Nobody's going to find any eggs if you don't buy them first.
You may scoff at the rampant consumerism that has enveloped every wholesome holiday, you may say you don't much care for milk chocolate, you may even say you're not afraid of man in a giant bunny costume. But when the day comes, you know these things aren't true and Easter must be embraced with all the candy, joy and fear that come with it.
With that in mind, it's time to consider your Easter baskets and assorted greetings to hand out to family and friends. Often, people go with standards such as super high sugar marshmallow ducks and bunnies, or a two-pound bunny's head made of milk chocolate. You might, however, want to consider some of our cookie packages; something nice paired with a glass of milk or cup of coffee.
Hold the sugar
We hate to spoil a party, but how much spun sugar, chocolate, marshmallow and hard candy can a body consume? If you are packing a basket yourself and notice enough sweets for seven days worth of calories for a grown adult, around 14,000, then perhaps it's time to bulk up your basket with some fresh fruit. And what's wrong with a whole carrot or two? After all, the secular representative of this holiday is a bunny. If that's too health conscious, maybe raisins or some dried apricots. Your Easter gift basket doesn't have to be a tummy ache waiting to happen. Just a thought.
And why not something for the adults?
Very often, Easter's lighter side is displayed for the kids. Vibrant eggs, that plastic grass in the baskets, subpar chocolate, the kind of things kids flip for in their Easter gift baskets. This year, when you're thinking about whether to go with a ham or a rib roast, whichever way you go, go for a premium selection of Ghirardelli chocolates or some fresh fruit covered in good chocolate. Keep it hidden, just like the eggs, but don't tell anyone who's not involved in preparing the meal or washing grass stains off of whites.

Instead of a typical "Year in Review" post or series, I was planning on doing a quick post on the "Best wins" of 2010 for the Bucs. As I tried to go through them all and pick a few out to feature, however, I found it difficult to narrow 57 wins down to 10 or so (I enjoy EVERY victory), and since 57 is about as low a number of wins in a season as you'll ever see…I figured "what the heck, I'll just do a post about them all."
To avoid an extremely long post that you certainly wouldn't want to read all at once, I'm doing this in a separate installment for each month. Here is April's.
Opening Day: Pirates 11, Dodgers 5:
Four opening day wins in a row for the Bucs. Zach Duke bounced back from a 2-run first, Garrett Jones homered in his first two at-bats, and the Pirates cruised to a fun win in front of a sellout crowd at PNC Park. How good was it? Ryan Church had arguably the biggest hit of the game – a pinch hit bases loaded double that broke the game open.
April 7: Pirates 4, Dodgers 3:
Another awesome win. This was a fantastic weekend
Paul Maholm pitched well again, while Bronson Arroyo and the Reds' defense fell apart in the middle innings. That combination made for a rare Pirates sweep, and put the season record at 7-5 (two games over .500!!!). That was the best mark they would have at any point all year.
April 27: Pirates7, Brewers 3:
At long, long last, the 22 game losing streak in Milwaukee came to an end. This one also felt good coming off the heels of 17-3 and 20-0 beatings at the hand of the evil Brewers earlier in the week. It was dramatic, too. Ronny Cedeno hit a game-tying homer off Trevor Hoffman in the ninth, and Ryan Doumit followed that up with a grand slam to FINALLY Raise the Jolly Roger at Miller Park.
April 28: Pirates 6, Brewers 5:
A SERIES win at Miller Park! Doumit torched Hoffman with a big ninth inning homer again, and essentially knocked him from the closer's job in Milwaukee. After Ryan's pinch-hit bomb to tie the game, this one went to extras. Cutch homered in the 10th, but Dotel blew the save and the game continued. Andy LaRoche (who was red-hot at the time) was ejected for slamming his bat to the ground. Lastings Milledge gunned down the would-be game winning run in the 13th. GFJ doubled home Aki in the 14th to put the Pirates ahead for good, and D.J. Carrasco picked up a much deserved win with three great innings of work in extras.
April 29: Pirates 2, Dodgers 0:
Brian Burres danced through raindrops to pitch 5.1 scoreless innings, Jack Taschner was impressive in relief, and Evan Meek picked up career save numero uno in impressive fashion. All that made a 2-0 lead (giftwrapped by a Matt Kemp misplay in the first inning) stand up for an unexpected Pirates victory in Los Angeles.

NEW YORK (CBSDC/AP) — P.F. Chang's is confirming that data from credit and debit cards used at its restaurants was stolen.
The company says it learned about the security breach on Tuesday from the U.S. Secret Service and began investigating the breach with the agency and a team of forensics experts. It found that credit card and debit cards were exposed, but it doesn't know yet when it started happening and which stores were affected.
The company didn't say how many cards were affected.
It is now using manual credit card imprinting devices at all its P.F. Chang's restaurants to process card payments while the investigation continues.
Scottsdale, Arizona-based P.F. Chang's China Bistro Inc. owns its namesake restaurants and Pei Wei Asian Diners. There are more than a dozen P.F. Chang's restaurants in the Baltimore and Washington region and 209 nationwide.

Tennessee is facing a game that many are calling a must win.
It's hard to argue the point, considering the two games following Mississippi State are against No. 1 Alabama and No. 3 South Carolina.
Saturday's game is an opportunity for the Vols to get their first win against a ranked opponent under head coach Derek Dooley.
Tennessee has shown the potential to win games and are poised to turn around the program. A victory in Starkville would go a long way in helping the Vols return to SEC prominence.
There are several factors that the Vols will need to address to have an opportunity to win this game.
Coming off their bye week, this is a good opportunity for Tennessee. If they are able to correct some of the mistakes that have plagued them, the Vols will have a chance for a victory.
If issues haven't been corrected, it may be a long day for the orange clad faithful.

MEZEREON Overview Information
Mezereon is a shrub. Historically, its bark was used to make medicine. But mezereon is seldom used medicinally these days due to serious safety concerns and because it is a protected plant species.
Mezereon is taken by mouth to relieve headache and toothache pain.
It is sometimes applied directly to joints to relieve pain and increase blood circulation.
How does it work?
Mezereon might stimulate the skin.
MEZEREON Uses & Effectiveness
Insufficient Evidence for:
- Headaches.
- Toothaches.
- Joint pain, when applied to the skin.
- Increasing circulation, when applied to the skin.
- Other conditions.
MEZEREON Side Effects & Safety
Mezereon is UNSAFE when taken by mouth. It can cause many serious side effects including redness and swelling of the mouth, upset of the digestive tract, blood in the urine, hallucinations, increased heart rate, spasms, and death.
Mezereon might also be UNSAFE when applied directly to the skin. Skin contact with mezereon can cause red, painful swelling of the skin, blisters, and permanent skin damage (necrosis). Contact with the eyes can cause severe eye swelling and irritation.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: It is UNSAFE to take mezereon by mouth or apply it to your skin if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Avoid use.
MEZEREON Dosing
The appropriate dose of mezereon depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for mezereon. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.

How could you get your boyfriend or husband to willingly do all the housework chores and even enjoy it whilst feeling grateful towards you? For most women in relationships, this will seem like a dream far removed from reality. But not so for those who have a cross dressing boyfriend. I've often written how much fun and excitement it brings having a man who doesn't mind being the girl in the house but here I want to talk about a very practical reason to have a crossdresser around: You get a free house maid!
This is one of the most popular crossdressing outfits. Usually they wear French maid costumes with the appropriate accessories. An important part of dressing up as a maid are the inherent duties of a maid. Those who really like to get into these fun games also often want to perform the tasks that a house maid normally has. I love this aspect. It takes cross dressing a whole step further and you can watch him immerse himself in the role, live it and perform it. Along with this comes a sense of obedience on his part as a maid will be taking instructions from, guess whom, you! In his maid outfit, he'll actually WANT you to give him orders and tell him to clean up and wash dishes. He will get a kick out of it and so will you.
The sissy maid look is a little different from the traditional maid uniform. The idea is to look like a pretty decorated little doll and function comes second. Hence the word 'sissy'. The color of the dress is nearly always black but I've seen pink ones too. With it come various lace decorations and quite often a pretty white petticoat. The apron is the most telling part of the maid costumes and it comes in various sizes. In the sissy version of the outfit, the apron is usually very small and more like a decoration than anything else.
Because of all the pretty decorations and petticoats, it can become difficult at times to perform some of the heavier duties while keeping the dress in good condition. You either have to be very careful or have several different outfits for the various tasks at hand. In time, you'll know how to dress properly
The skirt is usually very short, about the length of a miniskirt and the petticoat is of course matching in length. This short skirt is not only so because it's more functional for working but also because it invites you to take a peek. At least that's the way I interpret it ;). What a coincidence that lots of housework requires you to bend over^^.
The best places to buy these costumes are probably cross dressing stores. The real maid uniforms are not as much fun and not as cute not to mention the fact that they'll probably not have men's sizes in women's clothes shops. Also, the cross dressing stores will have the matching petticoat and other accessories to make your outfit look perfect. Of course, the maid outfit isn't all you need though. You'll need a big fluffy duster since you'll be doing a lot of dusting. You may as well get used to holding it gracefully in your hands because it's going to be something you'll use a lot while you do the housework.
If he already is a cross dresser, then this should be quite easy and he might have already suggested it to you with ideas like sissification or forced feminization. If you want to have some fun, you could just make him do it for a day and see how he responds. I know it can feel strange to give orders like some kind of tyrant but there are some amazing side effects.
For example, for some strange reason, once you get a man to do what you say for a while, you'll start noticing that other men in every day life also seem to become more submissive. It must be some kind of confidence that you start signalling. I don't know if anyone else has noticed this but it is interesting.
If your boyfriend isn't a cross dresser then it might be more of a challenge to get him into this. I already wrote an article on getting feminized where I give tips on how to introduce crossdressing to your boyfriend. But this particular costume might offer you some other opportunities. You could make it part of a bet. For example, if you win, he has to do all the housework for one week. And then you can raise the stakes to: if you win, he has to do it all wearing a maid costume. Then see how he reacts and tell him how you feel about him being your girly maid and take it from there.
In my experience, it is best to keep it a separate character that he can come out of when he's done. I wouldn't want my boyfriend to be nothing other than a maid and I don't think it would be healthy for a man (or a woman for that matter) to be stuck in such a narrow character.
I can assure you, volunteering to do all the housework for her will most definitely get her attention. If she already knows about your crossdressing side and enjoys it then you won't have any problem.
If she knows about your crossdressing and doesn't appreciate it, then this might be a great opportunity to give her a very good reason to like it. If say 3 out of 10 women are ok with their partner's crossdressing, then I bet it will rise to about 9 out of 10 when accompanied by the benefit of having all your household chores done.
If you haven't told her about your crossdressing yet, then you should do so soon. You could mention this idea to her, by telling her that you heard about a guy who did all the chores for his partner while dressed as a very feminine maid. Then see what her reaction is. For more on this check out my article on telling your girlfriend that you cross dress.

In general, the radius of convergence for the series is (why?). Now, substitute .
I just need to verify my answer to the following problem
Use the General Bionomial Theorem to determine first four terms of the Taylor series at 0 for the function
f(x) = (1-2x)^-1/3
I have
By the General Bionomial Theorem
( n ) x^n, for |x|<1
( n ) = (-1/3)(-4/3)(-7/3)....(-1/3-n=1) / n!
= 1 + (-1/3)/1 -2x + (-1/3)(-4/3)/2! -2x^2 + (-1/3)(-4/3)(-7/3)/3! -2x^3 .....
= 1+ 2/3x - 4/9x^2 + 28/81x^3 ........
I also need to state the radius of convergence of this power series.
can anyone help?
taylor (1-2x)^-1/3 at x=0 - Wolfram|Alpha
If you're referring to post #3, then what it means is that you were shown what the answer is so that you can see whether your answer is correct (and if you're answer is not correct, then you can see what term is wrong and go back to your working and look for the mistake(s)).
If you're referring to post #2, then you need to be much more specific with what you don't understand.

Q: The man I've been dating just told me that he's HIV-positive. We haven't had sex yet, and even though I've heard that you can have sex with someone who has HIV and not catch it, I'm terrified. What exactly do we need to do to be as safe as possible?
A: The only foolproof method of protecting yourself from any STD is abstinence. However, safer sex practices can help lessen your chances of contracting HIV or other STDs.
Use a condom every time you have intercourse with your partner, including oral sex. When he performs oral sex on you, use a dental dam or plastic wrap to prevent the exchange of fluids, and use a condom when performing oral sex on him. (Kissing someone with HIV is safe, but if one or both of you has an oral sore, you should abstain from kissing until it heals.) Remember, all it takes is one incident of unprotected sex, so use protection every single time you are intimate.

Kevin Grandia | June 2, 2008
By Kevin Grandia • Monday, June 2, 2008 - 11:13
We have received a lot of emails asking our thoughts on the so-called "Carbon Belch Day" being pushed by a right-wing grassroots organizer named Steve Elliot and his website Grassfire.
Normally we try not to stray too far into the left vs. right side of the global warming argument, however in this case it is hard to ignore. To say Elliot is "right-wing" is an understatement - according to his bio, Elliot "has rallied citizens on a host of grassroots issues, including border security, tax reform, abortion, traditional marriage, supporting our troops, exposing media bias and defending the Pledge of Allegiance."
It's also hard to ignore the irony in Elliot's call for people to do "[their] best to increase [their] CO2 output and unleash a Carbon Belch on the planet." Elliot claims that people can "do this with no fear or concern that [they are] destroying the planet."
The irony lies in the fact that whether Elliot believes the world's leading scientists at the top institutions in the world that the climate is warming due to our overuse of carbon intensive fossil fuels like coal and oil or not, he is advocating against one of the sacred cows of the right-wing idealogy: America's movement away from over reliance on foreign energy imports.
Urging Americans (the largest per-capita consumer of energy on the planet) to needlessly waste more energy ensures the continued reliance on oil imports from the Middle East. Not even the most stalwart Republican or neo-conservative will agree that this is a good thing.
An effort such as Elliot's is sure to be seen by most as an Anne Coulter style publicity-through-shock stunt, and by some as a funny way to stick it to Al Gore and those stuffy left wing liberals. But the bottom line is that Elliot's "Carbon Belch Day" flies right in the face of what most people believe regardless of their ideology.
If Elliot is aiming for far-right fringe status then Carbon Belch Day looks to be his best bet.
Besides ideological motivations, there is also the question of where Grassfire gets its money - we've sent an email to Mr. Elliot, and we'll let you know what he has to say.
When Stupidity Gets Stupider
This idea is so juvenile it belongs on Sesame Street. My favorite quote from Elliott: "in fact, since energy is the lifeblood of our economy, a healthy carbon belch just might do some good!"
Skeptics have already brainwashed children in that bizarre WorldNet Daily contest, and now this – hmmm…what could possibly be next?

Keep up the great work Kevin!

Somehow my newspaper got on Grassfire's e-mail list. Took multiple requests to get off. Elliot is too nutbar to even be worth monitoring.

Hey nhoward.
In terms of Q5,Q6,Q7 you need to find the values which the inequalities have in common.
We know that sin(x) is > 0 when x is in [0,pi] and < 0 when x is in (pi,2pi). cos(x) is > 0 when x is [0,pi) and (3*pi/2,2pi]
With regards to trigonometric functions do you have to find a value for theta or is it something else? The reason I ask is because they give values for r which implies that you need to use that to find something.

County government reaches out to perspective sewer customers
- Details
- Last Updated on Tuesday, 26 June 2012 22:07
- Published on Tuesday, 26 June 2012 22:07
- Hits: 1373
Land owners from Glebe Harbor to Tidwells and Drum Bay received a mailing from the county government detailing the sewage collection system that is on its way to those residential neighborhoods.
Prospective sewer customers have until July 27 to purchase connections at the introductory price of $3,000.
"Westmoreland County has been awarded a low interest loan from Rural Utilities Service to construct a wastewater collection system for the Glebe Harbor, Tidwells, Drum Bay Sewer Project," the June 15 correspondence states.
"The Rural Utilities Service requires 80% of the existing customers within the service area to sign a Wastewater Users Agreement for the county to receive the low interest loan."
The mailing includes the set of "frequently asked questions" and associated answers included in the county government's June 2 presentation at Cople Elementary School and the crucially important user agreement and rejection of service documents. The user agreement would have to be returned with the attached $3,000 payment to connect no later than the previously noted July 27 deadline. Anyone wishing to decline utilization of the collection system must complete the service declination statement included in the packet and return that document to the county government no later than July 27.
When accepting the service with the purchase of one or more connections, the prospective user agrees to convey the necessary perpetual easement(s) to the county government and its successors. The county then holds the "right to erect, construct, install and lay, and thereafter use, operate, inspect, repair, maintain, replace and remove pipelines and appurtenant facilities, together with the right to utilize adjoining lands belonging to the Customer for the purpose of ingress to and egress from the above described lands," the agreement document relates.
"The Customer also agrees to be fully responsible for the service line from the home to the grinder pump system as well as connecting the grinder pump station to the existing electrical service.
"The customer agrees to comply with and be bound by the Utility Service Regulations and Standards of the County, now in force or as hereafter duly and legally supplemented, amended, or changed. The Customer also agrees to pay for said service at such rates, time, and place as shall be determined by the County, and agrees to the imposition of such penalties for noncompliance as are now set out in the county's Utility Service Regulations and Standards, or which may be hereafter adopted and imposed by the County."
When the collection service becomes available, the customer "shall be responsible for payment of monthly charges, even if the customer has not connected service to the completed and available County facilities." The initial monthly charge is $42.00 per month. When the customer "disconnect(s) from the existing sewage disposal system and connect(s) to the county's sewage system, rainwater disposal, drainage systems and/or sump pumps shall not be connected to the County's sewage system.
"The failure of a customer to pay charges duly imposed shall result in the automatic imposition of the following penalties: "Nonpayment within ten days from the due date will be subject to a penalty of ten percent of the delinquent account. "Nonpayment within thirty days from the due date will result in the discontinuance of service to the Customer's property. "In the event it becomes necessary for the county to discontinue service to a Customer's property, a fee by the County in its rate schedule will be charged for a reconnection of the service."
In other words, if the county disconnects a tap due to a customer's failure to pay the monthly fee, and new connection must be purchased at a cost higher than the discounted introductory offer of $3,000 that is effective only until July 27, 2012. The cost of a non-discounted sewer connection in Westmoreland County is currently $4,800.
Sewer users are required to destroy their existing private septic thank and drainfield accommodations. In the event that a Customer is disconnected from the collection system as a result of failure to pay the monthly service fee, there will be no possibility of returning to the previously used private septic system infrastructure.
Customers will construct lines at their own expense to reach the public collection system mains. Prospective customers are being advised that they will need to provide their own generators to run the individual grinder pumps the county will install on the property of each collection system customer. Generators will be needed to power the grinder pumps in the event of electrical power outages.
The user agreement includes a provision requiring the customer "to hold the County harmless for any interruptions in service."
"The County will not be responsible," the document then states, "for any damages to the customer by virtue of the county's failure to supply service (compensatory or punitive).
"Upon default by the Customer in any of the provisions of this agreement and/or should the county bring any enforcement action in accordance with the terms hereof against the Customer, that Customer agrees to pay all charges of enforcement, including, but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorney's fees."
The user agreement will be moot if the county government fails to recruit at least 450 sewer project customers, a threshold that equates with the previously referenced 80 percent participation standard imposed by the federal government financing agency. The county government would advise the federal authorities that the project failed as the result of insufficient interest.
County government officials maintain that failure of the Glebe Harbor, Tidwells and Drum Bay sewer project is unlikely, that participation in other county sewer projects exceeded the 80 percent threshold established by Rural Utilities Service. Local officials expect the project to be completed as quickly as Spring 2014.
Efforts to launch a subsequent wastewater collection project in the Cabin Point and King Copsico subdivisions and portions of Bushfield and Mount Holly Road were announced earlier this month.

Cheesy Potatoes and Onions for the Grill
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 40 mins
You can make these in a large heavy disposable foil pan or wrapped in heavy-duty foil and can also be cooked in the oven, you may adjust the amount of cheeses to taste
Ingredients Nutrition
- 6 medium potatoes (thinly sliced)
- 1 -2 medium onion, sliced
- 1⁄4 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1⁄3-1⁄2 cup butter (cut into small cubes)
- 1⁄2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1⁄2 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 -2 teaspoon dried parsley (or use 1-2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper (or to taste)
- 1⁄2-1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄3 cup canned chicken broth
- Prepare a 20 x 20-inch piece of heavy-duty foil or a 13 x 9-inch disposable foil pan (I prefer to make these in a pan).
- Generously spray the inside of the foil or pan with cooking spray.
- Toss the potatoes with sliced onions and Parmesan cheese (if using) then place on top and in the middle part of the foil, or place into the foil pan.
- Sprinkle the butter cubes over the potatoes.
- In a bowl combine cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, black pepper and garlic powder; sprinkle over the potatoes and onions.
- Slightly wrap up the ends of the foil then drizzle the broth over the top of the mixture.
- Seal up the foil completely.
- Make one or two very small pin-holes in the top of the foil to allow heat to escape (or cover the foil pan tightly with a sheet of foil, then make a small hole/s in the top of the foil).
- Place the foil packet or foil pan on the grill, cover with the grilling lid and cook for about 40 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Most Helpful
I was in a hurry, I did not wrap the recipe, but I mixed everything together except of onion and mozzarella that I used for the topping.
I programmed the oven to be ready and the right time and....WOW was really delicious! Thanks!
I didn't really use this 'recipe' exactly but I used the ingredients to 'wing' our own batch of potatoes for dinner tonight. They turned out great and I know I'll be looking back to this recipe the next time we're grilling potatoes!
Love, love, love these savory potatoes! I could have easily fed 8 people with this recipe, it made so much. I had never tried Worcestershire in my potatoes, but you can bet I'll be doing that again! Made these in a foil packet and didn't have any trouble with sticking or burning. Winner!

Saint Thomas Becket, Sin and Contrition
Today is the feast day of my confirmation saint, Saint Thomas Becket, the holy, blessed martyr. His story tells us how foreign to our time the Middle Ages are. Becket was a worldly cleric who had risen to be chancellor of England for Henry II. Henry seized the opportunity to place his man, Becket, on the throne of Canterbury as Primate of England. Becket had a sudden and complete religious conversion and fought Henry for the liberty of the Church for which Becket suffered exile and, ultimately, murder. In penance for Becket's murder Henry had himself beaten by the monks at Canterbury before the tomb of his former friend who, two years after his death, was canonized by the Pope. For over three centuries his tomb became one of the major pilgrimage sites in Europe and inspired the immortal Canterbury Tales.
The Middle Ages were fully as immersed in sin as our own time, although with different mixtures of evil, but the sins of the Middle Ages were often followed by great penances and acts of contrition that brightened and inspired countless lives down through the centuries. This we have lost and this we must regain. G.K. Chesterton put what we lack in high relief when he wrote about Saint Thomas:
At the grave of the dead man broke forth what can only be called an epidemic of healing. For miracles so narrated there is the same evidence as for half of the facts of history; and any one denying them must deny them upon a dogma. But something followed which would seem to modern civilization even more monstrous than a miracle. If the reader can imagine Mr. Cecil Rhodes submitting to be horsewhipped by a Boer in St. Paul's Cathedral, as an apology for some indefensible death incidental to the Jameson Raid, he will form but a faint idea of what was meant when Henry II was beaten by monks at the tomb of his vassal and enemy. The modern parallel called up is comic, but the truth is that mediaeval actualities have a violence that does seem comic to our conventions. The Catholics of that age were driven by two dominant thoughts: the all-importance of penitence as an answer to sin, and the all-importance of vivid and evident external acts as a proof of penitence. Extravagant humiliation after extravagant pride for them restored the balance of sanity. The point is worth stressing, because without it moderns make neither head nor tail of the period. Green gravely suggests, for instance, of Henry's ancestor Fulk of Anjou, that his tyrannies and frauds were further blackened by "low superstition," which led him to be dragged in a halter round a shrine, scourged and screaming for the mercy of God. Mediaevals would simply have said that such a man might well scream for it, but his scream was the only logical comment he could make. But they would have quite refused to see why the scream should be added to the sins and not subtracted from them. They would have thought it simply muddle-headed to have the same horror at a man being horribly sinful and for being horribly sorry.
Bishop Stephen Gardiner who helped Henry VIII destroy the Catholic Church in England so long under the protection of Saint Thomas Becket, Henry plundering and destroying the tomb of Saint Thomas as a symbol of the Catholicism he hated, later repented and sought to restore the Catholic Church in England under Queen Mary. He died before Queen Mary and therefore he did not live to see the failure of the attempted restoration as a result of Mary's death and the accession of Bloody Elizabeth. As he lay dying he purportedly said something in his grief that I think gets at the heart of what sickens the modern world: Erravi cum Petro, sed non flevi cum Petro. (Like Peter I have erred, unlike Peter I have not wept.) Sin remains sin, no matter what the world in its folly calls it. Sin without repentance leads to damnation in eternity and endless evil in this world, something the Middle Ages knew well and our Modern World has almost completely forgotten.
4 Responses to Saint Thomas Becket, Sin and Contrition
St Thomas's cultus was by no means confined to England.
There are churches dedicated to him in Normandy (as one would expect) and in the Pas de Calais, but also in Sicily, where there was a strong Norman presence. The Duomo of Masala, where the wine comes from, is dedicated to him. The present Baroque church replaces a 12th century Norman one. I never eat zabaglione or tiramisu, which I do rather often, but I think of it.
The thing to do was owning up… ? Not pointing fingers?
Yes, very different to our 21 century minds.
Once a person, a Community, Country or a Nation has lost the sense of sin and, therefore, sees no need for repentance, convesion and reparation they then deliberately chose the road to Eternal Damnation. Let us never cease to pray for the sinners, especially the hardened sinners for whom Jesus dictated to Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska the Divine Mercy Chaplet. He also stated that this Chaplet should be prayed at the bedside of the dying so that they can be touched by His Grace and repent at that very, very final moment of their lives.
How I wish in this Year of Faith the children of the Church would adopt this Prayer for the sinful Civil Leaders – and those who embrace their actions and who do not even accept they have done any wrong with their anti-God policies, Laws and disordered lifestyles.
"For the sake of His Sorrowful Passion, have Mercy on us and on the whole world"

For release: Thursday, June 26, 2008
The abnormal protein found in Huntington's disease (HD) leads to an unusually large amount of nerve signaling early in the disease process, before other problems appear, a new study shows. Partially blocking these nerve signals prevents neuron death and loss of motor function in fruit flies models of HD. The findings suggest possible new ways of delaying the onset or slowing the progression of the disease.
Since the gene mutation that causes HD was identified in 1993, researchers have been trying to learn how it triggers the disease. HD affects an estimated 30,000 people in the United States and causes symptoms such as loss of coordination and balance, uncontrolled movements, muscular contractions, mood changes, and memory problems. There is currently no treatment that can stop the progression of the disorder.
"We need to look for alternative approaches to treat incurable diseases," says Juan Botas, Ph.D., of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, who led the new study. Dr. Botas and his colleagues decided to investigate how the abnormal, expanded version of the gene that causes HD affects neural function in fruit flies in order to learn more about how the disease develops and how it might be treated. The study was funded in part by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and appears in the journal Neuron.[1]
Previous studies have shown that cells break the abnormal protein produced by the HD gene mutation into fragments. These fragments accumulate in clumps within neurons and disrupt cell function in a number of ways, including changing the function of synapses — the gaps between neurons where nerve signaling chemicals (neurotransmitters) are released. Other changes, including disruptions of gene activity and impaired functioning of nerve fibers and mitochondria (energy-producing structures within cells), also may affect nerve signaling in HD. However, whether the changes in nerve signaling are part of the cause of the disease or if they are a result has not been clear.
Most studies in models of HD have used animals that have only a fragment of the abnormal protein (called htt), instead of the whole protein. Such models do not have the same pattern of neurodegeneration as animals with the entire protein. To avoid this problem, Dr. Botas and his colleagues developed flies with the full-length abnormal protein for their study.
Flies with the full-length abnormal htt protein showed progressive loss of neurons and had shorter lifespans than other flies, the researchers found. The affected flies had an impaired ability to climb and fly. The study also showed that the abnormal protein triggered an unusually high transmission of nerve signals between neurons.
The researchers then developed flies that had the abnormal htt gene along with a partial loss of calcium channel genes or other genes needed for normal synaptic function. The absence of the channel genes reduced synaptic function and counteracted the excessive nerve signaling in the flies. As a result, the flies maintained normal amounts of nerve signaling, despite the presence of the abnormal htt protein. Moreover, they did not develop neuron loss or movement problems.
The abnormal nerve signaling developed in the flies before htt protein fragments accumulated in the cells' nuclei, Dr. Botas and his colleagues found. The fact that the aberrant nerve signaling develops at a very early stage in the disease process suggests that reducing this abnormal activity in people with the htt gene mutation might delay the onset of HD or slow progression of the disease. Researchers have found a number of drugs that reduce nerve signaling, including calcium channel blockers, which are widely used to treat high blood pressure in people.
Since the abnormal neurotransmission found in this study does not affect the accumulation of htt fragments in the cell, reducing the aberrant cell signaling is unlikely to completely cure HD. However, it might reduce or delay the effects of the disease, Dr. Botas says. "Neurons need a little help to fight toxic insults. Early on, neurons can cope with the problems, but later, they become overwhelmed," he says. Treatments that reduce overactive nerve signaling may give neurons the help they need to survive, at least for a while.
Abnormal calcium signaling in neurons has been implicated in a variety of other neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Therefore drugs that reduce calcium signaling might be useful not just in HD but also in other diseases, Dr. Botas says.
The researchers are now planning studies that will test calcium channel blockers and other drugs that reduce nerve signaling in animal models of HD. If the results of those studies are promising, the investigators hope to eventually begin studying the drugs in people who are at risk of the disease.

Colorado Appellate Courts to Outsource Appeals
by Dick Ott
A spokesman for the Colorado Supreme Court and the Colorado Court of Appeals announced today that Colorado's Appellate Courts will be outsourcing some of their more cumbersome appeals. The spokesman said that Colorado will be using state-of-the-art outsourcing criteria by sending some of the more technically complicated appeals to India and the Philippines, while family law and criminal appeals will go to undisclosed countries in the Middle East.
Cyrus Blackachre, a spokesman for the courts and Colorado State Judicial, described a crisis in the courts that includes a large and growing caseload that is causing Colorado's appellate courts to get further behind with every appeal filed. After years of budget cuts combined with increasingly complicated appeals, the appellate courts were faced with the prospect of either hiring more judges or finding a creative and cost-efficient manner of dealing with all appeals.
State Judicial has embarked on an exhaustive two-week Internet survey to determine which private firms should be used. "Finding overseas justices and judges who could read up on Colorado law was a surprisingly simple task," said Mr. Blackachre. "We found many who had already read every word of the Colorado Constitution and many of the relevant cases as a part of an online Colorado law curriculum offered by local law schools." Mr. Blackachre noted that there are only two or three lawyers and two state legislators in Colorado who have, in fact, read the Colorado Constitution. "At least one of the legislators can't be relied on to tell us what the Constitution really says, so it is good to get an outside opinion."
To test prospective appellate contractors, State Judicial sent several complex appeals to outsourcing appellate firms in India and the Philippines. Within days, rulings began to arrive back in State Judicial offices. "In each case, the decisions were properly formatted," said a pleasantly surprised clerk from the Court of Appeals who reviewed the decisions. All of the decisions were complete, had full and accurate citations, and were written in such clear and concise English that local reviewing justices and judges were stunned. "I haven't seen a paragraph make that much sense since I graduated from law school," said one surprised justice.
In a seminal water rights case, Colorado's justices were surprised to learn that Colorado's conflicts with Wyoming, Kansas, and Utah over water rights could be settled once and for all by forcing neighboring states to recognize Colorado's might, because it's geographic size and it's reputation for having more physically fit individuals per capita make it a formidable enemy. The cites for this interesting decision are under review.
The biggest problem thus far is with family law and criminal appeals. American family dynamics are a mystery to the foreign judges. Colorado divorce laws are remarkably difficult for them to understand, and judges coming from countries other than India were unaware that American family law jurisprudence does not involve stones. Unaccompanied American women driving cars also seemed to perplex some of the judges.
Similarly, all of the appellate writers had a very difficult time understanding what Colorado and U.S. Constitutional authorities mean by "Cruel and Unusual Punishment," because unusual punishments are considered both economical and efficient in the writers' home countries.
One of the overseas judges, Justice M.J.B. Maskedone, noted the discrepancy between the type of person who is jailed in Colorado and one jailed in his home country. He described the difference in attitude about jailing people by saying that Americans often had "to have actually done something annoying to the law, whereas in other places an annoying thought was enough to do it." Paradoxically, in this country one in every hundred individuals is presently in jail; far fewer are jailed elsewhere.
State Judicial believes these few quirks can be worked out over the weekend and that outsourced reviewers will be hired to ensure that the appeals comport with Colorado law.

Why Learn a new language ? Perhaps you have thought to yourself, is learning a new language really a good time investment? Is it worth the mental effort? I'd like to explain that it is simply not an option in today's world. Its also one of the most fulfilling things somebody can do is learn another language. Here's my reason why you have to get started today. Travel - Few memories compare to traveling a new country, and if you want great stores, you will want to visit some non English speaking countries. Learning languages such as spanish allows people to travel South America, probably one of the most exciting destinations out there. Mandarin of course gives the possibility to see and experience China. If you travel to a new place, you want to speak to the locals right? Career - The world is an increasingly international place, to be taken seriously you will need more than just English to communicate. If you have just graduated from university, taking on Spanish classes and putting a second language on your CV will give you the edge over the competition. Brain improvement - the challenge of a new language has been shown to improve brain function in many ways. Bilingua children do much better in school academically, but also gives people more options when they grow up. Much much more! There are plenty of online resources for learning spanish, but often being in a school environment can have the most positive effect. Fun! Yes, thats right. Learning a language is fun. I'm not saying its without is difficulties, frustrations and even embarrassments. Nobody like to outside their comfort zone. The satifisfation of making progress in a new language is really hard to compare. Walking into a shop in Spain and asking for something with cofindence and clarity is a great feeling. So whats stopping you? Its never to late to start studying, age is no limitation. Imagine, just half an hour study a day and you gain a valuable skill in your life. http://www.learnspanishcostarica.com/locations/heredia – IPED language school. Center for Applied Linguistics Has many resources to back this up. IPED language school in Heredia take a unqie approach to learning Spanish. It's complete language immersion in the Hereida, one the cultural hot spots of Costa Rica. Look at their Facebook page here, so see the wide range of activies that go in there. Also, the owers of the school are always giving tips on how to pick up the language faster on their Twitter. Find more infomation about IPED language school here. For an impartial review of how the language academy operates.

This could also help explain why bees infected with IAPV in Australia where the mite is absent do not show as dramatic changes in their behaviour, say scientists.
He points out that the varroa mite, which is prevalent in the US, weakens the immune system of bees, perhaps making them susceptible to IAPV.
Even a century later, had physicians made better use of their microscopes, they could hardly have overlooked such an easily found parasite as the itch mite, which is quite as easily detected as the cheese mite, pictured in Hooke's book.

Cheats and Walkthroughs
It's been a bumpy road for Diablo 3 so far in spite of its successful launch, and Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime took a moment today to address the game's fan community with a lengthy message posted on the Battle.net forums. He comments on roughly every chapter so far in the ongoing Diablo 3 story, from the post-launch issues with error messages to the rationale behind the real-money auction house to the planned changes in future updates.
There are a few noteworthy items of interest here. Morhaime mentions the upcoming patch v1.0.4, which will add "new and improved Legendary items" that he describes as "more interesting, more powerful, and more epic in ways you probably won't be expecting." Improvements to social interactions and the auction house are also promised for patch v1.1, as well as the recently teased plans for a more elaborate set of goals to reach for in the endgame.
Interestingly, Morhaime completely ignores the recent rash of bannings related to some players' use of Linux/Wine to run Diablo 3. Blizzard claims that the bannings all stem from verified incidents of cheating, but a sizable portion of the fan community (or a vocal one, at any rate) has stepped up to insist that Blizzard's testing process produces false positives.
Given how deeply Morhaime's post dives into the various post-launch talking points for Diablo 3, the absence of any discussion of the recent bannings is surprising. That absence also could be read as a message in and of itself: Blizzard's anti-cheating protocols are sacred, and the notification email sent out with each banning is, as it says, the final word on the matter.
The non-address of the issue in Morhaime's post is definitely at odds with the studio's "Every Voice Matters" philosophy that he lays out at the start. It'll be interesting to see how the community responds to that and the rest of Morhaime's statements in the coming days.

Retirement centers provide home where senior adults retain independence, purpose for lifecomment (0)
October 24, 2013
By Grace Thornton
Ava Kee didn't have many options. In fact, she really only had one.
She slept in her car.
Kee was in an abusive marriage and moved to a Christian women's shelter. But after a while, the shelter changed to a drug rehab center.
She wasn't on drugs, so she had to move out. Her car became her home.
Then someone told her about Knollwood Retirement Center in Roanoke.
"If it weren't for the love and compassion shown to me at Knollwood, I don't know where I'd be today," Kee said. "I felt worthless and believed God had abandoned me. But God heard my prayers and brought me to Knollwood, where I'm surrounded with loving kindness."
She's there by the grace of God, she said.
"And He didn't just give me a place to live — He gave me a home," Kee said. "I know that the gifts of many people help make my home possible."
'Safe and affordable'
Knollwood is one of four centers in three locations run by Alabama Baptist Retirement Centers (ABRC) that offer housing to residents 62 and up with rent based on their ability to pay.
"We provide a safe and affordable home in a loving Christian environment for many who need a place to live out their latter years without the stress and hardship of keeping up their home," said Charlotte Crane, ABRC director of financial services, noting that about half of ABRC's annual budget is funded through the Cooperative Program.
In addition to Knollwood, ABRC also offers senior adult housing at Eastview Retirement Center in Montgomery and Baptist Village Townhouses and Hutto Tower in Dothan.
ABRC also recently acquired property in Fairhope and plans to build more townhouses there, Crane said.
On campus, the centers exist "to assist senior adults in retaining their independence, security, health, dignity and purpose for life under God," she said.
Off campus, ABRC ministers to the elderly in other ways. They educate churches and associations on the needs of the elderly around them and help churches establish and build up ministries to retirement homes in their area.
And missions teams often visit the four centers to do Vacation Bible School (VBS) for the residents, as well as hold other programs. In June, for instance, a youth group from Columbia Baptist Association visited Hutto Tower to do a VBS with Bible study, singing and crafts.
"They also performed light duties that the residents may have needed to have done, such as hand out the lunches and take out their trash," said Marie Cook, manager of Hutto Tower. "We also had our Resident Appreciation Day, in which they (the youth) were very instrumental in it being a great success."
Hutto Tower is where Joyce Bigham lives.
Bigham's former home was a leaky trailer.
"On her limited income, she didn't have the money to make needed repairs and was literally getting rained on in her home," Crane said.
Someone referred Bigham to Hutto Tower, and she was amazed that she could live somewhere with all her utilities furnished at a price based on her income.
"With tears in her eyes, she said she praises the Lord daily for Hutto Tower and the kind and loving people who work there," Crane said.
And Bigham's story, Crane said, is just one of many.
"Thank you, Alabama Baptists, for your generous gifts through the Cooperative Program. Without you, none of this would be possible," she said. "We are eternally grateful."

Lights, sandwiches, action! On the morning of February 16, youth media coordinators and participants, along with their friends and family, gathered at Intermedia Arts in Minneapolis for the Twin Cities Youth Media Network (TCYMN) Annual Youth Media Market and Showcase event.
The event started off with the Youth Media Market event where representatives from regional college media programs, including Columbia College in Chicago, Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Augsburg College, the University of Minnesota School of Jounalism, and Minneapolis Community & Technical College, were available for youth to consult with about future plans. The event also featured interactive workshops in experimental sound design, courtesy of Twin Cities band, Beatrix Jar; Stop Motion Animation with John Akre and Beth Peloff; and Computer-Generated Imaging with David Buchanan. For youth who already had a portfolio of work under their belt, Twin Cities film producers Joanna Kohler and Maria Totozintle were standing by to review students' work and give them advice on how to be successful as professional media makers.Set It Up alum Damian Jones took home this year's audience choice award for his documentary short, 'Fong Lee: The Story of Tragedy and Injustice.' Damian's piece examines a wrongful death suit against the Minneapolis Police Department over the death of teenager Fong Lee, who was shot down by Police Officer Jason Anderson, who claimed self-defense in the case. The audience choice award for best radio piece went to Cynthia Ramsey from KFAI Fresh Air Radio for her piece, 'My Experience in the Foster Care System."
Since it's founding twelve years ago, the TCYMN has become the longest standing youth media network in the country. While the inner workings of the network have shifted and evolved over the years, the mission remains the same: promoting, advocating for, supporting, and sharing resources with the community of youth media makers and youth media arts educators. This is why each year, TCYMN puts together the Youth Media Showcase to screen, discuss, and honor the media created by the young people who drive the all our work.
Since then the Network has also started a tradition of a youth-coordinated bi-annual Youth Media Summit, a day-long film project where experienced youth media makers recruit novices from their communities to put together a series of short videos in one day. The Youth Media Market was started last year as an avenue for youth interested in professional media careers to get feedback and explore continuing media education opportunities.
Most of the year, being a member of the Twin Cities Youth Media Network means lots of meeting and hard work, all towards ensuring the equitable growth and quality of youth media programs in the Twin Cities Metro. But once a year, all the planning, emails, and circulating of media comes together in harmony. This is the time when the TCYMN crew can finally sit back (for a quick hour) and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
SPNN Youth is a founding member of the Twin Cities Youth Media Network. For information about the TCYMN, its members, events and opportunities, or about becoming a member, visit tcymn.org. Click here for more photos from this year's event.
