Ode I
Heirmos: When Israel walked on foot in the deep as on dry land, on seeing their pursuer Pharaoh drowned, they cried: Let us sing to God a song of victory.
Ode III
Heirmos: There is none holy as Thou, O Lord my God, Who hast exalted the horn of Thy faithful,
O Good One, and hast strengthened us upon the rock of Thy confession.
|Ode IV
Christ is my power, my God and my
Lord, doth the august Church sing in godly fashion, and she doth cry out with a pure mind,
keeping festival in the Lord.
|Ode V
With Thy divine
light, O Good One, illumine the souls of them that rise early to pray to
Thee with love, I pray, that they may know Thee, O Word of God, as the
true God, Who recalleth us from the darkness of sin.
|Ode VI
Heirmos: Beholding the sea of life surging with the tempest of temptations,
I run to Thy calm heaven and cry unto Thee: Raise up my life from corruption,
O Greatly-merciful One.
|Ode VII
Heirmos: An Angel made the furnace sprinkle dew on the righteous
youths. But the command of God consumed the Chaldeans and prevailed upon the tyrant to cry: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers.
|Ode VIII
Heirmos: From the flame Thou didst sprinkle dew upon the Saints, and didst burn the sacrifice of a righteous man which was sprinkled with water. For Thou alone,
O Christ, dost do all as Thou willest. Thee do we exalt unto all ages.
|Ode IX
Heirmos: It is not possible for men to see God, on Whom the ranks of angels dare not gaze; but through thee,
O all-pure one, appeared to men the Word Incarnate, whom magnifying, with the heavenly hosts we call thee blessed.
|Prayer after the Kanon
O Master Christ God, Who hast healed my passions through Thy Passion, and hast cured my wounds through Thy wounds, grant me, who have sinned greatly against Thee, tears of compunction. Transform my body with the fragrance of Thy live-giving Body, and sweeten my soul with Thy precious Blood from the bitterness with which the foe bath fed me. Lift up my down-cast mind to Thee, and take it out of the abyss of perdition, for
I have no repentance, for I have no compunction, I have no consoling tears, which uplift children to their heritage. My mind bath been darkened through earthly passions,
I cannot look up to Thee in pain. I cannot warm myself with tears of love for Thee. But,
O Sovereign Lord Jesus Christ, Treasury of good things, give me thorough repentance and a diligent heart to seek Thee; grant me Thy grace, and renew in me the likeness of Thine image.
I have forsaken Thee - do Thou not forsake me! Come out to seek me; lead me up to Thy pasturage and number me among the sheep of Thy chosen flock. Nourish me with them on the grass of Thy Holy Mysteries, through the intercessions of Thy most pure Mother and all Thy saints. Amen.

The FJ-1 was the US Navy's first operational jet fighter and performed the first jet take off and landing from a carrier at sea.
The engine, fuel tank and air intake are within the fuselage, allowing for a super thin, high speed, laminar flow wing. Another innovative feature of the Fury was a small wheel mounted on the nose strut that permitted the aircraft to "kneel" allowing nose under tail storage on crowded carrier decks.
The FJ-1 was the last Navy aircraft to use machine guns.
In 1947, two FJ-1s from VF-5A performed the first carrier take off and landings. After tests of unassisted and catapult launches were conducted, the catapult launch became the standard due to operation and safety concerns.
One of the highlights of the Fury's service was the 1948 Bendix Trophy Race for jets with four FJ-1s taking the first four places over California ANG F-80s.
From this design, North American Aircraft developed the famous swept wing F-86.
Yanks FJ-1 is famed for its 1205 mile Seattle to Los Angeles speed record of 1 hour, 58 minutes & 7 seconds piloted by CDR Evan "Pete" Aurand in February of 1948.
When this aircraft was retired, it had accumulated 257 flight hours.
Acquired by Yanks in 1999, only two still exist today.

Fantastic recipe! It might be my pride as an inexperienced cook talking, but this is exactly what I want when I'm craving tomato soup. I did make a few minor changes- I halved the amount of heavy cream, and replaced one of the cans of peeled roma tomatoes with crushed tomatoes with basil (tuttorosso brand, for those who are particular about tomato brands). Though I agree, this makes WAY more than 4 servings- but I won't mind the leftovers with this one. Thanks, Blake!

Add a giant cup of their homemade iced tea, and it was the sort of meal you can only eat guilt-free when you're 16 (and probably why most of their business comes from the local high schools).
seriously though, the way i'd get through finals in college was promising myself that i'd get one of those sandwiches when i got home for the semester.

While some teams have already established themselves as Super Bowl contenders, the Minnesota Vikings are looking to climb up from the cellar of the NFC North to playoff contenders. A surprise rise from divisional worst to first is not as improbable as you might think.
Parity is at an extreme in the NFL. For eleven consecutive seasons at least one team who finished last in their division turned things around to capture the divisional title the very next year. As a matter of fact, the worst to first campaign has happened 15 times in the NFL since 2003.
Last season the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles both went from the bottom to the top in the first season under a new coaching staff. Will the Vikings follow their lead this season?
Eight NFL teams have a crack at the worst to first feat. Buffalo, Cleveland, Houston, Minnesota, Oakland, St. Louis, Tampa Bay and Washington face the unenviable challenge of trying to keep the consecutive streak alive. I'm not an odds maker, but I certainly think the Vikings have as good as any chance to pull it off.
So, who was the last NFC North team to go from worst to first? The Chicago Bear did it in 2005. Quarterback Rex Grossman spent most of his first 3 seasons sidelined with injuries and Kyle Orton, a 4th round rookie from Purdue, took the reins in week 2 and lead the Bears all the way to the playoffs. Orton's play wasn't the real story behind the Bears' rise to the top. The defensive unit lead by second year defensive coordinator Ron Rivera made major improvements to finish 2nd in the league in yards per game after being ranked 21st in that category in 2004. The 2005 Bears' defense also climbed all the way to 1st in points allowed.
If the Vikings aspire to finish on top of the NFC North this season, an improved defense under new head coach Mike Zimmer is an absolute must. And one of the biggest keys to improving the Vikings defense will be finding a way to keep Xavier Rhodes and Harrison Smith healthy and on the field for most of the season.
A new coaching staff and fresh concepts on the defensive side of the ball, plus personnel acquisitions like DT Linval Joseph, CB Captain Munnerlyn and first round draft pick LB Anthony Barr have me optimistic that the Vikings' defensive struggles are in the rear view mirror.
I'm not expecting a top ten D right out of the gate in 2014, but Zimmer has enough young talent to take a leap forward very quickly. Most Vikings fans have high hopes that sooner or later Zimmer will have the defense ranked near the top of the NFL leader board… and my fingers are crossed for sooner rather than later.
"personal accusations" ?? Looks like a typo in second to last paragraph.Like(0)Dislike(0)
Fixed, thanks Tom.Like(0)Dislike(0)
The Vikings don't need a top-10 defence to get back into the playoffs. If they had had even a mediocre defence last season, they'd have won the division. How many last-minute collapses do you get with a 16th-to-24th-rated squad? Fewer than the Purple gave up last year. I got tired of writing variations of "if they'd held up for the last two minutes, they'd have won the game."
We need a top ten defense to keep alive in this division, I'll argueLike(0)Dislike(0)
They don't need a top 10 defense to make the playoffs, but that's not the ultimate goal. A stellar defense will trump a stellar offense almost always. I think last years super bowl is a perfect example of that.Like(0)Dislike(0)
I absolutely believe we can go from last to first.
Especially if Zimmer just keeps his head about him and doesn't get caught up in all the hype about him being such a long-time overlooked head coach; 'Defensive genius', 'Players love him', etc.
Look what happened to Childress. A guy I had never heard of all of a sudden was this QB Guru, Offensive genius, groomed McNabb and so on.
All that went to his head and he actually started believing it and BAM! all of a sudden he's the smartest guy in the room, the next Belichek. We know how that all turned out; Worst Coach in the history of the Vikings and probably the NFL.
Just stay the course Zimmer and take us to the promised land
I'm not a Chilly-fan, but he wasn't the worst coach in Vikings history. That dishonour still goes to Les Steckel, and Les Frazier, with 3-win seasons under their belts.Like(0)Dislike(0)
So let it be done. We got this!
Disagree Fran…Les Steckle wins that award
Steckle was only the coach for a season. Childo cost this team 5 years due to his ineptness.Like(0)Dislike(0)
I'd put money on them today to win the division. Despite the inept jobs by both the offensive and defensive coordinators last year…..the team had many big wins, many winnable games, and just 2-3 that they got spanked.
Yes, they have positions to be concerned about, primarily LB and QB, but there isn't a team that isn't exposed somewhere.
The QB performance, even if it was Cassel or Ponder, will be much more improved and efficient with a scheme that utilizes the extreme talent at the skill positions. Imagine the upside if Teddy comes along and proves to have the playmaking ability he showed in college. Lights out.
I'm not near as concerned about the LB position as most everyone else seems to be. Especially if Mike Mauti is fully rehabbed and can stay healthy. Remember, before his knee injuries he was projected as a 1st or 2nd round pick. Also, if Barr is the guy Zimmer thins he is, he'll be a huge improvement at LB. Greenway will be inspired this year to put all the naysayers in their place too. And then there is Cole and even Hodges who can potentially make that jump.
QB scares me more than all of the positions but you're right; If Teddy can show the potential he did in college, we're going to the SuperBowl! (Ok, that's a bit of a reach but not for 2016)Like(0)Dislike(0)
Unproven is perhaps a better word than concerned…..I agree with your assessment of that bunch.Like(0)Dislike(0)
And lets not forget that our D-line has potentially gotten WAY better and that also bodes well for our LB's.Like(0)Dislike(0)
Agreed, the revitalized D-Line with Joseph anchoring the center and hopefully, Floyd taking the next step forward, will make a huge difference. The Williams Wall masked the really bad secondary the Vikings had, for years. Another year of rebuilding the defense should see the LB corps settled out, and the 'new' guys like Mauti, Hodges, and Cole, proving themselves one way or the other.Like(0)Dislike(0)
Look for the rookie QB and AP to light it up.
we won't have worse QB play than last year, and our D will be better, too, so yeah, we can do this
Worst to first is a possibility. In 1993, I came in last place in the Traverse County demolition derby. The very next year I won the whole thing!

Man, I'd forgotten how mediocre the rest of the division was last year. Yeah, worst to first is a real possibility but I think we'd have a better chance with Bridgewater starting than with Cassel.
The defense should be better but there are still some big question marks.
1. I loved the Griffen, Joseph and Wootten signings and drafting Crichton but is Floyd the real deal? I think Williams was still a Top 10 starter at RDT last year and an effective NT when called upon to fill in. Floyd could probably use another year on the bench, but I'd love to be wrong.
2. I loved signing Munnerlyn and Cox and wish Chris Cook only the best but do we have a legit third corner on the roster? Will Cox, Robinson, Prater or James be able to play well enough on the outside when Munnerlyn slides into the slot?
3. There's a whole lot of youngsters in the linebacking corps, but how many of them will become capable NFL starters this year or ever? Barr will probably be forced to start this year no matter how raw he might be. Can Mauti's knees stay healthy for a full season? Is Cole the real deal or just a bit of a folk hero? Hodges was a disappointment last year – come on, he couldn't push Marvin Mitchell to the bench – so I'm a little surprised about the optimism around him; in fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see Watts take his roster spot. Finally, folks are whistling past the graveyard on Greenway. It's been three bad years in a row and I just don't think his body will allow him to ever play as well as he did four and five years ago.
I'd be satisfied with 7-9, pleased by 9-7 and ecstatic with 10 or more wins.

Legend whispers to us of a fierce and fearsome pirate known as Jose´ Gaspar, the last of the buccaneers who once controlled the waters off the coast of Florida. In the twelve years of his dreaded reign, he is said to be responsible for the plunder and destruction of no less than 36 ships, leaving behind a sunken remnant with their crews killed and their women ravaged. Today, the tales of his exploits come to us in hushed tones saturated in myth, and little evidence remains of his once terrifying tyranny.
So what do you do with a mythical villain of bloody legend?
You make him the patron rogue of Tampa, Florida, and host an annual event to celebrate his invasion of the seaport city. What else?
As the crowds gather this January to don pirate regalia and speak in strange, broken dialects, the odd Gasparilla celebration prompts questions of our own human nature. Something about pirates resonates with us. We find ourselves drawn to the promise of danger, adventure, and the legacy of long-forgotten treasure.
For Christians, it presents a marked contrast between the perilous escapades of the seafarer and the protected shores of the "good kids."
Yet, this isn't the story I read when I thumb through the history of the early church. Gleaming chapels that shelter us from worldly danger were never penned into the book of Acts. I read a different story, a story of intrigue and wonder, of risky faith and heroic living. I read of those who stepped beyond the protected pew and into a saga that would shake up the entire world.
It is a saga we would do well to recover.
So, with this in mind, here are three tips to reclaim your inner pirate.
Pirate Tip #1: Walk The Plank
In Matthew 14 we come across the tale of sailors trapped at sea in the midst of a raging storm. Here, aboard their tiny vessel, they face the fierce onslaught of whipping wind, pummeling waves, and the inky black of the midnight sky. Then, in the midst of their perfect storm, they see the mysterious shape of their savior walking upon the crashing waves.
It was Peter who was willing to walk the plank. Yelling against the screaming wind, he asked that water-walking figure to invite him to step out upon the churning sea. Permission received, he leapt from the boat to discover that the liquid beneath his toes happened to support his weight. Even as his faith wavered and he began to sink, it was Jesus that would pluck him from the murky brine, and together they stood as the wind and the waves swirled about them.
To walk the plank means to step out in risky faith.
Pirate Tip #2: Draw The Guards
It was in the city of Damascus that the newly converted Saul/Paul unleashed the pirate within. Filled with passionate boldness, his proclamation quickly drew the wrath of the city's religious defenders. Placing their sentries, they sought to capture and kill the apostolic troublemaker. As Acts 9:20-25 tells it, Paul made his escape in overwhelmingly pirate fashion: through a basket lowered outside the city gates in the dead of night.
I can almost hear him calling back as he fled the city: "Gentlemen, I trust you will always remember this day as the day that you almost caught Apostle Paul of Tarsus."
To draw the guards is to be willing to operate in passionate boldness.
Pirate Tip #3: Commandeer A Crew
The water-walking pirate Peter did not abandon his piratehood that day upon the Sea of Galilee. We see him again in the second chapter of Acts, once more encountering a swirling wind. This wind, however, bore upon its lofty gales miraculous tongues of fire. As the flame settled into Peter's chest, he stepped out onto the balcony and spoke.
That day, three thousand came to be followers of Peter's Captain. In that fateful moment, the church was born and we came to realize that we were never intended to sail life's waters alone. Christianity is embedded within community. Our spiritual voyage is only fully realized when we raise the sails alongside other followers of our great and glorious Pirate Lord.
To commandeer a crew is to become part of a vibrant faith community.
So there you have it, scallywags. Raise the sails and draw anchor.
The sea awaits.

If you like irony, you'll love these guys. The worst on-court incident in memory is bringing out the best in UC basketball. They lose their best player, at least statistically, and they improve. They seem a fractured and suspended mess, and they win three routs in a row. In so doing, they have taken an alley-oop pass and dunked on conventional wisdom.
In 11 days, "What are they going to do without Yancy Gates?" has become, "What are they going to do when he gets back?"

Soaps Digest Column.
The best of the blogs.
The shows were full of naughty surprises last week, giving everyone a little eye candy whether they wanted it or not. Bill got an eyeful when Brooke showed off the goods on "B&B," Kate and Connie both got some from Sonny on "GH," Chloe laid one on a drunk Daniel on "DOOL," and Lauren did some double duty of her own on "Y&R."
B&B Breakdown:
While the storylines have been encompassing more characters, Candace felt like a lot of personality traits have been abruptly changed to advance them. "Rick and Maya are definitely sparking, and she brings out a different side of Rick, but at the same time, it's utterly confusing," Candace said. "Rick's been an absolute ass these past months and suddenly he's become Mr. Nice Guy. Also, presumably to facilitate this storyline, Caroline has inexplicably become a spoiled, selfish, pouty diva. As a viewer, I wish they could have found a way to tell the story of Rick falling for Maya without the abrupt change in personalities." Find out which character Candace would like to see develop more in the Bold and the Beautiful Weekly Blog.
Deconstructing Days:
Chloe's schemes finally got the shot in the arm they needed last week when mama bear came back to Salem. "Nancy's a pretty good schemer which Chloe needs desperately," Christine said. "It was surprising that Nancy told her daughter that she can separate Jenn and Dan but if he doesn't love her she can't make him. Seems Chloe should have learned this a long time ago. Nicole also brought up a good point – Chloe may not even be suited for Daniel anymore. She's no saint like her Royal Hortonness but Dan does seem awfully worried about hurting Chloe's feelings which shows he still cares at least to some extent." Also, Nicole was barking up the wrong tree in the Days of Our Lives Weekly Blog.
GH Rundown:
Luke and Laura finally shared some scenes, and Scott loomed large over them both. But Hollie was more concerned about Luke's return to the bottle. "So is anyone going to bring up the fact that Luke is drinking again?" she asked. "He has taken a few drinks over the past few weeks and no one seems to think anything of it. Tracy should give it a mention at least. This can only mean complications for any kind of relationship that could be on the horizon with Laura who finally had some scenes this week. She really let Scott control her every action. Standing up for herself has never been her strong suit and he is taking every advantage." And read about Caleb's maybe-exit in the General Hospital Weekly Blog.
Matt's Musings:
Will finally started to see what Nick was all about last week. Finally. "Gabigate hit new highs and lows this week," Matt said. "Sonny demonstrated tight lipped wit. Will continued to prove that he's become a stereotypical air-headed blond. Lucas stood beside Sonny until they began to look disturbingly alike. As Nick was busy blackmailing Will into dropping all ties with his baby, all that Lucas Roberts 'er, I mean Horton' could do was tell Fallon that he wasn't a Horton anymore. Demonstrating mental powers that beggar belief, Nick managed to completely ignore them all, as well as Sami's blustering and EJ's threats, and just putter on with his life like he was playing a round of golf." And read about John's return in Matt's Musings.
Restless Rant:
It was another great, if not terribly exciting, week in Genoa City, especially for Adam. "I think Adam should just stick to work for now, since he's getting nowhere fast with the women in his life," Candace said. "Sharon moves in, only to announce hours later that she should move back out and quit Newman. When Chelsea shows up, Sharon doesn't say a peep about moving on without Adam, just excuses herself and makes a point of saying she'll be back soon. Hmm. So Chelsea makes a third attempt at telling Adam she's carrying his child and once again poops out. Honestly, this whole drama with Chelsea not knowing how Adam will react and blah, blah is beyond me. The whole point of the two of them was that they fell into a relationship because they were so much alike and understood each other." Find out what happened between Michael and Lauren in the Young and the Restless Weekly Blog.

On the heels of several high-profile political scandals involving members of the Chinese Communist Party, incoming president Xi Jinping has pledged to fight corruption. He has little choice; graft is not only a widespread problem in China, but one that is becoming all too visible. When petty deals between local officials and real estate developers caused a riot in Wukan a year ago, it made international news. The New York Times recently sparked trouble when it revealed that Prime Minister Wen Jiabao and his family have amassed a $2.7 billion fortune. One study claims that in a single year -- 2010 -- more than $400 billion (USD) in illicit money was taken out of China.
The scope of the problem demands action, and so does an increasingly outspoken Chinese public. The new government, meanwhile, sees this as an opportunity for political consolidation. Of the two senior officials netted so far in corruption probes -- Bo Xilai and Li Jianguo -- one is a rogue populist, and the other is a partisan of outgoing president Hu Jintao. The question appears to be not whether reform will take place, but who will be the target.
It's a dangerous situation. In a country where corruption is often the invisible hand that moves markets, any attempt at removing it will be economically disruptive. To take one example, China's real estate boom has enriched officials and well-placed individuals who found ways to circumvent the country's strict property controls. Housing bureaucrats illegally acquired apartments intended for low-income families, and profited from a rental market that is the only option for many millions of migrant workers. A woman named Gong Aiai became a media sensation -- and incurred the wrath of authorities -- when she amassed over $160 million in Beijing real estate under multiple identities. She's fled police... and she's not alone. The Sydney Morning Herald reports that "a wave of luxury home sales began last November and has accelerated since December" in response to the anticipated crackdown. The China Daily has called for requirements that officials disclose their property holdings.
At the same time, China is attempting to reform an abusive practice by which local governments seize land from farmers, compensating them at a fraction of the property's value, and then sell it to real estate developers. In many areas, these land sales account for a larger share of local revenue than taxes. Each year sees roughly 100,000 mass demonstrations as a result of land seizures, and the number of rural Chinese evicted from their homes is estimated at 4 million annually.
Here are two cases that, to the extent that reforms are pursued, will impact an already-troubled real estate market, and a real estate development sector that in 2011 accounted for a tenth of China's economy. The local governments, who have amassed trillions of dollars in debt, would be in even worse shape.
The inclusion of several individuals with close ties to state-owned enterprises has led some to speculate that the new government will be gentle to the SOEs (state-owned enterprises) that constitute more than a third of the national economy. It seems likely, though, that Beijing will be forced to take action. The infrastructure boom that began in 2009 has produced two very noticeable results: large profits for a construction sector that is overwhelmingly state-owned, and a rash of collapsing bridges. While smog in Beijing is nothing new, the public reaction to it in January was unusually strong. The growth of Internet forums like Sina Weibo has allowed Chinese citizens to voice their complaints, often with favorable results. Beijing has pledged to enforce stricter standards on air pollution, and China's bloggers are now turning their attention to the country's polluted groundwater.
The risks posed by any reform are magnified by the fact that, through a rapid expanse in credit -- an increase of $14 trillion between 2008 and 2013, according to Fitch -- the Chinese economy has become heavily interdependent. Local governments have leveraged themselves to fund dubious infrastructure and development projects, while corporate debt has reached more than 120% of GDP. SOEs were mostly prohibited from speculating in the real estate boom, but many of them became lenders themselves, using the banks as intermediaries. Housing is primarily a cash market, but real estate development is not; there is at least anecdotal evidence that some of the recent growth in wealth management products –- China's equivalent of shadow banking -– is driven by liquidity problems in the development sector. All of this makes rocking the boat a dangerous proposition.
Xi Jinping has argued that the Party's survival is at risk, and that reform is necessary. It would be better to say that reform is inevitable. The faults of China's model have become too great to ignore. However, the economy may be too fragile to bear such a reform, and Beijing's anti-corruption campaign could carry a higher price than anyone realizes.

In Memoriam: Slobodan Drakulic
It is with sadness that we acknowledge the sudden and unexpected death of Dr. Slobodan Drakulic. His death is a loss to the academy and a blow to the Canadian Sociological Association where Dr. Drakulic was an important member of a network of Canadian Political Sociologists. As a Sociologist, Dr. Drakulic was a strong supporter of the Association, regularly organized sessions at the Congress and was a creative voice for the discipline.
Dr. Drakulic received his undergraduate and Masters degrees from the University of Zagreb. He then went on to the University of Toronto to complete his PhD. Dr. Drakulic taught at Rijeka, Zagreb and the University of Toronto before becoming a full time faculty member at Ryerson University as a professor of Sociology. The focus of his scholarly work was in the areas of nationalism, war and peace, the history of ideas and social movements. Over the years, he contributed to the scholarly discourse on topics and issues important to both the academy and politics.Read More News

Obama To Offer Target Cuts In Greenhouse Gases At Copenhagen
World in recession?
Wheels coming off the science of AGW?
High unemployment continuing to rise?
2010 an election year?
Senate historically opposed to international treaties that hurt the economy?
Great – why not go to the UN's Copenhagen treaty summit and offer some totally unrealistic and probably unachievable cuts in greenhouse gas emissions so we can feel like one of the cool kids?
President Barack Obama is considering setting a provisional target for cutting America's huge greenhouse gas emissions, removing the greatest single obstacle to a landmark global agreement to fight climate change.
This is absolutely perfect for the talker-in-chief. Go. Promise. Bask. This is how you turn a useless conference which will most likely never accomplish a thing in reference to its primary goal into one all about the president.
Nigel Lawson points out the obvious:
But the meeting will still be declared a great success. Politicians do not like being associated with failure, so they will make sure that whatever emerges from Copenhagen is declared a success, and promise to meet again next year. This will at least give our political leaders the time to get themselves off the hook.
"Off the hook" in Obama's case will be bringing a provisional treaty back with cuts he's promised included and trying to get the Senate to ratify it. Kyoto went 98-0 against and is widely recognized – given the utter failure of other countries to even get close to their promised targets – as the smart move of the time.
Copenhagen is to go one step further. As PM Gordon Brown declared last week:
Copenhagen must "forge a new international agreement … [which] must contain the full range of commitments required: on emissions reductions by both developed and developing countries, on finance and on verification".
Meaning? Meaning the idea is to stop developed countries from "outsourcing" their carbon emissions to "developing" countries. And to put those developing countries – in the middle of a global recession – on a restricted carbon diet.
It. Is. Not. Going. To. Happen.
Developing countries may agree the industrialized countries need to go on that diet, but they're not going to hobble themselves unless massive transfer payments are involved. Massive. They are going to have to be satisfied that this sort of agreement causes them no harm economically. Good luck with that.
And, of course, with the lion's share of the transfer payment bill and his promised cuts in hand, President Obama has to come back and convince the Senate, in a re-election year, that giving away even more money we don't have and further crippling our economy for, at best, a marginal effect on the climate, is a good idea.
Cap-and-trade is on hold until at least the spring of '10 in the Senate. Depending on what Obama does in Copenhagen (being loved means giving away the farm if necessary) it could be DOA when it is taken up again in the Senate. Senators, at the time, are going to be sticking their political fingers into the wind and assessing the popularity of an economy killing bill in the midst of a full bore scientific scandal about AGW's science, continuing high unemployment and negative economic numbers. Most are not going to like what they see or hear – especially with November 2010 approaching for a third of them.
16 Responses to Obama To Offer Target Cuts In Greenhouse Gases At Copenhagen
I said there were four bullets we have to dodge until after the 2010 elections. Cap and Tax, card check, internet regulation, and Obamacare. Looks like the big one, Obamacare is going to hit us in some form or another. But the others might still be avoided.
After the midterm elections there will certainly be more conservative minded people in congress which will make it much harder for them to do anything.
Kyoto? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' KYOTO! All Imeme has to do is sign an executive order and have the EPA do it. Or he could even do what he did with regard to the KSM trial and get the head of the EPA to do it "on her own authority" so he doesn't have to take the flak for it.
I hope and pray that, in light of the "inexplicable" flattening of global temperatures and the hacked e-mails from CRU, the wheels are really coming of the global warming bandwagon. However, I'm not completely hopeful as our pals in MiniTru are totally invested in continuing the lie… and covering up their own complicity in it. Hardly a day goes by without some hysterical report about MORE evidence of global warming. Take, for example, this (ahem) timely article from al-AP:
Warming's impacts sped up, worsened since Kyoto
By SETH BORENSTEIN, AP Science Writer – Monday, November 23
Since the 1997 international accord to fight global warming, climate change has worsened and accelerated _ beyond some of the grimmest of warnings made back then.
And it's not just the frozen parts of the world that have felt the heat in the dozen years leading up to next month's climate summit in Copenhagen:
_The world's oceans have risen by about an inch and a half.
_Droughts and wildfires have turned more severe worldwide, from the U.S. West to Australia to the Sahel desert of North Africa.
_Species now in trouble because of changing climate include, not just the lumbering polar bear which has become a symbol of global warming, but also fragile butterflies, colorful frogs and entire stands of North American pine forests.
_Temperatures over the past 12 years are 0.4 of a degree warmer than the dozen years leading up to 1997.
Even the gloomiest climate models back in the 1990s didn't forecast results quite this bad so fast.
"The latest science is telling us we are in more trouble than we thought," said Janos Pasztor, climate adviser to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING!!!! / sarc
Kyoto went 98-0 against and is widely recognized – given the utter failure of other countries to even get close to their promised targets – as the smart move of the time
Yet all I heard for years was how Bush was evil for pulling out of Kyoto…
I enjoy watching the dimwitted liberals on CNN and MSDNC keep saying that there is a "civil war in the Republican Party," when, in fact, the Demmies are a party about to collapse while being in full-on denial about what is going to happen to them in the near future.
Do you think I am wrong? Check out this story from Politico, dealing with how the health care disaster is likely to blow up right in Harry Reid's face:
The Demmies are going to be pounded next November. The explosion will be so massive, that people will have to wear eyeshades for months just to avoid being blinded by it's intensity. Read the polls, check out the growing anger over what the Demmies in the Congress and the WH are doing to us (not for us), and you will see what I mean.
It's December 2009, please remember the nominations for the Nobel Prize have to be in by sometime in February. In order for President Imeme to be eligible once again for the award (given for making promises) it would be best if he promised to solve the whole global warming thing (which as we know we Americans in general, and specifically, George W. Bush, are almost completely responsible for).
And it will probably net him another cover on Time Magazine (all Imeme, All the Time!). He'll want that for his photo collection.
Meanwhile I the real world, I noticed only one very very small Imeme calendar yesterday in Barnes and Noble, I presume he's not selling very well these days (Cheerleaders and Swimsuit girls on the other hand are still doing quite well)
The real metric will come in January when we see the unsold calendars. Costco had a nice big pile of Obama calendars last month. I'm guessing they'll still have a pretty good sized pile come 2010.
That's what Obama is best at producing…….a big pile
A "shovel ready" pile!
Update: a little birdy tells me that Rep. Dennis Moore, D-KS, will announce his retirement because, even though he is a Blue Dog Demmie, he voted for the Crapulus package and much of the agenda of The Clown™. He surveyed his district, and realized that his political career was now finished.
My question is: how many Demmies will soon see the same handwriting on the wall?
This works for Obama. He can go to Copenhagen and make sweeping promises, then come back home and have congress turn him down. Then he can turn to the world and shrug his shoulders and explain to them that the vast right wing conspiracy did it again. Even having a majority in both houses of congress didn't save us!
Tonus – … [Imeme] can turn to the world and shrug his shoulders and explain to them that the vast right wing conspiracy did it again.
And the rest of the dems, with the more-than-willing complicity of MiniTru, will back him up. It's ALWAYS the GOP's fault. Consider this example from our pals at Time:
After the Health Vote, Republicans Plot Attack Strategy
by Karen Tumulty
The Senate's first day of debate on sweeping legislation to overhaul the health-care system produced a squeaker of a vote – exactly the 60 that majority leader Harry Reid needed to overcome a threatened Republican filibuster that could have blocked him from even bringing the bill to the floor. But it also gave a clear picture of the Republican messaging strategy as the legislation moves forward into what promises to be weeks of tendentious debate after the Thanksgiving recess. The minority intends to launch a series of surgical strikes on key parts of the bill, and to raise questions about whether it all adds up to what the Democrats are claiming. [emphasis mine – dj505]
My goodness! Those nasty ol' Republicans have just been standing in the way of everything, haven't they? And now they're planning to play politics. Shame on them! / sarc
It must be nice to be a democrat: no matter what you do, it's always somebody else's fault.
Oh, and Tumulty finishes with this little gem:
But having come this far, can Washington really afford to just walk away from the health care problem, leaving tens of millions uninsured and health costs spiraling upward? That's really the question that the Senate must now face. As Republican turned Democrat Arlen Specter put it on Fox News: "The one option which is not present in my judgment is the option of doing nothing." [emphasis mine – dj505]
Yeah, Arlen Specter: a voice EVERYBODY should heed. NOT!
This works for Obama. He can go to Copenhagen and make sweeping promises, then come back home and have congress turn him down.
Given how that strategy was piloted by Al Gore, it ought to work. Al ended up rich with a big old Nobel prize. I think he could start his own religion. Maybe he and Obama should be the patron saints to Gaia.
Just when you thought he was down, he reinvents himself ..
Those conversations led Gore to politically inconvenient conclusions in this new book. In his conversations with Schmidt and other colleagues at the beginning of the year, Gore explored new studies – published only last week – that show methane and black carbon or soot had a far greater impact on global warming than previously thought. Carbon dioxide – while the focus of the politics of climate change – produces around 40% of the actual warming. Gore acknowledged to Newsweek that the findings could complicate efforts to build a political consensus around the need to limit carbon emissions.
"Over the years I have been among those who focused most of all on CO2, and I think that's still justified," he told the magazine. "But a comprehensive plan to solve the climate crisis has to widen the focus to encompass strategies for all" of the greenhouse culprits identified in the Nasa study.
… but I thought that "black carbon (i.e. soot) blocked the sunlight. !?
Next we will find out that Al Gore has cornered the market on methane absorbers.
… Gore explored new studies – published only last week – that show methane and black carbon or soot had a far greater impact on global warming than previously thought. Carbon dioxide – while the focus of the politics of climate change – produces around 40% of the actual warming.
1. It has long been a criticism of global warming that the theories* focused too much – almost exclusively – on CO2, overlooking the role played by water vapor / clouds. Now that the global warming scientists** have been apparently caught committing scientific fraud on a breathtaking scale, Gore "conveniently" discovers that he might have (ahem) overemphasized the whole CO2 thing just a little bit.
2. Does anybody believe that Gore, whose highest level of education consists of flunking out of seminary, understood much of anything in those studies he allegedly "explored"? Why does MiniTru continue to treat this clown like he has a shred of actual scientific ability???
Gore acknowledged to Newsweek that the findings could complicate efforts to build a political consensus around the need to limit carbon emissions.
Gotta give Algore credit where it's due: he knows how to shift the goalposts and keep his con going. Having been confronted with evidence that the earth "inexplicably" isn't warming they way he and his fellow racketeers have claimed and that their flimsy "theory" about CO2 doesn't hold water, Gore insists that "we need to do more research" on the "climate crisis". It's like a swindler who, when confronted by patsies angry that their "investment" hasn't paid off what he promised, admits that things haven't gone QUITE as well as he'd hoped, but if they'll only invest just a little more to "get over the hump", the money will REALLY start rolling in.
The simple fact of the matter is that THERE ISN'T A CLIMATE CRISIS. I suggest that the global temperature data, which are spotty to begin with, have been so manipulated and even outright fabricated that we have no idea whether the earth has gotten appreciably warmer or cooler in the past centuries. We certainly don't know that our activity is responsible for any temperature change that HAS occured, much less the exact mechanism of this. Most importantly, we do know that the earth has been much hotter than it is now, AND much colder, so IF the climate is changing, this is likely an absolutely natural process that would occur whether or not we drive SUV's and use incandescent lamps.
I'd like to see Gore, Jones, and the rest of the AGW alarmists hauled up on RICO charges.
(*) I use the word "theories" facetiously, as theories are what real scientists use to attempt to explain the physical universe around us. If the CRU e-mails are genuine, it is clear that the global warming "theories" are more akin to fantasies constructed by professional con artists.
(**) I use the term "scientists" because the folks at CRU have advanced degrees in various sciences. However, it is clear that they are NOT behaving like scientists, but rather like con artists.
I'd like to see Gore, Jones, and the rest of the AGW alarmists hauled up on RICO charges.
That would encompass about 90% of the LapDog media as well, including that dumb f&ck*ng c&nt at The Weather Channel.
Too bad Michael Chichton didn't live long enough to see CRU implode! 🙁

One person died after a three-vehicle crash today on West Central Avenue at Herr Road in Sylvania Township, troopers at the Toledo post of the Ohio Highway Patrol said.
Gary A. Ford, 58, of Berkey, was stopped on eastbound Central, waiting to turn north on Herr Road about 1:05 p.m., when a car driven by Austin M. Smith, 19, of Ottawa Lake struck the rear of Mr. Ford's sport-utility vehicle and forcing it left of center, troopers said. Mr. Ford's vehicle was struck by a westbound tractor-trailer driven by Thomas L. Mika, 61, of Lyons, Ohio. Mr. Ford's vehicle went off the north side of the road and overturned.
Mr. Ford was taken to Flower Hospital, where he later died. Mr. Smith and Mr. Mika were not injured. All the drivers wore seat belts.
Central was closed at Herr in both directions for more than three hours.
The crash remains under investigation, troopers said.

Picture the old man with the baby in his arms. He stands chuckling with giddy joy, or perhaps he gazes with streaming tears on his cheeks, or is lost in transfixed wonder. He says that this is enough now, he is ready to die. He has seen salvation and he can depart in peace. But what has he seen, really?

Cross Channel Shopping Is a Must
The Compete Online Shopper Intelligence study provides powerful insight into the complete online shopping experience. For more consumers insights, please contact Debra Miller at email@example.com for more information.
More than 1 out of every 3 consumers indicated that they are extremely or very likely to research products online before purchasing them in a store, accordingly to the latest Online Shopper Intelligence study. While this statistic is interesting and thought provoking, it is not all together surprising. The need for cross channel shopping has been in the news and on retailers' minds for a while. But in order for retailers to master the art of cross channel shopping, they have to understand consumer expectations, the main drivers of cross channel shopping, and, of course, industry variations.
Consumer expectations around online shopping emphasize the need for retailers to create a fluid cross channel experience. Consumers do not differentiate between store inventory and online inventory, meaning that retailers need to stop thinking about them as two separate entities. The ability to pickup and return online purchases in a store are high up on consumers' wish list, meaning retailers need to adopt these policies if they are to meet consumer demands and stay competitive in the market place.
You can see from the data above, cost, convenience, and the need for a tactile experience are the top reasons consumers research online, but purchase in a store. While retailers can alleviate some of the cost and convenience hurdles with free and fast shipping or in store pickup and returns, they cannot provide consumers with a tactile experience over the Internet (or at least not yet!). Knowing that consumers will use the Internet as a tool to narrow down their purchase options before going to the store for their in-person comparison, retailers must provide easy to find store hour, location, and directions. Savvy retailers would also make sure inventory online matches merchandise carried in store and product information on their website is accurate in order to convert online shoppers into in store purchasers.
Finally, retailers need to understand how consumer cross channel behavior varies by industry. Electronics top the list when looking at the tendency to research online, but purchase in a store is looked at across industry, with more than half of the consumers surveyed saying they research electronics online, but purchase in a store. Home related products round out slots 2-4 at about 40% of shoppers stating they research online before purchasing offline. This means that these retailers need to be especially diligent in providing consumers with a smooth cross channel experience and start to think of every online shopper as a potential in store customer. It would also be strategically prudent of these retailers to make sure they are present on "Where to Buy" lists on third party sites so that they do not miss out on in-market consumers.

You may think that writing your personal statement or cover letter is the only part of an application process that requires creativity. After you've wrestled with a way to tell your story in other than a clichéd manner ("It was a dark and stormy night..."), you may feel that you don't have to spend that much energy constructing your resume or CV. Wrong! A well-crafted summary of your life's achievements may be the first, and possibly only, written document that the people evaluating you ever get to see. Fortunately, the resume and CV are very easy to construct and maintain if you follow these simple guidelines.
Before we get to the five steps, let's clarify the difference between a CV and a resume. The CV (which stands for "curriculum vitae") is typically used in the world of academia, where size tends to matter (longer is better). The resume is typically used in the business world, where short and sweet is more likely to seal the deal. I'll use the terms interchangeably here just for convenience, but you should keep in mind that if you're in an academic context, you definitely want to construct a CV and not a resume. If you're in the business world, you should have a resume but keep a longer version on the back burner should the application allow for more than one page.
Step 1: Decide on the format, but whatever you decide, make it simple and elegant. Don't even think about using a pre-set template produced by a software company. The design should not detract from the content, and if you adorn it with bells and whistles, the content may get lost. You also may lose the interest of the more conservative evaluators of your application who are turned off by what they see as contrived or cutesy. Also, choose a font that's easily readable: nothing smaller than 10 pt.
Step 2: Arrange your achievements in a workable format. You can decide what categories you would like to use based on your field and the typical set-up that applicants or professionals tend to prefer. Typically, the main categories you would include are contact information, education, employment, and honors and awards. As a p.s., when you include your contact information, make sure your email address is professional, so use either a variant of your name or a school-issued email. "email@example.com" does not convey a professional image. Whether you include interests, skills, or objectives depends on the purpose of the document (these are rarely in CV'S). These categories will vary depending on whether you're in the academic or business world. Check here for great guidelines that people in academia can use.
Step 3: Verify the information with your records. Our memory is notoriously fallible, so if you want be sure you neither miss something important nor take credit for something you didn't do, go back through your previous files, documents, and calendars. Validate your actual grades (i.e. your GPA) with the GPA that is stated on your transcript. The same rule applies to any awards, certificates, or other distinctions you've earned. If you are providing dates of service in an organization or activity, make sure you are recording accurately the number of months or years.
Step 4: Consult with potential referees.
Step 4: Consult with potential referees.Before listing an employer, teacher, professor, advisor, or supervisor, make sure that you have that individual's permission. An added benefit of doing this is that you can also get feedback from that person on your document, especially if this someone who was a close mentor to you. You may even ask that person if you could borrow his or her CV or resume as a model to use for yourself.
Step 5: Moving forward, keep your CV or resume up to date. The best way to ensure that you are ready to take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way is to add to your document whenever anything changes. Going through your calendar is a great way to make sure that the material stays current.
To ensure that you have the material instantly at your fingertips, no matter where you physically are, store your document on a "cloud." Google Docs is excellent but not as good as Dropbox, which allows you to upload your cloud file with the file you store on your computer. Whenever you link back up to the Internet, your file will automatically link up too. An added benefit is that you will always have access to previous (even deleted) version. Dropbox had security issues at one point, but these are fixed, and the problem is no worse than what would happen if you left the flash drive containing your cherished documents on a bus seat. As an added note, save your file as a PDF so that when it's downloaded, it will print the way you want it to and not be subject to the vagaries of different computers or printers. Before you go public, though, proofread everything both online and on the printed document.
In short, having a great CV or resume ready to go at any time is a major asset when it comes to seeking any new position or promotion. When you see an opportunity, you will be able to grab it without having to produce a rushed and hence, unprofessional, document.
Good luck and may you have a long and productive CV!

As a former Bee County resident, born and raised, I enjoy keeping up with the Bee-Pic, online or through family and friends. These last few months in the letters to the editor, it has disturbed me more and more to see some of the biased rambling that goes on against our current president of the United States.
Some of the ignorance and naivete of these Fox News worshippers is astounding to me! If people would take the time and effort to read a book or study up on numbers (and maybe look past race), they would judge President Obama with a fair mind and clear view. Because whether you believe it or not, his plans do favor the working class.
Throughout the campaign last year and these last five months of his presidency, Mr. Obama has had everything from his patriotism to his religion questioned and re-questioned. These arguments are baseless and frankly, worn out already!
Personally, I question the patriotism of a certain governor who cries "secession" when he thinks that rich oil company pals may actually have to pay their fair share of taxes. To me, President Obama shows his patriotism by not sending our troops into harm's way to a country irrelevant to the war on terror for his own personal gain.
As for the question of his religion, that is a moot point (and for those people who say otherwise, he took both oaths of office to the Senate and Presidency on the Holy Bible, not the Koran). Even if he was a Muslim, so what? For all those who spit out the word Muslim or Islam as if it were a dirty word, then I suggest they visit Arlington National Cemetery sometime, to visit the graves of fallen troops they claim to support. Many of the grave markers bear the symbols of all types of religions, including Islam. Yes, these troops have practiced the Muslim faith and shed their blood for their country as well.
For the last eight years, our country's values and standards were blatantly disregarded by those in charge, for their own personal interests. Yet many said we should support our president in all his decisions. These same people should now heed their own words!
The bottom line is, no one's guns have been taken away, no one is being crushed by massive taxes, there are not any massive influxes in the number of abortions across the country and as far as I know, Christian churches are not being forced to convert to Islam. So maybe these expectations are all in vain?
It was once predicted that George Bush was to be an intelligent, friendly president who would look out for the middle-class working folks and bridge gaps with other countries. Like I said, sometimes expectations are all in vain.
So when President Obama sends our troops in the opposite direction of where Al-Qaeda is hiding, ignores a major American city that has been drowned by a hurricane, takes more than 300 days of vacation while in office, squanders a surplus of taxpayer cash for tax cuts on the rich while millions go without health insurance or reads a book about a duck for seven minutes after he is informed our country is under attack, then I could understand the animosity and hatred toward him. Till then, maybe he deserves the same benefit of doubt Bush enjoyed for years.

A case of cutaneous myoepithelioma is reported. The tumor was composed of spindle-shaped, epithelioid, and plasmacytoid (hyaline) cells. It exhibited a widespread immunoreactivity for low molecular weight keratins and protein S-100, being irregularly positive for smooth muscle actin. Ultrastructural studies of tumor cells showed a variable content of intermediate filaments, with focal densities resembling smooth muscle dense bodies. A well-developed basal lamina, pinocytotic vesicles, and some desmosomes were also observed. In spite of being accepted as an individual entity, myoepitheliomas probably belong to a family of lesions that include mixed tumors. Therefore, this case can be considered as a salivary-gland-type tumor, probably originating from myoepithelial cells of sweat glands. The existence of this unique neoplasm provides further support to the debated role of myoepithelial cells in the development of mixed tumors.

With filming coming up any day now Summit and Chris Weitz are getting busy trying to find the perfect actors to play the characters we know and love. For the most part everybody we loved so dearly from the first movie is staying on but there is many more new parts to fill.
Well, over the past couple of days many eager people have been waiting in line to see if they have a chance to be in New Moon, so many in fact that hundreds were turned away at the door because they didn't all fit. A casting assistant was quoted as saying that they didn't expect such a big turn out. Many people were upset about not even getting the chance to audition but not everyone can get a role.
I am so excited to see who makes it in and how casting turns out for the next Twilight movie.
I will keep you posted how it all turns out!!

|Milling a counterbore or
doing other circle cutting using an end mill or similar tool can be a powerful
and creative machining process. Most times replacing the need for a reamer,
boring bar or other sizing tool. This type of cutting, when combined with
cutter compensation gives the operator much more flexibility in adjusting
the size of the finished hole.
However, the main drawback is usually created using simple programs and is usually found at the entry and exit points where a small tool mark can be created due to the tool pressure caused at the entry of the cut. With a little creative programming technique and some simple calculations, a much more efficient and "professional" program can be created.
In this article, we're going to take you step by step through a program creation to mill a circle using the "loop in - loop out" method which takes the cutter from the center into the side of the hole using an arc move - then cuts completely around the hole - then loops back to the center using another arc move. This type of cutting gives a real nice finish in the hole, helps maintain size a little better and leaves no tool mark at entry or exit points.
In our training example, finish milling an inside round pocket using G02 or G03, a cutter mark will remain from tool pressure at the entrance and exit point of the arc. In order to create a smooth entrance and exit, some "tricky" machining technique must be employed because most machines do not have a "canned cycle" for the type of cutting explained here. Although this employs nothing more than simple G02 or G03 commands, the manner in which the codes are used and the type of process that results, makes efficient use of the simple codes and makes a more attractive and accurate work piece.
The objective with the example below is to create a smooth transition into and out of the cut. In the example below, we are attempting to machine a 2 in. radius circle with a 1 in. radius cutter.
In STEP #1, we calculate the arc needed to move the cutter from the center of the pocket to the finish wall edge. In the example below, we use the following formula :
2.00 (pocket radius) - 1.00 (cutter radius) = 1.00
This is the distance needed to move from the pocket center to the wall edge, allowing for the cutter radius.
1.00 / 2 = .500
Next divide the total distance in half to obtain the radius needed to swing an arc from the center to the outer edge as calculated above.
Cutter Compensation Note :
Some controls will allow for the activation of CUTTER COMPENSATION on the example program block #1. In that case, you can calculate the same as above but do not compensate for the cutter radius, instead call the cutter compensation G Code and compensation offset number on the program block. In our example, the program block would be :
In this block, we are using G42 (cutter compensation right) and storing the radius of the cutter in offset #12. Using cutter comp as above will allow for the easy adjustment of the pocket size by adjusting the value in offset #12. Don't forget to cancel the cutter comp with G40 after the tools cutting is complete.
Creating a "CYCLE" :
Using a simple combination of sub-programming, you can take the example above a step further and create a simple Z axis step-down cycle resulting in the roughing of the above example with little effort.
In the program example below, we are taking the circle cutting routine created above and storing it in a sub program. The main program will step the Z axis down - call the sub-program to machine the hole at that depth, then return to the main program which will in turn move the Z axis to another depth and start the process again. This "cycle" repeats until the total depth is achieved.
Main Program :
{ start and position the
tool to the hole center as normal }
Sub Program :
How can you put the Z axis
move in the sub-program as well ?

General Motors is expected to apply for a return to the stock market next month, enabling the American Government to sell its majority holding in the company that it bailed out with $50 billion last year.
The timing of GM's listing suggests that the carmaker may go public before the mid-term elections in November.
A listing for GM, which shed its colossal debt and killed off several ailing brands after restructuring in bankruptcy last year, could raise up to $20 billion and would be the biggest American stock offering since Visa raised $19.7 billion in March 2008.
The move comes
