In which I make bad date choices
But, in my defence, when The Filmmaker suggested we do dinner and a movie, I didn't really see what could go wrong. [An aside: he's a man who says 'movie'. I'm a girl who says 'film'. But, whereas I'm in PR, he's in the industry, so I can't say anything because he's probably right, but keeping the crazy English-stickler pedantry under wraps is harder than you'd think.]
I met TF outside his office one evening, and we wandered into Soho to grab said dinner before said movie. Diving into a great little Italian place introduced to me by The Metrosexual, we ordered drinks and perused the menu. Having made his decision in a split second, TF waited patiently as choice paralysis threatened to take hold. Eventually, I gave in and ordered what I'm always tempted to, but never dare.
And, some 12 minutes later, it became patently clear to me why I never order squid ink linguine, and especially never in public. And never, ever on a date. Because while it might be endlessly delicious in its squiddy, inky unctuousness, it's a bloody nightmare to eat.
"Er, you've got a little…" TF smiled and pointed to his chin. I dabbed at it with my napkin "No, a little to the left… a bit more… Yeah, um, sort of…"
Which happened at least twice more before I leapt up and scurried to the loo where I found several splashes of squink (gotta love a Nigella-coined phrase) all over my face, lips and - attractively - teeth. Muttering furiously to myself, I made desperate attempts to scrub it all off and cover the worst bits with concealer.
Going back to the table, I eschewed the rest of the linguine and plucked out the remaining chunks of squid, swearing silently to myself that only neutral-coloured food is to be consumed on dates from here on in.
Things weren't much better once we'd settled into our seats at the cinema. Admittedly, what followed was partly my fault because I agreed to go and see the damned thing. In a peculiar week during awards season in which there was nothing I was too fussed about seeing that I hadn't already, and because TF did want to see it, we were smack bang in the middle of a screen showing 127 Hours.
I'd even had advanced warning via email.
Are you sure? It is quite gory.
SAW III gory?
No, not quite that bad.
Ok, well I'm sure I'll be fine.
Hah! Being able to grin and bear one's way through a short burst of improbable surgery on Grey's Anatomy does not, apparently, mean you can stomach shot after shot of a man sawing through his tendons with a penknife. Heads up, kids.
Of course, had I thought the situation through, I'd have used the opportunity to play the 'meek and feeble girl' card: squealed at the opportune moment and then buried my head in his shoulder.
Not being that smooth, instead I squeaked audibly, pulled my scarf up over my nose, folded my arms over my chest and slumped down the seat, sticking out my tongue and shutting my eyes when the gore got too much.
"So, what did you think?!" TF said, sliding his hand into mine as we left the cinema once all the chopping and severing had stopped.
I think that squid ink and blood are not substances that have any place on a date. You heard it here first.

Now, because I am a bit of a bastard, I would almost have certainly slipped a fake hand into yours after watching said film. Chances of a follow-up date would be slim, but at least it would make me chuckle for a while.

Squid ink pasta? Really? My dear, sometimes you utterly confound me...and 127 Hours, possibly the worst choice of date movie EVER.
The dating Gods are conspiring against you, this is now clear.

And why pray tell is film le mot juste when describing what one is going to watch? Movie, short for moving picture, more accurately describes what one is watching, while film merely describes the medium on which it is stored. Perhaps the correct term these days should be a "digital" which sounds like a medical procedure to be avoided at all costs.

HC: How? How are you married? Evil boy.
Zstep: I know. I know. I still don't know quite why I did it. Either bit. Bonkers. I'd like to claim the gods are against me, but frankly I don't really help myself...
Jman: I associate 'movie' as being the Americanism, and 'film' as being British. And we know what I'm like with Americanisms...

Wow. This is a textbook bad date. Kudos to you for bravery on both accounts, though.
I also get annoyed with British people calling films "movies". Not enough to bring it up, but enough to start saying "FILM" with slightly too much emphasis.

HC: Just as well. Fake hands indeed.
Amy: It was one of the less smooth, definitely. And I'm glad I'm not the only film/movie pedant out there.

Well I have got to hand it to you Blonde, squid ink linguine is a very brave first date food choice. Very brave indeed.
I bought the book written by the chap 127 Hours is based on. Shamefully I must admit that after reading a mere five pages I found myself wishing he'd cut his off his head rather than an arm. For that reason I shall steer well clear of that particular motion picture.

A terrible swift exile
Finding Hope in the Age of Melancholy.
By David S. Awbrey. Little Brown, 255 pp.
In prose as lean and well defined as a tree on the Kansas plains, David S. Awbrey explores the seemingly endless, empty hallway one may enter after smashing down the door to success. Awbrey presents himself as an antihero who sets out to become a Kansas editor in the tradition of William Allen White, the "sage of Emporia" who once stood at the moral center of the journalistic universe. But when Awbrey achieves his goal, he finds himself in an abyss of emptiness.
The myth of Faust and his famous bargain with Satan structures Awbrey's book. Though raised in a tradition that emphasized giving something back to society, he nevertheless viewed himself as a tough, cynical journalist, and gloried in his reputation for being arrogant. His motto was that "95 percent of everything is crap."

Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines
Be your own barista! Semi-automatic espresso machines offer just the right amount of control over how your espresso is made at home. While they may look different, the basic functionality of a semi-automatic espresso machine includes a boiler, a portafilter and a switch or lever to perform the extraction. You'll still grind and tamp your espresso (or insert an espresso pod), start the extraction and then steam or froth your milk as necessary. Semi-automatic espresso machines fall into two different types:
- Manual Control: On these semi-automatic espresso machines, the shot is initiated and you stop it once you decide the extraction is complete, usually in 20-30 seconds. This offers real-time control over the length of your extractions
- Programmable Doses: These semi-automatic espresso machines allow you to program the extraction to stop after a specific amount of time.

Let there be censure and reorganisation where that is merited but do not make the corporation a political football
Sir, The BBC is not a machine but a large body of individuals, many of them highly talented and motivated. Individuals, alas, are sometimes guilty of mistakes or errors of judgment. These, when made, need to be acknowledged in terms of censure or change or both.
However, I write in response to the tone and tenor of some (albeit a minority) of the recent comments in Parliament as reported on the BBC Parliament channel. There are those who talk lightly of curbing, diminishing or more directly controlling the corporation. Experience well beyond these shores brought home to me the central

This weekend it finally dried out just enough to run the rototiller over the garden and start adding manure. After weeks of rain, this was a much anticipated event. We switched from rows to something more like a keyhole design to maximize garden space, and I think it's going to work out nicely. Uncovering all that rich, dark soil is sure a treat to the eye! Now we just need it to dry out a bit more so we can plow the field and plant potatoes. I'm hopeful that all this rain isn't going to delay us too much this year, but I have to remind myself how much more set up we are than this time last year.
I also seized the opportunity of a sunny day to weed the herb beds around the house. Plants are popping up all over that I forgot I even had. All that mint I put in when I built the beds and they were looking so bare has now spread and taken over a lot of the space. I felt funny pulling up all that mint as if it were a weed, but the chickens didn't mind the treat, so it still went to good use. Speaking of birds, I also hung the hummingbird feeders and watched all our tiny feathered friends come back. I noticed one hanging around the usual feeder spot earlier in the week, so I knew it was time to put out the free buffet.
The peas I direct sowed are coming up, now accompanied by my starts from the greenhouse to stagger Spring pea harvest.
The rhubarb is fanning out and looking fantastic.
All my cabbage, onions, broccoli and cilantro are coming up in the greenhouse, and from here on out I'll be starting new seeds almost every week.
My little bed of lettuce, kale and mustard is coming up in there too. My hope is to harvest it by the time I need to fill up the space with all those May starts.
We celebrated a weekend of farm work with our first homegrown salad of the year. Some little lettuces overwintered from September, and started growing again this month. They made a nice bitter salad tossed with oil, vinegar and Dijon mustard. The taste of small-scale farming may not always be sweet, but it sure is rewarding.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
I think to really obtain it you have to steel someones eyes.
that seems too unlikely

Agreed. (=
The basic way to get the MS is to have someone close to you die.
Sasuke because of Itachi's death, Kakashi because of Obito's death (although unconfirmed since he had it for a long time), and Itachi got his because of Shisui's death.
It doesn't necessarily have to be you killing your best friend, it just has to be someone that's really important to you dying (perhaps in front of your eyes).
If Sasuke kills his best friend (as Itachi said), it'd fulfill the above conditions and he'd obtain MS. Itachi just gave him a way to get it, which fulfills the conditions without actually telling him the conditions.
There are possibly other ways to get it, although unlikely.
Can't flaw your logic there Spooky :o
have yall noticed that madara, sasuke, itachi, and kakshi all have different mangekyou sharingans....
yeh i think there is a reason thats bigger than what we all think at the moment, but i cnt quite put my finger on it, i think that its a key of some sort.
ps...just a guess not a theory
Originally Posted by mihcom

1. Madara and his broher lived in era of war so it's very probable that someone close to them died
2. Itachi obtained MS by killing his best friend
3. Sasuke killed Itachi and gained MS (but at the same time Itachi gave him his doujutsu so he gained PMS or at least an advanced form of MS)
the only one who obtained MS in a different way is kakashi and I think he obtained it by using his favorite sharingan technique: he copied Itachi's MS, I mean think about it he awakened is MS AFTER his fight with Itachi
like it was said in another thread (can't remember which one) maybe I tachi told sasuke to kill his best friend because it was a the most basic way of obtaining MS
That sounds accurate.
Originally Posted by DarkShadowM99

1.I think you obtain the MS if you feel responsible for the death of the person closest to you so the easiest way would be to just kill him.In Kakashis case he feels responsible thats why he always stands on Obitos grave every morning.
2.Itachi told Sasuke to kill his best friend so he doesnt.That plan worked out since Sasuke always said that he wouldnt follow his path but his own path and obtain power his way.

I think that each individual MS user have their own abilities, not like most people think that because they have the MS they can use those techniques(Im revering to the people inside NB with their battles.) Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susano are unique to Itachi only. Just like the space warp ninjitsu is unique to Madara, even tho Kakshi have a similar ability to Madara's space warp jitsu. (But this is where the Obito Tobi Madara) or shot OTM theory comes in. I honestly dont think that Sasuke have the abilty to use the Amaterasu, it was Itachis MS that developed and casted the Amaterasu at Madara, not Sasukes!!! Sasuke might be able to call that ability since Itachi gave his ability to him, but it is not Sasukes own MS that have those abilities.
I dont hope that I burst a few people's bubbles regarding their battles here on NB, but I will only accept the fact that all the people who have developed the MS have the same abilities, when Sasuke starts to space time warp, or Kakashi does Susano. Which I highly doubt will happen.
Please let me know if you disagree or agree and please state with proof why?
Thanx. I would like to see how this turns out.
we wont see kakashi do susano even if all MS are the same because it requires both MS eyes
also I think Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi can be used by all MS users, and only the third technique, that uses both eyes is different for everyone, maybe I'm wrong here I dont remember well but didnt kakashi knew of Tsukuyomi when he first battle Itachi? if thats true than Tsukuyomi is common doujutsu for any MS user
Originally Posted by zumorikato
Smart one you!!! I will agree with you, regarding Susanoo, because what you say makes sense, that you need both eyes for that, but Kakashi have his left Eye I cant remember but I think that is the same eye that is used for Amaterasu, so he might should have atleast be able then to do that(If it is Tsukuyomi, then swap Amaterasu with it please.) if I recall correctly Kakashi didnt now of Tsukuyomi, only when Itachi explained it to him, while he was doing that Technique, Kakshi didnt know before Itachi told him.
And if you look at the Japanese mythology, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susano all go together, so you wont get a part where Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi go together and the last do jutsu will differ, sorry my friend, but I still think that every MS user's do jutsu is unique.
well that may be, we will see for sure when madara will use his MS:D
Originally Posted by zumorikato

If a MS user takes another MS users Eyes, to get the EMS/PMS. the 2 MS overlaps with each other. My guess would be, addition to the Immortality part the PMS/EMS user will be able to use both the MS abilities of the eyes that he took.
That is my conclusion.
so that would mean 3MS techinques + 3MS techinques + 1 from EMS = 7 doujutsu techinques!!!!!!!! that makes me wonder if rinnengan is truly stronger than EMS...:confused:
Last edited by mihcom; 06-09-2008 at 01:59 PM.
pein has 5 bodies now because jiraya killed one, assuming that he cant make another one, this 6-bodies thing reminds me of the horcruxes in harry potter!?!
and thinking of the rinnengan powers I'd say the byakugan is better at this "360 view" because the byakungan can see everywhere at the same time, I mean if all the rinnengan bodies turn in a certain direction or if they ar distracted with some jutsu they cant see, but the byakungan could

And I basically said, that it doesnt matter what Eye technique the person have, it all comes down to how good you can use it, and how well it complements your fighting style as well as the elements that you use. :D
And I think that Pain have 6 bodies, I think that he consumed the J mans bodie, and that is what is going to make the fight between Naruto and Pain so intense in my prediction in the 404 thread. Because Naruto is going to struggle to fight against his previous Sensei. Makes for a great storyline wount you say? :D
hehe yes.. naruto vs. the pain version of jiraya.. but if the body will be able to use just one justsu (as the others) what could this jutsu be?
as for the which doujutsu is stronger, i wasnt talkiong about that, I was talking about pain's rinnengan in particular, and comparing it with the other doujutsus

Novell Developer Concerned About OpenOffice.org
Novell developer Michael Meeks has warned of an increasing imbalance in the OpenOffice.org Project. His concerns: too few developers, inadequate code maintenance and the gradual withdrawal of companies like Sun.
In his blog, Meeks comes to some bitter conclusions regarding OpenOffice.org. Measured on downloads alone, the success of the project is obvious. But this is not the case when one looks at development and improvements, says Meeks. The code is bloated and poorly maintained, and he criticizes the difficulties developers have getting their snippets of code up-stream, which has many so frustrated they simply leave their codes in patches attached to bugs in the issue tracker.
To illustrate his misgivings, Meeks has produced graphics created using scripts from the project's version control system. These clearly show how far Sun has withdrawn from the project, with no other company jumping in to fill the gaps. In 2004, OpenOffice.org hit a highpoint with 70 developers. It's been all downhill since.
For Meeks, all is not well at OpenOffice.org. In his opinion, distancing the project from Sun (including the license conditions) would be one step on the road to recovery. Abolishment of the "political system" within the project, would be another. Meeks wants "developers in the driving seat", and he appeals for developer contributions. Meeks ensures us he is voicing his own opinion and not that of Novell or others.
CorrectedThanks for the hint! It's been corrected.

There's not enough info. Have you pulled your FICO reports to at least get an idea?
Your util is a bit high. I'd bring that down with at least one more CC at a $0 balance.
Just guessing, of course, but I'd think 730-745 at least. That's unless there's something bad on your report that you may be unaware of. Could be higher, but I'd be surprised if you were under 700.

i pulled them a couple of weeks ago before i paid down some balances - the fico score my lender pullled and the one i pulled were completely different. so its useless to pull anything here. just wondering your thoughts on a score.

Article Link: Will FSIS Furlough Hold The Food System Hostage?
Display On Homepage: Display on Home Page
Comment Snippet: <p> This issue has been greatly overblown. The furloughs would be taken over the course of the year, most likely at one day per week with the inspectors staggering their days off. The packing plants already pay for inspectors overtime, of which they have a lot of. The packers would end up just paying overtime to those working so that they can continue processing.</p>

Jemaine Clement (born 10 January 1974) is a New Zealand comedian, actor, writer, director, and multi-instrumentalist, known as one half of the musical comedy duo Flight of the Conchords along with Bret McKenzie.
Early life[edit]
Jemaine Clement was born in Masterton, New Zealand on 10 January 1974 and was raised by his Māori mother,[2] in the Wairarapa region. He attended Makoura College in Masterton. After graduation, he moved to New Zealand's capital Wellington, where he studied drama and film at Victoria University of Wellington. There he met Taika Waititi (a.k.a. Taika Cohen) with whom he went on to form So You're a Man and The Humourbeasts. In 2004, the Humourbeasts toured New Zealand in a stage show titled The Untold Tales of Maui,[3] a rework of the traditional Maori legends of Māui. The duo received New Zealand's highest comedy honour, the Billy T Award.
Clement and Bret McKenzie formed Flight of the Conchords while at Victoria University. They have toured internationally and released four CDs: Folk the World Tour in 2002, The Distant Future EP in 2007 (winner of 2008 Grammy for Best Comedy Album), Flight of the Conchords in 2008 and I Told You I Was Freaky in 2009. In 2005 the Conchords produced Flight of the Conchords a six-part comedy radio programme on BBC Radio 2. They appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, the Late Show with David Letterman and The Late Late Show. After appearing in 2005 on HBO's One Night Stand, the Conchords were offered their own 12-part HBO series Flight of the Conchords, which was based on their earlier BBC radio series of the same name.[4] Its first season ran from June to September 2007, and was renewed for a second season, which aired on HBO in the US from January to March 2009.[5] In December 2009, the Conchords announced the show would not have a third season.[6]
Film and television[edit]
Clement has appeared in several feature films. His debut was in the kung fu comedy Tongan Ninja, directed by New Zealander Jason Stutter. He has worked with Stutter on two more movies to date: the low budget ghost comedy Diagnosis Death and the drama Predicament, based on the book by late New Zealand novelist Ronald Hugh Morrieson. Clement also has a role in American comedy Gentlemen Broncos, directed by Napoleon Dynamite's Jared Hess. This role landed him a nomination for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Male. Though Gentlemen Broncos was almost universally panned by critics, some[7] singled out Clement's performance for praise. In 2010, he voiced Jerry in Despicable Me and appeared in the film Dinner for Schmucks. In 2011, he voiced Nigel in Rio, and in 2012 he appeared as the primary antagonist Boris the Animal in Men in Black 3. In 2012, Jemaine co-wrote, co-directed, and starred in a vampire mockumentary titled What We Do in the Shadows with Taika Waititi. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on 19 January 2014. He also reprised his role as Nigel in Rio 2.
Clement has starred in television commercials internationally and provided voiceovers for many others in New Zealand. On 5 February 2006, Outback Steakhouse began running a series of television commercials starring Clement during Super Bowl XL in which Clement pretends to be Australian and feigns an Australian accent. One of the long-running gags of Flight of the Conchords is the traditional rivalry between New Zealand and Australia and the differences between their accents. The campaign ended in July 2006.
Clement has been involved in award winning radio work. In 1999, Clement was a Radio Awards Winner as writer for Trashed, for Channel Z, Wellington.[8] In 2000, he was given a Special Radio Awards Commendation for The Sunglass Store.[9]
Besides his television work on Flight of the Conchords, Clement was a writer and cast member of the television shows Skitz and Tellylaughs in New Zealand.[10][11] Clement, with fellow Conchord member Bret McKenzie, guest starred as a pair of camp counselors in "Elementary School Musical", the season premiere of the 22nd season of The Simpsons, which aired on 26 September 2010.[12]
Clement was featured as one of 2008's "100 Sexiest People" in a special edition of the Australian magazine Who.[13] Fellow Conchord member McKenzie appeared on the same list.
In 2015, Clement voiced a horse in two DirecTV commercials.[14] In the same year, he voiced a "mind-reading fart"[15] on an episode of the Adult Swim animated series Rick And Morty, where he performed the song "Goodbye Moonmen".[16] Clement also starred in the independent film, People Places Things, which received positive reviews.
In 2016, Clement lent his voice to Tamatoa, a giant hermit crab, in the Disney animated film, Moana.
Personal life[edit]
In August 2008, Clement married his longtime girlfriend, theatre actress and playwright Miranda Manasiadis.[17] Clement's first child, a son named Sophocles Iraia Clement, was born in October 2008, in New York City.[18]

This summer, I took part in a neighborhood Bible study. We studied the Bible in chronological order for eight weeks. We brought food each week and shared recipes. Let me just say that there are some great cooks in this bunch of women.
It was great getting to know each of these women better and learning more about the word of God. Ginger was kind enough to open up her home for us each week and she was a phenomenal teacher. I truly enjoyed each week.
I feel blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful women. It really makes me love my neighborhood more.
We celebrated the end of the study with a baby shower for Megan, who is expecting her second little boy in August.
Top Row (L-R): Carla, Valerie (my mom), me, Megan, Ellen, and Patty
Bottom Row (L-R): Shawnelle, Ginger, and Kris
Not Pictured: Mandy, Cathy, Chris, and Debbie
I am looking forward to doing this again and hopefully more women from the neighborhood will join. Now, I just have to figure what I am going to do on Tuesday nights.

That is so cool that your neighborhood can have a Bible study like that. I go to Bible Study Fellowship every Wednesday morning when school is in session and I love meeting new moms who have the same interest in learning more about the Bible.

A human-edited directory is formed and maintained by editors who add links depending on the policies specific to that directory. Human-edited directories are frequently targeted by SEOs on the foundation that links from well-thought of sources will beef up rankings in the main search engines. Some directories may hinder search engines from ranking a displayed link by using nofollow attributes, redirects or other means. Various human-edited directories, incorporating DMOZ and World Wide Web Virtual Library, are edited by volunteers, who are every so often specialists in specific categories. These directories are sometimes censured due to long delays in approving submissions, or for infexible organizational structures and disgreements among volunteer editors.
In response to these censures, some volunteer-edited directories have adopted wiki technology, to permit broader community involvement in editing the directory (at the risk of introducing less objective, low-quality entries).
Another route taken by some web directories is the paid for incorporation model. This technique provides for the directory to proffer timely incorporation for submissions and normally fewer listings as a consequence of the paid model. They every so often proffer extra listing choices to further improve listings, encompassing characteristic listings and extra links to inner pages of the listed web site. These choices generally have an additional fee associated, but offer substantial aid and visibility to sites and/or their inside pages.
Nowadays submission of websites to web directories is thought as a common SEO (search engine optimization) method to get back-links for the submitted web site. One distinguishing feature of 'directory submission' is that it cannot be fully mechanized like search engine submissions. Manual directory submission is a dreary and time consuming job and is every so often outsourced by webmasters.
Bid for Position directories
Bid for Position directories, also referred to as bidding web directories, are paid-for-inclusion web directories where the listings of websites in the directory are arranged according to their bid money. They are exclusive in that the more a person remunerates the higher rank up the list of websites in the directory they go. With the higher listing, the website turn out to be more visible and intensifies the chances that visitors who browse the directory will click on the listing.
Majority of the directories are usual in scope and list websites through a broad range of classes, locations and languages. But some place directories focus on limited regions, specialist sectors or single languages. One form of niche directory with a broad number of sites in survival is the shopping directory. Shopping directories focus in the listing of retail e-commerce sites.
Examples of renowned general web directories are Yahoo! Directory which was shut down at the end of 2014 and DMOZ. DMOZ is substantial because of its widespread classification and wide number of listings and its free obtainability for use by search engines and other directories.
However, argument over the quality of databases and directories still remains, as search engines use ODP's content devoid of real integration, and some tests using clustering. There have been various attempts to make directory growth simpler, like using mechanized submission of connected links by script, or any number of obtainable PHP programs and portals. Lately, social software systems have generated new efforts of classification, with Amazon.com adding tagging to their product pages.
Directories have several characteristics in listing, frequently depending upon the price paid for incorporation: Examples of the features include:
A web directory lists websites by subcategory and category. It is not a search engine. Also, it does not show lists of web pages based on keywords. Majority of web directory records are also not obtained by web crawlers but by people. The classification is typically founded on the whole web site instead of one page or a set of keywords, and sites are frequently restricted to incorporation in only a few classes. Web directories frequently permit site owners to submit their site for incorporation, and have editors review submissions for appropriateness.
RSS directories are same to web directories, but comprise collections of RSS feeds, rather than links to web sites.
During the initial development of the web, there was a record of webservers edited by Tim Berners-Lee and hosted on the CERN webserver.

A child was once curious as to why ageing adults have white strands of hair. She asked the father who mentioned that each strand of white hair was a result of a misdeed of his child. The child then made a resolution to be upright and obedient. Still, the hair on the father and other older individuals around continued to become white. She then figured that she had not really been forgiven for her past wrongs. She decided to make things right all through. She eventually become a nun and devoted her life to missionary work, but really she had a crush on being inside the family of stroke. She toured the world and also begun developing white hair herself. This always made her laugh at the childhood stories.

we reached Certified Scrapie Free status
in the Voluntary
Scrapie Flock Certification Program.
begins in February of each year and then is followed quickly
by lambing. By late summer we decide who we will keep, who
will go to the freezer, who will be sold for breeding stock
and we shear some of the Cotswolds again, as their
fleeces grow about an inch per month!
Ewe lambs retained in the flock enjoy a year of "lambhood"
and aren't bred until they are yearlings. Once in our breeding
flock, ewes usually stay their entire lives. Several ewes
are in the "double digits" geriatric club and
enjoying their retirement while growing fleece without the
stress of lambing. Our oldest girl, Dandelion, passed
away at 14. After giving us 24 lambs, including triplets
in the spring of 2001, she enjoyed a quiet retirement before
leaving us.
Our rams are selected for fleece characteristics and temperament.
We only keep mellow rams that mind their manners. In 2002
we added a Moorit CVM / Rambouillet cross "Rusty"
whose rust colored fleece is very soft and even.
In 2004, moorit ram "Barney" from CA joined the
flock. Having 2 years of daughters from Rusty necessitated
widening the gene pool. In 2006, seeing that we were
losing some Border Leicester influence with the passing
of some old girls, we added "Mr. Lincoln" - a
black Border Leicester ram lamb from MA. In 2007 we are
had some artificial insemination done in the Cotswolds using
a British ram which gave us some very "classic"
looking lambs. We are now using 3 of the resultant F1 rams
on our ewes.
The production of beautiful fleeces is the main focus of
the flock. To this end, all non-Cotswold adults are generally
kept coated year round. While coating is costly and labor
intensive, protection of the fleece greatly improves the
quality of the wool. We have settled on "Sheep Suits"
from Rocky Sheep
Company as the brand that works best for us.
feel free to contact us about any aspect of our operation.
We are always glad to answer questions to help beginning
shepherds, and can "talk sheep" till your eyes
glaze over!

Hey Guys Im reading Dr MacArthur " The Masters Plan for the Church" and came across something that i am struggling with. In regards to "Deaconess" Dr Macarthur writes"
First Timothy 3:11 begins, Women must likewise be dignified. Again, likewise relates back to an office of the church. Contrary to the King James Versions translation of that verse, we know Paul was not talking about the wives of deacons because he used no pronoun to refer to them. He didnt say their wives, or their women. Since there are no comments about the wives of elders, why would there be any comments about the wives of deacons?
In Romans 16:1 we read, I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant [diakonos] of the church which is at Cenchrea. Phoebe was recognized by the church for her service. It is possible that she served in an official capacity as a deaconess at the church in Cenchrea.
The Greek word for women in 1 Timothy 3:11 is gunaikas. Apparently Paul used that term to be specific since there is no feminine form of diakonos. The same form of the word diakonos is both masculine and feminine; it would have been unclear for Paul to use just the term diakonos if he wanted to refer to women servers. He had to identify them as women.
We see, then, three distinct church offices described in 1 Timothy 3elders, deacons, and deaconesses. This is what Paul had to say about deaconesses: they must be dignified, not malicious gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things (v. 11).
MacArthur, J. (1991). The Master's plan for the church (212). Chicago: Moody Press.
Someone explain to me the difference between a Deacon and Deaconess. ?
Those that have an Elders led church and Deacon church ,do you have Deaconess? If so how are they the same as Deacons and how are they different than Deacons?
We have Deacons that teach a bible study during the week? If you have Deaconess can they teach as well in a Bible Study setting?
What would be the example of a Phoebe in the church today?
God bless!

In the following interview, David W. Norgard, vice president of human resources for Quest Diagnostics, discusses how the diagnostic services provider empowers and engages employees in an ever-transitioning world.
What does the term Empowering Employment mean to you? On a "macro" level, empowering employment means supporting initiatives that enable job creation in the jobs that represent the future. On a "micro" level, it means building bridges to appropriate target audiences to communicate the opportunities and how to effectively pursue them.
Many leaders have come out and said that companies need to be proactive to do their parts to bridge the skills gap. Does Quest Diagnostics have – or plan to have – any initiatives in place to reskill current or potential employees to ensure future growth? We participate with educational institutions in development and training of critical skills; we organize and run in-house programs focused on critical skill shortages; and we actively engage with government officials to stimulate focus on and funding for educational initiatives, where there are known skill shortages and looming gaps of available employees.
Highly-skilled healthcare industry positions are notoriously hard to fill. What do you do to recruit that segment of the workforce, and what is your key differentiator? In the industry, we are the largest employer of pathologists, and we have about 800 practicing M.D.s and Ph.D.s in our organization. We really try to impress upon this group that, not only are we offering a good career that pays well, but that we are thought leaders, and we're enabling them to a) learn on the job and b) work for an employer who's looking at new ways to do things. We also try very hard to build a public culture of being a great place to work.
What strategies do you believe are most important for businesses to implement today to help create jobs and move the economy forward? The single biggest one is to lengthen the view and move beyond quarter-to-quarter in how we're looking at the business and the performance of the business. I think we get into the trap of just managing quarter-to-quarter, but when we do that, there is no long view. It is about building a platform for sustainable business growth. In the case of Quest Diagnostics specifically, it is also a matter of how well we can develop our organization to generate the profit that not only satisfies our shareholders' expectations, but also enables us to do more to improve patient care. It's extremely important for us to focus on providing superior diagnostic innovations and customer service.
We hear more and more companies talk about hiring for culture and training for skills. Is that something that you practice? Yes. We developed an online tool we call a Real-life Job Preview, where we encourage job applicants to go online to see what a job is like in our "world." Then we take them through pre-screening questions. Only after they go through the screening process are we interested in speaking to them about employment. It's important for them to understand what our job is about.
In addition to technical skills, what soft skills do you believe are most important to your success? Nobody in this business – in our world – is an island. We really have to work with other people. Confidence is also extremely important. A lot of our frontline people work by themselves in a patient service center someplace. They really have to have confidence in what they're doing and how they're doing it.
How have you been able to maintain your culture as you've grown? We try to keep it really simple in putting together the picture of Quest Diagnostics in three words: patients, growth, people. Our most critical job is patient care. We have to do that in a way that grows our company in a profitable way, and we can only do that if we have people who are engaged in what they're doing every day and do it well. We need to continuously improve ourselves and facilitate each others' success.
What advice do you have for other industry leaders as they seek to grow their organizations? You have to focus on bringing your people with you. The world has gotten much more competitive overall. We have to find new ways of doing things and, in managing through this transition, if I don't bring my employees with me, I lose their engagement. And if we lose their engagement, we compromise the things that are really important for us to do. We focus on making change palatable to people, making sure they understand it, and bringing them through the transition with us so we emerge on the other side as a stronger team – and stronger company.

Will New York Become the East Coast's First Zero-Waste Metropolis?
By banning trans fats, targeting supersized sugary drinks, expanding urban agriculture, and ridding New York's hospitals of junk food, Michael Bloomberg is already one of the most active food policy mayors in U.S. history. And it appears that he's not done yet.
Before he leaves office next year, Bloomberg wants to put a dent in the amount of food the city's numerous businesses and eight million inhabitants throw in the trash. According to The New York Times, the administration will soon announce that it is hiring a composting plant to handle 100,000 tons of food scraps a year—representing about 10 percent of the city's residential food waste. In the United States and other developed countries, we throw out half as much food as we buy. In New York City, food that is unused gets buried in landfills, when it could be used to make compost or biogas.
"New York has been flirting with composting food scraps for several years, but it's heartening to see that they are ready to announce a citywide effort to keep food out of landfills," Jonathan Bloom, creator of WastedFood.com and author of American Wasteland, tells TakePart.
Under the program, which will start out as voluntary and eventually become mandatory, residents will be required to separate their food scraps into a brown city-issued bin. The rollout for the program will begin next year and could be citywide by 2015 or 2016, sanitation officials tell The New York Times.
But questions remain over whether residents and businesses will go along with the plan peacefully. They're already required to separate recyclables, with failure to do so correctly resulting in fines. A failure to separate food scraps would also result in a fine, New York sanitation officials said.
"I would caution that this is far from a done deal. There will be pushback from residents and restaurants, as separating food scraps requires a bit more labor," says Bloom. "I just hope that New Yorkers have the foresight and patience to get through the inevitable bumps to reach that zero-food-to-landfill goal."
Several smaller cities, including Seattle and San Francisco, already require composting, but New York would be the first major East Coast city to tackle food waste on a large scale. As it has on other issues—like bans on smoking and trans fats—required food-waste separation in Gotham could prompt other cities to follow suit, Bloom says.
"If a city as massive and complex as New York can have mandatory composting, it can happen just about anywhere," he says.

Manuals, Literature & Videos for the Solara
Overview of the Solara
The Invacare Solara wheelchair incorporates features never before available on a manual tilting wheelchair. It is built around the concept of keeping the client's center of gravity almost perfectly stationary throughout the entire 55 degree tilt range. This allows for a more compact wheelbase, without sacrificing stabilty and it makes tilting almost effortless to the caregiver since the client's weight is not a factor in the tilting process.
Measuring Guide
View Detailed Measurement Guide
- Seat Depth1
- Measure from the most posterior point of the body to the inside of the knee, minus at least two inches. Some prefer more leg overhang to make room for their hand when lifting their leg.
- Back Height2
- Measured from the seat base to the top of the wheelchair back. Depends on how much upper back support is needed, and also affects freedom for the upper body to rotate.
- Rear Seat to Floor3
- Measurement from the ground to the rear seat edge. Relative to the front seat-to-floor dimension, this determines the rearward slope ("dump" or "squeeze") of the wheelchair seat.
- Hanger Angle4
- Determines how far the toes extend away from the body, measured from the horizontal. A tighter angle allows the wheelchair to turn around in less space. Depends in part on ability of the knee to bend towards the perpendicular.
- Seat Width5
- Determined by the widest point of the body from knee to hip, plus an inch to ensure room to move. Consider bulk of clothing, particularly a heavy winter coat, if relevant.
- Wheel Camber6
- Angle of the wheel relative to the vertical. More camber improves stability and agility, but also limits ability to pass through narrow spaces. A typical daily wheelchair uses three degrees of camber.
- Front Seat to Floor7
- Measure the leg from the back of the knee to the sole of the foot. Then subtract the thickness of the cushion when it is compressed. Next, add a minimum of two inches for footrest clearance. Do not add the footrest clearance if the wheelchair will be foot-propelled.
- Footrest Width8
- Measure from the inside of each legrest tubing the distance or desired distance between legrests.
- Center of Gravity9
- Measure from the front of the seat back post to the center of the rear axel.
- Seat to Footrest Length10
- Measure from the edge of the seat upholstery to the top rear of the footrest.
- Backrest Angle11
- Measure the the angle of the back post to the floor. Ninety degrees will be perpendicular to the floor, to approximate the angle from the back post to the seat, subtract two degrees from measurment for every .5" of dump.

'The Good Wife' Review: 'The Decision Tree'
Welcome to the 100th episode of The Good Wife. It's somehow fitting that the show celebrates this milestone in the middle of a season where it's firing on all cylinders. And since this is also the midseason finale, it's really the perfect time for all the fireworks to come out.
When Kalinda tails loose cannon Damian (Jason O'Mara) to Florrick/Agos, that puts a seed of doubt in Will's mind. But Damian is just showing up for a meeting that David Lee was supposed to be at. He presents Alicia with her exit contract, which will officially sever her ties with Lockhart/Gardner, but then she leaves him unattended to handle an issue with her firm's holiday party. Cary wants Alicia to invite Peter to attract a bigger crowd, which she thinks is a bad idea, but Peter is perfectly fine with, as long as his mother gets to come, too. Because everyone loves having their mother-in-law around, right? Soon, Jackie is having an uncomfortable conversation with Alicia's mom (Stockard Channing), who wants to know why she wasn't notified.
As if that's not enough drama, Clarke (Nathan Lane) interrupts to tell Alicia that her former client Matthew Ashbaugh (Fringe's John Noble, in delightful flashbacks) has died and left her twelve million dollars. His wife (Kate Hodge from Level 9) is not happy about that, and who do you think she hires to contest the will? Even when it means bringing a call girl hired by her husband as a witness? That's not even the most awkward part: both sides are willing to put Alicia and Will's past affair on the table in order to win.
Now, we're really ready to move on past that, but if we've got to go to that well again, this is a pretty entertaining way to do it. Will's drinking while preparing his questions for his ex-girlfriend, and having uncomfortable flashbacks to when she wasn't his ex, turning the whole exercise into a vicious dissection of their short-lived relationship. The dude clearly has some unfinished business, and it's perfectly wrought in a thirty-second stretch that doesn't even involve dialogue, which is followed by the gut punch of Will attacking Alicia on the witness stand in his head. If you needed any more proof that Josh Charles deserves an Emmy, you just got it. And our heartstrings have just been ripped out.
The next day, after Will reluctantly proceeds with his plan to skewer Alicia, she surprises him by implicating David. That evening, he awkwardly calls Alicia and reveals to her that they discovered a safe deposit box that contained four other wills. Basically, this is something Ashbaugh did for fun. That means all the wills are going to be invalidated, and nobody is going to win anything. So, they've torn into each other for no reason, which at least Will seems to regret.
Meanwhile, Eli is baffled by pretty much everyone, which amuses us to no end. And Kalinda gets hit on by Damian just before she's arrested by a detective (Jordana Spiro, My Boys) that he just happens to be friendly with. Then they end up sleeping together. There's your romantic drama, if you were missing it.
By the time we actually get to the much-ballyhooed holiday party, Peter has invited Donna Brazile (playing herself), and Eli thinks "we have lost all shards of sanity." Plus, drug dealer Lemond Bishop has appeared, because Robyn thought Alicia wanted to court him as a client. The mothers are arguing. And Marilyn tells Alicia's mom that she's naming her baby after Peter, causing Eli to spit. Does anyone else wonder if he keeps bulk quantities of Advil in his office?
Landmark episodes such as this don't always shine. Too often, they become too full of pomp and circumstance, or efforts to do something big for the sake of doing it. That's what makes this installment of The Good Wife such a joy to behold. It's just a damn fine episode for the sake of being a damn fine episode. The subplots are entertaining, particularly Eli once again struggling to keep everyone under control, but at its core, this is letting a trio of wonderful actors - Julianna Margulies, Josh Charles, and even though he's in the past tense, John Noble - do what we already know they do so well. All their characters go through a variety of emotions in the hour, and they take us along with them.
It stands as a reminder that to make good television, you don't need a gimmick, a high concept, or even some twisty plot; just come up with some quality writing (courtesy of co-creators Robert and Michelle King), hand it over to veteran actors at the top of their game, and let the magic happen. When most shows start to flag, this is one that's picking up steam. We can't wait to see what the next hundred episodes have in store.
The Good Wife will be back with new episodes beginning January 5. If you missed it this morning, you can check out our interview with Mike Colter about the return of Lemond Bishop.

17th and 18th Century Burney Collection Newspapers
The newspapers and news pamphlets gathered by the Reverend Charles Burney (1757-1817) represent the largest single collection of 17th and 18th century English news media available from the British Library. The collection includes more than 1000 pamphlets, proclamations, newsbooks and newspapers from the period. The collection covers more than 200 years of accounts from newspapers from England, Ireland, Scotland and a handful of papers from British colonies in the Americas and Asia. The original Burney volumes are now in a fragile condition and have been restricted from ordinary reading room use. Up until now, the only access has been through microfilm. This digital collection will put these early newspapers into the hands of scholars and researchers, opening up new areas of study in English history as well as in many other areas.
