text: About gosh ten years ago... I went to Seminary right out of college because I wanted to be a missionary. I was raised Pentecostal/Charismatic went through a period in high school where I believed nothing. Came back freshman year of college but because well I didn't have any Pentecostal groups in college, I went to a Methodist college group.. (I also attended a Christian church for regular services and volunteered at a Presbyterian Church! All while proudly calling myself a Pentecostal...)... I decided to go to a Pentecostal Seminary because I felt my time in ecumenical heaven, I decided maybe I need to learn more about what I actually was. Well I pretty much came out of Seminary after two years a Catholic...(I did attend a Catholic high school for two years).. It shocked quite a lot of people, and heck it shocked myself...I wasn't even really looking to be anything more than what I wanted to be but I could just no longer accept Protestantism as a movement... It was also realizing that there wasn't a single Protestant Church that I agreed with 100%... So it was either I could build my own Church based on what I thought things should be... Or I could maybe start asking some questions about my basis..... I really do think it was my ecumenical experience in college that really paved that road. It was a difficult choice and for a moment I did ask God if I could just be Methodist a good middle road between Catholicism and Pentecostalism... But after some prayer decided I'd go the whole route! I must say that in terms of Catholicism, the biggest thing I got out of Catholicism isn't the Pope... It isn't really Tradition. The biggest thing I got from it is the Eucharist (which weirdly enough was the big thing that made me reject the whole concept of Sola Scriptura). With the Eucharist I get an intense personal encounter and oneness with God. I did experience God as a Protestant...But I never had that Eucharist experience because well I just didn't believe in it.... Part of saying we agree on essentials is nobody really can agree on what essentials is. For example for Catholics/Orthodox/Oriental Orthodox. The Eucharist is the very center of our faith... The whole I'm going to be a Catholic was a tough things as well a woman who went ahead with all of this seminary debt! And I actually struggled some with Catholicism too because Catholicism is much stricter. However now I am just focusing more on my relationship with God....And slowly the career thing is working out too. But in a lot of ways theologically I still know more about Protestantism than Catholicism.....In a lot of areas though my beliefs didn't change that much. (scarily enough which is why I don't feel Catholicism restricts my relationship with God).

An announcement and a question about training
Blog post: http://episteme.ca/2008/12/17/getting-information-security-training-right/
Press Release: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/12/prweb1759624.htm
Now, for the question: I certainly have (a huge number of) my own thoughts on the matter. But I want to ask, because my goal is to make a curriculum full of what is being used in the real world.
If you could add one thing that you use in the real world that is left out of the CEH/pen test classes that you have seen/taken, what would it be?

We became homeschoolers suddenly. One morning our oldest son, a freshman in an award-winning suburban high school, called home right before the first class of the day. The teen who'd been harassing him had just showed him a gun, telling him he wouldn't live through the school day. I was home, babysitting an infant. Without the baby's car seat I couldn't even drive there to get him.
"Get out now," I said. "Run home."
I phoned the principal to tell him about the gun. I insisted that he not call the teen to the office on the intercom but remove him directly from his classroom. "Please," I said. "I'm worried about every other child still in the building."
Throughout the school year my son told us what he heard this youth and a few other kids had done. They'd sexually assaulted a girl in the school bathroom, broken the arm of a student's father when he tried to reason with them, fought a gang-style skirmish near the football field with the assistance of older relatives. When I asked school officials about these allegations they scoffed. So I assumed they were rumors. Continue Reading "Get Out Now: How School Violence Led Us To Homeschooling" »

Finally ! Last release was 18 months ago, and after a good week of testing the new libxml2 is out. I tried to process all pending patches fom GNOME bugzilla, most of them went in, after more or less massaging :) . There is also a new feature, transparent support for lzma compression, which is quite efficient in terms of squeezing the input without taking too much cycles compressing (and decompressing). Still this is mostly a bugfix release, but with enough changes that it is worth bumping the middle version. Get it from xmlsoft.org.
libvirt 0.9.12
Libvirt flow of releases continues, the current version is 0.9.12 and I try to keep a release cycle close to one per month. I extracted the following graph of commits activity using gitstats:
The project had a peak of activity one year ago and this is slowly decreasing now, maybe the poject finally reached the main goals that contributors were looking for and while there is still a number of things left to do we are finally entering the stabilization phase of the project. Hard to tell, but maybe I will start to decrease the rate of the release, but that need discussion on the list first :-)
LinuxCon Japan
I have been invited t talk again at LinuxCon Japan next week. Last year was very interesting, with good discussions in many areas, and I hope this will be the case again this year. It is also good to meet with some users face-to-face as oral communication is so different from the way we proceed when using email. For me this is also a way to get different perspectives and look at the project and the whole ecosystem to try to get a more complete picture.
Fedora 17
I usually update my systems only every other Fedora release but I think this time I'm gonna upgrade earlier to play with OpenVSwitch which sounds like a good way to solve a number of annoyances with networking setups :-)

I've noticed a few of my hives, maybe 5%, have bees that are blackened. They almost look burned. Also, greasy looking. Definitely sick bees. In these hives, a frame of bees will have one or two of these on each side.
Not sure what this is.
I started using hopguard last year and also noticed the first few bees like that. Not sure if there is a connection.
Any ideas ?

I faced the same questions about two months ago.
I wanted a gun where I could get all three non-trigger fingers on the grip. And 1/2 inch shorter barrel doesn't mean more concealable to me. So I decided against the PM9. (But if you really needed a really concealable gun that wouldn't kick much the PM9 would work well.)
The CW9 is a "less expensive" version of the P9. From the Kahr website: "The main differences are that the CW Series have conventional rifling, instead of match grade polygonal rifling; the CW Series have a MIM (metal-injection-molded) slide stop lever, instead of a machined slide stop lever; the CW Series cannot be retrofitted with night sights because the slide does not have a front dovetail cut; the CW Series slide have fewer machining operations; and the CW Series have simple engraving on the slide instead of rollmarking; and the CW Series are shipped with one magazine instead of two." At an MSRP of $549 verses the $739 it is $190 cheaper too.
I choose the P9 and found a new one for $539. It has been great.

|Re: st: RE: [questions on -heckman- and income decomposition]
|Tue, 28 Sep 2004 08:07:35 -0400
1. The comments on the VCE underestimation are in place for two-step procedure where you generate lambda first, and then plug it in into the first equation. Then indeed the standard errors do not account for sampling variability in lambda. This was the only method feasible 25 years back, and I don't think the issue arises in the FIML procedure, which is Stata's default for -heckman-, anyway. 2. As long as all those decompositions are linear functions of the coefficients (as far as I can recall), you can get the standard errors from -lincom- command, although you would have to do all of the algebra from scratch. If there are any non-linearities involved, the goal can be achieved with -nlcom- instead. [Wishes and Grumbles section: I know of only one case of a worse general-sounding name that can be given to a very specific purpose program: I used to have -svybs- on my web page before I figured out that (i) what it does is statistically wrong, and (ii) what it does can be accomplished by the standard -bootstrap-, anyway. Decompositions are quite common in both statistics and applied areas; ANOVA decomposition of variance may be in place, and I know that people in quantitative psychology are fond of variance decompositions trying to attribute something like R^2 to every variable in the model. Shorrocks suggested Shapley decomposition as a general analytical tool for inequality and poverty analysis, and it is certainly applicable in this case, too. I am pretty sure there are many other decompositions of which I am not aware... so the title like -decompose- for a program that does only one specific decomposition does not sound right to me. Oh well... I must be in a bad mood these days, as my latest Statalist postings are mostly criticizing :). And of course Nick was right about the informative subject lines, as well as reporting one's own attempts to find relevant info in Stata's help, FAQ and Statalist archives first.] Stas > > 1.

At first glance of this '62 wagon it seems as if it's just a well-done, yet stock four-door hauler. But don't let the cover of the book fool you. Because as we all know it's what's inside that really counts.
As you dig further and further into this smooth machine you begin to notice the attention to detail, one-off parts, and custom touch to practically every area. There's not a panel, or section of the car that hasn't been reworked, massaged or finessed. Car builder Derrick Samson, who also happens to be a ripe 'ol age of 19, has left no stone unturned in the construction of this show stunner.
Derrick started off with a nice cruiser, and simply perfected it. The project began life on a rotisserie where the complete underside of the body was smoothed. Derrick even went as far as smoothing out every weld or hole on the frame. Basically the underside of the wagon is just as clean cut as the exterior. As for the bodywork, beside the obvious lack of door handles, trim, etc., Derrick even custom made the body line on the tailgate to match the bodyline running down the side of the '62. Hours of grinding, sanding, and more sanding, have gone into reworking the warped body.
As for the engine compartment and interior, Samson Designs sparred no expense either. The engine compartment is completely handmade. The air cleaner is a one-off, the valve covers have the '62 body trim grafted to them, the master cylinder has the center cap of a '56 Chevy grafted to it and the inner fender panels and cowl are handmade, as well. The same attention to detail and customizing applies to the interior, which is built around four buckets seats from a Pontiac Sunfire. From there, Samson designed a flowing interior and console to compliment the buckets. To be sure that the lines kept a consistent flow the rear door handles on the inside were removed as well. In their place is a custom wire contraption that opens the rear doors. Donnie Closser covered what was not painted inside in Cinnamon leather. The entire car was set off with a custom mix of DuPont Sunset Orange paint. In the rear quarters a ghost image reading "Samsonator" (that's the name of the car) will appear when the sunlight is just right.
The car rolls on a set of 18 and 20-inch Torque Thrust II's. Isolating the chassis from the ground is an Air Ride Technologies Cool Ride system. Samson even designed a set of custom brake calipers that have "Samson" encrypted on them. Beginning to understand the concept of "Don't judge a book by its cover?" There are more subtle details and long hours of labor in this car than you'd ever imagine after a first glance. So from now on, keep your eyes peeled. You never know exactly what's going to pop up, especially from Derrick Samson.

It is 1836. Europe is modernizing, and the Ottoman Empire must follow suit. But just before the sultan announces sweeping changes, a wave of murders threatens the fragile balance of power in his court. Who is behind them? Only one intelligence agent can be trusted to find out: Yashim Togalu, a man both brilliant and near-invisible in this world.
You see, Yashim is a eunuch.
He leads us into the palace's luxurious seraglios and Istanbul's teeming streets, and leans on the wisdom of a dyspeptic Polish ambassador, a transsexual dancer, and a Creole-born queen mother. He finds sweet salvation in the arms of another man's wife. (This is not your everyday eunuch.) And he introduces us to the Janissaries. For, 400 years earlier, the sultan had them crushed. Are the Janissaries staging a brutal comeback?
©2007 Jason Goodwin; (P)2007 Tantor Media Inc.
"A work of dazzling beauty....The rare coming together of historical scholarship and curiosity about distant places with luminous writing." (The New York Times Book Review)
"Turkish History"
This is a fascinating book in several respects. The plot of the mystery (with Yashim the Eunuch as detective) is convoluted and clever. The descriptions of Istanbul in the early 1800's, with the Ottoman Empire contracting, are really enthralling. But for me, the really special component was a vivid recounting of the history of Constantinople being over-run by the Turks, led by their Janissaries; and the way in which the Sultan's entourage was run. It is a highly worthwhile novel!
"A Real Page Turner"
This was one of the most riveting historical mysteries I have listened to in a long time. The wealth of detail about the Ottoman Empire and life in Istambul really makes this book come alive. I love historical mysteries that really make you live in the period and this is one of them. The detail is marvelous and adds to the depth of the book. While at first I didn't much care for the narrator, the more I listened the more I felt he was just right for the book and his ability to vocally differentiate the various characters in the book is really marvellous. Highly recommended.
"Great great new series"
I found the stuff of the story to be one of those lovely mixes of history, great characters and mystery. Rather than getting in the way, I found the narrator's treatment of the story to add to the dark, misty, exotic elements within the story. I'm waiting for the next story in the series .....
"Interesting premise, annoying narrator"
As a lifeling voracious reader, I am fairly new to audiobooks. The narration is a new element for me, and adds a whole new dimension to the experience. A great fit, such as the novels by Chris Knopf combined with the downright perfect narration by Stefan Rudnicki, makes for an unforgettable experience. But, when the narration is annoying, it can render the book unlistenable.
Stephen Hoye reads almost every line in the Janissary Tree with the same cadence. Every line ends with downward note. DA-DA, DA-DA, DA-DAaaaa. DA-DA, DA-DA, DA-DAaaaa. I find myself distracted, trying to imagine at least five different ways the line could be said, other than Hoye's falling tone. It's my fault--I should have listened to the sample. (Note: I just listened to the sample, which does not give an indication of how limited this narrator is. I would have still selected the book, based on the sample. Sigh.) As the book seems fascinating, I will read it the old-fashioned way--in print.
"Too subtle for audio"
This book has been highly praised and would likely be a good read, but it is way too subtle for casual listening. I repeated sections throughout, probably the entire book, trying to follow the plot line and story. This is one of those books that is better read than heard - an anomaly in my experience.
Audiobooks have literally changed my life. I now actually ENJOY doing mindless chores because they give me plenty of listening time!
"Exotic and Entertaining"
In this historical novel set in 1836 Istanbul, a eunuch named Yashim is asked to investigate into several cases. There are four officers who have gone missing (one of which turns up dead in an oversized cauldron a short while later); the sultan's most recent concubine is murdered in her bed; and the sultan's mother's jewels have gone missing. In the case of the officers, Yashim finds clues that seem to point toward the Janissaries as being responsible for the abduction and it's aftermath. The Janissaries had had a powerful presence in Turkey until 1826, just a decade previous to the start of our story. An elite force created by Sultan Murad I in 1383, they formed the Ottoman Sultan's household troops and bodyguards, but Sultan Mahmud II found them to be an unruly and disruptive presence, and wanting to create a modern army to keep up with the Europeans, he disbanded and slaughtered the Janissaries. But it seems there were survivors after all, and Yashim needs to figure out what they are up to to stop more bodies from turning up dead. Aiding him in his search for clues are his colourful and somewhat eccentric friends, the Polish ambassador and a transsexual dancer. A complex plot and an entertaining mystery set in an exotic place which is undergoing a great transition from ancient traditional customs to European modernization. I would have liked to find out more about Yashim himself, but perhaps more is revealed about him in the following 3 novels.
Loved Stephen Hoye's narration.
"A Good Read"
Plot, characterization and setting expertly written. Solid historical fiction.
Plot line was compelling. I was bothered by the descriptions of the macabre homicides, which is why I give it a "4", not a "5".
Easy to listen to.
Stephen Hoye's Polish accent sounded too much like a Yiddush accent!
One must listen hard to this story to keep the characters and storyline straight. In the end, only the historical aspects seem worth the trouble.
"Wretched Reader"
I lasted 30 minutes but had chuck it thereby "donating" my money to Audible/Amazon which makes me mad but the reader/performer was terrible. His style sounds as if he thinks he's really good (and someone does as he got paid to do this recording job) but his style is pretentious. You don't believe the characters because it's as if the performer is saying "just listen to this clever - breathy - new vocal trick." His rate is also problematic - very slow as if he thinks it's really important that we hear every word his melodious (officious) voice is uttering. I have never disliked an actor/reader like this before. This is the 2nd audible book I couldn't finish because of the reader - the first was a Stephen King read by Stephen King and he was terrible but then he's not a professional - this guy is supposed to be. I've got more than an hour's drive to get home from work and to get angry because of the wretched performance of a reader does NOT make for a happy Friday. Fortunately, I had an Adrian McGinty book read by Gerard Doyle (I think that's his name) on my mp3 player so the drive home was not a total auditory loss. I regret we can't get our money back for loser readers. I think the story is probably good, but in an audio book the performer must be good as that's how the text is delivered. I may go to the library and get the book, but not one more penny will paid for it. I will, however, remember Stephen Hoyle's name and will NEVER buy another book that he's reading.
I am a big fan of "period" pieces. "The Alienist", "The Name of the Rose" and "The Devil in the White City" are among my favorite books. I also enjoy experiencing unfamiliar settings and cultures. This, and the fact it won the Edgar, was why I chose to listen to this book. Unfortunately, I just could not get into it on any level. This caused my attention to the book to frequently drift. Replaying those parts I "skipped" did not seem to help. Maybe I was just having a bad day, or maybe the book was not as good as everyone else says it was. I will never know for there just is not anything there pulling me back into the story for a second listen.

Upgrade from version 1 to version 2?

Upgraded to V2
Well I upgraded to V2 and spent time working with it the last few weeks, and have to say I am very disappointed. It did import all my custom foods, and I have a fancy new button that says "Sync" which only works if you also have the premium online version. The database, print, and exports features appear to be exactly the same. The search for foods functions still pulls up a zillion things that you have to search for, like you search for chicken breasts and it's halfway down the list. The only reason I can see to upgrade to the newest version is if you are also going to use the premium edition online, so that you can sync the two together.
In fact I told my dh last night that the only thing I got for my $19.95 was a new color scheme!
Very disappointed, would have expected to be able to at least have more print options, like print a weeks worth of menu's for your trip to the doctor. An updated database would have been nice too, but it seems to be the same too. Just not sure what exactly was upgraded, except the sync button.
I do want to add that I have used Fitday since 2003 and have found it very useful, just disappointed that I can't seem to find any differences between what I had and what I just upgraded to.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The flat was in the heart of the city, clean, beautiful and quite.
I would recommend it to everyone!
warm regards
We had a lovely weekend in beautiful Sevilla. The apartment was complete and cosy and very centrally located, near Giralda in a quiet street. Perfect communication with Carmen, Rocio and Paco. We will be back!
Positive was the quiet location of the apartment and it was clean. Generally speaking utilities were ok. Further the neighbourhood with the fresh market around the corner and the beautiful square with a lots of restaurants and bars.
Minus points the apartment was quit dark with a bit poorly atmoshere.
Basic needs like soap and toiletpaper were missing.
The welcome was disappointing like they did not know that we came there for a week. And the wifi does not function well.
Nice, clean and in the middle of the city, but very noisy.
An excellent apartment close to the Cathedral & the bullring , calle Adriano with a large selection of restaurants & bars was mere steps away from the front door.
The apartment was air conditioned , the TV had a facility to change the Spanish version of many programmes back to the original English language version , hot water was constantly available & the washing machine was a Godsend.
Hugely impressed and would return.
Fine appartment a bit noicy but that's a feature of the Spanish temper.
Great location, clean apartment and equipped to comfortably accommodate 4 persons. I highly recommend it.
Ottima posizione, appartamento pulito e attrezzato per ospitare comodamente 4 persone. Lo consiglio vivamente.
We had big expectations on this apartment, due to the very high price. We are very disappointed! Improvements have to be done to make this study serious, otherwise stop rent out.
Negative things:
- The study did not have any air-conditioning this must be mentioned in the description of the appartment!!!! Imagine, in July with 30 degrees and three Tapas bars just under our balcony, made it impossible to sleep, because we had to have the balcony door open (noisy until 3 a.m.). With closed door you could not sleep due to the heat.
- The study was quite dirty and non-fresh. Marks on wall paper etc. and we had to clean the bathroom ourselves before using it.
- The stove was in a bad condition. Only two out of four stove plates functioned.
- The sheet was too small for the mattress, so where ending up laying on the mattress itself
- The balcony was very small
- The pots and pans were worn out with broken layer. Must be upgraded (the rest of the kitchen and tools were Ok)
Positive things:
- The study is very close to the beach
- The view from the balcony was very nice
- The study has a washing machine
- If it is too windy on the beach there is a swimming pool included
We spent 4 days in Sevilla and thereby enjoyed the apartment.
1. ligt very verkehrsgünstig.Bushaltestelle is about 5 minutes walk round also great shopping and Restataurants
2. the apartment is on the 3rd floor, although no elevator, but very quiet, no traffic noise and a very nice and big Dachterrassenach East located that you can have breakfast with the sun mornings and evenings for a nightcap time it is in shadow.
3. the apartment is very tastefully furnished one notices that they inhabited IRD only drawback, the owner has stored so many utensils, we had relatively little storage space for our Reisegepäch.
4. key handover and final acceptance apartment were very straightforward, the owner even had a young man who has committed a parking lot kept us right in front of the apartment free.
Overall, we were very happy with the apartment
Wir haben 4 Tage in Sevilla verbracht und dabei die Wohnung sehr genossen.
1. sie ligt sehr verkehrsgünstig.Bushaltestelle ist ca 5 Min entfernt ringsum auch gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restataurants
2. die Wohnung liegt im 3.Stock zwar kein Aufzug ,dafür sehr ruhig,kein Verkehrslärm und eine sehr schöne und grosse Dachterrassenach Osten gelegen dass man morgends mit der Sonne frühstücken kann und abends zur Schlummertrunkzeit liegt sie im Schatten.
3. die Wohnung ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet man merkt dass sie bewohnt ird einziges Manko,die Besitzerin hat so viele Utensilien lagern,dass wir für unser Reisegepäch relativ wenig Stauraum hatten.
4. Schlüsselübergabe und abschliessende Wohnungsannahme waren völlig unkompliziert die Besitzerin hatte sogar einen jungen Mann engagiert der uns einen Parkplatz direkt vor der Wohnung frei gehalten hat.
Insgesamt waren wir mit der Wohnung sehr zufrieden

Quotes of the day
posted at 8:01 pm on August 4, 2013 by Allahpundit
The White House said top administration officials gathered late Saturday over a terror threat that provoked the State Department to close more than 20 diplomatic posts and issue a worldwide travel alert.
National Security Adviser Susan Rice chaired a meeting with 12 administration officials including the secretaries of State, Defense and Homeland Security and the directors of the FBI, CIA and NSA, according to a White House statement…
The State Department's travel alert said the threat was focused particularly in the Middle East and North Africa and was "possibly occurring in or emanating from the Arabian Peninsula." Yemen has become a central focus of the warnings.
The terror threat prompting the U.S. government to close nearly two dozen embassies and consulates Sunday is the most specific, credible threat information in years, CBS News senior correspondent John Miller reports.
Intelligence officers have reporting from a reliable source that a major plot is under way and that the team to carry it out has been selected and is in place, Miller reports…
What authorities don't have is the date, the timing or the target of the attack, which is why they have taken such an approach to warning potential targets, Miller reports.
On the day that almost two dozen U.S. embassies and consulates across North Africa and the Middle East are closed following the identification of a significant threat from an al-Qaeda affiliate, a senior U.S. official is providing new details about the communications intercepted from the terrorists, telling ABC News that al-Qaeda operatives could be heard talking about an upcoming attack. The official described the terrorists as saying the planned attack is "going to be big" and "strategically significant."
"The part that is alarming is the confidence they showed while communicating and the air of certainty," the official said, adding that the group – Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula – appeared to have a media plan for after the attack…
"We do not know whether they mean an embassy, an airbase, an aircraft, trains," the official said…
The official also said authorities were stunned that the group broke "operational security" – meaning they talked likely knowing it would be picked up by intercepts.
The chatter among al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula operatives had gone on for weeks but increased in the last few days, the officials said…
The warnings also come as news has surfaced that al Qaeda's leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, has appointed the head of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, Nasser al-Wahishi, as his overall general manager of the terror network, Seth Jones of the Rand Corporation said…
Officials have told CNN that some analysts believe the threat is solely in Yemen, while others are convinced plots are under way in several countries…
According to the Yemeni official, recent U.S. drone attacks may generate reprisals.
Interpol has issued a global security alert, asking its member nations to help determine whether a rash of brazen prison escapes recently are linked.
Over the past month, prison breaks have taken place in nine Interpol member nations, the global police organization said in an alert this weekend.
"With suspected Al Qaeda involvement in several of the breakouts, which led to the escape of hundreds of terrorists and other criminals, the INTERPOL alert requests the Organization's 190 member countries' assistance in order to determine whether any of these recent events are coordinated or linked," the group said in the statement Saturday…
Interpol noted that August has been a fervent month for attacks.
McCormack asked, "what does 'rebalancing our fight against al Qaeda' mean? It's a phrase Obama hasn't used before."
The administration hasn't answered McCormack's question. In light of al Qaeda's resurgence in Iraq, our withdrawal from Afghanistan, our fecklessness with respect to Syria, Libya, and elsewhere–and now the travel alert warning about the "potential for terrorist attacks, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa" and Sunday's closing of 22 embassies across the Muslim world–the answer is becoming depressingly clear: Rebalance is a euphemism for retreat.
Al Qaeda's not on the run. We are.
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
"When you look at this map of U.S. embassies that are closed, twenty-two of them, most of them across the Muslim world, when you hear this global warning to all Americans to take care, what do you think that says?" Crowley asked. "Since the mission of terrorists is to terrorize, in some sense do you feel as if they've already won?"

Making a Break to the Water Park Capital of the World
Spring Brook • Wisconsin Dells, WI
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Up to Six Guests in a Three-Bedroom, Two-Bathroom Ranch-Style Vacation Rental Home, Any Days of the Week from Now through June 30, 2013 ($258) or Mondays through Thursdays from July 1 through August 20, 2013 ($298)

- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Four Nights
The Destination
Although Wisconsin Dells is considered a relatively small town—its year-round population is comfortably below 3,000 residents—this Midwestern outpost receives millions of visitors per year. An hour away from Madison, the self-proclaimed "Water Park Capital of the World," Wisconsin Dells has long been a warm-weather respite for state capital city dwellers and road tripping families seeking fun. Rush down dozens of kaleidoscopic slides, bob about in wave pools, and calmly float along lazy rivers in enclosed and outdoor parks -- or explore the town's namesake dells on a summertime boat tour.
The Digs
Surrounded by landscaped lawns and shady trees, the rental properties of Spring Brook range between fully furnished cabins and homes that may include outdoor living spaces, whirlpool tubs, stone fireplaces, Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and stainless steel kitchen appliances. Start your morning on the property's nine-hole golf course before enjoying breakfast on your patio. After a day at the water parks—or at Spring Brook's pool—dry off and head to the on-site restaurant for hickory-smoked barbecue ribs layered in a homemade sauce.
"I recently stayed at [a Spring Brook rental home] with a group of teenagers from our church for our annual Winter Retreat. They were BLOWN AWAY when we walked in and realized how awesome of a place we were staying for the weekend."-- HomeAway.com

Read my review - 5/5 stars
What I did
of the majestic Cliffs. The panorama is breathtaking. As usual, the weather was cloudy and drizzly when we arrived, but as we walked along the top of the cliffs the sun began to peak out. It was still quite cold, so going into the cafe for a cup of hot cocoa after our hike really hit the spot.
The Cliffs of Moher are home to one of the major colonies of cliff nesting seabirds in Ireland. We were able to see this during the boat ride we took to view the cliffs from the bottom instead of the top. On one of the outcroppings there were hundreds of birds perched and nesting along the face of the rocks
At the time we were there I didn't realize this was a location of Ecotourism, not only for the Cliffs of Moher but also for the Burren area. This has become something that catches my interest since ecotourism was the subject of Logan's thesis. "Responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the wellbeing of local people." Like our US National Parks, it is a Leave No Trace area.
The the visitor's center building has been sunken into the contours of the land and is covered by the grassy hillside. Inside there is a really cool interactive center called The Atlantic Edge. The area is organized into four principal themed areas exploring different elements of the cliffs: Ocean, Rock, Nature and Man. In addition there are a number of shops also built into the hill.
After we viewed the cliffs by land (on top), we took a boat out to view them by sea. It was an entirely different perspective, especially when the sun came out. It was a little rough out on the Atlantic, which didn't agree very well with Julie and Noah, so we lost half of our photography team. For Gary and I it was a wonderful experience, one that was over way too soon
The person we booked our boat trip with in Doolin suggested a route to Galway different than what Julie had planned. His route took us along the coast, so we decided that would be a more interesting if longer drive. We were right - it was quite spectacular. Along the way we found another castle tucked off the road on the coast. The drive down the tree-lined lane was beautiful.
This is a well-preserved sixteenth-century tower house which stands guard over the northern shoreline of the Burren. It seems like anywhere you go in England and Ireland you will see everything from small ruins with just a few bits of the original building still standing among the grasses and vines to full on towers and castles that have been refurbished. Such a different landscape from the US.
We continued on to Galway, making a few more photo stops along the way. We were lucky enough to see a rainbow out over the water, and got to enjoy it for quite a while during our drive. For dinner that night we went to Lohan's since everyone was in the mood for fish. The food was delicious but the service was the worst we experienced during our entire trip. We expect slow service as that seems to be the European way, but this was downright rude. In fact we were a bit scared to even ask for bread, thinking the waitress might bite our heads off if we asked her to do just a little bit of her job. But, as I said, the food was good, company was good and we were certainly enjoying our Irish holiday, so all was good.

Both teams were crappy, the difference was when. The Giants were crappy in the second half, the Cowboys in the first half. I'm not saying the Giants significantly outplayed Dallas and therefore deserved the game hands down. I'm saying both teams were crap, neither team really earned anything in that game and if the hole the Cowboys dug in the first half was too deep to climb out of, too bad.
But I reject completely the idea that Dallas somehow deserved to win the game or that the Giants were lucky to win. Sometimes bing one play less crappy gets you a win in this league. Every team gets them. You take 'em and you move on.
I'm a Skins fan that has been lurking here off and on for about 5 years, but with next week's game being so significant, I figured I would be spending more time here for a little bit. I have few qualms with this thread (yeah RG3 is playing great and yeah Skins fans are excited, can't argue with that), but there were a couple of points I wanted to make:
These are not "middle of the pack" stats in any sense.
Really didn't mean for my first post to come across as a plug for RG3 or something, but it's difficult to find anything negative to say about the guy. I look forward to good conversation with you guys and I hope the upcoming Skins/Giants game is injury-free.

You're welcome to your opinion, brother. He looks very, very good and based on how he's played this year, he looks like he may be the real deal.
That said there have been plenty of other QBs who hit the ground running, had great rookie campaigns and then settled in. At this point it's too early to tell where he'll settle. So you can rank him wherever you want. We've gone over QB stats and ranking on tis board forever, the fact is that they're mostly subjective and there is no clearly defined unambiguous way of rating QBs, both passer rating and QBR are contrived garbage created by a brainless media's attempt to label and dumb down the game so any pedestrian moron can pretend to understand it.
My point remains, 11 games into his career, I'm not dusting off a shelf in Canton for him just yet. I know, it's an outrageous position to hold.
I would have much rather had Andrew Luck in the division.
Anointing him as what? A star player? Is there some threshold level of experience that a player must have before he can be called a star?
Whether he will be an all-time great who is eligible for the HOF obviously remains to be seen. But right now, he is a star.

This required more time if compared to Libreoffice versus Open Office, but it seem that the critical mass of users of another piece of open source software is moving away from Oracle, I'm talking about Mysql versus MariaDB.
Mysql is probably the most used open source database, it's used in most of the more successful LAMP applications, such as WordPress, Drupal or Magento, after all the M of LAMP was an acronim for Mysql until today.
All started back in February 2013 when two large open source projects, Fedora and openSUSE, announced their intention to abandon the venerable MySQL database, now a property of Oracle, and adopt instead MariaDB.
In short MariaDB is a community-developed fork of the MySQL relational database management system, the impetus being the community maintenance of its free status under the GNU GPL, as opposed to any uncertainty of MySQL license status under its current ownership by Oracle.

Hey guys,
Just got a new laptop for college and im looking for a background that represents me. Im not sure if anyone would be willing to work on such a project but it would mean everything to me. I would love something to combine an Egyptian theme with the New York Football Giants. Maybe smoothly put my name (Haitham)in there fading in the background or in a corner. Maybe even the word Brooklyn, or a famous place (empire state, times square). Anything really. I would love for anyone to take this request, and im willing to give something back in return (not sure what though). I do make highlight mixes in my free time so i would love to make one in return for a background
Thanks a lot ahead of time to whoever does me this great favor!

UTSA observes Law Enforcement Appreciation Week
(May 8, 2006)--In recognition of Law Enforcement Appreciation Week, UTSA salutes the 48 officers in the UTSA Police Department from May 8 to 15. See the event schedule below.
"We are grateful to the officers who protect and serve, and I encourage everyone to take a moment to stop and thank them for their hard work and dedication," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society

Under the leadership of Chief David Hernandez and Assistant Chief Dan Pena, the UTSA Police Department continues to expand its services to ensure that the UTSA community and visitors feel safe and secure.
"The men and women of the UTSA Police Department provide professional and quality services to our customers," said Hernandez. "Their commitment and dedication is something that we can all be proud of."
UTSA police officers are certified and commissioned Texas Peace Officers who have completed five months of training at the UT System Police Academy in Austin. UT System Police officers must complete 884 hours of training, 266 hours more than required by the state. More than half of the officers have bachelor's or master's degrees.
UTSA police officers work in three divisions (executive, patrol and administration) and seven units (criminal investigations, crime prevention, emergency preparedness, telecommunications, access control, records and training).
Among their regular duties, the officers provide services including:
- Residential checks for out-of-town residents
- Fingerprinting for anyone requesting it for potential jobs
- Presentations on topics including drug and alcohol education and awareness, hazing, personal safety
- Security assessments of living areas and offices
- Student and employee escorts
- Special event security
A 2005 survey of UTSA students and staff reporting criminal activity found more than 90 percent selected "excellent" or "above average" in the quality of service they received from a UTSA police officer. Survey categories included knowledge, helpfulness, friendliness, quality of service, professional conduct, providing complete information and response time.
Among those surveyed, 77 percent felt safer on campus than off and 92 percent thought the UTSA Police Department contributes significantly to a safe academic environment.
Law Enforcement Appreciation Week events
- May 8, 10 p.m.-midnight, Pancake Breakfast, Roadrunner Cafe, $6 general public, free for students with UTSACard
- May 8-9, UTSA Police Department Open House, tours at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., 2 p.m., 3 p.m.
- May 8-12, Summer Safety "Citations" wishing students a safe summer with safety tips
- May 15, 3 p.m., Wreath and flag ceremony with honor guard and university officials, 1604 Campus flagpoles, between John Peace Library Building and Arts Building

The apartment was located in a safe neighborhood and clean.
You have everything (supermarket, restaurants) close by, but to the metro station (subte) you have to walk about 10 min.
It was easy to communicate with the landlord, but because of the dividing wall the apartment is very dark. For this reason you cannot study there after 6 o'clock.
El alojamiento y el barrio, bien. Hay ruido del edificio en obras adyacente, que dificulta el reposo.

Nay, he is not the top flight athlete of which top 20 LB's are made of and the combine will only help reinstate that fact
I say yay only because we have a crucial linebacker need BUT....when have you known the Giants 2 pursue any player rookie or vet, that has media issues. We tend to shy away from players with drama so seeing him in a Giants uniform is not likely 2 happen...I think thats the big reason we drafted Nicks instead of Kenny Britt when the whole Plexico thing was going on....
I say no as well. Besides at 19 I think the giants would take Georgia's Olgetree if he is there. They seem more high on him then Tao
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
I'd pass he's not fast enough we need to get faster on this team. We need better athletes at the LB position. I feel Teo gets a lot of hype because he went to Notre Dame.


text: My father carried one in WW2, as the sergeant of a machine gun unit. He let me fire it one time, when I was about 12...I never knew whether it was THE rifle that he used, or one that he purchased later..........that was the last time it was fired......before firing it, I always remember him taking a pencil, while the breech was open, and sticking it down in, and having it slam shut, explaining to me, that, it could have been my fingers. I surely thought that it was a hell of a weapon when I was 12, seeing what it did to the trees. Filling that magazine with what seemed at the time, to be excessively large cartriges. Hell of a weapon then, still hell of a weapon know.

The Warriors have lost their second consecutive trial of 2013, going down 32-18 to Penrith in an entertaining match at Waikato Stadium.
The Panthers completely dominated the first half, scoring four tries to one to hold a 22-4 halftime lead. Matt Elliott's team were better in the second spell but couldn't make up the deficit.
Lewis Brown enjoyed a happy homecoming, scoring two tries in the first half hour.
On a sweltering day in Hamilton the Warriors opened the scoring with a peach of a try in the eighth minute. After some swift dummy half runs, Thomas Leuluai created space for Shaun Johnson. The quicksilver halfback chipped and regathered before lobbing a kick for Manu Vatuvei, who did well to control the touchdown close to the sideline.
Unfortunately it was a something of a false dawn as Penrith dominated the rest of the half and their reply was almost immediate. They marched the length of the field on the back of three successive penalties and Lewis Brown brushed off his marker and sent Josh Mansour over in the corner in the 12th minute.
Brown capped an impressive first quarter with a try under the post, following a long range Penrith break. Dominque Peyroux, who had replaced Konrad Hurrell in the 15th minute, had missed Wes Naiqama number cold, creating the opportunity.
The visitor's hot streak continued after the quarter break. A towering Luke Walsh bomb was split by Bill Tupou - who was hit in a marginally late tackle by Josh Mansour - and a gleeful Lewis Brown was there to pick up the scraps - even coming up with a forward roll as he dived over in the corner.
There was an occasional foray by the Warriors but Penrith were dominating the ruck, go forward and territory and were soon rewarded with their fourth try of the half. After another Tupou knock on - this time a clean spill - the Panthers scored a league rarity, a try direct from a scrum.
Despite the presence of Dane Nielsen - rated as one of the best centres in the game - the left side was exposed, with David Simmons being put on the outside of Vatuvei.
The Warriors started the second half positively and were rewarded with a try to Ngani Laumape in the 48 minutes, after slick work from Simon Mannering and Konrad Hurrell.
After building some momentum, a Johnson fumble gifted Lachlan Coote a try, as the five eighth sprinted 60 metres to dot down under the posts to restore Penrith's sizeable lead.
The local team had dominated the third period of 20 minutes and were rewarded with a fine try, Locke searing down the left sideline to score after nice build-up play from Feleti Mateo and Vatuvei.
The comeback continued in the 67th minute, with Glen Fisiiahi collecting a pinpoint Johnson chip after Pita Godinet was heavily involved in the buildup. However, Mansour's second try in the 75th minute sealed the Penrith result.
Warriors 18 (M.Vatuvei, N. Laumape, K.Locke, G. Fisiiahi tries; S. Johnson goal)
Panthers 32 (J. Mansour 2, L. Brown 2, L.Coote, D. Simmons tries; B. Austin, W. Naiqama, L.Walsh 2 goals)
Halftime: 22-4

At this point, a 2013 Canadian Walk Of Fame star for Healey might just be a tad embarrassing and too little too late.

Tapas by Penelope Casas, the authority on tapas and Spanish cuisine, has been updated, with recipes like Fried Goat Cheese with Onion Confit, Vegetable and Goat Cheese "Lasagna", and Fried Beer-Marinated Chicken Wings with Salsa Brava.
by Penelope Casas
Penelope Casas, who introduced the classic little dishes of Spain to American cooks more than twenty years ago, now gives us a splendid updated edition of that seminal book—with fifty exciting new recipes and eight full pages of new color photographs showing tapas in all their glory.
Here are the small dishes that have long been a tradition of Spanish cuisine: melanges of seafood in aromatic sauces, ragouts of meat, sausages, tortillas, and empanadas. Classic recipes include Shrimp in Garlic Sauce, Veal Meatballs in Spicy Chorizo Sauce, Potatoes with Piquant Tomato and Alioli, and Cheese & Truffle Omelet. The new recipes in Tapas reflect the influence of the innovative cooking in Spain today, such as Fried Beer-Marinated Chicken Wings with Salsa Brava, Fried Goat Cheese with Onion Confit, and Chicken Teriyaki and Arugula Toasts. Both the classic and a new introduction by Penelope Casas are included in this updated edition of Tapas, which seamlessly blends the traditional and contemporary recipes of Spain.
With Spanish cooking at the forefront of today's cuisine, this "exceptional book by the leading American authority on the foods of Spain" (as Craig Claiborne dubbed it in 1985) is a must for every adventurous cook in America today.
Penelope Casas was born in New York City, graduated from Vassar College with a magna cum laude in Spanish literature, studied at the University of Madrid, and taught Spanish literature and language in New York. She is the author of La Cocina de Mamá, Paella!, ¡Delicioso!, Discovering Spain, and The Foods and Wines of Spain and has written about Spanish food and travel for The New York Times, Saveur, Gourmet, Food & Wine, and Conde Nast Traveler. She teaches courses on Spain at New York University, where she is an adjunct professor, and has been awarded the Spanish National Prize of Gastronomy, the Medal of Touristic Merit, and Dame of the Order of Civil Merit. She and her husband, who was born in Spain, live in New York.

Pine River Council denies variance request
The Pine River City Council decided to deny a variance request by Nathan Savageau regarding installation of signs on his property for the reason that he had not proven a hardship.
The variance discussion took place at the regular city council meeting, July 9.
Savageau had requested the variance during the June regular meeting, and the council agreed to discuss the variance request on July 9. Savageau wanted to install two 4-by-8 signs on his property at the Pine River Laundromat. He proposed installing these signs in such a way that they would count as one, however, the two signs are too big to meet the 24 square foot sign limit within the city even if installed separately.
The request for a variance was denied because Savageau had not yet proven hardship, as is required for variances.
"If you're going to grant a variance without having someone prove a hardship, then you'll have to do that for every application," said City Clerk Wanda Mongan.
It was mentioned that Savageau had the option of either making the signs smaller to meet city regulations, or to request a variance again once he could prove a hardship.
In other business, the council:
•Approved a request by the Pine River Fire Department to increase the department's benefit levels from $2,100 to $2,400. Members of the department told the council that the department has the money to cover the cost of a benefit pay-out, and would reduce the benefit amount if their assets were reduced to the point that they could not afford to do so. Due to questions concerning the department's available budget, council member Patty Melby voted against the increase, and Tamara Hansen abstained from the vote, but the decision still passed with the majority voting in favor.
• Denied a request to temporarily rezone a piece of property within the city, as the council saw no sufficient reason.
• Discussed an ordinance to limit the number and duration of rummage sales within the city. The issue of the ordinance was raised by Mayor Jim Sabas, but it died for lack of support.
• Heard from Bryan Drown that crack sealing at the Pine River Municipal Airport is still under warranty for repair.
• Heard from Police Chief Paul Sand, who acquired house numbers to distribute to city residents that do not have them sufficiently on display.

Free HIV testing, awareness fair come to UTSA June 27
By Cindy Brockwell
Development Assistant, Office of Student Affairs
(June 27, 2006)--Free confidential HIV testing returns to the UTSA 1604 Campus from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday, June 27, in Student Health Services in Recreation and Wellness Center Room 1.500 at the 1604 Campus. The event is part of National HIV Testing Day.
Testing and the awareness fair are free and open to the UTSA community and the general public, according to Kathy Ceresoli, Student Health Services. Testing will be provided by Patrician Movement.

Additionally, community agencies will provide information on HIV prevention and sexual health at an HIV Awareness Mini-Fair from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the University Center galleria outside the Retama Auditorium (2.02.02), 1604 Campus.
Participating agencies include Metro Health, Planned Parenthood, San Antonio AIDS Foundation and the UTSA student organizaton SHADES (Sexual Health Alcohol and Drug Education for Students).
June 27 marks the 11th annual observance of National HIV Testing Day when at-risk individuals are encouraged to receive voluntary HIV counseling and testing. The red ribbon is the international symbol of AIDS awareness.
Ceresoli said that in Bexar County in 2004, 505 individuals were newly diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, an increase of 32 percent in just one year. Almost half of all people who become infected with HIV do so before they are 25 years of age and are killed by AIDS before they reach their 35th birthday.
The Patrician Movement provides motivation for clients and families to resolve substance abuse problems. They also provide assessment, case management, HIV testing, detoxification services and substance abuse education classes.
