Globalized Babylonian Banking Crisis: An Out of the Cities Calling
by Sister Sabbay (November 30, 2008)
SDA Writer's Corner
What is the Time of Trouble ?
Please watch video posted below, then proceed to read the full document. This is very important for Seventh-day Adventists in these End Times, warranting that God's people prayfully move OUT OF THE CITIES.
Video: \"Out of the Cities Part 1\" by Elder Westbrook
The SDA Churches' sleepiness and lack of edification will not be excused by God, as since 1844 we have possessed all the materials, permitting us to move forward with the Everlasting Gospel manifesting and teaching the Righteousness of the Messiah, unto Sealing and Empowerment, solidifying our Absolute and Unchanging Victory over sin.
Video: Globalized Banking System's Crisis Factors Identified by two Atheists, Taleb and Mandelbrot
Although both Benet Mandelbrot and Nassim Taleb are Atheists, their message appears to have some validity economically. The implications are important for our lifetime and need to be understood by all, as patient saints, cognizant of the Forthcoming Mark of the Beast, Enforced Sunday Law, as it will require ground work to establish a system that is centralized, controlled by the Papacy. Mandelbrot and Taleb, who endorse and author this book \"Black Swan\" (1987 during the Reagan Admin.) appear to have a grasp of the Volatility of the fast spreading Globalized Banking system.

This system is fragile I agree; placing centralized power in ONE BANK can never be stable. One mistake made by the Vatican's Papal Powers-that-be will create major problems for the populace.
Video: \"Out of the Cities Part 2\" by Elder Westbrook
Additionally, during the year of 1987, Reagan was meeting regularly with Pope John Paul II, suspectedly formalizing a Global Banking System. In 1999, at an Interfaith meeting, Pope John Paul II was elected the universal spokesperson, chief Spiritual Guide, and Overseer for the World. George W. Bush also stated that the best way to honor Pope John Paul II is to honor his word containing the Sanctity of pagan Sunday, thus supressing the Sanctified Sabbath (Exo 20:8).
Video: \"America's Cities, Forewarning of Impending Martial Law\" by A Group of Scholars
As Seventh-day Adventists, we understand that Electronic Banking has serious implications for our Purchasing Power, thus we must prepare for this by learning how to grow our own providence, OUT OF THE CITIES. A Pseudo-Protestant, Billy Graham, an awardee of the Templeton prize, has been noted for his alignment with Papal Powers. Such an alignment by the Image of the Beast, Pseudo-Protestant Entities, will endorse the Forthcoming Mark of the Beast, Enforced Pagan Sunday Law and its PERSECUTION of 7th-day Sabbath keepers (Rev 13:15):
Article: Billy Graham Exposed for Alignment with Papal Powers
God calls his people out of ruins, let's revisit the example of Lot, instructing his family to LEAVE sodom and gomorrah, fleeing to the mountains, God's warning; avoiding destruction:
Gen 19:17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
We are TRULY in serious times, as was Lot and his family. As illustrated by the level of immorality, existing in our world today. Homosexuals conjoining in marital unions, a salient example. Another obvious example of extreme IMMORALITY is Trans-sexuals procreating; unnatural affection (Rom 1:31, 1Cor 6:9, 2Tim 3:3) combined with God's precious blessing of fruitfulness, multiplication of mankind; created in His own image (Gen 1:27). Mankind and its iniquities have reached unto heaven, leading into the loud cry of the third angel's message (Rev 14:9-11); the fourth angel's CRY (Rev 18:4,5).
Video: Demon Possessed Gay Marriage Supporters Attack Elderly Woman in California (Palm Springs)
Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Video: Larry King on CNN \"Pregnant Man\"
There are several other examples in the bible which illustrate an OUT OF THE CITY'S call. God has chosen the Seventh-day Adventist Message, a movement, which has been unique in re-enforcing the keeping of the ten commandments, the decalogue, the Character God and the Faith of Jesus (Isa 8:20, Rev 12:17, 14:12). God's True SDA remnant will continue with the movement, responding to God's calling, despite imminent Sunday Law Persecution (Rev 13:11-18). By Scriptural allegorical reference, Corporate and Elitest America is the \"Lamb-Like Beast\" that emerges as gentle and peaceful, yet speaks as a dragon (Rev 13:11). Recalling history, Pagan Rome enacted the Sunday law in AD 321, later re-enforced by Papal Rome, permitting the death and persecution of Seventh-day Sabbath Believers and Keepers. \"In the days of Rome's supremacy there were instruments of torture to compel assent to her doctrines\" (Great Controversy p.319/569).
American Legal Documentation, Containing Evidence of Dormant Pagan Sunday Legislation
We must abhor the Beast, The Romish Church's Papacy, and it's Image, Corporate and Elitest \"Protestant\" Entities within America, teaching others likewise, as harmony with the these Babylonian Powers is disharmony and disloyalty to God (Great Controversy p. 316/563). Martin Luther, a spiritually-driven reformer for Christ, was clear about his stance for absolute Truth in the scriptures. Sadly, \"Protestantism\" has majorly aligned with (Non-Denominationalism) Ecumenical deceptive teachings, falling into apostasy. Thus, the Roman Catholic church, Mother Harlot, and the \"Protestant\" Churches, its daughters (Rev 17:4,5) have become instruments of Satan, determined to prevent the completion of God's work. The Roman Church takes pride in the Laodicean condition of the SDA Movement (Rev 3:14,15). However, to God be the Glory, as \"The reformation did not, as many suppose, end with Luther. It is to continue to the close of this world's history\" (Great Controversy p.76/148). \"But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day\" (Pro 4:18).
Targeted individuals in these PRESENT TIMES may be victims of High Technological Electromagnetic weaponry, disguised killings, manifested as heart attacks, myocardial infarction.
Vaccinations also can no longer be trusted as they have evidenced levels of mercury attributed to child emotional problems, such as Autism, a pervasive developmental disorder. Defraud European (by
origin) pharmaceutical companies share in this disguised persecution of the populous, as they infiltrate medical organizations, steering physicians away from herbal remedies, encouraging legal
drugs for \"treatment\". Thus brethren, we must diligently heed the calling of the TRUE WITNESS, Christ, remaining obedient and INFORMED; ensuring the sealing POWER OF GOD (Rev 12:17, Rev 7:4). The
teaching that the Seventh-day Adventist movement is Babylon is not of God (2 Selected Messages p. 63, 64), true Adventism is the Church of Philadelphia, uniquely obedient to God's ten
commandments, loving and brotherly in character (Rev 3:7,8). As we understand that history will repeat itself, as the SDA church was given the precious message of RIGHTEOUSNESS by Faith (at the
Minneapolis Conference by Elders Waggoner and Jones, Testimonies to Ministers p. 91, 92 ): for over 100 years, most rejected this PRECIOUS TRUTH, remaining lethargic and spiritually ASLEEP (Rev
3:14,15). God will move his message forward, with His True SDA remnant.
Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Overcomers in these end times will be fueled by the Holy Spirit's Early and Latter rain (Jer 5:24, Zech 10:1, James 5:7), bringing God's Harvest to the \"Measure of the Stature of the fullness of Christ\" (Eph 4:13). Our focus, the manifestation of the fruits of the Holy Spirit (Gal 5:22-23), as we \"take on the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the WORD OF GOD\" (Eph 6:17). The church of Philadelphia is true Adventism. As we prepare for the Latter Rain (James 5:7), embracing the return of Christ, true sincere believers must focus on becoming harvest ripe, perfecting Christ-like characters. Harvest ripe by biblical definition entails a process of establishing ...\"first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear\"(Mark 4:26-29). \"Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord\" (Act 3:19). Once, our christ-like Characters have become converted and faultless, we have reached the stage of \"the ear\" , poised for the showers of the Spiritually enriching latter rain (Zech 10:1, James 5:7).
We must focus on strengthening the true church of Christ, those that keep the Ten commandments of God and the faith of Jesus Christ, adhering to the law and the testimony. The focus on the light of Truth, a nonnegotiable objective, will be kept solely by true Christians, obedient and faithful; God's peculiar people (Isa 8:20, Titus 2:14, 1Peter 2:9, Rev 14:12). An uncompromising, unchangeable, immutable faith in the Messiah, our Reedemer, is thus required. God wants his chosen to daily grow in sanctification, developing in the Character of God. Finding love and reassurance in the Messiah by grace through faith, God's remnant can become firmly rooted in Truth; receptive of the Seal of God (John 15:1-7, Eph 2:8, Eph 4:30). With guile-free mouths and blemish-free garments, those chosen, successfully withstanding the trials and tribulations without the aid of an intercessor, will be rewarded as God's precious gems, 144,000 in number (Rev 7:1-4).
Most recently, in 2008, Banks inability to lend money is apparent as evidenced by the collapse of Banking systems, causing a tax fund Bail out. Globalization has far greater consequences than we
have yet seen, as this 700 billion dollar issue along with hedge funds being forced to liquidate, driving its prices down, will create the most WORRISOME scenario for all. Powerful/Elite
\"Protestant\" Entities in America will become the image of the Roman Catholic Church's Papacy, reinstating the laws of Sunday law persecution (Rev 13:11-18). The National Sunday Law by definition
will begin and apply to the United States of America, later becoming globally standardized, while the world welcomes a cashless system. America, with it's tremendous Power and Influence, as per
the scriptures, written by John the Revelator, will allow the Papacy to establish Sunday as a Persecutory law (Rev 13:14,15), THE MARK OF THE BEAST (Rev 13:16). Remember, while exiled on the Isle
of Patmos, John was given allegorical visions, as the Romans would have murdered him, had they been able to understand his inspired messages.
We are truly living in the END TIMES and as the potential 144,000, we will need to be spiritually equip to withstand trials and tribulation without Christ's mediation (Daniel 12:1,2; Rev 6:17, 7:1-4). The Mark of the Beast, ENFORCED Sunday Pagan Worship, having \"no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image\" [Romanism &\"Protestant\" Entities] (Rev 13:11-18, Rev 14:9-11), will cause a loss of purchasing power for God's chosen. However, the Creator will provide resources for His own \"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna...\" coriander seed, honey wafers (Exo 16:31, John 6:58, Rev 2:17). The Ten Commandments, a legal and binding Heavenly governmental ordinance, will be a last day constitutional mandate, maintained by God's chosen (Exo 20, Rev 14:12). Spiritual Babylonians will be a tool by satan, persecuting the remnant of Christ's seed (Rev 12:17). Be encouraged, as persecution will purify the faithful body of Christ (Mal 3:1-3, Tit 2:11-15, Rev 14:1-5), reserving their seat at the throne of God (Rev 3:21).

hi! sister. in the times of financial crises as of today, this essay provides adequate insight into a world away from the teachings of god and into materialistic goals. if only the teachings of god r adhered to, people'll be happy with little too and such crises'll not affect many. this is a very thoughtful effort. keep it up. lol. ;-)
Thanks for your comment and time. Yes, God's way, as described in His Holy Scriptures, the King James Version of the Bible, is the best way to avoid unnecessary uncertainties. God's way is the best way, as we continue perfecting our Christian characters (Matt 5:48).
Sabbay :)
We are truly living in serious times. An unrelenting relationship with our Messiah and King, Jesus Christ is the only answer to this present and ongoing Financial Crisis (Galatians 4:19).

God bless !

NEWARK — The financially strapped Newark school district has spent about $330,000 over the past 15 months on catered meals and take-out food, a published report said.
On average, administrators expense about $22,000 per month to purchase food, according to the report on NBC New York's website. The food is "largely used to encourage parent involvement and to recognize students for their achievements," the report said.
Union rules also require teachers who stay late for parent-teacher conferences to be fed, the report said. Although parent-teacher conferences take place just twice per year, food has been purchased monthly.
Among the restaurants food has been ordered from are Sandwiches Unlimited, SuzyQue's BBQ and King'ss Family Restaurant and Catering, NBC said.
The Newark school district, largely funded by taxpayers throughout New Jersey, has a $42 million budget gap. Newark Teachers Union president Joseph Del Grosso told NBC New York the meal expenses were "outrageous."

Integrated refrigeration is part of a growing trend to incorporate a fully-integrated kitchen into the design of a home. What is an integrated kitchen? You may ask. Well, it's a kitchen in which everything including the cabinetry and appliances matches.
One of the most popular appliances in a fully integrated kitchen is the integrated fridge. With the front of the fridge blending into the rest of the kitchen, no longer is it a standalone object which for many is unsightly. In fact, even if you have bought all the latest in stainless steel appliances, they can still break the continuity in the rest of your kitchen. Let's face it, not even that sparkling stainless steel fridge can hide next to your wooden cream cupboards.
So, what's the solution to this? An integrated fridge that allows you to choose the type of door to be fitted to the front of the door. Often made from wood, the door can then be painted, stained or glossed to your liking. Routing, trim-work, and handles can also be added to make it look just like a regular cabinet door.
Integrated fridges can be placed anywhere due to their unique design and ventilation systems. Their superior insulation also means they can be situated right next to your oven if you so wish. There is a wide variety of styles to choose from, such as a standard fridge, drawer freezer, combination fridge/freezer, top and bottom fridge/freezer and side-by-side fridge/freezer. Wine cellars are another option, and provide an ultra chic extra to your kitchen, entertainment room, bar, or storage area. Smaller versions have even been built into master bathrooms so you can enjoy a glass of chilled wine as you relax in the tub.
Since they are priced on the higher end of the scale, you may be wondering if an integrated fridge is really worth the investment. Besides their appealing look, and great flexibility in terms of use, they are also extremely energy efficient, which can save you money in the long-term. Most models also come with electronic controls which regulate the temperature for each zone to ensure different foods stay fresh and increase storage life - another money-saver! They are also available with door alarms that will notify you if a door or drawer is left open.
Some of the brands that offer integrated refrigeration solutions in Australia include Sub-zero, Miele, Siemens and Liebherr. Browse and shop a selection of integrated fridges online.

Grand Rapids Community College has named Thomas John ("TJ") Carnegie – the former Grand Rapids Catholic Central and Albion College basketball standout – as their next men's basketball coach. He takes over the program effective July 1.
Carnegie's most recent coaching experience was with Grand Rapids Catholic Central, where he guided the varsity boys' basketball team to five 15-plus win seasons and regional, district and conference championships. "TJ brings not only great coaching experience, but a passion for the game to our basketball program," said Charlie Wells, GRCC athletic Director. Wells points out Carnegie's Grand Rapids roots and his relationship with the region's high school basketball coaches and programs as major factors in his selection. "We had a great pool of candidates, and we're very fortunate to be welcoming Coach Carnegie to our athletic program," said Wells.
Carnegie also coached at East Grand Rapids and Wyoming Lee high schools, and lists among his accomplishments a 100% graduation rate for his players during his nine-year tenure at Catholic Central and the fact that of the forty-nine players he coached there, twenty-four went to play college athletics.
"I'm very much aware of the history, tradition and success of GRCC's basketball program and admire the College's commitment to ensuring the educational success of their student athletes," said Carnegie. "I'm ready to start preparations for the upcoming season." Carnegie said he is excited about working with many of the area high schools as he begins his recruiting efforts. "In over a decade of coaching in West Michigan I competed against many of the region's basketball coaches, and will be able to recruit with some success in this area."
Carnegie replaces Kelly McEwen, who resigned after the 2010-2011 basketball season.
Grand Rapids Community College, established in 1914, offers opportunities for over 32,000 students annually in degree courses, certification and training programs, workshops and personal enrichment classes. GRCC holds classes on the downtown Grand Rapids campus as well as several additional locations throughout Kent and Ottawa counties.

Pittsburgh Penguins (19-8-0) @ Toronto Maple Leafs (15-11-1)
ROOT, SNET-O, RDS – 7:00 pm/et
Air Canada Centre – Toronto, ON
The last Pens/Leafs game from a few days ago was an entertaining contest, except for the Malkin injury of course. The Pens needed a shootout to triumph over the Leafs last time. What will happen tonight with the Pens looking to win seven in-a-row?
Season Series: 1-1-0
Last meeting that counted: March 9, 2013. Penguins won 5-4 [SO].
What we said in our recap:
Right before Sidney Crosby suffered his concussion, he was undoubtedly playing the best hockey we've ever seen him play. Then he was gone from the game for the better part of two years. It's taken Crosby 25 games to get back to where he was. There were countless "Jesus, did you see what Crosby just did" moments in this game. There was just something about his performance in this one that reminded us of the pre-concussion Sid. What's scary is that he was already leading the league in points before this.
But it wasn't just Crosby. The offense continued to roll with goals from James Neal and Pascal Dupuis. Paul Martin got credit for a goal that originally looked like Beau Bennett's.
This was one of the most entertaining games of the season. Another one that immediately comes to mind is that game in Winnipeg early in the season. It's just great hockey. The score didn't get out of hand. Every player on the ice had the chance to be the hero. It was great. It has us yearning for a Pens-Leafs playoff series.
Know Your Enemy: Pension Plan Puppets
What they're saying:
Only two days removed from a disappointing loss against the Winnipeg Jets, speculation was abound that the Toronto Maple Leafs were going to need to do something to shake up their defense corps.
With calls for Jake Gardiner coming in loud and clear, head coach Randy Carlyle decided to make a change.
However, it didn't involve Gardiner.
Following an optional skate on Thursday morning, Carlyle confirmed that defenseman John-Michael Liles was going to play against the Pittsburgh Penguins later that night. Liles had been a healthy scratch in 12 consecutive games. In 15 appearances this season, Liles has produced a goal and five assists for six points in 20:20 of average ice-time.

LINDENWOLD — An 8-year-old child who was struck by a hit-and-run driver on the way home from an amusement park died Thursday from his injuries.
Jahmil Alford died at about 11 a.m. in Cooper University Hospital in Camden.
Michael Finkelman, 57, of Pine Hill, was charged Wednesday night with leaving the scene of a serious motor vehicle crash, the Camden County Prosecutor's Office said. The charge has been changed to leaving the scene of a fatal crash. Additional charges may be filed as the case is reviewed.
Finkelman allegedly was driving a 1988 Oldsmobile station wagon at about 10:30 p.m. near the intersection of the White Horse Pike and Elm Avenue as the child and relatives, from Pennsauken, were heading to the PATCO station here after being at Clementon Park amusement park, said authorities.
Finkelman allegedly hit the 8-year-old, then drove away, authorities said.
A driver reportedly followed Finkelman and reported Finkelman's license plate number to police, authorities said.
It is approximately three miles between the amusement park and the PATCO station.

Reconnecting Consumers and Producers: On the Path Toward a Sustainable Food and Agriculture Policy
Susan A. Schneider
University of Arkansas - School of Law
May 5, 2009
Drake Journal of Agricultural Law, Forthcoming
Food, as the most essential element to human survival is inherently connected to the fabric of our social structure. Yet over time, American consumers have become disassociated with how their food is produced, processed, and marketed. At the same time, methods of food production have moved in ways that fail to adequately take into account consumer preferences, societal values, or sustainability. This article examines how and why consumers have become disconnected from the food system and what evidence there is of current efforts to reconnect. As consumers seek to learn more about their food, labeling issues come center stage. The article concludes with a discussion of recent developments regarding production claims in the context of heightened consumer interest.

San Diego Pretzel Company and a Giveaway
(Please Note, the Giveaway Portion is Now Closed.) Do you love soft pretzels? Then I've got a great Friday giveaway, open to all US residents, not just San Diegans!
Recently I was invited to tour the San Diego Pretzel Company. I had no idea that there was a soft pretzel making factory in San Diego.
If you've followed my blog for a while, you know I love soft pretzels. My frustration over not being able to find the soft pretzels of my childhood led me to start making my own. When I first met the owners, a husband and wife team, with the husband a former executive chef and a Brooklyn native and the wife of German descent, I thought this could be promising. When they started talking about wanting to bring back the quality soft pretzels like the ones that used to be served on carts in NY, I wanted to hug them.
The San Diego company makes the traditional twisted NY pretzels, Philly pretzels, Munich pretzels, multi grain pretzels, pretzel rolls, and jumbo double twisted pretzels. (The top left ones with the fat bottom are the Munich ones, the top right is the multi-grain and the bottom one is the jumbo double twisted.)
In addition to supplying pretzel products to many restaurants and establishments in San Diego (Karl Strauss, Cohn restaurant group, just to name a few), their products can also be found in supermarkets like Whole Foods, Sprouts and Bristol Farms, and they are even sold at Disneyland. You can also buy their soft pretzel products from their online store or on Amazon. You can also order their pretzels for events and they also do some factory tours.
After our tour, my mouth was watering for pretzels, and luckily they sent us with a few to bring home to sample. We dug in pretty much a second after Mr. K turned on the engine of his car.
I loved how enormous the double twisted one was. It was also incredibly thick and fluffy because of the double twist method.
The Munich one was interesting. I've never had a German-style soft pretzel, but I was told they like them really dry, so there is no sugar in this dough at all. And you could definitely taste it. It isn't so much that the dough is dry, but it leaves a dry aftertaste in your mouth. (The idea being that the pretzels are usually eaten with beer so you wash out the dryness with beer.) Not exactly my favorite, but then I'm not used to German-style soft pretzels. I did like the shape though.
We were given samples of the frozen NY style and Philly style which can be found in supermarkets. I was worried that they wouldn't taste as good as the fresh ones we had, but they did. They were so easy to heat up. Five minutes in the oven and the pretzel skin was crisp and the inside soft. It took us only two days to polish off these pretzel samples and I'm craving more just writing this post.
After having a disappointing soft pretzel experience during my recent trip to NYC, I never would have thought I could find them right here in San Diego, but I'm so happy I did. I really hope this mom and pop factory continue to succeed in sharing quality soft pretzels everywhere. These pretzels definitely brought back happy childhood memories.
Now onto the giveaway. One of my lucky readers will receive one free pretzel product of their choice from San Diego Pretzel Company's online store. I highly recommend the jumbo double twisted or the traditional twisted. This contest is only open to US residents. I will use random.org to generate the winner. The contest will end on Friday November 1, 2013 at 11:59 PST.

I saw these sold at Major Market in Escondido back in May; was unable to decide which flavor and each time we went back, I'd read the boxes. Finally got the "Golden State" and those are *really* good. Had never heard of the company before that (and haven't been to Disney in forever). Nice post!
The pretzel bun sliders! Love pretzel buns and so sad to have seen them disappear from Trader Joes, so we would immediately jump to these to get our fix!
I'd love to try the sugary cinnamon pretzels!
i'd love to try the jumbo double twisted!!
I've had pretzels in Germany just like the Munich pretzel, and didn't really think they were that great. Your description explains it. I guess I had been expecting soft pretzels. I just heard about this place, and I'd love to try them out.
That Jumbo double twisted one has my name all over it.
The soft pretzel puffs would be right up my kids' alley! Thanks for introducing us to this company and for the giveaway.

I am totally curious about the Philly pretzel. It's so hard to find a soft pretzel that's REALLY like a Philly pretzel. I don't know if it's the shape, the water, or something, but even my best soft pretzel recipe can't make them like they do in Philly.
Wow! Soft pretzel! I haven't thought about it for a long time. It was my daughter's favorite when she was a little girl. I'd like to try the jumbo double twisted pretzel, they look great.

@Sandy above: yes, the dryness and saltiness in Bavarian pretzels (we have a lot more salt on it in Germany!) is meant to make you order more beer!

Yum! I LOVE PRETZELS! So cool to know we have a great soft pretzel company in San Diego. My favorite soft pretzels have always been the ones sold at the German American Societies Oktoberfest in El Cajon — very traditional.
In any case, we're trying to eat more multigrains around here because of the toddler, so I'd love to try the Golden State Pretzels.

The passage of a new farm bill this year isn't likely, a spokeswoman for Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., confirmed on Wednesday.
Bennet's press secretary, Kristin Lynch, said in an email that "given the House calendar, it looks like an agreement on the farm bill may not be reached until early January."
She added, though, that Bennet believes the House should stay in through next week to get a deal done, because a deal is close.
Lynch's statement echoed other reports coming out of Washington on Tuesday and Wednesday, as members of the Farm Bill Conference Committee — which includes Bennet — emerged from negotiations and announced they won't have a full farm bill ready before the House adjourns for the year on Friday.
According to reports, Rep. Frank Lucas, the Republican chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, told Politico that he would file a bill that extends the farm bill through January 2014, to prevent some programs in the existing farm bill from expiring at the end of the year.
The lack of farm bill passage is nothing new.
The current farm bill, passed in 2008, was set to expire on Sept. 30, 2012, but has been extended since then, because lawmakers can't agree on a new one. Both the House and Senate have passed versions of new farm bill legislation, but haven't hashed out the differences between the two in a conference committee.
Among the hottest topics are cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamps, which account for about 80 percent of the farm bill.
The Republican-controlled House passed a bill that would cut food stamps by $39 billion out of a projected $800 billion over 10 years. In addition, the House SNAP provision would require able-bodied adults without children to work or volunteer for 20 hours a week to receive federal assistance.
The Democratic-held Senate's farm bill also would cut food stamps, but by $4.5 billion over a decade, and the Senate plan wouldn't add work requirements.
The disputes and inability to pass a new farm bill has been a major source of frustration to many in the agriculture industry, who say much has changed in agriculture since the last farm bill was passed in 2008, and the programs in the current farm bill don't address the needs of the industry. New programs are needed, they stress.

Fresh off of Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL ) iPad mini release, prospective buyers have a choice on their hands: the iPad mini or the iPad Air.
The choice is harder this year: The features, specifications, and display are similar and the price point has narrowed. Matter of fact, a mere $100 separates the starting prices of Apple's iPads.
Eric Bleeker argues the buying decision comes down to how the end user is going to utilize the product. The iPad mini is designed for portability and an on-the-go lifestyle. The iPad Air, the larger one, is more suited for using a keyboard and as a productivity tool.
Evan Niu notes that although Apple did increase the price of the iPad mini, they also closed the feature gap. In short, the main decision in this generation of iPads is the screen size -- a clear change from last year.
Jamal Carnette concurs that size is the real deciding factor, although the camera on the iPad Air has better specs. However, as Eric points out, this may not be an important feature.
In this episode of Tech Teardown, Jamal Carnette talks iPads with Eric Bleeker, CFA and Evan Niu, CFA.

Blues Win Again
Continue to Close the Gap
The Blues handled the Dallas Stars with ease last night, winning 6-1. Playoffs – this team is knocking at your door. Through 64 games, the Blues have now collected 69 points and hold the 10th spot in the Western Conference. Granted, St. Louis has played one more game than 8th place Detroit, 9th place Calgary and 10th place Dallas, but the fact remains that this Blues team is now within one point of a postseason spot.
Five wins in a row. The Blues are picking a perfect time to go on a run.
Things got off to a bang early when enforcer D.J. King dropped the gloves and destroyed Krys Barch for the second time this season (view it below).
Decision: King.
While this fight was a great one to see King participate in (without getting injured I might add), the real story of the night was the continued burst of offense we have seen from this club. Six goals last night added to the impressive streak where the Blues have won 4-3, 4-0, 4-3 and 5-2. Offense was tough to come by early this year, but it's coming in abundance as of late.
The main man last night was Paul Kariya, who turned in two goals and an assist just a day after most speculated he could be dealt at the trade deadline. Kariya, like most of the Blues roster, has struggled to produce offensively all season long, but now has a run where he has notched eight points in his last five games. One wonders what took so long to get in gear this season, but I don't think anyone is complaining now that the veteran winger is showing up in the boxscore.
Brad Boyes added a goal for his second straight games and T.J. Oshie chipped in a late goal and an assist.
Chris Mason got the start in net and channeled his best form, turning away 29 of the 30 shots he faced. He was outstanding and denied numerous chances that looked to be certain goals that might have gotten Dallas back in the game before the Blues had a chance to close things out. Some speculate that Mason is night the answer for the Blues in net if they hope to make a serious playoff run, but if he plays as well as he did last night, I'd take my chances. I don't believe he is the answer in net looking long term but his play of late has been the strongest I think we have seen all year.
For those that believed Dallas goaltender Marty Turco could be headed here this summer, I think the Blues did a fantastic job of showing he is not the answer in net moving forward and should not play into the Blues' future plans.
Up ahead lies Colorado on Saturday, so the Blues will be doing a bit of scoreboard watching as Nashville, Detroit and Minnesota all skate tonight.

DOHA: A team of researchers at the Agriculture Research Department, Ministry of Environment, has announced a scientific discovery to cure a popular disease related to date palm, QNA reported yesterday.
The researchers have not only found the reasons responsible for black spots (fungi) on date palm leaves but also discovered and isolated a resistant micro-organism (bacterium) to cure it. The findings are part of a coveted project initiated to pioneer in the field of date palm research in the world.
The project, in collaboration with Weill Cornell Medical College (Qatar), was funded by the National Science Research Priority Programme, which had allocated about QR16.4m ($4.5m) to complete the research. The research team discovered the micro-organism from the same environment which has the ability to resist and cure the fungi.
Massoud Jarallah Al Marri, Director of the Agriculture Research Department, said: "This is a very important discovery which will substantially reduce the use of pesticides. This great discovery will not only benefit the agriculture (date palm) but also protect the environment."
Al Marri said that the researchers have also found out the kind of environment and ideal conditions in which the fungi grows and prospers rapidly.
Another member of the research team, Dr Noha Fareed Al Badawi, said: "Now in the laboratory we have isolated five fungi and a bacterium, which has high ability to suppress all these fungi and stops their growth."
"From these bacteria we can also produce cure for pathogeneses responsible for the disease, which will replace the pesticides and insecticides that are harmful to the environment and people," Al Badawi said.
Yet another scientist, Dr Ali Al Kharbatli, who is also the team-leader in the research project, added: "We have successfully managed to isolate the fungi, which belong to Trichoderma family, causing problems to the date palm leaves and productivity."

SeaWolves lose Game 1 of playoffs
The Harrisburg Senators weren't known for their home-run power this season.
Steven Souza Jr., however, hammered an 0-2 fastball off Melvin Mercedes to start the ninth inning to lift Harrisburg to a 5-4 win over the Erie SeaWolves in Game 1 of the Western Division playoff series Wednesday in front of 2,182 fans at Jerry Uht Park.
"The main thing is you have to give Souza credit," Erie manager Chris Cron said. "That's an 0-2 pitch coming in at 95 mph and he squares it up and takes it out. I'll take my chances with that and it just wasn't our night. You can second guess on the pitch, but I think it's a hat-tipper to Souza; he earned it."
The two teams will play Game 2 tonight at 6:35 at Jerry Uht Park. While the game isn't an elimination game, it's basically a must-win game for the SeaWolves.
"It's a big game, and obviously we wanted to win the first game," Erie second baseman Brandon Douglas said. "We have to win Game 2 and go to Harrisburg tied 1-1."
After tonight's game, both teams will travel to Harrisburg for the remainder of the series, beginning with Game 3 Friday.
Douglas was part of a violent collision at home plate that appeared to give the SeaWolves the lead for good. With the game tied 3-3 in the seventh inning and Douglas standing on third base, Jamie Johnson hit a grounder to second base with the infield playing in. Second baseman Ricky Hague fired a throw home which clearly beat Douglas.
Douglas went into catcher Brian Jeroloman full speed knocking the ball loose and sending both players to the ground. Douglas was able to gather himself to touch home plate, but Jeroloman was on the ground for several minutes before standing up and riding a cart off the field to the clubhouse.
"I've done a couple of collisions early on in my career and I told myself I wouldn't do it again unless I absolutely had to," Douglas said. "This was the first round of the playoffs and it's something that happens playing the game hard. I'm glad he's all right, and it's just a part of baseball."
Jeroloman was taken to Saint Vincent Hospital to treat a cut on the side of his face, but he was OK as of Wednesday night.
Harrisburg responded immediately in the eighth inning. Sean Nicol was hit by a pitch and went to second by beating a forceout attempt. He went to third on a base hit and came home on Billy Burns' line-drive sacrifice fly to right.
Souza's heroics in the ninth capped a back-and-forth game, which has been typical for these two teams.
"Both teams have a heck of a pitching staff and we knew we were fighting an uphill battle," Cron said. "They scored twice, then Tyler Collins hits a three-run homer. We couldn't add anything else against (A.J.) Cole. We had a lot of opportunities in the game and Harrisburg was the team that came up big when they needed it."

eBay is adding Facebook buttons to the top of listings so shoppers can "like" specific listings. But eBay continues to prohibit sellers from linking to Facebook and other social networking sites.
Facebook Like buttons began appearing on the top of listings in postcards and in fashion categories on Saturday morning. eBay had not widely announced the new feature, but had told attendees of its eBay OnLocation event in Las Vegas last week that it was actively working on putting more "Like" button on the site.
eBay also tweeted from the event, "Smart social media strategy: put a link to your facebook page in your listings." However, this violates eBay's own linking policy. On the policy page under "Other Links," it specifically prohibits linking to social networking websites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter.

On the day Gerardo Parra arrived at Salt River Fields for the start of spring training, he was upbeat and positive about the new role in which he found himself.
Forced to become the fourth outfielder, he said all the right things. That he was a team player. That he would do whatever was asked. That all he wanted was to win.
But nearing the end of a disappointing season for the Diamondbacks and in the middle of what has been a frustrating month for him, Parra sounded worn down by the way things have transpired and uncertain about what lies ahead.
"It's really hard," Parra said. "It's up to the manager to put me in the lineup."
That hasn't happened very often lately for Parra, who was on the bench again for Tuesday night's series opener against the San Diego Padres. Parra entered the game in the first inning when Chris Young reinjured his right quad.
Parra has started just four games in the month of September, largely a byproduct of the Diamondbacks giving an extended look to rookie outfielder Adam Eaton.
Throughout the season, Parra has been unwilling to talk about the difficulty of sporadic playing time, but he acknowledged it Tuesday.
"It's not easy when you're not playing every day," he said.
"Everything (is harder). Your timing (at the plate). Your legs from running. Defense in the outfield. It's not easy."
When asked about next season, Parra said he hopes the Diamondbacks find a way for him to play more regularly.
"But that's not in my hands," he said. "I don't know what will happen next year. I'll be ready for everything."
And what if they don't create a spot for him, would he want to be traded?
"I want to stay here, but if they trade me to another team where I can play every day, I'll be happy, too," he said. "But I don't think about playing for another team. I'm just thinking about playing for the D-Backs."
Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said he's aware of Parra's frustration; the two met last week while the team was in San Francisco, not long after Eaton was summoned to the majors.
"He was disappointed," Gibson said.
"We've had four really good outfielders all year and now we have an additional one with Adam Eaton," he continued. "We want to see the difference in our lineup with (Eaton) in there. My opinion on Parra is as high it's ever been. And he's always ready to play."
The Diamondbacks are widely expected to explore trading right fielder Justin Upton and/or Young in the off-season. It's unclear whether Parra fits into their long-term plans.
After all, after Parra hit .290 last season and won a Gold Glove, the Diamondbacks still felt compelled to sign free-agent outfielder Jason Kubel to a two-year deal to take over in left field.
Parra's numbers have fallen off across the board. In 354 at-bats, he is hitting .271 with a .332 on-base and .390 slugging.
"He's pretty much never been on the bench in his career, and he comes into this season as a fourth outfielder, it's just tough for him," catcher Miguel Montero said. "He's had a great attitude. If you look at him, if he's mad or disappointed, he doesn't show it. That's a great thing. He's a great teammate. You always see him cheering for everybody."

The Nevada Wolf Pack's pistol offense is alive and well.
"The offense played real well," head coach Chris Ault said after the Wolf Pack's annual Silver and Blue Spring Game Saturday morning at Mackay Stadium. "All three quarterbacks did a real nice job in all phases."
The offense won the 86-play scrimmage, 43-26.
"Defensively, we weren't ready," Ault said. "We didn't play well."
The passing offense shredded the defense, completing 28-of-32 passes for 233 yards. Starting quarterback Cody Fajardo was 19-of-22 for 155 yards, Tanner Roderick was 5-of-6 for 61 yards and Devin Combs completed all four of his passes for 17 yards.
"They were all on the money," Ault said.
Fajardo, the unquestioned starter for the season opener at California on Sept. 1, completed his first 12 passes. He was 7-of-7 on the opening drive for 63 yards.
The drive ended with a 1-yard touchdown run by Nick Hale.
"I was pretty happy with our performance on offense," Fajardo said. "There were a lot of positives to come out of this."
The offense scored two touchdowns -- a pair of 1-yard runs by Hale and Kendall Brock -- and two field goals (28 yards by Allen Hardison and 30 yards by Anthony Martinez).
"We didn't do a good job in the red zone so that's something we still have to fix," Fajardo said. "You have to have heart down there in the red zone and we have to get better at that."
Linebacker Albert Rosette stopped Combs on a 4th-and-goal run from the 1-yard line and running back Tony Knight was stopped a yard short of the end zone on a 4th down run from the 2-yard line. A Roderick pass from the 11-yard line also was intercepted by Jeremiah Green.
"The offense came out and did their thing," said running back Stefphon Jefferson, who had 26 yards on nine carries.
Knight stood out among the running backs, running for 63 yards on 10 carries. The first three times he touched the ball the red-shirt freshman went for nine, 17 and eight yards, leading to Martinez's 30-yard field goal. He also had a 15-yard run on the final drive of the scrimmage down to the 8-yard line.
"I just wanted to show people that I can run hard and run downhill all the time," said Knight, who has been criticized by Ault this spring for not running with enough intensity. "I want to prove people wrong and to prove myself right."
Tight end Zach Sudfeld, who broke his leg in the season opener last season at Oregon, had an outstanding spring game, catching nine passes for 118 yards. The 6-foot-7 senior had five catches of 10 yards or more, including a 42-yarder when he ran over two defenders down the sideline.
"Sud is going to be a force," Ault said.
"Today I felt real good, real healthy," Sudfeld said. "Today was a real good first step for us and we still have a lot of things to work on. But there's a long summer ahead of us before we get back out here."
The defense also had its highlight moments.
Defensive end Reggie Coates stopped Jefferson for no gain on a 3rd-and-1 run, linebacker Bryan Lane sacked Fajardo for a 7-yard loss, Rosette kept Combs out of the end zone on a quarterback run from the 1-yard line, Green picked off a Roderick pass and linebacker DeAndre Boughton sacked Roderick for a 3-yard loss.
The defense also kept the offense out of the end zone on seven of nine drives. And one of the touchdowns -- Brock's 1-yard run -- seem to come after a late whistle when it appeared that Knight was originally stopped on the play.
Boughton and linebacker Jon McNeal each had a team-high nine tackles.
"The defense did a nice job down near the goal line," Ault said. "They didn't back off, which was good to see."
Ault, though, wanted to see more from his defense.
"It always worried me when we don't play well on defense," Ault said.
The Pack head coach, though, tempered his criticism of the defense.
"We were shuffling more personnel in and out on defense," Ault said. "We were trying different things on defense, so that's part of it."

First "Resident Evil: Revelations" 3DS trailer
If you've been wondering what games are going to look like on Nintendo's 3DS, but screenshots from last week just aren't cutting it, this trailer for Capcom's 3DS title Resident Evil: Revelations is at least a good idea of what things might look like in action. (As long as that action isn't during play, anyway.) This might just be in-game cutscenes, but it should be enough to make fans of the series pretty happy.

Sonic turns 19, makes us feel better about being old with prizes and a sale
It happens a lot more these days – I get the message that "Such-and-such game character is turning 15 this week!" and I remember my first encounter with that character, when I may or may not have been in elementary school. Except this time it's Sonic the Hedgehog, he's turning 19, and I was definitely in preschool. Nothing like not-quite-retro gaming to make you feel old, right? It's okay, though. In celebration of the speedy blue guy's birthday, SEGA's having a sale on all digital Sonic titles, which includes those up for sale on the Xbox LIVE Arcade, PlayStation Store and iPhone/iPad App Store. (For a full list, see this post over at the Sonic blog.) In addition, there may be a few goodies on the way if you follow Sonic's Twitter and Facebook pages.

Patch 3.3.5 released today in World of Warcraft!
Patch 3.3.5 is being released today, and as per normal patch days, servers are still down (until 1pm PST) last I checked. This patch is only dropping for North America today and will hit the International servers next week. This patch brings some interesting stuff with it, mainly the new RealID system with Battle.net. With this system in place you will be able to talk with friends who are playing on different WoW servers, or even different Blizzard games. I have to say I enjoy the prospect of being able to talk to my friends on other servers. The Ruby Sanctum will not be released today, but will be released soon to all servers at the same time. So what to do while we wait for servers to come back online? Well I first highly recommend checking out this great interview with J. Allen Brack.

Bob Casey holds a 10-point lead over Tom Smith in the battle for the U.S. Senate, but fails to stir strong feeling among the electorate, according to the latest Inquirer Pennsylvania Poll.
Four weeks before the Nov. 6 election, a bipartisan team of national pollsters found Casey, the Democratic incumbent, with 48 percent of the vote. Smith, the Republican nominee, was getting 38 percent.
The Oct. 4-8 survey of 600 likely voters had a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points.

Gunner McGibbon finished with 16 points and 11 rebounds as Whitmore Lake outscored Britton-Deerfield 24-9 in the fourth quarter.
McGibbon posted his third double-double of the season, while teammate Rory Judge scored all 11 of his points in the fourth.
"We had two starters in foul trouble, and then we had some guys come off the bench and keep the score close," Whitmore Lake coach Casey Livingston said. "We weren't shooting great in the first half, but in the second we had good ball movement, which created better looks at the basket. We held them to one-shot possessions and got the rebounds in the fourth.
"We've struggled in the fourth this season, so it was good to see us get some production and close the game out."
Whitmore Lake (4-7, 2-4 Tri-County Conference) plays next Tuesday at Adrian Lenawee Christian.

HIPAA Privacy Rules were written and became effective in 2003. The privacy rules were followed by the HIPAA Security Rules, and the HITECH Act which brought us the "breach notifications." Now we have the HIPAA Omnibus or Final Rules, which took effect September 23, 2013. This OPA webinar gives a quick overview of the rules and latest changes.
You need to comply with both the privacy rules and the security rules. This applies to anyone who has done anything with an electronic device such as a flash drive, disc, laptop, cell phone or computer. In other words, most of us will need to follow the HIPAA procedures unless you always and only have done paper records and you plan to retire in the next year or two. If you are starting from scratch I recommend the APA products found at apapracticecentral.org. For a fee, it provides separate privacy and security electronic versions of notebooks that you can personalize for your practice. Alternatives are to hire an attorney or work with colleagues who will assist you.
Privacy Rule:
Review this good basic update on HIPAA Privacy Primer updated in 2013
Security Rule:
For a good understanding of the security rule click here.
Part of your HIPAA privacy and security procedures should include evaluating what type of encryption you need for your hard drive, software, storage discs or flash drives and email.
The recommendation of APA Practice Organization is to encrypt as much of your email as you can. The HIPAA Security Rule recommends but does not require this, but you could be penalized if emails go to the wrong patient or include protected health information. Notification and consent from the patient that they understand that email is not secure might help, but is not true protection from having to give a "breach notification" if information gets out inappropriately. The security rule recommends that you double check the address of an email recipient and that you limit the amount and type of information that it includes.
For general information about encryption, visit this link.
Encrypting Computers: A few resources that are recommended by The Trust (but not endorsed)
BestCrypt Enterprise
PGP Whole Disk Encryption
This website leads you to the information from HHS about storing and destroying data. However, the information contained in the links is technical and very complicated. It is intended for the techie vendors. If a reputable vendor claims that they meet government encryption standards, you could ask for their written confirmation of that in your business associate contract with them.
This resource from the Office of Civil Rights discusses more about the Privacy Rule. Question three may be most applicable on emails. It also states that it is okay to receive patient initiated email, but the patient should be reminded that it may not be secure and be given the option to stop using email.
This resource provides more information about security rule compliance for the small provider.

Gravatar is one of the service which comes in built with every WordPress blogs. All those images you see in comment form here at ShoutMeLoud or most of the WordPress blogs comes from Gravatar.com. Now, one problem with using gravatar is, it increases the loading time and more DNS query for look up, which slows down our site.
If you are new to Gravatar, you should read my earlier post on: Gravatar adds images to WordPress comment & profile.
All the WordPress cache plugin we use, none of them cache gravatar and we miss out on another step of WordPress optimization for speed. One solution is not to use Gravatar at all, but I won't suggest that as it helps in branding of your author, yourself (Author profile) and commentator. Also, it makes comment look more genuine, as images add another level of trust. So What's the best Way to Cache gravatar in WordPress?
FV Gravatar Cache WordPress Plugin:
FV Gravatar Cache is of the simplest WordPress plugin which does the job of caching gravatar easily. This is a plug and play plugin and once you enable it, you can make some changes according to your need. For example, you can define custom location for cached gravatar images. Also, depending upon your theme you can also define the size of gravatar which you want to cache. It's a good idea to keep it same as what you are using in your comment boxes.
Here is a screenshot of settings page of FV gravatar cache plugin:
After the first time set up, you should click on Run cron now to start caching images from Gravatar. You can refresh the page to see total number of cached images.
I installed this plugin almost months back, but today after moving to Knownhost when I was cleaning my site backend, I found this plugin and realize it's very useful for every WordPress blog. If you are showing gravatar images on your blog, you should go ahead and install this plugin. You can download this WordPress plugin from official repo here. Also, if you would like to speed your site further, you should disable Gravatar hovercard feature from WordPress discussion settings.
Do you know more such caching plugins for WordPress which will help us to speed up our Website? If you find this plugin useful, don't forget to share it on Google plus and Twitter.

Yesterday, the Rangers acquired defenseman Danny Syvret from Philadelphia in exchange for forward Kris Newbury.
The 5' 11" Syvret, 28, registered six goals and 34 assists for 40 points, along with 34 penalty minutes in 76 games last season with the American Hockey League's (AHL) Adirondack Phantoms. He led the Phantoms in assists, ranked second in points, tied for third in power play goals (five), and tied for first among team defensemen in goals. He also led Adirondack with a career-high, 194 shots on goal. Syvret finished the season among the league leaders in scoring by defensemen, ranking seventh in points and tying for third in assists.
…i liked Newbury. He was a tough, grinding forward who always stuck up for a teammate, plus he somehow brought out the best in Kreider with the Whale. But he had no future with guys like Asham and Dorsett on the roster.
…while Syvret has yet to prove he can be a consistent NHL player, his acquisition continues Sather's run on defensive depth this offseason, which can never be criticized. And why is having a stable of defensemen so important? Why don't you tell us Adam…
The purpose of adding Syvret is he is good enough that you don't have to make a stupid panic claim on Roman Hamrlik b/c of a few injuries.

I don't think of discussing sex in a marital context as raunchy. And, hey, if Christians aren't having sex there would not be any more of them! Sex is an important of our humanity, never have a problem discussing it!
My DH has a lot of rules regarding church as well. We loved the United Church of Christ (not Church of Christ) church we attended in Florida (United Church of Gainesville-we miss them so much!). I would say that we are pretty liberal in our religious/social views (me more than him, but still both of us to a degree) and fairly conservative in our general political views (him more than me, but again both of us to a degree). This is a very difficult combination to find in a church. Our current church comes close on our political views but is way off on the social/religious views. Although they profess to be open, the reality is- not so much.
There is a UU church very near us, I enjoyed their services when I visited, but the youth group was way too small and DD did not feel comfortable there, so we visited our current church. I hate the services, but the kids felt comfortable there, so we stayed as that was the most important reason for me to go at the time.
We are not looking for a mega church (there are many around us-we are the buckle of the bible belt after all). Something small enough so that you get to know people but big enough to make a difference in their ministries. Great music, around here, is basically a given, kind of intimidating actually.

North Carolina already prohibits same-sex marriage by statute, but the FRC says it's not enough, warning, "Our laws defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman could be overturned."
