FAO Uganda Information Bulletin - Vol. 3 Issue 5, May 2010
Welcome to the second issue of the FAO - Uganda Information Bulletin in 2010. Farmer Field Schools have proven to be an effective farmer-led extension methodology in Uganda. In 2006, FAO adapted the methodology to the northern Uganda situation as one of the strategies to facilitate the resettlement process in order to revive agricultural productivity. The FFS has also been successful elsewhere, like in the case of fighting the Banana Bacterial Wilt disease in 2008. Owing to this success His Excellency the President of the Republic of Uganda called for its countrywide adoption. In this regard, FAO trained frontline district extension officials from 15 districts in northern Uganda in the methodology. In this issue, readers will learn about the training and what is expected of these Master Trainers.
This issue also discusses several FAO implemented projects including the new projects that will (1) support the production and updating of the dairy sector strategy, improve the (2) supply of "Mukene" fish and (3) the quality, accessibility, relevance and reliability of national statistics on food and agriculture.
This issue highlights FAO's efforts in addressing the two devastating cassava diseases - Cassava Brown Streak Disease and Cassava Mosaic Disease and how the Agricultural Livelihood and Recovery Project is facilitating the resettlement process and improving livelihoods in Northern Uganda.

( Received 2 June 2003 / Accepted 5 August 2003 )
We present observational estimates of the magnitude difference between the luminosity function red giant branch bump and the horizontal branch ( ), and of star counts in the bump region ( Rbump), for a sample of 54 Galactic globular clusters observed by the HST. The large sample of stars resolved in each cluster, and the high photometric accuracy of the data allowed us to detect the bump also in a number of metal poor clusters. To reduce the photometric uncertainties, empirical values are compared with theoretical predictions obtained from a set of updated canonical stellar evolution models which have been transformed directly into the HST flight system. We found an overall qualitative agreement between theory and observations. Quantitative estimates of the confidence level are hampered by current uncertainties on the globular cluster metallicity scale, and by the strong dependence of on the cluster metallicity. In case of the Rbump parameter, which is only weakly affected by the metallicity, we find a very good quantitative agreement between theoretical canonical models and observations. For our full cluster sample the average difference between predicted and observed Rbump values is practically negligible, and ranges from -0.002 to -0.028, depending on the employed metallicity scale. The observed dispersion around these values is entirely consistent with the observational errors on Rbump. As a comparison, the value of Rbump predicted by theory in case of spurious bump detections due to Poisson noise in the stellar counts would be ~0.10 smaller than the observed ones. We have also tested the influence on the predicted and Rbump values of an He-enriched component in the cluster stellar population, as recently suggested by D'Antona et al. (2002). We find that, under reasonable assumptions concerning the size of this He-enriched population and the degree of enrichment, the predicted and Rbump values are only marginally affected.

About Me
Working with the Hard Knox Roller Girls for my 5th year 2009-2014
Internationally published Photographer
I am looking to build the fashion side of my portfolio. I am interested in shooting with all types of people on a limited TFP basis. I find the darker, gothic photos seem to fit my rock 'n' roll style of photography. The more outlandish & bizarre the better! Traditional glamor shots while pretty are not my style. I shoot for two reasons, for the sake of art or for paying clients. I am also hoping to build a little network of models that I can photograph on a regular basis. Quite often I am asked to refer models for shoots and events. Having a list of go to models makes the task of having reliable and dependable models for these shoots a reality.
I welcome models to bring along an escort to any shoot. This is for your safety as well as mine. I find having someone that knows you well that I can ask for their opinion makes for a better shoot. I am always very professional yet we will also have fun during our shoot. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have on your mind. I also entertain any ideas that you may have for a specific type of shoot.

~The APC had pulled up on top of a large mound, there was a decayed building in the shape of a semi circle rising from the sand to their right and a large communications type tower with a crumbling building behind it to the left. The marines had already set up and the hunt teams were gearing up when the APC opened its rear hatch.
I stepped out onto to mound and the first thing I did was grab a handful of earth. Earth fresh from the surface, Q and Veii would never believe it. I was getting used to the heat by now, which was lucky considering it was overwhelmingly hot again outside of the APC. If this is what I came out to first, I would have resigned.
I got tapped on the shoulder; it was Dirt trying to tell me I was being called, with the eye-pod up full-blast it did a good job of drowning people out. I pushed the stop button and was showered in liquid. Before I could get angry I realised it was red, I looked up at Dirt clutching at his neck. The sounds of the world around me came flooding in as the music stopped.
"Sniper!" Yelled one Marine.
"In the tower" Yelled another.
"Everyone take cover" Yelled the first again.
I was frozen in fear looking at the life fade from young Dirt's face. Suddenly I was jerked to the left, a bullet whizzing past the back of my head narrowly missing me, it impacted in the dirt where I was just kneeling. I looked up at Kai who had pulled me out of the way.
"Stay down kid!" She yelled at me as we both scurried over to the APC. We were on the right-hand side of the vehicle. Which was now the only thing between us and the sniper. My team was over the other side of the hill, safely tucked out of sight. I was now huddled behind the APC with Alpha team. Jon quickly came over to us.
"You guys alright?" he whispered, I nodded my head and Kai sat back holding her right arm, the bullet had grazed her arm while she was saving my ass. Jon noticed but Kai let him know she was ok, Jon was about to argue when I heard a muffled phwip sound followed by Jon jumping straight up and losing his footing, falling flat to the ground on his chest, there was a growing red circle in the middle of his left bum cheek.
I quickly pulled out my standard issue ASMC light fire side arm and immediately spotted the man, he had crept the flank while everyone was trying to hide from the sniper. He pointed his silenced pistol towards me, I lined him up and pulled the trigger, the bullet soared through the air and collected the baggy dressed waster right between the eyes. He dropped dead as Kai was looking at me in astonishment. I heard something in the distance and looked out from the APC towards the tower, there was a platform at the top which was home to three wasters one had a sniper rifle, one had a pair of binoculars and the other had...
"Run!" I yelled as I grabbed Jon's shirt and tried to pull him away from the APC, Kai instinctively grabbed the other side and we took off towards the embankment. Lia was not far behind. I could hear the whistle of the incoming rocket and before I knew it the APC exploded into a massive fireball, we were thrown the few extra feet to the other side of the embankment.
The Hunt teams had loaded up the automatic rifles and were returning fire on the tower. Stray flurries of bullets clanging off the metal girders, and the creaking stress of the demolished APC was drowning out my hearing.
~The Hunt teams turned their focus to more ground wasters trying to flank Bravo sweep team, they cut them down quickly but gave the tower time to reload the rocket launcher. The waster with the launcher took aim at the hum vee but before he could fire the hum vee launched forward and sped straight towards the tower crashing through one leg then continuing through to the other, the unstable tower creaked and moaned before collapsing the direction of its missing legs. It brought the tower down right near Alpha teams bunker and the three waster came spewing out.
Kai acted quickly when the tower dropped, she moved in and shot the waster that was getting to his feet, she kicked away the rocket launcher and clocked the second with the butt of her gun. The sniper had got to his feet behind her, he took aim and then a shot. I was a little shocked at first I thought he had just shot Kai. But the sniper had dropped his weapon and grabbed his butt cheek.
"God damn waster piece of garbage, how's it feel with a bullet in your ass? Doesn't feel nice does it?" Jon said as he hobbled over to the waster and punched him in the face knocking him out cold. "What the hell happened here?" Jon yelled.
"It was the new tech" said the ASMC captain who was walking towards us with his automatic rifle held against his chest and smoking barrel pointed at the ground "He messed up the scan, dropped us in a hot zone"
"What the hell Keegan, are you deliberately finding incompetent people just to make our life harder!" Jon said becoming more annoyed.
"Well actually it was a software glitch designed by the ASMC not me" Said the Tech stepping out from behind Keegan. I could hardly believe my eyes when I seen him, unable to control myself I ran forward and wrapped my arms around him.

Van der Sar sticks to his guns
Edwin van der Sar has ruled out the possibility of prolonging his international career past Euro 2008.
By Chris Burton
Last Updated: 08/04/08 2:33pm
Edwin van der Sar has ruled out the possibility of prolonging his international career past Euro 2008.
The Dutch keeper made the decision to step aside over a year ago and insists that he will not change his mind.
With current national coach Marco van Basten set to relinquish the reins after this summer's tournament, incoming coach Bert van Marwijk has stated his desire for the Manchester United shot-stopper to remain in the fold.
However, after 14 years in the Dutch squad which has included three World Cup Finals and three European Championships, Van Marwijk looks unlikely to be able to force Van der Sar into a retirement U-turn.
"As things are now it's out of the question," Van der Sar told Sportweek magazine.
"I cannot think of any arguments that could make me change my mind.
"I have an idea how I want to end my career in the Dutch team and extra-time doesn't fit into that idea."
The veteran keeper did confirm that he intends to play on for another season at Manchester United, but admits that he remains unsure as to what the future may hold after that.
"I don't know how I will feel in 2009 and that is a disadvantage of a longer stay with Oranje," he said.
"You must be able to be part of the group for two years, including the World Cup.
"You don't want to be part of some qualifiers and then step out of the race. Playing a tournament is by far the most fun."

|RE: using multiple page sequences

Thanks for you response John, hopefully I can answer your questions. From what I understand, we have a web-based application that uses Linux Apache-Tomcat as the web-server to do the rendering. This is a decent machine and we have allocated extra memory (approx 1Gb) but being a web-app possibly many users can request data to be rendered into PDF at the same time therefore I need to keep things as small as possible. I'm not sure throwing more resources at it will ultimately fix it, I think that the actual XSL needs to change or possibly use a different rendorer. Has anyone had experience in setting up a machine to solely perform transformations? -----Original Message----- From: John Austin [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Friday, 12 March 2004 1:01 PM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Re: using multiple page sequences On Thu, 2004-03-11 at 22:02, Fleetwood, Brett (SSABSA) wrote: > Hi all, > Quick question: Have you increased the memory available to your JVM ?

A sword, a stone and a deadly legacy...
The theft of a whetstone from a Welsh museum and the murder of a curate during a grave robbery seem, at first, like random crimes. But the troubling deeds are linked by a precarious thread. An unusual collection of rare and scattered British antiquities has become a target--and the relics' value lies in something much more dangerous than money....
Annja Creed, archaeologist and host of television's Chasing History's Monsters, is in the U.K. when her mentor, Roux, interrupts her sojourn with news of the thefts. He's certain that the thirteen Treasures of Britain are wanted for their rumored power. Roux tasks Annja with locating and protecting the treasures before the wrong person finds them, meaning she must stand against a woman fueled by madness and the fires of her ancient Celt blood--and a sword as powerful and otherworldly as Annja's own.

From our family to yours, we wish you a very happy and prosperous 2017!
TBT: Christmas Time & My Soldier
It's Christmas Time, It's Family Time 2003
I can remember it, just like it was yesterday. My eldest son (D.A.K.) was home on leave from the Army during the holidays. He was stationed in Georgia and between training stints. I believe he was going to be departing for Colorado a few days after this photo was taken. We were able to enjoy the short visit, open presents, savor the flavors of the holidays with some of my special recipes and just soak up the love of family.
Proud Momma
Time together was precious and we knew it. Tomorrow would come soon enough, so we made the most of each moment. I KNOW without a doubt my boy KNEW I loved him and how proud I was of him and his decision to serve his country. (I must have told him 100 times in the few days we were together.)
The evening of his arrival, we decided to go to an older part of town that was well known for their Christmas display and Kris Kringle. We had pictures taken in front of the old-time sleigh and with Mr. Kringle himself. Everywhere we went people were stopping my son and conveying their thanks for his service to his country.
Joining the Military
You see, it was the event of 9-11 that had such an overwhelming effect on DAK. Shortly after the towers fell, he made the decision that he wanted to be part of movement to bring those who invaded our country, hijacked our planes, and killed our citizens to justice. He did just that and hasn't looked back.
He is no longer in the service and like many of his comrades, struggles with the effects from being exposed to several years in Iraq. Like any good mother does, I say prayers for my children, daughters-in-love, and grandchildren daily. I know my boy is a strong man and with time healing will find him.
What is Christmas
From Creation to Bethlehem
by Ken Ham on November 27, 2013; last featured December 8, 2016
What is Christmas? This article shows the surprising connection between Christmas and the creation of the world.
Note: This article is featured in this booklet, which shows the surprising connection between Christmas and the creation of the world.
In December, many Christians celebrate a holiday called Christmas.1 What is Christmas? During this season, there is particular emphasis on an event that occurred around 2,000 years ago in the town of Bethlehem in Judea (today called Israel).
Christmas commemorates the birth of a baby—an event recorded in the Bible in such New Testament passages as Luke 2:1–20 and prophesied about in Old Testament passages such as Isaiah 7:14. The name given to this baby was Jesus.
During Christmas time, many churches display nativity scenes. These exhibits show the newborn Jesus in a stable surrounded by various animals, shepherds, and Mary and Joseph. Such nativity scenes traditionally have also been displayed in public places (shopping centers, public schools, parks, etc.) in much of our Western world.
Also at Christmas, people sing special songs known as "carols." The words of many of these carols outline the events surrounding the birth of Jesus.
Because of the influence of Christianity and the birth of baby Jesus, history is divided into two basic divisions—AD (Anno Domini, Latin for "in the year of the Lord," Jesus) and BC ("before Christ"). As evidenced by the fact that Western calendars and historians count the number of years from this time, this was a very significant event even apart from religious aspects.
Christmas Is Changing
In much of the Western world today, nativity scenes are no longer displayed in public places. Such displays are now banned from many public parks and schools.
Whereas Christmas carols used to be sung in public (i.e., government) schools, many times such songs have been replaced by ones that do not mention anything about Jesus and His birth.
Furthermore, more and more people are now calibrating their calendars with BCE (Before the Common Era) and CE (Common Era), rather than "before Christ" and "in the year of our Lord (Jesus)." The year-counts are the same, but the name of Christ has been removed.
–>In public schools in America, teachers and students are being urged or required by administrators and lawyers fearful of lawsuits to use phrases like "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings" instead of "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Christmas."
Many advertising pieces during the Christmas season now delete the "Christ" part of the word "Christmas."
Why was the birth of the baby Jesus considered so significant in the first place? And why is Christmas being viewed differently today? What has happened to cause an event which has so influenced the modern world to be slowly erased from people's thinking?
The History
To understand the significance of the birth of this baby, we need to understand the history that led up to this event. The only compilation of books in the world that gives a detailed history that enables us to fully comprehend the significance is the Bible.
Over three thousand times the Bible claims to be the revealed Word of the God who created the universe and all life, and who has made Himself known to man. If this book really is God's Word, then it should explain the meaning of the universe and life—and it does. Not only that, but observational science continues to confirm the Bible's history as true. (See our booklets on the accuracy and authority of the Bible: available as a free PDF or on our online store.)
Genesis (which basically means "origins"), the first book of the Bible, gives an account of the origin of life and the universe. It tells of the origin of matter, light, earth, plants, sun, moon, stars, animals, humans, marriage, clothing, death, languages, nations, and so on.
In Genesis 1:27 and 2:7, we read of the creation of the first man called "
Adam." Interestingly, in 1 Corinthians 15:45, the one born in Bethlehem is called "
the last Adam." To understand the reason for the "
last Adam," you have to understand what happened to the "first Adam."
The First Adam
The Bible records that on the sixth day of Creation, God made the first man and woman:
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. (Genesis 1:27)
We read more of the details concerning the creation of the first man in Genesis 2:7:
And the Lord God formed man [Adam] of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
We are later told in Genesis 2:21–23 that God created the first woman from the first Adam's side. From elsewhere in the Bible, we learn that all humans who have ever lived descended from these two people (Genesis 3:20; Acts 17:26; and so on). Therefore, all humans today are related because we have the same first ancestors.
God's Instruction
When God created Adam, He didn't make him to be a puppet; Adam had the ability to choose and make decisions. God gave Adam an instruction to obey in Genesis 2.
Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." (Genesis 2:15–17)
Adam's Fall
Not long after this command to Adam, Satan, through a serpent, deceived Eve into eating the fruit. And Eve gave some to Adam, and he ate as well. Adam chose to disobey God by eating the fruit of the one tree God had told him not to eat from (Genesis 3:6).
Because Adam was the first or "head" of the human race and all humans ultimately have come from this first man, what Adam did affected all of humanity. When Adam disobeyed his Creator's instruction (resulting in his "fall" from his state of perfection), that was the first sin. And just as God had warned, the punishment for Adam's sin was death—not only for Adam, but for all his descendants (including you and me) as well:
Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned. (Romans 5:12)
Why are we punished for what Adam did? As the head of the human race, Adam represented each of us, and because we all come from Adam, we have his nature, inherited from him. He sinned (disobeyed God), so we sin (disobey God). If it had been any of us faced with the decision to eat or not eat from the forbidden tree instead of Adam, the result would have been the same.
Oh! The Nakedness
After Adam and Eve sinned, Genesis 3:7 states that "
they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings."
In sewing fig coverings, it wasn't just that they recognized that they had no outer clothing—they also saw that they were destitute of righteousness. Their innocence was lost. Adam and Eve were no longer perfect but were now polluted creatures in their hearts and their flesh. They were naked before the justice of God's law, and the fig leaves were attempts to cover what they had done.
However, no man or woman can hide their sinfulness from the sight of a holy God by their own doings. God sees us in all our nakedness and knows our impure, sinful, rebellious hearts.
The Bible says our attempts at covering ourselves (our "righteousness") are but "
filthy rags" to the Creator (Isaiah 64:6). No ceremonies, rites, or attempts at keeping the law can change this. Our works cannot take away our sin because our hearts are impure (Jeremiah 17:9). We cannot make ourselves acceptable before a holy, pure God because of the gross imperfection of our very nature—just as Adam and Eve's fig leaf coverings could not help them.
How can we ever be reconciled with a holy God? This is an important question since we are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), and as such, even though our bodies die because of sin, our soul (the "real us" that inhabits our bodies) lives forever. As sinners, we cannot live with a holy and righteous God, nor can we make it to heaven by our own works—we would be separated from God forever and live in our evil, sinful states for eternity. What a horrible existence that would be. As the Apostle Paul says in Romans 7:24, "
O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?"
The Promise of the "Last Adam"
In Genesis 3:15, God made a statement to the deceiving serpent that actually sums up the message of the entire Bible and provided hope to Adam and Eve and their descendants (us!) that there was a way to be saved from the effects of sin. So, what is Christmas? Well this declaration summarizes what the Babe of Bethlehem is all about; in fact, it is the whole meaning of "Christmas":
And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.
What does this mean?
Genesis 22:18 gives us further clues about the identity of the promised "
seed" of the woman who will bruise the head of the serpent:
In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.(emphasis added)
And Paul clarifies things in Galatians 3:16:
Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, "And to seeds," as of many, but as of one, "And to your Seed," who is Christ. (emphasis added)
Paul builds upon the use of the singular "
seed" in Genesis 22:18. Here we see the extent of the infallibility of Scripture, down to the use of singular and plural words.
The words "
her seed" are actually a prophecy concerning the One who, conceived by God Himself, would be born of a woman (actually a "virgin"): the baby who was born in Bethlehem—the last Adam.
The "Head" and the "Heel" of Genesis 3:15
It is a great mystery to fallible, created human beings like us that the Creator God (Colossians 1:16) became flesh (John 1:14) so that as a perfect Man, He could become "
sin for us" (2 Corinthians 5:21) by dying on a cross to suffer the penalty for sin (the meaning of "
bruise his heel"). But, because He is the infinite Creator, He has ultimate power, and thus He rose from the dead, overcoming the Curse.
Bruising the serpent's head" speaks the mortal wound Satan received through Christ's victory over him at Calvary. He is a defeated foe. His operation now is like the pockets of Japanese soldiers of World War II fighting after the surrender in August 1945—they could still instill casualties and do much harm, but they could not win the war.
Jesus came to take away sin and conquer the power of the grave—death.
Clothed by God
God illustrated what needed to be done to Adam and Eve by a particular act. In Genesis 3:21 we read:
Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.
God killed at least one animal—the first blood sacrifice—to provide the garments as a covering for their sin. It was a picture of what was to come in Jesus, who is the "
Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29).
It is only the covering provided by God that can cover man's "
filthy rags." The righteousness that enables a sinner to stand "
just" in the sight of God is from God. No human being can put on the righteousness of Christ, for this can only be done by God (1 Corinthians 1:30). We can't rely on our good works (our "coverings of fig leaves") or on sacraments (e.g., communion, baptism) to stand just before God. It is only what God does for us that enables us to be clean before our Creator.
How Can We Be Clothed?
Now, if it is only God who is able to clothe us in righteousness, how can we obtain that clothing?
The Bible makes it very clear in Romans 10:9:
That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
When we acknowledge that we are sinners before God, repent of our sin, and confess the Lord Jesus, acknowledging that He died and rose from the dead, we receive the free gift of salvation from our Creator and will spend eternity with Him.
The Two Adams
The first Adam gave life to all his descendants. The last Adam, Jesus Christ, communicates life and light to all men (John 1:4). He gives eternal life to those who receive Him—who believe in His name—giving them the "
right to become children of God" (John 1:12).
The first Adam experienced the judgment of God. He eventually died and his body turned to dust. Because of his sin, death came upon all men, "
For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
The last Adam, Jesus Christ, also experienced the judgment of God—not for His own sins (He lived a perfect life), but for the sins of mankind. He died on the Cross to atone for sin (Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 3:18; Hebrews 2:9). But He did not stay dead, nor did His body "
see corruption" (Acts 2:27; 13:35–37). On the third day, He rose again, thereby overcoming the devil and the power of death for all people who believe in Him (Hebrews 2:14), and bringing resurrection from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:22–23).
This is the message of the Babe born in Bethlehem. It starts with the creation of a perfect world, and then, because of our sin in Adam, leads to our need of a Savior—which is why Jesus stepped into history to become flesh 2,000 years ago.
What Is Happening to Christmas?
Throughout the world, generations of young people are being educated in schools, colleges, and by the media with evolutionary ideas about our origins.
Sadly, they are being brainwashed into believing that the history in Genesis concerning the first Adam and the entrance of sin is not true. Logically then, they begin rejecting the truth of the last Adam, Jesus Christ.
If the history in Genesis concerning our origins is not true and therefore the birth of Jesus is insignificant, then why should nativity scenes be allowed in schools and public places? Why should students sing carols about a meaningless event?
The erosion of Christianity in society is directly linked to the attack on the history of Genesis and the increasing indoctrination in a false history that has permeated the culture: that man is a result of millions of years of evolutionary processes.
Whatever the month of the year, the event that Christians celebrate in a very special way at Christmas is a message of hope for all people.
The message of the two Adams is what life is all about. But if we want people to understand this message, we need to ensure that we show them clearly that the history in Genesis is true, for otherwise, they will not understand or listen to what is said about the Babe of Bethlehem.
Here's the Good News
Answers in Genesis seeks to give glory and honor to God as Creator, and to affirm the truth of the biblical record of the real origin and history of the world and mankind.
Part of this real history is the bad news that the rebellion of the first man, Adam, against God's command brought death, suffering and separation from God into this world. We see the results all around us. All of Adam's descendants are sinful from conception (Psalm 51:5) and have themselves entered into this rebellion (sin). They therefore cannot live with a holy God, but are condemned to separation from God. The Bible says that "
all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23) and that all are therefore subject to "
everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power" (2 Thessalonians 1:9).
But the good news is that God has done something about it. "
For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).
Jesus Christ the Creator, though totally sinless, suffered, on behalf of mankind, the penalty of mankind's sin, which is death and separation from God. He did this to satisfy the righteous demands of the holiness and justice of God, His Father. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice; He died on a cross, but on the third day, He rose again, conquering death, so that all who truly believe in Him, repent of their sin, and trust in Him (rather than their own merit), are able to come back to God and live for eternity with their Creator.
Therefore: "
He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God" (John 3:18).
The Babe of Bethlehem . . . what a wonderful Savior . . . and what a wonderful salvation in Christ our Creator!

Sailing through life
This is a little something I penned for my youngest son when he was preparing to enter college a couple of years back.
"While always remembering the direction leading home, grab the wheel of life, sail its seas, set your course toward adventure, enjoy the waves while leaving a trail of memories and your legacy." Copyright ©2014 Mendy Kelley
Seasons In Life
As we grow older and hopefully wiser, we realize that over the course of our lives a diverse group of people have come and gone. Some staying briefly, others for a season and on that rare occasion we've met someone who has stuck with us for a large part of our lives.
Ahh, the Memories
Recently while thinking about simple times, memories of my childhood came to mind. My friends who made junior high fun, crazy and sometimes naughty, like kissing boys under the bleachers (yes, I did that a time or two…who didn't?)
My youth was spent in the 1970's and for the most part I cannot recall a dull moment (okay, well maybe when I had to babysit my younger sisters.) If I wasn't cheering for our recreation club's football team (my mom sewed my cheerleading outfit as most did back then) my friends Sheri, Karla, Kim, and Amber and I were deciding whose house we'd be sleeping at on Friday night. We would spend those nights talking about boys (as they were never far from our minds), listen to the radio and have pillow fights. We all attended Sligh Junior High in Tampa, Florida which at the time was a 7th grade center designed for cultural integration in the community; it is now called Sligh Middle School (named after the street it faces) and is home to middle school kids in grades 5th – 7th.
In the late 70s, we would play 4-square in the school's courtyard after lunch and talk about boys (again..we were 7th grade girls) and on rare occasion other topics which ran the gamut. We wore the hairstyles of the day, one side straight down and the other clipped back tight against the head (a bit of a bizarre style if you ask me) or a long and feathered look, such as in my picture. School offered home economics class, shop and typing, I took all three not remembering what I made in either home eco or shop, but I do recall standing at an ironing board (who knew back then we'd have was and wear clothing in the 21st century?) We wore dresses that were at or below our knees, pantyhose and black baby doll (flat) shoes. We had "patrols" (with the orange patrol belt) who patrolled the halls making sure we didn't run and kept order on buses during the rides to/from school. Oh yeah, an on the rare occasion we would go to the mall…there would always be a line at the photo booth, you know…where you would go in, sit down, draw the curtain and start making goofy faces, then step out and wait a minute or two for your four shots to magically appear! The picture above is a photo booth sitting.
I remember quite well my time in junior high and physical education class, pfft! (rolling eyes!) Oh how I hated P.E.! I still believe the only form of exercise our Phy. Ed. teachers knew were laps; everyday without fail and as soon as we hit the basketball courts (after dressing out) we ran laps. I ran around that basketball court so many times one year I could tell you the location of every divot, crack and dip. I was determined not to have P.E. the following year so I got a part-time job at McDonald's on Busch Blvd across the street from Busch Gardens and signed up for the school's early work release program which allowed student to work in the afternoons on school days, usually reporting to work around noon. When a student was on early release P.E., home economics or shop were the classes of choice to drop from our class schedule; all the kids in this program thought it was the best thing in life, especially if we had the day off from work we still left school early.
Although Karla, Sheri, Kim, and Amber are not part of my life on a daily basis, a few of us still keep in touch via social media and texting. We are spread across the U.S. with Sheri in New Mexico, I am in Northern Kentucky and Karla, Kim and Amber are all in Florida. It's hard to believe some of us are grannies and these are my four precious ones.
Ahh, the memories are a nice escape from the hectic life most of us lead in adulthood. Just writing this article has conjured up some really great visions of years gone too soon. Wow its so hard to grasp that I turned 50 in February of this year, W-O-W…where has the time gone?
As I grow older by the day I've found that its the simple things in life that make L-I-F-E an adventure. As a Nona (grandmother/grandma in Italian), I love that I can love on my grandchildren and when they get cranky… I hand them back to mom and dad. I love that I don't have to put up with other people's drama and there's no law telling me I have to keep them in my life. I love that because of where I've been…I know where I'm going and planning my future has never been so much fun. I love that my "lifetime" friends love me for who I am and accept me completely, without question, ridicule or judgement. They just love me! And lastly, I love walking down MEMORY LANE and bringing all those great memories into the present. Thank you for letting me share a smidge of my past with you.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2011-01-31/Features and admins
The best of the week
New administrators
This week saw no new admins. Looie496 resigned as admin after a recall request against him succeeded, with five administrators "in good standing" supporting recall. Closing admin Kingpin13 wrote "Looie496 may at any time start another Request for Adminship, and a promotion there would override this recall. It should be noted that some of the administrators supporting recall said they might support an RfA." The request for recall made was in response to a controversial unblock performed by Looie496, while the block was under discussion at the administrators' noticeboard. This recall makes Looie496 one of the shortest-serving admins ever, since his RfA was in October (see the "F and A" blurb, The Signpost's story about a notable admin recall last July, and Wikipedia:Administrators open to recall/Past requests).
At the time of publication there are four live RfAs, all to close soon: Acdixon, Ponyo, Gonzonoir, and Smartse.

Copycat Crab Casserole from Hunan Chinese Buffet is a combination of crabmeat, cabbage, celery, sweet red bell peppers, mild cheddar cheese, cream cheese,sour cream, mayo, soy sauce, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and a touch of seasoning. The Copycat Crab Casserole from Hunan Chinese Buffet is then baked to a bubbly perfection in a 350-degree oven for about 30 minutes.
If you live near the Olive Branch Mississippi or Memphis area chances are you may have visited the Hunan Chinese Buffet on Goodman Road, it's the Mississippi hot spot for lunch after church and always packed. There's Crab Casserole on their American side of the buffet table that my mom loves so much. Every Sunday after church she piles a little on her plate and devours it, proclaiming it to be really good.I decided while my mom was at work I would make the Copycat version of Hunan Chinese Buffet and surprise her tonight; it turned out delicious. It only took me about 40 minutes from start to finish to make it's so simple and quick to put together and only needs to bake for 30 minutes. Continue reading

How Do I Say It?
How do I say it,
What words to use,
How to get this out,
What sounds to make,
Writer's block
The empty lines taunt me,
I search for an idea,
A feeling,
Anything to move me along,
But the page remains blank.
I can't seem to express
The feelings I feel.
They're there,
But they won't come out.
They are content to wait,
Slowly drive me insane,
Bouncing around my skull.
You're beautiful,
I said it.
I apologize,
I couldn't say it fancy,
No words would come,
But that's how I feel,
Plain and simple.

APS Provisioning Architecture
The following picture demonstrates basic APS application provisioning scheme including hosts involved into the provisioning process and data flow between them:
In case of provisioning APS application of the Shared Web Server provisioning type POA directly communicates with the target Shared Hosting server where an application will be installed.
In case of provisioning APS application of the External System provisioning type POA works through a Provisioning Gateway Host. Also, in this case additional gateway may be involved, like in case with Office 365 or Hyper-V APS applications.

I have a regular post-paid cell phone account, but regularly travel to places where one or more of the major carriers do not provide service. Since TracFone uses the network of more than one carrier, it will work in all of these places. I bought this phone for emergency use when I am in one of these "dead zones". The phone itself is a solid Samsung unit that can make phone calls, send text messages and supposedly do limited internet access (although I haven't tried that). The bundle I bought included the phone, wall charger and car charger. When activated, the phone includes 20 minutes of talk time which I figure is enough to call the auto club if I have trouble. TracFone doubles any additional minutes you buy so a 60 minute card actually gets 120 minutes. The phone displays the number of minutes you have left so you know when you're getting near the end of your time. I just charge this phone up every week or so and drop it into the console of my car for very inexpensive peace of mind.
We have a cell phone and an internet phone. Recently I had to go out of town and my wife had to take me to the airport. I needed the cell phone at my destination and I was worried at the possibility my wife could have a problem on the 45 minute drive home and not have a way to call for help. The Tracfone was the answer. For eleven bucks I got peace of mind. Then while I was gone, our internet phone started acting up. I walked her through a reset to no evail and now she was dependent on the Tracfone. I extended her minutes over my phone for another ten bucks and we had more peace of mind. My wife is a technophobe, but she had no problem using the features of the Tracfone. Also, I found their support to be prompt, courteous and effective. I was unable to register the phone on the website and when I called support we were up and running in less than three minutes. We might cancel our other cell phone service and keep this as our only cell phone.
This is a simple, inexpensive, yet terrific emergency telephone. I, unfortunately, have the ability to lose stuff as I'm getting older, and I don't like buying a more expensive phone that I MAY have to replace in short order. This phone does the trick for me. It doesn't have the features the super phones have, but it has enough for me. The calls are crystal clear, which is terrific since I live in a very rural area where cell phone reception can be somewhat problematic. I even get great reception inside my ridge-top home, where my other Tracfone (a different brand) gave me nothing. It was easy to set-up, and it performs flawlessly. My only issue with this phone is an inability to find a cover or case specifically for the phone. I'd like to cover it in a florescent orange case so it's always visible, but so far, no luck, and this has nothing to do with the phone itself. If you need an emergency, "go-to" phone, you should give this one a try.
My second job requires travel and is located in an area where Verizon doesn't reach very well. I have a Straight Talk CDMA phone a la Verizon towers and went with this one for my backup because it's GSM. Here are my first impressions about the S150G.
Built like a tank. (literally, I think Samsung is becoming the new Nokia)
Gets service where my Blackberry won't.
Costs less than $7 a month to maintain.
Double minutes.
Battery life seems good so far.
Candy bar design (prone to butt-dialing)
I got a telemarketer call the day after I'd signed up for service.
With that in mind, it's a good idea to put any new number on the Do Not Call list, seeing that I got a telemarketer call the next day after I'd activated my phone. Docked a star for that. Feel free to look around elsewhere for this phone. You simply aren't going to find it for less than at Walmart. I'd recommend the S150G to anyone looking for a good emergency phone.
If you're looking for the latest phone with multi-megapixel camera features and other fancy apps, then this is probably not the phone for you. But, if you're looking for a good phone to use simply to make calls, and to be able to be reached by someone in an emergency, then this phone is perfect. I recently started a new job that is 45 minutes away from my house, and I needed a simple phone that would allow me to call my work if I get stuck on the highway for any reason, or call my wife to see if she needs something at the store, and this phone is perfect for those uses. It cost less than $10, but , of course, you'll need to buy extra minutes periodically. But , you're not locked into a 2 year contract of any kind, and, at the price point, if the phone dies for some reason, you can just buy another one for $10. It has a decent speaker (although I would have liked it if it was Bluetooth-capable) and is a good deal for the $$$.
Got this phone to augment service of the Straight Talk LG phone I recently bought. Verizon always has been "optimistic" about coverage in my area, and I found that my new "smart phone" didn't have the reception that my old flip phone had. I bought the Samsung (a brand I have had good luck with) with AT&T service, since AT&T website map indicated that my rural location was well within their coverage area. I get a little better service with the Samsung TracFone, but it is still somewhat "spotty". Still looking for a better solution, but this little TracFone will do for now. Gets slightly better service than the "smart phone". Both phones are probably pretty good. If the providers would be a little more honest about their coverage, or work a little harder to assist the consumer with problem issues, I would be better able to offer an objective review of the equipment, I suppose.
My Samsung smartphone had to be returned to the factory for a repair, and during the two week interval, I needed an emergency replacement. This phone (also a Samsung) perfectly filled that need. With the double minutes and the minimum minute purchase, I had over two hours of talk time. The activation process (online) was seamless and easy. Also, the voice quality is fine and the phone is small and fits in a shirt pocket. However, Tracfone started sending numerous text messages (no deduction of time if from Tracfone) and emails with offers and "reminders." I contacted them, and they stopped these notifications; however, this should be an option during setup. Nonetheless, I will keep this phone for any further emergency issues.
I bought this phone as a replacement for an LG. I was getting increasingly poor reception from the LG phone in the more rural MN area I live in. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this phone had better reception. It is also easy to use. The buttons work well. There is just one problem. The microphone doesn't seem to work too well and the voice quality it transmits is muffled and has an echo or tinny sound. The voice quality it receives is fine, just the voice quality it transmits. People receiving calls from this phone notice poor quality. Also, the battery doesn't last as long as I would have expected, but that's really minor. If it wasn't for the voice quality I would probably give it 5 stars (especially given the price). Sigh. Back to the drawing board.
I bought this phone for my 9 yr old granddaughter for emergency situations. I paid 9.88 online. Its a light weight inexpensive phone but for that price I'm just happy that it works! The sound quaility is very good, you get double minutes with this phone for every card you redeem. I would'nt buy this phone if you are planning on using it all the time, go for the pricier one. The only problem I noted are the buttons feel like they may not last a very long time and thats the reason for the 4 stars....but hey again 9.88...I'll just buy a new phone. It also comes with both home and auto chargers and those alone are worth the price.
I've never had a cell phone and was told to get one from girlfriend, so I chose one that has basic features and not loaded with any extra apps and/or internet browsing. I did not want to spend a whole lot of money on one either.
The Samsung S150g is perfect for those who need a cell phone for just calling someone or for an emergency. I recommend that u purchase the extra protection plan and to spend an extra $100 for the... Tracfone 1 Year of Service & 400 Minutes card. You will get 1 year of service & 400 minutes, well 800 minutes cause this "TracFone Samsung S150G Bundle, Double Minutes", doubles your minutes anytime u add airtime.
Again, great Tracfone deal for anyone who just need a phone for calls or emergencies.
We were looking for an easy way to put a phone into the hands of our 13 year old daughter. She's very responsible, we just needed a way for her to call when she needs a ride from practice after school and so on.
Easy to set up, just followed the directions. Came with 20 minutes already and a coupon book. I haven't had to add any minutes yet.
The phone is pretty basic; sound quality is fine; no camera. What I don't like is that TracFone kept sending text messages and voice mail messages regarding adding minutes, etc. I got six in two days. It costs minutes to listen to them and it took me awhile to figure out how to delete them without listening to them. I finally called customer service and told them to stop sending them but this is a sales practice on TracFone's part that I don't like.
I purchased the phone for my grandmother. She's very independent and likes to do things on her own. It's very easy to use. The double minutes are an added bonus.
This phone has great reception and is user friendly. Plus it is very durable. This phone went through the whole cycle in the washing machine and still works great.
I purchased this phone for myself because, as a college student, I cannot afford a regular cell phone with monthly bills. The phone comes with 20 minutes on it and additional minutes are inexpensive with the "double minutes". It is a nice small phone to use for emergencies or when I am out on the go and do not have access to my home phone. I would recommend it for anyone who cannot afford monthly cell phone bills or it would also be a great phone for children that are not ready for a "big kid" phone.
Great for a person who doesn't use a cell phone often. Great for a kid for emergencies.
This phone has GREAT reception and a decent loud speaker phone and for $9.99 comes with hands free ear set and a home & CAR CHARGER!
Having problems setting the clock but I really don't need a clock and I may just need to try harder.
This is a great deal especially if you don't want to be stuck with a contract, which is why I bought it. I am now back to buy 2 more for the family :)
ALSO ....I activated it at tracfone.com and got more than 120 days with a 60 minute 90 day card.
Great product for a senior like myself. Don't need a lot of bells & whistles.
You will love this nice large button basic phone. It's menus are logical and its fixtures are kept at a minimum. Good phone strength. Good value.
I am so pleased with this phone! A great buy and though I've only had it a few days and cannot speak to long term use, a Samsung with home and car charger and ear buds is really a steal! Setup was a breeze, transferring the number and service with tracfone from old phone was not that difficult, and the battery seems to hold a long charge.
I don't really need a lot of bells and whistles, just a good, practical phone for occasional use that won't cost the farm.
I bought this phone for my 88 year old mother who hardly ever used her old cell phone. We were paying almost $30/mo for that one which was a waste. I heard about this and it seems to be the answer. The sound quality is good and it's not complicated. I just have to remember to add the service and minutes when needed because that is too complicated for her but that won't be a problem.

Today, the ministry is excited to announce a level of sharing beyond the wildest imagination of anyone back at that time. The Digital Bible Platform – the world's largest platform of digital Bible audio, text and video – is now open free of charge to ministry partners and approved developers seeking to join FCBH in their Great Commission work around the world. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130408/DC90524LOGO) The access is provided through a Web API (Application Programming Interface), which allows integration of the content from the Digital Bible Platform into apps, websites and other software. A very simple format for developers to work with and implement, the API system is already used by Faith Comes By Hearing for online listening, in their iTunes store, and within their entire family of Bible.is apps. Very much a core value in all their work, Faith Comes By Hearing realizes that partnerships are the only way to truly reach the world with the Gospel. In this newest instance, FCBH is providing access to the content (recorded Scripture in over 700 languages), and others will find creative and inventive ways to reach people from every corner of the earth in their own language. "In the time of Christ and the Apostles, the Gospel message went from town to town by using the road system built by the Roman Empire," explains Troy Carl, FCBH vice president and architect of the Digital Bible Platform. "Today, that Roman road is technology." "The primary key to Scripture advancement in today's world is making technology and content available to the most creative minds in the world," continues Carl. "Our hope is that the best and brightest developers from around the globe will use this access to provide God's Word in a way that is culturally significant and relevant to their communities."

Two Men Charged with Poaching Trophy Mule Deer in Wyoming
A report of possible poaching activity southeast of Pinedale Nov. 16 led to a high speed chase, a roll-over accident and two Salt Lake City men being charged for taking a trophy mule deer out of season.
Mid-morning Nov. 16, a concerned citizen reported suspicious behavior near the old town site of Big Sandy to Game Warden John Hyde. The citizen helped Hyde search the area on foot, and they found a mule deer carcass sporting a 5-by-5, 28-inch-wide antler rack laying behind a large rock.
Hyde put the scene under surveillance. At approximately 5 p.m. a pick-up truck arrived and dropped off an adult male. After the truck departed, Hyde notified Pinedale Game Warden Brian Nesvik and reported the man walked to the area of the deer before fleeing on foot after possibly being detected.
A few minutes later the truck returned to the scene. Hyde approached in his truck and told the occupants to pull off the road and exit the vehicle. The driver pulled to the side of the road and then fled at a high rate of speed. Hyde, the Lovell District game warden who was working the area for winter range mule deer surveillance, pursued the suspects westbound on the Eastfork-Big Sandy Road. With Nesvik close behind, the suspects reached speeds upward of 50 miles per hour on the winding gravel road and lost the flat bed trailer they were towing. Approximately 1 mile later, the suspects lost control of their vehicle at a corner and rolled several times. The game wardens said it was amazing the two were able to walk away from the accident with only minor cuts and scrapes. The men received treatment at the scene and refused to be transported to the hospital.
Nesvik obtained the cell phone number of the man originally dropped off near the deer carcass. The officer sent him a text message that his truck had been wrecked and to walk to the county road. The suspect complied by walking out to the county road near a residence.
With the help of the Sublette County Sheriff's Office, the men, who had been working as subcontractors on commercial construction projects in the Pinedale and Lander area, were interviewed, arrested and transported to the Sublette County Jail at approximately 8 p.m.
Gregory L. Carter, 48, was charged with taking an antlered mule deer out of season, shooting from a vehicle and trespassing. Jeremy S. Zumwalt, 30, who was driving the pick-up, was charged as an accessory to the crime and interference with a peace officer. The officers suspect a .22-250 caliber rifle, a caliber not authorized for big game hunting in Wyoming, was used in the crime. The passenger of the vehicle was not charged.
Carter and Zumwalt were released from jail the evening of Nov. 18 after posting bond. Both suspects are scheduled to appear for arraignment on Dec. 13 in the Sublette County Circuit Court in Pinedale. The officers remind readers that all suspects are presumed innocent until convicted in a court of law.
Anyone with information about a wildlife violation is encouraged to call the Stop Poaching Hotline at (877) WGFD-TIP. Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward if the information leads to a conviction. (contact: Brian Nesvik (307) 360-7436 or 367-2470 or Jeff Obrecht (307) 777-4532)

It is split into two parts, Eixample Esquerra (Left, or in Spanish, Izquierdo) and Eixample Dret (Right, or in Spanish, Derecho), both of which are home to some fantastic restaurants and stores.Eixample Izquierdo is delimited by the grand, Passeig de Gràcia, a paradise for shopping and dining, and Plaça d´Espanya, where the Montjuïc Magic Fountain and one of the biggest convention centres in Barcelona can be found.

How do governments harvest the greatest value from open data?
That's the predominant question posed by the civic tech community as officials, entrepreneurs and nonprofits pioneer the movement's next chapter. Those familiar with open data know what started as an initiative for transparency has quickly evolved into a quest to leverage apps and analytics to enhance decision-making, services and citizen engagement. Success stories on these fronts are many. Civic hackers have created apps to plan bus routes, boost participation in politics, map emergency resources and even to track school buses for parents.
"What we see today is that the real innovation is not necessarily coming from hackathons, but now it's about working with companies or entrepreneurs to solve problems," he said.
"When thinking about biggest impacts, it's clear that open data sites, per se, are not the place where most people will end up going," May said. "It's more the APIs that we provide — Junar, Socrata, etc., — that deliver this open data to citizens through apps."
There are many ways to quantify the next wave of open data: what they'll be, how they'll be used and the various sources supplying them. However, Safouen Rabah, Socrata's vice president of products and services, envisions next-gen open data selection to be a highly singular process for every jurisdiction.
"The most important mind shift that government leaders can make is to stop thinking about open data as a project they do on the side and start thinking about how they can use data strategically to solve the problems they — and their constituents — care about," he said.
For this to happen, city leaders need to stop thinking of data as a byproduct of services, and instead view it as a public utility or a commodity that drives government services. This might mean ensuring every city or department data source is fitted with its own API to channel their select datasets, just like a diverting valve might redirect water. This, Rabah said, applies both to private internal data and public data.
"When you talk to cities that are 'state of the art' — or cities that really want to engage in innovation — our answer and their proposition is to bring in real-time data," May said.
Real-time data apps, equipped with an API, can push data immediately to users, compared to the slower, less dynamic approaches used by most governments. Past examples are parking, permitting and performance analytics. Another value driver: open data that can be mapped and visualized. Mapping and GIS data, according to May, can provide a visual narrative to interpret open data and make it more desirable.

~ The Pass ~ pg 2
Perhaps it wasn't fair, avoiding them both, but Fiora didn't know what else she could do. Not with her stomach turning in knots every time she saw either of them. Alex stirred her fear. Fear of the unknown, of the unexpected… of the possibilities that could change everything she had ever expected in her life. Civyl brought on her guilt. Guilt for allowing herself to love another man so much… but why should she feel guilty? She didn't ask for these feelings, they just grew and grew and overwhelmed her heart. Perhaps it was guilt for not making a concerted effort to stop it from happening… or perhaps it was from entertaining those possibilities and considering what if… There were multiple doors open to her. Which one should she step through? She didn't want to make that decision. Not now. In truth, not ever. As long as she avoided them, she could also avoid making a choice.
She kept herself busy, helping Nivia mostly with making sure all of her herbs were dry and packaged correctly before they headed out again. She also spent some time thoroughly drying everyone's cloaks with the wind, and their boots, and trousers, and tunics. When she ran out of things to dry, she excused herself to change back into her riding clothes and take care of other private needs. She queried the wind and was delighted when it returned a report of a branch of the mountain brook, turned waterfall by the heights. The water was so cold, icicles hung from some of the rocks, but the tumbling water was too much a temptation to pass up. Out of the nightdress and under the showering falls Fiora yelped at the frigid waters. She scrubbed ferociously fast and jumped back out so the wind could dry her.
It stood before her again in bodily form; just a cloud of a person. The corner of its mouth was turned up in a smile… a smile of complete acceptance, she had learned, and complete trust. When she didn't know what to do, she still knew she could trust the wind. When she didn't know who to choose, the wind would always be there for her.
The wind cocked its head sideways whispering a word up and down her arms. Choooosssssee…
Fiora blinked. Had the wind read her thoughts… or had she made an unconscious gesture of communication? In either case she was sure the wind had observed more than enough to know how torn she felt. "But I love them both," she whispered. "How can I choose?"
Choooosssee, the wind insisted again, wrapping warmth around her, though she did not know where it found warm air around here. Chooosssseeee wissssssssely.

Five Axis Lexus LS to be a SEMA Show Stopper
Last year, Lexus tuning partner Five Axis showed off what it could do with the then-all-new 2013 GS. This year, at the 2012 SEMA Show, Five Axis will continue its tradition of building exquisite models with an all-new 2013 Lexus LS.
The Japanese automaker didn't release any details with the teaser photo on its Facebook page, but given the track record for Five Axis, we expect a finely-built vehicle with attention to detail. The rendering reveals a custom body kit will be fitted onto the LS sedan, while Five:AD wheels will adorn each corner. The front end will clearly sport more aggressive, wider fenders and one can expect the front bumper to match the rest of the body lines.
AutoGuide will undoubtedly make a stop to the Lexus booth when the Five Axis LS is unveiled, so stay tuned for our 2012 SEMA Show coverage that kicks off next Tuesday, October 30th.

Supreme Court confirms legal advice privilege extends only to legal profession - .PDF file.
The Supreme Court has recently delivered an important decision on the question of whether legal advice privilege covers communications between a client and a non-lawyer. By a 5:2 majority, their Lordships held that the privilege extends only to advice given by members of the legal profession. Consequently, documents relating to a tax law advice given in this case by chartered accountants had to be disclosed to the UK tax authorities.
Where it applies, privilege protects a party from having to disclose its communications. There are two types of privilege: legal advice privilege and litigation privilege. The Prudential judgment is concerned with legal advice privilege alone.
Legal advice privilege protects all communications passing between a client and its lawyers in connection with the provision of legal advice except in very limited circumstances…

7. Scarlett Kidd - DistanceMature
Scarlett Kidd
I took my shoes off as I sat by the lake. It gave me an excuse so that I wouldn't have to touch him for as long. Anything to shorten the time.
I made a big deal of taking my shoes off, undoing the straps as slowly as possible. Then I dipped my feet into the lake. It was cold, but pleasantly so. The water was the only warm feeling I felt as he neared my face. I turned to face him and felt his lip graze mine. I would have moved away, but his powerful grip on my waist prevented that. Instead, I simply tremble at his brief touch.
His arms wrap around me and lift me onto his lap. With any normal couple, this would be cute or an advance in a relationship, but not here, not now. Here and now, it was just creepy.
I tried to pull away, to stay away from his demanding persona, but to no avail. He kissed me roughly and more forcefully than before. I couldn't get away - there was nowhere to go to. My only options were to struggle and anger him or to get on with it and pretend I like it to please him. He was holding onto me tighter as I struggled more. I realised it would be better for me if I didn't struggle. He was strong and his grip was beginning to hurt me.
As soon as I stopped struggling, he leant forward more, forcing me to lie on the bank of the lake. I didn't like where this was going. He leant over me completely now, pinning me to the ground.
All I could do was try not to struggle and hope I was safe.
