Free of additives, enzymes, fragrance, GMOs, and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS)
are Pure Soap Flakes? Pure Soap Flakes
are small, translucent, crystal like, silky flakes of pure castile soap concentrate
that are saponified from a signature blend of pure coconut and soybean vegetable oil.
They are the mildest of cleaners and free of injurious bleaches,
chemicals, dyes, enzymes, GMOs, perfumes, phosphates, sodium lauryl sulfate, or synthetic surfactants. Pure Soap Flakes
are kind to people with sensitive skin and senses, pets,
natural fibers, and woods. Great for bathing, cleaning, or laundry!
Pure Soap Flakes are perfect for making semi-soft, cream, and liquid soaps by adding the right amount of purified water. Soaps that are made to be liquid from the start use potassium hydroxide for saponification and leave a residue which can be harmful to sensitive skin, and can acquire in natural fibers, such as wool and wood, over time causing fraying and dryness. Pure Soap Flakes work great in soap foamers too! See recipe below.Launder delicate and natural fabrics with Pure Soap Flakes? Pure Soap Flakes are perfect for laundering and hand washing delicate fabrics and natural fibers such as cotton, wool, silk, chiffon and specially treated waterproof sports and outdoor clothing. Wools, silks, cottons and lace launder beautifully with Pure Soap Flakes. Most natural fibers and delicate fabrics benefit from the gentle cleansing and restorative properties of Pure Soap Flakes. Laundering with Pure Soap Flakes has a conditioning and smoothing effect on protein fibers such as wool and silk, and elicits a plush softening response in cellulose fibers such as cotton and flannel. Pure Soap Flakes are kind to delicate lace and fragile antique fabrics. Babies blankets are extra soft after washing in Pure Soap Flakes.

Can my friend get in trouble for using a fake ID at the liquor store, after the fact?
Question Details:
A friend of mine used a fake id to purchase alcohol from a liquor store. The liquor store sold him the alcohol after asking for his id and they looked at it and let him leave. After he left, the liquor store called the police and reported his license plate saying that he was involved in selling alcohol to minors. The police then called his house. Can the police still charge him with something even though no one caught him or confronted him about it while he was using it? He wants to know if he should cooperate with the police and admit to anything?
Yes, he can get in trouble by using a fake identification and I would not suggest that he lie to the police about anything. That will get him in to even bigger trouble. Is your friend a minor for the purposes of buying alcohol (i.e., under 21)? Did the liquor store see him sell it to a minor? Then maybe all he was really guilty of is buying it himself. I would speak with a criminal defense attorney in your area as soon as he can and discuss what his options are here. As for charging him after the fact it will depend on the above witness (the liquor store owner) and what he saw. Did the liquor store know the id was fake? Then why would he sell it to your friend? These questions also may have some bearing on the matter. Good luck.

Liaison and Consultative Functions
The director of the John Muir Center serves as a liaison between Pacific and the descendants of John Muir, the Sierra Club and the National Park Service.
The Center consults with non-profit organizations producing John Muir educational materials and works with other organizations and media seeking support related to John Muir.
For example, the John Muir Center and Holt-Atherton Special Collections is working with Global Village Media of New York on the production of a new documentary focusing on the life of John Muir.
Funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), "John Muir in the New World" is a two-hour PBS documentary that will air on the series, American Masters. Produced and directed by Catherine Tatge, and written by Leslie Clark (best known for producing "Bill Moyers Reports" and the American Masters special, "Walter Cronkite: Witness to History), this fresh look at the life of Muir promises to be the best ever.
Images from the John Muir Papers will be used throughout the production. No airing date has been announced but we will provide an update as we learn more.

I just started beekeeping with a friend this year.... here's how my timeline has gone so far.
April 26: I get a package of Italian bees. The queen cage has a bunch of bees that look the same size to me, but I figure maybe I just have a small queen.
May 7: Still no eggs, and there are a couple (empty) queen cups present. I introduce a frame of eggs from my friend's hive (his queen started laying right away) hoping the bees will raise their own queen if they don't have one.
May 12: Didn't see the bees raising a new queen, and decided I should buy one anyway to put in there. I got a Russian/Carniolan mix queen from NEBees.
May 17: I released the queen - the bees were only about halfway through the candy.
May 21: Eggs spotted. I had peaked a couple days earlier and there weren't any, so I'm guessing she had just started laying.
Other than the frame from my friend's hive (which only had brood one one side) my population won't get any boost until at least June 11, and they won't start foraging for another couple of weeks after that if I'm not mistaken. I've been feeding them heavily and they have a decent amount of nectar in the hive... but I'm wondering if they'll miss most of the flow due to a small population.
Should I be worried or do you think I might be ok? I'm glad I was able to switch to Russian/Carniolans, since I think they can get through the winter with a smaller population/store.
I'm in Southeast New Hampshire.

Feeling like the playoffs already
|01.12.09 at 9:49 pm ET
It was a familiar scene. The Dropkick Murphy's 'I'm Shipping Up to Boston' blared in the background. Fans jumped around in their seats and screamed when prompted by Kevin Garnett on the JumboTron. Paul Pierce had an unwavering look of determination on his face. Ray Allen drained a three and the Boston Celtics bench could hardly contain themselves. It's only January, but on Monday night it felt a lot like June in the Garden.
'It reminded me a lot of the playoffs, the intensity,' said Glen Davis. 'We had to get us a win, try to get us a streak going again. We just found a way to win tonight and the crowd was there for us and gave us some good energy.'
Similar to a postseason schedule, the Celtics took on the Raptors for the second time in as many days. Sunday's game had been intense, with technical fouls and a close finish. Monday's 115-109 overtime triumph over Toronto did not have any less energy.
'They showed great fan support, like they've been doing all year and my entire career here,' said Rajon Rondo. 'That's how it is basically every game when we're at the Garden, especially when in close game situations. We need them to step up and make noise and they definitely do a great job of it.'
Up three points with seconds left in regulation, the Celtics watched the Raptors drain a trey to send the game into overtime. The starters had already been exhausted through the first four quarters. Pierce, who recently aggravated his knee, had played nearly 45 minutes. Allen, Garnett and Rondo were all approaching 40. Nonetheless, there was no let-up in the Garden.
'Actually, I felt pretty good,' said Pierce. 'Could have played another quarter I think. I'm feeling pretty good.'
It took nine ties and six lead changes for the Celtics to put the Raptors away by six points in OT (RECAP HERE). Even though the game ran relatively late by NBA standards, the fans weren't packing up. Neither were the Celtics.
'They gave us a lot of energy, just to play even harder,' said Leon Powe. 'Even when you didn't think you had any more left, you push yourself even harder just to get the win and get a stop for the fans and for ourselves. It was just fun to be out there. I know everybody had fun, with the fans yelling and the coaches yelling, everybody on the bench standing up. It was like a playoff atmosphere again.'
Just as in the playoffs, every game counts this season. The Eastern Conference is not promised to the Celtics and they have competition at the top of the standings for homecourt advantage. Whether they are playing the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Memphis Grizzlies, no game can be taken lightly.
'Our fans are not dummies. I know they are looking at the top three rankings right now with Cleveland and Orlando and us, and they know every game is important,' said Kendrick Perkins. 'So I'm expecting that from every home game from here on out. Every game is important and we've got to expect the same thing from the fans.'
It was only January but it felt like June. And the Celtics are expecting the same intensity come the playoffs.
'They got pretty loud tonight and they're just getting warmed up,' said Ray Allen. 'They're getting warmed up.'

The Pacific Coast sand stretches 5.6km between Venice Beach and Malibu and the well-heeled town of Santa Monica sits in the middle facing the best sunsets in California, writes Megan Singleton.
You can't miss it when driving along the waterfront. This 100-year old wooden pier has a giant Ferris wheel and mini theme park, but is also home to a very cool Route 66 shop for snapping up some souvenirs as this is where the old route ends. Free concerts and movies under the stars feature in summer and you can also rent bicycles here to join the locals and ride to Venice Beach via the buff bods on Muscle Beach.
One night every two years Santa Monica pulls an all-nighter with Glow, a contemporary art show held on the beach featuring glowing waves, a Ferris wheel orchestra and some crazy light installations that attract up to 200,000 in the dark.
Third Street is three blocks of pedestrianised shopping which welcomes street performers from morning till night, and some of the best retail therapy you'd hope to find. I head for Anthropologie, Sephora and Zara - and then find a place to stop for cuisine ranging from Mexican to Greek. Santa Monica Place is a three-level shopping mall anchoring the street with a food hall, restaurants and bars on the top level that are well worth visiting.
If you've seen Forrest Gump you'll know that Bubba ran a shrimping business. Well here, on Santa Monica Pier (the end of Forrest's run across America before he turned around and ran back) is one of the now famous shrimp houses that are dotted across the US. With signs at your table saying "Run Forrest Run" or "Stop Forrest Stop" depending on whether you need service, you'll be overwhelmed with shrimp choices - and portion sizes.
Sunday brunch at Wilshire Restaurant
For something rather more upscale than Bubbas, meet Nyesha Arrington, one of the hottest chefs in LA and try her stunning crabmeat benedict or the all-you-can-eat Sunday brunch. Happily it's open from 11am till 5pm and includes an omelette station and an unlimited Mimosa and Bloody Mary bar. $35 per adult ($25 for kids).

The big news, this week, was an agreement that has tax-exempt Brown University forking over an additional $39.5 million in voluntary payments to the cash-strapped city of Providence over the next 11 years.
Mayor Angel Taveras, struggling to rescue the capital from fiscal ruin, is the big winner here, no doubt. But somewhere, Congressman David Cicilline is doing a jig of his own.
Cicilline, of course, preceded Taveras in the mayor's office. And he's taken a lot of heat for declaring the city in "excellent" fiscal condition during his Congressional run two years ago. Should Providence slip into bankruptcy, his already narrow path to re-election would be completely obliterated.
The city, which has also struck deals with the tax-exempt Johnson & Wales University and the Lifespan hospitals for millions in "payments in lieu of taxes," is not yet solvent, of course.
But the Congressman, for now, is still alive.
Speaking of the Congressional campaign, some thoughts on political volatility.
A few weeks ago businessman Anthony Gemma, who waged a combative race against Cicilline in the Democratic primary in 2010, announced a second run in an odd appearance that ended with him fleeing reporters in an SUV while his supporters noshed on cupcakes.
The kickoff underscored the unpredictable nature of Gemma's political persona: an unusual cocktail of feel-good aphorism, grand pronouncements, offbeat policy ideas, and hard-edged attack (see "Jekyll and Hyde," 3.21.11).
With Gemma set to invest his considerable wealth in a run, it is hard to know where the Democratic primary will go. Will the businessman effectively tap voter anger at Cicilline? Or, if Gemma wages an erratic campaign, could it actually improve the public perception of his embattled opponent?
And what will it mean for the eventual Democratic nominee in his general election tilt with Republican Brendan Doherty? What unexpected issues will bubble up in the primary and bleed into final round? What memorable lines will wind up in television commercials come November?
These are challenging times for the political prognosticator.
This week, Ted Nesi — blogger extraordinaire at WPRI-TV — dug up the latest circulation numbers for The Providence Journal which, like most daily newspapers, has faced a steady slide in recent years.
Circulation for the six months that ended March 31 was down almost 7 percent versus the prior year. And the paper signed up fewer than 300 people for its new electronic edition.
The numbers, no doubt, are disheartening for the higher-ups on Fountain Street — and for anyone, really, who cares about the state of journalism in Rhode Island. But this is not the final word. After all, the ProJo's game-changing erection of a paywall — only those who subscribe to the print edition or pay for the e-edition can get access to the digital version of the paper — came toward the end of the six-month period and its impact cannot yet be fully measured.
The paywall was designed, in large part, to drive readers accustomed to free, web-based news back to the ProJo's more profitable print edition. Three or six months from now, we'll have a better sense for whether the strategy is working.

Or do you have to make them one at a time? There has to be a way you can make them from a length of fabric so they automatically connect, right? Or was that in a dream I had...
Any ideas?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Or do you have to make them one at a time? There has to be a way you can make them from a length of fabric so they automatically connect, right? Or was that in a dream I had...
Any ideas?
As far as I know Prairie points are made individually...at least that is how I made mine. :)
There is a way to make them from a single length of fabric; however, it's been several years since I studied that method. I will see if I can find it on the net somewhere. I know I have seen it in more than one book.
......... (time lapse)
Okay, I did a search and came up with this website:
When I Googled how to make prairie points I came up with other websites too, but this seemed to have the clearest explanation. While surfing the other sites, I noticed that there are different ways to fold prairie points so they can look different depending on your method.
Definitely can do it in one piece - it is SO neat. I'll see if I can find the link for you!
When I learned how to do it I would cut up fabric just for the fun of it!
Here's one link: http://www.quiltersbee.com/Prairie.htm
But here's a better one: http://www.freespiritquiltguild.com/...iriePoints.pdf
Thank you so much! I'll definitely give these a try!
unless i'm missing something, the instructions at all these links also result in individual prairie points. :? :?:
Thank you Patrice because I thought I was missing something. You still end up with a square that you fold and fold again right?
Prarie points are easy but slow...I have not tried the long piece, but so far mine have been mixed color :D
Well, the end result is that they appear to be individual prairie points, but in fact they are strings of connected prairie points. If you look at the diagram, the initial strip is ironed so that there is a crease running down the center when it is opened up. The cuts are only to the crease. Since the cuts from the top are offset from the cuts at the bottom, the strip is never severed. Before folding, you do have to remove the two ends that aren't wide enough to fold.Originally Posted by PatriceJ
I think the confusion may come from the picture. That crease down the middle of the strip is *not* a cutting line. They should have made that a dotted line so it didn't look the same as the cuts you make.
After you fold the first square on top, you fold the next square on the bottom and tuck it into the previous prairie point. The next square would be one folded from the top, and you would tuck that one into the previously folded one from the bottom.
Once all the prairie points are folded and tucked into one another, you have a long line of connected prairie points. The edge is that middle part of the strip which is now a fold. You can baste that edge to make sure you keep your spacing and that nothing unfolds before the edge is secured by the seam that attaches it to the edge of the quilt.
Hope this helps some! :D
i'm so glad I just saw this very thing somewhere...maybe I was looking at books online, otherwise i probably wouldn't have had a clue what you guys were talking about.
I want to make a tote bag that has prairie points on the top edge and this looks like the best way.
Prism99 you explain things well. I agree, a solid line would make you think you should cut there instead of fold. i might do some practicing with ppr before i tackle it. thanks you guys! good luck, umm, butterfywing? too bad they don't put posters name on replies. :wink:

2010-06-01 Released examinator-0.2. Fixed nasty bug related with answers that span multiple lines in the source files; they are now processed correctly.
2010-04-09 Released examinator-0.1 the first official release. I hope also others will find it useful.
eXaminator generates multiple choice exams in LaTeX quality. All you have to do is to maintain a collection of questions in a simple plain text format. Finally specify how many questions should be taken from each collection file. eXaminator will choose by random and maintains a history (in a hidden file in the local directory) to guarantee that questions are reused as seldom as possible.
For each lecture you typically creat another exam configuration file where you basically specify which coverpage should be used (you can prepare it as LaTeX file) and how many questions from which collection file should be chosen.
You can also insert a picture to a question.
eXaminator (C)2010 by Herbert Haas is licensed under the GNU Public License (GPL) version 2.
Use at your own risk. If any plane crashes due to a faulty exam then this is completely your fault.
I'd like to hear from you. Bugs are likely. Tell me if it is useful for you and which features you miss.

Online Giving
Giving and You
Giving is a crucial part of living in obedience to God for several reasons.
- One, giving is an active demonstration of faith. Sometimes, when finances are tight, giving isn't always easy to do. But by doing so, we tell God that we trust Him to provide all of our needs no matter the circumstances.
- Two, giving is an expression of gratitude to God for all He has done for us. It is one of the best ways we can say "Thank you" to the Lord for His abundant goodness in our lives.
- Three, giving on a consistent basis displays faithfulness and integrity. Through our tithes and offerings, we prove to be faithful stewards of all God has entrusted us with.

13th-ranked Chiefs pound Cavaliers behind 'hat trick' by Lopez
Conference: No
Opponent: Cavaliers at Chiefs
The Chiefs scored three times in each half and cruised to a 6-1 victory over Kankakee Community College in Sugar Grove. Waubonsee's Alberto Lopez took over the team lead in goals scored by recording a 'hat trick' on the day. Lopez booked his 9th, 10th and 11th goals of the season to move into a tie for 23rd nationally in goals scored among NJCAA Division I players. The freshman from Aurora East High School netted his first goal against the Cavaliers eight minutes into the match with an assist from Diego Munoz and Edgar Alcanter. Rodrigo Bernal put the Chiefs ahead 2-0 midway through the first half as Lopez and Bernie Conley assisted him on the play. Victor Corral then put the Chiefs ahead 3-0 with 6:45 to go until halftime off a feed from Daniel Ruiz. Kankakee avoided the shutout when Sameer Majeed scored midway through the second half. Lopez responded with his second score of the contest eight minutes later with an assist from Salvador Villagrana. The 13th-ranked Chiefs extended their lead to 5-1 when Lopez completed his 'hat trick' with exactly five minutes remaining as Oscar Martinez was credited with the assist. J.J. Clason then finished off the scoring when he took a pass from Martinez and tallied his second score of the season just a minute later. Waubonsee (11-1) and Kankakee ended the match even in shots on goal with 14 each. Chiefs' keeper Norberto Sanchez was credited with 13 saves for the game.

Good morning my fellow lacquered lovers! Happy Thursday! I apologize for the lack of post yesterday but I've been hit with a nasty cold. I'm still sick but hopefully getting better! Just a quick post today to show you a really cool new (to me) brand called Pomegranate Nail Lacquer. Now, without further ado, on to the polish!
I had to laugh when I saw the name of this one! Who hasn't gotten the blue screen of death on their computers before? Blue screen of death is a gorgeous deep cobalt blue that's full of light blue glass flecks. It's so sparkly and gorgeous! It almost has a jelly like quality to it but it's opaque in two coats. For a blue lover like me, this is a fabulous polish!
Yay a holographic polish! Cyberspace is a deep grey, not quite gunmetal, that's full of super fine holographic particles that gives it a beautiful scattered holographic look. I'm usually more of a linear holographic fan but I love how subtle this is for Fall and winter. The formula was good, opaque in two coats and a great scattered holo effect.
Velvet Lounge is a royal purple shimmer with hints of blue to it. In the bottle it almost looks duo chrome but on the nail it has flashes of blue when the light hits it right. It's very rich and saturated and looks great on a pale girl like me! Formula was great, opaque in 2 coats and easy to apply.
All in all, I liked these polishes! Blue Screen of Death was probably my favorite, both for the name and the glass flecks, and I love how rich all the colors were. Plus who doesn't like a great scattered holo? Pomegranate Nail Lacquer is available through their website for $9 each but if you hurry, a bunch are on sale now for $4.50! Plus they just released their Fall Collection which looks great and I'll have some swatches soon!
What did you think of these polishes? Any must haves? Any dupes?
The products in this post were sent to me for my unbiased review. Please see my disclosure policy for more information.

I better warn the wife. Too much change happening.
It's very possible that they don't want him back. It would have much more to do with his price tag exceeding his value than anything else. Ed Reed is as high character a guy as you'll ever see in the NFL, and Harbaugh isn't the prideful, power hungry maniac that some are making him out to be.
That would leave the team with ~$9M to spend in Free Agency, 12 incoming draft picks, but holes at FS, SS, LT, and 3rd WR and question marks at OLB depth, MLB, NT, C, and OL depth.
They want younger and faster. Reed is neither.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
If Ed does not finish his career with the Ravens it is his choice. Just like Ozzie did with Ray he told Ed how much the Ravens were set to offer him. If he can find a better deal than it is up to Ed to make the decision. This is nothing new and has nothing to do with the 'mutiny'
105.7 FM talked about it at the 6 pm hour. He's in Houston and might even be signing now. Keep your ears on the radio. Ravens haven't even made an offer. The guy says they're purging the vets to get younger and these were all guys with big mouths. Everyone knows that Reed has mouthed off in private and public and they didn't ask him to present the bikes to the NO Police Dept. JJ did.
Same goes for Boldin and Pollard. Both were mouth pieces in the locker room and HARBs doesn't want em back.
Get this. Pollard was the player rep that the players elected. He did a lot of talking in the locker room. Some of it was good. Some of it was bad but his release has nothing to do with cap space. His cap hit is only $750Gs.
As guy on radio said, HARBs came in 5 years ago and physically ripped out the lockers and mixed up the d-guys with the o-guys for more harmony. He was asked to fixed the tension during his interview so this is what he did with the owner's blessing.
So 5 years later he won the trophy and made the playoffs more than any other coach and has the juice to do whatever he wants. So it's goodbye to Pollard, Reed and Boldin who mouthed off and thought they were safe.
Don't forget, Foxworth was the last player rep who was released as soon as the lockout was over. He even predicted it.
That's the way it is. Football is a billion dollar industry but these releases have nothing to do with $$.
Just one guy's opinion.

|From AICR's Test Kitchen
|Shortcut to Healthier Shortcake
Shakespeare named a character Alice Shortcake in his play, The Merry Wives of Windsor. And strawberry shortcake was an American favorite even before the Civil War. But the term meant different things to different people: Were the strawberries sliced or mashed? Did they top sponge cake, a cornmeal biscuit, piecrust dough or even a crisp meringue?
Today, it's easy to use those little store-bought individual sponge cakes that have indentations to hold berries – but they're often scanty on taste and heavy on saturated fat. That's why it's worth taking 20 minutes to make this classic biscuit-style shortcake.
It contains just enough butter (3/4 of a teaspoon per serving) to ensure rich flavor and "shortness" – i.e., flakiness. But it relies mostly on healthful ingredients like canola oil and whole-wheat flour. The strawberries burst with vitamin C, fiber and phytochemicals called polyphenols. Top it off with vanilla frozen yogurt, a healthier substitute for whipped cream.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray nonstick cookie sheet with oil spray. Set aside.
Hull strawberries and slice into bowl. Add fresh blueberries, if using. Mix in orange juice and sugar to taste. (If using frozen blueberries that are defrosted, stir in just before assembling shortcakes.)
In medium bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. Use pastry blender or fork to cut butter and oil into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Add milk all at once. Stir until just incorporated and there are no lumps.
Form 8 biscuits by dropping well-rounded quarter cups onto cookie sheet. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until biscuits are done. (Use toothpick to test centers). Cool on wire rack.
Use serrated knife to gently slice off top third of each biscuit. Layer the bottoms with some berries and juice. Lay top third of biscuit on berries. Top with more berries and juice. Place remaining berries around each biscuit. Garnish with frozen yogurt and serve.
Makes 8 servings.
Per serving: 300 calories, 11 g. total fat (2 g. saturated fat), 48 g. carbohydrate, 5 g. protein, 3 g. dietary fiber, 405 mg. sodium.

I used to use clarins skin care but begrudgingly swapped to a cheaper make after hubby had a heart attack when we found out the clarins prices !.....I must say this is just as good as clarins at a fraction of the price !

Update: Abundant Living Faith Center co-pastor Rochelle Nieman dies after battle with cancer
EL PASO, Texas - Rochelle Nieman, co-pastor at megachurch Abundant Living Faith Center and wife of pastor Charles Nieman, died Sunday morning after a lengthy cancer battle.
"It is with great sadness that we inform you that Pastor Rochelle passed away this morning surrounded by family," read a status on Charles Nieman's Facebook page Sunday afternoon. "The Nieman family truly appreciates your love, support and prayers. We will inform everyone of the funeral schedule once it is finalized. Please be advised that ALL church services will go on as scheduled. God Bless You!"
Abundant Living Faith Center spokeswoman Elena Delman told ABC-7 Sunday afternoon that Rochelle Nieman died of cancer but did not specify what type of cancer it was.
Rochelle Nieman, a University of Texas at El Paso graduate, came to El Paso when she was 18 years old. She leaves behind a husband, two children and two grandchildren.
Just three days ago the family welcomed their second grandchild, Emery Rochelle.
The Niemans started their ministry in 1977 with just a few people and now their church family has more than 23,000 members.
From Abundant Living Faith Center's Rochelle Nieman bio:
Rochelle Nieman grew up in a small town in Raton, New Mexico. She is the daughter of two people who taught her to live life passionately and love abundantly. She came to El Paso at the age of 18 to attend the University of Texas at El Paso, where she not only fell the love with the city but fell in love with Charles. It was Rochelle who actually came to know the Lord first and eventually led Charles down the same road. They have been happily married since 1970 and have two children, Shannon and Jared, who have also dedicated their lives to working in the ministry.
In 1977, Charles and Rochelle Nieman began teaching God's Word in a small railroad union hall with 20 people. Since that small beginning, their church ministry has grown; and today, they pastor the 23,000+ member Abundant Living Faith Center and oversee the ever-expanding Charles Nieman Ministries.
As Co-Pastor of Abundant Living Faith Center, Rochelle directs the church administration, leads the women's ministry, acts as superintendent to the fully accredited Faith Christian Academy, and regularly teaches the church congregation in their weekly services. Rochelle has a heart for making people feel at home and welcome. Her commitment to ministry is driven by her belief that every man and woman, and every child, regardless of circumstance, must know that there is a God who loves them unconditionally and wants them to live the life He has for them.
"Not a day goes by where I am not made aware of hurting people around me and throughout the world. I believe that God has blessed us as a ministry so that we can be a blessing to others and help hurting people discover a better life. We count it a privilege and a joy to be able to teach people how to understand the Word of God and show them how to use God's Word in their lives so that they can begin to see things change." Rochelle
Under Charles' and Rochelle's leadership, Charles Nieman Ministries is known as a ministry who teaches the good news of Jesus Christ and physically demonstrates compassion to hurting people around the world. Pastors Charles' and Rochelle's influence continues to grow, but, regardless of size or scale, their goal remains the same: to partner with others to make a difference.

|RE: st: Statsby and weights
|Thu, 25 Mar 2004 21:19:45 +0000
I think I now know why I wasn't tempted to introduce a "parsing engine" for -parmby-, which is like -statsby-, but only works with estimation commands, and generates an output data set with one observation per parameter per by-group, instead of an output data set with one observation per by-group.In the case of frequency weights, a prior =expand- is presumably another possibility. Of course, this changes your dataset, but since -statsby- is going to change it too, that itself is secondary. More importantly, the dataset might become very large; and even more importantly, this technique doesn't help with non-frequency weights. I guess Jeff may be able to think of other disadvantages.

Koi-Koi Living Jewels
1975 Jamacha Road, El Cajon
Owner Donita Blalock can answer all your koi questions. These fish live longer in Japan (about 75 years) than in the United States (20 to 30 years) because of the difference in water treatment. Because the fish lack teeth and grinding ability, special food is required and all water must be free of chlorine and ammonia. Koi come in six grades: pond quality, select, premium select, premium, exhibition, and championship. Pond-quality koi range $7 to $15 per fish, while championship koi can run as high as $10,000. Blalock carries pond-quality and select koi, but can order any grade you wish. Scarecrows and/or hotwires are recommended to prevent scavengers from eating your investment. Service consultations for design of ponds and systems are available.

He was hosted by Chuck Shepard, who owns the Hood Doo ski area.
Shepard admits he's a Democrat, but met Richardson and was impressed, so asked him to speak to some of his neighbors.
"The reason I put this together was not so much political views, more I'm looking for a candidate I can feel good about, who I can trust. So often they turn on you and not vote how we think they'll vote. My favorite politicians have been the ones who have been honest."

Video: CNN anchor not handling this shutdown thing very well
posted at 3:21 pm on September 30, 2013 by Allahpundit
You know the coverage is likely to be especially fragrant, shall we say, when they're warning you in advance to hold your nose. A vignette from "Morning Joe" via Newsbusters:
WILLIE GEIST: Mark, at this point then, what is President Obama's incentive to negotiate? Because if he sits there, the law that he championed and the law that he got passed and the law that was upheld by the Supreme Court will go into effect. If he doesn't — if he doesn't give anything up on this he gets what he wants. Why does he negotiate with Republicans?
MARK HALPERIN: Here what's the White House and to some extent the Hill is going to monitor. One is how the press covers the shutdown and does it just go back into the '90s mode of saying obstructionist Republicans are causing a shutdown and people, real people are hurting? And the White House is assuming that's going to happen. Then they're going to watch the polls and see whether it's not just partisan. Whether by the end of the week there are surveys that show public/private, that people are blaming Republicans and that that's going to put pressure on Boehner to come to the floor and either force his — some members of his own conference beyond the handful who will never be with him on this to have a compromise. So they don't have to capitulate on the floor. They don't let Nancy Pelosi dictate what gets passed. So the White House does not have much incentive. Because they think–they think–those trends are going to go in their direction by the end of the week or early next week at the latest because again, the press is largely sympathetic to their arguments on this that it's the House Republicans' fault.
Right out of the gate, here's eight solid minutes of Ashleigh Banfield barely tolerating Marsha Blackburn's and Dana Rohrabacher's presence. My favorite piece in this vein from the past weekend was Politico wondering whether the rest of the media would be able to give ObamaCare a fair shake by reserving judgment in the teeth of early glitches and dubious White House ass-covering. Can the press muster the will power, nay, the wisdom, not to dwell on implementation's many fark-ups at a moment when unfavorable stories about his pet boondoggle might really weaken Obama's hand against those darned wingnuts?
Somehow, I think they'll rise to the occasion. Click the image to watch.

They can't penalize you for not having insurance other than to keep your tax refund if you get one. So structure it so that you don't get anything back, if possible, and you win.
I can buy 0b00basurance the day I get sick. I'm sure my doctor's receptionista or the ER gal will be happy to help with the form.

Did a U.S. commander in Iraq ask for combat troops beyond the August deadline?
- By Marc Lynch
Marc Lynch is associate professor of political science and international affairs at George Washington University, where he is the director of the Institute for Middle East Studies and of the Project on Middle East Political Science. He is also a non-resident senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security. He is the author of The Arab Uprising (March 2012, PublicAffairs).
He publishes frequently on the politics of the Middle East, with a particular focus on the Arab media and information technology, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, and Islamist movements.
My FP colleague Tom Ricks has been arguing for quite some time not only that the U.S. should keep significant numbers of combat forces in Iraq well beyond Obama's timeline, but that U.S. commanders have actually asked for this. Today, he posts what he takes as a vindication of his reporting:
Here's the story in which Maj. Gen. Tony Cucolo, the U.S. commander for northern Iraq, discusses the need to keep a combat brigade up there beyond President Obama's August deadline to get all combat troops out of Iraq. As reported here about two weeks ago, I might add.
Uh oh! So, let's click the link and see what it says. The headline does indeed say "U.S. commander might need troops beyond August." What about the actual article? Let me just quote:
General Cucolo says he is only talking about maybe 800 troops in 26 small units spread along the Arab-Kurd regional border, and they could be redesignated as advisory units, the U.S. network said.
And the general says even that may not be necessary. He says the Kurdish and Arab forces that nearly went to war last year, before the three-way security system was established, are now working together quite well. In the interview, he predicted they might be able to work without U.S. help by the time the American combat role is to end six months from now, but later he backed off from that a little bit.
Eight hundred troops in 26 small advisory units, which may not be necessary? OK. If the "unravelling of Iraq" which Ricks has been predicting for the last year is of the same magnitude as this possible extension of 800 troops in small advisory units which may not be necessary, then I think we could probably all live with it.

Oliver Twist gets the Brecht treatment in Neil Bartlett's new adaptation at American Repertory Theatre (at the Loeb Drama Center through March 24). Bartlett, who first directed the show in London, presents it as a literary narrative, with sections of Dickens's novel read aloud by Carson Elrod to bridge the dramatic scenes. And some of the visual elements — the footlights, Rae Smith's [please see correction below] clever box set — hark back to the conventions of 19th-century melodrama and music hall. But Bartlett's point isn't really to evoke the period in which the book was written. The down-front lighting (by Scott Zielinski) [please see correction below] drains the actors' faces, so that when they huddle together at the play's opening they look like a band of ghosts. This effect works together with the narrator, the portions of text sung a cappella by the ensemble, and the heavily stylized acting to put quotation marks around the material.
Bartlett's approach certainly worked on the opening-night audience, which cheered and gave the show a standing ovation. But I have to confess I don't get the point of applying all these distancing devices to Oliver Twist, unless you find Dickensian sentimentality bourgeois and offensive, as Brecht certainly would have. And Bartlett obviously doesn't. He wants to underscore Dickens's message about cruelty to children — which is so obvious in the novel that to point it up seems a prime example of gilding the lily. Moreover, he likes the sentimentality. He interrupts the flow of the story with all these Brechtian techniques, but then he directs Elrod to read the literary sections straight, with extra emphasis on the pathos. It's as if, at the end of Die Dreigroschenoper, after the company steps forward to sing the moral about poverty and corruption, Brecht and Weill had added a tender description of a child starving to death on the open road and made the audience cry.
Oliver Twist is great dramatic material, as the last three movie versions (1948, 1968, and 2005) prove. But Bartlett manages, against all odds, to make it rather dull. Drawing on his Théâtre de Complicité training (he was one of its early members), he comes up with some bits of pared-down, openly theatrical staging, like having Elrod catch the exhausted Oliver (Michael Wartella) as he trudges toward London after escaping from his indentured enslavement at Mr. Sowerberry's funeral parlor. But then he repeats them — and repeats them. (We have to watch Oliver stagger and nearly fall seven times, once for every day of his journey.) And the deliberately flat, frontal staging undercuts even his best ideas. It feels like hours before he's done with the sequence where Fagin (Ned Eisenberg) and his boys teach Oliver how to slip a hanky out of a gentleman's back pocket. And the set-up to get Nancy (Jennifer Ikeda) to London Bridge — where she meets secretly with Rose Brownlow (Elizabeth Jasicki), the daughter of Oliver's rich benefactor, to convey the whereabouts of the kidnapped boy — is about as interesting to look at as a high-school football coach's game plan.

Read an Excerpt
'Who ever loved that loved not at first sight?' The kingdom of Kabuyadir
The sound of crying came to Zahir on the wind. At first he thought he'd imagined it. But when he stepped out onto the balcony overlooking the mosaic-tiled courtyard he heard it again. The sound distracted him from the decision he'd already made to leave the party he was in no mood to attend and go home. He'd gone upstairs to his friend Amir's salon, to steal a few moments to himself away from the mundane chitchat he found it hard to respond to, and very soon he would seek out his host and make his apologies for quitting the party early. In light of what was going on at home, Amir would understand completely.
But now he found himself stepping out into the courtyard, easily bypassing the interested glances that sought to detain him by adopting a detached air that he knew not even the most courageous would disregard. Instead he embraced the kiss of the warm spiced air that stirred his senses as it never failed to do and glanced round himfor what? He hardly knew. Was it a child he'd heard? Or perhaps some small wounded animal? Or was the gentle sobbing simply an imaginary product of a tired mind and heavy heart?
The sound of splashing water pouring in a crystalline flow from the mouth of a mermaid into the magnificent shell-like fountainan impressive centrepiece in the marble-paved courtyarddulled his hearing for a moment. The only other noise carried on the soft night air was the steady high-pitched drone of cicadas.
Out of the corner of his eye Zahir spied a flash of pink. Narrowing his gaze, he stared hard into a dimmed corner, where there was a stone seat almost shrouded by the shiny dark leaves of a voluptuous jasmine plant. A pair of exceedingly pretty bare feet poked out. Intrigued, he moved forward.
'Who is there?'
He kept his voice low and unthreatening. Nevertheless it carried its usual air of authority. A sniffle, a soft intake of breath, and a long slim arm reached out to brush away some of the protective foliage that more or less kept the stone seat totally secluded. Zahir sucked in a breath.
'It's me Gina Collins.'
The sweet-voiced announcement was followed by the sight of the most bewitching blue eyes he had ever seen. They all but equalled the light of the moon with their luminous crystal intensity.
'Gina Collins?' The name hardly computed in Zahir's brain. But the appearance of the fair-haired beauty that emerged from her hiding place to stand before him in an ankle-length pink dress with her feet tantalisingly bare could not fail to deeply stir him.
She was a vision of loveliness that no man would soon forget. No wonder she hid out here, away from view! Was there a red-blooded male living who wouldn't be tempted by such a vision?
Sniffing again, she stoically wiped away the damp smudges beneath her eyes with the back of her hand.
'I am none the wiser about who you are,' Zahir commented wryly, raising a brow.
'I'mI'm sorry. I'm Professor Moyle's assistant. We came here to catalogue and study Mrs Hussein's books on antiques and ancient artefacts.'
Zahir vaguely remembered the wife of his friend AmirClothilde, who was a senior lecturer in art at the universitytelling him about her intention to get some help with her library of rare and valuable books. But since his mother had died they had not met, and frankly there had been far more demanding things occupying his time.
'Is the work so distressing that it compels you to hide out here to conceal your dismay?' he mocked gently.
The enormous blue eyes widened. 'Not at all. The work is a joy!'
'Then I desire to know the reason for your tears.' 'I justI just .'
Zahir found he did not mind waiting for an answer. Where was the need for impatience when his gaze was happy to linger in examination of exquisite features that suggested they had been created by a divine artist who clearly adored her? In particular her lush-lipped quivering mouth.
She sighed softly, and her reply had a tremulous break in it. 'I heard the news today that my mother has been taken ill and is now in the hospital. My employers have very kindly booked me on an early flight in the morning, so tomorrow I'll be travelling back home to the UK.'
A sympathetic wave of compassion and understanding rippled through Zahir. He knew only too well what it was like to have a beloved mother become ill, to watch her health deteriorate day by day and feel utterly helpless to do anything about it. But he was genuinely shocked at how disturbed he was at the notion that this beautiful girl was going home when he'd only just met her.
'I am so sorry to hear your sad news But I must also confess my regret that you are going home before we have had the chance to become properly acquainted.'
A frown marred her clear brow. 'Even though my mother is ill, I wish I wasn't leaving. Do you think that's very bad of me? I would much rather stay here, if you want to know. I never realised what a painful wrench it would be for me to go, but there's a kind of magic here that's left me spellbound.'
Her response was so surprising that for a moment Zahir hardly knew what to think or say. 'So you like this part of the world? Then you must come back soon, Gina very soon. Perhaps when your mother is fully recovered?' He folded his arms across his chest and his smile was benevolent and kind.
'I would love that to come back again, I mean. I can't explain it, but this place has begun to feel more like home to me than my own country. I love it so.'
Her face glowed suddenly, as though lit from within, and suddenly he was not in such a hurry to leave Amir's gathering after all.
'But you must think me very rude for sitting out here on my own when everyone else is inside. Mr Hussein's nephew's graduation is meant to be a happy occasion, and I didn't want to bring things down by being sad. Suddenly I just couldn't seem to contain how I felt. It's difficult to talk to people and be sociable when you're upset.'
'There is not one soul here who would not understand and sympathise with your predicament, Gina. But it is good that you attended the party. It is the custom here to invite as many friends and acquaintances as possible to share in a family's joy when they have something to celebrate.'
'That's what I love about the people here. Family is really important to them.'
'And that is not so where you are from?'
She shrugged and glanced away. 'For some, maybe but not for everyone.'
'Now I have made you sad again.'
'No.. you haven't. I mean I'm sad that my mother is ill, but to tell you the honest truth our relationship is not the loving, affectionate one I could have wished for. My parents are devoted academics they deal in facts, not feelings. To them, feelings just get in the way. Anyway, I've bored you with my troubles for long enough. It was very nice meeting you.but I think I should go back inside now.'
'There is no hurry. Perhaps you would consider staying out here for a while with me? Whatever is taking place in our lives, it is a beautiful night, no?'
Zahir's hand reached out lightly to detain her, and the vivid blue eyes grew round as twin full moons. But, aside from being mesmerised by her startled glance, the feel of Gina Collins's flawless satin-textured skin made him feel almost dizzy with want. He hadn't expected that. It was as though a hot desert wind had swarmed into his bloodstream. He could hardly take his eyes off her.
'All right, maybe I'll stay for just another moment or two. You're rightit is a beautiful night.' Folding her arms, she stepped back a little, as though suddenly aware that the distance that separated them was minuscule. 'Are you related to Mr Hussein's family?' she asked quietly, and Zahir saw the flare of curiosity in her limpid blue eyes that she couldn't quite quell.
'I am not related by blood, but Amir and I have been friends for a long time. I have always thought of him as my brother. My name is Zahir,' he volunteered with a respectful bow.
From beneath his luxuriant dark lashes he saw that she blushed. Was it because he had bowed, or because he had only delivered his first name? It might be the way they would have done things in the West if they had met informally at a party, but it was definitely not the way men of his rank conducted themselves here in Kabuyadirespecially not when they were destined to inherit the rule of the kingdom after their father!
She echoed his name softlyas though it were something wondrous. The sensuous sound caused a cascade of delicious shivers to erupt down Zahir's spine.
'Even the names here have a ring of mystery and magic,' she added shyly.
'Come,' he invited, his blood heating even more at the idea of having her to himself for a while. 'Let us walk together in the grounds. It would be a shame to waste such a glorious full moon on an empty garden with no one there to witness it, don't you think?'
'Won't you be missed if you don't go back inside soon?'
'If my hosts are troubled by my unexplained absence they will be too polite to say so. Besides, I do not have to give an account of my actions to anyone save Allah.'
The woman in front of him fell silent at that. Zahir glanced down at her small slender feet, with toenails painted the same captivating shade as her dress, and a frisson of disturbing awareness rippled through him.
'You will need your shoes if we are to walk together.'
'They're over by the bench.'
Moving back towards the stone seat, with its shield of glossy green leaves and intoxicating white-flowered jasmine, Gina collected her flat tan sandals and slipped them on. When she glanced up again at Zahir, a tendril of golden hair fell forward onto her brow. She brushed it away and smiled. A woman's smile had never had the effect of rendering him speechless before, but it did now. Clearing his throat, he didn't even think twice about extending his hand to take hers. When she wordlessly and trustingly placed her palm inside his Zahir lost all track of space and time, and the grief and turmoil he had been so racked with since his mother had died melted into the ether.
Studying the strong-boned face, with fathomless dark brown eyes and long glossily black hair that was parallel with his shoulderblades, Gina knew she was captivated. With his full-length dark robethe jalabiya, as it was calledand his lean waist encircled by a light brown wide leather belt, he might have been an imposing inhabitant of a bygone court of a wealthy Caliph a highly trained soldier or a bodyguard, perhaps? He was built as if he could take care of himself and many others besides.
It might be an entirely dangerous action, putting her trust in a man she had only just met, but since such an overwhelming compulsion had never seized her before Gina could only believe it was meant to be. Kismet as they often called it in this part of the world. Right then she needed the reassurance of a strong, understanding figure. Something told her that Zahir was a man who did understand feelings.the thought was quite intoxicating.

Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS), parent body of transport unions, has decided to suspend its proposed agitation in support of the nationwide bandh on February 21 out of concern for the 13 lakh students who will be appearing for HSC exams across the state.
Central Trade Unions, Organisations, Federations (CTUOF) had earlier declared a Bharat band to protest against various issues such as increasing inflation, unemployment, contract system on February 20 and 21.
HMS president Sharad Rao also announced that he will also be suspending the next two proposed agitations of the auto rickshaw union till the time all exams get over.
"If the public transport facility is not available, students will not able to reach the examination centres on time and this could result in the loss of an academic year to them. Therefore we have decided to suspend our agitations on February 21," said Rao.
Rao clarified that HMS was unaware of the HSC examination schedule, when it had planned the bandh. However, he clarified that auto and taxi drivers will be participating in the bandh on February 20 and that trains would also be stopped on that day. HMS appealed to all its members working in state transport and other industries to refrain from participating in the bandh on February 21. Rao also added that there has been no any change in the two days bandh and it would take place as planned out of Mumbai and Maharashtra.
However, other auto rickshaw and taxi unions including Mumbai Taximens Union have already announced that they won't take part in the Bharat bandh.

text: I am a new owner of a "New to me" 2006 Avalanche and am thinking of replacing the headlight setup on the vehicle. Seems like inside of lens is bad discolored and buffing the outside don't help much. My question is this, when I look on Ebay or Amazon or other places, I find some that I like and it then says in the information on them that they are for non-cladding models I had to read and find out what the cladding was to be for sure. Mine does have all the plastic down the side of the truck and the complete cover for the bed. So I am to assume that the model of headlight assemblies that state "for non cladding models " will not work with my truck, right ? Anyone had any experience with this replacing the complete assembly ?? Thanks in advance for all info maachuu
