Keyboards have been blazing with new blog posts and tweets have been flying about the latest pastor who had an affair.
Yes, it's a terrible thing. Not something I'm going to specifically get into here.
But maybe there were some signs. Perhaps some things that so many pastors not only don't notice, but practice with regularity.
You see, when we marginalize the "smaller" things about obedience to God's Word, it makes it so much easier to violate the "larger" things.
For example, how many times have I heard a pastor joke from the pulpit that he has a "led foot"? And just recently I had an elder of a church cause me to swerve because of his dangerous, speeding maneuver to pass me on the road.
What about some of the language that comes out of the mouths of pastors, not just in private settings but also from the pulpit? (see my post, "You said what?!?" for thoughts about this).
What about some of the heavy social drinking habits of a number of pastors?
Doesn't scripture teach us to obey the laws of the government that oversees us (including speed limits)? Doesn't scripture talk about not letting any unwholesome word come out of our mouths? Doesn't scripture talk about not being drunk with wine, but suggest something much better?
It seems to me we allow a lot of "little things" as acceptable parts of our lives ... even blatantly from the pulpit. So as we begin to chip away at excusing all the "little" stuff, we make the "big" stuff not so big, and more within our reach.
So where is the outrage of the pastor who speeds to a bar and cusses at the guy who is driving too slow while he swerves around him and speeds on?
You don't think that matters?
It only matters when the "big guys" with "big congregations" cheat on their wives ... then the righteous indignation flows? Then all the talk about accountability pours forth?
There's a book called, "Don't Sweat The Small Stuff" and a saying of "it's all small stuff."
In my experience, real achievement comes by sweating the small stuff because that's where the details are, and without attention to detail, you have failure.
Without attention to our daily life in Jesus Christ we have failure ... and that starts with the small stuff!
Maybe if church leaders start sobering up, cleaning up their mouths, and stop dismissing the "little things," we'll see fewer moral failures of the "big" type. I would suggest that those who have fallen hard didn't start with an affair. It started by telling their kids to say they weren't at home when they were; it started when they thought nothing of establishing in front of their congregation that they regularly speed (and laughing about it); it started when they consistently use some of the same language the world uses in their sermons; it started when we participated in the gossip along with others; it started when one "little" thing, upon another "little" thing, slowly ate away at the person's character like erosion slowly destroys a mighty rock. Our character isn't just about the "grand things" we do for God, it's about all the little, seemingly insignificant steps of obedience together that begin to reflect Christ in us.
Instead of thinking we have to build fortresses of accountability around "giant" sins, maybe we need to think about how to get all sin out of our lives. NO! I'm not saying become perfect, none of us will while wrapped in this flesh. But perhaps it's high time we took God's Word a little more seriously with regard to our moral behavior overall.
It's a harsh thing to a whole community when a pastor falls. But don't marginalize the effects on that teenager --- or adult --- sitting listening to the pastor he thinks is cool because he cusses, speeds, and drinks (by the way, I'm not picking on those three issues, they're just simplistic examples, so don't get hung up on them). What kind of "disciple" are we making in that situation?!
To me, the issue is bigger than the whirlwind around adultery. It's about genuinely letting the Holy Spirit renew our minds. In Christ, the old has passed, and we have become new. Let's live that way, today, tomorrow, and as long as the Lord gives us, through His power, to His glory!
Let's hear from Paul through his writing in Ephesians 4:17-32, "17 With the Lord's authority I say this: Live no longer as the Gentiles do, for they are hopelessly confused. 18 Their minds are full of darkness; they wander far from the life God gives because they have closed their minds and hardened their hearts against him. 19 They have no sense of shame. They live for lustful pleasure and eagerly practice every kind of impurity. 20 But that isn't what you learned about Christ. 21 Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, 22 throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. 23 Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. 24 Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy. 25 So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors the truth, for we are all parts of the same body. 26 And "don't sin by letting anger control you." Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 for anger gives a foothold to the devil. 28 If you are a thief, quit stealing. Instead, use your hands for good hard work, and then give generously to others in need. 29 Don't use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. 30 And do not bring sorrow to God's Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. 32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you."

"I made this recipe and doubled it for our family. I found that the lime was a little bit too strong for me. Next time I will make it and reduce the lime juice a little so that it's just a hint without being a strong up-front taste. If you really like lime flavorings in foods, you will enjoy this!"

Hey all! I have a 2002 mini (90th one produced in US)and the left hinge on the hatchback completely broke off so I can't open the hatch (without a major problem getting it closed again). Does anyone think this can be fixed for no fee as a recall/safety issue or not? :bawling:

oakley fives | cheap oakleys outlet sunglasses, wholesale for m frame prescription glasses.
oakley fives It's tax refund time and one very smart thing to do with a refund is some needed home improvement. Countertops is one improvement that you won't regret. New counters can give your kitchen a whole new look and feel—almost like a new kitchen. What type of countertops you choose depends on what you can afford and your lifestyle. Granite is still the number one countertop material in terms of sales, beauty, and durability. The price of granite has been going down due to the popularity of solid surface. Granite is almost indestructible, it's available in dozens of colors and it has a rich natural beauty that nothing can top. On the other hand, it does need to be sealed every 3 years. This is not a big job but it should usually be done by a professional so sometimes that's a deal-breaer for some homeowners. Marble is an option and has about the same perks as granite. Marble is a bit softer than granite so having it properly sealed is a must or it can become damaged. Both granite and marble can become pitted or eroded from acids like vinegar and wine, so care has to be taken to protect your stone countertops from things like salad dressing, pickle juice, and countertop cleaners that contain vinegar like Windex® Multi-Surface with vinegar. The possibility of radon emitted from stone countertops have been a topic open to debate for a while now. The fact is, all natural materials emit gasses—stone, wood and soil—your whole house emits a certain amount of gas. Granite and marble are not very porous and very little radon is likely to escape from these, unlike something like sandstone which is very soft. Much more radon is emitted from the soil beneath our homes and this is a much greater health hazard than granite or marble building materials. Any radon that is present from stone is extremely diluted in the typical home. In short, don't worry about your countertops, they will not make you sick. The most popular countertop material other than stone is the solid surface types. There's good reason for this; they come in a huge array of colors and patterns and they are extremely durable and won't scratch, burn, melt, or stain easily. If in time they do, a pro can sand the mark out because the material and color are solid through and through. These are generally in the mid-range as far as cost. Wood has always been an option and it's still a good option particularly for a kitchen island or other food prep area. These countertops can be pricey but will last for many years and is worth it. Tile is a lower cost option and is a good option for some. Tile does stain and it can scratch and sometimes burn or scorch so care must be taken to wipe up fruit and vegetable juices, coffee, tea—anything that can stain—immediately. If you drop something heavy on tile it can crack or break. Always use a cutting board and never set anything hot directly on the tile. Formica has improved immensely over the years. The good Formica can be a lower cost option to solid surface, the drawbacks are the same as tile. The older, cheaper, badly made Formica is a nightmare and should be avoided especially around the sink area. Water seeps under the hard top layer into the paper fibers underneath and causes swelling and bubbling. It also melts, stains and scratches very easily. So before you spend your hard earned tax refund take care to research and learn about your options so that your new countertops will give you years of beauty and service and will be well worth the cost.

ITworld.com –
SAP AG is adding new workforce management capabilities to its mySAP Retail offering, the company said Monday in New York at the National Retail Federation's annual convention.
The new Web-based offering will be out in the fourth quarter of this year, the company said. A key feature of the software will be an optimization engine aimed at assisting stores with staff scheduling by balancing variables such as employee skills, payroll requirements, workplace rules and employee availability.
The new product will also handle such tasks as reporting and forecasting, and is tailored for multi-location use, SAP said.
Much of the new software's functionality is based on StaffWorks, a product SAP picked up in its 1999 acquisition of Campbell Software Inc. StaffWorks now has an installed base of about 40 customers using it to run 20,000 licensed sites, according to SAP.
The new software will have "quite a bit of the flavor" of StaffWorks, said SAP product manager Lisa Jura, but customers planning to use the new offering won't have a straight migration path: While some data can be transferred from StaffWorks, the new software will require a fresh implementation.
However, SAP plans to continue supporting and extending StaffWorks, and in March will release a new version of the software, Jura said.
The new workforce management tools will be available as part of mySAP Retail, an offering in SAP's mySAP portfolio of Internet-connected e-business software. MySAP Retail is intended to facilitate operations such as customer service, supply-chain management and sales support.
The new software will also be available as a stand-alone offering, Jura said. Pricing has not yet been announced.

Arsenal kick off their pre-season friendlies against Barnet on Saturday at Underhill at 3pm.
Ahead of the game, Arsenal.com spoke to Bees manager Paul
Fairclough about his side's approach to the game, his scouting
past under Arsène Wenger and his bid to sign Ray Parlour.
Here's the first half of this two-part interview. Remember
tickets are still available for the game. It is also
streamed live on Arsenal TV Online.
Firstly Paul, how have pre-season preparations gone for Barnet?
Well, we came back last Wednesday and have been in every day apart from Sunday when we played a cricket game at the local cricket club. That was good fun and broke the training up.
What is your side like this season?
It is a new team with lots of new players. As for the new faces, we have Neal Bishop, who was player of the season at York City. Then there is Max Porter, a young midfielder from Bishop's Stortford, Michael Leary who was at Luton, and Anthony Thomas, a quick forward who played at Hemel Hempstead. We have been looking at other players as well.
What about that story linking you with Ray Parlour. What is the truth behind that?
We lost several senior figures in the summer. I had Andy Hessenthaler, Paul Warhurst and Ian Hendon last season. However the first two have gone and Ian Hendon has become assistant manager. So I was after a leading person on the pitch. I was aware that Ray was available and we made contact. He was at the stage where he was considering offers and, to be honest, he still is.
I understand he was training with Arsenal last season. It would have been a good link with Ray and a good opportunity to get back down to London. I don't know if he has aspirations to become a coach but it would have been a good opportunity to keep that eye in as well.
We have not given up on but I think that Ray has other options higher than Barnet. So we'll have to sit and wait to see what happens with that one.
Is there a chance he could sign for Barnet before Saturday? Would the prospect of Arsenal entice him?
I would not have thought so but there is always an option to give him a call. Ian Hendon is the one who is in contact. He could give him a call and tempt him to play. It could be on, you never know? We could play that card.
Where does this game fit in Barnet's preparations? With respect there is big gap between the sides so what can you gain from it?
This is a fans' day. It is chance to see the Premiership stars when the Barnet fans don't get the opportunity every Saturday and it is a chance for the Arsenal fans to perhaps see some of their new players.
Obviously we will learn. You can do that just from the movement and the passing of the players. And, of course, the scoreline can be quite dramatic. It was not so long ago that we got beaten 10-1. I remember we actually went 1-0 up and it was like prodding a hornets' nest. But it did not do us any harm because we went on that year to win the Conference and get back into the Football League. Last year was a close game too. It depends what side Arsenal bring but their movement is always a joy to watch.
Have you any indication of the side that Arsenal will put out?
I have spoken to the Club and I'll have an indication later this week.

The Methow (/ˈmɛt.haʊ/ MET-how) were a Native American tribe that lived along the Methow River, a tributary of the Columbia River in northern Washington. The tribe's name for the river was Buttlemuleemauch, meaning "salmon falls river".[1] The river's English name is taken from that of the tribe. The name "Methow" comes from the Okanagan placename /mətxʷú/, meaning "sunflower (seeds)".
Today, the Methow live primarily on the Colville Indian Reservation in Washington, where they form part of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, which is recognized by the United States government as an American Indian Tribe.
The Methow now speak English. Their endangered language, known as Colville-Okanagan, spoken only by older adults, is a part of the Southern Interior Salish linguistic branch.[2]

Maximizing function which defines a routine
(Apologies up front for my utter lack of programming ability--the only language Ive ever really programmed in is Basic and I havent even done much of that)
I have a function "G" in two arguments (x,y) which uses a loop (Im using label/goto for this loop if that gives any idea of my programming abilities) to alter the values of three "state" variables (a,b,c). The output of this function is to store the final values of these three variables a,b,c, (globally).
Is it possible in Mathematica to use Maximize or NMaximize on this function, in order to, for example, find the "x" which maximizes "a" (given y)?
Thanks in advance for any help (and please let me know if this question is too vague or too poorly worded),

Repair Compounds
Curious about the different ready-mix compounds. I've used regular joint compound for drywall repairs and DAP Plaster Repair for plaster walls and some spackle for small nail holes. All has worked well, but just curious about their differences. I've used joint compound on some of the plaster repairs and wondering if it will hold as well as the plaster repair. Also, since spackle fills the nail holes wouldn't it fill the cracks as well (less sanding involved vs joint compound or plaster repair). Then there is the "lightweight" spackle, lol. So just what is the difference in all this stuff other than the weight....a 32oz tub of plaster repair is the same size container as a 3lb tub of joint compound. Chris suggested I use the Easy Sand 90 on bare plaster to "seal" the cracks and it worked well, but I would never have known to use a "setting" compound. I understand it's to seal the bare plaster and provide a moisture barrier. For the second round of mud I used the plaster repair - worked good also. But just curious about some of the ready-mixes. I'm on my 5th room now and have 7 more to do so thought I'd take time to ask about this to make sure I'm using the right stuff in each room. Hope that makes sense, lol.:). Oh my, these inquisitive minds sure ask a lot of questions, huh.
Most any of that stuff is going to get the job done,except the light weight kind,that is for nail holes only. It mostly depends on how much time you have to let it dry. I almost always do my patching with ready mix out of the3- 5 gal tub, the newer easy sand kind that does not go all over the house but falls straight down( mostly), and let it dry over night.The easy sand 5, 20,45,90 that you have to mix drys faster and is better for the larger repairs. I think that is it,I am not an expert at drywall stuff but have to use it every day almost, so that's what I do.Now,I wish someone would actually have questions about HANGING wall paper:whistling2:
Well Chris....after stripping the last room I said to myself never again....
However, wallpaper is really beautiful when done right. I may possibly paper a focal wall in each room later, not sure yet, but will definitely be asking tons of questions then, lol. I have only papered one small bathroom years ago and probably did the prep wrong, lol. Paper still smooth with two coats of paint on it, lol. Not sure if I used primer and sizing....sure hope so or I'll be screaming. :yes: Actually, not sure of the difference between the two or if necessary to use both, lol.
This is actually a question. I have had large holes drilled on my apartment wall for hanging tv bracket but my cousin and his friend who did the job had to go trial and error so the wall ended up with numerous holes that are big for the big bracket screws. I would like to put down the tv and repair the wall. What materials would I need for repairing the holes? What do you call that mesh and potting? But they are noticeable on the wall. What can i use that would make the repairs unnoticeable?
Another question. I would like to remove the curtain rods that the apartment came with and hang new ones. What inexpensive, lightweight and yet powerful drill which preferably can also remove existing screws on concrete? Am approx. 92lb female and a 2.2 lb tool would still be heavy for me, but if there isn't anything out there that is lighter and powerful...

Igneous Software, not content with making their excellent BBC Podcast Lounge are surely striving for greatness with their upcoming launch of the BBC Radio Player. We had previously reported on their plans but were finally able to get hands on demo of it at last night's Windows Phone User Group (WPUG).
The new player will improve on the previous version in a number of ways. The UI has been updated to closely follow that of the official apps on other platforms. Igneous have taken great care to replicate the colours and visual cues from the iPlayer whilst taking advantage of Metro's inherent slick delivery of typography and graphics.

Sharlaine and James's Wedding
"Scott Adolph of Sculptures of Light Photography did my wedding. And I couldn't be happier with my choice of a photographer. I looked through nearly 100 photographers websites, made plenty of phone calls and have a few consultations. The choice of photographer was very important to me, as when the wedding day is all over, all you have is the memories and the pictures, and the day goes by so fast I wanted to have fantastic pictures to look back on. We went to Rocky Point Park in Port Moody to have our pictures done on the dock and on the beach. The pictures are amazing! Each one is like a work of art. I cannot stop staring at all my beautiful pictures. They are SO incredible... Scott was very professional and arrived on time, and the whole bridal party had a lot of fun doing pictures with him. He kept us laughing and made the whole picture taking experience a lot of fun. He has a selection of different wedding packages available in different price ranges, and was able to customize a package for me and stay within my budget. An awesome photographer and I wouldn't hesitate to use him all over again."

London, Sep 1: England have included uncapped batsman Jason Roy for the sole Twenty20 International against India at Edgbaston on September 7.
The Surrey batsman, who represented England Lions this summer and played a key role in helping his county to the NatWest T20 Blast Finals Day earlier this month, is the only uncapped player in the squad but Tim Bresnan, Ravi Bopara and James Taylor make a comeback to the side.
Eoin Morgan will lead the English team in the absence of regular captain Stuart Broad, who is to undergo a knee surgery Sep 4.
"This one-off NatWest International T20 provides us with an opportunity to look at players who have impressed recently in domestic cricket and gives them a chance to test themselves on the international stage against high-quality opposition," national selector James Whitaker said.
"I would like to wish Eoin Morgan and his squad all the very best against a strong Indian side."
England are currently 0-2 down in the five-match One-Day International (ODI) series with the first ODI being washed away.

Duchenne Awareness
Its very rare.
Doctors say one in 35-hundred boys are affected with Duchenne-- thats a type of Muscular Dystrophy.
In Florida, 40 boys will be diagnosed with this disease this year.
Boys with Duchenne can't walk and are only expected to live in to their mid 20's.
TV 20'S Duke Carter Followed one North Central Florida boy who has this rare disease and found out his parents just want to see him grow up as normal child.
"dad I got it."
This is Evan --- an eight year old boy Branford who got a yo yo as a gift.
After returning home from getting treatment in Ohio.
"wait I can do it…"
"Its crazy for a little kid to have to do that."
His father Bill…
"we're on our way home as soon as we leave the classroom."
Picks him up every tuesday from school since they started the trials in August.
After his dad signs him out…
nats of mom hugging him be right back tomorrow ok?"
And gets a hug from his mom its off to the airport
Where he drives for a hour to make sure he gets to his flight.
"he really doesn't like to leave."
Evan's parents say they were lucky their child is able to go on the trial after registering with "Duchenne Connect."
They were invited to Columbus, Ohio and were accepted into the program.
"it works well "
You see can see Evan working on classwork while he's getting his treatment.
A day later
"when they get back I'm just ecstatic that they're back safe on the ground"
His mom and older brother Billy being the biggest cheerleaders.
"we can begin to try to do things as normally as possible."
And after a little play time in the airport with the yo yo…

2 y/o in a fun run
Hello there!
We are planning to join a fun run with my 2-year-old son. Is it alright to have my son join the run, 100 meter dash or 1K? Well, I saw my son loves to run so I thought it would be okey for 1k. Friendly advice please. I know my son would love it but not so sure where to join him. I don't want him so exhausted and yet unhappy for the 100 meter, you know?! Kids love to run. Well, undecided at this. Advice.....

Homemade Raw Kefir Recipe (plus video)Updated: March 13, 2017Fermented Foods, Raw Milk at Home, Videos
I prefer raw kefir to yogurt because yogurt only has a 2-5 strains of beneficial bacteria, none of which aggressively attack and destroy pathogens in the gut.
Therefore, in a gut that is dominated by pathogens and candida (as in someone who has taken many rounds of antibiotics and other prescription drugs over the years and/or eats primarily processed foods), yogurt tends to have only a temporary impact in rebalancing the bacterial colonies in favor of the beneficial strains. On the other hand, homemade kefir has about 30 beneficial strains of bacteria and yeasts which do aggressively recolonize the gut by destroying pathogens. As a result, kefir has the potential to permanently alter the gut environment for the better.
You can sometimes get live kefir grains from a friend, as the kefir grains grow slowly over time and extras can be given away (or even eaten as a live probiotic). If you cannot find any live grains in your community, you can mail order them from Cultures For Health.
I will cover how to make water kefir in this video. To learn how to make coconut milk kefir, check the link for recipe plus video how-to.
Raw Kefir Recipe
1 glass wide mouth mason jar, quart size
1 quart raw, grassfed whole milk
Live kefir grains or a packet of kefir powder starter culture
Pour the raw milk into a clean glass mason jar leaving about 1 inch at the top. You can use cold milk right out of the refrigerator if this is more convenient. Gently stir kefir grains or kefir starter powder into the raw milk.
Screw on the lid and leave on the counter at room temperature for 24 hours. Over this time, you will see the milk slightly separate and thicken.
The kefir should be ready after 24 hours of fermentation time. If powder culture was used, you can use the kefir as is. If live kefir grains were used, gently strain them out to use again with the next batch of raw kefir. I do not rinse my live kefir grains before using again.

Man bans booze; boxing body KOs entourages
ANTHONY MUNDINE has banned alcohol from his bout at Liverpool tomorrow night in a bid to reassure fans of their safety after last weekend's violent crowd behaviour at the Ahmed Elomar-Willie Kickett fight in Gosford.
Mundine's manager Khoder Nasser yesterday announced the alcohol ban as the Boxing Authority of NSW moved to outlaw entourages accompanying boxers into the ring until an investigation was completed into the wild scenes that followed Elomar's first-round KO of Kickett at Central Coast Leagues Club.
Boxing authority executive officer Craig Waller said the findings of the investigation into the Gosford incidents would not be released until next week but until then only the four people listed to be in a boxer's corner would be allowed to walk to the ring with them.
The decision affects three promotions in NSW this week but by far the highest-profile is Mundine's fight with Uruguayan middleweight Rafael Sosa Pintos at the EG Whitlam Centre tomorrow night.
Told of the ruling by the Herald, Nasser questioned the motive behind the ban on entourages and said banning alcohol would be far more effective.
"What happened at the Central Coast happened after the fight, not before it, so I question what purpose banning entourages is going to achieve," Nasser said.
"What people need to be told is that they can come to the show at the Whitlam Centre on Wednesday night knowing there will be no grog for sale. The Anthony Mundine fight is going to be the first professional sporting event in NSW to be grog-free.
"When the problems happened on Friday night, it was the cans and bottles that were being thrown into the ring before the chairs. But at our show people won't be able to come and get intoxicated."

Royal Bank of Scotland and the Treasury are preparing to lobby the European Commision to allow the taxpayer-controlled bank more time to sell 316 branches after a deal with Santander UK collapsed.
With Virgin Money and private-equity group JC Flowers both looking at reviving offers they put forward before losing out to Santander two years ago, RBS will argue it needs more time to complete a sale as decreed by the EU. The current deadline for a sale is by the end of 2013, but RBS is looking to be allowed to reach an agreement on a deal which could complete in 2014.
It is already pointing out that EU rules on state aid for banks have altered in the five years since it received £45 billion of taxpayers' money.
Shares in RBS fell by as much as 4% when the stock market opened as investors gave a knee-jerk reaction to the collapse of the sale.
But within hours the price fall was less than 1% with the shares down 2.3p at 268.6p. That left the taxpayer nursing an extra loss of £208 million on the 80% stake, which is just a fraction of the £21 billion total loss since the bank was bailed out.
Sir Philip Hampton, chairman of RBS, is likely to spearhead negotiations with the EU alongside Greg Clark, financial secretary to the Treasury.
Hampton said: "What's changed since the original decision is the climate around state aid. The commission has been much, much more flexible. It used to be a pretty severe regime but they are making different judgements. Governments have to negotiate state aid. As it happens, the UK retail banking market is more competitive now than it has been for decades."
In March, Germany's Commerzbank, which received an €18.2 billion (£14.6 billion) bail out in 2008 was let off an earlier order by the commission that it must sell its property finance business, Eurohypo.
But analysts point out that if RBS is let off the hook on selling branches it could anger Lloyds Banking Group which was forced to sell more than 600 branches to Co-op Bank under Project Verde.
RBS chief executive Stephen Hester has asked investment bank UBS to revive the sales process and to look again at a possible initial public offering of the business, which could see it resurrect the name Williams & Glyn's – a brand it previously used for small business banking. Analysts said that a new sale is likely to fetch £500 million to £1 billion less than the £1.65 billion which Santander originally offered.
However, RBS said since the branches it is being forced to sell are highly profitable, it actually benefits more from each day it continues to own them.
Virgin and Flowers confirmed they would look at the sale again but had not made any formal approach to RBS.

Those were strange rehearsals of "Il Trovatore" upon this California shore.
The Times notice of Il Trovatore was more appreciative than usual.
The programme included "Norma" and selections from "Il Trovatore."
The music of 'Il Trovatore' shows a sad falling off from the promise of 'Rigoletto.'
Familiarity may breed contempt, and nothing could well be more familiar than the "Miserere" from "Il Trovatore."
Patti performed the next night Il Trovatore to similar receipts.
The prison scene and Miserere from Il Trovatore were beautiful.
I took him there in a weak moment to hear the 'late lamented Titiens' sing her choicest song in 'Il Trovatore,'—you know it?
When she played from Il Trovatore you did not think of a conservatory, but of a prison.
He was humming to himself that song she heard an hour ago in Il Trovatore, that song of passion and love and tragedy.

Quality Control: Antica Napa ChardonnayNick Passmore
The other evening I pulled the cork on a bottle of Meursault from a well-known Burgundy producer. It was only a village wine, but I anticipated enjoying a drop of real burgundy with my piece of turbot. It was not to be, for the wine was thin, watery, and uninteresting. I have drunk more flavorsome Mâcons for less than half this bottle's $40 price tag. Why do burgundies so often disappoint?
It was on to plan B. I next reached for an Antica Napa Chardonnay 2008 ($35). It was plan B because I had the 2007 a while ago and found it over-oaked and not too different from so many other California chards. This time the wine proved a delight. Gone was the obvious oak, replaced by a lean, crisp elegance tinged with tropical fruits and a finely hued minerality.
The story behind the evolution of this wine is an interesting one.
The Antinoris, the Italian wine dynasty, first invested in the spectacular property high on the rocky eastern slopes of Napa Valley in 1986. Due to a series of complicated partnership and lease-back arrangements, they began to exert full control only in the mid-2000s.
At this point the name Antica was born, and they were able to bring their own winemaking philosophy and exacting standards to the property. This was not an overnight process. For instance, they weren't able to exert the level of control over the 2007 chardonnay that they would have liked—hence the oaky and uninteresting wine I encountered earlier this year.
With the 2008 they had more control, and the result is a wine that better reflects the elegant style they are seeking. According to winery manager Glenn Salva, this is not a one-off fluke but an indication of the direction the winery is headed.
So if Antica is not yet a name familiar to you, watch for it as it is a label with a bright and starry future.
When to Drink: Now
Breathing/Decanting: Half an hour's breathing helps it open up.
Food Pairing: Fish, shellfish, carbonara sauce, mild cheeses.
Grapes: 100 percent chardonnay
Appellation: Napa Valley
Region: California

Eagan Campus Supports Crime Prevention During National Night Out

Students enrolled in the "Payroll Accounting" class at Rasmussen College's Eagan campus recently created a top 10 list of tips to protect your social security number. "In the age of identity theft, protecting one's social security number is critical to keeping personal information secure," said Kari Grittner, accounting state program coordinator. "This topic was unique to the payroll accounting course, and we were looking for new ideas to protect social security numbers."
Police departments from Eagan, Apple Valley, Cambridge and the U.S. Army Reserves have already booked space in the firearms simulator and there's talk of allowing departments to hone their CSI skills in the crime lab. Local police departments will eventually be able to use the facility at no cost.
Deciding what to do with the rest of your life at age 18 can be a very challenging decision, and it's one Eagan Health Information Technician (HIT) graduate Jennifer Knutson knows about this firsthand.
Four accomplished Minnesota law enforcement officials offered insight and their perspective to Rasmussen College law enforcement students in Eagan, Minn.

The most confusing aspect in evaluating Supreme Court Justices surrounds the vocabulary used to describe them. If a Justice is labeled "liberal" they are most often associated with the Democratic Party and conversely "conservative" Justices are lopped in with the Republicans. This is not necessarily the case as the terms "liberal" and "conservative" refer to interpretation of the Constitution rather than political affiliation.

Yea, but the question is: Can I get Social Security Disablity, so I can sit at home on my butt all day and get money from the benevolent taxpayer?
#2 Feb 10, 2011
It's all about getting "certified"....And having an official excuse for being an ass......
And here is a suprise...Kids who weren't made to behave, grow into adults who don't behave...[Oppps I mean "have social skills"]...
....And have kids they don't teach to behave...Etc Etc Etc.....
#3 Feb 10, 2011
Despite his engineering degree, support-group member Don Vreeland hasn't worked in the field since 1997. He was fired from a product-engineering job, he said, because of poor social skills that can accompany the disorder.
How about a non engineering job?

I do believe adult adhd is real-I have been diagnosed. But you can work, function, etc...It just takes A LOT more effort than most of us. I am almost done with my nursing degree. Took me 5 years but as a mother of a toddler-I am okay with that:)
#5 Feb 10, 2011
Where does it say he's unemployed? The article states he's not employed in the engineering field.
#6 Feb 10, 2011
I'm an adult with ADD and I agree that it takes a LOT of effort. But most people will do what they need to do to adapt and be successful. For example the man working outside of the field in which he has a degree.
It's unfortunate that the previous posters chose to insult the group of people who were doing just that - getting help to succeed despite their disorder. Noone in the article spoke of wanting to stay home and recieve disability payments or really anything else from anyone else. The hatefulness that people have for each other is disheartening.
#7 Feb 10, 2011
Thanks for this nicely written article, Amy. As an ADHD Adult with ADHD kids, I appreciate your thorough, compassionate approach to this subject. Another great resource for ADHD help and information is ADDitudemag.com .
#8 Feb 10, 2011
This is very real! My child is very well behaved and always has been at home and in school. He just has this disorder and can't focus on everyday tasks. Even things he loves he just can't maintain the focus it takes to function at the same level as most other children. We just deal with it and he will deal with it for the rest of his life with out a government hand out I might ad.
#9 Feb 10, 2011
thank you for this article. i have this, and i work two jobs (I'm only including this for the first three posters). I struggle daily with getting to places on time, finding my keys and cell phone, and trying to not blurt things out.
United States

How many drugs is he on? If he can't focus in school I hope he never drives.

To those of you with you negative comments. Maybe you have the disorder also since you can't seem to FOCUS on one decent comment. I had no significant problems in school or work. I went to college after high school and lived aways from home.I always had friends but didn't realize I had the disorder until my teenage daughter was diagnosed. It presents itself in different ways with females and I had always coped with it and made adjustments within myself to adapt to society but my house was always messy and I lost things and bills got paid late. By the way I have been on my job for over 20 years and have never received disabilty or welfare. So learn and think before you speak. If you don't know about a topic don't comment.

A disease that's unique only to North Americans, almost unknown in Europe.
Could it be something else?

"I'm so focused on an idea that I don't want to say hi to someone I pass in the hallway and forget it," he said. "But I don't want to seem rude."
This sentence in the article did not make sense. How is a person who is "so focused on an idea" considered ADHD? Sounds more like maybe OCD.
#17 Feb 10, 2011
ADHD has many facets one of them is focusing so intently on one thing that you lose focus of other things. It is not just shiny, shiny, the mind randomly moving from one thing to focus on to another. Many folks with ADHD can find some succes in their careers for the very reason, that they can focus like a laser on one particular task but have trouble with the multitasking that so much of today's work requires of us.
#18 Feb 10, 2011
yeah there is no adhd in Europe.
get a clue before you open your pie hole.
#19 Feb 10, 2011
people with ADHD have trouble focusing on multiple things so thinkinh hard about one thing is normal for them and if something gets in the way like they guy he doesnt want to say hi to he'll start thinking about that and forget about his primary task
#20 Feb 10, 2011
This is not ADHD. Read up on it and get educated!
Predominantly inattentive type symptoms may include:
Be easily distracted, miss details, forget things, and frequently switch from one activity to another
Have difficulty maintaining focus on one task
Become bored with a task after only a few minutes, unless doing something enjoyable
Have difficulty focusing attention on organizing and completing a task or learning something new or trouble completing or turning in homework assignments, often losing things (e.g., pencils, toys, assignments) needed to complete tasks or activities
Not seem to listen when spoken to
Daydream, become easily confused, and move slowly
Have difficulty processing information as quickly and accurately as others
Struggle to follow instructions.

Kate and Michael, 20-something housemates working at the same Trader Joe's supermarket, are thoroughly screwed when people start turning into zombies at their house party in the Oakland hills. The zombie plague is a sexually transmitted disease, turning its victims into shambling, horny, voracious killers.
Thrust into extremes by the unfolding tragedy, Kate and Michael are forced to confront the decisions they've made, and their fears of commitment, while trying to stay alive. Michael convinces Kate to meet him in the one place in the Bay Area that's likely to be safe and secure from the zombie hordes: Alcatraz. But can they stay human long enough?

"In The Loving Dead, Amelia Beamer gives us a zombie novel like none other. Crisp, smooth and stylish, it zips along from scene to scene, accumulating tension, humor, and insight as it accelerates. It is also comic and sexy, a combination I find irresistible." (Peter Straub)
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"This is not a zombie novel"
I thought this was going to be a novel "twist" on the zombie genre. The Loving Dead is basically a women's adult novel with the backdrop of the zombie apocolypse. The book is constantly referring to sex and the zombies are a very small part of the story. A waste of a credit.

No-pack Blankets — Packing Their Troubles Away
"But with the Vulcan Com No Pak blanket, installation is quick, printability is excellent and we never have to factor in the extra time for packing or repacking."
Gene Price, first pressman, agrees. "Installation with a packed blanket takes about one hour on the Mitsubishi—on a good day," he comments. "With this blanket, our average time has been cut in half—from about 15 minutes per unit to 71⁄2 minutes."
"Our operation requires frequent product changes," adds Jim Judkins, general foreman. "Rather than stop the presses and repack the blanket, we can just change the plates and begin a new run."
In addition, the papers Quebecor-Hawkins runs are lightweight, typically 20- to 30-lb. stocks. With the Vulcan Com No Pak, Judkins notes that the blanket permitted "excellent sheet release" and resisted "edge cuts."
Reeves attributes the blanket's excellent printability to the super-fine buffed face and improved printing surface—both of which were constructed with proprietary processes that are said to ensure sharp, well-defined dot reproduction.
At the St. Ives plant, similar results have been noted. Twenty-four hours a day, six/seven days a week, the facility runs high-circulation, high-profile magazines (Time and Newsweek) on its two Goss/Baker Perkins presses and two Heidelberg Harris M-1000 presses.
Quality Results
Larry Winn, pressroom operation manager, says that initially St. Ives was skeptical about no-pack blankets: "We knew that we could save time by not having to pack and we could eliminate our huge inventory of packing sheets, but we just weren't confident that we could get the quality we expected or the unit-to-unit consistency from press to press."
But, in June 1997, the Vulcan Com No Pak blanket dispelled that perception. "With our old pack blankets, the operators had to put the blankets on, 'run them in' to get the stretch out, then repack and retorque them repeatedly to keep the gauge where it ought to be," Winn says.

Last month, the Homestead Buying Club purchased 96 rolls of toilet paper at 52 cents a roll—roughly half the cost of a comparable roll from a retail store. The Northside's Elizabeth and David Macasaet started the club in 2001 as a way for people to cooperatively purchase food and other staples, like toilet paper, at wholesale prices. Earlier this year, they turned over club management to The North-Missoula Community Development Corporation (NMCDC), a nonprofit organization that serves low- and moderate-income people who live on the Northside, Westside and residential downtown. In the next few months, the Homestead Buying Club will evolve into a food co-op.
"Often, people develop a co-op when things are hard, when their needs aren't being met," says NMCDC's Molly Moody.
A co-op is a member-owned collaboration between local suppliers and consumers. Consumers who buy shares own the co-op. The Homestead Buying Club plans to incorporate by the end of October and undergo a membership drive before the end of the year.
Currently, says NMCDC's Katherine Romano, between 30 and 40 people purchase through the buying club every month. Many seek nutritious food, which is available but not always affordable elsewhere in Missoula. On a recent shopping trip to the Good Food Store, Moody noticed a family-pack of extra sharp cheddar cheese from Victor's Lifeline Farm for $12.39. Through the buying club, the same 24-ounce packet is available for $9.78—$8.50 plus a 15 percent handling surcharge.
"That's quite a deal," says Moody.
But a good deal isn't the only factor driving the community's desire for a co-op.
"What people have told me," says Moody, "is they want a place where they can socialize and gather, a community center."
Anyone can join the buying club and co-op, says Romano. A steering committee is searching for a permanent location for the co-op somewhere within NMCDC's service area.

Peer Leaders at Carleton College
Carleton College employs hundreds of students in a variety of leadership roles. These Peer Leaders are vital in providing important programs and services to the campus community. With the talent, energy and spirit of Carleton's peer leaders, the College stands well-positioned to provide a true liberal arts education that challenges students to "learn broadly and think deeply."
Peer Leader Responsibilities
- Collaborate with other Peer Leaders, staff and faculty in creating a welcoming and inclusive campus community
- Provide resources and opportunities for students to pursue and reflect on experiences that prepare students for their post Carleton lives
- Serve as a positive role model and mentor to students
- Encourage students to explore and become involved in a variety of curricular and co-curricular activities on campus and in the community
- Be a positive source of energy and information to students
- Participate in combined Peer Leader training
- Be available to assist with the welcoming of students and their families during New Student Week (unless otherwise directed by your supervisor)
- Serve as an effective participant in small group settings during New Student Week (unless otherwise directed by your supervisor)
To this end, the Peer Leader Training Committee was created to unify and strengthen the Peer Leader program. This Committee has two main goals: 1) to develop a successful and inclusive combined Peer Leader training program; and 2) to identify how to best utilize the talent, energy and spirit of the Peer Leaders in assisting fellow students in a collaborative manner. In pursuing these goals, the committee hopes to build camaraderie among Peer Leaders, promote greater understanding of the varied resources available to students, and ultimately lead to a higher level of student satisfaction and development.

UAW leadership question
Anyone here find it interesting that of ALL the different types of people we have here, rednecks, inbreds, hillbillies, toothless fucks, college kids, a couple college graduates, union workers, non union workers, feminists, liberals, repubs, dems, socialists, communists, conservatives, cops, plumbers, old guys, etc........
We have all sorts of union threads, some bashing the unions, some supporting the unions. I have not once, ever in my entire time here seen someone say "I'm a UAW leader and this is how it really is" or I'm a UAW this and at my plant, or on my shift, or my workers, or whatever....
Are they afraid to come out?
Are they told they aren't allowed to talk outside of work?
Are they just so out of touch with the real world that they don't have any sort of hobbies like this?
We have some union workers, auto guys, laborers, guys who have to deal with the union, skilled trades, etc. But no one willing to admit they are a UAW leader of any sort.....

My guess is most are embarrassed and ashamed to admit that. Would you not be ashamed to admit you are a worthless human being working for a group that is not really needed anymore in most circumstances. Knowing you take union dues from some hard working folk and some jack fawks and then basically get a fat paycheck for doing much of nothing for said people. I could go on and on with this.
Bottom line though is i would not want anyone to know i sold my soul to the devil and have a job that pays me well with money taken from the hardworking union members that i do not do much of anything for and the lazy jack ass union members who can thank me for still having a job and the fact they get paid the same as the hard working people.
Not all union employees are garbage but most that are more than a union rep tend to have a i do not give a fukc attitude.

There likely aren't any on here.
I'm in a Union. I go to work, don't bother anybody and get along with those above and below me...even if I don't care for them. I've never filed a grievance, never had to use the union to get out of any stupid bullshit and I don't drink or get high at work.
I never asked to be in one, but that's the job I have. I like my job and I'm happy to even have one, so I go to work and do what is asked of me without any hassle. I've always had the same work ethic whether I've been in a union or not, do what I'm paid to do.
You don't hear about the 90% that go to work and do their job, just the ones drinking 40's and smoking crack at the park while on lunch.
Any workplace has their share of fuckups...it just takes much longer to get rid of them in a union shop.

That's one of the things I disliked the most about my old job, it was impossible to fire people who didn't do their jobs basically. It was incredibly frustrating and stressful to have to make up for their short comings. Pay scales based solely on length of employment also suck. People who deserve a good and deserve more can't get it, and people who don't deserve to make what they do, still get paid it.

The only reason I work as hard as I do is personal work ethic.
There is ZERO incentive for me to care about working hard when I know I can slack off totally and still get paid as much as the hardest worker in the place.
You can't reward people for their hard work or solving a major problem if the pay scales are fixed and regulated so rigidly.

its amazing how many talk big about what the unions aren't doing? I can't say they are perfect by any means but without them the base wages in this country would be way lower then they are. if you look back about 80 years ago when the car companies wanted nothing to do with them they cared nothing for the employees and didn't give two shits if you got sick or died. they'd replace you over night, you didn't have a job to come back to. I see the same thing now out in Cali where my pal was running a Astro cap manufacturing facility. they have illegals lined up out front waiting for their spot. if someone doesn't show they grab the next guy in line.
As for what the union has done for me?
I am off on a medical right now. I am getting 95% of my pay garrentied for 70 working days. after that it goes to 65%. I also have a job to go back to.
say what you want, but but after the dust settles I will stick it out with the union. they have more going for them then you know.

80 years ago unions were needed and they did GREAT things for this country. Today, not so much. Now they protect the worthless and demand wages that far exceed market value. You should be guaranteed a job when you return from your medical because you are WORTH IT AND THEY WANT YOU BACK, not because your union says so.

I agree with Fatty Matty, I am in a union and do my job and try to make the company i work for better. There are people that work there that don"t give a shit and could care less. It happens everywhere. But i have been in a few meetings where the guy getting wrote up did not really do anything wrong and the manager did not want to take any heat for what happened. In any business you have to hold people accountable for their actions, alot of the times when you see or here stuff about people being lazy or drinking ect. It boils down to the fact the manager is not addressing the situation and holding people accountable and not doing the job of managing properly.

War dead remembered
Malta celebrated Remembrance Day today with a ceremony at the War Monument in Floriana and Mass at St John's Co Cathedral.
In his homily, Archbishop Paul Cremona said that everyone can contribute to peace and not just people in power.
He said today was a time to remember those who died and gave their all during the two world wars.
God did not make mankind for wars and wars could only be justified to protect justice and humanity.
Christ also died for his people and will come back on earth for salvation. This gives hope to those who lost loved ones who are alive in Christ's love.
Poppy wreaths to remember the war victims were placed at the foot of the monument. Ex-servicemen from the Royal British Legion and other organisations took part.
The ceremony was also marked with a flypast by the AFM's King Air.

James Arthur has been praising his pal and fellow X Factor finalist Jahmene Douglas.
The 23 year old won the ITV show last night, after going head to head with Jahmene in the grand finale. However, before the result was announced both men claimed they would be happy for the other to win and we actually totally believed them.
Jahmene could not have been more supportive of and happy for his pal when he did triumph and speaking on Daybreak this morning Arthur returned the favour, telling Lorraine Kelly:
"Absolutely world class that boy. I can't say enough good things about him."
After his touching tribute to his friend, James revealed that the next step for him is getting his album out onto the market.
On winning he automatically landed a deal with Simon Cowell's SYCO and revealed that he wants to get his debut album out as soon as possible. There will be no waiting for a year for James.
The Middlesborough man has had a difficult life to date. He endured a troubled childhood and lived in a tiny poky bedsit before taking part in the ITV show. He's poured all that heartache and experience into his songs over the years and he's hoping that some of his lyrics will touch and help people, once they hit the mass market.
James said:
"The next step for me is getting all the material I have been writing for years and all the songs I've accumulated and getting them produced and out there. Hopefully helping people with my lyrics and relating to people. That's the goal anyway."
The songwriter has confessed on many occasions that he wouldn't have gotten to the end of The X Factor without his mentor Nicole Scherzinger. She helped him through his panic attack which almost saw him leave the competition in the early stages and worked with him on his songs each week, so he could retain his credibility and sense of individuality.
This morning he paid tribute to the brunette beauty again saying:
"I couldn't have asked for a better mentor than Nicole. First and foremost she's an artist and she appreciates exactly what I wanted to do and gave me artistic licence and allowed me to do what I wanted to do with the songs I got every week."
James released his winner's single Impossible at midnight last night and already it's at number one in the iTunes chart. He performed 'Impossible' on the show yesterday and you can see the video below.
Did you agree with last night's results? Are you looking forward to James' album? Leave your comments below and download James' single here.


text: Home In modern apache, mod_rewrite uses PCRE instead of your system's regexp. One thing to watch out for in rules is greediness. Basically, each matching rule will attempt to match the maximum amount allowable to satisfy a rule. This, however, is rarely what you want when using statements like (.*) in the middle of a RewriteRule. (although it's usually exactly what you want at the end of a rule).Here's a basic demonstration (watch how $1 takes the largest possible string):#Rewriting with two greedy capture anything statements split by a '/' RewriteRule ^/test/(.*)/(.*)$ /foo?one=$1&two;=$2 [R,L]Results:request> GET /test/foo/bar/moo HTTP/1.1response< HTTP/1.x 302 Found< Location: http://mspo.com/foo?one=foo/bar&two;=mooNow switch to non-greedy mode:#Rewriting with one non-greedy capture anything followed by a greedy (see how $1 takes the smallest possible string) RewriteRule ^/test/(.*?)/(.*)$ /foo?one=$1&two;=$2 [R,L]Results:request> GET /test/foo/bar/moo HTTP/1.1response< HTTP/1.x 302 Found< Location: http://reallygothic.com/foo?one=foo&two;=bar/mooWhen using aggressive captures (.+) or (.*) in the middle of your rule, think carefully about using the ? to modify greed characteristics to make sure you get exactly what you want.For extra testing confusion, a test with just two parameters (GET /test/foo/bar HTTP/1.1) would have shown these two rules to be exactly the same.

Jeep Week in Orlando
5 Attachment(s)
Our East Coast Sales Manager sent me a bunch of photos from Jeep Beach. Thought I'd share them with you all.
Jeep Beach is held at Daytona Beach, and is sponsored by the Mid-Florida Jeep Club. There's a show, an obstacle course, a vendor row and all sorts of activities. But the big event is the Sunday Parade on the Beach.
Brad is there with Jeeper's Den, a nice Jeep shop in Orlando. He flew in, and tells me he's never been more disappointed to be somewhere with a sad little rental car.
