The government now will compensate a federal contractor's top five senior most executives up to $763,029 annually, the Obama administration announced April 23, an increase that White House officials and some lawmakers have tried to cap at a much lower rate.
The cap, known as the Executive Compensation Benchmark, now increases by nearly $70,000 from $693,951 — 10 percent higher than in fiscal 2010.
The law requires the administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) to set a benchmark yearly at which the government will reimburse a company for its top five executives.
Compensation for the fiscal year includes the total amount of wages, salaries, bonuses, restricted stock, and deferred and performance incentives. OFPP determines the amount based on surveys of private-sector executives at companies with more than $50 million in annual revenue.
The compensation amount applies to the executives throughout a company's fiscal 2011, but Congress changed the law in 2011 to put all contractor employees under the cap starting in 2012.
Although the benchmark is set at a certain level, companies can pay their executives more than that amount. But the government will now only reimburse a company up to $763,029 each year per top five executives.
The compensation-cap controversy has attracted a lot of attention within the Obama administration and in Congress in nine months. Administration officials warned of the impending large increase, even as federal employees were under a pay freeze.
The Office of Management and Budget "will soon be forced to publish a notice in the Federal Register that raises the cap even higher—tens of thousands of dollars above what it was in 2010," Lesley Field, acting OFPP administrator, wrote in a OMBlog post Jan. 31, foreshadowing today's announcement.
In the post, she urged members of Congress to fix the "outdated" benchmarking law.
The administration proposed abolishing the formula and instead tie the cap to the salary of senior-most federal officials.
President Barack Obama wants to set the cap based specifically on Executive Schedule Level I salaries, which currently are approximately $200,000. Obama offered the suggestion in September in his plan for economic growth and deficit reduction.
In an April 23 Federal Register notice, OFPP wrote that the growth in the benchmark has outpaced the rate of inflation from 1995 onward and growth in federal and private-sector salaries in general.
The new benchmark is "forcing our taxpayers to reimburse contractors for levels of executive compensation that cannot be justified for federal contract work," OFPP officials wrote in the notice.
Senators are attempting to get the benchmark changed.
While the Senate's Fiscal 2012 National Defense Authorization Act included a cap on contractor compensation for salaries, that provision failed to make it into the final version of the law. The law did however, expand the cap to include all contractor employees, not just the top five executives.
As a result, Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) introduced the Commonsense Contractor Compensation Act of 2012 (S. 2198) that extends a $400,000 cap which would to cover all contractor employees and equals the president's $400,000 annual salary. But the bill has not been passed.
As for actual salaries, Grant Thornton surveyed more than 100 companies in 2011 for its annual report on government contractors and reported average salaries for executives.
It found that a company with between $51 million and $100 million in annual revenue, the highest paid executive earns an average of $380,000 per year. At companies with more than $100 million in revenue, the highest paid executive earns an average salary of $600,000.

Setting the cap at $763,029 is far too excessive. Almost twice what the President earns! I have seen both good and bad performance from some top companies at the working level. We don't contract for the work done by top executives. We pay for working level employees. Senators: Work to pass a reasonable cap at approx. $300K. Contractor executives should not be reimbursed at more than we pay the top US Executive, the President. So much greed in the private sector! If this current cap is accepted, Gov't employees salaries are much lower by comparison. This should stop the attacks on Federal Worker's salaries and compensation! They are not overpaid or over compensated. Federal employyes have not seen a salary increase in 3 years. This is not keeping pace with inflation and the annual increases in insurance premiums. But legislators still want to take away more of their take home pay.
In working with IT Contractors and IT temps, I can tell you there have been many positive things information technology contractors have accomplished: combating terrorism, cleaning up the environment and managing vast amounts of critical data. Many of them work hard to add value for the government agencies they work for: http://www.insourcegroup.com/

Mondelez International's (NASDAQ:MDLZ) recently announced 4Q'12 earnings show that the company failed to live up to analysts' expectations. Earnings per share [EPS] fell short of expectations by $0.02 per share. MDLZ registered net revenues of $9.50 billion, missing analysts' consensus of $9.69 billion. Reflecting on the performance, the company's chairman expressed: "Frankly, the topline was little lighter than expected."
However, I am bullish on the stock, because last year, MDLZ experienced a major transformation in the form of a spinoff of its grocery business, so it will take time before it starts meeting long-term targets. Company's topline growth target rate in the range of 5%-7% is very attainable, because around 44% of its revenues are coming through emerging markets, which are experiencing decent growth rates. Moreover, the company also maintains a very healthy growth rate in its power brands, along with opportunity to tap white spaces available all over the world.
MDLZ is the one of the world's largest snack companies with annual sales of around 36 billion. It has the largest global share in biscuits, candies and chocolates, with the second largest share in the gum market. It also has a large footprint in developing markets, with operations running in more than 80 countries. Some of the major brands are Cadbury, Oreo and Tuc.
Financial Performance
MDLZ experienced a growth of 3.7% in net organic revenues, out of which 2.1% and 1.6% were attributed to volume mix and pricing, respectively. Power brands' net organic revenues beat the consolidated quarterly revenues helped with an attractive growth of 7%. The table below shows growth in the net organic revenues among different markets.

Source: Company Data
The developing markets of Asia-Pacific and Latin America experienced a double-digit growth rate. The Brazilian and Russian economy also rebounded and contributed in high-single digit growth rate. Europe's segment managed to grow its sales volume, but it was largely offset by declining coffee prices. However, North America, where pricing was a major driving force, was a complete turnaround compared to European markets. MDLZ experienced decent progress in their biscuits, chocolates, grocery, and cheese & beverages segments, but the gum and candy business experienced a decline of 6.2% YoY in net revenues.
MDLZ also significantly increased its advertising and customer (A&C) support expenses by the end of 4Q'12. A&C support expense has reached to 9.4% of net revenue. The company has managed to improve its margins, as was expected after the spinoff. Effective management of input costs, coupled with a favorable volume mix, boosted adjusted operating income by 7.1% YoY on a constant currency basis.
Future Outlook
As discussed earlier, continued economic growth in the developing market will be a key growth driver, since MDLZ has a significant exposure in these markets. The rising middle class, coupled with low per capita consumption level, which is expected to rise in developing markets, is setting a perfect stage for MDLZ to tap this opportunity in the next few years to come.
MDLZ should also target the white spaces available around the globe, and this alone can bring about 1% change in revenues. There is a tremendous opportunity of white space for gum in Eastern Europe, Australia and China. On the same lines, Latin American countries along with Turkey and Ukraine have white space in chocolate segment. Combination of MDLZ and Cadbury results in revenue synergies which will enhance operating margins, lower overhead cost and expand distribution platforms.
I believe that MDLZ has an immense potential to improve its margins. As shown in the table below, margins are relatively suppressed compared to its peers, and I don't see a reason why this will continue. I expect margins to rebound due to improved sales potential, improved management of input costs and enhanced distribution channels. Also, MDLZ seems confident in passing on the rising costs to consumers, since they have done this with success in the past.

MDLZ's policy towards A&C support expenses, which have been directed towards the power brands, seems sensible, since these power brands generate almost twice the revenues as the company as a whole. Moreover, MDLZ is also addressing issues such as tactical sales, marketing execution and capacity buildup, which are geared towards product availability and increasing customer base, especially in developing markets. So, MDLZ's focus is directed towards strengthening its current operations through new product launches and tapping white places.
MDLZ did fail to meet the analysts' expectations, but it is well on its way to generate promising results. Declining coffee prices, which lowered 4Q'12 revenues, are expected to rebound after 2Q of this year. Moreover, the company is looking at a great year ahead by directing their focus to core problems by improving sales and distribution network.

Not only are the pieces exquisitely designed, and run the gamut from classic to modern, but the accompanying outdoor textiles and accessories are gorgeous.

Check out the website to see the complete Garden collection including; planters, architectural elements, lighting, textiles, accessories, and tools. ***Caution: be sure to have a handkerchief ready to catch the droplets of drool sure to form as you peruse the collection.
12 comments:
Loving everything. I'm also noting a much higher quality in the photography and styling for the catalogue shoots over the last few seasons. I mean seriously, the profile shot of that beautiful klismos chair - featured almost like a garden ornament . . . with the mist fading in the background.

Fenwick Island
In case you missed it, there have been some changes here
Plenty has happened around the community over the off-season. In case you've been out of town, or have just been too busy to stay on top of things, here are some of the items that could most affect your summer season.
Atlantic Physical Therapy builds strength
A boxing injury pulled Bobby Hammond out of the ring when he was younger, but physical therapy helped him climb back in the ring a few months later.
Today, the physical therapist helps other people regain their strength through rehabilitation at Atlantic Physical Therapy's newest location, in West Fenwick.
"Our goal is to implement a life change," said Hammond, adding that he hopes patients "live a healthier life, a pain-free life, which ultimately is a safer life."
His father, Robert Hammond, first opened the Ocean Pines, Md., location of APT in 1998, adding locations in Salisbury, Md., Laurel, Del., Millsboro and just recently in West Ocean City, Md.
"People come in for such a broad range of things," said Bobby Hammond, company vice president. "Everyone's treatment is tailored to them."
Therapists help with previous fractures, falls, post-operative care, stroke victims, Parkinson's patients, sports injuries, neurological rehab, automobile- and work-related injuries and more.
"We go through exercises with the patients. It's constant one-on-one supervision," Hammond said. "We're coaching them through the whole experience, and I think that makes us unique."
He said empathy is part of his approach to physical therapy.
"We treat them the same way I would treat my mother. You have to have compassion."
Barefoot Gardeners to hold annual sale this weekend
The Fenwick Island-based Barefoot Gardeners Club will be holding its annual plant sale this Saturday, to raise money for the club's community outreach projects.
"We offer planters, planted containers, flowers, herbs, some vegetables, and succulents," said Susan Caldwell, one of the club's founders and its current president. "There will be people there from the club that can help buyers with what they may want to plant, to help them organize their container or help them put together a good combination of plants."
The plant sale will be held Saturday, May 9, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., rain or shine, in Fenwick Island, at the home of Vivian Jennings.
"We're thankful for her making her property available for the sale," said Caldwell. "She maintains her yard beautifully."
Vino & Vinyl at Fenwick Wine Cellars on May 24
Fenwick Wine Cellars will host a creative afternoon of wine and decorating lighted wine bottles with Vocal Vinyl on Sunday, May 24, at 12:30 p.m.
The $25 price of admission includes one lighted wine-bottle lamp, high quality outdoor pre-cut vinyl in beautiful colors and designs, and instruction from the owner of Vocal Vinyl to create an Ocean Devotion-themed bottle lamp to take home.
Karimali for Hair offers new services in new Fenwick location
While Karimali for Hair may be offering some new services, including makeup and full body waxing at their new location in Fenwick Island, they're still offering the same service that has made their customers feel like family for the past seven years.
"Most of my friends are my clients," explained Gina Karimalis, who owns the shop with her husband, Costa. "They turn into my family. I maybe met them doing their hair, but they become my family."
As a professional hairstylist in their area throughout her entire life — much like most of her entire staff, with which she has worked for just as long — to Karimalis, the inviting, family-like atmosphere is just the way it's always been.
"You'd be surprised. This is a hangout," she said. "To me, it just seems so normal."
But with Karimalis working on both women's and men's hair, and even children's hair, it's not just the girls gabbing in the shop.
Unoccupied homes used as mail drops in terrorism-related scheme
Fenwick Island Police Chief William Boyden offered a warning to local property owners at the April 24 town council meeting, noting that it had been discovered that criminals with reported connections to terrorism were using homes unoccupied during the winter as mail drops for credit and cash cards that had been obtained through identity and credit theft.
Feds seek input on deep-water permitting
Mid-Atlantic survey first step in oil/gas drilling
Two Texas companies have requested permission to perform surveys off the Delaware coast for potential oil and gas reserves. GX Technology Corporation and Spectrum Geo Inc. applied for permits to do deep-penetration seismic surveys on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf.
One Coastal bringing new concepts to Fenwick for year two
Carlie Carey is excited beyond control.
It's not hard to tell after walking through the door of her newly renovated restaurant, One Coastal in Fenwick Island, and being greeted with a high-five, a hug and unprecedented enthusiasm.
But she's not just excited about last weekend's grand re-opening event with the Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce — she's excited because of all the new happenings at One Coastal as they approach what will be their first full summer season in business, in which they'll be able to see all of their off-season planning and changes come to fruition.
"We can't wait to start the year," said Carey. "This year we had time to hand-pick everything. Every menu item, every staff member, every piece of fruit or vegetable that goes into one of our juices — it's all done on purpose. Our personality is shining through this year, and I am so proud that we have the staff to make that happen."
Freeman takes center stage
Freeman Stage announces biggest season ever
In planning the star-studded lineup for the Freeman Stage at Bayside, Michelle Freeman said she wanted every performance to be something that she, her parents or her children would enjoy. And, with more than 50 performances being offered, the 2015 season hits that nail on the head, with a variety of music, dance, theater and children's performances.
Zen Spa's new 'bar' blowing up in Fenwick
Zen Spa's new "blowout bar" is now in operation near Fenwick Island, gaining recognition as the only one of its kind on Delmarva.
"This is different. There is nothing like this around here," explained owner Stacey Wetzstein. "It's a bigger-city thing. Everybody has a hairstylist at home. When you're on vacation, come in. You're going to get a fantastic wash. You're going to get blown-out in style."
The concept is so new and unique to the area that some customers have never ever heard of it, she said.
"A lot of people don't know what a blowout bar is," said Wetzstein, going on to explain that the basic service includes a shampoo, deep conditioning, head massage and then finally a "blowout" hair dry — for those heading out on the town or who just don't want to do their own hair and makeup.
Supremo puts new spin on brick-oven pizza
For pizza chef Ira Mensh, it's all about the heat. And the ingredients. And, of course, the customer. But mostly, it's about the brand new imported Italian rotating brick oven that is used to cook almost everything on the menu at his new pizzeria, Supremo, on Route 54.
"My pizza oven is the only one [of its kind] in the area," explained Mensh. "I cook at 850 degrees — that's the difference."
With that kind of heat, Mensh can cook a pie in around three minutes, and up to 200 of them in an hour.
"It's all about the temperature," said Mensh, describing the oven as new technology with an old-school taste. "Most pizza places are conveyer belts. They cook about 500 degrees — 600 max if they're lucky. Other brick ovens use wood. With my oven, with the spinning base of it, there's never a cold spot."
After the pizza is finished cooking, it goes on a special tray designed to let the steam out so the crust stays crispy. The process is so efficient that Supremo does everything to order — typically waiting until customers arrive to toss in their pie.
Local brides to get help with weddings

County discusses expansion of Fenwick sewer district
The Sussex County Council this week voted to defer any action following a public hearing for the planned Route 54 expansion of the Fenwick Island Sanitary Sewer District.
Fenwick sets Feb. 3 workshop on freeboard, building height
Fenwick Island officials will hold a workshop on Tuesday, Feb. 3, at 2 p.m. at town hall, to get input from the public on the proposed Chapter 88 flood-damage reduction ordinance that council members have been wrestling with for months.
West Fenwick locals getting hooked on Yellowfin's
There are many bars and restaurants in the area, but it's a little harder for a local resident find a place where "everybody knows your name," especially along the Route 54 corridor east of Selbyville. However, there's a new spot for the locals to gather now that Yellowfin's Bar & Grill has opened its doors in the Williamsville Shopping Center.
Sophia's offers fine jewelry and more
People passing through Fenwick Island may have noticed more shimmer and sparkle since Sophia's Fine Jewelry opened its doors Dec. 4, 2014, offering one-of-a-kind jewelry, service, and most importantly, a chance to make precious memories.
Groundbreaking set for Bayside McDonald's
A ground-breaking ceremony will be held at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 13, for a new McDonald's in Selbyville, to be owned and operated by The Meoli Companies. The site of the restaurant will be at 36218 Lighthouse Road, Selbyville, west of Fenwick on Rt. 54, in the new Bayside CVS parking lot.
Burglary hits Bethany-Fenwick Chamber
The Bethany-Fenwick Chamber of Commerce's offices were broken into recently, with an estimated $4,000 worth of electronics stolen.
"We were broken into," said Executive Director Kristie Maravalli. "It happened overnight, and they got in through a back window. When we came in Monday (Dec. 29, 2014) and saw that it had happened we called the state police."
Community members invited to plunge into 2015
This New Year's Day, many people will flock to the beach in order to participate in the time-honored tradition of taking the plunge into the Atlantic Ocean to ring in 2015.
On Jan. 1, the Town of Fenwick Island will hold the Fenwick Freeze at the beach just off Bayard Street.
Those who wish to participate may on the register day of the event, between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. The cost is $25 per person, and participants will receive a Fenwick Freeze beach towel. Everyone will run into the ocean at 10:30 a.m.
Now in its 11th year, the Freeze supports the Fenwick Island Lifeguard National Competition Fund.
Tim Ferry, captain of the Fenwick Island Beach Patrol, said the swim used to support both the beach patrol and Sussex County EMS teams but now solely donates the money to the patrol.
Samaritan Thrift Shop wraps up another successful year of community giving
When Pat Plocek considers the fact that Samaritan Thrift Shop gave the community $48,000 this year, he can only say, "That's a lot of $1 and $2 pieces of clothing."
Located in a simple Route 54 warehouse in Williamsville, the nonprofit shop is pleasant. Music is playing, clothes and jewelry are displayed, and Christmas decorations softly light the shop.
Just because they pay less, shoppers shouldn't have less of a retail experience, said Plocek, who is serving as temporary manager.
"We're here for the community. We're not here to make money," he said.
Samaritan Thrift Shop is ready in times of need. So, families suffering house fires can request a recommendation from their churches to shop Samaritan Thrift Shop for free.
But low-priced items are available for anyone on a tight budget.
CVS opens its doors at Bayside Marketplace
The Carl M. Freeman Companies this week announced the official opening of CVS/pharmacy at Bayside Marketplace, located at the southwest corner of Route 54 and Americana Parkway, across from Bayside Marketplace. The 13,281-square-foot store opened Oct. 26 and offers pharmacy service, health, beauty and personal-care offerings, general merchandise, food and digital photo services.
Local author pens second book
Following up on the success of her first book, Fenwick Island resident Fran Hasson recently published her second novel, "Mothers and Other Strangers." The book is a follow-up to her self-published first novel, "Allawe," which follows Marla and Vern Alexander's journey after Marla discovers a box of ashes that has washed up on shore — a story element sparked by a real-life local find.
In "Mothers and Other Strangers," the story follows Vern Alexander, whose mother reveals a family secret from her hospital bed.
"It's a story of rejection, guilt, motherly love and not-so-motherly love," explained Hasson. "It's based on a true story, just like 'Allawe.' This time, it's based on a family secret and a family situation that eventually had a happy ending."
Fenwick Island officials begin beach planning for 2015
After a close look at advertising, Fenwick Island Town Council agreed to adjust the terms of Lifeguard Stand Sponsorship in October.
By allowing businesses to advertise on lifeguard stands, the Town first made $13,000 in 2013. That dropped to $7,000 this summer.
Fenwick may loosen building restrictions for businesses
Despite a seeming lack of building now, Fenwick Island's Charter and Code Committee is brainstorming new business footprints for the future.
After Town Council recently rejected changes to commercial setbacks, it was back to the drawing board on Nov 3, with the concept of placing businesses right next to the road, with parking in the rear.
Awards, Bands and Costumes: the ABCs of a parade
Every year, thousands of people agree: the Selbyville Halloween Parade is the place to be. The classic tradition will return Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 7 p.m., once again sponsored by the Fenwick Island Lions Club and Town of Selbyville.
"I'm surprised at how many people say, 'I was in that parade when I was a kid,'" organizer Fran Pretty has said in the past. "So I think that's a testimony to how people look forward to it."
People may line the streets from Town Hall to PNC Bank, where the judging and main performances occur.
Besides rocking out to several local high school bands, people can take in appearances by floats, gymnasts, candidates for public office, fire trucks, scout troops, pageant winners, farm equipment, classic cars and much more.
'Grab a drink, grab a brush and let the fun begin'
It was in May when Dawn McGee, owner of West Fenwick Island's Smitty McGee's, got an unsolicited email about PaintNite Delaware and its slogan, "Grab a Drink, Grab a Brush and Let the Fun Begin."
"'What do you think?' I asked two older men, regular customers, who happened to be sitting at the bar," recalled McGee. "And when they both agreed, 'That's a hit,' I decided to follow up."
McGee's office is located on the side of the building adjacent to the Lucky Dining Room. Previously at this time of the year, after the crowds have left, the room was always quiet. "But now every Wednesday evening and Thursday afternoon, I hear happy sounds of lots of people having a good time and laughing," she said.
"I was surprised how many visitors came in the summer for the Thursday afternoon classes, as a break from the beach. Now the afternoon sessions provide a perfect activity for stay-at-home moms before the kids get home. And they all get to take home their own signed masterpiece," she added.
PaintNite involves a social atmosphere in which an instructor and an assistant teach groups of people, seated at long tables, how to paint specifically designed paintings. Each participant starts with a blank 16-by-20-inch canvas on an easel, three different-sized brushes, a paper plate with squirts of the different colors of acrylic paint needed, a cup of water to clean the brushes… and a glass of one's beverage of choice.
DNREC struggling to maintain local beach crossings
After another summer of the trek to the ocean being a little too tall of an order for some beachgoers, Tony Pratt of DNREC's Shoreline & Waterway Management division stopped by Fenwick Island town hall on Sept. 26 to discuss dune maintenance with the town council. The core problem with maintaining beach accessibility, he said, is too much to do with too few resources.
Arts & Jazz Festival set for Saturday at Freeman
The seventh annual Arts & Jazz Festival will hit the Freeman Stage at Bayside in West Fenwick this weekend, showcasing live jazz performances and local artists.
'Sun's out, buns out!': Twilley's Hot Dog Hut gets frank in Fenwick
While the dog days of summer may be dwindling, the hot dog days are just getting under way in Fenwick Island, as Twilley's Hot Dog Hut opened its doors last week, just in time for Labor Day. Owned by Fenwick local Mark Twilley, who brings extensive restaurant-industry experience, the venture has been a long time in the making.
"It's something I've always wanted to do. To actually be in the town I grew up in — it's awesome, it makes it even better," he said of being able to launch a business in his home town. "A lot of friends and family have come in to help support me, and I'm greatly appreciative of that and, hopefully, the word of mouth spreads and [we] just keep picking up the business."
Twilley said he got the idea for the business when he and his girlfriend, Tara Sansone, were brainstorming ideas for things that the area was missing.

The 49ers find their record the same as it was after four games last season. Their offense is better, but the schedule isn't doing them any favors.
New England is waiting for the 49ers in Week 5 after a bye week. At 2-2, San Francisco remains tied with Arizona atop the NFC West. But the 49ers also squandered a chance to keep their offensive momentum going against an injury-depleted New Orleans defense.
The team went from 2-2 to 2-10 last season. That won't happen again in 2008, but the Patriots, Eagles and Giants are next up on the schedule.
Quarterback J.T. O'Sullivan absorbed six more sacks, raising his season total to 21. The 49ers should also be concerned about an injury-diminished secondary that couldn't stop Drew Brees from averaging 10.4 yards per pass attempt while tossing three touchdowns.
Frank Gore ran effectively for the 49ers, as expected, but he never broke a long run. And the 49ers weren't in position to force-feed the ball to him the way they did while leading against Detroit in Week 3.

Non-linear inflationary dynamics: evidence from the UK

This paper estimates a variety of models of inflation using quarterly data for the UK between 1965 and 2001. We find that the persistence of inflation is nonlinear since inflation adjusts more rapidly when prices are further from the steady state and when prices are above the steady state. We find that models that assume a uniform speed of adjustment are unreliable in periods of macroeconomic stress, when inflation adjusts more rapidly. Our findings suggest a need for a more sophisticated analysis of optimal monetary policy that allows for variations in the persistence of inflation and highlight the dangers of policymakers not using the best available model of inflation.

"Nazi Zombies Portable" recreates "Nazi Zombies" game mode on the PSP.
Ju[s]tice and the NZP team knows how to work WITH the community, thumbs up! :)
Well, ok i just need ONE ONE answer from the NZP team:
I am using "spawn teddy" for some secret stuff, but when you shoot the teddy you will fall thru the floor..
You will also fall thru the floor "ramdom" when in the game, and the dogs will crash the map on the PSP...
Activating Power_switch will also make fall you thru the ground..
The errors are just on the PSP (PSP 2000), not on the PC...
Simple Question: WAT? SHOULD? I? DO? NAO?
Guess who is going to try to take care of your map and all maps when they are selected :) (evil skype devil face)..
Mabuse, just so you know i think you will win. But i think they should make the good maps part of the game

High School Residency: Studio 1
4:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 24 to noon on Saturday, July 1, 2017.
Price: $1,200, which includes meals, housing and all materials.
This week-long high school residency program is focused on architecture, environment and design in the context of Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece, Fallingwater, one of America's most significant works of architecture.
Led by a registered architect and educator, this program provides an opportunity for students to examine and explore a host of Frank Lloyd Wright's ideas, while living and studying in the midst of this historic building. Situated in the scenic Laurel Highlands of Western Pennsylvania, the house serves as a catalyst to investigate the art and science of building, the history of the region, and environmental stewardship and sustainable design practices.
Students will engage in a series of hands-on exercises focusing on space, light, structure, and materials with special emphasis on creative problem solving, and Wright's ideas about nature and organic architecture. Program activities include individual and collaborative projects, drawing and model-making exercises, and daily working sessions in and around Frank Lloyd Wright's timeless architectural masterpiece.
- Direct access and personal connection to Fallingwater
- Architecture and design problems with hands-on building projects directly related to the house/site relationship
- In-depth, scholarly discussions and applications of Wright's principles of organic architecture
- Drawing, design, and materials workshops
- Interdisciplinary workshops in creative thought and expression
Student residents live dormitory-style at the Kirkpatrick House at High Meadow, a split-level house located on the scenic Bear Run Nature Reserve, within walking distance from Fallingwater. The highlands setting, with unsurpassed views of nearby Laurel Ridge, will recharge your creativity. We hold classes at the adjacent open-air studio and on-site at Fallingwater. Meals are locally prepared and feature seasonal ingredients.
Any student who has completed his or her sophomore or junior year in high school is eligible to apply. An interest in learning more about architecture and the visual arts professions is a must. We limit enrollment to 10 students.
Apply for High School Residency, Studio 1
Application Deadline: May 1, 2017.

Over 20 percent of Mexicans live in the United States. Mexican citizens who immigrate to the U.S. or elsewhere retain their Mexican citizenship even if they become a citizen of another country, and by law, they are eligible to vote in Mexican elections.
And if Mexican politicians have their way, they also retain their Mexican identity and Mexican loyalties – in the words of former Mexican President Vincente Fox – "unto the seventh generation."
But for today, let's not worry about the problems posed for the U.S. by this exodus. Instead, let's ask why tens of millions of Mexicans left their country of birth.
Yes, they left "to seek a better life." Yes, we understand that part. I have often stated that I have enormous sympathy for the plight of Mexicans born into that socialist economy: If I were born in Mexico, I probably would do what millions of Mexicans have done – flee northward to the land of opportunity.
But that begs the question of why Mexicans can't find a better life in the country of their birth. What is wrong with Mexico that it cannot offer decent jobs and a brighter economic horizon for its people?
To understand the answer to that question, you need look no further than the current debate raging inside Mexico over the future of PEMEX, the state-owned oil company. Since 1938, when the socialist government of President Cardenas seized the property of all oil companies, oil is the "property of the Mexican nation." That means the property of the Mexican government. PEMEX is the name of the government agency whose bureaucracy operates every facet of oil exploration, production and distribution within Mexico.
Needless to say, the PEMEX bureaucracy is horribly inefficient and wasteful – and everyone knows that. Think of it as the U.S. Postal Service on steroids, but with no FEDEX or UPS as competition. The result: Oil production has been declining; refineries and pipeline infrastructure are old and suffer frequent breakdowns; there is little investment in new technology. Refining capacity is so poor that PEMEX ships oil to Houston to be refined by Shell and then shipped back to Mexico for the retail market.
Now, you would think that since oil is the third-largest source of revenue for the Mexican government, the government would have an incentive to improve the system by privatizing PEMEX and allowing foreign investment. Sorry, no: In Mexico, that has been impossible to do politically. Proposals that even hint at the privatization of PEMEX are greeted by riots and cries of treason.
Yet, the need for modernizing the oil industry is so obvious that newly elected President Enrique Peña Nieto, leader of the nation's largest political party, the PRI, has announced a compromise plan to allow foreign investment without allowing actual foreign ownership. His proposal is now under review in the Mexican parliament, but predictably is being attacked by the left as a foot-in-the-door leading to privatization.
The political opposition to modernizing PEMEX illustrates the deep, structural obstacles to economic progress in Mexico. Not only is the Mexican constitution riddled with socialist prescriptions and prohibitions, any appeal to the "founders" is an appeal to Marxist dogma because the Mexican Revolution set Mexico on the socialist path.
Thus, it is not surprising that millions of Mexicans, especially young people, have chosen to move to "El Norte," to make the hazardous journey to seek a better life in the United States. Who can blame them?
Mexicans will continue to do so until one of two things happens – either the Mexican people abandon socialism and allow the flowering of free-market capitalism, or the people of the United States decide to take border security seriously.
The irony of the situation is this. The Mexican people will not know true prosperity and expanded job opportunities as long as its government can postpone the day of reckoning by exporting people to the north. Closing that escape hatch would hasten the day when Mexico discovers that the greatest "land of opportunity" is Mexico itself – if only they would throw off the shackles of socialist dogma.

Home theaters are becoming ever more affordable according to new data just released by the Consumer Electronics Manufacturers Association (CEMA). In 1997, dollar sales of home-theater products reached $8.2 billion---a slight drop from the $8.3 billion generated in the previous year---but many of the essential components of home-theater systems sold more units than ever before. Overall unit sales of home-theater products rose 5%.
Last week, Philips Semiconductors announced the first single-chip MPEG2 video encoder for home PCs. Dubbed the SAA6750H, this chip provides a low-cost way to store analog (VCR) video in a digital form on various media, such as CD or proposed recordable forms of DVD. Previously, consumers had to rely on expensive professional equipment that could easily run into thousands of dollars.
According to a recent Reuters report, London-based Cambridge Display Technology (CDT) has announced a very original product: a plastic video display. In the report, the company said, "CDT and its Japanese partner, Seiko-Epson Corp., have unveiled the world's first plastic TV display and will set aggressive targets for commercializing the technology." According to CDT chief executive Danny Chapchal, "The announcement will demonstrate that our technology is very close to commercialization for computer and video display applications."
At the upcoming National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) show, Sony Electronics will be showing a full line of professional products to enable DTV implementation in 1998. The company's Business and Professional Group recently unveiled its strategy and plans, which include interfacing SDTV and HDTV formats for all DTV applications through an MPEG2 environment, the industry's global standard for DTV broadcasting.
According to statistics released January 20 by the Arlington, Virginia-based Consumer Electronics Manufacturers Association (CEMA), sales to dealers of projection televisions, TV/VCR combinations, VCRs, and camcorders each climbed in 1997 to record-setting levels. The new Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) players also showed well, selling nearly 350,000 units since the product's inception in April.
January 27, Lumivision Corporation, released what it claims is the first film on DVD that uses all eight available audio tracks in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. Lumivision was also one of the first companies to release DVDs for sale in the Western Hemisphere.
The Consumer Electronics Manufacturers Association (CEMA) this week expressed concern over cable provider TCI's plans to transmit only signals that fall below the threshold of HDTV.
Just in case you were planning to use your computer for watching and possibly copying DVD movies in the near future, Compaq Computer Corporation, Gateway 2000 Inc., Hewlett-Packard Company, IBM Corporation, Micron Electronics, Inc., and Packard Bell/NEC are now licensed to incorporate Macrovision's DVD analog copy-protection technology in their personal-computer products.
In a move intended to broaden its home theater product line, Projectavision, Inc. of New York announced January 21 that it has signed a definitive agreement to purchase substantially all of the assets of Vidikron Industries, S.p.A., including its US subsidiary, Vidikron of America. Vidikron, a privately held company founded 18 years ago and headquartered in Milan, Italy, is a manufacturer and marketer of high-end projection systems for the home-theater consumer and commercial markets, and serves customers in over 30 countries worldwide.
Panasonic AVC American Laboratories, Inc. (PAVCAL) announced December 18th that it has completed development of the world's first single-chip device that will be able to decode digital television video signals and format them for display when America's new, all-digital broadcasting service begins in the fall of 1998.

UPnP Client Info
MythTV can act as a UPnP server, allowing compatibility with many media client devices. This page is intended to provide detailed information on the various UPnP clients available and how they work with MythTV.
MythTV 0.20 added support for UPnP AV, an open standard method for sharing multimedia content. This allows for a MythTV backend server to share its videos with UPnP clients.
These UPnP clients have some advantages over MythTV frontends, in that they are designed solely for multimedia playback, and are more suited for a home entertainment environment than many general purpose PCs. They are usually smaller, quieter, and use less power than a full MythTV frontend.
However, since they are not full MythTV clients, they do not have the full MythTV feature set. These devices simply support playback of videos stored in the MythTV backend, and potentially accessing music and photos. The video playback support varies from device to device, but none support the full capabilities of a MythTV client, such as automatic commercial skipping, bookmarks, and flexible FF/REW playback controls.
This page attempts to better document the capabilities of the various UPnP client options, and show MythTV users what to expect when using them.

By CNN Supreme Court Producer Bill Mears
The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a federal law making it a crime to falsely claim military medals earned.
The 6-3 ruling was a free speech victory but perhaps in name only - for a onetime California public official who publicly lied about winning the prestigious Medal of Honor.
At issue is the constitutional value of false statements of fact, and whether Congress went too far when passing the Stolen Valor Act in 2006.
The ACLU's deputy legal director, Jameel Jaffer, said the ruling was "right to reject".
"Perfectly respectable people sometimes lie to protect their privacy, avoid hurt feelings, make others feel better, duck minor obligations, or protect themselves and others from prejudice. If the court had endorsed the government's sweeping argument, the government could regulate these false statements, and even criminalize them. The First Amendment reserves to individual citizens, not the government, the right to separate what is true from what is false, and to decide what ideas to introduce into private conversation and public debate. Today's decision is an important reaffirmation of those crucial rights."
Veteran organizations are disappointed with the decision. Here are some of the statements:
"The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. is greatly disappointed in today's Supreme Court decision that overturns the Stolen Valor Act of 2005. Despite the ruling, the VFW will continue to challenge far-fetched stories, and to publicize these false heroes to the broadest extent possible as a deterrent to others."
-Richard Denoyer, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States Commander in Chief
"While we are obviously saddened and aggrieved by the overall decision in this case, we felt good about the portions of the decision which suggest that a more narrowly tailored bill which incorporates traditional fraud elements would be upheld. Since the vast bulk of the more notorious valor thieves engage in this to gain something of value as a result, they will not be able to claim legal immunity once a new bill is passed."
-Fang Wong, American Legion National Commander
I have to say one more thing, which is how evil it is to lie about receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor. Allowing someone to lie about this is the worst crime, as few who receive it live to get it in person. Those lucky enough to live and get it, personally, have been rewarded the Medal at risk of their own lives, to save many others. Some are severely injured for life. So, "supreme court justices" I say go to hell where you belong. You have all joined, what I call 'the national cabal of consentual mediocrity,' which has destroyed this nation. Again, shame on you.
Look, if some wimp needs to lie about getting a medal, that's on him or her. They live in constant fear of discovery and that must be awful, plus, since they have no idea about medals and what they really mean. They already know they have no honor and with the internet it is much easier for people with no military experience to check the story. ALL military people know that with every award and decoration there is a certificate. BS artists never have them. So next time somebody says "I got this medal or award" the news media will say "Can we see that award certificate?" case closed
Another way the liberal Supreme Court is screwing over true veterans, I doubt anyone on the Supreme Court has ever served in the military.
what if they just made it a tax that you could get credit for if you could prove you didn't lie that year about earning a purple heart.
So people can lie about being in the military, make a false DD214 stating they were IN THE MILITARY WHEN THEY WERENT AND honorably discharged and recieved numerous medals of honor RECEIVING VETERAN BENEFITS ETC BUT it is NOT a crime and they can NOT be prosecuted.
But someone that was in the military, purchases a fake DD214 that says he was honorably discharge vice discharged under bad conduct because he needed a job to help take care of me, yet he is prosecuted, does 60 days in jail, and is now on 5 years probation and made out to be a child molester. WHERE IS THE EQUAL JUSTICE?
If you lied about being in to get benefits, that's fraud and illegal. Same with your second situation.
Nope, my son was honorably discharged on Jun 20, 1991 and reenlisted the next day, he did get into trouble and received a bad conduct discharge from a court martial. He purchased a novelty dd214 that changed his bad conduct to honorable and put it on his job application. He has never applied or received anytype of veterans benefits, assistance or honors.
As a veteran one should know that lying about serving is reprehensible. Was the person in your post also trying to recieve those benefits that are reserved for those of us that served faithfully; such as medical, college, vetpref. If so then they should be charged with theft.
I also believe that someone with a bad conduct discharge had the same problems associated with their character before they lied about their discharge. That person is a fraud and a thief. Plain and simple.
My son was honorably discharged on Jun 20, 1991 and reenlisted the next day, he did get into trouble and received a bad conduct discharge from a court martial. He purchased a novelty dd214 that changed his bad conduct to honorable and put it on his job application. He has never applied or received anytype of veterans preference, benefits, assistance or honors.
Connie, you're absolutely right, it's not equal treatment and its not fair.
I think the humiliation that posers receive when discovered more than makes up for anyone deceived by false claims of valor!
Wonder what the ruling would have been if the false claims (or should I say "free speech") dealt with being "awarded" a J.D. and serving on a high-court???
thank you!!!!
Why has there been an exception, because it was a Public Official in California ? is he Above the law ? The US Justice System does not give a young never ticketed man, a break for his first DUI offence, not even a warning. But a public official who delibratly LIES about an honor (he allegedly received) that service members received after giving up there lives is given an exception by the Supreme Court. Both are misdemeanors BTW. Some Liberty , Justice and EQUALITY this is.
Sad... At least with my Purple Heart, there is a place to go online to verify whether someone was wounded in action. But, with other medals, there is no real database available to prove or disprove these claims. If you suspect someone is lying about being wounded in action, you can check that here: http://www.purpleheart.org/
As a retired member of the Military, I see a lot of wanna be and lair. I don't think we need to put these low lifes in jail. However, we exposed I think it should be very public
How does someone win a Medal of Honor? Sloopy journalism because Medals of Honor are awarded. When you use the word win it makes them seem like lottery tickets. Just use the word awarded
I hope any conservatives railing on about 'activist judges" remembers this. Here, you have the more liberal members of the court taking the 1st Amendment at face value where the more conservative ones think they see an asterisk beside "Congress shall make no law.....abridging the freedom of speech."
Why did I have to search to fine this article? It's a very important story to Veterans and their families. Should be on the main page. I've already sent it to many of my military friends who will be passing it along. This is an outrage in so many ways, especially the lack of information in the article. Can we get more details and possibly quotes from the justices? Who voted against and for allowing this guy to wear and claim the Medal of Honor?
Why do you require the government to use the force of law to get your way here? I agree it's disgraceful that people claim these things, but I can think of many other actions I consider disgraceful and I would never want to see police going around and arresting them.
let me guess, you have never served in the military
A stunning example of, " It may be legal but it is not moral/right". What was the penalty under that law anyway? Seriously, I never heard.
Seamusgirl – up to 6 months in prison. If MOH is involved it could go to a year.

My co-worker has a 2001 Mazda Tribute. He had a problem with the ABS that turned out not to be the recall problem. He doesn't really want ABS anyways, other than pulling the fuse (which would disable about 4 other safety features), what is the best way to disable the ABS? They want him to replace the ABS module and it won't pass safety inspection with the light on. Obviously the cheap fix is to remove the bulb, but it would be nicer to just disable it completely, or remove the module. Thoughts, Ideas?
Are you sure that It will not be able to pass inspection with the ABS light on? In every state that I know of ABS is not required to work as long as the red brake light is not on you are ok. Since not all cars have abs it's normally not required for a inspection. Btw The only way i know of to get rid of the abs light would be to pull the bulb. The other option is to reprogram the HEC module with as built data from a tribute without ABS.
It will pass emissions (obviously), but Virginia has an additional "Safety Inspection" that your vehicle has to pass. How strict depends on the shop you go to, I've had shops that passed me with bald tires and a snapped E-Brake cable with the promise that "I was fixing them that week"... I've had other shops fail me outright for having "too much glazing" on my headlights. Pulling the bulb is what I told him to do, since it drives fine. Reprogramming the HEC is more expensive than the replacement parts, so he'll probably just get it fixed. Thanks for the info. --Hobbes

Berkshire Blazer
Here's more details on the Berkshire Blazer from Blank Slate Patterns.
The blazer design stands out with the shawl collar.
Typically a shawl collar on a blazer is only for formal tuxedos, so this is an interesting twist on a formal-only element mixed with more casual details like the patch pockets and elbow patches.
Due to the casual design, I chose a black denim. It's actually a stretch denim I've previously used for baby jeggings, but worked.
I wanted it to act as a light jacket, so I lined it with flannel.
I sewed a size 6 with the sleeves size 7 length.
I like to try to add length for room to grow. My son's mainly just growing up at this stage, so I'll be able to lengthen the sleeves when they get Frankenstein-ish.
The dog is Grandma's along with the terrain.
We took the photos on her land, they call these sagebrush fields out in the desert "grease woods".

PROSITE documentation PDOC00324 |
α-L-fucosidase (EC 18.104.22.168) [1] is a lysosomal enzyme responsible for hydrolyzing the α-1,6-linked fucose joined to the reducing-end N-acetylglucosamine of the carbohydrate moieties of glycoproteins. Deficiency of α-L-fucosidase results in the lysosomal storage disease fucosidosis.
A cysteine residue is important for the activity of the enzyme. There is only one cysteine conserved between the sequence of mammalian α-L-fucosidase and that of the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum. We have derived a pattern from the region around that conserved cysteine.
Note:These proteins belong to family 29 in the classification of glycosyl hydrolases [2,E1].

In the second period, Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin left the game after being tripped to the ice by Penguins defenseman Kris Letang. The injury was the only buzzkill of the evening in which the Capitals scored a touchdown (plus an extra point) against their biggest rival.
Several minutes later, Ovechkin would return and go out for a shift with the Capitals power play. In the third period, the Russian machine scored his eighth goal of the season.
Tuesday afternoon, the NHL announced a one-game suspension for Penguins defenseman Kris Letang. The linchpin of Pittsburgh's blueline delivered a head shot to Capitals forward Marcus Johansson in Washington's offensive zone during the first period. Letang was given a two-minute minor penalty for interference.
Johansson left the game and returned at the start of the second period, playing over 18 minutes. He passed concussion tests, but complained of neck pain. Tuesday morning, Johansson was held out of practice due what the Capitals termed an upper-body injury.
The Department of Player Safety explains their decision below.
Monday morning, Barry Trotz put on a figurative tinfoil hat and said one of the most wacky things he's ever said as Caps coach. Frustrated by the length of Brooks Orpik's three-game suspension, Trotz suggested the NHL favors the Pittsburgh Penguins.
"I'm disappointed, but I'm not surprised based on who we're playing and all that," Trotz said.
Later when asked to clarify, Trotz replied, "Take it for whatever you want."
I, a rational human being, do not believe the NHL favors one team over another. But the problem is the optics. And the main provider of said optics is NBC, the NHL's American TV partner.
Over the years, NBC's analysis during intermission can basically be summed up like this: yell first, think later. Whether it's Jeremy Roenick calling Alex Ovechkin a bad defensive player due to plus-minus or Keith Jones pushing tired narratives, NBC's hockey analysis can seem more about settling scores than communicating constructive information. (It's basically the opposite of CSN Mid-Atlantic's coverage of Caps games.)
Mike Milbury, whose personality wavers from patient to cranky night to night, is the kingpin. During the first intermission of Game Two, Grumpy Milbury launched into an angry screed about Brooks Orpik's headshot on Olli Maatta. The Orpik hit was bad, don't get me wrong, but Milbury's analysis still somehow managed to be over-the-top.

The stars of the All-Star Game were a little less bright this year. Some of the familiar faces that fans expect were absent for reasons that are becoming all too familiar in the modern NHL: head injury. Approximately 85 head injuries have been reported this year, meaning that nearly ten percent of all active players have been injured. 28 of 30 teams have reported at least one head injury, while some franchises have dealt with as many six or seven. With star center Nicklas Backstrom now sitting out due to concussion, the issue has hit close to home for Caps fans.
It's time for your Puck Buddys pregame! Follow @PuckBuddys and adopt a dog.
The Pregame: Cartoonist Bill Griffith, who just this week turned 68, sees the overlooked and forgotten corners of America with blinding precision. We were reminded of this recently as we took a drive through portions of Pennsyltucky – clearly where the phrase "fat of the land" has great meaning – and its meth-addled capital, Pittsburgh. Or, borrowing from Zippy's creator, Dingburg.
Previously we anointed Pittsburgh as the Epicenter of Suck. Following our travels, we can confidently proclaim that it has become, in fact, the Pinhead Center of the Universe. The gangrenous, foul-smelling trash pile of contemporary civilization. The trucker-stop, Thunderbird-guzzling, used baby diaper of cities. Imagine if Paul Verhoeven remade "Showgirls" today with the same cast and you've got Pittsburgh, only with less sexy and more elastic waistbands. It's exactly that awful.
Heeeeeere's Doug Johnson of PuckBuddys fame. Tweet his face.
The Pre-Game: I think it was Benjamin Disraeli who said "Sometimes cities just suck." Or maybe it was Don Rickles. We're getting our historical figures mixed up.
Look, there's nothing that stinks about San Diego, the actual place. It's lovely. Or Phoenix, for that matter, if it weren't for all the whack-a-doodles. Vancouver: now there's a dandy city for you! If you can just get over all the residents piously reminding you just precisely how dandy it is.
On the other end, there are places like Mogadishu, a city that, I can comfortably assure you, sucks. Or vacation paradise Pripyat! – home to the entombed Chernobyl perpetual light bulb. Pyongyang. Philadelphia.
Then we come to the middle ground: decent places inhabited by truly awful organizations. Pittsburgh comes to mind. Hoorah, it's beautiful and their food isn't too toxic and the local rumor is that there's even a museum or something. But it's also home to the rat burrow of unctuous fink Richard Mellon Scaife and his poisonous heirs, and the 'Terrible Towel', which we rank as only just below Scaife as scabes-inducing. The Pittsburgh Penguins… and Dan Bylsma. Think about that for a moment: both the Penguins AND Bylsma (and his douche-hat) compressed into one geographic point. That single distinction alone is enough to push Pittsburgh to new title holder: Epicenter of Suck.
A time machine.
Doug Johnson of Puck Buddys writes for Russian Machine. Tweet at them anon.
We had too much to dream last night. Blame the cough syrup. Either that or this stuff really did happen. We've got dazed and confused recollections of hotwiring a hockey time machine, tripping back to the past and then ahead to the future. We saw Gordie Howe play (when men were men), Steve Yzerman (when he was hot), and the Great One (when mullets were cool). We took in a few Penguins games of yore (when a young Sidney Crosby taught us all how to laugh) and even dialed it back further to when Bruce Boudreau was slim …mer. Go Fort Wayne Komets!
Before dropping the contraption back off back at RMNBHQ (with a full tank), we bounced ahead to Friday morning to see how tomorrow's game against the Pens turned out. So this is in effect a pre-review, we promise only a few spoilers. If Thursday's game doesn't go as we witnessed it, that's because Chris has been screwing with the space-time continuum-thingie again. Ugh, kids.
Ovi swings with the knob of his stick during the Breakaway Challenge. (Photo credit: Kevin C. Cox)
Alex Ovechkin won his third straight Breakaway Challenge title tonight at the 2010-11 NHL SuperSkills Competition. How did he win it? With an unbelievable series of moves in his second and fourth attempts. In his second breakaway, Ovechkin smoothly juggled the puck in mid-air from center ice. He then knocked the puck up high up to himself, switched the position of his twig, and then swung with butt end of his stick. In his fourth and final attempt, Ovi dribbled the puck down the ice with the knob of his stick, went to his knees, got back up, and then went backhand on Marc-Andre Fleury. After he scored, Ovi sheathed his stick Chi Chi Rodriquez style as players from both benches laughed and banged their sticks against the ice. Ovechkin had a giant smile on his face the entire time.
When asked about his moves, Ovechkin replied, "I'm so excited right now, I can't remember." Fair enough.
Ovi and Green's Team Staal defeated Team Lidstrom tonight 33 to 22. Below the jump, we have video of Ovechkin's breakaway attempts and the other most noteable Capital moments of the night.

I have much to be grateful for. I have a faithful husband, healthy children, a home, plenty of food, clothes to wear, and a reason to wake up every morning.
Mostly, though, I am thankful for a Creator who made all things and yet chose to love me, an insignificant speck in the span of time and space. Without Christ, I am nothing. The things that bring me joy (my family, my art, and my teaching) can only do so because God has given me the ability to participate in them. He is the Ultimate One, the One who gives life and breath. He is the One who triumphs over death and hell, saving those who follow Him completely.
As much as I treasure those things that bring me joy, I know they are nothing in the scope of eternity--which is yet another reason to offer thanksgiving to the Lord of All.

After a turbulent summer, Twilight stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson had reportedly mended fences. But now, the unavoidable, nameless "source" has told PerezHilton.com, "The love story between Robert and Kristen is still a bit of a conundrum, it's a weird relationship.
"Despite claims that all is rosy — he's still not completely convinced that giving their relationship another chance is the right thing to do."
The source claims that Pattinson's friends and family are "totally against" the reconciliation.
"Although he's his own man and makes his own decisions, there are times when he thinks they are right. And there are moments when he continually asks her questions about the affair — so it's all still very tense — they have some really serious trust issues."
Another anonymous source told RadarOnline, "Kristen and Rob's friends absolutely don't believe that this reconciliation is going to last."
The source continued, "Robert's friends just wish he could get Kristen out of his system. They are disgusted with her behavior and want nothing to do with her."
Still, the first source gave the couple some chance of making it: "They were brought together again by a great friendship so there could be hope. Robert thought Kristen was the girl he was going to marry.
"However, that's all on hold for the moment until they try and work things out. This could go either way."
