The late Corrie ten Boom experienced extreme suffering in her days as a Nazi concentration camp prisoner during World War II. In her book Corrie ten Boom's Prison Letters, she wrote that she "often felt lonely and afraid." Suffering became a way of life.
To seek relief from fear, loneliness and suffering, ten Boom turned to the assurance of God's Word found in Psalm 91:4: "He shall cover thee with His feathers" (KJV). She prayed this verse every night. Then, closing her eyes, she would picture herself under the actual feathers of God's protection. Peaceful sleep would follow. read more

Screen scrolling stuttering or jittery?
Anybody else notice that screen scrolling is sometimes jittery or stuttering? This is not something I noticed on my iPad 2.
I see it primarily in the Facebook and Twitter apps, although it appears to a very minimal extent in Safari at times.
I tried rebooting the iPad to see if that improved things, and it did, it was gone for a while, until a bit later after opening and closing mulitple apps, etc.
Anybody else seeing this?
Nope. All is well here. Only thing I could think of that may cause an issue like that is using an old backup to restore the new device. Even them I think the odds would be slim but it's possible.

Yes, I have definite stuttering: scrolling FB, web pages or documents (magazines, books, work docs) - I am getting a good deal of stuttering. I guess I figured everyone was. I had iPad 2 for all of 5 days before getting the new iPad, so I am new to iPad and just assumed that was status quo. Interested to hear that it may not be - that others are fine.
I have Verizon 4G in case that makes any difference. I am on Wi-fi all day, then on 4G outside the office. I will experiment a bit to see whether it is 4G or wi-fi or both that stutter. It could be the network (ha!)...
- 03-20-2012, 05:14 PM Thread Author #6
Did you restore your new iPad from a backup of your iPad 2? Or did you set it up as brand new? Which size Verizon unit do you have?
I'd hate to have to take this unit back to the Apple Store as everything else seems perfect, but if we're very much in the minority on this, I might have to...
But I'm going to try a restore as new tonight and see if that makes a difference...

We may be a minority so far, but this is a relatively new thread, so lets give it some time to see who else weighs in. We may have more company than we think we do!
Lets keep one another posted on this as we learn more/ experience more w/ this.

I set up mine up as a new iPad and immediately noticed stuttering/choppy scrolling on certain media-intensive pages (CelticsBlog.com was the first site I really noticed it on). Never noticed any stuttering on the iPad 2. Not a huge deal though, most pages are fine.
- 03-21-2012, 11:35 AM Thread Author #10
I will try out restoring it as new, but this is a deal breaker for me if it continues and this iPad (despite its otherwise perfect screen) will be going back to the Apple Store if it continues...
I will update this thread, even though it seems this is not a widespread issue...

I get some delayed typing especially in popups that ask for sign in/password. Tap a letter and lags a second.
High res photos have a bit of lag when pinching to zoom.
I've noticed some occasional stuttering when scrolling but I forget where. It wasn't a big deal.
These are minor though. The killer screen makes it easy to look past anything like this. Software updates may help too.
Overall though, it does feel like things are 'just' fast enough where the ipad 2 felt like it had more than enough processor. I'm already guessing i'll appreciate a faster processor in the next ipad. Kind of like the iphone 4S to the iphone 4.

Nothing wrong with the scroll rate on my new iPad. Smooth and fast, same as it was on my iPad 2.

The restore as new made no difference. And it is definitely more noticeable in 3rd party apps like FB and Twitter.
I stopped in the apple store and checked out a display new iPad and a couple of iPad 2's. The problem with comparison is the lack of the 3rd party apps on the display units. But comparing the same websites in Safari with my new iPad at home, they are roughly the same, maybe mine stutters a tiny bit more.
The iPad 2's on display hardlyn exhibited this behavior at all. Maybe the processor and GPU are having a hard time driving the new Retina display?
At this point I don't know if an exchange for a different unit is going to make a difference...

Restore as new iPad made no difference.
Yesterday I stopped by the Apple Store to try out the display units. Unfortunately,on my new iPad, the problem seems far worse on 3rd party apps like Facebook, which were not nstalled on the demo units. As far as I could tell, Safari on the demo units exhibited the issue to the same, and maybe perhaps a tiny bit less, than my own new iPad, so I'm not sure exchanging this otherwise perfect u it is going to accomplish anything...
I also tried their iPad 2 demos, which did exhibit the stutter/jitter too, but to an almost unnoticeable level, so maybe it's an iOS 5.1 change to accommodate retina graphics on the iPad 2? I installed 5.1 on my old iPad 2 but had it for only 3-4 days before selling it to make room for the new iPad.
Since comparisons with the demo units were lacking, and given my reluctance to return this one in the hope that this is not the "new normal", I'm tempted to buy another identical unit, test it out and return one of them, but I'm a bit concerned about running afoul of Apple's return policy. Any thoughts on this?
- 03-26-2012, 10:33 AM Thread Author #20
UPDATE: After checking out a number of display models, the new iPad as well as the iPad 2, and playing around with another 64 gb Verizon new iPad, I have concluded that what I'm seeing is the "new normal".
By this I mean I think the iPad 2 was smoother and more responsive, albeit slightly, in certain apps and certain functions, but the advantages of the Retina display more than make up for it.
Hopefully a future update of iOS will make the new iPad a little smoother and/or hopefully I will stop noticing it. I already feel better about the issue knowing it is not an issue or defect with my particular iPad, now I'm fully enjoying its advantages over my now sold iPad 2.
Thanks for everyone's input and I hope you are all enjoying your new iPads.

Re: Screen scrolling stuttering or jittery?
I have noticed the same problem when on FB, but not all the time. I believe it is always loading, so depending on the content not read yet, it may stutter. It does not do it in Safari. It may be the same with some sites asking for a password. Some are so full of adds, and still loading the page, there may be a lag in trying to type. Once the page loads, everything is smooth. Could apps running in the background cause this? Try clearing out your tasks, and see if that makes any difference.

Re: Screen scrolling stuttering or jittery?
It's nice and smooth on my old iPhone 5 for a change. I had issues in the settings app with scrolling. It's smooth as silk now.

Re: Screen scrolling stuttering or jittery?
I have a new iPhone 6s Plus. The backup I did was from the same iOS running on a 5s. It ran fine for the first month. Now, however, the screen is jittery and jumping all around. Texting or drafting in any app is a nightmare now. If you hold your finger on the screen, it just bops around. If you have to use the back button, it may delete 3 or 4 characters, but if you try to just hold it down to delete say a paragraph (and this is because you can't hold your finger on the paragraph to select and cut), because of the shaking and it throwing the cursor around).
Anyone know why this has started happening or how to fix?
BTW, I have NEVER had this happen and Ive had probably 8 iPads/Pods, 5 iPhones, and numerous Macs.Now that i know its a global issue, we know its not hardware.

Time for Thanksgiving!
- Grades: 1–2
Getting your Thanksgiving unit ready? Scholastic has some awesome resources to help you plan a great one. Sign up to receive letters from a Wampanoag boy and Pilgrim girl to be delivered to your classroom! You can also take advantage of the vast variety of other multimedia and more traditional resources available on the site right now. There are video tours of the Mayflower, Plimoth Plantation, a Wampanoag homesite, and a Pilgrim village, plus slide shows that really bring the spirit of Thanksgiving into your classroom. Check it out.
Teacher Magazine has a great article with suggestions for crafts and other fun activities to help kids learn about Thanksgiving. And try these great online features for answers to your Thanksgiving questions:
Visit the Plimoth Plantation Web site, and check out the Pilgrim Hall Museum Web site to view text from the only two primary sources about the first Thanksgiving.
The American Journeys Web site provides access to firsthand accounts of early North American exploration.
Turkey clip art courtesy of Scholastic Printables.
Scholastic Printables is one of my "go to" resources. In my class, we will play the "Sail on the Mayflower!" game and work on a Thanksgiving Reader's Theater the week before Thanksgiving. I also like to incorporate some drawing or writing activity (download a Mayflower drawing) and a glyph the week of Thanksgiving (download turkey glyph). We also make a turkey hat to take home.
We usually have a Friendship Feast with our Kindergarten Buddies, and I assign an extra credit homework assignment for their break. There is a great Web quest that features the Plimoth Plantation and an activity calendar that kids can do over their vacation if they choose.
I also take this opportunity to have children research their family tree. I like to use an easy family tree template from Misbach enterprises. Here is another family tree template that you can fill out online. We discuss what the term family means to us and then talk about all different kinds of families, from those with divorced parents and single parents to foster and adoptive parents. Then after the trees are filled out, we write stories about how our families are special.
The 3rd graders read Molly's Pilgrim, make pilgrim clothespin dolls, and then research the first person in their family to come to the United States. Then the students share their findings in an oral report and put their pilgrim doll creations in a class museum.
Some wonderful books that I read to my class during November include Turkey Trouble, A Turkey for Thanksgiving, One is a Feast for Mouse, Thanksgiving Day Thanks, Gracias, The Thanksgiving Turkey, and On the Mayflower.
The book Lies My Teacher Told Me is a good book for teachers to read to acquire background knowledge on Thanksgiving and other holidays. The section on Thanksgiving portrays the tough reality the Pilgrims faced in sailing across the Atlantic and their relationship with Squanto and the Wampanoag leading up to the feast.
I hope that you enjoy your Thanksgiving celebrations!
Happy teaching,
Comments (6)
Becky, Thanks for commenting on my blog and for the book recommendation! Happy Turkey Day, Nancy
I wanted to make another great book recommendation. "Thank You, Sarah" is wonderful. It talks about how Thanksgiving became a national holiday. I am not sure about the name of the author because the book is not with me at the moment.
Eva, I would love to encourage you to read the book to find out! One good example is that the Thanksgiving that I learned about when I was little and in school. The teachers spun a tale of Pilgrims and Native Americans meeting and being friends, then they eat together. This is the warm fuzzy version of Thanksgiving, but it isn't the whole truth. I hope you read the book!
Happy Thanksgiving, Nancy
What are some of the juicy lies my teacher told me?
Thank you Stephanie! I hope that you found a few that you could use.
Happy Thanksgiving! Nancy
love all the book suggestions! :)

The Environment
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Francis Scarpaleggia Lac-Saint-Louis, QC
Mr. Speaker, the environment commissioner has indicated that Fisheries and Oceans does not have enough scientific data on the current state of fish habitats to allow the government to regulate surface water removal from Canada's fish-bearing waters, as it is obligated to do under the Constitution.
Can the minister tell us if she has the scientific data needed to allow the government to come up with draft regulations for the shale gas industry?
The Environment
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Cypress Hills—Grasslands
David Anderson Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources and for the Canadian Wheat Board
Mr. Speaker, as I said, shale gas represents a tremendous opportunity for Quebec. It is up to the Province of Quebec to set the framework for the development of that resource.
Unlike the Liberals, who want to tell Quebeckers how to develop their resources, our government is going to work with the provinces and territories to help realize the benefits of those resources.
Status of Women
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Jean Crowder Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, after months of waiting, instead of targeting programs to end violence against aboriginal women, the Conservatives announced a long laundry list of unspecified programs not for aboriginal women.
A missing person's centre is necessary. Sisters in Spirit proved that when they showed how impossible our current methods are at tracking who is missing. Why is the government paying for the national police support centre for missing persons with money that should be focused on the problems of violence against aboriginal women?
Status of Women
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Edmonton—Spruce Grove
Rona Ambrose Minister of Public Works and Government Services and Minister for Status of Women
Mr. Speaker, we are supporting a centre for missing persons because this is a responsibility that all of us share, and I can tell the hon. member that this was a very well received announcement that we made in Vancouver. In particular, the Native Women's Association of Canada welcomed this. They themselves are the ones who raised awareness about the murdered or missing aboriginal women, and we responded to that call with a new $10 million program and a new centre for missing persons with the RCMP.
Public Safety
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Maria Mourani Ahuntsic, QC
Mr. Speaker, without consultation, the Conservative government has announced the closure of two border crossings in Quebec and a significant reduction in the operating hours of three border crossings by April 2011. At the same time, the United States is investing in small border crossings to improve their infrastructure for safety reasons. The harmonization of border crossings is a failure.
Will the Minister of Public Safety suspend his decision to close several border crossings in Quebec and to reduce the operating hours of others?
Public Safety
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Dave MacKenzie Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Safety
Mr. Speaker, this side of the House does believe Canadians deserve value for their money and programs that do produce results, and we are pleased that CBSA has said that no job losses are expected as a result of these port closures and that alternative ports are located very close by, less than 20 kilometres away.
The decision to transfer services from very low traffic sites to other nearby sites will give people better value for their money.
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
November 1st, 2010 / 3 p.m.
Ujjal Dosanjh Vancouver South, BC
Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The issue is not whether or not the government is part of the plea bargaining, because the government cannot be part of the plea bargaining. Only the prosecutor, defence or anyone else that is allowed by Khadr to be part of the process can be part of the process.
The question is this. The government talked to the U.S. Department of State and said, "If you arrive at an agreement, we would agree to have him transferred into this country". That is an agreement by any name. By any other name that is an agreement to say Khadr can come back.
Did you not negotiate with the United States Department of State to have Khadr come back?
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
The Speaker Peter Milliken
The Speaker did not.
The hon. Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Lawrence Cannon Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, the question remains this. Is the Government of Canada part of the negotiations, the plea negotiations? No, the Government of Canada is not part of the plea negotiations, and I am very happy to see that my hon. colleague, after spending this question period repeating that, has finally agreed with me that that is the case. We were not part of it.
Government Response to Petitions
Routine Proceedings
3 p.m.
Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre
Tom Lukiwski Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36(8) I have the pleasure to table, in both official languages, the government's response to one petition.
Investigative Powers for the 21st Century Act
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
Niagara Falls
Rob Nicholson Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-51, An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Competition Act and the Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Act.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Investigating and Preventing Criminal Electronic Communications Act
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
Rob Nicholson Niagara Falls, ON

(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Industry, Science and Technology
Committees of the House
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
David Sweet Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Westdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the ninth report of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology, in accordance with its order of reference on Wednesday, March 3, 2010.
Your committee has considered Bill C-393, An Act to amend the Patent Act (drugs for international humanitarian purposes) and to make a consequential amendment to another Act and agreed on Monday, November 1, 2010, to report it, with amendments.
Justice and Human Rights
Committees of the House
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
Ed Fast Abbotsford, BC
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the sixth report of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. In accordance with the order of reference of Friday, October 8, 2010, your committee has considered Bill S-215, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (suicide bombings) and agreed on Thursday, October 28, 2010, to report it, with amendments.
Canadian Wheat Board Act
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
Pat Martin Winnipeg Centre, MB
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-588, An Act to amend the Canadian Wheat Board Act (members of the board).
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to rise today to introduce this private member's bill regarding the Canadian Wheat Board. This bill finds its origins in the fact that there is no business case for abolishing the Canadian Wheat Board. In fact, it is the largest and most successful grain marketing company in the world and yet the government has been on an ideological crusade to bring it down.
This bill would enhance the powers of the board of directors of the Wheat Board. It would change the way the board of directors is chosen and selected. It would reduce the number of directors appointed by the government. It would diminish the arbitrary discretionary powers of the minister to interfere with the activities, administration and operation of the Canadian Wheat Board, and it would reaffirm the fact that the Wheat Board is not a government institution or agency. It is in fact a wholly owned co-operative enterprise operated and owned by the grain producers of the prairie region, and their success is paramount. The government should get its hands off the Wheat Board, and this bill would codify the powers of the directors to chart their own destiny and their own control of this great Canadian institution.

Working with the Ipad Pro & Apple Pencil
Kind of a dream commission. For these series, I was asked not to illustrate a specific article but rather to occupy the spread with something that drew the reader in.
The drawing is the article.
Produce within the Walk&Talk Festival in Ponta Delgada, Azores, Portugal.
An urban installation in big format (8x3m).
Using paste up technique of a large print of two different drawings overlapping swatches in a reference to Rorschach's famous psychological test.
The public approaches the artwork from a far, only reading its main shape and as it comes closer new stories and details become clear.
From November 2015 until February 2016, I was the resident artist of PARADISE AiR , in the city of Matsudo, Japan.
The LONG Stay Program gave me the opportunity to produce a large scale artwork based in the city of Matsudo while living and engaging with the local community.
My modus operandi was very simple. Explore, draw & exhibit.
The starting point for this series was a commission for The New Yorker that led to a personal investigation in depicting this specific urban environment.
Drawing mostly by memory and random visual references, a distorted, personal and strange new city appears. It's the New York I have inside my mind.
Pen on paper. Aprox. 1300 x 4000 mm
A very special private commission.
A 4 meter long drawing based in the city of Genova, Italy done in 74 days. It's basically my interpretation of Genova, where the client is from. Aiming to convey the feel of Genova focusing on some elements like the port, the old town, the incredible infrastructures and highways that are part of the city.
A fictional view of New York City riverside.
A architectural capriccio where it possible to see depicted the Brooklyn Bridge, the Freedom Tower, the New Museum, the Beekman Towers and some more of the city's highlights. This image was used in all sort of media by the Festival campaign.
Cover illustration of the Sunday Arts & Style section of of the Washington Post.
The commission was is to illustrate a story analyzing the portrayal of Washington, D.C. in contemporary film and television.
Reskate recollects abandoned boards which once reshaped are delivered to either acclaimed or novel illustrators to create a one of a kind piece.
A really fun editorial illustration for Wired Magazine on a feature story about the overwhelming size and growth of Facebook.
Starting from few ideas on zeppelins, spaceships, robots and airplanes resulted on a "F" extrusion deformed into a spaceship-like-machine made of screens and antennas with a touch of colour in watercolour. Also did a secondary image and a little animation of the primary drawing for the iPad edition.
Illustration for 11 meter wall at the Bar Armazém do Chá in Oporto, Portugal.
I went for a continuos drawing depicting various buildings of the city and because of the placement in the room, choose to maintain an horizont so while you move in the space it still makes sense. At the end the original drawing was blown up and printed in vynil. I was told that drunk people really enjoy looking at it!
A series of illustrations for the Critics Section in The New Yorker magazine.
Another challenge proposed by Chris, the art director. I started focused on some cultural buildings in NYC but quickly evolved to different graphical representation of the city. A city of facades, a folded city and some tongue-in-cheek billboards.
From 2012 to 2013, each month a new drawing was featured on the magazine.
Each day, one drawing. Nothing fancy, I call them test-drawings.
They tell a bit of my research on motifs and shapes. And they are all about the fun of drawing. In 2012 for 136 days I draw one of these each day. On a A5 size high quality paper sheet with my faithfull Staedtler 0.1 mm pen. I stil continue to add to the challenge but now with a more irregular pace. See them all at blog.mistermourao.com
A fun experiment with MOM books.
96 pages filled with my drawings for you to color, complete, obssese & enjoy!
ACURA, one of the sponsors of the New Yorker Festival asked me to create two original drawings for their event within the Festival. Departing from the Manhattan skyline. One of Midtown and other of the Financial district. Including the statute of Liberty!

Kasie Enman Gets Ready for U.S. Mountain Running Team Qualifiers - Page 3
What have you learned from the Loon course that will help you next weekend?
The first time I raced Loon, I tried to race hard and fast but was thrown off by the downhill and demoralized by the Upper Walking Boss. The second time I was sore from racing at Mount Cranmore the previous weekend, and went out much slower and just tried to get through it. Dave Dunham and Paul Kirsch asked me at the finish line if I thought I'd broken the course record. I had no idea. It wasn't until a day or two later when Paul emailed me that I had broken it.
Last year, Loon was the weekend following the U.S. Championships so I was just running it for fun and wasn't trying to go super fast and was surprised to find that I took another couple minutes off the record. So, I guess what I've learned is that you run it best when you're having fun and not trying to force things. Not an easy task in a championship or qualifier race!

The Nepal study found that tiger habitat improved in areas where local communities had a say in the management.moreover, climate change could make conditions far less accommodating in 50 or 100 years.
In Australia, researchers found it wasn't hunting that caused the extinction of small mammals, but the loss of hunting.a corridor of community-managed lands might ultimately allow the tiger population to re-connect with populations in other parks.
Community-managed forests in 15 tropical countries were more effective than traditional protected areas.the co-authors write, that the Martu are aware of "which species of skink returns to the same location to defaecate and which mouse prefers burnt spinifex." The government, which has no staff on the ground there, has asked the Martu to participate in co-management of the park, but the Martu have insisted instead on full ownership and management rights. Elsewhere in the world, indigenous communities and community conservancies already control 40 percent of the land area in Namibia, 50 percent in Mexico, and 90 percent in Papua New Guinea. And the evidence increasingly suggests that they can succeed at achieving conservation goals. A recent analysis in the journal Forest Ecology and Management found that community managed forests in 15 tropical countries were actually more effective than traditional protected areas at reducing deforestation.
'We can't conserve everything within park boundaries. So how do we work with local people?'out not to own the land under negotiation. (It's happened, he says.)

This mobile of beautiful, feather-weight clouds is balanced so that any gentle breeze sends them turning and twisting. Some are rain clouds, dropping sparkling showers below.
But it's not just a pretty work of art. The shapes represent certain types of clouds. One is a big, scary cumulonimbus cloud. It is very tall, reaching from the lowest stratus clouds all the way up to the highest cirrus clouds. The cumulonimbus is pouring rain. A real cumulonimbus cloud might be causing lightening and thunder too. Another rain cloud is the nimbostratus. It is low and flat—and heavy with rain.
You can make this cool Cloud Mobile with common materials and supplies—and a little patience to get it balanced just right.
Here's how to make your mobile.
Seeing through the clouds
CloudSat is an Earth satellite that studies the clouds in ways never before possible. CloudSat's instrument can actually slice through the clouds to see what's inside. It sends out radar signals that bounce off the water in the clouds and return to the CloudSat instrument. The signal that bounces back tells CloudSat how thick the clouds are and how much water they contain. Its data helps scientists understand all the important things to know about clouds.
Knowing how clouds affect Earth's climate is very important. Do clouds trap heat and make Earth's surface warmer? Or do clouds' bright surfaces reflect enough sunlight back into space to make up for the heat they trap? These questions must be answered for scientists to be able to predict how Earth's climate may change. CloudSat flies in a polar orbit (over the North Pole and the South Pole) close together in a certain pattern with four other satellites. This "constellation" of satellites is called the "A-Train."`
Here is a CloudSat poster showing all the cloud types and comparing their altitudes in the sky.
I hung my Cloud Mobile over my bed.

Former Getco duo emerge at rival HFT
Tibra Capital has appointed two former executives at Getco Europe, with one described as a "game-changing" hire for the Australian high-frequency trading firm looking to improve its fortunes in Europe.
Tibra Capital, which is headquartered in Sydney, has appointed Stephen Kovalcik as head of algorithmic trading and Neil Groves as a software developer in its London office, Financial News has learned.
Both were previously employed at rival firm Getco Europe.
Kovalcik left Getco's European division, where he was a head trader in equities, in March, according to the Financial Services Authority's register of authorised persons. Prior to Getco he worked at Chicago-based Wolverine Trading, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Groves was with Getco for two years, leaving in June, according to his LinkedIn profile. He joined the firm from gaming technology company Aris Technologies, where he was a technical lead.
According to one City of London headhunter, Groves is viewed as a "game-changing" hire for Tibra as it pushes to be a "bigger player in Europe".
Tibra was founded in Sydney in 2006 by renowned trader Danny Bhandari. The firm specialises in proprietary trading and market-making in derivatives, equities and foreign exchange across global trading venues and has offices in Sydney, London, Amsterdam, Hong Kong and Chicago.
It is one of a handful of firms that use their own capital and heavily quantitative, computer-driven techniques to trade across markets in fractions of a second. The strategies of the firms vary and include market-making, as well as statistical arbitrage techniques designed to extract profits from discrepancies in prices across different securities and platforms.
High-frequency trading has burgeoned over the last decade and now accounts for around a third of trading on European exchanges, according to analysts.
The hires come after a difficult year for the group in Europe. In its most recent financial statements filed with Companies House, Tibra Trading Europe Ltd reported a 62% fall in revenues to £44.4m for the year ended June 30, 2011. Pre-tax profits fell by 90% to £1m.
The company attributed its performance last year to "challenging [conditions] in the global financial services sector".
Getco Europe, Tibra Capital and Groves could not be reached for comment. Kovalcik did not return calls seeking comment.

Beef with Barley Soup
Beef with Barley Soup
Cook Time: 3 hours 30 minutes

Stir as needed to keep onions and garlic from burning. Lower heat if necessary; drizzle a little more olive oil if needed to keep food from sticking.
- Add everything except the tomatoes to the pot and stir well. Increase the heat and bring the soup to a boil, then turn heat to low, cover pot, and simmer for two hours, stirring occasionally. Adjust heat as necessary to keep soup at a slow simmer. If the soup thickens too much, add a little more water or broth.
- Taste to correct seasonings, then add tomatoes and simmer for another hour. Remove bay leaf before serving. Makes 8 servings.
Beef Pot Roast with Maple Sweet Potatoes and Cider Gravy
Total Recipe Time: 3 hours
- 1 boneless beef chuck shoulder roast (3 to 3-1/2 pounds)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1-3/4 teaspoons salt, divided
- 3/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
- 1 cup ready-to-serve beef broth
- 3/4 cup apple cider
- 3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled, cut crosswise into 1 to 1-1/2 inch pieces
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons brandy or water
- Heat oil in stockpot over medium heat until hot. Place beef pot roast in stockpot; brown evenly. Remove pot roast; pour off drippings and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Add onion and thyme to stockpot; cook and stir 3 to 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Add broth and cider; increase heat to medium-high. Cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until browned bits attached to stockpot are dissolved. Return pot roast to stockpot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover tightly and simmer 2-1/2 hours.
- Add sweet potatoes and garlic to stockpot; continue simmering, covered, 30 minutes or until sweet potatoes and pot roast are fork-tender.
- Remove pot roast; keep warm. Remove sweet potatoes and garlic with slotted spoon to large bowl, leaving cooking liquid in stockpot.
- Add maple syrup, ginger, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to sweet potatoes. Beat until sweet potatoes and garlic are mashed and smooth; keep warm.
- Skim fat from cooking liquid; stir in cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 1 minute or until thickened.
- Carve pot roast into slices; serve with mashed sweet potatoes and gravy.
Recipe as seen in The Healthy Beef Cookbook, published by John Wiley & Sons
Cook's Tip: Fresh apple cider is sold filtered and unfiltered. Filtered cider looks clear and is lighter in color than unfiltered cider, which is deep brown and cloudy due to apple pulp particles. Unlike apple juice, fresh cider is perishable and must be refrigerated before opening. Always purchase pasteurized cider. Sweet potatoes may also be mashed using a food processor To easily skim fat from cooking liquids, use a fat or gravy separator. The spout on this special pitcher is positioned at the bottom so as fat rises to the surface the liquid below can be poured off separately.

Business highlights: The top 2013 business-related topics
Hollywood struggles against new film meccas
LOS ANGELES (AP) – In the old days, filmmakers flocked to Hollywood for its abundant sunshine, beautiful people and sandy beaches. But today a new filmmaking diaspora is spreading across the globe to places like Vancouver, London and Wellington, New Zealand.
Fueled by politicians doling out generous tax breaks, filmmaking talent is migrating to where the money is. The result is an incentives arms race that pits California against governments around the world and allows powerful studios -with hundreds of millions of dollars at their disposal- to cherry-pick the best deals.
The most recent iteration of the phenomenon came earlier this month when James Cameron announced plans to shoot and produce the next three "Avatar" sequels largely in New Zealand. What Cameron gets out of the deal is a 25 percent rebate on production costs, as long as his company spends at least $413 million on the three films.
Hollywood poised for best-ever box-office year
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Despite a string of summertime flops, Hollywood is expected to have a banner year at the domestic box office, coming in just shy of $11 billion, the largest annual take ever. But because of higher ticket prices, actual attendance at North American theaters remained flat after a decade of decline.
With the current domestic box-office tally nearly 1 percent ahead of last year at this time, 2013 could surpass 2012's overall haul of $10.8 billion by more than $100 million, according to box-office tracker Rentrak.
Target: encrypted
PINs were stolen
ATLANTA (AP) – Target said Friday that debit-card PINs were among the financial information stolen from millions of customers who shopped at the retailer earlier this month.
The company said the stolen personal identification numbers, which customers type into keypads to make secure transactions, were encrypted and that this strongly reduces risk to customers. In addition to the encrypted PINs, customer names, credit and debit card numbers, card expiration dates and the embedded code on the magnetic strip on back of the cards were stolen from about 40 million credit and debit cards used at Target stores between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15.
Security experts say it's the second-largest theft of card accounts in U.S. history, surpassed only by a scam that began in 2005 involving retailer TJX Cos.
Gartner security analyst Avivah Litan said Friday that the PINs for the affected cards are vulnerable and people should change their codes since such data has been decrypted, or unlocked, before.
Predictions from market experts for 2014
NEW YORK (AP) – It is an understatement to say stock market investors had a good year in 2013. The Standard & Poor's 500 index soared 29 percent, its best year since 1997. Including dividends, it gained 32 percent.
What lies ahead? The AP asked leading market analysts and investment managers where they see the Standard & Poor's 500 index winding up by the end of 2014 and why.
GE study: No need to
expand Hudson River cleanup
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) – General Electric Co. said Friday a study requested by New York state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli shows no need for it to voluntarily expand dredging already underway in a portion of the upper Hudson River contaminated with PCBs.
GE said the scientific and legal analysis shows wildlife in the area is healthy, and any concern about the company getting hit with future liabilities for environmental damage is speculative.
DiNapoli had asked for the review in a shareholder resolution as trustee of the state pension system. He withdrew the resolution after Fairfield, Conn.-based GE agreed to the study earlier this year.
Environmentalists have long been pressing for additional dredging of contaminated sections outside the current Superfund cleanup site north of Albany.

Kevin Kelly was cutting-edge in his youth and with the passage of years he seems to just get sharper. Highlights of his bio include editing and publishing the Whole Earth Catalog which, to refresh my your memory, is a compendium of the best tools for self-education. He later co-founded and edited Wired magazine.
Lesser known (to me) products of his free-thinking mind include the All Species Foundation, dedicated to identifying all living species, and the Long Now Foundation, which "fosters long-term responsibility as an antidote to the extremely short-term horizon of most contemporary organizations." (Ya think we might need some of that?) And he's edited and written a bunch of books, one of which is available for free right here.
Look, Ma, no college!
Kevin freely – nay, proudly – admits that "My educational background is minimal. I am a college drop-out. Instead of going to university, I went to Asia. That was one of the best decisions I ever made." Elsewhere I found this, written in the third person. "He is married and has three wonderful children. He was born in 1952. He has no college or university degrees." See what I mean?
Then when he returned to the U.S. he traveled a lot more before starting a mail order company called Nomadic Books, selling budget travel guides. Which ultimately led to those other publishing successes.
To me it's no surprise that a smart, inquisitive person probably learned much more as an world-traveling auto-didact than he ever could have sitting in classrooms. (I was too meek to drop out of college myself but at least spent some of it bumming around Europe and picking up enough college credits there to satisfy the parents.)
The story of Kevin's religious conversion
I was surprised to find this intriguing note tucked away in his long bio: "On an even more personal note, I told my story of a religious conversion many years ago to Ira Glass, host of This American Life, a public radio series that features long narrative stories…You can find an audio file on the 'This American Life' web site. It is the second story on the program called 'Shoulda Been Dead'". I've downloaded it to my iPod already.
Kevin's Cool Tools and a lot more
Upon entering Kevin's home page the reader discovers:
- Two blogs about technology trends (as best I can tell) – Lifestream and The Technium.
- True Films, which carries short reviews of his favorite "documentaries, educational films, instructional how-to's, and what the British call factuals – a non-fiction visual account." (Hope Netflix has 'em!)
- Screen publishing, most of which is beyond me but I DO understand this link to 7 quick rules for e-publishing.
- Quantified Self, which is "a place for people interested in self-tracking to gather, share knowledge and experiences, and discover resources." Honestly, even with that definition I'm left at "Huh?"
- Street Use, which features "the ways in which people modify and re-create technology." I'll be exploring that one.
- And finally, Cool Tools remind me of turn-ons, though tool contributors are multi-generational. Here's how Kevin explains them: "As my children began to leave home I wanted to give them each a box of tools and a book containing ideas of tools and possibilities that they might not encounter otherwise. I started to keep a list of tools plus my comments. Some of those reviews appeared in issues of Whole Earth Review a magazine I used to edit." The tools cover 41 different categories, everything from crafts to workplace to something called "consumptivity", most of which I'm unqualified to judge, but gardening tools I know a bit about and you know what? They ARE cool. So worth a lot more browsing – or even contributing to.
Hat tip to Steve Brown for turning me on to Kevin's world.Tweet

Where did the summer go? It feels like it just started. We have been planning an excellent continuation of 2012, The YEAR OF THE GIRL, with a number of kick-off events in various areas throughout the fall.
I want to highlight one of these special events we are trying for the first time this year -- Tailgating for a Cause, on Friday evening, August 24, at the Opelika Events Center. It is an adult event, which we don't do too many of, but this is one for that weekend of many events. A little over a year ago we left the United Way in that area with the Boy Scouts because our funding was cut in half annually. We went from $30,000 to $5,000 in a three-year period. When you factor in the amount of time and paperwork maintaining the United Way relationship costs, there was no money left to actually fund the girls in Lee County, which is a strong supportive Scouting community. Since we no longer receive United Way funding in that community, we thought we would try a joint fund raiser there, so we are teaming up with the Chattahoochee Boy Scouts to have an evening of fun and an auction. The event is free, but will include a cash bar, which is why it is an adults only event. Babysitting will be provided at the Girl Scout hut for a nominal fee.
We have some great items for the live and silent auction, including a motorcycle, scooter, trailer, Yeti cooler, Big Green Egg, two Gulf Shores condominiums for a weekend, a week-long stay at a large house on Dauphin Island, a weekend hotel and entertainment package in Mobile with tickets to many sites there, among many others. We want to invite all those of you who want to come out and support Scouting. We hope this will become an annual event in that area to replace funds that we aren't receiving from those who want to support us. Plan on coming and bring some friends. We are asking that you register ahead of the event by calling 1-800-239-6636. Bring your money, and tailgate for a cause!
The next day we have a morning of fun for the kids. The Thin Mint Sprint, a set of races and runs for those expert runners at your household and for those who just enjoy exercising, will be held at Cary Woods Elementary School in Auburn. This is a sanctioned run, so this event does require advance registration. Girl Scouts may use the Event Registration form; non-Girl Scouts can register at http://www.active.com/running/auburn-al-al/girl-scout-5k-and-1-mile-thin-mint-sprint-2012. . If you have questions, call us at 800-239-6636.
We will have all sorts of family fun at Cary Woods Elementary School. Plan on coming to Opelika and Auburn for a fun-filled family weekend!

Alright, thanks Andrew!

Technically, if you wanted to do the payment yourself through paypal but without opening an account (As that's against their TOS, but using it so long as you have a legal means of doing so, which this is is perfectly okay if you're under 18), you could go to a 7/11 anywhere in the U.S. and buy a Vanilla Prepaid Visa. They work with lots of online purchases, and I use them on PP all the time as I don't trust my card online anywhere. I believe they're coming out with a new line of cards that's re fundable so you can put funds on any time with 1/2 the price of funding that you would normally do, and you keep the same card.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (27 votes).
In short: Hills and mudDate of review: October 18, 2012
In short: OOOOFF!!!! Tough but worth it!!!In full: Signed up for this as a hill training race for SNOD and it didn't fall short on the hills!!! The course was lovely but the amount of rain in the week prior made it very boggy (knee deep) and very wet in places, very lucky not to lose a shoe at around 5 miles! A dead lamb and the ongoing pheasant shoot also made for extra quirks along the way! The hills were either long or steep or both, however the downs were on the whole runnable without too much of a problem. I would agree with the need for extra water stations on the 16 miler, had a few issues with cramp in the last couple of miles, as it was a pretty sunny day. However, I did know that there were only 3, so could have not been lazy and carried my own. The signs and marshals were on the whole great, however a 4x4 had parked in front of the gate obscuring the sign indicating we needed to go through the gate so nearly took a wrong turn, fortunately the guy behind had run before so knew where to go. Great camaraderie from the rest of the runners, made for a fab Saturday morning jaunt. Special mention for the medal, I do like a medal, and these are really quirky and unique and a different one for the different distances, Fab!!!Date of review: October 10, 2012
In short: Could quite easily be a classic..In full: Pros: Amazing Scenery / Friendly banter / A real challenge / Excellent Value / Probably the best medal around!Cons: Seriously short of water stations. Only 3 visits in 16 long, slow, arduous miles. Signage is limited and more markings are required. I've done about 30 of these trail runs over the last few years and have got lost only 3 times - twice of these have been at Hogweed Muggles. But it's a great event. I figure if those 2 issues were addressed, it'd be an absolute corker, perhaps my all time favourite. Date of review: October 7, 2012
In short: It was hard, muddy but fun!In full: Great, thanks for a good day and a nice medal. Only suggestion would be another water point around 6-7 miles.ThanksDate of review: October 6, 2012
In short: Can't really fault anything...Date of review: October 21, 2011
In short: This is a big step up from an on-tarmac 1/2 marathon.In full: Am preparing for my first marathon in January. This was a very useful test of my fitness and a good way to run over 13.1mls for the first time. 'Train hard, race easy?' I hope so.Date of review: October 17, 2011
In short: I really enjoyed this race.In full: the scenery was stunning. I thought the course was marked well. Some of the hills were quite soul destroying but the marshalls were very encouraging. Only improvements would be to add 1 or 2 more water stations and I thought the start wasn't very safe (very narrow and uneven)- maybe start half a mile up on the road? I'm being picky though - it was great.Date of review: October 17, 2011
In short: Tougie, but a goodieIn full: Much better organisation this year, with more than enough markings compared to last years effort. Great views, good camaraderie, strong field and long enough to make it a properly memorable outing. One minor gripe would be no water stations for about an hour after mile 4 (we had to cadge some water from a friendly marshalls personal supply!), but that won't stop me being back next year. Great that it's on a Saturday morning, too. Well done!Ps. Great medal!Date of review: October 16, 2011
In short: An undiscovered gemIn full: Excellent off road race with stunning scenery. Very well marshalled compared to last year and a well marked course. Glad to see that the flour on the ground had been replaced by signs! Special mention to the marshals who were cheery, helpful and supportive. For such a stunning, challenging race am surprised that the entry isn't larger. Will be back next year to tackle those hills!Date of review: October 16, 2011
In short: A good off-road jaunt in the cotswoldsIn full: An interesting race, the chip timing seemed a bit over the top, for an off-road race precise timing is not normally the first thing you think of, but perhaps we three races going on virtually simultaneously then perhaps it was necessary. Could have been better marked in place, could have done with more water stations - a gap between 4ish miles and 11ish miles without drinks not ideal, especially as it was a tad warm today! All in all a good fun run!Date of review: October 15, 2011

I approach grief and loss first and foremost with a great deal of respect. It is exceptionally painful to have the loss of control that addictions bring. Our society tends to vilify addiction and this does not align with my personal philosophy. I find most patients unconsciously use their addictions to keep painful emotions buried below the surface. I then try to encourage patients to face these emotions. Once emotions are out, they no longer drive us and we can be in control again.

Concerned about sequester
To the editor:
Congressman King likes to proclaim that he uses common sense in Washington. However, he won't support closing any tax loopholes in order to avoid automatic budget cuts that will kick kids out of Head Start, create long lines at airports, slash funding for students with disabilities, delay meat inspections and so much more.
At the very least he could support closing the tax deduction for yachts. I have never seen a yacht anywhere in Fort Dodge and I doubt any of my neighbors would mind if that loophole was closed.

Hagia Sofia
A Mosque Too Far?
This post, in its original form, was previously posted at the Washington Examiner on Wednesday, August 11, 2010. The following post has been updated for today.
Plans to build an Islamic cultural center right next door to the site of the greatest attack on American soil have generated plenty of controversy. And as plans continue to move forward, more is promised still. Questions as to where the money is coming from to build it, and who exactly its leader, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, really is are likely unresolvable, yet add fuel to the already contentious debate. In fact, today new questions were raised as to the connections of Rauf and his organization (the Cordoba Initiative) to Iran:
Two weeks ago the Cordoba Initiative website featured a photograph of the project's chairman, Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, and Iranian Mohammad Javad Larijani at an event that the Initiative sponsored in Malaysia in 2008. This week, the photograph … has disappeared.
Larijani was the Iranian representative who defended Iran's abysmal human rights record before the UN Human Rights Council in February and June of this year. Among other things, Larijani told the Council: "Torture is one thing and punishment is another thing. … This is a conceptual dispute. Some forms of these punishments should not be considered torture according to our law." By which he meant flogging, amputation, stoning, and the criminalization of homosexuality, which are all part of Iranian legal standards. Larijani added: "Iran [has a] firm commitment to the promotion and protection of human rights. … The Islamic Republic of Iran … is a democracy," which would be news to the pro-democracy activists murdered or confined to Iranian prisons since last year's fraudulent elections.
There may be nothing to these sorts of queries, and it may be that Mr. Rauf and his organization are earnest peace-seekers. Even so, the plan to place a $100 Million structure dedicated to Islam right next to Ground Zero has understandably caused a lot of questions to be asked, although few have elicited answers. Writing for the Ottawa Citizen, Raheel Raza and Tarek Fatah think they can settle one of the burning issues, however: why a mosque at Ground Zero?
When we try to understand the reasoning behind building a mosque at the epicentre of the worst-ever attack on the U.S., we wonder why its proponents don't build a monument to those who died in the attack?
New York currently boasts at least 30 mosques so it's not as if there is pressing need to find space for worshippers. The fact we Muslims know the idea behind the Ground Zero mosque is meant to be a deliberate provocation to thumb our noses at the infidel. The proposal has been made in bad faith and in Islamic parlance, such an act is referred to as "Fitna," meaning "mischief-making" that is clearly forbidden in the Koran. […]
Let's not forget that a mosque is an exclusive place of worship for Muslims and not an inviting community centre. Most Americans are wary of mosques due to the hard core rhetoric that is used in pulpits. And rightly so. As Muslims we are dismayed that our co-religionists have such little consideration for their fellow citizens and wish to rub salt in their wounds and pretend they are applying a balm to sooth the pain.
The Koran implores Muslims to speak the truth, even if it hurts the one who utters the truth. Today we speak the truth, knowing very well Muslims have forgotten this crucial injunction from Allah.
The article's writers are both authors about Islamic politics and culture as well as board members of the Muslim Canadian Congress. Now, I don't know if Raza and Fatah are correct in their assertions, but I have a good reason to believe they may be. Several in fact, two of which I've seen personally.
I was once able to visit Istanbul and Jerusalem where I eagerly toured both the Hagia Sophia and the remains of what is believed to be Solomon's Temple (typically referred to as the Western Wall). Both of these deeply religious sites have been converted to Muslim uses by the building of mosques.
The original Hagia Sophia was a church built by the Emperor Constantine some time in the fourth century, which was subsequently razed on a few different occasions. The Emperor Justinian I erected the current structure in the 530's, and it still stands as one of the best examples of Byzantine architecture in existence. However, when Constantinople finally became Istanbul for good, the Hagia Sophia saw a dramatic change:
… Hagia Sophia remained a functioning church until May 29, 1453, when Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror entered triumphantly into the city of Constantinople. He was amazed at the beauty of the Hagia Sophia and immediately converted it into his imperial mosque.
Hagia Sophia served as the principal mosque of Istanbul for almost 500 years. It became a model for many of the Ottoman mosques of Istanbul such as the Blue Mosque [ed. – which is within sight of of the Hagia Sophia], the Suleiman Mosque, the Shehzade Mosque and the Rustem Pasha Mosque.
No major structural changes were made at first; the addition of a mihrab (prayer niche), minbar (pulpit) and a wooden minaret made a mosque out of the church. At some early point, all the faces depicted in the church's mosaics were covered in plaster due to the Islamic prohibition of figurative imagery. Various additions were made over the centuries by successive sultans.
In short, the conquerors replaced a mighty cultural symbol of the vanquished with one of their own. Fairly standard really, but I still found it a bit odd to walk into one of the oldest Christian churches in the world only to be confronted with giant symbols of Islam everywhere.
Visiting Jerusalem was just as puzzling. I knew that the Western Wall (or Wailing Wall) was all that was left of Herod's expansion of the Temple Mount, but I had not realized that atop it sat not one, but two Islamic holy sites: The Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque. These two religious sites replaced and took over what is considered the holiest of all places on Earth by the Jews, who are forbidden from entering either.
There are, of course, other examples, but it's not as if this sort of conquering behavior is the sole province of Muslims. Indeed, the al-Aqsa Mosque was itself taken over as a church for a brief time by Crusaders.
Even so, it cannot be denied that erecting mosques and other holy sites upon or near places of great cultural significance to their enemies is something to which Muslims seem historically inclined. And while most Muslims may not consider themselves at war with the West, or Americans as an enemy of Islam, those who took down the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001 most certainly did, and still do. That is why I think that Raza and Fatah may be right.
To erect a monument in the form of the Ground Zero Mosque to the nihilistic, death-loving 9/11 terrorists is a slap in the face of everyone they murdered on that day, those who gave up their lives to rescue the survivors, and all of their families and friends. It would be allowing a symbol of enemy victory to desecrate hallowed ground.
Bruce made a great argument as to why, despite whatever intentions the mosque's benefactors may have, it's an affront to individual property rights and the rule of law to use the government to prevent the Ground Zero Mosque from being built.
Basically, I think he's right. But I can't help thinking that if, say, a group of Japanese decided to by some property right next to Pearl Harbor in order to erect a monument or shrine, we as American citizens might find some peaceful and non-coercive way of stopping that from happening.
As for the Ground Zero Mosque, we'll just have to wait and see.[ad#Banner]

Thank you abigail2.
You're welcome unkus. How are you?
Doesn't that Uncle Sam look like Ted Nugent? LOL
Thanks Abigail2. I appreciate the mention...
This Jesse guy tends to slur his words as if he's a bit 'tarded.
Hi DoughtyOne, glad to see you.
The only thing is...he's not, and I dare you to call in the program and say that to his face. He has a cleft lip. (I think it's his lip) I think you will find he is far from slow.
I think Jesse used to have a speech impediment. Who would ever thought that he would overcome that to now speak on national television and radio and to groups across the nation.
It's nice to see you too. I've noticed your threads. Good work. Jessie Lee Peterson is a great person. Poor guy had a lousy chauffeur in Washington, D.C. one night though. He barely made it out alive.
good morning...help us bump Jesse's wonderful show!
Yes, I think God does that to make sure we don't make a god of the messenger....I think someone in the bible stuttered.
Oh, wow! Where did you get that? Is that Barry?
Jesse has been talking about how Obama makes people mad. Next up Moses Miller....author of "The Barack in Me", how Obama influences males.....
Good morning, Moses Miller is talking about the need for a male role model. He is saying the "inner Barack" is an example of being a good example to blacks by accomplishing so much.They are discussing whether a woman should put God before her husband or her husband first.
Jesse is explaining his position, that blacks are too into their blackness and not being into themselves. He is saying get away from color altogether.
Call in 888 775-3773 or email@example.com!!
Jesse says that it is amazing and nothing is stopping it.
They are talking about the use of the word "apartheid" used to intimidate whites into not speaking up.
They are saying they want to have more local programs..get rid of Rush, and Sean and have more Acorn types.....I get so frustrated listening to this, because I know it's true...
www.donttouchmydial.com is the website for you to be a part of the movement to prevent this......
Found on Rogers Web site...
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.
-- Rev. William John Henry Boetcker, 1873
Doing well, thanks. Thanks for all your good work abigail12.
Your home page always makes me smile.
Oh, thanks! I should update it!! Been around for a long time.
New caller talks about how blacks "call out people" which I don't understand what that is. Jesse says that because the blacks are not connected with God they have to have something else, so they attach to their color. Has God given blacks a 'reprobate' mind? Jesse agrees!! It must be hard to admit your people are so lost! Jesse says "not all, not all...." but still the others are so out there, and so dumb!
Caller says that blacks let white people do stuff, like the athletes that make multi-million dollars they dont start their own companies but let companies like Nike get all the money....
Ronald from Los Angeles calls in...reminds Jesse that this is the MANHOOD HOUR!!! Uh Oh,,,,Jesse will have it tomorrow........Ronald says that black men are afraid of the court system. Jesse says they are afraid of everything because they have their mama's spirit. Jesse wants to show men how to get rid of that woman nature and be A REAL MAN!!
Caller is nervous because Jesse doesn't BELIEVE in the bible. Jesse is trying to get him to see that the bible is not God. You need to believe in GOD. If you were in a cave and saw writing on the wall talking about the sun, it's yellow, its warm, that doesnt mean you knew the sun. If you went out of the cave and saw the sun in the sky and felt it's affects on your body, it's warmth, etc then you would 'know' the sun....same with God!! He wants you to believe in HIM! (that was MY example about the sun, not Jesse's)
Good afternoon, abigail.
Missed it again...*sigh*
There shouldn't be that conflict in a marriage.
I'm about ready for another hit on the bong...
Hooray for Jesse!!
Appreciate the updates!!
Has Jesse had former Rep. J.C.Watts on his show????
Ok blackie...I'm giving you another chance...
Not lately. I'm not sure if or when...I will suggest it!
Good idea witt...
Missed again...*sigh*

Great product!
Posted by Reviewer3143958 on Dec 23, 2012
I'm so sorry two customers got a bad batch or bottles. Mine is 2014 expiration and very fresh. I don't normally take the time to review products and I use I Herb all the time. This product doesn't deserve such a low rating. These are two key supplements in one and recommended in Dr Mark Hyman's book "Blood Sugar Solutions" for detoxification. I'm reordering.
Good for Healthy Metabolism
Posted by Reviewer2752777 on May 17, 2013
This product is definitely much better than the ratings would imply. I take one capsule a day with my morning meal and it gives me more energy throughout the day. The two negative reviews below mention capsule contents shrinking and a certain smell to the capsules. I have experienced this as well. But neither issue has caused me any alarm or seemed to affect the efficacy of the product.
Enhancing Supplement

The Technology Laboratory of Uruguay (LATU), an innovation hub in Montevideo, hosted our fifth TechCamp to support Secretary Clinton's Civil Society 2.0 initiative to build the digital literacy of civil society organizations around the world.
At a large campus with a vibrant feel, TechCamp Montevideo welcomed more than 50 civil society organizations working in the education field from across the Western Hemisphere, including Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic. Ten top technology experts from a variety of fields including online learning, mobile language programs, open source education platforms, and data mapping also joined us in Montevideo to examine the cross sections of education and technology. Even though some of the participants had to take flights with multiple layovers, all were committed and engaged throughout the two days.
Hosted in partnership with the Government of Uruguay -- whose sponsorship of laptops for youths has seen amazing success for education among children in the country -- TechCamp provided an opportunity for participants to interact with expert technologists through a series of training sessions and small group discussions. Many of the discussions focused on virtual student and teacher exchanges (Exchange 2.0) as well as learning about platforms for mobile-based English language learning.
In somce cases, TechCamp participants applied lessons learned from the discussions in real time. For example, a Guatemalan education civil society organization partnered with an expert technologist to build a customized map of education data, which shows standard test scores from Education Technology Centers across Guatemala. The map they created was made operational during TechCamp, and you can view it here.
Other civil society representatives at TechCamp participated in training sessions hosted by iEARN, a non-profit that connects teachers and students to work together online on collaborative projects. Several of those representatives formed new partnerships that will now bring iEARN to Mexico, Peru, and Honduras.
These outcomes are only the beginning. More collaborations and continued follow-up are occurring among TechCamp Montevideo participants. And, you can join the conversation around technology in education, too! Learn more about Montevideo and other State Department hosted TechCamps at techcampglobal.org.

TeenServe volunteers looking for local homes needing work
By NIKKI YOUNK
Staff Writer
IRON MOUNTAIN – Participants in the TeenServe youth outreach organization will be returning to the area this summer to help local residents with basic home improvement work.
Between 60 and 80 homes will receive free services, but only 25 home owners have expressed interest so far.
Homes within 25 miles of the North Dickinson School in Felch are eligible. This area includes Felch, Sagola, Channing, and Iron Mountain.
The TeenServe mission will run from Sunday, June 23 through Saturday, June 29.
During the summer of 2011, 466 TeenServe volunteers from eight different states gathered in Norway. They completed repairs to 74 local homes.
Patricia Barbeau of Iron Mountain was one of the local residents who received free home repairs in 2011. She said that she was pleased with the work volunteers did in painting the exterior of her home.
Besides painting, TeenServe volunteers can make or repair wheelchair ramps, steps, porches, and decks.
Since TeenServe is working in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity's A Brush With Kindness program, all services to local residents are free.
TeenServe is a one-week mission trip for junior and senior high school youth groups and their adult chaperones. They work on home improvement projects for the needy during the day, then gather to hear a speaker and live band at night.
"We need people to call in and apply for services," said TeenServe Publicity Chair Gail Robert. "You will be helping us to give these young people and their adult leaders the opportunity to grow in their faith and service by allowing them to work on your home."
To apply for TeenServe services, call 1-800-596-3498.
