Be On The Lookout For Dylan Ray Mills. Wanted For Assault & Pursuit Charges
Posted by: thepinetree on 01/22/2017 09:45 AM
Angels Camp, CA...Dylan Ray Mills, a 22 year old white male, is wanted for charges related to an assault and pursuit that occurred earlier today in Amador County. Details are still unclear, but apparently Mills was present during an assault involving a knife and fled when Amador County law enforcement officers arrived. A pursuit was initiated in Amador County and was terminated for unknown reasons as it approached Calaveras County. Calaveras County deputies spotted the vehicle associated with Mills and continued the pursuit. The vehicle was pursued into Angels Camp, and at approximately 2 AM on today's date an Angels Camp officer utilized spike strips to disable the vehicle Mills was in as it traveled through Angels Camp. The vehicle came to a stop near the intersection of S. Main Street and Stanislaus Avenue, and Mills fled on foot. Another subject in the vehicle was taken into custody by Calaveras County deputies.

Sunday Morning Power Outage Update....Much Progress Made But Many Still Or Newly In Dark
Posted by: thepinetree on 01/22/2017 09:36 AM
Arnold, CA...The numbers are falling but it was another cold and dark night for many in our area. Many of these outages are new or variations from yesterday. Winds overnight brought down more trees and limbs into power lines and service drops to houses. Interestingly the total number of repair instances seems about the same or higher but the total number in the dark is dropping so they are making good progress. Another observation yesterday when we were out and about is that it didn't seem to be beetle kill trees but green living trees that were carrying a full foliage load to carry snow and hence weight. Our hats off the the crews that are working in abysmal and dangerous conditions. To make it a bit easier to read the list is below the graphic.

Hey Good People!!! It's Is Dumping "Pure Mountain Fun" In Bear Valley!!! ~ Mattly Trent
Posted by: thepinetree on 01/21/2017 07:03 AM
Bear Valley, CA...Hey Good People! We picked up another 12" of new snow overnight for a whopping storm total so far of 58"!!!!!! The high today should come in around the mid to upper 20's with winds out of the SSW from 11-26 with possible gust up to 40mph. The riding is off the hook right now and the upper mtn is in awesome shape as most everything is filled in. We're still assessing the Lwr mtn for Avalanche hazards which remain at a 4 High currently but patience is the key here. With the storm intensifying over the next 2 days it will remain closed. Until then copious amounts of quality riding is to be had on the frontside/backside and village sides of our Mtn. Stay safe, ride with a buddy and be aware of deep tree wells as they are abundant inbounds and in the soft boundaries. Come on up and check out our local "Pure Mtn Fun" ethos and stay tuned..........

Scientists, funded by the National Institutes of Health, are learning more about how we can make healthy changes and sustain them. "Change is always possible," says Dr. Linda Nebeling, an expert in behavioral change and nutrition at NIH. "One challenge with New Year's resolutions is that people often set unrealistic goals. Any resolution to change needs to include small goals that are definable and accompanied by a solid plan on how you'll get to that goal."

Stepping up with Derek Jameson
People got a different look at star-on-the-brink Derek Jameson when he performed at Ultra Suede's Cherry Pop party in West Hollywood on March 24th. It was at a venue where he's performed many times, but the Jameson the audience saw was one they were not accustomed to seeing.
It had an aerialist, a live drummer, dancers, and even costumed flight attendants giving the safety demonstration that you will need when enjoying the new dance and dub-step feel of Jameson's new EP A History of Heroes. Jameson describes it as "...a step up and a show product."
It was definitely a move in a different direction from the balladeer we heard on his debut album "The Invention of Love." "A History of Heroes"' songs are still full of message material we have grown to love about Derek's songwriting, songs of empowerment and self discovery set to a club beat.
The ethos the song evokes is something of a testament to Jameson, who is as much as a philanthropist and activist as he is a recording artist. I visited with Jameson to find out what sets his new EP apart from his previous music, what drove him to the dub-step sound, and what recent changes he has made to further his career.
About heroes
BeBe: Outside of it being an EP versus a full album, what makes "A History of Heroes" different from your last collection of songs "The Invention of Love" back in 2010?
Derek Jameson: This one is more about the things that inspire us in life, and the people we consider as heroes. Some of them are closely related to a love interest, but not all of them. (These) are not just our mothers, fathers, and friends, but people in history that have paved the way for us. It's about the set of personal heroes you have inside your heart. That's really the driving force and why it is even the first track on the EP, and why there are only a few songs on this one because of the single inspiration involved. It focuses on on one thing.
BeBe: What personal heroes have you drawn upon?
Derek Jameson: The people that inspire me the most are people who are powerful and go out there and make change, or do things out of selflessness. I have some friends in my life right now who inspire me so much because of who the are naturally and what they do.
Loving 'dub-step'
BeBe: Is the " A History of Heroes" the first single or "Mr. Soldier Man"?
Derek Jameson: "Mr. Soldier Man" is the first single. I wanted something that kind of represented that heavier dub-step feel that I love. Also, I wanted something different from my featured single off "The Invention of Love", "Ribcage".
BeBe: Dub-step has been really popular over in the U.K (NERO). I know you have been doing a lot of performing here in the U.S., and particularly in California, but was the use of dub-step a conscious effort to try and gain more exposure in Europe?
Derek Jameson: Dub-step is that it combines those dance elements and the heavy emotions behind what an artist is trying to say. I taught myself how to write the wobbles in the dub-step feels because I wanted to use that kind of sound and introduce it into what I want to do from here on out. I wanted to include that edginess, the heavy emotion that comes from that. When you hear that drop come in, you feel the real emotion behind the song. It seems to be going over well with people overseas, as you were saying, particularly with people from Italy for some reason.
BeBe: Now with your video for "Mr. Soldier Man," directed by Jonna Roe, what message are you trying to convey that is different from your video for "Ribcage" which was very popular?
Derek Jameson: The "Mr. Soldier Man" song is about our roles as men. About what we expect from ourselves and what society expects from us, and how sometimes no matter how strong someone may appear they can be weak, and how you can use the weakness to push on and become strong and to be successful for ourselves. My discussions with Jonna was that I wanted to make a video that shows the struggle, or inner battle, someone can go through (with expectations). People who come to Los Angeles can relate. A lot of people come here and get lonely and get lost, and then they leave. So the video is about that kind of journey in finding out who you are and using your weaknesses along the way as a strength. It is much more of a story rather than just a music video.
Showing the depth
BeBe: When you were promoting your last album which had more ballads and mid-tempo offerings, you played many venues with just you sitting at a keyboard and singing. "A History of Heroes" with its dance and dub-step feel would seem to require a more choreographed set with things going on. Will this new EP change the way you perform on stage, and what type of performance style do you prefer?
Derek Jameson: I find that doing an acoustic set, stripping even the songs from the new EP down like that, gets people to pay attention to what your saying. I like taking my songs, dance songs, and performing them on the piano to show the depth behind what I am saying. I love doing acoustic sets for that reason, but when it is at a nightclub, like at the release party at Cherry Pop, I want people to party and to give them a show. So, it really does depend on the environment.
BeBe: Now since we last spoke about a year and a half or so, you have made other changes to your career other than your music to include management and even styling. Can you express to me the what and why behind these changes?
Derek Jameson: I was approached by a group to manage me and fund me as an artist some time ago, and we began working on a lot of material in the studio, but when it came down to it, it wasn't quite as it was presented to me. This is the not so good side of the music business that everyone has heard about or knows. Yes, I have gone through it too. But I didn't just sit there and say poor me, poor me. I don't have time for that. So I let go of that. I decided I am going to take care of myself, and do what I've always done and that is make myself. Of course I would be nothing without my history of heroes and all the people who have been there for me, but I am not going to stand there and wait for someone to help me. And as far as styling, I've become comfortable with what I'm choosing to wear and taking control of what I want to present. I love it so much more! So it was about dropping all that crap and doing what I want to do.
Acting gigs
BeBe: Outside of "A History of Heroes" being out there, you also have been working on some acting projects recently that the public will be able to see you in.
Derek Jameson: Yeah. I completed a Charlie Vaughn ("Vampire Boys") film "Bloody Mary 3-D," a horror film (released on Video On Demand in the U.S. December 1, 2011), in which I play the lead (co-starring adult film stars Ron Jeremy and Veronica Ricci). It also features my song "Ribcage." I really only do acting roles if I am asked. I don't pursue it like my singing. But many movies are picking up my music for their films, such as "1 Chance 2 Dance," a teen dance flick which uses my "Push On" song for its pivotal emotional scene in the movie. Another film, "The Groom's Cake," also uses "Ribcage" in the film.
BeBe: Your song "Push On" also appeared in the new film "Pop-U-larity," co-starring magically voiced Chadwick, where you perform it on film.
Derek Jameson: Yeah. I perform it live as part of an audition group in the film. I became good friends with Chadwick from doing that bit part, and we became fans of each other. It's awesome.
"A History Of Heroes" is available at all on-line music outlets including iTunes and Amazon.com.

As an actress, BeBe was introduced to film with a lead role in the independent film "Under One Sun" with her character dealing with religious, racial and gender issues. Additionally, she appeared in the campy musical "Devious, Inc" (Australian Film Festival, San Francisco Short Film Fest) also adding additional vocals to the musical soundtrack. Both of these performances led to her selection for a lead role in Aisha Media's next short film series, "Con-tin.u.um" to be released in 2012.

Skip to comments.Officials hunt for ex-cop in shootings of 3 officers; 1 killed
Posted on 02/07/2013 7:44:21 AM PST by MeneMeneTekelUpharsin
A massive manhunt was underway Thursday morning for an ex-Los Angeles Police Department officer suspected of shooting three police officers early Thursday, one fatally. He is also a suspect in the shooting of a couple in Irvine over the weekend.
The suspect wrote an online manifesto on his Facebook page, threatening to harm police officials and their families, law enforcement sources said.
(Excerpt) Read more at latimesblogs.latimes.com ...
1. He published his views BEFORE doing something stupid. Got his message out.
2. Using carefully thought-out tactics instead of allowing anger to short-circuit all thinking.
3. Targeted those involved and not everyone else.
4. He's a big man. Big target, hard to hide.
5. Are we on the edge of anarchy in this nation?
6. Misuse of guns again puts all lawful gunowners at risk.
7. Time to address the moral issues yet? What about a religious value system being encouraged that doesn't see this type of action as a solution to problems? Prayer BACK in schools?
No, he's not driving the Titan pickup anymore. Also, since he got his message out, the department might want to investigate the allegations he made about slander.
The same JBT organizations which are now equipped with drones and other military toys. The odds of these organizations experiencing "workplace violence" (as Obama likes to call it) when agents of the state turn on it's master are scheduled for a growth curve.
Do you really want the State writing a prayer for your lips? The problem is not that the State isn't making kids pray, it's that the State runs all the schools.
Seems he's not fooling around.
There was a radio report this AM that they found his wallet near the San Diego Airport.
There are people with mental issues everywhere. It seems that the damage is done when they are smart about it. They can evade the controls, plan, and reek mayhem at will. At least for a relatively short time.
This is why, at the very minimum, citizens have the same weapons capacity as do the police. I would argue that we should have the same capacity as the military but then I would be considered an extremist, a raving lunatic. Just remember, NO ONE (unless in custody) in this country has a legal right to police protection. NO ONE. Only those they CHOOSE to protect will receive such....
Going to be interesting to find out how a 270 pound guy got the drop on 3 officers who were guarding a person he had threatened in his facebook post.
seems like a warning to people in authority to be careful what they do, take everything away from a man (with alleged lies)and he has nothing left to lose...
Appears to have been at one time an upstanding guy. Wonder what the facts are?
He turned in a fellow cop and violated the blue wall of silence. The blue wall black balled him. That's my theory.
The guy left his police badge near the airport last night. He is still believed to be in the gray Nissan Titan with a switch license plate starting with 7XO in place of the original one starting with 8D8.
Heard this on the news this morning. An officer is at the home of every officer to protect his/her family and an officer is with all others he named as targets.
This man is so accomplished in killing and knowing how to do it effectively, is freaking out all those he named as targets.
Now way to know who the good guys/bad guys are these days. The police dept's are infested with corrupt cops.
Most news stories are not giving any details about the hearing in which he claims he was railroaded.
See: Monica Quan and Keith Lawrence Murders: Christopher Dorner, ex-cop, sought in slaying of basketball coach, fiance
According to documents from a court of appeals hearing in October 2011, Dorner was fired from the LAPD after he made a complaint against his field training officer, Sgt. Teresa Evans. Dorner said that in the course of an arrest, Evans kicked suspect Christopher Gettler, a schizophrenic with severe dementia.
Following an investigation, Dorner was fired for making false statements.
Richard Gettler, the schizophrenic man's father, gave testimony that supported Dorner's claim. After his son was returned on July 28, 2007, Richard Gettler asked "if he had been in a fight because his face was puffy" and his son responded that he was kicked twice in the chest by a police officer.
His 'manifesto' had been scrubbed from Facebook, but it's available online in other places.
He gives a lot of details about how he tried to blow the whistle on Sgt. Evans, but the LAPD protected her and fired him, smearing his name in the process.
What the news stories don't say is that Christopher Gettler said that he was kicked twice in the chest and once in the face by the female arresting officer:
In 8/07 I reported an officer (Ofcr. Teresa Evans/now a Sergeant), for kicking a suspect (excessive force) during a Use of Force while I was assigned as a patrol officer at LAPDs Harbor Division. While cuffing the suspect, (Christopher Gettler), Evans kicked the suspect twice in the chest and once in the face. The kick to the face left a visible injury on the left cheek below the eye. Unfortunately after reporting it to supervisors and investigated by PSB (internal affairs investigator Det. Villanueva/Gallegos), nothing was done. I had broken their supposed Blue Line.
Unfortunately, Its not JUST US, its JUSTICE!!! In fact, 10 months later on 6/25/08, after already successfully completing probation, acquiring a basic Post Certificate, and Intermediate Post Certificate, I was relieved of duty by the LAPD while assigned to patrol at Southwest division. It is clear as day that the department retaliated toward me for reporting Evans for kicking Mr. Christopher Gettler. The department stated that I had lied and made up the report that Evans had kicked the suspect.
I later went to a Board of Rights (department hearing for decision of continued employment) from 10/08 to 1/09. During this BOR hearing a video was played for the BOR panel where Christopher Gettler stated that he was indeed kicked by Officer Evans (video sent to multiple news agencies). In addition to Christopher Gettler stating he was kicked, his father Richard Gettler, also stated that his son had stated he was kicked by an officer when he was arrested after being released from custody. This was all presented for the department at the BOR hearing. They still found me guilty and terminated me.
What they didnt mention was that the BOR panel made up of Capt. Phil Tingirides, Capt. Justin Eisenberg, and City Attorney Martella had a signigicant problem from the time the board was assembled. Capt. Phil Tingirides was a personal friend of Teresa Evans from when he was her supervisor at Harbor station. That is a clear conflict of interest and I made my argument for his removal early and was denied. The advocate for the LAPD BOR was Sgt. Anderson. Anderson also had a conflict of interest as she was Evans friend and former partner from Harbor division where they both worked patrol together. I made my argument for her removal when I discovered her relation to Evans and it was denied.
Dorner goes on to state:
During the BOR an officer named, Sgt. Hernandez, from Los Angeles Port Police testified on behalf of the LAPD. Hernandez stated for the BOR that he arrived at the location of the UOF shortly before I cuffed the suspect. He also stated that he assisted in cuffing the suspect and thats old the BOR he told me to fix my tie. All of those statements were LIES!!! Hernandez, you arrived at the UOF location up to 30 seconds after I had cuffed Mr. Gettler. All you did was help me lift the suspect to his feet as it was difficult for me to do by myself because of his heavy weight. You did not tell me to fix my tie as the BOR members and everyone else in the room know you lied because the photographic evidence from the UOF scene where Gettlers injuries were photographed clearly shows me wearing a class B uniform on that day. A class B uniform is a short sleeved uniform blouse. A short sleeved uniform blouse for the LAPD does not have a tie included. This is not Super Troopers uniform, you jackass. Why did you feel the need to embellish and lie about your involvement in the UOF? Are you ashamed that you could not get hired on by any other department other than port police? Do you have delusions of grandeur? What you did was perjury, exactly what Evans did when she stated she did not kick Christopher Gettler.
What they failed to mention in the BOR was Teresa Evans own use of force history during her career on the LAPD. She has admitted that she has a lengthy use of force record and has been flagged several times by risk management. She has a very well known nickname, Chupacabra, which she was very proud to flaunt around the division. She found it very funny and entertaining to draw blood from suspects and arrestees. At one point she even intentionally ripped the flesh off the arm of a woman we had arrested for battery (sprayed her neighbor with a garden water hose). Knowing the woman had thin elastic skin, she performed and Indian burn to the womans arm after cuffing her. That woman was in her mid-70′s, a mother and grandmother, and was angry at her tenants who failed to pay rent on time. Something I can completely understand and I am sure many have wanted to do toward tenants who do not pay their rent. Teresa Evans was also demoted from a senior lead officer rank/position for performance issues. During my two months of working patrol with Teresa Evans, I found her as a woman who was very angry that she had been pulled from patrol for a short time because of a domestic violence report made by Long Beach Police Department because of an incident involving her active LAPD officer boyfriend, Dominick Fuentes, and herself. Dominick Fuentes is the same officer investigated for witness tampering. She also was visibly angry on a daily basis that she was going to have to file for bankruptcy because her ex-husband, a former LAPD officer and not Dominick Fuentes, who had left the department, state, and was nowhere to be found had left her with a tax bill and debt that she was unable to pay because of a lack of financial means. Evans, you are a POS and you lied right to the BOR panel when Randy Quan asked you if you kicked Christopher Gettler. You destroyed my life and name because of your actions.
That's how it seems to me, too.
Details are in my post #21 above.
If true, we now have a message. Law enforcement is generally able to hide this stuff. So, Mr. Dorner's reaction is totally wrong. Many of us can understand exactly how Mr. Dorner feels, having been treated similarly. The female officer should also be terminated for lying. Where are righteous judges?
If you or your family were threatened in this way, would you get this sort of protection? (I'm assuming you are a 'civilian')
Not only can they hide it, but it's clear they usually do.
Unfortunately, in this case those judging the lying cop were her friends.
I'm a civilian with multiple weapons and multiple many cartridge ammo magazines because I WOULD NOT GET THEIR PROTECTION. Screw the idea of a limit of 7 cartridges. That idea/law promotes death to citizens. PLUS, IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
The most the legal system gives is a piece of paper - a court order. I think a judge would issue a court order against Mr. Dorner. That ought to work.

It works, I definately feel less stress when I take it. However, for some reason it makes me itch/burn ALL OVER my body a few minutes after I use it. The feeling is similar to taking niacin except I don't turn red and it only lasts for about 5-10 minutes. Also, the last time I used it I started feeling paranoid, like a bad highschool episode of experimenting with "ahem" grass. My heartbeat was slowed down significantly and my legs were so relaxed I didn't want to move, but I was having the strangest sensation that I was going to die from the GABA powder. That the GABA powder was going to kill me. So I couldn't fall asleep. LOL it was kind of funny but not at the same time. For reference, I only took the recommended dosage so no, I was not ODing lol. Anyway, not for me unless I'm having a bad panic attack because it works very very quickly.
Do not purchase for anxiety relief
Posted by Reviewer1425851 on Dec 14, 2008
GABA does not cross the blood-brain barrier. Supplementing with l-glutamine provides the brain with the raw materials it needs to synthesize GABA and glutamate. GABA in this form depresses the respiratory system and mildly relaxes muscles, which may make it a "shotgun" treatment for people experiencing sympathetic overarousal like high blood pressure, muscle tension, and a rapid heartbeat. Dont expect this to act like a perscription muscle relaxant; it's only really effective for treating neuro-muscular seizures. If taken in large, multi-gram amounts I can guarantee you that you will fear for your safety. It will suppress your ability to breath and remind you of those stories regarding opiate overdoses.
Powder is awful
Posted by Reviewer2643727 on Aug 30, 2007
awful. Taken on an empty, before meals, after meals, with meals, with juice, etc, etc -- it always badly upsets my stomach. Try the v-caps or pack your own in empty capsules.

Not sure, but to me it felt like the product was in the realms of artificiality, in relation to the natural stuff. The effect was clearly noticeable, but really felt more like a temporary drug. The more I got into the natural recipes, sources, the more my body and mind reacts to products like these (along with DMAE, L Pyroglutamic acid which I bought in a desperate effort to find some help). Can't recommend. Just as yourself: natural and holistic way or quick and easy fix -route?

Skip to comments.Card. Meisner cites Pope Francis: No Communion for divorced, remarried
Posted on 12/24/2013 10:43:18 AM PST by markomalley
A reader sent the following. Cardinal Meisner of Cologne gave an interview to Deutschlandrundfunk.
You might be interested in this interview with Cardinal Meisner:
In his third answer, he says the following (its my translation in English, probably very bad):
At my last meeting with Pope Francis, I had the opportunity to talk very open to him about a lot of things. And I told him that some questions remain unanswered in his style of spreading the gospel through interviews and short speeches, questions which need some extended explanation for people who are not so involved. The pope looked at me with big eyes and asked me to give an example. And my response was : During the flight back from Rio you were asked about people who divorced and remarried. And the pope responded frankly: People who are divorced can receive communion, people who are remarried cant. In the orthodox church you can marry twice. And then he talked about mercy, which, according to my view, is seen in this country only as a surrogate for all human faults. And the pope responded quite bluntly that hes a son of the church, and he doesnt proclaim anything else than the teachings of the church. And mercy has to be identical with truth if not, she doesnt deserve that name. Furthermore, when there are open theological questions, its up to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to give detailed responses.
From this we can perhaps glean that Pope Francis may not be entirely aware of the havoc (¿lío?) that some of his home-spun, off-the-cuff comments in the mainstream media have caused.
It would be interesting to see His Holiness reaction to the story about the Catholic school kids in Seattle protesting in favor of some homosexual thing while citing the phrase Who am I to judge. The same for catholic politicians in Illinois citing the same when they passed same-sex marriage.
However, Pope Francis confirmed what I have been saying all along. He is not going to change the Churchs teachings (as if he could). Divorced and remarried? No Communion.
Furthermore, Francis stressed the role of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. He doesnt sound like someone who wants to devolve the role of the Congregation to regional conferences.
There is the option for the remarried to
(1) live together as brother and sister, or
(2) arrange to have your ex die. That may be part of the justification for Obamacare denying care to sick people.
Nancy Pelosi will be offered communion by the Church.Something is very wrong.
Anyone opposed to divorce is welcome to spend a week with my ex-wife and then get back to me.
**However, Pope Francis confirmed what I have been saying all along. He is not going to change the Churchs teachings (as if he could). Divorced and remarried? No Communion.**
BTTT for the truth. Wondering if the lamestream media will announce this, too?
Did you notice that? Pretty good Francis quote, hey?
Or it's a Meissner-quoting-Francis-quote, which may or may not splooge a little in translation. Still, it's a good one. I'm gong to use it as one.
It's a good as Pope Benedict's "Forgiveness is not a substitute for justice." (Link)
Deutschland drunk what?now that's ASKIN' to be misread.
Not divorce. Divorce and remarriage.
Ex-wife was of such great influence, she not only made me a believer in divorce but also caused me to never again consider marriage.
So I guess I'm all good.
Or my ex-husband. Any Pope is welcome to him.
Divorce is NOT the issue. Taking communion without the Church's annulment is not allowed.
I know, some people cannot read, some are not Catholic and of course some people are simply SPECIAL.
What did she do, post an excerpt from her blog?
; )
If there had been blogs back then.. she probably would have.
God 'spiritually' divorced the House of Israel. Any Christian worth their salt ought to know this.
True, a Josephite marriage. Recommended highly.
I don't recommend marriage anymore.
Being married to the wrong person is miserable. American culture seems devoted to turning women into the kind of person you wouldn't want to be married to.
I am glad for, and a bit jealous of, anyone whose experience is different.
Any references of this?
I have long maintained that marriage, aside from religious reasons, is a foolish choice for any American man.
Yes. Jeremiah 3:8. I am using an iPad and do not type well on it or else I would type out the decree. It is why Christ would send His elected disciples to but the 'lost sheep of the House of Israel', because part of their punishment was the removal of their memory of who they are. Matthew 10:6
I like Francis's style. I enjoy seeing the modernists and other leftists and satanists given hope that they have prevailed over God and the Church only to be discombobulated when they read the whole sentence instead of just taking off with the first phrase so to speak.
Weird religion...
Queer sex???
No problem...Help yerself...
Go for it...Eat all the wafers you want...
Baby Killer???
C'mon in...We have plenty of room...Help yourself to the 'real' pressense...
Wife dumped you because you would not do drugs and get drunk and was abusing your kids???
So you divorced and remarried a good Christian woman???
Well shame on you, you derelict...May God forever spit in your coffee...
I seem to see in verses shortly following it forgiveness, for G-d will not remain angry forever.
Jeremiah 3:18
"In those days the people of Judah will join the people of Israel, and together they will come from a northern land to the land I gave your ancestors as an inheritance."
"Anyone opposed to divorce is welcome to spend a week with my ex-wife and then get back to me.
What did she do, post an excerpt from her blog?
; )"
lol good one
Yes, forgiveness after repentance. We are not there yet.
I submit that the reestablishment of Israel is evidence, if needed, that there has been repentence.
I have been told that the reestablishment of Israel was a divine miracle, in response to divine prophecy.
Now it might not be, but that is the tough thing about prophecy: if you write it down after it comes true, then it is less convincing. If you write it down before it comes true, and people work because of that to make it true, then it is less convincing.
To be really convincing you need to have a double blind: You have to make the prediction in the dark, then independently make the measurement. Like Schrodinger's cat.
You're weird.
please send pictures first!!!!

Topic: Moving rails apps from linux to window 7
Hi, I am beginner to Ruby on Rails and even to Ruby language.
I was asked to make some modification on a complete, running app at their Linux server.
I have copied all folder (app folder) to my machine which is a window based machine specifically window 7.
The app is actually using active_admin plugin.
I have installed ruby, ruby gem, and rails on my machine yet, i have failed to run the app on my localhost browser.
When i try to run it using "rails server", error message of "Could not find kgio-2.6.0 in any of the sources".
While google -ing, I've come to know that kgio cant function on window as it is service only for Linux machine.
So how to run the app in window? What am I missing here?
What folders and files should I move to setup a rails apps from Linux to Window?
Is there any special method on copying these files?
Could any one please guide me step by step on this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Meinl M-Series cymbals
MusicRadar's verdict:
Regarded by Meinl as a benchmark for all-round professional cymbals, the M-Series is especially significant as it is the first range of B20 cymbals manufactured entirely in the company's German factory.Some purists might point to a lack of human input in the manufacturing (though five years' R&D would clearly require a lot of decision-making).The fact is that a lot of cymbals are made largely by machines today - let your ears do the choosing.
FULL REVIEW: Meinl M-Series cymbals
Sabian Xs20 cymbals
MusicRadar's verdict:
The Xs20s introduced B20 cast bronze cymbals to the mid-level market, and they have been improved with a new hand-lathing approach that sees wide grooves etched into the surface. The high tin content aligns the Xs20 with higher-priced cymbals, but without the price tag. Good all-rounders for reasonable money, then.

Zildjian K cymbals
MusicRadar's verdict:
Legendary cymbals with an illustrious history that are still the benchmark by which all warm cymbals are judged. Zildjian has ensured that the brand has moved with the times introducing new models that combine the classic K sound with more strident voicing, making them as relevant for contemporary musical situations as they are for jazz.

Zildjian K Custom cymbals

Amedia Crash, Ride and Hi-hat cymbals

Matt Nolan cymbals
MusicRadar's verdict:
We really enjoyed these cymbals. It's always refreshing to encounter instruments that are genuinely different from the pack. And individual British cymbalmakers are rare. Hopefully this is just the start for an exciting new name in cymbals.

Dream Dark Matter cymbals
MusicRadar's verdict:
These are highly individual cymbals whose tonal colour and raw complexity could add an esoteric touch to many genres. Though not as keenly priced as other Dream ranges, they are still good value.

MusicRadar's verdict:
Following on from the classic Z and Z Custom Ranges, Zildjian's Z3 Series come stacked with enough high frequencies to cut across in the heaviest of situations. New lathing and hammering techniques mean the Z3s don't have to rely so much on sheer weight to get their point across and so are kinder on the wrists.

Paiste Black Alpha 'Hyper' cymbals

The selection in this set will be enough to whet your appetite but the RRP but could well dry it up again and put you off any potential purchase - fortunately the 'street price' will make this a more palatable purchasing proposition for what is a versatile set of cymbals.
FULL REVIEW: Paiste Black Alpha 'Hyper' cymbals
Sabian Xs20 Brilliant Finish cymbals
MusicRadar's verdict:
Those stepping up from beginner's cymbals will find the Xs20s noticeably nicer on the ear. For that extra timbral character though, you have to take the next step into the realms of really expensive cymbals. But for now these will do very well.
FULL REVIEW: Sabian Xs20 Brilliant Finish cymbals
Factory Metal
MusicRadar's verdict:
While everybody uses cymbals from the big brands, sometimes it pays to look elsewhere for exotica. And cymbals don't come any more exotic than Factory Metal's StackBasherz, Gothic Radius and Celtic Bells. Funky-looking and ideal for industrial bludgeon, eerie soundtracks and crunching sampled beats, they're a breath of fresh air.
Soultone Cymbals
MusicRadar's verdict:
These are fine instruments that possess musicality and character while being versatile enough to perform in many situations.

UTSA to open fall season at Sam H. Hall Intercollegiate
SAN ANTONIO — The UTSA men's golf team will open its 2013-14 campaign at the 11th annual Sam H. Hall Intercollegiate on Monday-Tuesday, Sept. 9-10, at Hattiesburg Country Club (par 71/6,882 yards) in Hattiesburg, Miss.
The Roadrunners will compete against teams from Arkansas State, Houston Baptist, Jackson State, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, Mercer, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Rice, Sam Houston State, South Alabama, Southeastern Louisiana, Southern Miss and Texas Tech.

Sixth-year head coach John Knauer welcomes back five letterwinners from last year's squad that posted eight top-10 finishes, including a team title at the Rice Intercollegiate. Headlining that list is senior Ryan Werre, who led the Roadrunners with a 74.06 stroke average and three top 10s.

2013 Season Preview
Head coach John Knauer is back for his sixth season leading the Roadrunners. He recently sat down with goUTSA.com to give a season preview on his team.
Can you give us a breakdown of your roster heading into the fall season?
"We have five returnees from last year's team in Ryan Werre, Garrison Lackey, Brett Hogan, Reed Stegall and J.J. Lindsey who all have gotten better over the summer. I'm excited about our two freshmen, Bryce Alley and Kyle Francis. Bryce made our top five for the first tournament, and as a matter of fact he finished second in our qualifying, so he's off to the races right out of the gates. I look for us to be pretty solid this year. It's an exciting time for our program."
How do you view this year's schedule?
"We are excited about our schedule, because we've really upgraded it. We are playing 10 top-10 teams and 20 top-25 teams. Anytime you get to put your kids up against the likes of Alabama and Texas — those types of programs — you can really see what you're made of. Win or lose, it's always a positive to play in those types of tournaments."
Does your approach to the fall season differ any from the spring?
"Just like football where coaches talk about getting better from week one to week two and so on, the same thing happens in golf. How you play in that first tournament, even if you play great, you're still looking to get better at every single tournament. To us, the first tournament in the fall is just as important as the last tournament in the spring. You want to be playing your very best golf at the end of the spring when the conference tournament and postseason rolls around. It's a long enough season to where you can have a hiccup and still be okay. We're always looking to get off to a hot start, but we're mainly looking at the areas where we can get better in the fall and early spring, so that when the end of the season comes we are playing our best golf."
What has your lone senior, Ryan Werre, meant to this program?
"Ryan was in our second recruiting class, but he was the first guy we were able to recruit for an entire year. It's a program-changer when you get a guy like Ryan who wants to take his game to the next level. He has earned numerous honors throughout his career and they are all well deserved. He works very hard at his game and that's put him in a position to where he has a chance to break some school records. When we signed him, we wanted to start to change the culture here. From his class through this newest class, we've gotten better not only on the course, but off the course, as well."
What are you looking for out of your other returning players?
"Obviously, they are the core of our team. Our goal is to have what you consider a young team. You don't want to have five seniors on your roster so that when they graduate it takes you three years to get back to where you were. We've worked hard to get ourselves into this position now where we have some balance of classes in our lineup. We always want to recruit better players with each passing year, and we've been able to bring in the type of player who can step into our top five in his first season. These guys all played in most of our tournaments last year and that experience is going to be huge for us this year. We're excited about how much better they got throughout last season and over the summer, and we expect the fruits of their labors to show up on the course this year."
What do you expect to see out of your team with the move to Conference USA?
"It won't change our schedule, but the conference tournament is a whole different ball of wax. We experienced that last year with the move from the Southland — which had very good golf — to the WAC. Conference USA had five teams advance to nationals last year. Some of those moved into the American Athletic Conference, but some are still remaining. I think the league will be very good from top to bottom. Off the top of my head, Tulane, UAB, Charlotte and North Texas will be really good. It's going to be great to mix it up with them. We're excited about the challenges and competition this new conference will bring."
What does it mean to the program to serve as the host for the 2014 NCAA San Antonio Regional at Briggs Ranch Golf Club, your home course?
"We are very elated. It's a fantastic opportunity for our program, our university and the city of San Antonio to be able to host not only the men's regional this season, but the women's next season. To be able to get the nod from the NCAA to host this event reflects well on all three facets. It's an unbelievable recruiting tool for our program, it's a competitive advantage for our team if we earn a spot in the field and it proves that we are up there with the big boys in college golf."

Too much vinegar

A team led by Nvidia Corp. has been awarded a research grant of $25 million by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the U.S. Defense Department's research and development arm, to address what the agency calls a "crisis in computing". In particular, Nvidia is expected to develop certain technologies that will help to create exascale supercomputers.
The four-year research contract, awarded under DARPA's ubiquitous high performance computing (UHPC) program, covers work to develop GPU technologies required to build the new class of exascale supercomputers which will be 1000-times more powerful than today's fastest supercomputers.
"This recognizes Nvidia's substantial investments in the field of parallel processing and highlights GPU computing's position as one of the most promising paths to exascale computing. We look forward to collaborating to develop programmable, scalable systems that operate in tight power budgets and deliver increases in performances that are many orders of magnitude above today's systems," said Bill Dally, Nvidia's chief scientist, senior vice president of researc, and the team's principal investigator.
The team - which also includes Cray, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and six top U.S. universities - is being funded by DARPA to address the challenge that conventional computing architectures are reaching the practical limits of energy usage and will not meet the challenges of exascale computing. The research team plans to develop new software and hardware technology to dramatically increase computing performance, programmability and reliability.
In addition to the Nvidia-led team, DARPA awarded contracts to three other teams to study UHPC systems. Prototype systems are expected to be completed by 2018.
The UHPC program will develop the architectures and technologies that will provide the underpinnings, framework, and approaches for the resolution of power consumption, cyber resiliency, and productivity problems. The UHPC program will develop computer systems, from embedded to cabinet level, that have extremely high energy efficiency and are dependable and easily programmable. These systems will have dramatically reduced power consumption while delivering a thousand-fold increase in processing capabilities. Dependability technologies developed under the UHPC program will provide adaptable and hardened cyber resilient computer systems. Productivity will be significantly improved by developing scalable, highly programmable computer systems that will not require significant system expertise for the development of high performance applications.

In Years Past
100 Years Ago
In 1913, cheering news was received from Peru, Ind. It was to the effect that the Jamestown men employed in that city were all right. The large interests of Jamestown businessmen in Peru made any news from there especially interesting in this city. In order that the Salisbury Wheel Company might secure accurate information in regard to its Peru plant, Erwin Shearman, secretary of the company, left for Detroit where he would join Scott Penfield and together they would go to the Indiana city to make a careful investigation of conditions.
While at points on Chautauqua Lake the water was said to be higher than ever before known, the measurements made by the Jamestown engineer at the boatlanding bridge showed that the highwater mark of the past year had not as yet been attained. But whether or not the record of 1912 was exceeded at the boatlanding bridge, it was certain the record was more than exceeded at points up the lake. A northwest wind sweeping down the lake in the afternoon rolled the waters higher and higher on the shores in the vicinity of Celoron and Beechwood.
75 Years Ago
In 1938, many persons were tossed out of bed, and the area of East Titusville rocked as if by a nitroglycerin explosion, when an air compressor tank of the Crew Levick refinery let go early in the morning. Force of the explosion was so great all Titusville felt the shock. Hundreds rushed by automobile to the scene, fearing a major disaster. The tank, 15 feet long and 4 1/2 feet in diameter, was hurled 20 feet from its base. It was equipped with safety valves and no one could account for the explosion. No person was hurt. One brick wall was damaged but refinery officials said the loss would be "negligible."
Jamestown Chief of Police Edwin M. Nyholm was surprised by a host of friends, including several city officials and most members of his department as he celebrated his 50th birthday at his home, 80 Stewart Ave. on Sunday. The affair, arranged by Mrs. Nyholm, took the chief entirely by surprise but like the good policeman he was, he proved himself equal to the occasion. "It looked like a raid," he explained as he responded to the felicitations of his friends. Mrs. Nyholm served a Swedish smorgasbord for the great number of well wishers who visited the home during Sunday afternoon and evening.
50 Years Ago
In 1963, a $150,000 fire destroyed the main structure of the Brown Milling Co. at 2:30 a.m. in Randolph. The loss was only partially insured, William Decker, one of the three owners, said. A fireman was injured as more than 50 volunteer firemen from seven fire companies battled the flames. Fortunately, there was no wind and the fire was confined to the main building, one of four connecting structures, housing thousands of tons of grain and seeds for spring planting. The fire apparently started from friction after a belt slipped off an elevator pulley while a crew of four men moments before had completed emptying a carload of bran from a boxcar on the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad siding adjacent to the main structure's storage bins.
Linda Apotosh, a sixth-grade student in Joseph Maietta's room, was pronounced the Lakewood Elementary School's champion speller when 18 fifth- and sixth-graders met for the annual spelling bee. Brenda Segerlin from Mrs. Jean Hodges' sixth grade class was second. Runners-up were Dorothy Cole from Mrs. Martha Peterson's sixth grade class and Wendy Conover, a pupil in Joseph Maietta's sixth grade class.

In 1988, Robbie Godwill and Ivory Smith of Sinclairville, who attended an Easter egg hunt sponsored by the Sinclairville Preschool Mothers Club and local merchants on Saturday, sized up the number of goodies on which they would be feasting. They were among approximately 90 youngsters from toddlers to sixth-graders who uncovered a cornucopia of treats.
Strong winds during the weekend were blamed for electrical outages in the Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. and Jamestown Board of Public Utilities distribution systems. Bruce Ellis, manager of Niagara Mohawk's regional office in Dunkirk, said a pole on the Sherman-Clymer Road was broken by the wind Saturday afternoon, knocking out power to 60 area customers for four hours. In Jamestown, a tree that fell at Arbutus and Dunn avenues about 1 p.m. Saturday knocked out a circuit serving lower East Second Street and lower Falconer Street. The BPU was called out later in the day after a tree that fell near the Apple Inn Restaurant on the Old Fluvanna Road took out a circuit from the Clifton Avenue substation. A service break affected much of the Fluvanna area from near city line to the Fluvanna-Townline Road.

Ordered this for a friend

I did not use it personally.

Yes, it is expensive, but almonds are expensive. Very good, great in sandwiches, raw food balls or just off the spoon...

I love this product! I was staying away from nuts for digestion issues (candida) and also because I couldn't find a good quality raw butter close by. I'm so happy I bought this as it is such a nice treat to pull out every now and then. I dip carrots in and also smear it on apple slices.

I loved this almond butter.. It was fresh, oily goodness full of almond flavour.. I had to stop myself from devouring the whole container at once. Still ran out pretty fast. Recommend to all if you are looking for a healthy alternative to your regular fats

Great flavor and texture. Not a lot of stirring involved, which I really appreciate.
No oil on top

Exactly what I was looking for! No excessive oil separation
Very delicious

Bought four tubs already. Best snack before bed. Very nutty and natural. Yummy and nutritious.
Love this stuff!

Expensive but well worth it. I bought another less expensive brand when I finished my first jar of Artisana and I can't wait to finish it to get into this second one I bought. The taste is well worth the price.
Best almond better around

After years of trying different almond butters, I am excited that Artisana is available at Iherb! Excellent taste and texture, not to mention being ORGANIC!
Probably the most delicious nut butter I've ever had
Posted by Reviewer1062430 on Apr 21, 2011
I just love this stuff. I had to hold myself back from downing the whole jar in one sitting. I add it to smoothies, have it with veggies and fruit, on bread, alone, on chocolate, it's just tasty.
