I am really happy, excited, thrilled because I have reached two milestones this week! They may not seem like much to some, but to me they are HUGE.
First, yesterday I finished painting the trim on our main floor. I began the long tiring journey of painting all our brown trim to white about six months ago. I went room to room with breaks in between. I finished the last room yesterday which was our main floor half bath. Can I just add that trying to squeeze behind the toilet in a tiny bath to paint trim isn't easy!
I shared my bathroom makeover HERE if you want to check it out.
Here it is with the original trim.
Now with the freshly painted white trim.
Milestone 1 complete
It feels soooo good to be done with all the trim on the main level. Now it's time to move on to the upstairs trim, ugh.
Milestone 2 makes me all warm and fuzzy.
This week I have reached the 200 followers mark!
I know it might seem small to some, but to me it means the world. When I began blogging I didn't even know if anyone would ever see or read this blog let alone follow it. I remember jumping up and down with excitement when I got my very first follower. I heart my followers and am grateful for every single one of them.
So there you have it, my milestones this week!
Have you reached any milestones lately? No matter how big or small I would love to hear about it so please feel free to leave me a comment.

Here is one method.
FromCoefficientList[poly_, var_] /; Head[var]=!=List :=
FromCoefficientList[poly, {var}]
FromCoefficientList[poly_, {var_}] := poly . var^(Range[Length[poly]]-1)
FromCoefficientList[poly_, {var1_, rest__}] := With[
{partial = Map[FromCoefficientList[#,rest]&,poly]},
FromCoefficientList[partial, var1]
SImple example:
In[9]:= poly = CoefficientList[1+2*x + y^2, {x,y}]
Out[9]= {{1, 0, 1}, {2, 0, 0}}
In[10]:= FromCoefficientList[poly, {z,w}]
Out[10]= 1 + w + 2 z
In our development version we have a built in function that will do
this, though it is experimental and not in the System context.
As you realize, CoefficientList generates the densest possible
structure. For many purposes this may not be what you want; in
particular, it can be a memory hog if either degree or number of
variables exceeds quite modest bounds. So one might prefer to work with
sparse representations. To this end, tentative functionality present in
version 4 includes
In[5]:= poly = Internal`NestedTermsList[1+2*x + y^2, {x,y}]
Out[5]= {{1, {{0, 2}}}, {0, {{2, 1}, {0, 1}}}}
In[6]:= Internal`FromNestedTermsList[poly, {z,w}]
Out[6]= 1 + w + 2 z
One can also obtain a sparse, distributed (rather than recursive)
representation. In this case the variables are stored as part of the
data structure and hence cannot be altered. Of course they might be
changed after the fact by replacement.
In[9]:= poly2 = Internal`DistributedTermsList[1+2*x + y^2, {x,y}]
Out[9]= {{{{1, 0}, 2}, {{0, 2}, 1}, {{0, 0}, 1}}, {x, y}}
In[10]:= Internal`FromDistributedTermsList[poly2]
Out[10]= 1 + 2 x + y

Lemoni Sleeps 6 (3 Bedrooms)
Sleeps 6. 3 bedroom villa.
The great advantage of the villa is the position. From here you overlook the whole area of Trapezaki. The villa offers plenty of space and comfort inside and out. The position of the villa is south facing so you benefit from the maximum hours of sunshine from the time it rises from behind the mountain until the late evening when you can enjoy the wonderful sunsets. The bedrooms on the first floor enjoy their own balconies, and all of the bedrooms have their own ensuite bathroom. The gardens that surround the villa are filled with colour and you will be fascinated by the varies different species of butterflies and moths that come to feast. The villa is a great base for anyone who drag themselves away from the view, to explore the island. Nowhere is to far away, and you have the advantage of the larger supermarkets being just a 10 minute drive away. On an evening you can enjoy BBQ, whether it the succulent meats from the local butcher or fresh fish from the local fishermen.
About the Owner
About Amanda Hopkins
I am English and first came to Kefalonia working for Thomson Holidays in 1999 met my husband that summer, who is from the island, and we had our big fat Greek wedding in 2005. We live on site and have 2 children, Katerina and Leo. We are on hand to answer any questions you may have and to guide you to be sure to get the best out of your holiday. Of course though, we are really in the background but its nice to know we are here if needed.
Amanda Hopkins purchased this villa in 1999
Why Amanda Hopkins chose Kefalonia (Cephalonia)
My husband and his brother, who are born and bred kefalonians, know the island very well and were looking for a plot of land to invest in with the idea of developing it for villas. when we all first saw the land here we knew it was perfect, the lay of land would mean every villa would have a perfect view not only out to sea but far more. views of what makes kefalonia special, the open lush countryside the backdrop of the impressive mountain range which is the island national park, and not far from anywhere either. meaning it offers the perfect spot for a holiday with easy access to everything, but the benefit of returning back to peace and quiet and stunning views.
What makes this villa unique
The views are fantastic are really do have the wow factor.

Activity and Interests
Special interest holidays:
There are locally available the opportunity to organise cookery lessons, whereby you can prepare the meal under the careful guidance of a local expert and then invite your friends to share the meal together.
Sea kayaking is available and can cater for all levels, along with mountain trekking.
Wine tasting tours are available at many of the local wineries of the island.
The beaches of Trapezaki are 2km from the villa, a 5 min drive or 20 min walk. The first beach is a lovely sandy cove with sunbeds and umbrellas available to hire and a beach bar (normally from June - September)The second beach leading off from the taverna is again a sandy cove from which you can walk onto 3 further secluded beaches. The beaches are great for all, the water is crystal clear and very gently shelves out, meaning it is perfect for small children. Ample room for parking too.
The villas are approx 10 km from the airport which will take approx 30 mins by car. Nearest ports are either Sami or Poros which both approx 45 mins from the villas.
Mousatta village is just 1km from the villas here you will find a local bakery. We are 10km from the capital Argostoli, where you will find each morning you can head down and see the freshly caught fish on sale direct from the boats along with the loggerhead turtles who follow the boats each morning into the harbour. Melissani Lake and Drogarati Cave are 20km. Myrtos Beach 30km.
Castle of St. George 5km.
Further Details:
The local mini market is just 5 mins walk from the villa, they have fresh bread and milk delivered daily and are very well stocked with you basic essentials. There are 2 local tavernas within the same distance, family run, one of which they grow their own veg and use local meats. The larger supermarkets on the island are just 10 mins away by car. The main banks are all in Argostoli where you will find at plenty of cash points. Locally you can enjoy renting a boat for the day so you can discover for yourselves some of the more isolated coves which you can only access from the sea.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
This one came to me first. Are you looking for other experts' opinions?
I don't know why it went out to everybody
I just sent it to you
do you have an answer?
Don't worry about it. It really wouldn't matter either way. If you put someone besides your wife in at 1%, that's 1% of the income that you won't have. I'd still go with the partnership approach, so you won't have to file as a C-Corp. Filing as a C-Corp means there will be corporate income tax, and the funds beyond your salary that are taken as distributions will be taxed as dividends. This is not the case with a partnership.
But would the IRS and creditors disregard it if my wife was the partner?
No, they would not.
But, an LLC would be considered a C-Corp unless you elect to have it treated as an S-Corp. Either way, you'll have more issues doing this than if you form an LLP.
Please read that those last two sentences you just wrote.
How would an LLC be treated like an S-corp?
Remember, my existing S-corp is an insurance agency and is separate.
Forming an LLC with more than one member makes it a corporation. Every corporation is a C-Corp unless you elect to be treated as an S-Corp.
Do you have any more questions about an LLC?
you there?
I'm back now. Just finished eating with my daughter in my lap.
Do you have any other questions?
If the LLC elected to be taxed as an S-Corp will it be subject to the dissolving provision if it derives more than 25% of its income from rents (passive income)?
You're right. I was talking about general tax issues. Sounds like you need to treat the LLC like a partnership. Thanks again, Bill.

It fits like a glove but it didn't work for me as the second video connection was right next to each other with no room for both connectors.

This item is still running strong after 411 days of use, 3 moves, 2 computers and a lot of unplugging and re-plugging the next day.I use this item for my office monitor. The one complaint I have about this item is it bulkiness of the adapter. While I do understand why it must be this big, it causes me to lose a USB port on my laptop. Good thing I have four USB ports on the monitor!!I have experienced ZERO shorts or complications with the adapter itself.

Many of you probably don't understand how digital signal encoding actually works, so I'll just say this: perfect video quality, and passes audio through as well. Everything clips together perfectly, is sturdy, good quality, etc. No complaints!

The Fresh Egg blog
Latest digital marketing news
This week's Digital Marketing News Round Up sees a lot of items pertaining to Google and its various tools as well as new features in Bing Webmaster Tools.
Let the news commence!
On 26 April last month, Bing announced the launch of both malware re-evaluation and geotargeting tools in Bing Webmaster Tools. This is great as far as SEO is concerned as it gives more control to webmasters. This will allow them to more easily maintain a healthy website as well as target location-specific users on a far more granular level than was previously possible.
The malware evaluation tool helps discern whether or not your site contains malware, while also allowing you to submit and track malware re-evaluation requests. If Bing detects a site is serving malware or other harmful elements (unwillingly or otherwise), it warns users that visiting said site could be dangerous while also sending a malware alert message to the site's webmaster. Expanding on the information previously available in the crawl information tool, the malware tool provides further information on the nature of the issue as well as allowing webmasters to submit and track a malware re-evaluation request once this has (hopefully) been fixed.
Geotargeting allows you to provide Bing with information about the intended audience for a site, or a specific section of that site, by defining these with a specific country affinity within a single view and account. Sites can also be geotargeted on multiple additional levels:
As a note, the order of preference for when multiple geotargeting rules apply is given by Bing is as follows: page > folder > subdomain > domain.
You can monitor how many of your website visitors are converting – and against which goals – in real-time. According to the Google Analytics blog, this feature can be used to track live performance data on newsletters, ad campaigns or even TV commercials.
Although the first launch is currently limited to URL-based goals exclusively (meaning that computed goals such as time on site or pages/visit are not yet included), the post by Google Analytics products manager Linus Chou certainly seems to suggest that these features are almost certainly going to make an appearance in the future.
You can read the entire announcement post here.
Matt Cutts is clearly frustrated with the large number of SEOs who seem to be reacting to Google patenting news and updates as if they were "golden truths".
In his latest video about SEO misconceptions, Cutts said: "just because Google has a search quality or ranking patent, it does not mean that the patent was or is currently part of the algorithm."
Is Matt Cutts dismissing the significance of Google's patents all a cunning ruse? What do you think?
New sitelinks for local pages are appearing in Google SERPs, putting increasing pressure on brands to ensure they have dedicated landing pages on their site for each of the locations they operate from.
With this in mind, here are a few tips for making location pages appear as sitelinks in SERPs from Blumenthals.com:

2013 was most certainly one of the most favorable years in Mercedes-Benz India's history. With a never ending and rather welcome onslaught of new vehicle launches and customer-oriented services alike, Mercedes-Benz managed to sell 9003 in 2013. As we reported a few months ago here, Mercedes-Benz India had promised to bring its entire range of AMG powered vehicles to India by the end of 2014. With the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG having been launched just over a month ago, Mercedes-Benz India will now launch its highly anticipated CLA45 AMG at the 2014 Indian Auto Expo.
The Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG will come with a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine that produces 365PS of max power and 450Nm of peak torque. The CLA45 will come standard with Mercedes-Benz's 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system and the new 7G-Tronic 'SPEEDSHIFT' dual-clutch gearbox.
The Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG differentiates itself from the regular run of the mill CLA-Class which will be launched in India later this year with more distinctive and sportier styling cues. The 'twin-blade' grille in matte grey combined with the large front splitter, side air-cooling ducts and large air intakes combined with the 'Turbo AMG' badges on the front quarter panels make sure the CLA45 AMG looks more aggressive than its non-AMG brethren. AMG's signature trapezoidal exhaust system with four outlets makes sounds that would put the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra to shame.
Commenting on the foreseeable launch of the Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG, Eberhard Kern, Managing Director and CEO, Mercedes-Benz India said, "We are very excited about our product and brand showcase for the 12th Auto Expo as we are going to unveil some of the most awaited cars for the Indian market."
Mercedes-Benz will also extend its lineup of 'Guard' cars (bulletproof) with the new M-Guard being unveiled at the 2014 Indian Auto Expo. The biggest attraction though, in terms of Indian relevance will be the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class concept car. The GLA is Mercedes-Benz's rival to the Audi Q3 and the BMW X1 and is extremely important for a SUV crazy country like India. Mercedes-Benz will also have on display the 2013 Mercedes-Benz AMG Petronas Formula 1 car driven by Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton.

[U.S. SOCCER] Wilmer Cabrera, the U.S. U-17 boys national team coach since 2007, and the U.S. Soccer Federation mutually agreed to part ways,
the USSF announced. The move means that every U.S. national team on the male side has had a head coach change within the last year.
The departure of Cabrera, whose contract expired in December 2011, comes just one month after his new cycle of U-17s' impressive performance at the Nike International Friendlies, at which they beat Brazil (3-1) and Turkey (2-1) and tied France (2-2).
Cabrera, a veteran of the Colombian national team who moved to the USA in 2003, replaced John Hackworth at the helm of U-17s and the Bradenton Residency Program after the 2007 U-17 World Cup. Under Cabrera, the USA continued its streak as the only country to qualify for every U-17 World Cup.
Cabrera guided the USA to the round of 16 in both the 2009 and 2011 U-17 World Cups. Its 4-0 loss to Germany at the tournament in Mexico last June marked the fifth straight time it failed to clear the first hurdle of the knockout stage. (Only in 1999, when Coach John Ellinger's team, with Landon Donovan, DaMarcus Beasley and Oguchi Onyewu, finished fourth have the U-17s posted a second-round win in their 14 world championship appearances.)
Among the players who played for Cabrera at the U-17 World Cups were Juan Agudelo (New York Red Bulls), Luis Gil (Real Salt Lake), Perry Kitchen (D.C. United) and Jack McInerney (Philadelphia Union), in 2009, and, in 2011, Jack McBean (Los Angeles Galaxy) and Marc Pelosi, who signed with Liverpool in November.
Both of Cabrera's predecessors moved into MLS coaching positions. John Ellinger left the U-17s to become head coach of Real Salt Lake and is currently assistant coach at FC Dallas. Hackworth stepped into an assistant coaching position with the Philadelphia Union.
"After several discussions with Wilmer, we agreed that parting ways at this time was the best way forward," said U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati. "We appreciate Wilmer's contributions to U.S. Soccer during the past four years with the under-17 men's national team. We wish him all the best in the future."
Cabrera will coach the team through January, including a trip to Turkey.
"I've enjoyed my time with the U-17s, but my journey with U.S. Soccer will be coming to an end," said Cabrera. "I am looking forward to the next stage of my coaching career."
Cabrera's exit follows appointments of new coaches for each male U.S. national team within the last year. Jurgen Klinsmann replaced Bob Bradley as full national team coach. Caleb Porter was named U-23/Olympic team coach. Tab Ramos replaced Thomas Rongen at the U-20s' helm.
At the U-18 level, Richie Williams replaced Mike Matkovich. The U.S. Soccer Development Academy's director of scouting, Tony Lepore, will coach the U-15s, of whom Princeton coach Jim Barlow had been in charge. Manny Schellscheidt was removed as head of the U-14 national identification program, which will now be handled by the U.S. Soccer Development Academy's technical advisers.

Titanic! (Penguin Readers, Level 3)
by Paul Shipton
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Titanic is famous for its movie.
I like the love story in it so I took this book.
And the book tells us more facts about Titanic.
Some questions in the last page like'After so many years,why are people still interested in the Titanic?''What is so special about the Titanic?' are very interesting.
I want to watch the movie once again!
Then I will be able to enjoy it more.
This book tells us a lot of facts about the famous ship,Titanic.There are many pictures and graphs so it was easy to understand. It is a really interesting book.
The story of a beautiful and romantic talk about two people and lived like some beautiful love story, but in the end is the death of one of them in the sea.
As you can see, this is the story about the ship "Titanic".
It is very famous for movie.
Many people were movied after watching it.
This is also real love story.
James Cameron,the movie director, says that the love story between Rose Dewitt, the heroine, and Jack Danson was the most important part of the movie.
I agree with his opinion because by escribing sad distiny between them we can understand the meaning of this story.
I love this story.
Do you know the ship of 'titanic'? I think that you must have watched the movie of it before. Its movie directer was James Cameron. He thought that he want to record the real 'titanic'. As the movie of 'titanic' was very real! instead of the love story. The love story is that a man of Jack and a woman of Rose were falled in love.
But the ship sank to deep ocean... They fought to say good bye each other. You will know what was happening in the ship if you read this book. And you will know the real about 'titanic'.
When I finifshed reading this book , I felt so sad. I think that the reality of the world is cluelity.

Gomez camp threatens pullout!
Less than 24 hours before the WBC heavyweight championship between titlist Vitali Klitschko and no. 1 contender Juan Carlos Gomez the show may be called off because the ring is too small. At a measurement Friday night the ring was almost 4 feet shorter than the minimum allowed by the WBC rules for championship bouts. ARENA-CEO Ahmet Öner: "This is ridiculous! I really don't understand how a promoter can be so arrogant and ignorant not to follow the rules and build a ring that is almost 4 feet too small. We are not talking about a few inches here!"
"In fight week we have been confronted with all kinds of provocation and unprofessional behaviour by the Klitschko management – for instance they still refuse credentials for my closest office staff and parts of Gomez' team – but that caps it all! Team Klitschko is either very stupid or very nervous. I have no other explanations for their mistakes. They have been talking a lot about using the smallest possible ring but obviously never even checked the rules. It is nothing but embarrassing – after all we are not talking about a small fight just for fun. This is a world title fight. The world is watching and the Klitschkos have nothing to do but to humiliate themselves."
After the ARENA team informed the Klitschko management and K2 promotions about the problem the ropes were rearranged. Still the problem is not solved. Öner: "Now the space between the ropes and the canvas is only 12 inches instead of 36 inches (as stipulated in the WBC rules)! This is extremely risky and dangerous. If a fighter stands against the ropes he might easily slip and fall. In the worst case one of the guys could break his legs. And we do not want this to happen to either Vitali or Juan. So we will not allow our fighter to step into this ring!"
How can things be solved? Öner: "Well, team Klitschko still got enough time to sort things out and set up a new ring. I hope they are working on this already. We will measure again tomorrow morning and hope that the fight can still go on. Juan is ready to go – and he doesn't care about the ring size. He said he would even outbox Vitali in a phone booth. But the rules are the rules. We will not disrespect the WBC and we will not allow the Klitschko management to do so."

Of the various information system elements, do you believe that technology or people are more important?

I'd say knowing how to use the technology is much more important than being a people person. As an admin you must produce work using various forms of technology/office machines. You must know Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook etc. You should know how to clear a paper jam from the copy machine, scan and fax documents etc. Those kinds of skills are highly valued.
At the same time you must be easy to work with, helpful and friendly.

Mounting garmin gps in a 14'
I use my nav every day, and while the stock system is adequate it is nowhere near what my portable garmin is. Some companies have mounts for the 13' nothing for the 14'. So has anyone come up with a good place to put a portable gps?
I had it on the windshield on my old car, but tinted the windshield on the GC so no more suction mounts, and would rather not have it sit on my dash.
Any ideas?
Would you maybe have details of the ones that are available for the 2013 model?
Re: Mounting garmin gps in a 14'
Sure, there's a couple different companies that make them.
PanaVise Products, Inc.
Jeep*Grand Cherokee*2013*Dashboard Mounts*-*ProClip USA
Thats all I've found so far.
Re: Mounting garmin gps in a 14'
Re: Mounting garmin gps in a 14'
Yes, air vent mounts are universal. And having a GPS down on the console wouldn't be that great, would be ok for a phone mount.
Re: Mounting garmin gps in a 14'
No windshield, no dash, no console, what's left? :)
Re: Mounting garmin gps in a 14'
Re: Mounting garmin gps in a 14'
I purchased the vent mount from proclip, while it is ok for my phone, it sits to far away from the dash and blocking the one vent is not all that great. I will use the proclip until I either figure another way to mount (without making changes to the dash in any way) or just give up the access to my phone all together and have it sit inside the cubby whole in the bottom middle section of the dash. making phone calls from the 8.4 works great I mainly use the access to the phone to view emails and decide if it warrants me to pull over to answer (work relies on me to be available 24/7)
Was thinking mounted on top of the rear view mirror, I already have my valentine one mounted below my mirror. Just not a lot of room above the mirror. Possibly to the left of the mirror, but would have to make a custom bracket to go under the headliner :( looking for something easier.

I use one of these in my wifes car. You lose use of one of your cupholders. I like it because I can remove it and hide it when I park the car to avoid someone breaking in.

rude manager at my job
I've been lurking for a while and finally decided to register and post, mostly to vent right now...
I've been transitioning for about 6 months so I still have some relaxed ends. I'd wear bantu knot outs and braidouts to work and they looked great.
So I thought...
So one day one of the assistant managers comes up to me and says "girl your hair looks a mess!" and I told her it's probably just frizzy and told her I was transitioning. Then she goes on and starts telling me I need to "blow dry it, put a comb through it and a flat iron" and I tried to explain to her that its bad for your hair and that's what I'm trying to get away from now, and she was just incredibly rude about it. Now every day she has something to say about my hair. I'm about to BC in a few minutes and if she says something about it when I come in tomorrow morning I just might come home without a job. ugh.
Omigosh, Georgia Peach, that's awful! :disgust:
Please don't even dignify your graceless co-worker's commentary with a response. If she has something to say to you that pertains to your work, it's perfectly fine to speak with her. Otherwise, just tune her out, because the fact of the matter is that she's being inappropriate with her comments.
If you stop responding to her, one of two things will happen: (1) her words will just keep falling on deaf ears, or (2) she'll realize that her words are meaningless to you and eventually she'll stop wasting her breath :happy4: If she really drives you to madness, a very simple, to-the-point response like "My body is nobody's business but my own" might shut her up and remind her of how unprofessional her behavior is.
Dont waste your time explaining or justifying yourself to someone who is clearly ignorant. Part of going natural is that you have to develop thick skin and decide you dont give a $:@/ what people think because It is your God given hair and you love it. We call transition more of a mental than physical process because you have to develop a new sense of what is beautiful. Your manager is still in the old mentality.
You are probably going to hear a lot more negative comments from people maybe even family members so you have to decide how you will handle it. My aunt told me yesterday I need to comb my hair. Whatevs especially since She was wearing a tacky wig.
If you need to vent come on here and rant. stay employed.
I can't add to much to the fine responses you received above, but I just wanted to say when you do complete your tranition you will be SO POWERFUL. I know it, keep it up. And pity your manager, she is without knowledge when it comes to hair.
Keep taking little steps toward your goal. Stay on this board. So much info is here.
Keep us posted.
Too bad she's being such a witch! The other posters are right... stick to your goal and forget her!
I've been natural for about 12 years but always had a short barber cut. I decided to let it grow out (it's been 6 months now). I've gotten some interesting looks, especially from one of "us" at work. I WISH someone would make a nasty comment to my face, especially that one with her fake ponytail and shlumpy clothes!
Keep the faith and don't let anyone slow your roll! Come back and let us know how things are going.
Georgiapeach, is your hairstyle in violation of your company's dress code or appearance policy? If so, that assistant manager needs to address it with you formally as an HR issue. If it's not, then YOU need to talk to your HR manager, because that is harrassment. If your company doesn't have an HR department, talk to the assistant manager's boss and tell that person what is going on and that you want it to stop.
So sorry this is happening to you...it is NEVER okay to remark on an employee's personal appearance if there is no violation of company policy.
:mad:+1 to all of the above posters, I was open mouthed reading this, how incredibly rude of your manager to comment in this way georgiapeach. Hold your head high, you've got lots of support here!:thumright:
To all the wonderful answers above all I can say is ditto!
You will feel so free and strong and will look so great when you are done! If this rude woman says anything else to you about your hair, just give her the hairy eyeball, turn, and walk away. She's not worth a second of your time.
I second what MotorCurl says. This mgr's comments border on harassment - sexual or otherwise. It's not ok to make verbal derogatory comments on a person's physical appearance, and your choices about how you wear your hair are as personal as your religious or sexual orientation preferences. If she made comments about your sexual orientation, you wouldn't think twice about reporting her to HR, I hope, so ongoing derogatory remarks about your physical appearance that make you feel bad should be regarded in the same manner.
If the comments make you feel bad, they should be reported. What I would do (and have done in a similar situation) is, ask the person (politely) to stop making the comments, explaining that I do not appreciate them and that they actually make me feel bad, explaining it in the context that just as I do not make observations of a personal nature about anyone else in the workplace, because that is unprofessional and against the company's policy's on harassment, I expect the same courtesy.
After that, the very next time a comment comes my way from that person, I'd report it to HR.
Sorry you have to deal with that. I hate people like that. It's so rude and unnecessary.

Microsoft Select Agreements Due For Renewal? Convert Them To Select Plus
Posted by Duncan Jones on March 19, 2010
- 680 Recommendations
- 2 comments
Microsoft announced on Friday that it will stop selling new Select licenses from 1 July, 2011. Customers with existing agreements can renew them for another 36 months, as per their agreements, but the replacement Select Plus program is likely to be a better option. Microsoft launched Select Plus on 1 July 2008, and I wrote at the time that it was an improvement on the basic Select structure: Microsoft Simplifies Its Volume Licensing.
However, Microsoft's pricing team struggled to persuade its LARs to promote Select Plus over the more familiar Select agreement, and customer adoption was disappointing. So the decision to drop the older program makes sense for Microsoft, because it will force its channel partners to embrace the new model. And its no bad thing for buyers - you've one less choice to make, and there's little negative impact.
The biggest advantage of Select Plus for sourcing managers is that they no longer need to submit a three-year spending forecast - this is extremely difficult for central teams buying on behalf of autonomous business units that won't havent planned Microsoft technology adoption that far out. Instead, pricing works like an airline loyalty program, on the current and previous years' actual transactions, as the figure below from my report illustrates. My report explains some more advantages, such as the flexibility to opt tactically for software assurance on individual purchases.
Anyone with a Select agreement expiring in the next three months should seriously consider upgrading it to Select Plus. You can still renew the Select, but it probably makes sense to switch now. Those with Select agreements ending after June 2010 have longer to make the decision, but can upgrade earlier if they want to. That might make sense if you're not going to achieve your current forecast, or have multiple contracts that you'd like to aggregate into one.
Select Plus Price Tier Is Based On Historic Actual Volumes

Rush to or from Select Plus?
Comment from Cynthia Farren (not verified) on Fri, 09/24/2010 - 15:04
Very strong endorsement of Select Plus in this article but it definitely seems to overlook some of the drawbacks to the Select Plus.
First, managing Software Assurance benefits expirations will be challenging for IT asset managers. Instead of all SA benefits expiring on the same date they will instead all expire 3 years from date of purchase - makes renewals a constant job rather than a once every three years job.
Additionally, purchasing discounts set by forecast rather than historical purchasing. Under Select if you know you will have significant purchases over time you can benefit from those on all of your purchases from day one. Under Select Plus, you need to have your significant purchases be your initial purchases or you will pay more on your initial purchases (once you hit the higher level future purchases will be discounted and you can attempt to go back and re-adjust for earlier purchases but only time will tell if that ever actually happens).
There's a reason Select Plus hasn't gained traction in the years since it was introduced...procurement specialists might want to make sure they get into Select before the expiration instead of the other way around (obviously dependent upon their own organizational needs).
Select plus drawbacks
Comment from Duncan Jones on Mon, 09/27/2010 - 03:28
Thanks for your comments Cynthia. I know the non-contemporaneous renewal issue has deterred LARs from pushing Select Plus, but it doesnt really affect customers that much, compared with the advantages. Having a common end date is a disaster if it just precedes the next release (e.g. April 2010 with Office 2010 coming out in May). The renew/ dont renew decision is a systemic one that you make, and revisit only periodically. So right now you might tell your LAR "don't renew SA on Office until further notice". Then when you see the next version is sufficiently close and you know you'll want to upgrade to it, you can change that to "renew, until further notice". Its more work for the LAR, but not for the customer. Plus both parties save the need to renew the contracts every 3 years.
I disagree with you about your forecast versus historical point. You have to buy 1/3 of your forecast in year 1 anyway, under Select, so its really no different. Under select plus you merely have to aggregate the transactions into one initial purchase, but you end up with the same spend over the year.
There may well be some companies for whom Select is better, but they'll be the minority.

CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico, March 31, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- When visiting warm weather destinations after a long winter, it can be tempting to spend long hours lounging in the sun. Although it may feel great, the end result may not. Globe Quest Vacation Club recommends that travelers ease themselves into sun exposure so as not to get burned or suffer from heat exhaustion. This luxury vacation provider is offering up some helpful tips for when travelers are vacationing and playing in the sun.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140331/MN92898)
Avoid that bright red color and painful burn by applying sunscreen regularly, especially if playing in the water. Most will still allow for a little bit of color, depending on the SPF power. Being mindful of the time spent in the sun and balancing exposure and shade is also a good idea.
Too much sun exposure, or time in the heat, can deplete the body's natural hydration. This can lead to health issues that range from simply annoying to quite serious. GlobeQuest Vacation Club knows that playing in the sun can be as draining as it is fun. This luxury vacation provider encourages members to drink plenty of water, avoid excess alcohol and even cut down on salty foods, which sometimes can also dehydrate people.
Sunglasses are a must, even on overcast days. If spending time near or on the water, the glare is likely to cause some unpleasant issues such as migraines, eye pain and seeing spots. For those enjoying water sports and fishing, vacationers may want to invest in polarized lenses, which help cut down the water glare.
Hot pavement and hot sand can really do a number on travelers' feet. Globe Quest Vacation Club recommends at least having flip flops on hand but suggests wearing water sandals if playing in the water, particularly if snorkeling, to avoid scraping skin on coral.
Sometimes the outside temperature makes swimming in lakes, rivers and oceans tempting. Unless vacationers are visiting a destination that has warm weather and warm water temps the majority of the year, those waters may still be extremely cold. Hypothermia and loss of breath can occur quickly in cold waters. Be especially mindful of young children around water.
Globe Quest Vacation Club wants travelers to enjoy their vacations and be safe and healthy. To book the getaway of a lifetime today, contact GlobeQuest Vacation Club today.

Learn about the Blue Waters Student Internship Program, providing undergraduate students with research experiences to prepare and motivate them for careers in petascale computing.
Apply for an internship at the NCSI website.
Preparation for petascale computing requires solid grounding in Computational Science and Engineering (CSE), HPC and HPC-related curricula. As a community, we must address the engagement of a larger and more diverse workforce to broaden participation and to ensure that CSE education keeps pace with the evolution of science and technology. We will leverage faculty expertise to establish best practices, identify and fill gaps, and modernize the CSE curriculum across all science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.
The NCSA Blue Waters petascale computing facility funded by NSF will support this effort by providing 1% of the computing capacity of its computational infrastructure in direct support of educational applications. The Blue Waters system will support sustained petaflop performance of scientific codes, and thereby provide a unique educational learning experience for students across the nation.
The Blue Waters education emphasis is intended to prepare the next generation of undergraduate and graduate students, the next generation of K-12 teachers, and an educated workforce. All undergraduate institutions are encouraged to participate including 2- and 4-year colleges and universities, minority serving institutions, EPSCoR institutions, women's colleges, and institutions addressing special needs students.
To achieve these goals, the Blue Waters Student Internship Program (BWSIP) is launching research experiences for undergraduate and graduate students to engage the national community.

Makes 1 (12-by-18-inch) tray or equivalent.
Make the Firecracker Pork:
In a large skillet, warm sesame oil over medium heat. Stir-fry the ginger until it starts to soften, about 1 minute.
Raise the heat to high. Dump in the ground pork, breaking it up into crumbly bits. As the pork cooks, stir in the chili garlic sauce and the hoisin sauce. Continue to cook, stirring and breaking up the pork. Add sesame seeds. The pork will give off juices as it cooks, then the juices will start to evaporate. Cook until the pork is fairly dry on the outer surface, so the chips don't get soggy. (The pork mixture can be fried as much as a day in advance; refrigerate if not using within an hour.)
Preheat oven to 475 degrees, or preheat broiler with rack positioned about 7 inches from the top of the oven or heat source.
Assemble nachos: Arrange tortilla chips on 12-by-18-inch baking sheet or ovenproof platter. Sprinkle on the cheese and then the pork mixture.
Bake nachos 4 to 6 minutes, or broil until cheese is bubbly. While nachos cook, toss cabbage with rice vinegar.
Serve nachos with green onion and the seasoned cabbage sprinkled on top.
Note: we recommend Lee Kum Kee Chili Garlic Sauce.

FYI, I had no luck at all getting the Arduino libraries linked above to work. I'm not sure if anyone else tried and had the same results. After a little digging, I found some modifications posted by another contributor in the project on Github that fix the problems. Basically, it looks to me like the author just didn't have a working version of this posted. I was attempting this with Arduino IDE version 1.0.1. Post here if you're interested and I'll explain further.

Washington (AP) - Michelle Obama is jumping into the midterm political fray in a big way.
The White House says the first lady will be making at least nine political appearances in six states next month at fundraisers for Democratic candidates.
That's a fairly big political investment for a first lady who's always said she's just not a political animal.
The first lady will be raising money and campaigning for candidates in
It's no surprise that the Democrats want to use the first lady's star power: Polls show she's more popular than her husband, President Barack Obama.

Identification, characterisation and specificity of a cell wall lytic enzyme from Lactobacillus fermentum BR11
Turner, Mark S., Hafner, Louise M., Walsh, Terence Patrick, & Giffard, Philip M. (2004) Identification, characterisation and specificity of a cell wall lytic enzyme from Lactobacillus fermentum BR11. FEMS Microbiology Letters, 238(1), pp. 9-15.
Screening of a genomic library with an antiserum raised against whole Lactobacillus fermentum BR11 cells identified a clone expressing an immunoreactive 37-kDa protein. Analysis of the 3010-bp DNA insert contained within the clone revealed four open reading frames (ORFs). One ORF encodes LysA, a 303 amino acid protein which has up to 35% identity with putative endolysins from prophages Lj928 and Lj965 from Lactobacillus johnsonii and Lp1 and Lp2 from Lactobacillus plantarum as well as with the endolysin of Lactobacillus gasseri bacteriophage Phiadh. The immunoreactive protein was shown to be encoded by a truncated ORF downstream of lysA which has similarity to glutamyl-tRNA synthetases. The N-terminus of LysA has sequence similarity with N-acetylmuramidase catalytic domains while the C-terminus has sequence similarity with putative cell envelope binding bacterial SH3b domains. C-terminal bacterial SH3b domains were identified in the majority of Lactobacillus bacteriophage endolysins. LysA was expressed in Escherichia coli and unusually was found to have a broad bacteriolytic activity range with activity against a number of different Lactobacillus species and against Lactococcus lactis, streptococci and Staphylococcus aureus. It was found that LysA is 2 and 8000 times more active against L. fermentum than L. lactis and Streptococcus pyogenes, respectively.

I get quite a few emails asking me about The London School in Bishkek. In case you were wondering, Bishkek is in Kyrgyzstan, and The London School in Bishkek is actually a fantastic little language school there – yes, a REAL place!
When I was first searching for things I could do in Kyrgyzstan, I got the idea that I wanted to try my hand at learning Russian because… well… it sounded fun. But, how do you find a language school in a crazy little place like K-stan? Luckily, I came across their website, which is pretty basic to say the least, and started searching for other places that validated its existence. At some point, I bit the bullet and registered for some courses before arriving, even though I still was a bit skeptical as to whether or not the place was legit.
Well, for those of you that have stumbled upon this post wondering the same thing, my official statement is this:
The London School in Bishkek is a great place, and it is an even better place to learn Russian!
When I was there in 2008, it cost a mere $4 for an hour of one-on-one lessons with a native speaker. I can't even imagine what it would be like for that kind of study here in Australia, but I'm guessing it would be in the $50+ range. The lessons were an absolute bargain, and even though I often found myself slamming my head on the desk in frustration, by the end of 3 months I was having real conversations and getting compliments on my accent.
About the School
The school is located on Sovietskaya just a minute walk past Ramstor. It doubles as an English language school for Kyrgyz locals (TEFL teachers, you can get a job here) and as a Kyrgyz and Russian language school for foreigners. The teachers at the beginner levels will know a bit of English, but they will definitely hit the ground running and bombard you with as much Russian as possible. The classrooms here are actually quite nice, and some of them are equipped with air conditioning, which is a godsend if there in the hot summer months.
On the main floor, you will find the office, some classrooms, as well as the canteen and library. I absolutely loved the canteen. There was one cook there who would prepare Kyrgyz/Russian specialties for lunch (for a fee), such as plov, borscht and lagman. You could also get your in between class coffee fixes by grabbing a cup of Nescafe for 3 som. This was always a great place to practice your newly-learned speaking skills.
If Nargiza is still with the school, you will be a very lucky person. Nargiza was in charge of pleasing the foreign students – making sure they liked their classes, teachers, accommodation, etc. She helped me with random requests more times than I can count; even when I broke down crying on the street in 44 degree Celsius heat she was there to find out what she could do to help. In two words: she rocks.
Where to Stay
There are plenty of different accommodation options to choose from during your time at the language school. My first choice was to just hang out in a guest house for the time being, but I soon realized the in-and-out nature of travelers was not conducive to study. There are now housing options at the school, which are not bad, and they are definitely conveniently located right in town and next to school. If that's not enough for you, the school (Nargiza especially) will hook you up with a host family.
Coming from experience, I can say that a host family provides a unique glimpse into the Kyrgyz culture. I am so thankful that I took the chance to do this. It may have been short-lived (7 weeks), but I feel like I understand so much more about this tiny little country than had I not. Also, considering you receive a private room and two meals a day, it was also a bargain.
The school also put together activities for the students, whether they were individual tours of local attractions, or school field trips to Ala-Archa and the likes. Again, for being such a closed-off former Soviet Republic, this language school really did understand what it meant to please the customer and provide the best possible experience it could.
Would I go back?
Yes, yes, yes, yes! I'm actually devising a way I can convince Patrick into joining me for some more lessons and a Central Asia excursion. I'm not sure if it will ever happen since I am stupidly living in one of the most expensive places ever – Sydney – and not able to save a dime. Somehow, some way!

The Go-Gos Sued By Former Bassist
Former Go-Go's bassist Kathy Valentine filed a lawsuit against her former bandmates. According to Valentine, the rest of the band is attempting to freeze her out of her share of the band's revenues.
Valentine owns a fifth of Ladyhead LLC and Smith-Pocket Industries. Those groups maintain the band's business issues. But, the remaining Go-Go's have created a new company called GoGoGo Corp. which they plan to use to handle new business.
Kathy Valentine was the Go-Go's bassist from 1981 to March of 2013. She was fired due to "irreconcilable differences." She co-wrote hits like Vacation and Head Over Heels.

New Delhi, Feb. 6: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today voiced concern over poor teaching standards in schools and learning outcomes that were "far below" expectations, continuing his criticism of India's education system a day after he highlighted flaws at the higher level.
Addressing the golden jubilee celebrations of the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS), Singh said the government had enacted the Right to Education Act, which ensures legal right to education for every child, and cited the midday meal scheme that had reduced dropout rates.
"But the standard of teachers and teaching is not up to the mark and learning outcomes are far below what we want them to be," he said, adding that dropout rates were still "high" after the elementary level.
"Some major concerns relating to equity also remain to be addressed," he said, referring to inclusion of every section.
The comments, that outlined the challenges ahead for schools, followed a day after he told a conference of vice-chancellors that higher education institutions were not keeping "abreast" of changes and producing graduates who were not employable.
Singh's views today came a few days after an NGO, Pratham, showed a declining trend in learning outcomes among children in its Annual Status of Education Report (ASER). The ASER study, conducted over the last seven years, found that in 2010, 46.3 per cent of all children in Standard V could not read a Standard II text. The percentage increased to 51.8 in 2011 and to 53.2 in 2012.
In 2010, of all children enrolled in Standard V, 29.1 per cent could not solve simple two-digit subtractions with borrowing. The percentage increased to 39 in 2011 and to 46.5 per cent in 2012.
Policymakers and educationists agreed with Singh's assessment. Junior HRD minister Shashi Tharoor said the problem of learning outcomes among children was because of the poor quality of teachers' education programmes. "There is great deficiency in teachers' training practices," Tharoor, who heads a panel to suggest ways to improve teacher training courses, told The Telegraph. "It is important to address the issue."
A Supreme Court-appointed panel headed by former Chief Justice J.S. Verma had also articulated the problem, he said. "In certain states, the Verma commission found that education offered by just 10 per cent of teachers' training colleges was satisfactory."
The Verma panel had recommended pre-entry testing of candidates for admission to teacher education programmes, increased investment in teacher education and audit of schools. The recommendations are under the consideration of the government.
A study by industry body CII found that teacher training institutions were not using technology. "We have suggested improvement of quality of teachers' education by use of technology and better… curriculum. There has to be clear-cut career progression for teachers so that talented people will come for teaching," said Sougata Roy Choudhury, director, school education, at the CII.
Madhulika Sen, the principal of Tagore International School in Delhi, said government institutions were not run properly. "You have 60 to 70 children in one class, there is no accountability on the part of teachers and teachers are often sent on election duty," she said. "How can you expect quality education?"
At the KVS event, the Prime Minister emphasised the need for "an educated and skilled workforce" that would help the economy "expand and become more productive".
Singh asked the Kendriya Vidyalayas to help set benchmarks for schools located in areas near them.

With the updated version of ITIL imminent (the 29 July 2011), I participated in a BrightTalk webinar on "what next for ITIL."
My views on this are very clear, that we need to "look back before we look forward." I touched on some of this in a previous blog, 2011: An ITIL Versioning Odyssey, but think it worthwhile to continue to articulate my views in this area.
Let's start with what I consider to be the biggest issue: the gulf between theory and practice with ITIL.
There is no doubt that ITIL can benefit I&O organizations. There are certainly many I&O organizations encouraging, or even forcing, their people to take ITIL training and qualifications: There are at least 1.5 million people with the certification and there is no sign of this slowing down. Not only are trainers busy, so are ITSM consultants and, of course, industry analysts. But, from an industry analyst perspective, there is a lot wrong with ITIL. This is not just how it ballooned in size from ITIL v2 to ITIL v3, but also how it is adopted in the real world.
So what's going wrong?
Posted by Stephen Mann on July 12, 2011
I recently spoke with a Forrester I&O client looking for "incident classification best practice." I knew that I should have had knowledge of this, or at least access to it, but all I had was a loose set of guiding principles that are probably more "common sense" rather than "best practice." I was happy to talk with the client but wanted to know what I had missed.
Google seemed a great place to start. After all, Googling "ITIL" results in 21 million hits (I do appreciate that not all of these will relate to the IT service management best practice framework though). So I Googled "incident classification best practice" (plus "incident categorization best practice") and was surprised at the results. Well, the LACK of results. There was no freely available advice or guidance on this subject.
The main reason for my surprise is that, with the wealth of IT service management best (or good) practice out there (especially with ITIL espoused as THE framework of IT service management best practice), this is one area where I definitely think that value could be derived by documenting successes and the pitfalls to avoid.
Given that many organizations adopting ITSM best practice, or ITIL, will start with the service desk and incident management, the creation of a robust incident classification hierarchy is something they will need to do. A similar opportunity also arises when organizations switch between competing ITSM products as part of the well-documented ITSM tool churn. For others it is relevant when the realization sinks in that the existing incident classification hierarchy is cumbersome and ineffective. Incident classification is important, so where is the best practice?

The first patients to be treated with Fraxel re:pair prototype in the clinical trials are now about 3 years out from their treatments. So the answer to your question is at least 3 years. From our experience in the past 18 years with traditional carbon dioxide lasers, it is thought that the current fractionated carbon dioxide Fraxel repair laser treatment will last from 8 to 10 years.
The results will vary from individual to individual, and also will be dependent upon the aggressiveness of the treatment. Although aging does continue, the patients should always look a few years younger than their actual age than they would have if they did not have the treatment. The treatment just tightens the skin and makes you look healthy and rested and younger. A nice aspect of the treatment is that it can be repeated as necessary over the years with additional benefits.
So ask me again in ten years for the definitive answer. For now it is at the forefront of non-invasive facial rejuvenation with fractionated CO2 lasers. You will be seeing and hearing about many new lasers in the next few years as laser companies follow Reliant and Lumenis into this leading edge technology.
Be well.

« Gospel Writer John Mark was Born in Libya »
Leonardo Was No 'Father of Cryptography,' But Is A Victim of A Coverup, as is a Hero of Early Christianity Who was Painted Out of "Last Supper," a Tennessee Writer Says
by ERIC BLAIR
Staff Writer
FEBRUARY 8, 2008 — A man who today would be considered a native of Libya is credited by a Tennessee writer with writing two of the four New Testament gospels (Mark and John), as well as 1 and 2 Peter, which were ghost written, and the book of the Revelation. Randall Carter Gray, a former resident of Ethiopia and Eritrea at the time of the deposing of Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie, "the Lion of Judah," in 1974, said the mystery writer is none other than John Mark, or St. Mark the evangelist, an apostle of Jesus — and, says Gray, a victim of having his identity obscured in Leonardo's "The Last Supper" over the centuries by heretics … because John Mark was black.
Gray, a former religion writer and editor for two daily newspapers in the South, said he decided to publicize his findings and his ongoing work further after stumbling onto an article by Michelle Delio, published in 2003 by WIRED, in which the freelance writer calls Leonardo "the father of cryptography." The 54-year-old Tennessee writer was working as an intelligence specialist and cryptographer for the U.S. Navy in Ethiopia when Selassie was deposed.
"I used to be a cryptographer," Gray said. "I know cryptographers. Cryptographers have been my friends. Leonardo was no cryptographer … but rather a victim of having his work ruined to hide racial identities and discredit Jesus."
Gray is writing a scholarly article on the subject plus a documentary script, the title of which is "The African Whom Jesus Loved," a reference to the third-person identifier "the disciple whom Jesus loved," which the writer of the Gospel of John uses to refer to himself.
Interestingly, Gray said Leonardo Da Vinci's "The Last Supper," the focal point for the novel and film "The Da Vinci Code," provided him with confirmation that he was on the right track toward solving the important biblical mystery, the solution of which he said is strongly suggestive of the notion that Jesus was a man of color. That conclusion for Gray came about shortly after the 2006 release of the blockbuster film based on author Dan Brown's novel. Gray's hypothesis, which he calls "The Moor's Code," was also confirmed, he added, by subsequent recent claims that there were other "code-like" features in Leonardo's disintegration masterpiece, such as those asserting that a mirror image of the 15th century painting reveals a woman holding a baby and that notes corresponding to the hands of Jesus and his disciples plays a tune.
"The new musical Da Vinci Code," said Gray, "helps to strengthen our claim that the coverup of John Mark is continuing, on racist grounds, and, that Leonardo's 'The Last Supper' was repainted and botched to remove the African scholar John Mark after the painting's patron, whose nickname was "the Moor" or "African," was deposed by the French in 1499." Gray, himself a painter, said the assertion that Leonardo used poor technique and experimental materials, which led to the chipping and cracking of the "dry-wall fresco" was "ludicrous."
The musical Da Vinci Code, called "bogus" and "disingenuous" by Gray, was introduced by an Italian researcher, Gray said, to hide a mystery hand holding a knife which isn't attached to an arm. He said the knife-gripping hand, of all clues, reveals that the Da Vinci Code is "fiction and more" — an ancient secret, which is John Mark's race, that Gray said "would turn Christianity upside down" if it was more widely known.
"Leonardo was a perfectionist," the writer contended, "with three years to complete the work (located on a cafeteria wall in the Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan), Leonardo would not have been hasty or predisposed to experimenting with new techniques and pigments. What apparently happened was in repainting the original painting, which we believe featured a dark-skinned Libyan (Cyrenian) John Mark as the youth named John reclining on Jesus breast, the fraudulent artists used a dry wall instead of a wet plaster surface, which is mandatory for frescoes."
Adding weight to Gray's claim that Leonardo's version of "The Last Supper" featured one or more African people, he explained, is the biblically based fact that the Passover meal Jesus shared with his disciples just before his arrest was held in an African home, one belonging to John Mark and his mother Mary, a woman of apparent wealth. Not only was the Passover meal held in the home of John Mark and his mother Mary, but so was the first appearance Jesus made to his disciples after his resurrection and so was the Day of Pentecost, "when the Holy Spirit descended on the disciples, causing them to speak in languages they did not know."
In biblical times Libya was known as Cyrene, a bustling seaport on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, located to the west of Egypt. Cyrene is the location from which the man hailed who was grabbed by Roman soldiers to help Jesus carry his cross. Gray posits the question why did the Roman soldiers pointedly grab Simon of Cyrene, an out-of-towner, whom John Mark knew, to help Jesus, if Jesus was not himself a "man of color."
Need more proof that Gray is on the right track? The writer ran down a list of other things wrong with Leonardo's version of the Passover meal, which he said leads to no other conclusion than the painting was repainted: sunshine through the window (Passover is observed at sundown); fish instead of the traditional lamb is being eaten, as are rolls instead of unleavened bread; Jesus' chalice is missing … and lastly what Gray said was the "holy grail" of all clues — the hand gripping a knife floating in midair behind the back of Judas, with no arm or person attached.
Gray said that the Mary Magdalene angle in "The Last Supper" is "simply part of the "subterfuge used through the centuries to draw attention away from John Mark's mother Mary," whom Gray said is the Mary who stands with her son John (Mark) at the cross of Jesus, when Jesus tells mother and son to" behold" one another, that is, lean on one another after Jesus' death, resurrection and ascension. This conclusion by Gray, if accurate, also proves that the Bible was tampered with and altered for the purpose of hiding John Mark as "the disciple whom Jesus loved," a young scholar and perhaps also a priest who was trained in Libya/Cyrene in Latin and classical Greek, as well as Hebrew.
Gray's sources for this new material are his notes made while studying in East Africa and Coptic Church biographical material written and published recently by the Church's patriarch in Alexandria, Egypt. According to Gray, John Mark has been "unfairly ignored as a hero of early Christianity," demonstrated by the little known facts that John Mark evangelized his native Africa, that he was not martyred, but lived to write in Ephesus and on the island of Patmos, as Gray said 2 Timothy 4:11 confirms, and that John Mark or St. Mark is credited by Copts around the world with having founded the Coptic Christian Orthodox Church, one of the most devout denominations in all of Christendom, Gray added.
