Re: Beach Lane
I really enjoyed Beach Lane. I found it very hard to put down this latest installment of the Chesapeake Shores series. I was pleased to see how Mack and Susie let their chemistry flow, and worked out their issues, when so many would have given up. I'm hoping that there will be more Chesapeake Shores to come in the future!(Sandi Shilhanek 7:08pm April 24, 2011)
Of all the O'Brians, I went in to this book feeling like I knew very little about Susie. The only thing I was clear on was that she and Mack were "just friends." I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy this book since I didn't feel particularly connected with the characters. Thanks to Ms. Woods deft writing, that changed quickly. It is clear that Mack and Susie are meant to be together, they just need to trust it for themselves. Circumstances force them to step up and fight for the future they both long for. Beach Lane is romantic, heartbreaking, and tender... Chesapeake Shores at its best!(Maria Munoz 9:28pm May 2, 2011)
I can't get through Sherryl Woods's books fast enough, and I'm waiting for more. Great writing without all that stuff that other authors seem to think that they need to write about.(Jean Mangels 12:35pm May 13, 2011)
Beach Lane was my favorite of this year's O'Brien Trilogy. I think that both Mack and Susie truly came into their own in this story, and was enchanted from the beginning to the end. I became a fan of Ms. Woods with her Sweet Magnolia's series, and Beach Lane has cemented my fandom.(Sandi Shilhanek 9:25am June 8, 2011)

A New York judge will hear arguments on Tuesday in a lawsuit that challenges Republican Sen. Ted Cruz's ability to run for president given that he was born in Canada.
State Supreme Court Justice David Weinstein will hear the claim of two men who contend that Cruz is not a citizen of the U.S. and is therefore ineligible to run for president, NBC has reported. Cruz was born in Alberta, Canada.
RELATED: Trump: Cruz's Canadian birthplace could be 'big problem' for GOP
Barry Korman and William Gallo will argue that despite Cruz's mother being an American, the senator is not a citizen because such status cannot be passed from parent to child, Newsday reported.
The defense of Cruz's place in the election is being argued by the New York Board of Elections, which put Cruz on the ballot, NBC added.

The end of the women's ready-to-wear runway shows in Paris means the fashion focus will soon be on the City of Angels and its biannual crazy quilt of style-centric activities.
Most of the events are set to take place during a 12-day run that gets underway Oct. 10 and ends on Oct. 21, with the last day of L.A. Fashion Weekend at Sunset Gower Studios.
And most are for buyers and media only, but there are a few exceptions. The most notable of these this season is a runway show and fundraiser organized by Fashion Business Inc. to be hosted by Melissa Rivers and comedian Brett Walkow on Oct. 16 at downtown Los Angeles' Union Station.
Dubbed "All Aboard ... L.A.'s Fashion Platform," the event is to include a cocktail reception at 6 p.m. followed by a runway show at 7:30 p.m. Organizers describe the show as "a nod to 1930s films and the lore of the locomotive." It is expected to showcase 11 California-based labels, including Unspoken Lingerie, Johnny Was, Living Doll Los Angeles, Sam & Lavi, XCVI, Continuous Line, Liberty Sage, Gelareh Designs, shapewear brand Miraclesuit and menswear line Krammer & Stoudt.
The event also will feature the presentation of the Moss Adams Fashion Innovator Award, an honor that in past years has been bestowed on labels including Petro Zillia, Frankie B. and last year's honoree Nally and Millie.
Fashion Business Inc.'s "All Aboard ... L.A.'s Fashion Platform," Union Station, 800 N. Alameda St. Tickets $20 for members, $40 for nonmembers; available at http://www.fashionbizinc.org.
Also on the calendar
Kicking off the Los Angeles Fashion Week calendar this season is a two-day event for media and buyers organized by the newly minted Los Angeles Fashion Council. The group's inaugural hometown event is scheduled to take place Oct. 10 and 11 in the MacArthur Park section of Los Angeles.
According to organizer Kelsi Smith, runway shows will unspool both days from 1 to 7 p.m. and all participating designers also will show their collections in an on-site showroom, which will include accessory designers.
To date, the list of participating labels includes GAIN, Korovilas, ISM Mode, White Sycamore, Shallow Fashion, Kittinhawk, Bijou Van Ness, Pop Molly, the Bohemian Society and Jen Awad.
Los Angeles Fashion Council, Carondelet House, 627 S. Carondelet St. Information: http://www.losangelesfashioncouncil.org.
Project Ethos is combining efforts with the Downtown Los Angeles Art Walk for the first time. The result will be a public event on Oct. 11 that includes 9:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. runway shows featuring emerging designers such as Jose Galeana (Galeana Designs) and Lawren Michele Cappelletti (Lawren Michele). Capping off the evening — pun intended — will be an 11:30 p.m. show featuring the latest from the Goorin Brothers hat line.
Project Ethos at L.A. Fashion Week, Exchange L.A., 618 S. Spring St. Tickets $20 general admission and $50 VIP available at projectethos.tv.
Concept Los Angeles, which has staged its runway shows and presentations at Ace Gallery Los Angeles on Wilshire Boulevard for several seasons, is relocating to Siren Studios in Hollywood for a single day of invitation-only fashion presentations (starting at noon) and runway shows (starting at 1 p.m.) on Oct. 13.The roster has yet to be announced.
Concept Los Angeles, Siren Studios, 6063 W. Sunset Blvd. Information: http://www.conceptshows.com.
Style Fashion Week L.A. returns to the
Vibiana downtown Oct. 15-19. According to organizers, this season will include more than 30 runway shows by brands from near
(L.A. labels Madison Park Collective and Local Socialite) and far (including Alexia Monsanto from the Philippines and Furne One from Dubai) as well as the GenArt "Fresh Faces in Fashion" show Oct. 17. (Invitees only.)
Style Fashion Week L.A., Vibiana, 214 S. Main St. Information: http://www.stylefashionweek.com.
L.A. Fashion Weekend will return to Sunset Gower Studios for a three-day run Oct. 19-21, and although the designer lineup has yet
to be announced, organizers expect to present at least three multi-brand runway shows, one dedicated to swimwear labels,
a second to emerging designers and a
third showcasing women's contemporary brands.
These will be open to invitees only.
But one part of the L.A. Fashion Weekend lineup that is open to the general public is
the second annual charity runway event benefiting the Public Counsel law center that
is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Oct. 21.
Tickets for the fundraiser, which range from $50 (standing room) to $500 (front row), can be bought by phone at (213) 385-2977, Ext. 141, or by emailing email@example.com.

It says a lot about a knife when you don't have to try to like it, and maybe even like it in spite of yourself. Heh. I didn't used to care for barlows, but that's before I began using them.
it's just comfortable and enjoyable to use.
It doesn't get better than that, regardless of price range and/or origin.

We have an old house and the toilet does not flush as well as it should. Water comes out OK, but it doesn't always go down easily. I suspect replacing the flushing mechanism would help, but the toilet is on an un-level floor with the rear higher than the front. Using a level and a ruler its slightly more than a 1/4 inch off (3/8th, 5/16th?).
Is this enough of a distance to affect the flushing?
Is there a product to help me shim the toilet or do I need to make a shim out of plywood and a plane?

is that the RPG texture pack I see?
I'm getting it.
I'm not getting it.
I never heard of it until now.
I'm getting it. I may stop playing Minecraft.
is that the RPG texture pack I see?
Does this game really have anything going for it? Yeah 31 player multiplayer sounds nice, but not with the shitty community that they have already accumulated even before release.
Gosh guys, why are people bagging on him? He knows its a ripoff of Minecraft, hes not stupid. He wants to make some money+spread minecraft to consoles.
"OH he is so gay omg its pretty much minecraft"
Obviously. I say props to him. FUCK YALL HATERZ
Bwahaha, it used to have a twitter feed on the homepage, but the owner took it off because all it was was people calling it a ripoff of Minecraft.
We win again!
If he respected notch at all he wouldn't have done it. If notch wanted it to be on consoles he would have expressed it himself, and really what this guy is doing is keeping Minecraft from getting new players because people will play this because it's cheaper.
Top quality posting right here. ^
We're "bagging on him" because he is taking advantage of Minecraft's popularity to make a quick buck. He isn't doing the community a favor by putting this alternate game on the consoles.
Idc if its late, rate me dumb.
But, Personally, I'm happy for Notch's Success. Frankly, if he wants to go spend ALL the cash he's made on weed, durgs or alcohol, I'd be perfectly happy with it. He deserves it for delivering OC to the world. (TROLOL MC was just a ripoff too!) No, it wasnt. It was a game recreated and made perfect. FortressCraft is a ripoff of a ripoff, with no effort.
My stand is pretty clear. But I just wanted to justify Notch's "Vacations" and "Office-Jousting". The man deserves it; he's human like everyone else, simply celebrating his success with foolishness.
>Graduate Highschool
>Get wasted
>Get Laid.
Same concept.
Hi guys. I'm Nick, the guy developing RogueMiner. There seems to be a heated discussion here, so I'm not sure what to say. But I'd be happy to answer any of your questions. :)
He stated in the documentary that he's not trying to be Valve or anything. He made a game for fun, and people started throwing money at him.
Well, atleast my console fag friends can play minecraft.
Which would take longer, this guy finishing the game or Mojang making an XBLIG compatible version of MC?
By "Finishing", do you mean all the chapters or just the first?
Finished as in, put on the market so the general audience of the xbox see's it and asssumes it's an original idea.
Since a iOS/Android version is in the works a 360/PS3 version would be the next logical step.
I am going get Fortresscraft and stop playing minecraft. I am also going see if I can donate money to the creator.
You aren't fooling anyone with your trickery. Trolling needs to be subtle. We need to believe that you are sharing your sincere opinion.
I think its awesome that hes doing it. I would love to chill with an xbox controller in my hand and play with 30 of my closest friends over xbox. And if the games is badly made no one will buy it. Easy as that.
HD graphics with blocky models do not mix
Supposed to be with my last post ^ but whatever
The world isn't about "respect". If people can make money they are going to do it. No one cares about "feelings". And Notch isn't "EXPRESSING HIMSLEF" through Minecraft. It's his job, that he happens to enjoy also.
You're underestimating the stupidity of console gamers.
Well I guess Call of Duty is one of the top games of all xbox history........you're right
Good god this looks ugly. I think I'll stick to the nostalgic feeling Minecraft gives me.
Right now this just looks like a blocky as hell Penumbra game.
If i were notch id be slightly annoyed yet feel complimented at the same time
I don't see why people don't like it.It looks good,but it's not going to be as good as Minecraft.
We keep having to repeat this.
We dont like it because He's charging money for a clone, and he's being a pompous dick about it, acting as if it's his god given right to sell other people ideas.
He's simply putting Minecraft on the Xbox.Big fucking deal.I still don't know why people dislike it.
He is taking advantage of another persons creativity and branding by trying to sell his own knockoff version. Changing the name to "Fortresscraft" and slapping on extra features is just an underhanded attempt at deception.
If that isn't reason enough, the developer is also behaving like a child in his responses to accusations over how he has basically copied Minecraft.
Notch didn't invent quads or the word craft, stop being so defensive, this is coming from someone who thinks both games are shit and unoriginal.
This is the PR of FortressCraft, just look at him!
His name is "DJ KEEMSTAR", he wont even show his real name.

We'll miss you, Ann Curry! The Today host announced this morning that she is stepping down from her anchor post to become NBC's national/international correspondent. To her loyal fans, she said, "You are the real Today show family. You are why I've ventured into dangerous places, interviewed dictators, and jumped off of planes. I've loved you and wanted to give you the world. And I still do." She added, "For all of you who watched, thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me touch yours." In return, longtime anchor Matt Lauer said, "You've made us better and we thank you from the bottom of our heart." As do we!

Serious Question ...
(though I expect to be flamed as a troll)
I just read the Pitt OP about what Clinton Left Out during his speech Wednesday. http://www.democraticunderground.com/101641128 In this OP he cited to Clinton's establishment of DADT, as a negative; arguably, it was in that it required people to be silent on who/what they are. While I believe that no one should have to be silent, wasn't DADT a major, and positive, policy shift, when viewed in comparison to the policy in place before DADT? Being a Black man, I recognize that change comes all too slowly; but I have learned that steps in the right direction (though not all) are to be welcomed, as they set the stage for accomplishing the ultimate goal. Again ... I'm not trying to offend anyone; just asking a question to help reconcile my thoughts and experiences with your's.

1. I was not in favor of DADT . . .
I thought the time was right to make a hard push for something more substantial. It seemed like a cop-out to me.
However, some of my gay friends thought it was better than doing nothing at all. I believe Clinton gave up on gay rights after trying unsuccessfully to push for health care reform. |

3. Kind of, but as I wrote earlier . . .
I really believed that it was the right time to put forth some really bold policies for equality. I don't believe that all reform has to necessarily be made in incremental steps. Sometimes, when momentum is on your side, you have to come up screaming.

5. HHhhhhmm
It was one step backward....but no pain, no gain.
I agree that incrementalism often works in tandem with activism...and activism can cause pushback. I did not vote for Clinton's re-election but in hind sight I was perhaps too tough on him. He did further the conversation even if DOMA or DADT were steps backwards. Activism often creates the safe space for incrementalists to negotiate the terms of surrender. |

6. Question
Do you think that Obama's support for gay marriage will further the conversation of gay rights in the African American community?
I just heard the President of the NAACP speak at an HRC dinner and literally wept when I heard him talk about his mixed marriage parents struggle to have their marriage legally recognized and his comparison of that experience to gay marriage. |

7. Further? ...
Probably not ...The Black community's support of President Obama is separate and apart from many issues, including Gay Rights.
Further, the Black community's position, especially that of the Black church, on Gay Rights is complicated to say the least. Being Black and/but not Gay and not particularly religious; but having spent time active in a church, I have always wondered how the Black church can be so anti-Gay rights, when 2/3 of the people standing behind the "Right Reverend Pastor" are Gay. |

8. Thanks for Responding
While trying not to overgeneralize, I agree that I have never understood the complex relationship between the black church and gay rights. I suspect that for many black ministers, it's no different than so many other homophobes....black or white.....the most homophobic....whether a minister or a politician or other civic leader....are usually living in the closet (that famous minister in Atlanta comes to mind although I've forgotten his name). 'Me thinks the man doth protest too much.'
However, I am optimistic that many black ministers are changing their tune. Polls in Maryland show the strongest support ever for gay marriage and I give Obama credit for his leadership on the issue. And the traditionally white gay rights leadership is becoming far more diverse on all levels....national and local. The NAACP vote supporting gay marriage almost unanimously was AWESOME. That's coalition building. Thanks for your thoughts. |

Those Will Witnesses Are Not Heirs
Witnesses to a will can be related to the person signing the will, but they usually are not to be heirs of the estate. Witnesses can be related to your ancestor signing the will. They can be associates of your ancestor. Or the witness could be a person of legal age who happened to be around when your ancestor signed the will and simply knew who your ancestor was.

Sun Rise Cowley Road
Very cool this morning as the Sun was just coming up over Oxford on the Cowley Road. Looks like it is going to be a nice day with the sky very clear, and you can see the moon in this photo looking up the Cowley Road. Very quiet, but I am sure it will not be like that for long, as this road is almost always very busy.

Wraparound sunglasses for Nike, an underwater camera, an orange bubbly vinyl cover for a Pet Shop Boys CD, a Swatch telephone shaped like an inner sole and Wallace and Gromit are just a few of the things that will greet visiting dignitaries meeting the Foreign Secretary.
The collection was chosen by the Design Council to highlight the fact that British designers with an international profile can put back the fun into functional.
But it is more than a beauty contest. "Foreign ambassadors may be amused and encouraged to use the mobile phones, cameras and sunglasses," Mr Cook believes.
The display will stand for at least a year, and the exhibition will only be changed once because not many statesmen visit twice.
The first step in a Foreign Office initiative to brand Britain abroad, Robin Cook hopes that it will " get across the message on the quality of British design".
Carefully avoiding any reference to "Cool Britannia", the Foreign Secretary explained that he was following a tradition set by Palmerston, who was "ruthless about promoting British trade".
The Fisher Price camera for children instantly prints out the image taken onto fax paper patterned with the background of a hundred dollar bill, or a TV screen framing it, or a speak bubble. Its microchip is made in Scotland, the rest is made in the Far East, the client is American and you can't buy it in Britain. But Mr Cook isn't fussed.
" Sure, I'd rather that historically we had explored the strength of British design. But there are still 25,000 people across Britain employed in design. The design industry is a big industry. And yes, who wouldn't want to see more made in Britain? But sometimes it is appropriate to manufacture elsewhere."
Two buildings - Alsop and Stormer's 'Le Grande Bleue' regional HQ for the council in Marseilles and Norman Foster's Reichstag in Berlin - are included in the showcase. The Government is as interested in the design of buildings as in products.
So what would the Foreign Secretary like most?
"Should we ever serve canned drinks, I shall crush the cans afterwards" he said, demonstrating the bottle green Attila can crusher - and proving that his 18th century table was too flimsy for this robust activity.

wikiHow to Trunk'n Treat
A Trunk 'n Treat is a safe and fun alternative to the original door to door approach to Halloween for children. Families prepare trunks of cars parked close together or booths that children can walk around to, and receive prizes or candy. The following are steps and tips to help families create successful, fun booths.
1Decide whether you'll use trunks or booths. If you're preparing trunks, have families park the cars somewhere safe together in a shape like a circle or rows (aisles).
2Choose a theme to decorate the trunk or booth. Each family can choose a theme for their own trunk booth. It can be made comfortable for family members to sit around with chairs, beanbags, etc. Some possible themes include:
- A farm
- Ghosts and spooky creatures
- A famous musical or musician
- A pumpkin display
- A safari
- A pyjama party
- A favorite or recent movie
- Animals
- Car fan's items
- Hawaiian theme
- Favorite book or cartoon characters
- Chocolate and candy theme
- A day at the beach, etc.
3Have food like hot dogs, burgers, fries, etc. available for everyone to share. Perhaps organize some people to be in charge of serving food but have everyone contribute to the food supplied.
4Offer games so that the children can win prizes such as candies, chocolate and little toys. Run the games near or at your trunk or booth, or find a central space for everyone to gather near the cars or booths. Decide what type of game you want to prepare. They don't need to be elaborate but they should offer a lot of opportunities to win prizes. Some game ideas include:
5Decide what supplies you will need to prepare for the game an make a sign that has a title of your game.
- Do you want the children to win a prize or receive candy?
6Dress up in a child-friendly costume. Have your own children dress in a similar theme if you've chosen a theme for the vehicle or booth.
7Wait for children to show up at your trunk. Get to the place in plenty of time to set up so that cars or booths aren't being set up when children are about.

- Think like a child! What games did you enjoy when you were younger?
- Pick candy or prizes children will enjoy and work hard to win.

Obama Says U.S. Aims to Raise Cost for Russia in Ukraine
Roger Runningen and Nicole GaouettePresident Barack Obama said the U.S. and its allies will keep raising pressure on Russia to back down in Ukraine and held open the possibility of further sanctions if Vladimir Putin's government doesn't respond.
Obama spoke at the White House after his administration restricted visas for Ukrainian officials and others, including Russians, who it says are threatening Ukraine's sovereignty. He also authorized financial sanctions, leaving the imposition of any restrictions until later.
"These decisions continue our efforts to impose a cost on Russia," Obama said, adding that the actions were taken in close coordination with European allies.
He also said a proposed referendum pushed by separatist leaders in Russian-majority Crimea to return the Black Sea peninsula to Russia would violate the Ukrainian constitution as well as international law.
"We are well beyond the days when borders can be redrawn over the heads of democratic leaders," Obama said.
The impact of U.S. actions depends on whether the European Union joins in. Leaders of the 28-nation bloc meeting in Brussels today halted trade and visa negotiations with Russia and prepared sanctions against selected Russian officials amid disagreements about how fast to move.
Depending on EU
"Economic pressure essentially depends on Europeans taking strong actions, because Europe receives nearly half of Russia's exports, while the United States only takes 3 percent," Anders Aslund, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, said in an e-mailed statement. "London is Russia's financial market."
The standoff already is having an economic impact. The ruble slid 0.9 percent against the central bank's dollar-euro basket by 9:52 p.m. in Moscow. Russia's Micex Index dropped 1 percent, extending its decline this week to 7.4 percent. About $55 billion was erased from the value of the nation's equities on March 3 after Russian lawmakers approved troop deployments to Ukraine.
In an earlier White House statement, the administration urged Russia "to resolve this crisis through direct and immediate dialogue with the government of Ukraine." It also demanded an "immediate pullback of Russia's military forces to their bases."
No Names
Administration officials didn't name any individuals targeted by the visa restrictions or as potential subjects for sanctions. Some visas have been pulled or soon will be, according to the officials, who briefed reporters on condition that they not be identified.
U.S. Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a Florida Republican, said at a House hearing that the administration's steps toward sanctions "are moves in the right direction, but now we must name and shame these persons."
House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, supported the actions taken by the White House, saying they are a "first step" in dealing with a "national emergency."
Hours after Obama spoke, the Republican-led House voted to allow about $1 billion in loan guarantees for Ukraine that had been sought by the administration. Senate leaders support the loan guarantees though the chamber hasn't scheduled a vote on the issue.
Setting Framework
Obama's order authorizing sanctions puts in place a legal framework and raises the U.S. threat level against Russia and critics of Ukraine's interim government if conditions don't improve.
"This executive order is a flexible tool that will allow us to sanction those who were most directly involved in destabilizing Ukraine, including military intervention in Crimea," Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew told the House Ways and Means Committee today.
The executive order comes a day after the U.S. announced increased participation in NATO's air-policing mission on the Baltic peninsula in response to the crisis in Ukraine. The U.S. already suspended all military cooperation with Russia in reaction to the incursion into the Crimea region.
The administration officials said the actions were being used in an effort to isolate Russia. Should Russia choose to de-escalate the situation, U.S. officials would take that into account as decisions are made on further action, one of the administration officials said.
Increasing Pressure
Obama, in the executive order issued this morning, authorized Lew to take any further steps needed to carry out the directive. Other sanctions could include the freezing of assets or blocking American companies or individuals from doing business with Russians or Ukrainians or others deemed a threat to Ukraine's security.
At a hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee today, Eric Rubin, deputy assistant secretary in the State Department's European bureau, said it would be essential to work swiftly to help relieve "the perilous economic pressure Ukraine finds itself in under Russian pressure" and because of mismanagement by former governments.
Beyond a $1 billion loan guarantee announced yesterday, he said the U.S. would provide "increased technical assistance and other forms of aid."

You've got to accessorize.
Man, technology can do amazing things, can't it? Take this TomTom XL340S LIVE GPS unit. Right now a satellite, a giant bundle of metal and wires and plastic that we shot into space, is circling the globe and beaming positional data to everyone with a connected device! Isn't that nuts? Think of how hard it must be to figure out the logistics of an operation like that?
Or just ask Apple.
For the three of you who didn't hear, Apple and Google are in a ridiculous patent slap fight which led to the Google Maps app being removed from the latest incarnation of the iPhone and the new iOS.

But lucky for you we're offering a solution! You're only using that map app illegally when you're in the car, right? So why not just have a GPS in your car? Yes, multi-use tools are all the rage but a phone with a GPS app that doesn't actually work isn't really adding any functionality, is it?

The Wachovia Moravian — a window to a Church's world
One of the best resources for Moravian Church study is the monthly newspaper, The Wachovia Moravian. Over 77 years, from March 1893 to August 1970 The Wachovia Moravian recorded the life and activities of the Moravian Church, Southern Province. Ministers and missionaries, workers and laity all contributed their portion of the historical record as chronicled by The Wachovia Moravian. Church and secular events, baptisms, marriages, deaths, even advertisements provide a window to the world as seen by The Wachovia Moravian. Now The Wachovia Moravian has been digitized and is made available here for all to enjoy. The digitizing and Internet presentation of The Wachovia Moravian is funded entirely by Friends of the Moravian Archives. If you like what you see, you too can help support the work of the Moravian Archives by your own donation through PayPal.
This "edition" of The Wachovia Moravian is taken from microfilms. The issues from March 1893 through December 1914 were provided courtesy of the North Carolina Newspaper Project of the North Carolina Office of Archives and History. The remaining issues to August 1970 were microfilmed from the collection of the Moravian Archives, Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Every issue is computer searchable except for an occasional "white" copy (for example, March 1893). The handwritten dates on many of the issues were kindly provided by the late Burton and Anna Snyder, more widely known as devoted band members of Fairview Moravian Church. It must be remembered that those who wrote for The Wachovia Moraviandid so with the most advanced insight of their time, which to our more finely attuned sensibilities may seem quaint or even offensive. But they were doing their best in presenting the mission field history for such remote lands (at the time) as Nicaragua, Alaska, Southern Africa, India. We salute them for their pioneer labors. A word of caution and a call for patience: These files are in Adobe Acrobat and can best be viewed using Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 (http://get.adobe.com/reader/). They are large files. They will take "forever" to download. Pick a year. Tell your machine to get to work. Go brew a cup of Moravian coffee while it does its job. Then sit back and enjoy reading the "latest news" from The Wachovia Moravian.

All hail the Imperial guard! Hi everyone. I used to be a regular at Star Trek.com on their TOS site. However, what I knew and loved is gone, so I moved on. I like it here, and there are great, friendly members here. So this os one of my summer homes. BTW, I am know for throwing a post party or two. I hope that it is not frowned upon ...
I know a few things about those parties, Bro , I've had the first one from you and it was a pleasant surprise
Hi all, just found this thread. (Also saying hi to Bro and Boco above me...nice to see you guys as always. I have no clue if this board's rules would allow post parties.) I'm glad this seems like a friendly and sane Trek-oriented board. I'm happy to be here! And though I'm shy in real life, I'm looking forward to getting chatty here. Just a bit about myself... I am familiar with various ST series, but TOS is my favorite show. I love McCoy, Kirk, and Spock, the "holy trinity" of Trek...and as Bro and Boco have long known, I am madly and shamelessly in love with Dr. McCoy. Thanks for having me here!
^ Boco! "Dahling"! I didn't know you were still online. Don't apologize. You brought me to this board so that's good enough! Still at work?
I prefer DeForest Kelley. Judging by your avatar, I'm assuming you prefer him too. Maybe we can share him...which half do you want? BTW, I got your friend request and accepted, thanks so much!!
Hi Nurse M Hi kristen187. For a moment Nurse M, I thought you were kristen187 :blush: :facepalm: Why? It seems that you both LUV Dr. McCoy so I am really gonna have some FUN with this ... muhahahahahah!!!!!
^ Silly Bro! That's funny. We're not the same person, although my real life name is similar to her screenname. Don't tease us too much about liking McCoy...you'll make us cry and McCoy will have to put you to sleep with his hypo.
I should have warned Bro that you're not her, MS!I didn't forget on purpose! To me it was obvious.. I'm glad we're sticking together here too! I wonder if there's someone that likes Archer like I do...

Mr HOCKEY (Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service) (5:41 PM)
—I move:
That this bill be now read a second time.
Today I am introducing the Workplace Relations Amendment (A Stronger Safety Net) Bill 2007.
This bill establishes a fairness test to strengthen the safety net for agreement-making in the national workplace relations system.
The new fairness test will enhance the safety net for over 7.5 million Australians making workplace agreements. It will allow employers and employees to modify or exclude protected award conditions, but only where employees are fairly compensated.
The fairness test will guarantee employees fair compensation in lieu of conditions such as penalty rates and overtime and shift loadings.
With this bill workers must be paid more, not less.
The stronger safety net will provide significant additional protection for vulnerable employees, including young people and workers from a non-English-speaking background.
This bill will reassure Australian workers that when they enter into a workplace agreement, it will be a fair one that has been approved by an independent statutory authority.
This bill builds on the important employment and workplace relations reforms undertaken by this government in 1996 and again in 2006.
This bill is an important part of an employment and workplace relations system that has helped reduce unemployment to a rate of 4.4 per cent and create more than two million jobs over the last 11 years.
This bill will ensure that Australia's future economic prosperity is bolstered by a flexible and modern workplace relations system.
It was never the intention that it may become the norm for protected award conditions such as penalty rates to be traded off without proper compensation.
There was concern amongst some in the community, however, that trading off penalty rates and other loadings, without fair compensation, might occur with adverse consequences for final take-home pay.
The introduction of the fairness test is accompanied by the establishment of two independent statutory offices—the Workplace Authority Director and the Workplace Ombudsman—to play pivotal roles in maintaining the safety net.
This bill will require the Workplace Authority to apply the fairness test to ensure that workplace agreements provide fair compensation in lieu of protected award conditions such as penalty rates.
If an agreement does not pass the fairness test, it will need to be changed so that it is fair and the employer will have to make up any back pay.
The Workplace Ombudsman will ensure that employers comply with their legal obligations in regard to the fairness test.
The Workplace Ombudsman will strengthen the policing role which has been undertaken by the Office of Workplace Services.
The government is providing significant funding to ensure that these functions are well resourced.
This legislation will make it clear that employers cannot dismiss an employee because a workplace agreement fails or may fail the fairness test.
The legislation will also make it clear that employers cannot coerce existing employees into modifying or removing protected award conditions.
Finally, the legislation will also make it clear that when an employer takes over a business they cannot require an employee to sign an Australian workplace agreement as a condition of continued employment.
For outworkers, the prohibition on the reduction of their special protections is retained unchanged.
The changes introduced in this bill will ensure that the opportunities and flexibilities inherent in the national workplace relations system are used but not abused.
The national system
The Workplace Relations Act 1996 provides a national regulatory framework for Australian workers. The framework offers flexibility and choice for employees and employers in agreement making.
This choice and flexibility is producing good outcomes for the economy, with sustainable and strong jobs growth and historically low unemployment a dominant feature of the economy.
This choice and flexibility is essential for meeting the work and family needs of working women and men.
Australian working women and men also want a fair and robust safety net of working conditions protected by the law.
And the system provides this, as well as strong, enforceable protections against discrimination and breaches of freedom of association.
Since the reforms commenced in March 2006, more than 326,000 new jobs have been created—85 per cent of these are full-time.
Significantly, the unemployment rate has dropped to 4.4 per cent in April 2007, its lowest level since November 1974.
Real wages, which have risen by 23.4 per cent over the life of the coalition government, have continued to grow, and strikes in 2006 reached the lowest level since records were first kept in 1913.
The fundamentals of the government's reform remain intact.
The goal of employment and workplace relations reform is to achieve better outcomes for both employers and employees through greater flexibility in employment arrangements in the workplace.
The safety net
Under the Workplace Relations Act 1996 entitlements such as minimum wages, annual leave, personal and sick leave and maternity and parental leave are set out in the Australian Fair Pay and Conditions Standard.
Agreements must still provide benefits equal to or better than the Australian Fair Pay and Conditions Standard—that is, the entitlements in the Australian Fair Pay and Conditions Standard cannot be traded off when workplace agreements are entered into.
Protected award conditions are penalty rates, including for working on public holidays and weekends, shift and overtime loadings, monetary allowances, annual leave loadings, public holidays, rest breaks and incentive based payments or bonuses.
These protected award conditions are not mandated in agreements because to do so would limit flexibility in agreement making. However, they will not be able to be traded away without fair compensation.
Fairness test
The fairness test will apply to workplace agreements lodged on or after 7 May 2007.
Where an agreement, including an agreement made before 7 May 2007, is varied the whole agreement will be subject to the fairness test if the variation excludes or modifies protected award conditions.
The fairness test will apply to Australian workplace agreements covering employees with a gross basic salary of less than $75,000 per annum who are employed in an industry or occupation in which the terms and conditions are usually regulated by an award, where the agreement excludes or modifies protected award conditions.
There are more than 4,000 awards.
In addition, all collective agreements covering employees in an industry or occupation in which the terms and conditions are usually regulated by an award and where the agreement excludes or modifies protected award conditions will be subject to the fairness test.
How will the fairness test be conducted?
As is currently the case, workplace agreements will operate from the day they are lodged with the Workplace Authority.
The fairness test will require the Workplace Authority to be satisfied that a workplace agreement provides fair compensation to an employee in lieu of the exclusion or modification of protected award conditions.
Protected award conditions will be drawn from the federal award which binds the employer or from the transitional instrument based on the relevant state instrument that applied prior to the commencement of the Workplace Relations Amendment (Work Choices) Act 2005 on 27 March 2006.
If there is no such instrument and the employee is working in an industry or occupation usually regulated by a federal award, the Workplace Authority will be able to designate an appropriate federal award.
In deciding whether a workplace agreement passes or does not pass the fairness test, the Workplace Authority may inform itself in any appropriate way. In many cases, it will be able to assess an agreement based on the agreement and information lodged with it.
For example, when the agreement is lodged employees will be able to include information about their personal circumstances, including their family responsibilities and the significance they attach to the particular workplace flexibilities for which they have traded off protected award conditions.
The authority will also be able to contact the employees and the employer where necessary.
Employees already receive an information statement when they are offered an AWA or collective agreement. This requirement is retained and will now also inform employees of their rights in regard to the fairness test.
The fairness test will not involve legalistic hearings. The Workplace Authority will not arbitrate agreement outcomes.
When considering whether a workplace agreement provides fair compensation, the Workplace Authority must first have regard to the monetary and non-monetary compensation that the employee or employees will receive in lieu of the protected award conditions.
The bill defines non-monetary compensation as compensation for which there is a money-value equivalent or where a money value can reasonably be assigned and which confers a benefit or advantage on the employee that is of significant value to the employee.
A meal provided by an employer to an employee who is regularly required to work overtime will not constitute adequate compensation in lieu of penalty rates for overtime.
This means that, contrary to misleading claims that have been made, a slice of pizza will not constitute non-monetary compensation.
In most cases it is expected that a higher rate of pay will be agreed to in lieu of protected award conditions that have been modified or removed.
In establishing what is fair compensation the Workplace Authority must consider the work obligations of the employee or employees under the workplace agreement.
For example, the Workplace Authority would consider whether employees were required to work shift work or on weekends and would otherwise have been entitled to penalty rates.
The Workplace Authority may also have regard to the personal circumstances of employee or employees, in particular, their family responsibilities.
For example, an agreement may well meet the fairness test where a parent wants an Australian workplace agreement that enables him or her to leave work one hour early on a weekday to collect his children from school and make up the time on a Saturday morning and be paid the normal hourly rate rather than the higher Saturday rate.
Only in exceptional circumstances and where the Workplace Authority is satisfied that it is not contrary to the public interest to do so may the Workplace Authority also have regard to the industry, location or economic circumstances of the employer and the employment circumstances of the employee or employees in deciding whether fair compensation is provided.
The Workplace Authority may decide it is appropriate to consider the economic circumstances of an employer when a workplace agreement is part of a reasonable strategy to deal with a short-term crisis.
For example, employees working in a canning factory in a regional town negotiate a one-year agreement that excludes penalty rates so that the factory can remain competitive where the business is struggling due to the impact of the drought. This will keep the business alive and maintain jobs.
This is similar to the public interest test that applied to workplace agreements prior to the commencement of the Workplace Relations Amendment (Work Choices) Act 2005.
The changes I introduce today deliberately limit the circumstances in which agreements that would normally fail the test are able to operate. While it is necessary to allow for the situations where such agreements are appropriate, such agreements should be very much the exception and must not be contrary to the public interest.
In the case of a collective agreement, the Workplace Authority must be satisfied that, on balance, the collective agreement provides fair compensation in its overall effect on the employees.
This is similar to the way the previous no disadvantage test applied to workplace agreements.
Like the no disadvantage test, where protected award conditions are removed or modified, employees will most often be compensated with a higher rate of pay for each hour worked.
What if an agreement fails the fairness test?
Where an agreement does not pass the fairness test, the Workplace Authority will provide advice to the employer and employee on how the agreement could be changed to make it fair.
The employer and employee will have 14 calendar days to make the agreement fair. Fixing a failed agreement could be done by varying the agreement or making an undertaking, which would be enforceable.
If an agreement is not fixed, it will cease to operate at the end of the 14-day period.
The entitlements of the employee or employees will revert to the arrangements that would have applied to them had they not made the unfair agreement. This could be an earlier workplace agreement or the award.
An employee with a designated award (and where no other workplace agreement is in place) will retain an entitlement to the protected award conditions from the designated award.
Where an agreement initially fails the test, but is satisfactorily rectified, the employee will generally be entitled to compensation or back pay for the period during which the agreement was unfair.
The employer will be expected to make up any back pay from the time the agreement was lodged for any entitlement the employee would otherwise have been entitled to.
Where an agreement does not pass the fairness test and an employer does not compensate the employee or employees, the Workplace Ombudsman will be able to recover any shortfall in entitlements on behalf of the affected employees.
A court may also impose a penalty if compensation is not paid.
Will a proposed or draft agreement meet the fairness test?
The Workplace Authority will offer a pre-lodgement assessment of proposed agreements against the fairness test. Either an employee or an employer can request a pre-lodgement assessment of a proposed agreement.
This process helps people make fair and clear agreements from the start. It helps them to know where they stand in regard to protections, entitlements and obligations. It minimises the risk of a shortfall in payments where an agreement fails the fairness test.
The pre-lodgement assessment of a proposed agreement is an administrative, rather than a legislative process.
This is because the legislative fairness test can only be applied to a properly made and lodged agreement with identifiable parties.
Where a pre-lodgement assessment is requested, the Workplace Authority will provide written advice indicating whether or not the agreement would pass the fairness test.
Provided the circumstances have not changed when the agreement is lodged, pre-lodgement approval will result in consideration of the agreement being fast tracked on lodgement.
The Workplace Authority
The bill establishes the workplace authority director and deputy directors.
The workplace authority director is to be appointed by the Governor-General ensuring the independence of the office.
In addition to conducting the fairness test, the workplace authority director will undertake the functions of the Employment Advocate, such as accepting the lodgement of workplace agreements and providing information about agreement-making.
The Workplace Authority will have particular regard to the needs of workers in disadvantaged bargaining positions, such as young people and workers from a non-English speaking background.
The Workplace Authority, together with the Workplace Ombudsman, will receive extra funding of $370 million over four years to ensure its increased responsibilities are met.
The Workplace Ombudsman
The bill establishes the Workplace Ombudsman to be appointed by the Governor-General, also ensuring independence of the office.
The Workplace Ombudsman will undertake the functions of the Office of Workplace Services, such as assisting employees and employers in understanding their rights and obligations and promoting, monitoring and investigating compliance matters.
The bill confers upon the Workplace Ombudsman the function of investigating breaches of the Workplace Relations Act, including in respect of the fairness test. The Workplace Ombudsman will be assisted in discharging his or her functions by having the power to appoint workplace inspectors.
One of the key new roles will be enforcing the prohibitions on employers from dismissing an employee because an agreement has failed the fairness test, or coercing an existing employee to agree to give up their protected award conditions.
The Workplace Ombudsman will focus on ensuring that young working Australians are not being unfairly treated in the workplace and conduct regular random audits to ensure employers are meeting their obligations to young people.
The Workplace Ombudsman will receive extra funding of more than $60 million dollars—that is out of that $370 million—over four years to ensure its increased responsibilities are met.
This government has worked hard to create a balanced workplace relations regulatory framework that encourages job creation and allows Australian businesses to compete and grow.
This bill provides a stronger safety net to underpin what is already an efficient system for a modern Australian economy.
The flexibility and opportunity created by the government's workplace relations reforms have played a role in contributing to the growth of our economy and the economic prosperity shared by working Australian families.
The changes I will introduce today build on this strong foundation.
The changes ensure that choice and flexibility remain the fundamental building blocks of successful workplace arrangements.
The changes reassure working Australians that protected award conditions cannot be traded away without fair compensation and the approval of an independent statutory authority.
Debate (on motion by Ms Gillard) adjourned.

I wrote about it on the Giggling Gourmet site since I was so amped up I thought that I would post recipes I found that actually complied with everything we were giving up.
However, after the first day I began to feel bad. Then as days passed I felt worse and worse...actually its one of the sickest times I've ever felt! (Was that grammatically correct?)
Anyways, it lasted less than a week and I can say now that I'm back to eating normal (which was decently healthy to begin with), I feel back to my normal, energetic and generally nice self! On the detox I was downright atrociously cranky!
Other than that not much new has been going on here...looks like I need to keep my eyes peeled for more humor in everyday life!
What's tickled your funny bone today?

Well then, I guess you just have all the answers. Business as usual everyone. No reason to change anything. The world is working so well with these population increases.

Men can be sterilized as well, ya know. If we had advanced, we would sterilize for controlled eugenics. If someone has a horrible hereditary disease that is guaranteed to be passed down to the next generation, and that person doesn't have the capacity to make their own rational decisions, why would we allow that person to create another human that will suffer from the same horrible disease? In nature, these people would have died off long before they could reproduce. However, with modern science and cultural advancements, humans are no longer controlled by the laws of nature. So, what are we to do? Too many people in here are limiting their minds to moral realms, brought about by years of christian brainwashing.

Wayne, shut it. I normally leave you to your spamming, but it is your organized religion that has brought about most of the problems we deal with in this modern world. The fact is, most of the people in this country, and on this forum, are living 10000x better than people of the last 15000 years. Everything is right there for us, any time we need it. Pain doesn't have to be tolerated. Sadness can be medicated. We don't even have to hunt for meat. If this is the end of days, I guess the bible was wrong about all the suffering.
BTW, my point about sterilization was not because I think things are so bad right now. It is because we are headed down a destructive path for our planet. I am sure that even if we added another couple billion people, most middle to upper class Americans wouldn't feel a thing. However, the poor and starving all over the world will grow in number. Is it not more cruel to allow a small conscious child starve to death in the street, just because some octomom wannabe freak thinks they deserve to have a dozen children. It's a global fight for resources, and these resources are finite (getting back to the original topic in this thread). Some will win and some will lose. I would rather have it so there are enough resources for everyone, instead of increasing the number of losers.

You're even crazier than the guy who wants to sterilize everyone.
your REAL options are:
1. Go vote. Vote out all democrats and republicans. Let the libertarians rise for a term. Then you will see the fall of the two party system and new parties will form. Things will be cool for 100 years or so and then the new parties will stale mate. For this to work we have to convince everyone in our generation to do the same thing, which shouldn't be too hard these days...
2. Move (if you are lucky enough to be granted citizenship) to another country, like Canada or Iceland. I hear Iceland is nice. They are doing great things with their government. Might surprise you but most successful countries as of late have welfare rates even higher than ours, they are just not he world police and they know how to balance a budget. They don't outsource EVERYTHING so their people have jobs. This free enterprise and "right to work" bull**** doesn't exist so workers actually get higher pay and more time off. Sounds nice, doesn't it. Shoot, when I went on an 8 day honeymoon I got put on "probation" at work for taking so much time off. See you boys in Iceland.

Im having a problem with KC_EnhancedTrades.
Ive updated everything including KC_Items but it keeps registering an error when I open up my Skills list (alchemy). It also seems to effect First Aid and Cooking skill.
Im also getting a problem which im not sure but could be related to Ace in IOTH (Insignia of the horde) addon....
