Like any good listener, the concept design by Younghui Kim and Milena Iossifova understands the sounds around it, and produces an appropriate response. In HearWare's case this means using LEDs and electroluminescent wires embedded in the fabric of your favorite skirt, bags or pants.A calming ocean surf might become a brilliant blue, perhaps, or that cabbie's tirade about you stepping into traffic is expressed via your fabulous handbag as an angry sun-fire red. The intensity of light depends on the level of sound. The louder the environment, the more your apparel lights up. Combine this with Addy's wearable warzone antenna and you'd have quite the light show on your hands, I imagine. Just keep it away from the night missions. [HearWare via Talk2MyShirt]

National Animal Rescue & Sheltering Coalition (NARSC)
Established in early 2006, the National Animal Rescue and Sheltering Coalition (NARSC) is an outgrowth of the unprecedented disaster season of 2005, during which major storms – most notably Hurricane Katrina – impacted more people and animals than any other storm in the history of the United States. In the years since Hurricane Katrina, this collective of organizations has grown into a strong coalition whose mission is to identify, prioritize and find collaborative solutions to major human-animal emergency issues. This coalition of national organizations represents millions of animal welfare, animal care and animal control professionals, volunteers and pet owners. NARSC is arguably the largest collective of experienced, qualified animal rescue and sheltering management professionals in the country. Member agencies have cooperatively responded nationally and internationally to natural disasters such as wildfires, flooding, ice storms, tornadoes, earthquakes and hurricanes, and to man-made animal disasters including puppy mills and hoarders.

Founded in 1969, the International Fund for Animal Welfare saves individual animals, animal populations and habitats all over the world.

The International Fund for Animal Welfare and the Petfinder Foundation formed a relationship in 2006 in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, resulting in the IFAW/Petfinder Foundation animal-rescue trailer. The animal-rescue trailer has been an integral part of IFAW's ability to effectively respond to disasters in the United States and to care for affected animals.

Living in a college town does bring with it both challenges and advantages. There are sporting events, philanthropy events, academic events, arts festivals, concerts, administrator trials (oops, that might just be here), and then there are drunken events. None of the first few actually classify as "drinking events" even though some imbibing may occur. Except for this:
This is strictly an excuse to wear green and get publicly wasted en masse. It is both maddening and frustrating. If you want to have wine with dinner tomorrow....well, get it today. Any place that sells alcohol, will be closed up tighter than a drum. And even though I had/have no plans to go out tomorrow, it annoys me anyway. And don't get me started on the municipal costs....it is simply too painful to contemplate.
Juxtapose that with this story from the front page of the morning paper........ we may not have cattle rustling, but goat rustling is alive and well........

Shema or God?By ShomronThe first principle of the statement of the Samaritan-ISRAELITE declaration of faith is, "One God, who is the God of Israel." The God of Israel is the sole object of Israelite-Samaritan Worship. The name given to the God of Israel by the Samaritan-Israelite transliterated to "Shema," means "the Name". The Name Shema is used to avoid uttering the pronounce the four letters of the name of "YHWH."(in Ancient Hebrew: YUT-HIY-BA-EIY) "All the names of God are attributive except the name 'YHWH,' which does not consist of any attribute" (Memar Markah II.9). Shema (may He bless us with understanding) is Creator, King, King of kings, King of the worlds, God of gods, and Lord of lords. He is Might, the Mighty One, Great, Strong, Able, Enduring, Victor, Redeemer, the Living One, the Wise, the Great Power and the Rock and the Stone of Israel. Now if you are Jewish, you understand and have known the word 'Shema' to mean the twice daily recitation of the declaration of God's unity, in which the word Shema is derived from the first word of the recitation of Deuteronomy 6:4 'Hear.' The word 'shem' as you may know means 'name' just like in the use of the son of Noah, Shem. This is how the Samaritan Israelites use the term as shown above. But when scholars refer to the Samaritan-Israelite deity they use the common universal word 'God' which is the general usage of the one deity. But if you review each religious deity, you will find a difference between them. And some denominations will admit that they do not worship the same deity as other religious groups do. Even scripture states that this: "Do not follow other gods, any gods of the peoples about you" Deut. 6:14. "For their rock is not like our Rock " Deut. 32:31. Even this well known term, "God" is in reality the name of an ancient deity. How we came about to use this term is practically unknown. But back to the Samaritan-Israelite usage of the term of their deity. The word god is not a welcomed practice among the small community. Even the written usage by scholars is not in reality practical or accepted. There is no reason in this educated environment to use the term to represent the deity of the Samaritan-Israelites. Use the correct term, which is 'Shema,' when essential and deity when fundamental use is applied. When quoting past articles, it will be acceptable to quote the written words but in the future, out of respect for the Samaritan-Israelites, the appropriate words shall be relevant. I would like to thank Benny Tsadaka for bring this to our attention. -------- A Samaritan Prayer Praise be to Shema, the quintessence of Unity; the indivisible and eternal; To him who is far above either mother or son; To the forgiver of sins to every on that repents with purity of conscience; To him who overlooks shortcomings, and consoles the disconsolate hearts; To him who alone is perfect and eternal, and liable neither to malady nor disease; He is eternal and immutable, far above destruction, or any possible damage; He is the Everlasting, who is too exalted to be represented either by image or likeness; And is far above measurement or drawing. He is described by the most exalted names; To him belongs the ineffable name "AHIH ASHR AHIH." He is the one who hears and beholds all things. Verily he hears the flowing of water in the most parched wilderness, And sees the black ants in the darkest recesses of the rock. There is no deity but he; None but he is worthy to be worshipped. He is invisible, eternal in his eternity, And Lord of all the heavens. Exalted and blessed be his Name (Shema)! He is praised in the secret and in the open; In the conscience and by the tongue; Inwardly and outwardly. He is the only judge, Who will avenge Himself on the rebellious on the last day. Holy be His Great Name! Amen. -------- Notes and Extracts From the Semitic manuscripts in the John Rylands Library: By Edward Robertson will be on the-samaritans.com in full very soon. ---------

Masâ'il al-Khilâf by Munajjâ ibn Sadaqa (part II). • An old copy of Masâ'il al-Khilâf, a treatise on the differences between Jews and Samaritans by Abû l-Faraj Munajjâ ibn Sadaqa ibn Gharûb, a twelfth-century physician of Damascus. As usual, our copy comprises only the second part of the text: there is no manuscript extant containing both parts. This work is a major source for the history and customs of the Samaritans and their relations with the Jews, both Rabbanites and Karaites. The provenance of the manuscript, which may date from the early 15th century, lies in Nablus itself, as appears from a long ownership note on p. 2, partly written in Samaritan. The note states that Yûsuf ibn Hiba Mu`în hak-Kâhên, the þCustodian of the Sacred (Abisha) Scrollþ in Nablus, has studied the contents of the manuscript. Subsequently it was studied by Ibrahîm ibn Ya`qûb al-Mafrajî (note on p. 24) and Ibrahîm ibn Ya`qûb ibn Marjan Ibrâhîm ibn Ismâ`îl (note on p. 25). `Imrân ibn Salâma ibn Ghazel hak-Kâhên in his long note dated 1838 on p. 226, describes the state of the manuscript when he collected, repaired and completed it (þjama'ahu wa-rammahu...tafwîd mâ dâ'a minhu...þ). The previous owner of this manuscript was David Solomon Sassoon (1880-1942), ms. 717. It is much the most important and certainly the oldest of four manuscripts of this work once in the Sassoon library. (Description based on Sotheby's catalogue LN4369 þSassoonþ. See also D.S.

A small manuscript of 11 leaves (176 x 125 mm) bound in one gathering, written in Arabic, 15-16 lines to a page, in a cursive naskhî script, with short words and phrases in a small square Samaritan hand, and with some early glosses. Five couplets of religious poetry in Arabic are added on p. 1. The leaves show some worming (mostly marginal), dampstaining, browning on the lower parts, and some marginal repairs. Modern cloth.

The Samaritan Pentateuch, in the Arabic translation of Abu þl-Suryânî. • Perhaps Nablus or Damascus, 18th or 19th century (but see below). The manuscript consists of 296 leaves, 344 x 223 mm, of slightly glossy European paper, and is apparently complete; the text is written in black ink, 19 lines to a page, in a rather shaky Arabic hand, with the title and basmala in a larger bold letter, and with various marginal additions.

An incomplete manuscript consisting of 24 leaves (262 x 173 mm), lacking leaves at the beginning, after pp. 18, 36 and 44 and at end; the leaves, marked by catchwords, are bound in three gatherings, the collation being as follows: i9 [of 10, lacking x], ii9 [of 10, lacking x], iii6 [presumably of 10, probably lacking i-ii, vii and x]. The text is written in Arabic, in 23-24 long lines, in a well-formed cursive naskhî script interpersed throughout with words and phrases in Samaritan script.

High-level Dialogue on Interreligious and Intercultural Understanding and Cooperation for Peace
10-05-2007, 11:46 pm
Statement by Mr. Nguyen Tat Thanh, Deputy Permanent Representative of Viet Nam to the United Nations, at the 19th Plenary Meeting of the 62nd Session of the General Assembly: High-level Dialogue on Interreligious and Intercultural Understanding and Cooperation for Peace
New York, 5 October 2007
Mr. President,
At the outset let, me congratulate you on your election as President of the Sixty-Second General Assembly. I am convinced that with your rich experience, you will steer this Session to a successful conclusion.
I wish to thank the Secretary General for his report.
Mr. President,
Having been victimized by many destructive wars, the Vietnamese people treasure peace, stability and development. We fully support efforts by countries, communities and people around the world pursuing these ends through dialogue and cooperation.
Genuine dialogue and cooperation require mutual respect, understanding and tolerance. These mutually reinforcing elements are in fact a continuing process of learning of oneself and of the others.
In our global village of today, interaction keeps increasing among religions and cultures from all parts of the world. It is an opportune time for all of us to learn more of one another, not only about the commonalities or shared values, but also about the differences; to enhance unity and to accept and benefit from diversity; to live with a culture of peace, non-violence, respect, understanding and tolerance.
In this regard, the importance of education, especially of youth and the media in promoting respect, understanding and tolerance must be emphasized. Concerted efforts in this respect need to be carried out at global, regional, national and local levels.
We commend the efforts by the Alliance of Civilizations, the Tripartite Forum on Interfaith Cooperation for Peace, the United Nations system, especially UNESCO and UNFPA as mentioned in the report of the Secretary General, in promoting and implementing this idea. Viet Nam welcomes the designation of a focal point in the UN Secretariat to coordinate mutually complementing activities of the UN system in this field. At the regional level, Vietnamese representatives of different faiths and religions actively participate in the interfaith dialogue and exchange of experience and best practices within the framework of the Asia-Europe Meeting and in the Asia-Pacific Region to further strengthen the understanding and cooperation across regions.
Viet Nam is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious country with 54 nationalities and many different religious communities composing of 20 millions believers living side by side in harmony sharing the spirit of fraternity, mutual respect and assistance, while respecting and cherishing each other's unique identity. The Vietnamese people of different nationalities, religions and cultures joined forces in the struggle for national independence in the past and are now side by side shouldering the task of national construction. In war or in peace, the strength of the country lies in both unity and diversity of its people.
Back in its first meeting in 1945, the Provisional Government of Viet Nam under the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh issued the motto " freedom for religious solidarity between believers and non-believers". The 1992 Constitution of Viet Nam reaffirms this spirit in concrete terms. Our national experience and policies in this connection guide our activities at the global level.
Mr. President,
Before conclusion, I wish to assure you that Viet Nam will continue to make every efforts, together with countries and peoples of the world to foster understanding and cooperation in the name of peace and development for all.
I thank you, Mr. President.

Editor's Note: This item is republished with permission from Inman News. View the original article, "Survey: Buyers think market is shifting against them."
A survey of 982 prospective buyers in 19 markets by tech-based brokerage Redfin shows an increasing conviction that home prices are on the rise, and a growing reluctance to get into multiple-offer situations.
"Many buyers who emerged from hibernation this spring eager to take advantage of low rates and near-bottom prices now seem to have become demoralized by the intense competition for a limited selection of homes for sale," the company said today in releasing the results of the survey, which was conducted Aug. 16–22.
Seven in 10 of those surveyed said they'd encountered competition on at least one offer, and 31% said they'd back off when faced with multiple-offer situations, up from 28% during the second quarter.
While 46% believe now is a good time to buy, that's down from 56% during the first quarter. And 32% think now is a good time to sell, up from 13% during the first quarter—further evidence that would-be buyers think the market may be shifting against them, Redfin said.
While 61% of those surveyed by Redfin believe prices will increase, up from 32% during the first quarter, the percentage of would-be buyers who are worried about the economy also grew from 20% during the first quarter to 27% in the latest survey.
The National Association of Realtors said today that its index of pending home sales posted its 15th consecutive month of year-over-year gains in July, reaching the highest level in two years.
At 101.7, NAR's Pending Home Sales Index was up from 99.3 in June and 90.5 a year ago. The index surged above the baseline reading of 100, established in 2001—the first of five consecutive record years for existing-home sales, that also coincides with "a level that is historically healthy," NAR said.
The index is at its highest level since April 2010, which was shortly before the closing deadline for the federal homebuyer tax credit.
NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun warned that a limited supply of homes for sale is constraining sales—all regions except the West, which is experiencing "an acute inventory shortage," saw monthly increases in contract signings.
Redfin said that with mortgage rates still near historic lows, buyers working with the company's agents are "willing to power through until they can find a home."

I keep finding myself being drawn towards whimsical photos like the one below. I thought that this idea was fun, unique… and my daughter happened to find a little feather that worked perfectly for the shot. We had beautiful weather this sunny Saturday at Zukas Hilltop Barn. The bride was enchanting, the groom was charming and as warm as the day. Bold and fresh red roses adorned every corner. Amidst all the other details like the horse drawn carriage, the chocolate fountain, delicious cake and the candy table, I believe it was truly a happy day for all.

November 25, 2009
Many of you may be counting the minutes before the Thanksgiving holiday. I hope you enjoy the time you have with friends, family and loved ones. When I was a wee little boy, I had a shiny sticker of a gum ball machine on the back of my closet door that read Count Your Blessings. That idea has "stuck" with me as a reminder to think about, and mentally list all the things that I'm thankful for. Thanksgiving is a day witness, bear in mind and appreciate all of our blessings. I also have to pay respects to the many Native Americans that we share the positives and remember the hardships of these times. I hope you have a happy holiday!

November 18, 2009This past Saturday we photographed this wedding, Monday we edited it and Wednesday we're uploading it for the friends and family to view. Having an efficient work flow for our clients is a big part of what we do. In addition to having great photos, you need to have a studio that can deliver in a timely manor. If you can't tell, we try really hard to make you happy! Hopefully the photos show that. It was a warm, country wedding at Zukas Hilltop Barn in Spencer, MA. As usual the staff did a great job. Despite the countless weddings I've photographed there, I've never seen the entire Day Spa. I must say it was pretty impressive. Bella Cakes also did a superb job with the delicious cupcakes…. mmm! Check out the place card holders that the groom made with a chainsaw! Lastly, you gotta love the babies. There were so many little babies at this wedding, they were all beautiful and joy to have at the wedding.

October 26, 2009Rain, Rain, Beautiful Rain
October 20, 2009They say rain on your wedding day is good luck, I believe it. Rain brings the crops and the flowers… and the abundance. Also on the positive side, rain makes for interesting photo op's with an umbrella, in addition to the great lighting that the clouds create. Here are a few of our favorite photos taken by our amazing associate photographer Kelly, on this rainy wedding day She recently photographed this wedding at Zukas Hilltop Barn in Spencer, MA. Zukas is one of my favorite places to work. The site has a great country elegance, and with the fall foliage… it's spectacular. What sets this venue apart most though, is the service and the people. They are among the nicest, most personable you'll find. Definitely check them out if you're planning a wedding.

Gag Clause
A gag clause is often used as part of an employment contract as a way for an employer to protect special and/or proprietary corporate information, trade secrets, and confidential employee information. In legal use, a gag clause refers to the situation when individuals are ordered not to speak of certain information.
Use of Gag Clauses
Employment contracts will generally use gag clauses along with non-disclosure agreements. For example, the employee might be under a strict non-disclosure agreement in terms of company business, trade secrets, and terms of employment. However, the employment contract might specify an additional gag clause that pertains to the time after the employee leaves the company or is terminated. An employee might be under a gag clause as it pertains to the general business conditions of their ex-employer or perhaps the confidential information about current employees. Example: I am not able to speak to the conditions of my termination, as I am under a strict gag clause from my past employer.
In a legal sense, gag orders or clauses are permissible under contract or by order of an authority. However, gag clauses that are used as a condition of or as a product of an employment contract may be difficult to enforce, especially in certain states. Employment law is often for the benefit of the employee, and gag clauses are sometimes viewed to violate the free speech of the employee. In general, a gag clause is permissible when an employer can show that the information either has a very clear proprietary ownership or would cause the company irreparable harm in the marketplace. Additionally, the clause must be shown to be very narrowly and tightly drawn.
Gag Clauses for your Employees
Employment law is a complex subject and varies widely from state to state within the United States. Adding to the complexity, many companies have global operations and/or outsource certain business functions to third party firms. When thinking about the protection of your trade secrets and proprietary information, it is important to ascertain the full impact of all types of employees and partners – contractors, employees, part-time employees, supplemental staff, third party agencies, and general contractors. Each employee classification may have additional steps required in order to create an enforceable gag clause, so seeking legal council is a necessary step to drafting any such employment contract.
Note: This article is not meant to give legal advice about gag orders and/or employment contracts. It is a general resource offered by Recruiter.com for its readers about the terminology. Please seek professional legal council in this complex matter.

In her op-ed piece in today's New York Times, Marcella Hazan talks about the increasingly frequent elision of "chef" and "cook" and why an appreciation of the latter is so important:
I am my family's cook. It is the food prepared and shared at home that, for more than 50 years, has provided a solid center for our lives. In the context of the values that cement human relations, the clamor of restaurants and the facelessness of takeout are no match for what the well-laid family table has to offer. A restaurant will never strengthen familial bonds.
Which is why, as we come together over the holidays, we should take a moment to think about how we might become cooks again. We could even begin, in these financially straitened times, by replacing store-bought presents with meals cooked at home.After all, what experience of food can compare with eating something good made by someone you can hug? Like other forms of human affection, cooking delivers its truest and most enduring gifts when it is savored in intimacy–prepared not by a chef but by a cook and with love.
Read "No Chefs in My Kitchen" in its entirety online. It's a wonderful, deeply felt reminder of the role cooking can play in our lives and reflects one of the core principles of Slow Food.

Happy New Year and Welcome 2012! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas Holiday with some relaxation to go along with all the excitement and hustle bustle. Our family had a quiet and restful holiday, but it's back to the usual routine tomorrow. My mom sent me some wonderful yarn from her LYS for Christmas and I just had to share some of it. This colourful ball is called Florcitas and it looks like it has tiny little vines growing out of it! One skein knits up a very cozy cowl and it knits up fast...about 1 hour. I started in the afternoon of New Year's Eve, finished it and wore it all night.
Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year!

Abraham Lincoln
this wiki
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was the sixteenth President of the United States, particularly noted for his leadership during the Civil War, delivery of the Gettysburg Address, and the Emancipation Proclamation. Nicknamed "Honest Abe," the lanky bearded politician was a controversial figure in his own time, but has since been recognized as one of the greatest presidents, ranked with George Washington. A key factor in this was not only Lincoln's statesmanship and opposition to slavery, but his assassination on April 14, 1865, days after the Southern forces surrendered. Lincoln thus became the first American president to be assassinated (but not the last, as witness John F. Kennedy) and the fourth to die in office. His image adorns the five dollar bill and the penny.
The figure of Lincoln has been represented in Muppet form on several occasions, or portrayed by other characters.
- In an advertisement for Esskay Meats on Sam and Friends, Harry the Hipster recites a variation of the Gettysburg Address, saluting Esskay Bacon.
- Abraham Lincoln appeared in the Jazz #2 animated segment on Sesame Street, opposite Washington in an elevator, before being replaced by dual Washingtons.
- Lincoln has appeared as part of an anthropomorphic Mount Rushmore on multiple occasions. He was performed by John Lovelady in The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence and Martin P. Robinson in a National Wildlife Federation PSA, and appeared again on Muppets Tonight.
- In I Love Liberty, Miss Piggy makes repeated attempts to gain a role in the Muppets 1776-style historical play. Rebuffed in her guise as Washington, she re-appears in stovepipe hat and beard as Abraham Lincoln, quoting the Gettysburg Address: "Ahem! Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this --" Kermit interrupts: "Piggy! You're four score and seven years too early for this play!" He pushes her out the door again.
- Muppets Tonight episode 206 featured Robot Abraham Lincoln (played by Jerry Nelson), a robotic version of Honest Abe as built by Dr. Bunsen Honeydew. At one point, the machine stammers "Our forefathers.. our forefathers..," repeating a phrase from the Gettysburg Address.
- In a "Sesame Street News Flash", Kermit the Frog interviews Pinocchio, who tells lies to make his nose grow. One of Pinocchio's whoppers is that he is Abraham Lincoln. (EKA: Episode 0878)
- Fozzie Bear appeared as "Honest Fozzie Lincoln" in the coloring book Great Muppets in American History.
- Baby Fozzie appears as "Abearham Lincoln" in the Muppet Babies episode "This Old Nursery".
- Baby Gonzo appears as Abraham Lincoln for the Illinois page of the Muppet Babies coloring book, Muppet Babies Visit the Fifty States.
- In a Sesame Street sketch where the Two-Headed Monster reads the word "Quiet", the left head is heard reciting Lincoln's Gettysburg Address before the word appears.
- Bert visits the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. in Let's Take a Trip!
- Bert appears as Lincoln in The Sesame Street 1976 Calendar.
- In a clip taped for the What's the Word on the Street? segment on "disguise" (EKA: Episode 4173), one of the children suggests Murray is disguised as Abraham Lincoln. Murray is wearing a blue wig and glasses. The segment is seen on Sesamestreet.org's online Behind the Scenes clips.
- Interviewed for the "Inside the Gulag" featurette on the Region 2 Muppets Most Wanted Blu-ray, the Prison King claims to have shot Lincoln.

The Vatican Information Service has announced that the new Medjugorje commission has had its first meeting.
The press release stating this also contains a list of the members of the commission. Here is the text, reformatted to make reading the names easier:
"The International Investigative Commission on Medjugorje met for its first session on 26 March 2010."
"The Commission, presided over by Cardinal Camillo Ruini, His Holiness' vicar general emeritus for the diocese of Rome, is composed of the following members:
- Cardinal Jozef Tomko, prefect emeritus of the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples;
- Cardinal Vinko Puljic, Archbishop of Vrhbosna, president of the Bishops' Conference of Bosnia-Herzegovina;
- Cardinal Josip Bozanic, Archbishop of Zagreb and vice-president of the Council of European Bishops' Conference;
- Cardinal Julian Herranz, president emeritus of the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts;
- Archbishop Angelo Amato, S.D.B., prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints;
- Msgr. Tony Anatrella, psychoanalyst and specialist in Social Psychiatry;
- Msgr. Pierangelo Sequeri, professor of Fundamental Theology at the Theological Faculty of Northern Italy;
- Fr. David Maria Jaeger, O.F.M., consultant to the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts;
- Fr. Zdzislaw Jozef Kijas, O.F.M. Conv., relator of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints;
- Fr. Salvatore M. Perrella, O.S.M., teacher of Mariology at the Pontifical Marianum Faculty of Theology; and
- Fr. Achim Schutz, professor of Theological Anthropology at the Pontifical Lateran University as secretary.
- Msgr. Krzysztof Nykiel, an officer of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith serves as additional secretary."
"Other experts have also participated in the commission's work:
- Fr. Franjo Topic, professor of Fundamental Theology in Sarajevo;
- Fr. Mijo Nikic, S.J., professor of Psychology and Psychology of Religion at the Philosophical and Theological Institute of the Society of Jesus in Zagreb,
- Fr. Mihaly Szentmartoni, S.J., professor of Spirituality at the Pontifical Gregorian University, and
- Sr. Veronica Nela Gaspar, professor of Theology at Rijeka."
"As announced previously, the work of the Commission will be carried out with the utmost reserve. Its conclusions will be submitted to the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith for study."
I'm not a veteran Medjugorje watcher, so I don't have a feel for the individuals on or working with the commission when it comes to Medjugorje.
Does anybody have thoughts on how the members lean–or if they're all neutrals, or what?

Take it Outside Robots fight. We all know this, and it is why we read this section of the magazine. However, where, and when they fight is decided by event organizers. For many reasons — including commercial considerations — most events are held indoors, but sometimes — if we have access to small arenas — we do ask our robots to "step outside" when we want to fight.

Very few people give any thought to the effect the weather can have on their robot during a fight or demonstration. Temperature is just one variable, but it is a very important one. Let

In 2010, electric power promises to herald a new era in mobility. Now, Luc Marchetti and his teams have decided to go one step further, creating a top-of-the-range electric GT car. French carmaker Exagon Motors is set to showcase its electric sports car named Furtive-eGT at the Paris Auto Show 2010. The 2012 Exagon Electric Sport Cars Furtive-eGT is a 2+2 seater, powered by a pair of Siemens-developed electric motors that can produce a massive 340 hp of peak power.
Exagon Furtive eGT has perfect sports cars looks. Exagon Motors is planning to commence production of the Furtive-eGT by 2012 and is hoping to sell 100 cars a year. Price of the electric sports car Furtive-eGT is expected to be two or three times that of the Tesla Roadster.
2012 Exagon Electric Sport Cars Furtive-eGT
The electric sports car Furtive-eGT is powered by two latest-generation engines created by Siemens Corporate Technology, each providing an output of 125 kW, i.e. total power equivalent to 340 hp at 5,000 to 10,000 rpm. These are currently the lightest and most compact engines available on the market. They have a liquid cooling system and their efficiency is outstanding.The lithium-ion batteries manufactured by worldwide specialist Saft are the beating heart of the Furtive-eGT. Latest-generation lithium-ion batteries by Saft + an optional range extender. These state-of-the-art VL 4 batteries provide 150 kWh (50,000 watt-hours). They have a life cycle of approximately ten years, can undergo 3,000 charging cycles and are recyclable. Their autonomy is astounding: 197 to 406 km in electric-only mode, depending on usage conditions. An optional range extender brings the autonomy up to 807 km.
Exagon MotorsTM aims to produce the Furtive-eGT in a small series, with an annual output of around a hundred cars. For the two upcoming years, Exagon MotorsTM will keep the press and media up-to-date on progress made in the electric sports car Furtive-eGT's entry into production.
The first test runs for the press are due to start in June 2011.

Rangers chairman David Somers has admitted that "material uncertainty" over season ticket income may cast doubt about the club's ability to continue as a going concern, as the Ibrox outfit announced its cash reserves fell by more than £17.5million last year.
Rangers announced a loss of £3.7million in the seven months up to the end of 2013, an improvement of 50 per cent on the same period 12 months earlier.
But they had just £3.5million cash on December 31, despite bringing in £22million in an initial public offering (IPO) share issue just over a year earlier.
The main Rangers supporters' groups recently raised the possibility of drip-feeding season-ticket money to the club via a trust fund amid continuing distrust over the board's ability and intentions.
And the club, who recently arranged loans totalling £1.5million from two shareholders, admits that casts a shadow over the club's immediate future.
In the interim report, Somers said: "This possibility results in the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast doubt about Rangers' ability to continue as a going concern and therefore that the company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
"Nevertheless, after making the appropriate enquiries and considering the uncertainties referred to above, the directors have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the interim results."

Eric Harris
Eric Harris was born on April 9, 1981, in Wichita, Kansas. He moved to Littleton, Colorado, in 1993. On April 20, 1999, he and his friend, Dylan Klebold, went on a shooting rampage in their high school that killed 13 people and wounded more than 20 others. Harris and Klebold committed suicide by shooting themselves in the head in the school library.
Early Life
Mass murderer Eric Harris was born on April 9, 1981, in Wichita, Kansas. Along with his friend Dylan Klebold, Harris shot and killed 13 people and wounded more than 20 others at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. The son of an Air Force pilot, Harris moved around several times as a child. While living in Plattsburgh, New York, he seemed like a regular kid, playing little league baseball. The Harris family moved to Littleton, Colorado, in 1993, after his father retired from the military. Eric slowly began to change. In his new hometown, he was a decent soccer player and wore preppy style clothing, but had a hard time fitting in at school.
Aggressive Behavior
During high school, Harris became close friends with Dylan Klebold, another social outcast. While Harris was talkative and volatile, Klebold was shy and reserved. But they both hated the school and its jock culture and anyone else that they believed had mistreated them -- a common bond that would prove deadly. They were computer savvy and enjoyed playing violent video games.
By the second year at Columbine High School, Harris had become visibly different, dressing like the school's outsider clique, the Trench Coat Mafia, by wearing long coats, dark clothes and boots. But he and Klebold were really only fringe members of group. Harris was often hassled by other students for his weird looks and odd behavior. Both Harris and Klebold studied German and became enamored with Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. They wore swastikas and sometimes gave the "Heil, Hitler" salute.
Unlike Klebold, Harris' rage was often visible and apparent. Angry at a friend, he threw an ice ball into his windshield, cracking the glass, and later threatened to kill that same person on his website. The site was filled with violent tirades against anyone and everyone that Harris disliked or thought had done him wrong.
In 1998, Harris and Klebold, both high school juniors, were arrested after stealing items from a van they broke into. They were charged with theft, criminal mischief and criminal trespassing. Since it was their first offense, they were enrolled in a diversion program, which consisted of community service and counseling. They were released a month early from program in February 1999 -- only two months before their rampage. Both received glowing reports at the end of the program with Harris being called "a bright young man who is likely to succeed in life," according to an article in The Christian Science Monitor.
A strong student, Harris earned good grades, but his schoolwork often featured violent imagery and gory details. Sometime after his arrest, he began planning an attack on his school with Klebold. For about a year, the two prepared for what they called "Judgment Day." They wanted to kill hundreds of people at their school, hoping to achieve some lasting fame while metering out their vengeance against the people they hated. Harris wrote about their plans in his diary.
Harris and Klebold learned to make bombs and acquired guns. Harris, using the nickname "Reb," even posted bomb-making information on his website. A friend of Dylan's reportedly helped them get three of the weapons and a co-worker from the pizza place where Harris had a part-time job assisted in obtaining the fourth gun. They even made several videotapes in which they discuss their plot, which was filled with rage, racist remarks and some concern for their parents. Possibly adding fuel to his existing rage, Harris had been rejected by the U.S. Marine Corps shortly before the killings because of his psychiatric medication. He was taking Luvox for his depression.
Attack on Columbine High
After months of planning, Harris and Klebold carried out their assault on their school on the morning of April 20, 1999, which was also Adolf Hitler's birthday. They had planted a bomb in the school's cafeteria, which was supposed to go off around 11 a.m., which was supposed to force everyone to evacuate the building. Harris and Klebold planned on shooting people as they entered the parking lot.
When the bomb failed, the two entered the school a little after 11 a.m. and began shooting. For less than hour, they terrorized the school, killing 12 students and a teacher and wounding more than 20 others. Returning to the library, where they had killed and wounded several people, Harris shot himself in the head as did Klebold a few moments later.
The nation reeled from the news of the school shootings, and both killers and the authorities response to the siege were thoroughly investigated. With many wondering about how the tragedy could have been avoided and how the police and emergency workers could have handled the situation better. Schools around the country tried to figure what they would do during such an emergency and to identify and care for potentially violent students.
Tragically, Harris and Klebold have served as an example often cited by other young school shooters who followed in their wake, including the 2007 Virginia Tech killer Seung-Hui Cho.

My wife and I chose this home due to the benefits of this particular location. This home is close to all of the amenities and needs of daily life while being able to retreat into one of the most quiet, beautiful, and awarding neighborhoods in Las Cruces for shopping, dining, and schools. Our needs, however, have changed and expanded with our growing family, but we hope others may enjoy what we have loved for years.
Walk or minutes drive to shopping, dining, and entertainment district. Walking, hiking, and park trails nearby. Blocks away from public transportation. Safe and quiet neighborhood. Wonderful and welcoming neighbors.
Chris and Alexis were very responsive when we needed them.
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Sonoma Ranch property in Las Cruces, NM. The house was very conveniently located and was more than adequate and comfortable for the eight of us who stayed there. Everyone enjoyed playing air hockey from children to adults. We do look forward to staying here for lodging in the future. Thanks for a great time during the Christmas holiday.
It was so nice to let children have their own rooms so the adults could enjoy being together
Had a great stay! Will absolutely stay here again if/when a chance to come to Las Cruses comes up again.
We stayed for six nights in July. We were in Las Cruces for NMSU orientation, and wanted to spend more time getting to know the city and area. This home was great - roomy enough for four adults and an 18 year old. Very spacious master bedroom, and spacious and clean throughout, and abundant sunlight through skylights. Quiet part of town, close to plenty of food (dine-out and grocery) and campus is five minutes away, downtown museums are 10 minutes away, dining and shops in Mesilla about 15 minutes away, Organ Mountains about 20 minutes away. No problems with anything at all! Will stay here again if/when we're in town visiting our Aggie!
We found the property to be accurately represented by its description on VRBO site. Everything was clean. There were plenty of towels. We used both bedrooms and one of the futons for sleeping. We played on the air hockey table, which was fun. The large square table accommodated extended family who came over for dinner. There were plenty of dishes and pans for cooking and eating. The refrigerator was clean, and there were basic spices and oil for use; perhaps leftover from former guests. The coffee maker worked just fine. It was nice to have 2 ice cube trays for ice. The beds both were comfortable. The bathrooms were very clean. When we had an issue with the AC, the owner was very attentive. He even called and discussed it with us. The location is truly very convenient to shopping, groceries, and hiking. The patio area was delightful for evening star gazing. The sunrise was awesome looking toward the mountains. We were in Las Cruces for New Mexico State graduation, and it was a very short drive to the university. We drove to White Sands and Ruidoso. We would definitely recommend this home for rental.

Marcus Antonius, familiarly known as Mark Antony (83 - 30 BC), was a Roman general and supporter of Julius Caesar. After Caesar's assassination, Antony was one of three figures, along with Octavian and Lepidus, embroiled in a struggle for political power over the Roman Empire. He also became lovers with Cleopatra, and the pair committed suicide in 30 BC.
- In Muppets Tonight episode 206, an Elvis portrays Mark Antony in a "Great Moments in Elvis History" skit.
- In Gulliver's Travels, Antony (played by an unidentified actor) was one of several historical figures to appear in the home of the Sorceror.

What Role Should Faith Play in Politician's Work?
Let's be honest: it's impossible to build that sort of wall. For people who are religious, it's an inherent part of their culture and life experiences, and those are the things that lead to a person's sense of morality. You don't want people to leave their sense of morality at the door, even if you happen to disagree with some of the opinions that individual has.
The problem is when politicians believe that it is necessary for all constituents to share their morality. This is what makes individuals like Rick Santorum so distasteful to so many Americans. Because he believes that abortion is always wrong, he thinks that all Americans should be prohibited from having abortions. Because he thinks that gay marriage is wrong, he believes that gay marriage should be prohibited in America. It would be akin to me saying that because I believe that people should live together before they get married. But that would not be in tune with the morality of many decent, hard-working Americans, and as such I don't think that it would be right for it to be a law. That is something I firm believe each individual should decide for themselves.
I don't ask for Rick Santorum to forego his religion, or to not consider it when doing political work. I merely ask him to not impose his own morality on me, and I will show him the same respect.
4 comments:
I was aware that Santorum endorses water boarding, but it had not popped in my mind as a potential blog post for some reason. I'll have to do more research on it so that a post from me isn't just identical to or derivative of things you've read everywhere else, but I'll put it in the mental queue.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't government ALWAYS impose a moral code? After all, what is the prohibition on murder but a moral code? And why is it ok to impose that moral code but not others? Oh, but one harms someone else? Why is harming someone immoral then?
Why is waterboarding immoral?
See, everything ultimately comes down to some code of morality. So saying that a politician should not impose morality at all is stupid, because that's precisely why we create government in the first place.

Behavior Expectations
Our classes follow the CARES and Responsive Classroom models of discipline. This means that we always try to preserve your child's dignity even if they have to be disciplined. It also means that we are building a community and we have to learn to think of its members to be a positive part of the classroom. If a student needs redirection, the order is as follows:
If your child is taking too many breaks and/or not returning homework, they are forfeiting Friday Fun and possibly a fun event at the end of the month.
IF your child makes one visit to the CARES room, he/she forfeits a field trip or fun event at the end of the month.
Updates, games you can play and activities you can try at home can be found at our website. Together, we can help your child prepare for fourth grade and beyond!

Industrial Strength samples is ready to twist and turn yet again with our latest edition to our ever growing effects collection. Rewind is a niche pack for those of you who might not own a Cd Dj player or a turntable.
Lenny Dee and crew thought it might be really handy to have a wild collection of rewinds, skips, jumps, spins, slow downs all in one handy pack.
There is nothing like a real hand pushed back spin, so we asked a few of our friends to get back spin crazy and help us get a really crazy selection of license free spins for you to use mash up and effect out.
We used the classic 1200MK2 and the Cdj 1000 Mk3 to make all the rewinds, and combined a lot of long and totally messed up spin samples for you to crash up and freak out.
This is a perfect edition to any of our Industrial Strength sample packs such as 6Blocc Dirty Alley Drumstep, Dubstep Massive or any of the BHK DnB packs.
We even include a special rewinds by Chris Liberator & Sterling Moss from there bad bay techno pack Sounds Of London Acid Techno sample pack which are all featuring a NI Machine and Battery 3 kits just to take up a notch.
Rewind even includes a mad effected bonus folder with beats, vocals, and everything you here in the demo. All the samples are 24 Bit and come in Wav format.
Just think if u add effects and glitch software, stretch or distort these one shot samples you can create even more intense effects which can be used for lead ins, drops and to fill in gaps in your track or remix.
Rewind is the perfect pack for spins, yes it maybe a one trick pony, ahhh, but what ride it is!
+ All the samples in the demo are included in this pack - nice one!

(Note: These screen shots were taken from a Casio .pdf user manual as the 5345z
lacks a video output port which we use for our normal screen captures;
in some cases there are minor differences between the 5345z and the Casio QV-R51

Culver Stakes (1895) |
Americus, originally named Rey del Caredes and raced occasionally as Rey del Carreres (foaled 1892, died 1910), was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who was exported to England. He had some success as a racehorse, but was more notable for his influence at stud. He was bred in California and won the 1895 Culver Stakes prior to his export. He continued to race in England, until he was nine years old, while also standing as a breeding stallion. He stood at stud in Italy, Ireland, Germany, and Belgium before dying in Germany in 1910. Americus' most famous descendant was his great-granddaughter Mumtaz Mahal.
Americus, a bay stallion, was foaled (born) in 1892. He was bred in California by E. J. "Lucky" Baldwin.[1][2] Americus was sired by Emperor of Norfolk and out of the mare Clara D who was sired by the imported stallion Glenelg. His maternal grandmother was a mare named The Nun, sired by Lexington.[1] Americus was inbred to Lexington, as his sire was by Norfolk who was by Lexington.[3] The Nun was a full sister to Norfolk, making Americus even more inbred.[4] He was originally named Rey del Caredes,[1] but occasionally raced under the name of Rey del Carreres.[5]
Racing career[edit]
Americus raced as a three-year-old in America,[6] winning a number of races.[7] In May 1895, he raced at Louisville under the ownership of the Santa Anita Stable, winning a race on May 14 at a distance of 5/8 of a mile.[8] On May 20, he finished second in the Schulte Stakes.[9] By June, he was at Coney Island, where he came in second in a sweepstakes race on June 15.[5] On June 18, he lost a sweepstakes to Domino, finishing third.[10] On July 4, he won a sweepstakes at a distance of 3/4 of a mile.[11] As a three-year-old, Americus also won the Culver Stakes.[12]
While still a three-year-old, he was exported to England where he was registered in the General Stud Book.[3] He was imported by Richard Croker,[4] at a cost of about 8000 guineas.[7] Americus' importation to England occurred before the imposition of the Jersey Act, which allowed him and his offspring to be registered in the General Stud Book, something that would not have happened had he been imported into England after 1913, due to the Jersey Act's prohibition on registering horses tracing to Lexington in the General Stud Book.[13]
His new owner continued to race Americus, even though he was no longer in prime racing condition.[7] In 1899, as a seven-year-old, Americus was described as looking "as fat as a showyard bull"[14] before he ran in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood, but belied his appearance by running well for five furlongs before fading into fourth place.[15] A year later he finished second in the same race.[16] Americus also stood at stud in between races, and raced until he was nine years old.[7] Americus was a sprinter, specializing in short-distance races.[17]
Stud record[edit]
In 1905 Americus was standing at stud in Ireland, but spent the years 1906 and 1907 in Italy. He returned to Ireland in 1908 and 1909, but in 1909 was sold and exported to Germany. It is unknown what happened to him after he went to Germany.[7] At some point before his disappearance in Germany, he also stood at stud in Belgium.[2] Americus died at the Trakehnen Stud in Germany in March 1910.[18]
In his breeding career, Americus sired Americus Girl, the dam of Lady Josephine by Sundridge. Lady Josephine was in turn the dam of Mumtaz Mahal, later owned by the Aga Khan and a famous broodmare.[17]
