I got a great buy on these- 4.95 per each- and I bought 3 to decorate the railings of our front porch rails. I love the look of this. It would certainly be worth 3 times what I paid- though I am glad I could get it on sale. This is even more attractive in person than it is in its picture.

Why the Oscar Belongs to Halle
By Ronald Grover
You know Oscar season is in full swing when Hollywood studios start accusing each other of waging nasty campaigns in pursuit of those 13.5-inch gold statues.
This year, the mud slinging has supposedly been done by Fox (Moulin Rouge), at the expense of the presumed front-runner Universal's A Beautiful Mind. Or maybe the prize goes to Miramax, which has high hopes for In the Bedroom. The charge? That Ron Howard, who directed A Beautiful Mind for Universal, left out any references to John Nash's homosexual behavior, antisemitism, or illegitimate child. Nash is the Nobel-prize winning mathematician whose life the movie chronicles.
It's hard to get all worked up over that particular spat -- which both Fox and Miramax deny any involvement in. But lest you think the Academy Awards is all about rewarding artistry, the stars and their managers know there's more gold to be had after lugging home that 8.5-pound Oscar. That's why everyone pulls out their big marketing guns even before the nominations are announced.
Consider the case of the ultragorgeous Halle Berry, a Best Actress nominee for her brilliant performance in Monster's Ball. Berry has had two armies on her side -- one fanning out from the offices of her longtime manager Vincent Cirrincione, the other from Lion's Gate, the independent film studio that produced and distributed Monster's Ball. Their campaigns have been clean, aboveboard, and honest.
But make no mistake, the Oscar is a marketing tool -- and they know it. "From the beginning, we figured that this was a film that would be marketed for its award potential, and Halle's award potential," says Tom Ortenberg, president of Lion's Gate Film Releasing.
The film was released on Dec. 26, 2001, on seven screens in New York and Los Angeles, to qualify for the awards. But it opened wider -- to 324 theaters -- in early February, just before nomination ballots were due in hopes that a blizzard of favorable reviews would sway voters. Lion's Gate also pushed hard to have the film screened at the prestigious Berlin Film Festival that same weekend. And it quickly blitzed the trade papers as well as The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times with ads after Berry was awarded the Silver Bear in Berlin for her performance.
Lion's Gate also helped build buzz by renting a theater in Brentwood, Calif., for two days, showing the film for eight hours each day to make sure no voter missed it. The target then was the 200-plus nominating voters for the Screen Actors Guild. SAG's nominations and award ceremony precede the Oscars. Meanwhile, Cirrincione was setting up nonstop interviews for his client, including some from a rented soundstage in England, where Barry was filming the coming James Bond Film, Die Another Day.
Like a well-oiled machine, it all worked. Berry was nominated for Best Actress by SAG a month before the Academy ballots were due and won the SAG prize just as final Oscar ballots were being mailed in. "You hope it is like every election, that most of the folks wait until the end to mail in their ballots," says Cirrincione.
If Berry takes home the award on Mar. 24, it could easily be worth $5 million or more each time the 33-year old actress steps in front of a movie camera. "Her marketability goes straight up," says Cirrincione. "It makes her an international star."
While Berry is hardly underpaid, by Hollywood standards she works cheaply. She earned $2.5 million for her last major film, playing the temptress in the John Travolta film Swordfish. She's getting slightly more than that to play alongside Pierce Brosnan in Die Another Day. Compare that to what 29-year old Gwyneth Paltrow gets after having won the 1998 Oscar for her starring role in Shakespeare in Love -- $10 million. She banked only $750,000 for appearing in Shakespeare.
To join Paltrow in the post-Oscar gold mine, Berry first has to get by a pretty tight field. The Internet site Goldderby.com, which polls movie critics, has Berry neck-and-neck with In the Bedroom's Sissy Spacek, who won the 1980 Best Actress Award for Coal Miner's Daughter. A poll of Yahoo! users has Moulin Rouge star Nicole Kidman romping off with the prize. (The other nominees are Renee Zellweger, for Bridget Jones' Diary, and Judi Dench, for Iris.) Hollywood Stock Exchange has Berry as the favorite. For my money, Halle should win the prize. Alas, I don't have a vote.
"As far as I'm concerned, she has already won," says her manager Cirrincione. And, in fact, that may be true. A former Miss Ohio and the 1986 Miss USA runner-up, Berry is considered a top-flight actress. She won a Golden Globe in 1999 for her portrayal as the black actress Dorothy Dandridge in the HBO movie Introducing Dorothy Dandridge. She was in the blockbuster hit X-Men last year and will soon start work on the sequel. She took on the role in Monster's Ball - and cut her salary to $600,000 -- largely to prove that she's an actress as well as being beautiful.
She still has to prove she can open a movie on her own, or that she can command the megabuck salary that comes with a starring role for a major film. Cirrincione thinks that Berry faces an uphill battle, largely because she is an African-American woman. (Berry's father was African American, her mother Caucasian.) "I talked with the head of one independent studio, and he wasn't sure she could open a film," says Cirrincione. He concedes that Berry lacks the kind of international following that most film studios look for when marketing a film overseas.
Things are going her way, however. All the marketing efforts and the Oscar nomination have raised her profile greatly. A win would take her to the next level. Berry's heritage might even help in this era when political correctness seems to be in vogue. Two African-American actors, Will Smith and Denzel Washington, are among the Best Actor nominees.
Then again, maybe Berry will simply get the Oscar because of her riveting performance. And if her marketing team can help her cash in on Oscar's riches, well, she deserves that too.

The last unsigned first-round rookie is no longer unsigned. The Jacksonville Jaguars and wide receiver Justin Blackmon agreed to a four-year deal worth about $18.5 million on Monday, according to the Florida Times-Union. The team broke the news on its official Twitter feed and wrote that Blackmon will sign on the dotted lines either tonight or tomorrow. He'll report Tuesday after missing the first 11 days of Jaguars training camp. According to Vito Stellino of the Times-Union, Blackmon won't be able to put on pads until his fourth day, so he will definitely miss the team's first preseason game versus the New York Giants on Friday night.
Fantasy Analysis:
With Laurent Robinson disappointing coaches early on in camp, Blackmon should ascend the Jaguars' WR depth chart rather quickly. But the loss of practice time and learning will be a detriment that might take weeks or perhaps months for the rookie to overcome. The ability of quarterback Blaine Gabbert to connect with him consistently is another issue. FFToolbox has ranked Blackmon as the No. 32 WR, putting him clearly in WR3 range. But it's going to be a really bumpy ride for him in his debut season.

On a low-attention Sunday, the Associated Press's Tom Raum put together a pretty good analysis ("US debt will keep growing even with recovery"), though not labeled as such, of the serious financial situation the country faces thanks to the mushrooming national debt.
But the AP writer ignored two critical warnings raised in a related item he filed over a year ago on Wednesday, January 7, 2009 ("Analysis: Deficit spending is tough medicine") that have contributed mightily to the dire situation he described. In that report, Raum claimed that there was a "consensus ... that some form of major stimulus — either new spending, tax cuts or a mix — is needed ... so long as it is short term and doesn't include permanent new spending programs." It is clear that the stimulus plan passed last year has flunked both key concerns he raised.
Raum also blithely assumed that White House and Congressional Budget Office forecasts assuming a huge increase in collections are accurate, when there is ample evidence that they are not.
Here are key paragraphs from the AP's Sunday sounding of the siren:
... For the U.S., the crushing weight of its debt threatens to overwhelm everything the federal government does, even in the short-term, best-case financial scenario - a full recovery and a return to prerecession employment levels.
The government already has made so many promises to so many expanding "mandatory" programs. Just keeping these commitments, without major changes in taxing and spending, will lead to deficits that cannot be sustained.
Take Social Security, Medicare and other benefits. Add in interest payments on a national debt that now exceeds $12.3 trillion. It all will gobble up 80 percent of all federal revenues by 2020, government economists project.
That doesn't leave room for much else. What's left is the entire rest of the government, including military and homeland security spending, which has been protected and nurtured by the White House and Congress, regardless of the party in power.
The U.S. debt crisis also raises the question of how long the world's leading power can remain its largest borrower.
... The budget he (the President) submitted to Congress this month proposes record spending of $3.8 trillion for 2011. Taxes in next year's budget will support only $2.5 trillion of that spending, leaving $1.3 trillion to be borrowed.
... It's not clear when the debt's day of reckoning will arrive. But the overall national debt over the next few years will rise to 100 percent of the gross domestic product - a level viewed as alarming by the International Monetary Fund and international economists.
The Social Security system, the biggest social spending program, has begun paying out more in benefits than it collects in payroll taxes. For the past quarter-century, Social Security had produced a surplus that helped finance the rest of the government.
Medicare, the health care program that now covers 45 million elderly and disabled people, is in worse shape. It's been paying out more than it takes in since 2008 and its trust fund is projected to run out of money in 2017.
Dealing with the two problems I raised earlier:
- As I pointed out on Thursday (at NewsBusters; at BizzyBlog), the Obama administration's latest budget artificially inflated the "baseline" level of spending by classifying hundreds of billions of dollars of items that were advertised as "temporary" last year as "permanent" (i.e., supposedly untouchable) parts of the baseline. Unwittingly or not, when Raum cited "mandatory" programs representing "commitments," he effectively let the administration get away with its baseline ruse.
- As to the concern Raum cited about the stimulus's short-term nature last year, the fact that Congress is even considering another one -- advertised as a "jobs bill" -- shows that the idea of Congress only going to the spending stimulus well one time was a pipe dream.
- Raum writes with certainty that "taxes in next year's budget (fiscal 2011) will support only $2.5 trillion of that spending." If only. As I noted last Tuesday (at NewsBusters; at BizzyBlog), the fact is that fiscal 2010 collections through four months are already over $85 billion behind fiscal 2009, even though the White House and CBO are assuming they will come in $60 and $70 billion respectively ahead of last year's total of $2.105 trillion.
- Expanding on the collections problem -- Even if receipts somehow recover to the point of matching last year, which seems less and less likely with each passing day (through nine business days, identifiable February 2010 federal receipts are trailing February 2009 by over 14%), they will have to rise by 19% in fiscal 2011 to get to the $2.5 trillion Raum cited. This gusher of money is somehow supposed to materialize even though the unemployment rate under the rosiest scenarios is expected to come down only gradually, and even though anyone who understands human behavior knows that the expected intake from next year's scheduled rise in marginal tax rates on high-income earners will be substantially less than the White House's and CBO's static analysis projections predict.
The final gripe I have with Raum's reportage is that he is admitting to something establishment press reports have avoided mentioning for decades, but most particularly during Bush 43's attempt to do something about Social Security in 2005, namely that "For the past quarter-century, Social Security had produced a surplus that helped finance the rest of the government."
What Raum is really saying is that Congress raided Social Security during all that time, leaving it with a cash shortage almost every month now that the demographic worm has turned. Thus, there is no "trust fund" with any kind of meaningful resources -- unless you consider about $2.5 trillion in IOUs from a government that is carrying over $10 trillion in other debt to actually be collectible. What was once predicted to happen in 2017 or 2018 is happening right now.
Still, the AP's writeup is sufficiently alarming that it gave rise to this comment (excerpted) at Media Bistro, where the online equivalent of a food fight erupts every time the site releases the daily cable news ratings:
Look who is agreeing with Glenn Beck. That right-leaning bastion - A.P.
It seems Glenn's warnings all these years are proving to be accepted by even part of the lame stream media.
Remember, all the lefties have been saying Glenn is Chicken Little when he started saying the same thing several years ago.

There is perfection in a can of Heinz baked beans. The contrast between the bland bean and its sweet sauce; the reassuring uniformity of a commercial recipe; the timeless design of the turquoise and black label; the perfect ratio of bean to sauce, and the way the brick-red gunge magically suspends its cargo of little haricots on the fork. Then there is the speed at which your meal will be on the table; the fact that the beans will taste just as good forked straight from the can as they will if you make the decision to dirty a saucepan, and of course the information that they are free from artificial colours, preservatives and flavours, suitable for vegetarians and for those on a gluten-free diet.
Even the figures come up to scratch: there is something quietly pleasing about the ratio of 51 per cent sauce and 49 per cent beans, as if the two had signed some sort of contract; the food police must love the 7.7g fibre, the 0.4 per cent saturated fat and the 4.7g of protein that lurks every 100g. And all of us, I'm sure, are relieved that they are still only 33p a can.
The manufacturers even tell us how to open the can, how to heat the beans in a microwave and how long they will last in the refrigerator. Then of course there is the comforting feeling that we, as consumers have the upper hand over a giant manufacturer - they change a single detail of our beloved beans, and there will be riots in the streets.
Of course, the product has its failings. If you are following the printed opening instructions (1. Place can on flat surface with tab nearest you and lift tab fully), then you can't see instructions 2 or 3; unused beans should not be stored in their can despite the fact that, all over the country there are fridges with half-eaten cans of beans festering in them; a can contains too much for one and not quite enough for two, and that it contains over 25g of sugar, which, by my reckoning, is the equivalent of about eight sugarcubes. And no matter how quickly you eat them, they still go cold by the time you get to the last forkful.
These seductive little beans also have a curious habit of bringing on bouts of onanistic prose. On toast, they are nothing short of sheer culinary genius. They are, I would argue, at their point of perfection when you can catch them just at the point when the sauce is on the verge of soaking through the bread, so that you get both slightly soggy dough yet still a hint of crispness. (There they go again.) Then there are those last few crumbs from the blackened crust, and then the final bean and its smudge of sauce. As I said, perfection.
If anyone suspects I am quietly taking the piss, they couldn't be more wrong. I just love them. I could eat beans any time of day or night. Hot or cold. On toast or not. Just so long as I can eat beans. I must say I prefer them on buttered white toast and flatly refuse to respond to well-meaning suggestions that they are even healthier on brown toast. And yet this is a quite recent development - I ate my first baked bean aged about 25.
Of course, there are other brands of commercially made beans such as Whole Earth, the Rolls-Royce of canned beans, with their apple juice, sea salt, cinnamon and dill, and an organic version that also boasts brown rice flour, tamari soy sauce and ocean kelp. They are as good as canned beans could ever be, the beans plump, the sauce more savoury than sweet and far from the gilded lilies they sound, being low in sugar and fat and having a flavour that seems more akin to home cooking. I do buy and enjoy these bells-and-whistles type of beans, and relish both their flavour and the integrity of the ingredients but I must be honest, good as they are, they are not what I want when I feel like beans on toast. Then it has to be the turquoise can.
Home-made beans in tomato sauce can be good, too, though of course they will never be quite as good as the real thing. I often bake boiled haricot, cannelini or butter beans slowly in a thick sauce of tomatoes, onions and herbs, and often throw in a sausage or two. Pork's natural affinity with beans of any sort can be something to take advantage of here. Try tucking a ham hock or lump of pancetta in among the beans, the mildly cured ham adding a smoky campfire flavour, and then you get the porky bits to pick at, too.
It was with grilled pork chops in mind that I made a sort of Chinese bean dish a couple of days ago, dark and glossy with soy, ginger and aniseed. The recipe is below. I finished it off the next day with some sausages. Which reminds me. Has anyone seen those cans of beans with little chipolata sausages in lately? Or have they gone the way of those other lost delicacies, flavoured Dairylea and Spangles?
Butter beans with mustard and muscovado
A deep cast-iron or enamelled casserole is what you need to slow-bake the beans that follow. Baked here with dark sugar, mustard and chilli, they are good for a cool spring day, with perhaps a plate of greens on the side. You don't have to stick to the butter beans I suggest - any bean, and especially the mottled maroon borlotti or round white haricot, will produce a similar, though slightly less mealy result. The oregano I used was not the usual Italian one but a heady Mexican one from the Cool Chile Company (check out www.coolchile.co.uk for mail-order details). Serves 4 as a main dish.
300g butter beans
2 medium onions
a little vegetable or groundnut oil
3 large cloves of garlic
6 tomatoes
1 or 2 large, hot chillies
1 tsp dried oregano
500ml of the bean-cooking liquor
3 tsps grain mustard
2 tsps dark muscovado sugar
to finish
a small handful of grated Pecorino or Parmesan cheese
a handful of fresh breadcrumbs
Soak the beans in cold water overnight, then bring them to the boil and simmer till tender - a good 45 minutes.
Heat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4. Peel and slice the onions and let them cook in a little vegetable or groundnut oil over a low to moderate heat until they are deep golden and soft enough to squash between your fingers. Meanwhile, peel and finely slice the garlic and add it. Quarter the tomatoes, seed and finely chop the chilli, adding them as the garlic begins to soften.
Stir in the oregano, 500ml of the cooking liquor from the beans, the mustard and the sugar. Season with a little salt, then bring to the boil, leave it to bubble for a minute or so, then cover with a lid and transfer to the hot oven. Leave the beans be for a good hour then remove the lid and sprinkle over the crumb topping, returning to the oven for about 20 minutes or till golden and bubbling.
Chickpeas with soy and anise
Baked beans with a Chinese note, deeply flavoured with liquorice. The recipe is far from authentic, but none the worst for that. I served it with grilled pork chops and sausages, though it would be just the job for baked gammon, too. Some greens alongside, perhaps pak choi in oyster sauce, would be appropriate. Serves 4 as a side dish.
250g chickpeas
vegetable or groundnut oil
3 small medium onions, peeled and roughly chopped
6 cloves of garlic
a thumb-sized piece of ginger
3 tbsps dark soy sauce
1 tbsp dark muscovado sugar
2 small, hot chillies
500ml vegetable stock (I suggest Marigold vegetable bouillon)
6 star anise
to finish
1 tsp cornflour
2 tsps water
Soak the chickpeas overnight in cold water, then drain them and bring them to the boil in a change of water. Turn them down to a rolling boil and let them cook for a good 45 minutes till tender and plump.
Heat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4. Warm the oil in a casserole and add the chopped onions, letting them cook until soft and translucent. Meanwhile, peel the garlic, then peel the ginger and cut it into matchsticks, then add both to the softening onions. When they have softened a little, stir in the soy sauce, sugar and the chillies (you can leave them whole), then pour in the stock and drop in the star anise. Bring to the boil, then tip in the drained cooked chickpeas.
Bake, covered with a lid for an hour, then remove from the oven. Mix the cornflour and water to a smooth paste, then tip it into the beans and stir over a moderate heat. The sauce will thicken slightly.

Coming off a good showing at last week's Stanford Nike Invitational, the Nevada softball team heads to Southern California this week to compete in the Gaucho Classic in Santa Barbara.
Nevada will take on in-state rival UNLV, Houston, San Diego in the event along with a pair of games against the host school, UC Santa Barbara.
All five of this weekend's games will have GameTracker coverage to go along with free audio streaming at NevadaWolfPack.com.
This will be the only meeting between Nevada and UNLV this season before the rivalry becomes a conference series next season in the Mountain West. Houston is ranked 23rd in the nation and will be the second ranked foe the Wolf Pack has played this year (split with then-No. 8 Stanford last week). Nevada will play USD five times this season -- once this week and once next week at a tournament in San Diego before the Toreros come to Reno for the Wolf Pack Classic in March.
This week's five-game slate will feature free audio streaming at NevadaWolfPack.com.
The next radio broadcast for the Wolf Pack softball team will be in April when San Jose State comes to Hixson Park for a three-game WAC set.
Nevada went 2-3 last week at the Stanford Nike Invitational but it was a productive weekend with a win over a Top 10 school and a come-from-behind victory to conclude play and build momentum moving forward.
The Wolf Pack fell to Pacific and Bradley to open play in the event but then run-ruled No. 8 Stanford 11-3 to conclude round-robin play. After the Wolf Pack fell to the Cardinal in the bracketed portion of the tournament, Nevada took third place by beating Pacific with a furious two-out rally in the bottom of the seventh inning. Nevada trailed 5-1 and scored six runs to beat the Tigers. The final blow was a three-run walk-off home run by Sara Parsons.
Nevada picked up the pace offensively last week and four players are carrying hitting streaks of four games or longer heading into this weekend. Sophomore Caylin Campbell has the longest streak at seven games, dating back to the season-opening event at the Aggie Stampede at UC Davis. Junior Lauren Lastrapes and sophomore Karley Hopkins each recorded a hit in all five of last weekend's games and have five-game hitting streaks. Sophomore Sara Parsons's hitting streak is at four games after her walk-off home run to beat Pacific on Sunday.
Nevada was picked to finish fifth in its final season in the Western Athletic Conference in the preseason poll, which was voted on by the coaches.
Fresno State took the top spot in the preseason poll with 44 points and three first-place votes. Hawai`i came in second, picking up two first-place votes and 42 points, followed by New Mexico State in third place with 37 points and two first-place votes. Brigham Young received the other first-place vote and came in fourth place with 35 points. Nevada was picked to finish fifth with 20 points, followed by San Jose State and Louisiana Tech tied for sixth with 17 points apiece. Utah State rounded out the poll in eighth place with 12 points.
Nevada was dealt a blow on the eve of the season when junior third baseman Erin Jones suffered a knee injury in practice. Jones is expected to miss the entire season. The junior was Nevada's lone representative on the Preseason All-WAC team after she earned second-team honors in 2011 by batting .362 with five home runs and 21 in her first season with the Pack after transferring from Sacramento State.
The Wolf Pack returns one All-Region player in sophomore shortstop Karley Hopkins. Hopkins played second base for the bulk of 2011 but will switch to shortstop in 2012 with the departure of four-year starter Danielle Patrick ... For the second straight season, the Wolf Pack will have the services of a Division I transfer. This year, Sparks native Karlyn Jones, who prepped at Spanish Spring High School along with Pack teammates Mallary Darby and Karley Hopkins, has transferred to Nevada after playing her freshman season at Pitt in 2011. Jones set a Pitt single-season and freshman record with a 1.57 earned-run average ... Nevada will be without the services of junior utility player Jayme King this season as the Fernley, Nev., native continues her treatment for a form of a cancer known as Ewing's sarcoma, which was diagnosed in the summer of 2011 ... In 2011, Nevada had two pitchers pitch in 92 percent of the innings played and just three pitchers on the roster. This year, Nevada will have five pitchers vying for time in the circle. Pitcher Bailey Brewer played in a handful of games for Nevada in 2011 before suffering a season-ending injury. She received a medical hardship from the NCAA and will be a redshirt freshman for the Wolf Pack in 2012 ... The Wolf Pack has four newcomers in 2012 including three freshmen in catcher Ashley Butera, pitcher Emily Seidel and utility player Molly McWilliams. The fourth newcomer is transfer Karlyn Jones ... The Wolf Pack will have the services of two players who redshirted last year due to injury as outfielder Sydney Jones and designated player Sam Puzey are both healthy for the 2012 season ... Nevada will play the first 20 games of the season in California at tournaments hosted by UC Davis, Stanford, UC Santa Barbara and San Diego State. The Wolf Pack won't play another game in the Golden State the rest of the year as WAC foes Fresno State and San Jose State will both travel to Reno this season.

BT chief executive Ian Livingston slipped into the footballing vernacular today ahead of the group's launch of its TV and Sports channels in the summer.
"Our pre-season training is going well," he said.
Clare Balding yesterday was the latest high-profile presenter to sign up to BT Vision, joining Jake Humphrey who will anchor its coverage of Premier League football.
Even ahead of the major launch, BT signed up an extra 21,000 customers to BT Vision in the last three months of 2012, taking the total to 770,000. That compares with the 25,000 new customers who joined Sky's television service in the same period.
But away from the razzmatazz of TV, BT's core businesses also had a strong quarter, driven by insatiable demand for better and faster broadband. Pre-tax profits in the three months to the end of December rose 7% to £675 million, well ahead of City forecasts.
Livingston said: "Solid is a very overused word but it is the right word to apply to this latest quarter. That is particularly true given the weather our engineers had to deal with."
In the three months, BT engineers went out on 1.7 million calls, 12% higher than the same period a year earlier. Virtually all that increase was down to weather-related faults.
"We had lines washed away and blown down, cabinets completely underwater, and our engineers working extra overtime and at weekends to repair the damage," Livingston said. He added that in the first nine months of its financial year, BT had recruited an extra 1000 engineers — many of them former servicemen and women — on its repair side and also on installing its £2.5 billion fibre-optic TV, broadband and phone network.
That network now passes 13 million homes and businesses, and 250,000 customers signed up to fibre-optic connections in the quarter — taking the total to 1.25 million on the high-speed service. They pay a premium monthly price, which is good news for BT's margins. Revenues for the quarter dropped, as expected, by 6% to £4.5 billion, much of the decline coming from cuts to charges the regulator has ordered the company to make.
BT shares today rose 9.9p, or 4%, to a five-year high of 258.5p. They fell to a low of 71.4p in March 2003 after BT issued a profits warning over its Global Services division.

What the Congress Gave American Jews
Forward Association, July 14, 2010
When the American Jewish Congress closes its doors — an outcome that increasingly appears imminent — there won't be many mourners saying Kaddish. Instead, the prevailing communal sentiment will probably be: "We have too many agencies; one less will not matter!"

Judaism forbids the pronunciation of God's name. What is God's name? It is not "Father," as many Christians think. Jesus' favorite identification of God was "Father." That conveys the wonderful concepts of love, nurturing, and protecting. But "father" is a title of God, not his name. The Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) is very clear in saying that God's name is yhwh/YHWH. See especially Exodus 3.13-15 NIV. Moses therein asked the angel of the LORD in the burning bush incident about God, "What is … [Read more...]
Should Jews Pronounce God's Name?
Talk About Jesus, Not Christ, to Non-Believers
Many Christians have a bad habit of talking about "Christ," instead of "Jesus," to the non-believing world. What's bad about it? It is a failure to be sensitive to other people who are not Christians, who therefore don't believe what they do about Jesus. The man's name is "Jesus." The title we apply to him is "Christ." Yes, early Christians called him "Jesus Christ" by dropping the article in the phrase "Jesus the Christ." But actually, the Apostle Paul's New Testament letters have "Christ … [Read more...]
Is Jesus God Because He Is Lord?
During antiquity, calling a man "Lord" usually was intended as no more than a polite address. On the other hand, kings were often addressed as "Lord" to signify their vested authority. Among Jews, rabbis could be called "Lord" to indicate both.The early Jewish Christians' primary creedal statement was that "Jesus is Lord." The Apostle Peter preached about it in his first sermon on the day of Pentecost following the Christ event. He proclaimed of Jesus, "let all the house of Israel know for ce … [Read more...]

Devon Sproule
- Biography

- Similar Artists
1982, Kingston, Ontario, Canada. This Virginia-based singer-songwriter began to gain good notices in the early 00s with a string of accomplished albums. Sproule was born in Canada but moved to the USA at an early age, and grew up surrounded by music and musicians on a commune in rural Virginia. She was playing guitar and performing in public by her late teens, and released an independent album (billed as Devon) in 2000. Although the self-penned material was raw and at times callow there was ample evidence of an emerging songwriting talent and a gifted guitarist. The follow-up, Long Sleeve Story, featured fuller backing and drifted firmly towards alternative pop, albeit with mixed results.
Friend and mentor Jess Balkam assisted Sproule on her first two albums, and it was through his connections that she landed a prestigious supporting slot with the Dave Matthews Band. After relocating to New York State in 2002, Sproule shed the rock leanings...

Interesting and informative video, thanks! Beats a lot of the other tutorials out there.
Hi everyone, a few instructors here at InfoSec Institute have put together a short presentation and video tutorial on how to perform a Man-In-The-Middle (MitM) attack. You can view the presentation that diagrams out how a MitM attack works:
Man In The Middle – Demystified | *InfoSec Resources
You can also view a how-to video tutorial that you can follow along with if you have a few virtual machines to play with on your local network:
Video: Man-in-the-Middle
In a pen test, it is important to learn how to do these attacks to intercept server to server communication, server to client communication, etc.
Coming soon we will demonstrate how to perform a MitM attack against SSL encrypted sessions.
Happy hacking!

Interesting and informative video, thanks! Beats a lot of the other tutorials out there.
You know what I've been hunting for and never found. An actual way to decrypt SSLv2 traffic or SSL traffic encrypted with weak (40bit) ciphers. Many tools (Nessus, etc) report these as issues but I've never actually seen any practical demonstration of the described weaknesses.
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.

This is the question that the crowds asked John the Baptist as they saw the need for things to change in the face of coming judgement.
It is a question we need to keep asking. In the face of all that's wrong in the world and in our own lives, what should we do? In the face of continuing wars, devastating natural and human-made disasters, what should we do? In the face of apparently senseless slaughter of little children and adults in Sandy Hook School in Newtown, Connecticut, USA, what should we do? In the face of so much suffering in the world, what should we do?
It's the 3rd Sunday of Advent, sometimes called Rejoicing Sunday because at least one of the Bible readings today gives reasons for joy. But how can you be joyful when grieving? Joy is not always present. Isn't it sometimes more important to weep with those who weep?
Bonnie Harr posted a prayer on Light for the Journey's Facebook Page yesterday, especially for those grieving in Connecticut, USA, but of help to many others I think. Here it is:
We are broken hearted...
we are on pins and needles...
Our minds cannot embrace
this evil in our world.
And so, we give the children
into your tender care,
and ask that you visit us
anew, to save us,
for we are crushed in spirit.
Come, O Come Emmanuel.
Weep with us here, in this
darkness, then teach us
of resurrection power and
life beyond tatters and shatters.

Hubble checks out our Galaxy's twin
Imagine you could step out of our Milky Way a few million light-years and take a look back. This is the sort of view you might see. That is because this dazzling new image from the Hubble Space Telescope is of a galaxy that is thought to resemble our own.
Known as NGC 1073, and lying 55 million light-years away in the constellation of Cetus, it is a spiral galaxy, like so many classic "star cities", but has a distinctive bar across its middle. This bar apparently denotes a galaxy that has moved on from being a bright young thing and headed into middle age. Its time of intense star formation has ended and older, red stars begin to dominate rather than younger, blue ones.
Studies show that more than two thirds of spiral galaxies in the Universe today are of the barred type whereas only a fifth showed the feature in the younger, early Universe. The star-filled bars are thought to form as gravitational density waves channel gas towards the centre of the galaxy, making new stars and possibly also feeding a supermassive black hole lying there.
The new image, taken with the NASA/ESA space telescope, shows remarkable detail in its spiral arms. Look closely and you will also see many far more distant galaxies showing up in the background. In the top left of the image can be seen a rough ring-like structure of recent star formation that hides a bright source of X-rays labelled IXO 5. Astronomers say this marks the position where a black hole and a star are orbiting each other.
Intriguingly, three bright star-like points circling the galaxy are not stars at all, but brilliant quasars sitting billions of light-years further away. Their tremendous energy comes from matter heating up and falling into supermassive black holes at their hearts.
If you visit the official Hubble site, you can see a labelled image pointing out the quasars and that X-ray source, plus a wide-angle view of NGC 1073 that will give you a sense of how lost it is in the vastness of space.

HollywoodNews.com: Having already funded research on the health of dolphins affected by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the Betty White Wildlife Rapid Response Fund will now help the rare saiga antelope in Kazakhstan. More than 12,000 critically endangered saiga antelopes were found dead in western Kazakhstan in May of this year.
"Everyone knows how much I love dogs and cats, but wildlife species have a special place in my heart, too," said Betty White. "It is such an honor to contribute to a fund that can rapidly address wildlife health needs in times of crisis."
The rapid response fund, established by Morris Animal Foundation in honor of longtime trustee Betty White, will begin supporting Fauna & Flora International's efforts to study this rare and beautifully unique antelope in Kazakhstan. Saigas have experienced one of the fastest declines recorded for mammals in recent decades: a 95 percent decrease in population over the past 20 years. This distinctive-looking antelope, which has a large, trunk-like nose that hangs over its mouth, once numbered in the millions and migrated in herds up to 100,000 strong across the plains of Central Asia and Russia. Sadly, the species has dwindled to about 80,000 globally since the early 1990s.
Morris Animal Foundation established the Betty White Wildlife Rapid Response Fund to give wildlife researchers timely monetary aid to respond to unexpected events, such as natural disasters and emerging diseases, which result in the immediate need for animal health research. The Foundation is one of the only organizations in the world funding health-specific research for wild species. Since 1967, Foundation-funded research has advanced the health of our planet's wildlife — and, in some cases, has ensured the very survival of a species.

Mel Gibson rants fueling new crop of comedy bits
By Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith
HollywoodNews.com: At least Mel Gibson's making some people happy. With every new rant tape release, there's been a new crop of comedy bits on TV, radio, internet and, well, most anywhere people are being funny. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger got into the act, with the AP reporting that the California Governor told a group of utility commissioners in Sacramento that it looks as though BP has capped the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico, but "no one has figured out how to contain Mel Gibson." The fake Anger Management classes that have been spliced together featuring Gibson, Christian Bale and Alec Baldwin in full tilt fury are a newer twist to the half dozen or so Gibson- Bale-Baldwin phony phone calls out there.
All of which should serve as a cautionary note to celebrities everywhere: these days, if you're recorded while screaming, it will never, ever go away. And you could find yourself in bad company, too. Just ask Kanye West, Michael Richards, Will Arnett, Glenn Beck, Lily Tomlin, Seth Green and Matt Damon, who are among the regulars in Celebrity Rant mashups on You Tube.
Too bad no one was around with a recorder when Paris Hilton had a temper tantrum in the middle of a restaurant while dining with Pam Anderson – because no one was reading the menu to her highness.
Or when Russell Crowe was so bent out of shape over his Manhattan hotel room phone not working, he ripped it out of the wall, went downstairs and hurled it at the concierge.
Or when Madonna went into a rage on the set of a Britney Spears video in which she co-starred, because her costume didn't fit. If only that tape were available.

Twilight "Breaking Dawn" to film in Baton Rouge and Vancouver
By Kim Palacios
HollywoodNews.com: During the June 24th Red Carpet Premiere of "Eclipse", producer Wyck Godfrey leaked that he and Bill Condon were set to location scout in Louisiana for "Breaking Dawn". In all the excitement about "Eclipse", the fact that scouting was set to take place outside of the Pacific Northwest was swept under the rug. Yet, a recent press release from Summit Entertainment revived the dormant story, confirming not only that Louisiana was a location of interest, but that filming would take place in southern locales.
The press release was sparse, saying only that the final installments of the Twilight Saga would be "filmed in both Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Vancouver, [Canada] over the next year starting this fall." It went on to reiterate previously known facts, such as the November 18th, 2011 release date of the next film and confirmation that "Breaking Dawn" will be split into two.
Bringing filming to Louisiana will be a boon to the economically compromised state (and, to a lesser degree, to states along entry and exit routes that fans will use to make pilgrimages to the set). Decimated first by Hurricane Katrina, which made landfall nearly five years ago, the region's financial crisis has endured as a consequence of the massive BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. A "Breaking Dawn" filming effort will allow the region to recapture some of the lost income that came in the wake of destruction.

Maxim coverstar Olivia Munn and her best TV moments
By Andy Pemberton
HollywoodNews.com: Maxim coverstar and favorite of cable network G4 Olivia Munn has made it to The Daily Show. How did she do that? Clue: she's an incredibly hot woman who'll do anything for a laugh.
Daily Show Executive Producer Rory Albanese said it was only recently that he and host Jon Stewart discovered cable network G4's most prized possession: a hot girl who'll do anything for a laugh. "We're stuck in a hard news cycle and we're nerdy," Albanese said. "If she was on the cover of The Economist, we would have been like, 'Yes! Of course!'"
And yet last Thursday, there was Munn delivering her first reported segment on the Comedy Central show about how the BP oil spill has affected Vietnamese fisherman in the Gulf of Mexico. Stewart introduced her as the show's new "Senior Asian Correspondent."

Lenny Kravitz, Ani DiFranco headline charity concerts for Gulf Coast
Hollywoodnews.com: Lenny Kravitz is the latest music superstar to join the list of acts performing at Gulf Aid, a benefit concert scheduled for May 16 at Mardi Gras World River City that will benefit those affected by the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
So far, the list of talent includes Mos Def, Ani DiFranco, Allen Toussaint, New Orleans trumpeter Jeremy Davenport and the Voice of the Wetlands Allstars, which features Crescent City legends Dr. John, Tab Benoit, George Porter Jr., Waylon Thibodeaux, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux and Cyril Neville.

A four-year-old boy has died and a 10-year-old left injured after they were rescued from a devastating house fire.
Emergency services were called to a house in Keighley, near Bradford, just after 2pm after smoke was seen coming from a rear bedroom at the property .
The two boys had been rescued from the house by the time police arrived.
Both were taken to hospital with serious injuries from smoke inhalation, West Yorkshire Police said.
The four-year-old died but the elder boy is now recovering. His injuries are not life threatening.
The cause of the fire, which was confined to the bedroom, is being investigated.
Detective Superintendent Simon Atkinson, who is investigating the case, said: "Initial inquiries are under way with colleagues in the fire service to determine the cause of this fire and are at a very early stage.
"Clearly this has been a tragic incident in which a young child has lost his life and a full investigation will be carried out."

Tributes: Nora Ephron
Nora Ephron was many things – a screenwriter and director, responsible for "Sleepless in Seattle," "When Harry Met Sally," "You've Got Mail," and "Julie and Julia." She loved writing, and came on the show a number of times over the years for her books I Feel Bad About My Neck, and I Remember Nothing," as well as for her play, "Love, Loss & What I Wore." She was also a very funny, and very generous person, who volunteered to be on the show on the spur of the moment, should a guest cancel. But she had her priorities: one of the last times we invited her to be a guest, she said that her son was performing in a band that night, and she had to be there. She died at the age of 71. You can listen to her conversations with Leonard below.

The Rise of Online Poetry
Social media may not be the death of creativity after all. An article in The Independent explores the idea of Twitter creating a new and interesting forum for poetic expression. "Twihaiku" or "micropoetry," as the article calls the 140-character-bound nuggets, can be seen as a bridge between traditional forms of poetry and modern technology. As the story points out, even established poetry houses are on board:
The director of the Poetry Society, Judith Palmer, says: "There's a renewed interest in the form of British poetry at the moment and the constraints of the 140-character limit play to that, in the same way as the 14 lines of the sonnet or the 17 syllables of the haiku. Twitter poems tend to be playful and are often collaborative, but they're also good for 'Imagist'-style observation, or philosophical musing. They can reach a wide audience in moments but they're also ephemeral, evaporating pretty as the Twitter-feeds roll relentlessly on."
Both new and established poets like Elizabeth Alexander who has tweeted gems like:
Inside the darkened bathroom/ we looked into the black mirror/ cracked the wintergreen candy/ watched sparks fly from our teeth.
are partaking in the fun. British poet Alison Brackenbury even credits the medium for new fans and editing skills:
I have warmed to Twitter as a way of spreading good poetry. I post lines from my breakfast reading, as well as writing original poems that are now migrating to a printed anthology. Writing in 140 characters has taught me to slash sentences; it offers a public home for private passions, such as bicycles and bumblebees. Twitter can also market poetry in the most unexpected ways. Someone recently bought my new collection, Then, after reading my tweet poem about the snail in my bathroom.

Nyden April 20, 2013 Story Share The Associated Press This Feb. 14, 2013, photo shows the disabled Carnival Lines cruise ship Triumph being towed to harbor off Mobile Bay, Ala. An engine fire knocked out power on the ship, leaving passengers to endure filthy conditions as the ship was towed to port. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Cruises across oceans, along rivers and inside bodies of water like the Gulf of Mexico and the Mediterranean Sea are popular among tourists throughout the world.Cruises are also raising increasing concerns, in the wake of recent accidents that led to passenger deaths and serious environmental contaminations.Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., who chairs the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, has been holding Senate hearings and investigations into problems and public concerns about cruise lines.Rockefeller recently directed special attention to "90 marine-casualty incidents that the Coast Guard has investigated onboard Carnival Corporation-owned cruise ships" over the past five years.Last month, Rockefeller mentioned problems related to the Carnival Dream, a cruise ship that got stranded in a Caribbean port without power with thousands of passengers trapped onboard.Rockefeller also expressed concerns about the recent Carnival Triumph engine room fire that left more than 4,000 passengers and crew members stranded at sea in February, enduring "unbearable living conditions."Since that fire which disabled the ship's main power lines and left it dead in the water, Carnival has canceled 26 different voyages on the Triumph.Two voyages, scheduled to begin on June 3 and June 8, were cancelled on Friday. Carnival also announced it is moving the Triumph from Mobile, Ala. to the Bahamas to complete needed repair work.Carnival officials announced this week that they would spend $300 million on a program to improve fire safety and engine rooms and add generators to the company's 24 cruise ships.Carnival said the first phase of improvements involves installing an additional emergency generator on every ship to ensure operation of safety equipment and services like plumbing, fresh water and elevators in a power loss, The Associated Press reported. The extra temporary generators will eventually be replaced by permanent generators.Carnival is also installing high-pressure upgraded water mist systems on all ships to improve fire safety. All of those measures will be completed in 18 months, Carnival CEO Gerry Cahill said in a phone call Wednesday, the AP reported.In February, the U.S. Coast Guard spent nearly $780,000 responding to the Carnival Triumph problems. Initially, Carnival also declined to reimburse the Coast Guard for those expenses.After learning Carnival reversed its position and promised to reimburse the government for those expenses, Rockefeller said, "I'm glad to see that Carnival owned up to the bare minimum of corporate responsibility by reimbursing federal taxpayers for these two incidents."I am still committed to making sure the cruise industry as a whole pays its fair share in taxes, complies with strict safety standards, and holds the safety of its passengers above profits."Rockefeller asked for detailed information about Carnival's cruise ship problems in a March 14 letter he sent to Micky Arison, CEO and chairman of the board of directors of Carnival Corp. "I see no evidence that the company has undertaken any meaningful course of corrective action to improve its safety record," Rockefeller wrote to Arison. "It seems that Carnival has failed to take any meaningful course of action after these continual incidents. This needs to change."Ted Lawson, CEO of National Travel in Charleston, said, "Overall, the cruise lines have done very well and have served the vacationing public very well."Carnival is the company that made cruising available to Middle America. Back in the 1980s, they are the ones who created the fun ships. Bob Dickerson, their president at the time, was very consumer-oriented," Lawson said. But he acknowledged Carnival has "had some misfortunes" of late."Fortunately, no one lost their lives on the Triumph. There were 4,000 people on board," Lawson said. "These things will happen if you are not constantly vigilant about maintenance and back-up systems."He said National Travel in Charleston sells a lot of cruises on Carnival and Princess, another cruise line also owned by Carnival.Joann Lambert, whose husband George owns Jolly Travelers in St. Albans, said that in the wake of recent problems, her company did not get enough travelers for an upcoming trip that included a cruise. "People got scared," she said, referring to recent problems by cruise lines.But Lambert said, "We will schedule another one next year. We are not worried about it." Cruises promoted by Jolly Travelers often send people to several different islands in the Caribbean. "Anything can happen on any of them [trips and cruises]," Lambert said.Cruise industry revenues top $25 billion a year, Rockefeller recently pointed out. Nearly 13 millions Americans go on cruises every years."A unique and complex set of rules governs the operations of the ship and the safety of passengers. I believe that these rules work to protect the companies rather than their passengers," Rockefeller said during a March 2012 Senate hearing.Rockefeller also believes the federal government should do more to protect "the fragile ocean environment in which [cruise ships] operate."He asked "why an industry that earns billions and uses a variety of federal services - from the Coast Guard, to the Customs Bureau, to Centers for Disease Control - pays almost no corporate income tax? ... It is inconceivable to me that this industry doesn't pay its fair share."Christine Duffy, president and CEO of the Cruise Lines International Association, defended the industry during a March 2012 hearing before the Senate Commerce Committee, emphasizing its local economic impacts.CLIA, Duffy said, "represents 26 major cruise lines serving North America, more than 16,000 affiliated travel agents ... and 120 executive partners spanning a broad array of industries - from ports to food suppliers" working with the industry."In the decade from 2001 through 2011," Duffy testified, "prior to the grounding of the [Carnival] Costa Concordia, there were a total of 28 fatalities on cruise ships related to an operational casualty."Twenty-two of those fatalities involved crew members," Duffy added. "Six were passengers out of approximately 223 million passengers and crew who sailed during those 10 years."Rockefeller believes the cruise ship industry has "unconscionable" environmental policies."Our children and grandchildren deserve an ocean environment free of trash, sewage and hazardous materials. The industry needs to do more to protect the environment for future generations," Rockefeller said during the March 2012 Senate hearing.The environmental group Friends of the Earth warns that cruise ships are routinely "dumping large amounts of sewage and other wastes into our oceans, polluting our beaches, contaminating our coral reefs, and destroying our valuable marine ecology.""Millions of Americans take cruise vacations every year. Yet, most travelers don't realize that taking a cruise is more harmful to the environment and human health than many other forms of travel," the group stated last year.During a one-week cruise, a large ship hosting more than 7,000 passengers produces about 210,000 gallons of human sewage, FOE states, the equivalent of 10 backyard swimming pools. That ship also produces four times as much water polluted from sinks, showers, laundry facilities and other activities on board.Friends of the Earth publishes its "Cruise Ship Environmental Report Card" every year. The latest report, dated 2012, ranks 15 cruise lines. Disney Cruise Line tops the list with an A-minus rating.FOE gives Carnival Cruise Lines a grade of D-plus. Princess Cruises and Costa Cruises, both subsidiaries of Carnival, earned ratings of B-plus and F, respectively. (The annual report is available at www.foe.org/cruise-report-card. Friends of the Earth also published a report called "Getting a Grip on Cruise Ship Pollution," which is also available on its website.)Lawson loves the cruise industry, but hopes it begins paying more attention to potential problems."I like inclusive cruise vacations, where resorts include everything. The thing I really like about cruising is that you visit another port every day. It is exciting."He wants cruise companies, like Carnival, to spend more time trying to prevent future mishaps."Why didn't they think about this [potential problems] before? U.S. citizens are the biggest cruisers of all. Carnival is making a lot of money and providing great memorable vacations. But you have to make sure you take care of every detail every time."Reach Paul J. Nyden at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5164.

Start Prepping: Get Prepared – For Life
by Tim Young – Book Review
Naturally, as a blogger within the survival and preparedness niche, I have a keen interest in all things related to it. This often means reading books related to the field and having read quite a few so far, I have seen all kinds (good, bad, and indifferent).
One of the things that I often struggle with when reading preparedness related books is the fact that some seem to be aimed toward the beginner or veteran but to a fault.
What I mean by this is that prepping books aimed at beginning preppers can be so simplified that you don't get much out of them and vice versa, the book for the prepping veteran can be so advanced that if you don't have an engineering degree, you won't be able to accomplish any of the projects discussed.
Having said all of that, the latest book that I read, Start Prepping!: Get Prepared – For Life, the newest of several books from Tim Young of the website, selfsufficientman.com. It is a great book that I feel everyone can get something out of. I can honestly say that I was impressed as soon as I got through the introduction because it created buy-in on the part of the reader right away.
Instead of telling me why I should like the book, the introduction demonstrated to me why the information in the book is important to me and made me believe that prepping was indeed in my best interest.
Tim takes the time to educate his readers. I appreciate the fact that he spends time pointing out that preparedness is not an activity that only on the fringe lunatics participate in, almost everyone is a prepper! Tim outlines that you might be a prepper if you:
- Carry a spare tire in your car.
- Have a life insurance policy.
- Ever practiced an emergency drill (fire, earthquake, etc.).
- Take a diaper bag with you when you go out with a baby.
That last one really does drive home the fact that being prepared is not only a normal activity, it is one that we should all do. After all, if you have a baby that you are responsible for, you know that not every time you leave the house that the baby is going to need a bottle or pacifier…but you darn well better bring it because you know there is a chance you will need it and you want to be ready if you do. Why? Because it is really painful to navigate life with a crying baby and no way to calm them down.
So it can be said for navigating a natural disaster and not having water, food, a safe place to stay, and so on and so on. Yes, there are people on TV who are "preppers" that do outrageous things but that is for ratings and certainly does not reflect the prudence that people exercise when making sure that they have an option other than relying on the government or certain death when facing a disaster.
The guiding principle throughout Start Prepping! is that of the 10-Step Path to Preparedness which lays out 10 steps that can be combined together that will result in a very solid foundation for any prepper. From water storage to obtaining additional skills, Start Prepping! covers everything that the veteran or novice prepper needs to ensure their plan is complete.
A definite selling point for me is the fact that each chapter stands alone from the others. Because of the 10-Step approach, you can read the chapter on food storage and get a wealth of information on that specific topic that you can use without having to have read the chapter on water.
Another great thing that I liked about Start Prepping! is the fact that Tim does not just write a chapter about a subject and leave it at that. Integrated into each chapter there is a 'Checkpoint' or 'Challenge' where Tim has a couple of questions to ponder or points to help you take the information and move forward with it.
Start Prepping! is not only relevant, it is well put together. I told you that the introduction alone has me sold on reading the book but it is also so logical in how Tim put it together. I can tell that this is not the first book he has written, that much is true. I enjoyed that, while I can read the book out of order, if reading from the beginning the reader will gain a great understanding of why to prep, the threats that make prepping relevant (there are more than you would imagine), and the steps that every prepper should take to get prepared.
This book is great for new preppers or those who are thinking about getting into prepping. It would be a great gift for a friend or family member who you know is not prepared or needs a plan to help get them on the right track.
I probably need to make the best point of all…isn't a few dollars spent on this book worth far more if the information in it results in you, your loved ones, and friends being the best prepared they can be for a disaster? It's a great return on your investment and I am confident that you will not be disappointed with Start Prepping!.
Lastly, the listed resources that Tim has included with his book are so valuable that it is worth the price of admission without including the numerous tips, tricks, and pointers sprinkled throughout the book. Don't miss the prepper challenges and lists at the end of the book!
There really is no way to outline how much help this book will help actually you in just a blog post, but I know that it will be worth your time and money.
You can view every title by Tim Young on Amazon or his website.

The next wave includes Wilin Rosario, a catcher with plus power and arm strength who made his MLB debut in September, and Nolan Arenado, who led the minors with 122 RBI this year. Arenado just concluded a tour in the Arizona Fall League that saw him hit .388/.423/.636 with 6 HR and 33 RBI, take home MVP honors, and draw glowing reports from those in attendance (here's a scouting report from Adam Foster of Project Prospect). Rosario is still playing in the Dominican Winter league, where he has 21 hits, 6 HR, and a league-leading 26 RBI.
If there's one player in the Rockies system to get excited about, it's Arenado. Rosario will likely open 2012 as the Rockies starting catcher, whereas Arenado is still yet to face Double-A pitching and therefore not currently in line for a big league job out of Spring Training. Rockies General Manager Dan O'Dowd had this to say of Arenado, "He has changed our thinking in regards to third base." Foster has spent the last month showering the kid with praise and there is no better compliment than being compared to Albert Pujols (or even Bryce Harper for that matter):
Arenado has an uncanny knack for getting his hands through the ball. I see some Pujols in him. I really do. If Arenado doesn't wind up being a well-above-average MLB hitter, I'll be surprised. Throw in potential average or better defense at third base and you have one of the top prospects in baseball. It wouldn't shock me if he ends up having a better career than (Bryce) Harper, not in the slightest. - Foster
Sometime late next season or in 2013, Arenado will make his MLB debut joining Rosario and Troy Tulowitzki in the Rockies infield and giving the Rockies three two-way players at premium positions who all possess plus power. "That's the beauty of young players. You don't know what their timetable is going to be," O'Dowd said. "[Arenado] is pushing the envelope in many ways." Given that Carlos Gonzalez is a superstar locked up with a deserved superstar contract and young outfielders like Charlie Blackmon, Tim Wheeler, and Corey Dickerson are in the system and on the way, the expectation is that going forward the Rockies shouldn't have trouble scoring runs like they did in 2011 when the club scored the second fewest runs in the franchise's 19-year history.
In other words, only the '94 Rockies scored fewer runs than the club did this year. Also in '94, the club was being managed by Don Baylor, their catcher was Joe Girardi and shortstop was Walt Weiss. Marvin Freeman led the team in WAR with a 4.0 mark as he posted a 179 ERA+ and finished 4th in the Cy Young voting despite only making 18 starts.
The point is that this franchise has come a long way from 1994 and within a year and a half the lineup is going to include names like Tulowitzki, Gonzalez, Arenado, and Rosario. Depending on how that lineup is filled out, the outcomes range from good to great. If the Rockies young pitchers are still standing when this lineup fills out, the club could finally be in line for sustained success.

Important facts
The Amish people belong to the protestant Christian group of
Anabaptists. The Amish people are known as the people who gave up
modern technology e.g. cars, telephones and sometimes even
buttons on their clothes. The Amish men wear black, black jacket, pans
and a hat. The women wear a dress and a bonnet. The Amish talks a
south German dialect called Pennsylvanian Dutch or Pennsylvanian
German. It is possible to turn in to an Amish, but it doesn't happen
The Amish can't marry one who's not Amish. Amish marry Amish and
that's that the way it is. Some Amish are dissatisfied with that, and they
even cross the law because they love someone outside the Amish. If
you love someone outside the Amish and want to marry him or her you
can be thrown out.
Today the Amish people live in 24 of the American states, in Canada,
Central America and South America. In USA there is 230.000 Amish.
In the 1900 there were 33.000 Amish and today there are 250.000. The
Amish women get in average 7 children. Those are a lot and explain
the rise of People from 1900 till today.
The Amish do not have a church. They take it in turns to hold church in
their homes. Every second Sunday there will be a get together
somewhere in the community. The home that is going to hold the
church will be very busy Saturday cleaning and cooking. Sunday
morning the families arrive and the women go to the kitchen and help
while the man unhitch the horse and put it in the barn. Men and
women are not in the same room during the service. The service could
take up to four hours. The ministers will preach and thy sing a lot but
without music.'

Where is Osama? He's in a cartoon, at Sundance
By Mary Milliken
PARK CITY, Utah (Reuters) - After years of watching Osama bin Laden in grainy television footage, audiences have a chance to see a less chilling version of the al Qaeda leader -- as a cartoon character dancing to rap music and a video game villain.
That's how Morgan Spurlock, director of the 2004 documentary "Super Size Me," depicts bin Laden before embarking on a mission to find the No. 1 U.S. enemy in his film "Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden?" that debuted this week at the Sundance Film Festival.
Bin Laden eludes the director -- as he has the U.S. military and the CIA -- but what Spurlock finds during his tour of the Middle East is the poverty and repression that have fueled radical Islamic militancy.
Yet, many people he interviewed rejected the idea that bin Laden, who was behind the September 11 attacks, has a firm grip on the region.
"As more and more people brought up the root causes that create an Osama bin Laden and radicals around the world, it becomes obvious that he is not that important," Spurlock told Reuters at the top U.S. film festival for independent movies.
What is important, Spurlock concludes, is ending the problems that led to bin Laden gaining the leadership of al Qaeda.
"Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden?" opens in U.S. movie theaters in April. It is being released by The Weinstein Co., whose chief, Harvey Weinstein, paid around $2 million to acquire distribution after seeing just 15 minutes of footage.
Spurlock made a splash at Sundance with "Super Size Me," winning a directing award for his one-man assault on McDonald's in which he eats the fast food giant's meals for 30 days in a row and documents his weight gain and deteriorating health. Continued...
