Lamborghini Police Car Rolls Out in Dubai
Officers in the emirate of Dubai recently began patrolling in a Lamborghini Aventador police car. The Italian supercar, which has a 700-horsepower, 12-cylinder engine tucked behind the driver and passenger, can reach speeds up to 217 mph if conditions are ideal.
The Lamborghini costs about $550,000 and is meant in part to bolster Dubai's high-hend reputation. A Lamborghini spokesman said the Aventador police car is not part of a well-planned promotional move. That means the company didn't pay to have the vehicle "placed" in the police fleet as a way to attract attention.
This is not the first Lamborghini to do police work. Almost 10 years ago the company delivered a 10-cylinder Gallardo sports car to a police department in Italy and later did the same thing in England. Later another Gallardo cop car showed up in England. Other hot cars have become police cars over the past two or three decades.

Armadale HTML version
While the travelers were on their way back, a somewhat longer telegraphic
message than Allan's was flashing its way past them along the wires, in the
reverse direction--from Thorpe Ambrose to London. The message was in cipher,
and, the signs being interpreted, it ran thus: "From Lydia Gwilt to Maria
Oldershaw.--Good news! He is coming back. I mean to have an interview with
him. Everything looks well. Now I have left the cottage, I have no women's
prying eyes to dread, and I can come and go as I please. Mr. Midwinter is luckily
out of the way. I don't despair of becoming Mrs. Armadale yet. Whatever
happens, depend on my keeping away from London until I am certain of not
taking any spies after me to your place. I am in no hurry to leave Thorpe
Ambrose. I mean to be even with Miss Milroy first."
Shortly after that message was received in London, Allan was back again in his
own house.
It was evening--Pedgift Junior had just left him--and Pedgift Senior was expected
to call on business in half an hour's time.

Rich Vosler's message touched me deeply - I felt that he was speaking directly to me - and am inspired to follow his direction. Thank you Rich, for writing and sharing what I most needed to bring into my life. You are a blessing to all with whom you come in contact. Bless you and your family.
Wow, what a retreat. Your message is an inspiration to all of us. Many Catholics think they need to give up chocolate, etc. for Lent, when all we need to do is pray more. God Bless you!
Nice Rich! Your words always give us so much to think about! Now I find myself asking the same questions you asked yourself on the retreat. I usually think about how I want to spend the 40 days of Lent when I should be contemplating how GOD wants me to spend it. Thanks!
I agree wholeheartedly that when you give your kids the love and patience rather than "fretting and fuming". I often have to tell myself this is a time of joy and to stop rushing around in life. Enjoy those small conversations with my children rather than tuning into what I need to do, how much I have to do, etc. Jesus Loves all the little children for a reason! God bless you Rich! As always you are an inspiration to all! Love you!!!
As old as I am Richie, I learned so much from this blog. You are just such a wonderful Christian. God bless you in all you do - and now, I will be doing some of those things too. Your prayer person, Maureen

The Remedy Action Request System (ARS) is the primary application engine that supports the IT Service Management (ITSM) suite of applications. The ARS and ITSM application is a mission critical platform that is utilized by C&C to support the IT infrastructure for the university. The core applications that are currently being used by ITS support staff are, Incident Management and Change Management, both of which are integrated with CMDB. The CMDB module is also a core component of the ITSM suite. Although the CMDB module is not currently being utilized within the ITS IT Service Management processes, it is installed automatically with the ITSM platform as a required component.
The Remedy ARS and ITSM application have been running in ITS for over 10 years and have gone through a number of upgrades in the past years; one major upgrade was implemented in 2009. This upgrade took the Remedy system from version 5.5 to 7.1. Since 2009 the Remedy system has been maintained regularly with the installation of service patches, which included patches for both at the ARS and ITSM applications.
The current Remedy environment in ITS is at version 7.1.00 patch 11, patch 11 is the last service patch for this version. BMC have stopped supporting this version as of Nov 30th, 2012 and is highly recommending that C&C upgrade the Remedy environment to the latest version of ARS and ITSM, which is currently at version 8.1.
Start Date: January 2013
End Date: December 2015

Read the FDA Permits Marketing of Urinary Device for Women article »
Risk of Urinary Retention
SANCTURA® should be administered with caution to patients with clinically significant bladder outflow obstruction because of the risk of urinary retention [see CONTRAINDICATIONS].
Angioedema of the face, lips, tongue, and/or larynx has been reported with trospium chloride, the active ingredient in SANCTURA®. In one case, angioedema occurred after the first dose of trospium chloride. Angioedema associated with upper airway swelling may be life threatening. If involvement of the tongue, hypopharynx, or larynx occurs, SANCTURA® should be promptly discontinued and appropriate therapy and/or measures necessary to ensure a patent airway should be promptly provided.
Decreased Gastrointestinal Motility
SANCTURA® should be administered with caution to patients with gastrointestinal obstructive disorders because of the risk of gastric retention [see CONTRAINDICATIONS]. SANCTURA®, like other antimuscarinic agents, may decrease gastrointestinal motility and should be used with caution in patients with conditions such as ulcerative colitis, intestinal atony and myasthenia gravis.
Controlled Narrow-angle Glaucoma
In patients being treated for narrow-angle glaucoma, SANCTURA® should only be used if the potential benefits outweigh the risks and in that circumstance only with careful monitoring [see CONTRAINDICATIONS].
Central Nervous System Effects
SANCTURA® is associated with anticholinergic central nervous system (CNS) effects [see ADVERSE REACTIONS]. A variety of CNS anticholinergic effects have been reported, including dizziness, confusion, hallucinations and somnolence. Patients should be monitored for signs of anticholinergic CNS effects, particularly after beginning treatment or increasing the dose. Advise patients not to drive or operate heavy machinery until they know how SANCTURA® affects them. If a patient experiences anticholinergic CNS effects, dose reduction or drug discontinuation should be considered.
Anticholinergic Adverse Reactions in Patients with Moderate Renal Impairment
Trospium is substantially excreted by the kidney. The effects of moderate renal impairment on systemic exposure are not known but systemic exposure is likely increased. Therefore, anticholinergic adverse reactions (including dry mouth, constipation, dyspepsia, urinary tract infection, and urinary retention) are expected to be greater in patients with moderate renal impairment [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, and Use in Specific Populations].
Patient Counseling Information
"See FDA-approved Patient Labeling (PATIENT INFORMATION)"
Patients should be informed that trospium chloride, the active ingredient in SANCTURA®, may produce angioedema which could result in life-threatening airway obstruction. Patients should be advised to promptly discontinue SANCTURA® and seek immediate medical attention if they experience edema of the tongue, edema of the laryngopharynx, or difficulty breathing.
When Not to Use
Prior to treatment, patients should fully understand the risks and benefits of SANCTURA®. In particular, patients should be informed not to take SANCTURA® tablets if they:
- have urinary retention;
- gastric retention;
- uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma;
- are allergic to any component of SANCTURA®.
Patients should be instructed regarding the recommended dosing and administration of SANCTURA®:
- Take one SANCTURA® tablet twice daily with water.
- Take SANCTURA® on an empty stomach or at least 1 hour before a meal.
Adverse Reactions
Patients should be informed that the most common side effects with SANCTURA® are dry mouth and constipation and that other less common side effects include trouble emptying the bladder, blurred vision, and heat prostration. Because anticholinergics, such as SANCTURA®, may produce dizziness or blurred vision, patients should be advised to exercise caution in decisions to engage in potentially dangerous activities until the drug's effects have been determined. Patients should be informed that alcohol may enhance the drowsiness caused by anticholinergic agents.
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
Carcinogenicity studies with trospium chloride were conducted in mice and rats for 78 weeks and 104 weeks, respectively, at maximally tolerated doses. No evidence of a carcinogenic effect was found in either mice or rats administered up to 200 mg/kg/day, approximately 9 times the expected clinical exposure levels at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 40 mg.
Trospium chloride was not mutagenic nor genotoxic in tests in vitro in bacteria (Ames test) and mammalian cells (L5178Y mouse lymphoma and CHO cells) or in vivo in the rat micronucleus test.
Impairment of Fertility
No evidence of impaired fertility was observed in rats administered doses up to 200 mg/kg/day (about 16 times the expected clinical exposure at the MRHD, based on AUC).
Use In Specific Populations
Teratogenic Effects
Pregnancy Category C: There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of SANCTURA® in pregnant women. SANCTURA® should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit to the patient outweighs the risk to the patient and fetus. Women who become pregnant during SANCTURA® treatment are encouraged to contact their physician.
Risk Summary
Based on animal data, trospium chloride is predicted to have a low probability of increased risk of adverse developmental outcomes, above background risk. Adverse developmental findings were not observed to correlate with dose in rats or in rabbits. No increased risk above background was observed in rats and rabbits treated at an exposure approximately equivalent to the maximal recommended human dose (MRHD) of 40 mg.
Animal Data
In a rat embryo/fetal development study, pregnant rats received doses of trospium chloride up to 200 mg/kg/day, from implantation to closure of the fetal hard palate, with maternal systemic exposures corresponding to approximately nine times the exposure of women treated at the MRHD of 40 mg, based on AUC. No malformations or fetal toxicity were observed.
The offspring of female rats exposed orally, pre-and post-natally, to trospium chloride up to 200 mg/kg/day showed no increased developmental toxicity over background in surviving pups. However, maternal toxicity (death, irregular breathing, increased excitability) was observed at 200 mg/kg/day. A no-effect level for maternal and pup toxicity (survival to Day 4) was 20 mg/kg/day, an exposure approximately equivalent to the maximal recommended human dose (MRHD) of 40 mg.
In a rabbit embryo/fetal development study, pregnant rabbits received doses of trospium chloride up to 200 mg/kg/day, from implantation to closure of the fetal hard palate. At 200 mg/kg/day, maternal systemic exposures corresponded to approximately 16 times the exposure of women treated at the MRHD of 40 mg, based on AUC. However, one fetus in each of the three treated dose groups (0.3 to 16 times exposures at the MRHD) demonstrated multiple malformations, including umbilical hernia and skeletal malformations. A maternal no-effect level was set at 20 mg/kg/day, at an exposure approximately equivalent to the maximal recommended human dose (MRHD) of 40 mg, due to clinical signs (reduced feces, hunched posture, diarrhea) observed in a pharmacokinetic study at 200 mg/kg/day.
Labor and Delivery
The effect of SANCTURA® tablets on labor and delivery is unknown.
Nursing Mothers
Trospium chloride (2 mg/kg orally and 50 mcg/kg intravenously) was excreted, to a limited extent (less than 1%), into the milk of lactating rats (primarily as parent compound). It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, SANCTURA® should be used during lactation only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the newborn.
Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of SANCTURA® in pediatric patients have not been established.
Geriatric Use
Of the 591 patients with overactive bladder who received treatment with SANCTURA® in the two U.S., placebo-controlled, efficacy and safety studies, 249 patients (42%) were 65 years of age and older. Eighty-eight SANCTURA® treated patients (15%) were greater than or equal to 75 years of age.
In these 2 studies, the incidence of commonly reported anticholinergic adverse reactions in patients treated with SANCTURA® (including dry mouth, constipation, dyspepsia, urinary tract infection, and urinary retention) was higher in patients 75 years of age and older as compared to younger patients. This effect may be related to an enhanced sensitivity to anticholinergic agents in this patient population [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. Therefore, based upon tolerability, the dose frequency of SANCTURA® may be reduced to 20 mg once daily in patients 75 years of age and older.
Renal Impairment
Severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/minute) significantly altered the disposition of SANCTURA®. A 4.2-fold and 1.8-fold increase in mean AUC(0-∞) and Cmax, respectively, and the appearance of an additional elimination phase with a long half-life (~33 hr) were detected in patients with severe renal impairment compared with nearly age-matched subjects with creatinine clearance equal to or higher than 80 mL/min. The different pharmacokinetic behavior of SANCTURA® in patients with severe renal impairment necessitates adjustment of dosage frequency [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION]. The pharmacokinetics of trospium have not been studied in patients with creatinine clearance ranging from 30-80 mL/min.
Trospium is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of adverse reactions may be greater in patients with impaired renal function.
Hepatic Impairment
There is no information regarding the effect of severe hepatic impairment on exposure to SANCTURA®. In a study of patients with mild and with moderate hepatic impairment, given 40 mg of immediate-release trospium chloride, mean Cmax increased 12% and 63%, respectively, and mean AUC(0-∞) decreased 5% and 15%, respectively, compared to healthy subjects. The clinical significance of these findings is unknown. Caution should be used when administering SANCTURA® to patients with moderate and severe hepatic impairment.This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

I bought a 2000 Ford Explorer and was told that it had a complete tune up and not any problems at all.I was also told that it was owned by an older white couple....but I'm sorry when I checked the radio stations it was rap music which further indicates that somebody of African American descent on this vehicle not an older white couple. I go to pick up my daughter today to go to church,handel's work to let you out from the inside. The back seat belt it does not work, the interior light does not work in the back, I went 3 days ago to let him know that the lights in my dash wouldnt work, and low and behold when I look at this car engine that supposedly had a complete tune up the air filter was filthy.his response to this was I guess my guy missed it....I'm no rocket scientist but the air filter is the first thing you check in a tune up... All of this is shady. I would not recommending buying a vehicle from this snake oil salesman who goes under the name elvis because he knows if he gives you his real name he's in trouble his real name is Howard Rector. The young lady in the office is definitely on drugs and so is the black guy with gold teeth. They broke my car adapter and lied about it. And the list goes on and on and on God forbid what I find out tomorrow.

Firms will spend $6 billion on Facebook (FB) ads in 2014. Social media is crucial, says Jim Tobin, author of "Earn It. Don't Buy It: The CMO's Guide to Social Media Marketing in a Post Facebook World," but he sees better ways to make money while using the social forum. Tips on monetizing marketing:
• Provide valuable information. Useful content spreads through social media because people want to talk about it, Tobin says. So make marketing material compelling.
Jay Baer, author of "Youtility," puts it like this: "The best way to break through in that incredibly cluttered (Internet) environment is not to shout louder but rather to create marketing that is truly and inherently useful. That's why today's smart marketing is about help, not hype. ... It's marketing that customers want to receive."
Tobin's research shows that earned mentions — free blogs and videos — drive visitors to a website at three times the rate of paid social media ads. "We should think about content and promotions that people want to share first, and only use paid ones to supplement the reach of our best efforts," Tobin told IBD.
• Turn it up. Shoppers crave data. Baer cites Google's (GOOG) finding that Americans needed 5.3 sources of information before making a purchase in 2010 and 10.4 by 2011. "Because they have always-on Internet access via smartphones and tablets," he said, "customers are hyper-researching purchases, and your company must fully provide information in a self-serve capacity."
• Blog. It boosts your Internet traffic. Baer found that companies that write on the Web at least 15 times a month draw top reaction.
• Use multiple channels. Don't limit social media marketing to one site, says Tobin. While Facebook is the social king, smaller sites such as Instagram and Snapchat have more passionate communities.
Rich Rodman, CEO of compliance software provider Crowdentials , notes that he's received a great return using Twitter (TWTR) and LinkedIn (LNKD). "LinkedIn is actually one of the fastest-growing social networks on the Internet," he said, "with two new people joining every second." Rodman also is on board with LinkedIn groups, which share company news, media mentions, events and "other items to build brand awareness within your target audience."
• Use success metrics. Technology can help you determine if your social media marketing is effective.
"In social media, we look at the total brand mentions in a category, people talking about each brand on Twitter, in forums, in blogs, on public Facebook messages," Tobin said. "If there were 10,000 mentions of three companies in this example, how many mentions were for your company? If 3,400 were, then their online share of voice would be 34%."
• Get visual. People are drawn to images and videos that are shareable and convey a strong message. Infographics are especially effective, contends Rodman. Choose carefully, he cautions: "If a picture speaks louder than words, you don't want to relay the wrong message."
• Host webinars. Promote them through social media.
"Not only is a webinar a good way to educate people, but it frequently serves as a sales call among many customers," Rodman said.
• Take the long view. "Giving away useful information and resources to customers without necessarily expecting something instantly in return requires companies to trust that consumers will reward the brand eventually with attention, sales and loyalty," said Baer. "The difference between helping and selling is just two letters. But in modern marketing, those two letters make all the difference."

Virginia ABC Stores To Open On Sundays This Summer
BRISTOL, Va. - Grabbing a bottle of wine or liquor could get easier on weekends; this summer big changes are coming to liquor stores in Southwest Virginia. But News 5 found out not everyone's okay with that.
Since turning 21 Nick Cross has been able to drink liquor on Sundays, but he's never been able to buy it.
Next month that's all about to change. Starting July 1, all ABC stores in the state of Virginia can be open on Sundays from 1 to 6 p.m. A third wave of Sunday liquor legislation passed the Virginia General Assembly this year, adding the five extra hours of ABC operation at their stores across the state.
For the first time it includes stores in southwest Virginia. Fourth District Virginia House delegate Joe Johnson explained to us that even with the law passed, it is still plenty controversial. "[To] sum it up, southwest Virginia is known as [the] Bible Belt," Johnson said.
In fact, it didn't take long for us to find people in our community who feel Sundays aren't meant to stock up on liquor. "Sundays are the Sabbath day. You're supposed to rest. If people feel strongly enough to buy the alcohol, I think they could probably do it another day of the week," said Cyndi Stein who believes ABC stores should stay closed on Sunday.
One of the main reasons Johnson believes there's such a push for sales on Sunday is because it's a big business. ABC officials told News 5 their stores made $121 million of profit that went straight to the state's general fund last year.
But even ignoring economic impact, many like Cross feel it's a matter of convenience and just makes sense. "If people want to drink, and they can control it, then I think it's okay. It [doesn't] matter what day they drink," Cross said.
We asked ABC officials about local ordinances that ban the sale of alcohol on Sundays. They told us they honor all of those, but no stores have been impacted by existing local laws.
We also checked with Bristol, Virginia city officials and learned as of Friday, there has been no discussion of changing the law to stop liquor sales on Sunday.

The report said that Smith has filed legal documents in Georgia asking the judge to dismiss her case against Jordan. However, she did so "without prejudice," which means that she can refile the lawsuit at a later time if she wants to.
Why did Smith derail her paternity lawsuit, but "without prejudice"? That's a good question, as when she filed it originally she asked the court to order Jordan to provide a DNA test.
Although the reasons are not known, the timeline is. Smith filed the suit on Feb. 6. Court documents show that a hearing was scheduled for March 12. On March 15, court records list that the case was dismissed "without prejudice by party."
It is, of course, possible that Jordan and Smith reached an out-of-court settlement, or instead halted legal action until a settlement can be worked out. The actual reason, however, is unknown.
Pamela Smith had filed a paternity suit in Fulton County, Ga. in an attempt to establish the NBA Hall of Fame member as the father of her son, Grant Pierce Jay Jordan Reynolds, also known as Taj. Taj was born in June of 1996, and for those wondering, at the time Jordan was married to Juanita Vanoy. Jordan and Vanoy wed in September of 1989; they divorced in December of 2006.
In semi-related news, in early March, Jordan and longtime girlfriend Yvette Prieto got a marriage license.

Mystery & Birds: 5 Ways to Practice Poetry
Joshua Marie Wilkinson is putting together a group of micro-essay for teaching poetry to beginning writers. Though I'm not really a teacher, he asked me nonetheless. And since I have so many dear dear friends beginning their semesters this week, this goes out to them. Thanks JMW for inviting me to participate.
Mystery & Birds: 5 Ways to Practice Poetry
Because I work outside of the academic field, I don't get the
opportunity to teach very often, but when I do, I'm surprised by how
many people read poems as if they can have only one meaning. In my own
experience, I find it nearly impossible to hear the beauty and
meditative joy of a poem's lines, or the sensual sounds of a syllable,
when I'm reading solely for narrative sense. So, I've come to think
that one of the first things to learn about poetry is to simply relax
in its mystery. We need to learn that a poem can have many meanings
and that it can be enjoyed without a complete understanding of the
poet's intent. On a good day a poem might bring you great joy, on a
tough day, the same poem might reveal great agony, but the poem hasn't
changed—it's what you have brought to the poem that has changed. The
more you read a poem, the more time you spend with it, read it out
loud to yourself or to others, the more it will open to you—start to
wink and flirt and let you in. A poem is a complex living thing, its
multiple edges and many colors are what makes this singular art form
so difficult to define. There is an ancient Chinese Proverb that says,
"A bird sings not because he has an answer, but because he has a
song." That is how I have come to think about poetry—that a poem isn't
a problem to solve, but rather it's a singular animal call that
contains multiple layers of both mystery and joy.
It's that unique animal call that we have to carve out time for if we
really want to do the work that poetry requires. Though I admit I
struggle everyday to find the right balance between my writing
practice and the daily pressures of living, there are a few things
that help me remain true to the work of poetry. Although these may not
work for every writer, the following five points are what have kept me
writing poetry with greater ease and discipline on a daily basis.
1) Write everyday. It's easier than it sounds. Make time everyday to
write SOMETHING. Even if it's one line scribbled into a napkin on the
subway or the bus, or a whole precious early hour in the morning. This
practice lets the mind know that everyday we must be observant, that we
are paying attention, always.
2) Learn poems you love. Read whatever poems you can get your hands
on. Not just the classics, but those poets who are writing today. Pick
up journals, magazines, and anthologies; search for the poems that
break you open. Read those poems over and over again until you have
them memorized in your mouth. Don't worry about mimicking them, just
accept them as your teachers and hold them close. Become an expert on
the poems you adore.
3) Cultivate silence. Silence is essential in order to hear your own
voice. Especially nowadays when we often have the television on, the
radio on, or music playing all day long, it is essential to find some
silence to listen to your own voice. Your own voice is the only thing
your poetry needs.
4) Embrace revision. Revision might be the hardest thing that writers
have to do, aside from battling our own internal demons, because it
means admitting that we are wrong. Sometimes we are so wrong that we
need to start all over again, and it's embarrassing. Sometimes we only
need to change a comma, but listen, every poem needs revision and
every poet needs to learn humility.
5) Practice gratitude. Cherish those friends and colleagues who care
enough to read and comment on your work. If you truly pursue writing,
you will come to realize how enormously important these people are to
your writing life and therefore to your making of a "real" life. Make
sure you read their work with the same care and closeness they offer
you. And buy them coffee and cakes when they return a manuscript with
pencil marks on every page. It is a true act of kindness that should
be greeted with great gratitude. And be thankful that you want to
write at all, what a powerful art to devote a life to, how lucky we
are to love such a wild untamable thing.

You should do as I say not do as I do.
Just how American it was and how late Forties it was
Delmore, but not I, was probably aware. He quoted Finnegans Wake to me
In his New York apartment sitting on chair
Table directly in front of him. There did he write? I am wondering.
Look at this photograph said of his mother and father.
Coney Island. Do they look happy? He couldn't figure it out.
Believed Pogo to be at the limits of our culture.
Pogo. Walt Kelly must have read Joyce Delmore said.
Why don't you ask him?
Why don't you ask Walt Kelly if he read Finnegans Wake or not.
Your parents don't look happy but it is just a photograph.
Maybe they felt awkward posing for photographs.
Maybe it is just a bad photograph. Delmore is not listening
I want to hear him tell me something sad but however true.
Delmore in his tomb is sitting. People say yes everyone is dying
But here read this happy book on the subject. Not Delmore. Not that rueful man.
We should not neglect Basil Bunting's Advice to Young Poets (another wag will surely supply Ezra Pound's), namely:
1. Compose aloud; poetry is a sound.
2. Vary rhythm enough to stir the emotion you want but not so as to lose impetus.
3. Use spoken words and syntax.
4. Fear adjective; they bleed nouns. Hate the passive.
5. Jettison ornament gaily but keep shape
Put your poem away till you forget it, then:
6. Cut out every word you dare.
7. Do it again a week later, and again.
Never explain – your reader is as smart as you.
That is all wonderful advice, especially practicing gratitude, beautiful. The most important skill for any writer as you have hinted, is listening, then your work can extend beyond your own voice.
Very kindly written and very useful. Thank you.
This is a wonderful post! You are so right about silence. Thank you.
As a relatively new poet, I too need such advice, and find this whole article and discussion very moving.
Perhaps because I was a bit older than most of your beginners, at my beginning I was actually too liberal with number 6, and ended up with poems without flab, yes, but also without frisson. Also without what I really meant to say, or at least about what I knew and would have liked to say had I found the path, bridge, gate, door, opening in the hedge or conduit under the road that led to it.
I'm still a beginner but now I've added another dare to Basil Bunting's do-list:
6a. A week, month, year after every word you cut add any other word you dare.

Cots Integration
An Active-Architecture Approach to COTS Integration
by Brian Warboys, Bob Snowdon, R. Mark Greenwood, Wykeen Seet, Ian Robertson, Ron Morrison, Graham Kirby, Dharini Balasubramaniam, and Katherine Mickan, pp. 20–27. COTS products' developers and source code are rarely available, and the products' ongoing development is unpredictable. The ArchWare framework approach addresses these problems by recognizing COTS products as part of an information system's ambient environment. An active-architecture model that changes as the system evolves captures the composition and integration of COTS components.
Coordinating COTS Applications via a Business Event Layer
by Wilfried Lemahieu, Monique Snoeck, Frank Goethals, Manu De Backer, Raf Haesen, Guido Dedene, and Jacques Vandenbulcke, pp. 28–35. The BECO approach to COTS integration uses existing, one-to-one communication technologies for event notification and exploits business events as higher-level, many-to-many units of coordination. Business processes can then be implemented as sequences of business events. This consistent, flexible integration approach can be layered on top of existing technologies.
Performance Techniques for COTS Systems
by Erik Putrycz, Murray Woodside, and Xiuping Wu, pp. 36–44. The increased adoption of COTS-based systems creates challenges for managing performance because the source code of the components involved isn't available. However, the availability of the components before the system is built provides early data on their performance properties. If you combine modeling based on this data with new tracing techniques, you can better predict performance, plan deployment, and diagnose problems.
Evaluating COTS Component Dependability in Context
by Paolo Donzelli, Marvin Zelkowitz, Victor Basili, Dan Allard, and Kenneth N. Meyer, pp. 46–53. Selecting the right component to integrate into an application is challenging and risky, particularly without empirical evidence that a component will be dependable in a particular context. This empirical COTS evaluation method reduces selection risks by focusing on a specific target context. It also supports integration by highlighting the component weaknesses that must be addressed to achieve success.
Value-Based Processes for COTS-Based Applications
by Ye Yang, Jesal Bhuta, Daniel N. Port, and Barry Boehm, pp. 54–62. Traditional software process models assume that software systems are developed largely by writing code from scratch, and thus fail to address many of the challenges associated with developing COTS-based applications. This often leads to selecting best-of-breed but incompatible COTS products, without considering the increased costs and reduced benefits incurred by trying to glue these together. A value-based set of processes can help steer such projects toward avoiding or minimizing such value losses.
Rapid Embedded System Testing Using Verification Patterns
by Wei-Tek Tsai, Feng Zhu, Lian Yu, and Ray Paul, pp. 68–75. A verification pattern approach for rapidly testing real-time embedded systems first classifies system scenarios into patterns. For each scenario pattern, the VP approach then develops a test script template for all the scenarios belonging to that pattern. In this way, instead of developing numerous scripts to test the system, test engineers can customize and reuse a set of script templates to test the entire application, saving significant effort and time.
Improving Software Development Management through Software Project Telemetry
by Philip M. Johnson, Hongbing Kou, Michael Paulding, Qin Zhang, Aaron Kagawa, and Takuya Yamashita, pp. 76–85. Software project telemetry, a new project management approach, is a style of software metrics definition, collection, and analysis that uses sensors to unobtrusively monitor development. Project Hackystat, which provides an open source reference framework for telemetry, observes behavior in client systems, gathers raw data, and abstracts the data into numerical telemetry values that support decision making.
Structural Shifts in the Chinese Software Industry
by Nir Kshetri, pp. 86–93. Although China has left India far behind in terms of most economic and technological indicators, China has failed to catch up in one area: the commercial software industry. While India's development has been one-dimensional and has focused on the skill base, the Chinese software industry in recent years has been undergoing major structural shifts with respect to markets, participants, technology, focus, and products.
IT Assets—Control by Importance and Exception: Supporting the "Paradigm of Change"
by Mordechai Ben-Menachem and Garry S. Marliss, pp. 94–102. Employing software CIE can help you manage software items as assets, providing significant management advantages. After an organization develops an enterprise software inventory as a necessary infrastructure step, software CIE can optimize IT asset value to allocate development and evolution priorities. This is one of a set of integrated technologies developed to address managing constantly changing processes and systems, an aspect of an evolving business paradigm called the paradigm of change.


text: Last updated on 8/1/2012 Print this page History of Hollywood Horror History of Hollywood Horror is intended to help students investigate the Horror Genre – as it has been interpreted by the Hollywood film industry – from an academically-based perspective, and introduce them to the historical, economic, political, social, cultural, and aesthetic traditions which have come to shape this long-lasting and important genre. It will introduce students to the key issues and debates in the study of the horror film. It will examine the forms which the horror film has taken within Hollywood, and will do so in terms of history, criticism, and appropriate academic theories. Focusing itself on the way "horror" as a genre has been understood and shaped within the Hollywood context, the module will enable students to evaluate critically, and then utilize, a range of theoretical concepts and methodologies in relation to the study of the horror film and horror as a genre as a textual, institutional, historical and cultural object. We will also examine the concepts behind such issues as Fear, Belief, and why some people might enjoy watching horror films. It also takes into account the issue of why horror – and its fans – are often disparaged by some critics, scholars, and segments of society. View further details of this module on the University catalogue.

Job fair enjoys good participation
In an effort to connect job seekers with employers, the office of Congressman Steve Pearce, R-N.M., co-sponsored the third annual "Out of This World" job fair Tuesday, at the Roswell Convention and Civic Center.
New Mexico Workforce Connection, Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell, Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, the Roswell Chamber of Commerce, Roswell-Chaves County Economic Development Corporation and the Roswell Hispano Chamber of Commerce also co-sponsored the event.
Pearce was unable to attend the fair, but said in a letter that jobs and job growth are his "number one priority" and that it was his intent to have a majority of job vacancies filled by the end of the day.
He also thanked all employers involved. "Through our partnerships, we can [auth] continue to combat the battle of unemployment here in southeastern New Mexico," he said.
Gloria Salas, a representative of Pearce's Roswell office, said the congressman has hosted and co-sponsored numerous job fairs throughout the state. The Roswell event featured more than 60 organizations in a variety of fields. Salas said job postings also are available online on the congressman's website, www.pearce.house.gov.
During the event, ENMU-R students also modeled professional looks made with consignment clothing.
"There are ways to dress appropriately without spending too much money," said Nellie Daniel, employment specialist for Workforce Connection.
The organization offers services to aid in a job hunt, such as help with resumes and interviewing. "We have so much to offer at our office," Daniel said.
Eric Espinoza, veterans caseworker for Pearce's Roswell office, said the event aimed to offer opportunities for all job seekers, as well as veterans.
The event featured several organizations related to veterans, such as the ESGR and its Hero 2 Hired program.
"A lot of these guys are returning unemployed. … ESGR makes sure they can come back to a job," Espinoza said. "They're a great addition."
ESGR Roswell Chairman Gary Smith said the free program, available online at www.H2H.jobs, targets guardsmen, reservists and veterans, but is open to anyone.
"It's another way for a person to look for a job," he said, noting that the site had more than 4,000 jobs posted for New Mexico, with at least 100 in Roswell.
While most jobs are from bigger companies, Smith encouraged local employers to advertise their openings because "people will look for a job online."
Diedra Duvall, director of marketing at Domino's Pizza, said the company prefers online applications, but noted that at the job fair, she had "done better this year than last year in applicants."
Chris Lucero and Mike Evartz served together overseas last year in the New Mexico National Guard. They came to the fair in search of jobs that favored veterans and they were not disappointed. Not only did they find the fair's offerings diverse, but also liked the chance for actual interaction.
"Nowadays, everything's online, nothing's personal," Lucero said. "This gives us the opportunity to face employers."

193 steps to Covent Garden
193 steps, but they're all going up. We arrived in the Underground station at Covent Garden in the middle of the day when queues for the elevators up were *sooo* long. Actually, I didn't know this at all. I had dawdled behind taking a few photos and recognised a few faces darting down a side tunnel so I followed them. As I ran after them I snapped the warning sign that read,
This stairway has 193 steps
Do not use
except in an
Filled with a resignation that it must be the only way I followed them up.
Oh my God. My knees were like jelly by the time I saw sunlight. I never want to do that again. Next time we wait patiently for the elevator.
PS. My brother and I and our future brother-in-law Mike left London yesterday, but Donal is still in the city, and last I heard, was tucking into some spicy food at a Chinese restaurant! Great weekend!

We have a sign similar to this at a local state park. Of course it only warns that if you have health problems you should not go that way. Maybe your sign just assumes everyone does have health problems.
February 2, 2009
No problems taking shots on the underground then so!
February 2, 2009
Mike – yes, obviously healthy people in the UK 🙂
Richard – I was running, but I didn't have any problems thankfully. Even in St Pancras Station I snapped away, big camera in hand and bag on my back.

I've never taken the stairs there. Always queued for the elevator.
But before the DLR opened, we headed out to Greenwich, and took the pedestrian tunnel under the Thames. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich_foot_tunnel There was, of course elevator service heading both directions when we were going to Greenwich, but after spending all day wandering around the observatory, the maritime museum, etc., we got back to the tunnel and discovered the elevator going up on the London side was closed for maintenance.
Ouch. Took two or three pints and a couple shots of Powers at the local to ease the ache in my legs enough that I could sleep.
March 8, 2009
That's a great sign.
We were in Paris not so long ago and we visited Montmartre, I'm not sure how many steps we had to climb but my I worked out some muscles that day. When we visited it later that evening we took the lift, it was the biggest lift I've ever been in, it was like a room.
October 18, 2009
made it to the top
October 27, 2009
oh my god carried my 4 year old daughter up these steps
nearly died at the top
for the first time ever i prayed going up for this to end,
god did not answer sorry to say
just aching legs and a bad back for a few days
take the lift and dont worry about the queue
February 7, 2011
Just googled this as programme on BBC1 in Britain and these unfit people got to climb over 500 steps. I did Covent Garden and I was knackered while my 12 year old nephew was fresh as a daisy.
July 23, 2011
Did the 193 steps this afternoon following a moment of gross stupidity.Sitting in bed now and my knees are glowing. Problem is this stuff takes forever to go away in my dotage. Leave this one for the youngsters in future….

I have upgraded the hard drives on both the S3s to 2T, and also replaced the power supply (bulging caps) with Weaknees replacements. All three units are working perfectly. I am wondering if it would be worth it to sell all three, and replace them with one Roamio (the base model, as I am OTA only) and also two mini's. What would be the pros and cons of such a move? Is it worth it to try to get something out of the aging equipment while I can, and upgrade? What say you all?

'One Missing Link' Helps Families Cope With Losing Loved Ones
For the last 18, she's helped others find their missing loved ones.
Janis and Stuart McCall founded One Missing Link in January 1994.
When Stacy disappeared, they were discouraged that there were no organizations out there to help find missing adults.
Since then, they've taken thousands of calls, and helped find hundreds of missing people of all ages -- many of them runaways.
One Missing Link helped the families of missing couple Rusty and Rebecca Porter cope with their disappearance.
Janis says since she's been in that position herself, she knows how to help families cope with the shock of dealing with the unknown.
"When you look at your parents' picture on that poster, it's going to be a rough time. You have no idea, when you lift up a missing poster, how scary that is to a family. When they see that poster that says 'missing'. Those big letters that say missing. It's terrifying."
The Porters' bodies were found last
July in rural
One Missing Link operates strictly on a volunteer basis, and depends on donations to keep its efforts going.

Mulchfest Recycles City Christmas Trees
New York, NY —
New Yorkers have from now until January 16th to have their trees mulched by the city. Sanitation crews will be out collecting leftover trees. Last year parks officials recycled more than 13,000 trees, but this year sanitation commissioner, John Doherty says they will need a little help.
DOHERTY: What we really want the people to think about when they put the tree out is take the ornaments off, take any lights off. And I know people like to put that plastic sheet around it so that when the pine needles come off they don't get all over the house. But when we bring it out we ask them to try to take that off.
The mulch will be used at city parks. You can also bring your tree to one of dozens of locations around the city. For more information on tree pick up or Mulchfest, visit

Upset over the recent hike in bus fare and non-implementation of poll promises, a large number of leaders and workers of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) took out a procession and staged a dharna on the Shimla-Bilaspur national highway at Darla under Arki subdivision on Monday.
Raising slogans, the workers demanded roll back of bus fare hike and increase in daily wages in accordance with the poll manifesto of the ruling Congress government.
The protesting workers assembled outside the party office and took out a procession up to the bus stand and staged a rally.
Addressing the rally, party leader Ram Krishan Sharma slamming the Virbhadra Singh government for its anti-people policies said it was a matter of grave concern that instead of initiating needed lawful steps to check inflation, unemployment and other remedial measures to protect the crops of farming community from growing attacks of wild and stray animals, the Congress government has enhanced the salary and allowances of MLAs and ministers.
He said the hike in salary and allowances showed that the Virbhadra Singh government was not only taking anti-people decisions, but also failed to safeguard the interests of the common masses during the initial phase of its rule in the state.
Trade union leader Mast Ram said the Congress was backtracking from its poll promises and was delaying the hike in daily wages from Rs 150 to Rs 300 on one or the other pretext.
He said despite repeated demands of the students, special bus services were also not being provided to the student community.

A quiet and comfortable base by the sea and away from the road. Ideal for hillwalking, fishing, wildlife watching, or just getting away for that long weekend. You can even bring the dog! Beautiful sea views from both spacious guest rooms.
Stac Fada - named after the sea stack in Stoer Bay - sits on the hill above the bay. Both our spacious guest rooms enjoy panoramic views across the Minch to the Western Isles and south over the split rock of Clachtoll to the Torridon Mountains.
We invite you to enjoy a leisurely breakfast of the best of local produce as you take in the view to Lewis and Harris whilst planning your day.
A short stroll takes you down to the beach and on to the remains of the ancient broch. In the bay, a passing seal or otter will often surface to watch you. A wander through our gate leads you into the wilderness, home to fragrant wild orchids, red deer, buzzards, red-throated divers and golden eagles. If you are feeling energetic, Quinag, Suilven and Stac Pollaidh are all within easy reach.
Once you have worked up an appetite, snacks, lunches or evening meals can be enjoyed in the pubs and restaurants of Lochinver.
If you are bringing your rod and flies, there are numerous hill lochs within walking range, the nearest just five minutes away. Howard will be delighted to direct you.
The summer days are blissfully long in the north, come and make the most of them!

This is Absolutely AMAZING ...........
... ly crap. -20*
Reviewing 3.0.139 (Jun 18, 2007)
Avoid this product and the people who produce it (BinarySense). I've been trying now for more than 2 months to get them to refund the ppurchase price for HDDLife, and they will not do it. They even asked me to sign a statement declaring that I have completely removed all trace of HDDLife from my system before they would refund my money. I printed, filled out, and mailed the form (to Russia!), but 10 weeks later, they still haven't refunded my money. Why did I want a refund? Because I could not get the product to start up after installing, and they repeatedly suggested workarounds that didn't work, until I finally gave up.
Reviewing 3.0.129 Beta (Apr 16, 2007)
- LOWER YOUR VOLUME ! - The extremely, unnecessarily loud warning-sound, even worse than when Kaspersky AV founds a virus, almost made me give it a 3 instead of a 4. (YES, i KNOW You can turn those sounds off, if they wouldn't it would definitely recieve a 3. Tinnitus is a quite high price to pay to try a software that might save Your HD...)
Found problems as soon as i installed it, something like this is recommended if You don't want to use a a diagnostics suite to manually check the SMART status.
It's quite the resource-chunk, starting up slowly and sometimes freezing when changing options.
I wonder if anyone actually buy software like this; You typically just install it to check the status for a week or so and then You won't need it to check the status again for many months to come anyway.
UPDATE - The uninstallation fails due to "another installation currently active", which doesn't work until You manually kill one of the program's processes, even after a restart of the computer. It sometimes also freezes for no reason after a few minutes after booting.
Did they intentionally put "BETA" in the topic because they are too lazy to actually fix the bugs instead? This is too much to be recommended, changing to a 2, since it actually does "work" sometimes.
Reviewing 2.9.102 RC1 (Sep 25, 2006)
Watch out guys! Don't ever try this kind horrorware ! Half year ago after using it within 3 days ate my HDD after . There are many free softs that do the same job but very safe at the same time...

Wonderful! It will be great to have the family together again. Joy to all!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Wonderful! It will be great to have the family together again. Joy to all!
Congratz on the great news! So happy for you :)
Good news for you. As most of my children are scattered all over the USA and don't see them often I know how you must feel to have them nearby. Thank you all for sharing him to keep us all safe. God bless you all.
I'm so glad for you that your son is home - I would be lost if my only (child) son went overseas. And my son is moving to Austin this weekend for jobs! I'm glad to hear it is a good place to live for young people. Thank your son and his family, which includes you, for his service to his country! God bless you all!
How very exciting and god bless our troops may they all return home safely to their families. I'm so happy for you, your family will surround you physically once again,
So happy he is home and safe! Enjoy!
So happy for you and thanks to him and his buddies for keeping our country safe!!!!!!
I am so glad to hear they are both coming home. I have a son stationed in Japan. We rarely see him. He has been there almost 5 years and loves it there. My DD and I went at Christmas time to visit and for his wedding. He married a wonderful Japanese girl. We miss them so.
Hi ChrisB: So happy for you and your family for being able to all be together in one state again. I'm sure it's not a feeling any of us can imagine until we've gone through the same thing. Thanks to your son for the protection he's given us all. Seeing your new grand baby in person has to be the cherry on the cake. Thanks to all!
Hallelujah! Home again safe and sound. Enjoy to the fullest and thank them for their service!!

Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo 15
Yeah, you tell him Sorata-papa! He doesn't deserve Mashiro, much less three of them!
But seriously what is with all the naked father skinship scenes? First Haganai now this show too?! PLZ STAHP
Still, gotta love that Arai Satomi Sorata-mama www
Man, for a show that has Sorata bringing back all the girls to his place, nothing much really happened. Well there was Yuuko, but her schtick is a bit lame now.
Of course that's not to say nothing really happened, it was just mostly extensions of the plot threads developed so far. Misaki-senpai took the entire episode to get out of her funk, while Mashiro and Sorata continue to reconcile. Meanwhile, Nanami was just happy enough to get to know Sorata's family for herself that she didn't really take any initiative except for telling Sorata the obvious thing about the game concept contest. I can't believe he never thought of the financial viability angle until now…

The team had three cars running, a BMW 3 series and a BMW Z3 Coupe running in the Grand Am Series and a Corvette running in the Rolex Sports Car Series. We have three drivers, Dave Rosenblum (Co-Owner of the team), Steve Lisa (other owner) and Chuck Hemmingson which are all stand up guys. I also got to meet Boris Said which was another highlight for me! I only got no more than 15 hours sleep from 6:30am Wensday morning to 11pm Sunday night but damn it was worth every minute. I may be flying out to Birmingham, AL Friday night for the race at Barber Motorsports, I just need to make sure I don't lose my current job. I pray that they hire me!!!
A lot of the pics didn't turn out to well because I don't have a high-speed digital camera and that makes it hard to take pics of cars doing well over 120mph! But anyway, here are some of the pics.
This one is our Rig

Yards Brewing Co. Steps It Up as Food for Thought Beer Sponsor
On March 23, ACHIEVEability is hosting its 2013 Food for Thought fundraiser in the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The night will be filled with amazing small plates from more than 25 of the top chefs and restaurants in the City of Brotherly Love, and for all you beer lovers out there, you're not forgotten: Yards Brewing Co. is the event's exclusive beer sponsor.
If you're a Philly beer fan, then you know and love Yards–their beers are solid classics. Not a lot of muss and fuss, no strange ingredients, just hitting all the notes in styles ranging from pale ales to stouts and porters and a spring-time favorite, saison.
The brewery with its brewing roots in British-style ales will be pouring 2 favorites: the Philadelphia Pale Ale (a favorite of mine … so crisp!) and Brawler.
But here's an even more exciting tidbit: If you happen to find yourself attending Food for Thought (which you really should … it's SUCH a great cause), then don't miss the pairing that Yards and Alla Spina have in store for you. Yards will be pairing their IPA with Alla Spina's mortadello hotdogs, which are typically served at the restaurant with spicy pickles and cabbage relish. And we all know how well IPAs pair with spicy foods, so this is going to be a real treat.
ACHIEVEability is an agency that permanently breaks the cycle of poverty for low-income, single-parent and homeless families. ACHIEVEability provides housing and supportive services so parents can pursue higher education and become self-sufficient. Everything the organization does promotes accountability for families. This year, ACHIEVEability is celebrating 31 years of helping families achieve self-sufficiency.
The event is a dream for those who love the great food of Philadelphia. Attendees will be able to sample food, using sustainable VerTerra plates and flatware, from more than 25 of the top chefs and restaurants in the city. There are a lot of my favorite restaurants and chefs on the list, but I'm most excited to check out some that are new-to-me:
Jonathan Adams / Rival Bros
Joseph Baldino / Zeppoli
Michael Deganis / Alla Spina
Dana Herbert / Desserts by Dana
Karl Isaiah / Cake Boulangerie
Ben Puchowitz / Matyson and Cheu Noodle Bar
Kevin Sbraga / Sbraga
Sylva Senat / Tashan
Aside from Yards being the exclusive beer sponsor, Capital Wines & Spirits is the wine and spirits sponsor for the event.
Now, on top of all the food and beverage goodness, there will be music and dancing, and an auction containing fantastic prizes, such as a romantic week for 2 in Belize.
The event is hosted at Urban Outfitters' headquarters at the Naval Yard in Philadelphia (check the site for driving directions).
Purchase your tickets here and be prepared for a wonderful evening benefiting a great cause and a full belly!

Prune your fruit trees as soon as the leaves have fallen. Even small, dwarf and potted trees benefit from pruning. I like using cordless battery-powered secateurs. Make sure you keep a few strong main limbs on each tree and try to encourage symmetrical branches off these.
If there are too many branches growing into the middle of the tree cut these out to increase ventilation, and to help the summer sun get to the fruit.
Cut out dead wood and any that is growing in the wrong direction, then shorten all the remaining stems so the tree is the shape and size you want. Cut these stems to an outward facing bud. Cut diagonally so rain will run off the cut.
Keep your secateurs sharp so the cuts aren't jagged, seal the larger cuts with Bacseal Pruning Paint, wipe your secateurs with white spirits, and don't prune when it's raining. Doing these things will stop diseases from spreading.
If you have kiwifruit vines, Incredible Edibles explains clearly on its website how to prune them.
Best trees in my garden? Feijoas. They've finished fruiting and now that I've trimmed them with the hedge clippers they give structure.

"Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith. But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, just as Jannes' and Jambres' folly was also" (2 Timothy 3:8-9, performed miracles before Pharaoh equal to those of Moses and Aaron?". Their appearance in 2 Timothy 3:8-9) needlessly cites the Holy Spirit as Paul's source of the names as he wants to avoid any reference to tradition as a source. He is in an argument with Catholic and Orthodox believers who hold reverence for the Bible and oral tradition. Rudd is a sola scriptura man but doesn't need to rely on inspiration when there was such wide-ranging evidence for these two magicians' names.
The Book of Jannes and Jambres and legends about their names, since the Old Testament does not supply their identities, clearly predate all those that cite them, i.e., OrigenF1, Cyprian, EusebiusF2 , ApuleiusF3, Numenius, PlinyF4 and Paul writing to Timothy in the first century. It is reasonably regarded as having been composed in Egypt, probably by a Jewish writer. In the 3rd century some church fathers doubted the authenticity of 2 Timothy partly because of its citing of this apocryphal book.
Details of the four surviving fragmentary texts that we have can be found online at http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/%7Epietersm/jandj.html where various solutions to the lost ending or sequel are put forward. The text includes the story of Jannes' consignment to Hades for his sins and his appeal to his brother Jambres not to follow in his footsteps. It may be that the legend was taken over by Jews and/or early Christians to create a cautionary tale encouraging repentance. The Penitence of Cyprian says that the brothers, in spite of acknowledging God, did not obtain forgiveness.
Although Pliny the Elder, born A.D. 23 was a contemporary of Paul, his reference to Moses and Jannes in his Natural History in the chapter dealing with magic was not published until A.D. 77. So we must look elsewhere for any written source predating Paul. Another contemporary of Paul was Jonathan ben Uzziel, a promising student of Rabbi Hillel, and contemporary of Jesus. He is regarded as the oral author of the Targum of Jonathan, not finally circulated in written form much before the 5th century. On Exodus 7:11 this Aramaic paraphrase of the biblical text has:
"and Pharaoh called the wise men and the magicians; and Janis and Jambres, the magicians of the Egyptians, did so by the enchantments of their divinations." (Targum of Jonathan to Exodus 7:11; cf. similarly on 1:15)
Other Jewish traditions regard these men as being the source of Pharaoh's warning about the birth of Moses (Babylonian Talmud, Sotah 11a; Sanhedrin 106a, cf. Menachot 85a). Furthermore a later Midrash (Yelammedenu, Ki Tissa, Exodus 32) relates that they came out of Egypt with Moses but fell away and were part of the making of the golden calf.
Thus, there are plenty of oral and written sources for Paul to have found their names. The use of an apocryphal book is not wrong in itself, some may contain 1%-99% truth or facts. Jude quotes from the book of Enoch verbatim. Paul's use of Jannes and Jambres is illustrational not doctrinal and the true or apocryphal story serves to illustrate his point, not to establish the veracity of the tale, one way or another.
F1: Commentary on Matthew 27:9; Against Celsus
F2: Præparatio Evangelica, 9.8
F3: Apuleius in his Apologia mentions Moses and Jannes as amongst the world's great magicians at his 2nd century A.D. trial for magical practices.
F4: Historia Naturalis, 30.1

A kitten with its head torn off, a puppy thrown across a busy road, seals bludgeoned to death, a cat shot five times with an air rifle.
These are just a handful of horrific cases of animal abuse on the SPCA's annual List of Shame.
The list, provided exclusively to the Herald on Sunday, contains the 46 worst cases of animal cruelty, neglect and torture over the last year.
SPCA chief executive Robyn Kippenberger said the list was disturbing and shocking and was only the "tip of the iceberg".
"The young boys using the puppy as a basketball in South Auckland stands out as particularly vicious and sinister," she said.
"The most disturbing thing is when young people, especially young men, are concerned. We know the likelihood is very high that they will use the same sort of violence against people."
* Te Ahu Aaron Mankelow of Gisborne fed five live kittens to his dog.
* David Hemuera Snook, of Pukekohe, tore the head off a kitten in front of his family.
* A young Dunedin primary schoolboy was caught torturing his neighbour's hens. One died of stress.
* Two dogs were left chained up in Whangarei while their owner was away over Christmas. The older dog had a seizure caused by heat stroke, and the younger dog's internal organs had started to cook. He had to be put down.
* A dog in Wellington was tied to a 10kg weight and drowned near Titahi Bay. After surgery on a knee, a Wanaka dog was left out in the open in a cage with no shelter or water, lying on a blanket covered in urine and faeces.
* A dog in Otatara, near Invercargill, was found burned, bloodied and peeling after being doused in solvent.
* A cat in Whangarei was put down after boiling water was poured over its body.
* In Alexandra an 18-year-old boy shot at his dog with an air rifle to stop it from barking.
* Two pet dogs were stolen, bludgeoned to death and thrown in a sewage pond in Otematata, South Canterbury.
* A malnourished dog was found with three bullet holes in his head in Wairau Valley, near Nelson. It appeared that someone had tried to euthanise it and left it to die.
* A dog was found dead in Invercargill after being locked in a room surrounded by rubbish and faeces and left to starve.
* A 1-year-old pet lamb in Rotorua had to be put down as a result of severe starvation.
* A female dog was hit by a car in Tauranga, resulting in a dislocated hind leg. The owner left the dog for up to three months without treatment.
* In Thames a pitbull was found with horrendous injuries to the left side of her face. The skin had been removed from her ear to her eye and down to her jaw.
* Two youths ran over and bludgeoned to death two seals and a pup at the Kaikoura peninsula seal colony.
* A kitten was found with its ears cut off in Carterton. A trekking horse was euthanised because of its emaciated condition.
* Two puppies were left for dead in a cardboard box in Feilding.
* A family cat in Palmerston North was shot five times with a slug gun.
* Kereama Joseph Phillips, 33, attacked a 6-month-old pup with an iron bar in Waitara.
* A puppy was kicked, struck against a tree and thrown through a basketball hoop by four boys in South Auckland.
* A goat in New Plymouth was killed after its throat was slashed with a blunt knife.
* A family cat was shot at close range with an air rifle in Otumoetai, in the Bay of Plenty. The bone was shattered in the cat's leg.
* A pet cat spent up to two weeks caught in an illegal steel-jaw leg hold trap on a Christchurch property.
* A duck was shot with a crossbow in Porirua.
* A puppy in Kerikeri was thrown or kicked across a busy road. A truck driver stopped when he saw the dog fly in front of his truck.

Justin and Selena Back Together in Utah - Harry Styles, Taylor Swift Split for Christmas?
Young Celebrity Christmas - Justin Bieber and girlfriend Selena Gomez are back together for Christmas and in Utah.
The pair had split earlier with reports claiming Selena had dumped Justin, but it appears Bieber got a wonderful Christmas present from Gomez - she's back.
The young lovers were caught snuggling and kissing at the airport in Salt Lake City, Utah right before Christmas.
Taylor Swift and Harry Styles aren't as fortunate, they are splitting for Christmas, although it is only temporary.
The One Direction hunk and the blonde singer - who were pictured enjoying a skiing break in Utah over the weekend - won't be spending the festive period together as Harry will be in his native UK while Taylor will be in Australia.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Harry and Taylor have spent a lot of time together recently as they really enjoy each other's company, which is why they decided to go on the skiing mini-break together this weekend.
"They're both massive stars and Taylor already had the commitment to go to Australia and Harry's family were really keen to see him over the holidays. But they're already planning their next meet up - Taylor has suggested to Harry that he flies out to Australia to meet up with her there."
However, Taylor isn't too disappointed about spending time away from Harry because it will be hot in Australia and she can work on getting a tan.
She said: "It's gonna be non-stop sun. So it will be weird to have a tan around Christmas but I'm really excited about it."

The Privacy Commissioner says New Zealand websites and apps need to do a better job of telling users what they are doing with people's information and how secure that information is after nearly a third were found to have flawed privacy measures.
Commissioner Marie Shroff made the comments in response to a global survey of sites, including New Zealand examples, which found a large proportion had no privacy policy, an inadequate policy, poor contact information or other concerns.
They included websites or apps for schools, legal firms, and retailers.
The Global Privacy Enforcement Network sweep of websites checked the transparency of 393 New Zealand sites.
It looked at whether a new user could read the privacy policy and have a fair idea about whether personal information was being collected, what it would be used for, and whether it would be shared with third parties.
The survey found that 125 sites or apps did not have a privacy policy or an equivalent - a finding which Ms Shroff said was disappointing.

There are a few things girls look for out of an Instagram profile. The first is obviously sartorial snapshots that look more like an couture editorial shoot than a bathroom selfie. Our second requirement is something just plain pretty. It could be latte art, a bouquet of flowers, or maybe those new Louboutins that hit the market yesterday. The third? Hollywood, baby. An exclusive peak into the luxe lives of celebs will always be approved. And believe it or not, there's one profile that fulfills all of these requirements. Jamie Chung, a graduate of The Real World, actress, style icon, and the wife-to-be of Bryan Greenberg knows her Instagram etiquette. Click through to find out why you need to press "follow" and welcome Jamie into your feed today.
How could scrolling through Instagram (something usually done in a sedentary position) inspire you to get up and workout. That concern is completely understood, but Jamie Chung is actually one of the best celebrity motivators out there. She's an avid runner (who always shares pics of her cute sneaks) and can perform a powerful plank. How could you not want to get fit after seeing this pic?
From crop tops with pencil skirts to high-top sneakers with ripped jeans, Jamie Chung's outfits are dynamic yet completely doable, meaning you could easily recreate her looks at home. Don't know what to wear tomorrow? The New York Fashion Week regular could help.
This girl appreciates a good floral arrangement—and life could always use more flowers.
The water is supposed to be calming, which is why we all need more of these beachy scenes to pop up into our Instagram feed. Jamie Chung is the queen of a sand-and-surf snapshot. Sometimes she's frolicking around in her bikini, other times she's teaching us what a good investment a fedora can be.
Oh, the spa classic. Cucumbers over eyes will always remind us of sleepovers and all those DIY attempts to make our hair shinier. Jamie doesn't usually post spa pics, but her makeup, hair, and skin is always flawless. She'll definitely inspire you to take a step outside your lip gloss comfort zone.
Cute puppies on Instagram? Double like.
Even if you're not the outdoorsy kind of gal, Jamie Chung's picturesque moments will have you signing up for that nature walk (or at least a stroll through Soho) with your boyfriend.
Valentino. Why her Instagram should really be your BFF.

I have been wanting to make ice pops at home. I remember when I was younger we'd make ice pops from Tang orange juice or Kool Aid.. And instead of those sugary candy ice pops, you can make a healthier version using real fruits and yogurt.
I bought silicone ice pop molds from Saizen. I prefer using silicone molds rather than those hard plastic ones because the silicone molds are more flexible and it won't break your ice pop when you try to remove it.
From Saizen
You can use whatever fruits you have at home. I made two flavors: banana combined with raspberry, and mango combined with lemon. Next time I'm going to try strawberry-kiwi. I even read a blog post about the basil-lemon combination, which I'd better try in the future.
For the banana-berry yogurt ice pop, I chopped one banana and placed it in a blender with a handful (or two) of raspberries, and 1/2 cup of yogurt. After blending, I did some layering in the popsicle mould. First layer is a spoonful of plain yogurt, next layer is your blended fruits and yogurt, and last layer is just another spoon of plain yogurt.
For the mango-lemon yogurt ice pop, I used one sliced mango with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, and 1/2 cup of yogurt. Again, first layer is plain yogurt, next layer is the blended fruits and yogurt, and last layer is plain yogurt.
Some people, like my sister, may find the yogurt ice pops sour. I however don't mind the sourness because this dessert is supposed to be a healthy version of your ice cream/ice pop. If you prefer to have sweeter yogurt ice pops, you can add sugar (it's up to you how many spoons of sugar you add) to plain yogurt. Whisk it until the sugar is well mixed with the yogurt.
