bible
The New International Reader's Version (NIrV) is the Bible for kids, ESL speakers, and those who want a Bible that's easy to read. Written at a third-grade level, the NIrV is the clearest, most accessible Bible available today.
About the NIrV Bible
The New International Reader's Version (NIrV) is a special edition of the NIV, written at a third grade reading level. Like the NIV, the NIrV combines a commitment to accuracy with a text that is easy to read and understand.
The NIrV uses the words of the NIV whenever it can. Sometimes it uses shorter words. It explains words that might be hard to understand. The NIrV also shortens sentences and avoids using words that could have more than one meaning. All of this makes the NIrV a great Bible for children, those learning English as a second language, or anyone who wants an easier to understand version of the Bible.
An accurate Bible, plan and simple
At the time the Bible was written, God's people used the Hebrew and Greek languages. So the first writers of the Bible used those languages. The NIrV translators wanted their text to say just what the first writers of the Bible said. So they kept going back to what the Hebrew and Greek said.
The NIrV uses the best and oldest copies of the Hebrew and Greek Bible manuscripts. Some of the first English Bibles could not use those copies because they had not yet been found. But today we can check copies that are closer in time to the ones the first Bible writers wrote. We wanted to make sure we were giving you the actual Word of God.
As with the NIV, the NIrV Bible text is reviewed and updated to keep it current with today's English. Accuracy in Bible translation means paying attention to both the original languages and to our language today. This keeps the Word of God fresh for people reading the Bible today.
Key features of the NIrV
Based on the best-selling NIV
Readers at a third grade level
Uncompromisingly accurate to the original languages
Uses short sentences and simple English that's easy to understand
Perfect for children, those learning to read English, or anyone who wants an easier to understand Bible

The Valley's Online Grassroots News and Community Resource
The Franklin Regional Council of Governments is bringing to Greenfield members of the Danish Board of District Heating this Thursday to present the history of district heating in Denmark and how their individual and collective expertise and experience can help local communities here establish similar systems. "This is a really exciting opportunity to learn more about a wonderful solution to our energy problems. We're actively pursing a biomass combined heat and power project in Greenfield and it's great that we have this chance to introduce it to people," said Wendy Marsden, a member of the Greenfield District Heating Project Steering Committee. Over 50% of the homes in Scandinavia are heated using community district heat. The Danish Board of District Heating is a private organization representing the key players in the Danish district heating industry and has developed partnerships in more than fifty countries as they are actively sharing innovative district heating technologies with communities in other countries. Additional information about them is available on their web site at www.dbdh.dk.
Dr. Morris Pierce with the University of Rochester will also be giving a presentation on his experience with a Danish-style district heating system recently installed on his campus along with an overview of his efforts to develop new district heating systems throughout the northeast U.S. Tom Murphy, Chair of the Greening Greenfield Energy Committee, has heard him speak on a number of occasions and praises Dr. Pierce's efforts in, "bringing this energy technology to the community level in a way that can make real economic and ecological change." Dr. Pierce will provide a basic overview of district energy systems and outline the process for developing one or more demonstration projects in Western Massachusetts.Please join us for this important public information session. There will be a chance immediately after the meeting to break into groups for each community to see what you can do to begin implementing this in your own town.For more information, contact

7 Thoughts That Come With Pregnancy After a LossDiana Stone
As I sit here on the eve of 6 weeks of pregnancy, I have realized how often the loss of my twins plays into this pregnancy. Even though I don't want it too, even though I try to tell myself again and again that this time could be different, that worry solves nothing… the fact is, it's there. Those thoughts are always going to be there now.
I share these with my therapist and I'm expected to work through them, but surprisingly I heard something that I didn't expect:
"These are normal thoughts that every mother I've ever counseled who became pregnant again has."
So I'm going to share them with you. I'm not looking for advice or comfort, but rather to shed some light on how it feels to go through this, and to hopefully give someone else reading the same, "Whew, I'm not crazy!" feeling that I got from knowing I wasn't alone in this.
All in all, even though I talk about my fears and worries often because it's so therapeutic for me, I really am thrilled. I try so often to let those thoughts play out, to honor what I went through and the reality of losing a baby, but then to remind myself that I could very well end up with another little one in 7ish months.
If you're pregnant or considering trying to be after expereincing a loss, these are some of the thoughts and feelings you may have during this time. Know it's ok, even if no one else understands.
I Plan Ahead Everywhere 1 of 7Each time I head to the bathroom outside our home, a plan of what to do if I lose the baby there races through my head. It makes me feel crazy but I have heard from so many other women pregnant after a loss who do the same thing. It's almost an unconscious thought now.
The Packing Dilemma 2 of 7I thought about this as we headed home for the holidays. What if I miscarried there? I might need regular clothes (as comfortable as maternity are) because it would be too painful to wear them still. Or pads? Other supplies? I wasn't sure, packing them almost seemed like tempting fate, and not like being foolish to a reality many of us face.
What if I Never Get Another Baby? 3 of 7This was something I struggled with even during our adoption process. Knowing I would miss that newborn phase. And now, it hurts still. I wonder each time I see a little one if I will ever get that again. It feels selfish knowing some never do and I did have Bella, but there is always that ache for another time.
What if I Have Twins Again? 4 of 7Don't get me wrong, if I knew I could carry twins to full term I would love to have them, but then I'd have 19 babies at a time if I knew they would all be ok. The number doesn't matter to me - except knowing that twins more than likely would have the same outcome with me losing them. And for that reason, I pray for just one healthy little one I'll be able to carry to full term.
I Feel Like an Emotional Yo-Yo 5 of 7It's an odd feeling to be completely terrified of this experience that you have no control over, and yet want it so badly you'd try again. I can walk into Babies R Us for a tiny pair of shoes for a picture and walk out about to cry knowing I should be buying two of everything.
What Happens if I Don't Make it to Full Term? 6 of 7I know what I went through was so, so hard. But then I read stories of other women who had their babies in the NICU for days/weeks/months and sometimes still didn't get to take them home. How on earth do parents do that without just falling apart? It blows me away.
How Would Another Loss Affect My Daughter? 7 of 7I've been told many times that children are resilient, and I agree. But I also know that 7 months later, my daughter still asks about me going to the doctor and the two babies, and each and every day she asks me if I'm sad. So for a then 2 1/2 year old to carry that with her that long - it's pretty major. She's in play therapy for it all, but it crosses my mind about what would happen to her emotionally if I lost another baby.

WELLSVILLE - Wellsville Fire Chief Bill Smith is officially being classified as on vacation, with retired village firefighter Dave Lloyd presently serving as acting fire chief following a revelation of Smith's lack of certification last month.
Wellsville Mayor Susan Haugh confirmed via phone Tuesday evening that an email received by The Review, stating that Smith has been serving as Wellsville fire chief without state certification since 2009, is correct.
In Ohio, firefighters must be re-certified every three years. According to Haugh, six Wellsville firefighters took their re-certification tests online. Of those six, Smith and volunteer firefighter Mick Comparetto expressed unease after the exam was complete, not sure that their completed exams had gone through.
Haugh says they were assured by officials with Ohio Emergency Medical Services (an agency of the Ohio Department of Public Safety) that the exams had, in fact, been received, and that both men could expect their new certification cards through the mail. "When they questioned this, they were assured that the certification went through," she said.
Haugh says no cards arrived, and further inquiries were made via email and phone with OEMS. "They were again assured that everything was fine," she said. Following these assurances, no further overtures were made. "We knew nothing about it," she said. "Everybody felt that everything was fine."
When Smith and Comparetto recently attempted to re-certify, however, they became aware that their respective 2009 certifications had never gone through. They faxed emails they had received from the OEMS back to the agency's office in Columbus in order to state their case. Haugh says she was informed that their board was to meet on Aug. 26, during which it would review the case.
However, the board declined to make a decision, forwarding the case to a review committee that has not yet ruled on the matter. "That's when we knew that we had to find an interim chief to fill Chief Smith's shoes," she said. In his place, Lloyd, who previously served as chief, was unofficially appointed by the mayor on Aug. 26. Haugh says village solicitor Andy Beech, who has been away from work for family reasons, will consult her on the matter.
Though Lloyd has been retired for several years to this point, Haugh stated that firefighters are granted a year's grace before they need to certify.
Haugh was not able to confirm the legal status of any inspections made and citations given by Smith during this period in which he hasn't been certified to do so. "The review board will come back on that," she said. "We have to wait for their answer to see where we go from there."
Neither Smith nor Haugh were in attendance at Tuesday evening's council meeting and Smith was unavailable for comment via phone.

- Thu, Jun 28, 2012, 11:59 PMGreat theme again, Mary.
One tiny issue:
$string['mastheaddesc'] = 'Whatever you add to this textarea will be displayed in the header(!!!) of every page. You can add images and text using the HTML editor.';
- Sun, Sep 16, 2012, 5:54 AMjust download it
- Mon, Oct 8, 2012, 7:17 PMNice theme, Mary.
- Mon, Nov 26, 2012, 4:56 AMHi Mary,
Nice theme.
One minor bug: the English language string [mastheaddesc,theme_aaradyha] "Whatever you add to this textarea will be displayed in the footer of every page. You can add images and text using the HTML editor."
should have "header" instead of "footer" (I think), as the description for footer is already present in another string.
Thanks in advance for your help.
ps: I tried this theme in a 2.4dev local server and I got some very odd behaviour when I tried local language strings modifications. I remain perplexed. Will you make this theme available for Moodle 2.4 branch soon?
- Mon, Nov 26, 2012, 6:41 AMYes I know that is a 'bug' which is fixed in the GITHUB version.
What problems did you get?
- Fri, Nov 30, 2012, 1:47 AMHi Mary,
I found some English strings appearing within the Aaradyha theme settings that were not available for local language modifications nor in AMOS (strings for translation to other languages) for the theme, but they turned out to be very recently introduced English strings within Moodle 2.4dev core that I had not seen the day before (as my local server was 2 days old).

Idris Elba to play Nelson Mandela
Golden Globe-winning actor Idris Elba ("Luther," "The Wire") is gearing up to play former South African president Nelson Mandela in the "Long Walk to Freedom."
Mandela was a prominent anti-Apartheid activist, who spent 27 years in prison for leading the opposition against South Africa's racist government policies. He was released in 1990 and helped bring democracy to the country. He served as president from 1994 to 1999.
Justin Chadwick ("The Other Boleyn Girl") will direct "Freedom," with William Nicholson adapting from Mandela's own autobiography. The film is looking to start production in May, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Morgan Freeman recently played Mandela in Clint Eastwood's 2009 film "Invictus."
Elba will soon be seen in Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" and Guillermo del Toro's "Pacific Rim."

In the hierarchy of the Hindu Trinity, Lord Shiva the destroyer comes behind Lord Brahma who is the creator and Lord Vishnu who is the preserver. The divine laws of the universes dictate that one of these cannot exist without the others but out of this trinity of Hindu Lords Shiva is generally referred to as the good one of the three. This is because his destruction targets sorrow and evil and thus he is generally portrayed smiling, benevolence and tranquility personified. For this reason, one may opt to get a Shiva tattoo as a stance against these dissonant forces that are believed to be at work in the universe. In fact, Shiva's chief goal is to ultimately destroy any disharmony within the universal order until evil and sorrow is eliminated so that the world can be created anew. Psychologists refer to this as 'positive disintegration' however Shiva's cosmic role can vary in interpretation among Westerners.
According to Hindu beliefs as the forces of good and evil battle for control of the universe, this creates a dangerously unbalanced situation with our very existence caught in the middle. If this situation goes beyond reparation then Shiva will have to step in and disband the whole cosmic order to shield billions of souls from unnecessary agony and torment before the universal cycle can be renewed. Symbolically this is not unlike the cycle of nature or life, as spring follows winter then the dawn must eventually come after the night and after death comes rebirth. To this end, a Shiva tattoo also expresses mercy and compassion as he protects us fundamentally from pain and suffering caused by the greed, anger and lust of others. He also blesses us with enlightenment, grace and wisdom but with are so many different sides to Shiva; his image often symbolizes different things to different people.
The white skinned figure of Shiva is notable for several distinguishing features including a dark blue throat. Additionally, he has three eyes, several arms and carries a trident. The third eye is believed to represent spiritual powers and knowledge, while its compelling gaze has the strength to obliterate evil but also emits an unharnessed energy that can direct him to take things to the extreme. His exposed body is coated in ashes and he is generally depicted riding a white bull. He is placed in a right-facing orientation which is suggestive of Shiva's eternal laws and justice that safeguard the order of the universe.
In many depictions, Siva is pictured with the Mother-goddess Parvati by his side, signifying an exceptional balance of power and Hindus consider this pairing to be the perfect illustration of connubial bliss. Some representations show Shiva as half male, half female for this reason and the Kundalas, ear rings, worn by Shiva also tie in with this as they signify the male and female ideology of creation. He also wears a necklace of 108 beads, each of which represents the elements used to create the world while the snake coiled around Shiva's neck indicates his yogic power. There are three coils to this snake and each symbolizes past, present and future. In other instances Shiva is referred to as the 'the Lord of Dance', a rather fitting metaphorical comparison given the admirable job he does in maintaining the rhythm of the universe's cosmic balance. With such a rich and colorful history there is a great deal of symbolism to a Shiva tattoo however as the destroyer of evil and ignorance and an admirable icon for will, knowledge and action he certainly makes a very noble body art design.

Question: Can you explain acute myelogenous leukemia? Someone we know was recently diagnosed with it, and two weeks later he was dead. What makes it so deadly?
Answer: Acute myelogenous leukemia, or AML, is a cancer of the blood in which immature, abnormal white blood cells grow rapidly and uncontrollably in the bone marrow and interfere with its ability to produce red blood cells, healthy white blood cells, and platelets. It's a fairly rare cancer, with men affected more often than women.

Definitely more. Even with the pinky finger extension on the magazine, recoil on the G29 is harsher, since its not a fixed finger extension like the G20 has, which is part of the grip.
10mm is great an all, I just don't like the Glocks, as far as grip feel. Hence, my sig-line! :D
January 8, 2003, 10:34 PM
There is definitely more recoil with the G29 over the G20, but I find it to be very controllable.
I have Hogue slip ons on both guns and I like them very much.
Sorry I can't give a better answer, but you won't be dissappointed if you get one.
January 8, 2003, 10:35 PM
Have both. My hands are wide and "pinky" hangs below -a grip extension mag baseplate will be tried soon - so two finger grip. Where G20 rotates around about wrist area, G29 has pivot closer to palm. Seems to kick up slightly more and quicker. Hardly an issue, the broad backstrap cushions and controls the movement very well.
January 9, 2003, 12:13 AM
I own a G29 and have shot the G20. I do think the G29 kicks a tad more, but the reason I like it over the G20 is because of the short grip and the fact that a can rest the pinky of my firing hand on the underside of the magazine in the gun. Most folks like a full grip, but I have found that being able to rest my pinky under the gun helps me to control the gun in recoil. It is as if you not only have a horizontal grip on the gun but also some vertical leverage as well. That's why I like the mini Glocks over the full size models. I like the G26 over the G19 or G17, and the G29 over the G20 for this reason. Just my .02
Good luck, and good shooting! The 10mm is a blast! :D
January 9, 2003, 02:45 PM
I have a G29 with a Pearce grip extension. I've never fired a Glock 20, but the 29 is quite manageable.
Nero Steptoe
January 9, 2003, 09:20 PM
I'd recommend that you consider installing AGrip on your G29. I shoot .400 Cor-Bon through my G30, and I'd guess that the .400 Cor-Bon is pretty close in recoil to 10mm. I don't have any trouble with the recoil on my G30.

The finished Quilt square measures 12 1/2" x 12 1/2". Directions to complete this project are clearly stated with diagrams included. You will enjoy the embroidery and quilting the front. So cute for Christmas.
