A gathering of over five hundred people, including pastors, deacons, deaconesses and other lay leaders, pack into the Moliambo church building. Palm frond shade covers sheltered those forced to sit outside.
Pastor Mulama introduces the first day of the retreat with a special emphasis on the church and development in the villages where we live.
Philo Bidimbu shares with deacons and deaconesses how they can be forces for life-giving change in their villages.
Pastors from the 14 different congregations in the Moliambo area take in Philo's presentation.
I was again surprised at the enthusiasm of offering times. Offerings in rural churches often include agricultural produce -- here newly harvested corn.
Yesterday was the first day of the retreat. More than 500 adults packed into the long, narrow cement-block building with a tin roof – the Moliambo center church. This was a remarkable show of enthusiasm from people who (from all reports) have been discouraged by church leaders and the difficulties of life. Someone asked Pastor Mulama, "How did you get so many people to actually respond to an invitation?" It's a mystery even to him. But it is clear that many people hunger for renewal in their churches.
But we even saw signs of unexpected and encouraging openness
as we drove into Moliambo yesterday morning.
The last four or five kilometers the road winds down through red-clay
hills to the church center. We found
villagers out in force, fixing the road, and hardly anyone asked for a handout. This is unusual. Only a few days before the road had been in
very poor shape. But by 7:30 that
morning every place where heavy rains had gouged deep gullies out of the road
holes had been filled. The road was
mostly leveled and mudholes filled in.
We learned later that Pastor Mulama had met with village chiefs day before yesterday, partly
to tell them about the retreat, partly to urge them to improve the
infrastructure that is their link to the outside world.
Three of us from the Lusekele team responded to Pastor Mulama's invitation: Philo Bidimbu, whom a few of you may have met; Philippe Kikobo, ACDI's lead extension agent; and me. Philo spent an hour talking about how deacons and other lay leaders can be effective leaders of life-giving change in their congregations and villages. Philippe gave a similar message to a group of intercessors. And I talked to the gathered group about how working hard is often not enough. Farming "smart" as responsible stewards of God's land is part of the deal. I illustrated this with examples of how disease-resistant cassava can unlock opportunities that the average poor farm family doesn't even dare to hope for right now.*
What all three of us want people to understand is that God has already prepared a blessing for us and even for our non-Christian neighbors. This is a blessing that would guarantee basic food security for the average family. This is a blessing that would make it possible for every child to get a primary education and most to get a secondary education if they are motivated. This is a blessing that would make primary health care accessible to most families. Our churches can be the channel of this blessing. Personally, I hope that the resulting changes in our congregations would give us an opportunity talk about God's love, his concrete provision in our lives, and his purpose for us and for the world.
Pray for Pastor Mulama, the pastors of those 14 local congregations in the Moliambo district, and the lay people that came together for reflection this week. Pray that this is a week not just for enthusiastic worship and encouraging Christian talk. Pray that leaders will capture a vision and turn it into concrete, life-transforming action and powerful witness to the many non-Christians who live beside them.
*I have said this before. Mosaic-resistant, high-yielding varieties can double or triple cassava yields in central Bandundu province. A typical family could move from having a surplus of about 14 sacs (about $130 worth) each year to having from 45 to 80 sacks of surplus (worth $400 to $720 a year). Yet there are still literally hundreds of villages in our working area who know practically nothing about the blessing that God is offering farm families.

Is Missoula experiencing a post-Sept. 11 baby boom? The buzz around town suggests that people are seeing greater numbers of pregnant women in Missoula than is usual for this time of year.
According to statistics for the last five years, the number of births each year in Missoula typically increases from April through June, and again in September and October. During these peak periods at Missoula's Community Hospital the obstetrics staff delivers an average of 130 to 155 babies each month. Overall, about1,500 babies are born at Community Hospital each year. According to Madalyn Crouch, clinical manager for Women's and Children's Services at Community Hospital, the average number for the year to date has remained relatively stable.
"March was an unusually slow month, so that brought the average down a little," says Crouch. "But if the average stays high (around 155 births each month) for the next few months that might cause an increase" in the average yearly birth rate.
Right now, experts say it's too early to know for certain what will happen. If a baby boom is occurring, it is just beginning now. Crouch suggests we check back with her in a few months.
Dolly Browder, a local midwife, says from her experience that the numbers of expectant mothers in Missoula in June and July this year may be high but "blips [in the numbers of births] happen for a lot of different reasons. This year is not unusual." The staff at Missoula Ob-Gyn Associates, a collective association of midwives at Fort Missoula, says the numbers of pregnant women they are caring for is "at the high end of average."
Asked if psychological stress from the tragic events of Sept. 11 might cause a baby boom, Dr. David Stroebel, dean of the graduate program in psychology at the University of Montana, says that in a rural town like Missoula the increase in birth rates is unlikely to be large enough to infer Sept. 11 was the cause. Dr. Stroebel suggests that greater sampling of birth rates in rural towns across the country, especially in comparison to birth rates in New York City, might show trends that cannot be seen locally.
He points out that in some cases of physical stress, it has been shown that human fecundity increases—to a point. However, if the stress become too harsh hormonal cycles shut down and populations tend to decrease. Evidence shows that the cyclical patterns of the seasons can greatly affect human reproductive rates. In northern climates the longer nights and a greater tendency to stay indoors in fall and winter months often causes an increase in summer and autumn birth rates the following year.

24" × 40" Half Plastic Pallet
With our solid reputation for customer service we've become a leading supplier to many foodservice and beverage companies providing direct store (DSD) deliveries. The Half Plastic Pallet is an example of how we continue to look for better and more cost effective ways to make our customers more profitable and productive.
Rehrig Pacific's Half Plastic Pallet has a molded plastic deck which uses a rugged, impact-resistant, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resin which is ideally suited for harsh, cold temperature storage and repeated movement between ambient and chilled environments. Deck reinforcements provide support and stability by equally distributing the load throughout the deck and legs. The Half Plastic Pallet dimensions have been optimized to easily fit through doorways and tight aisles commonly encountered with convenient store and DSD deliveries. The highly nestable Half Plastic Pallet takes up little storage space when empty in the warehouse, trailers or backroom. In addition, the Half Plastic Pallet is ideally suited for building in-store displays.
Half Plastic Pallet allows moving product picking to the source — the production facility or distribution center, not at the retail store front. Individual store orders can be placed onto the Half Plastic Pallet and efficiently loaded by forklift into a transport trailer. Delivery drivers now have a true one-touch system reducing the number of movements required for each store. By picking product at the warehouse level, more SKU's can be efficiently handled and delivered from one truck. Productivity is further increased because more stops can be made per day which will reduce the number of routes required to deliver the same amount of goods.
Nominal Dimensions:
24.00" × 40.75" × 5.8" (61 cm × 103.5 cm × 14.7 cm)
Weight: 13.7 lb. (6.2 kg)

Rampage Jackson vs Glover
I really hope Jackson does the unexpected for this fight and goes full wrestler mode lol .. Glover is not gonna expect that coming and Jackson might be able to get the decision
in the post fight interview with Joe Rogan or Jon Anik he shud be like Lay and pray all day Joe rogan podcast by night !
BAM hype train derailed lol

It would be a hypocritical flipflop on his stance about boring wrestlers that's for sure.
I doubt he would do it or necessarily gain that much success with it.. Glover did fine against Ricco who is about the same level of wrestler that Rampage is and bigger. Also equally unmotivated and past-prime lately.
It probably would be a good idea to mix it in though and keep Glover guessing, but somehow I doubt Rampage will come off his KO addiction so easily and get back to his wrestling roots.
I doubt he would employ such a tactic. In recent years he has preferred to plod around the cage, defend take downs and try to knock out his opponent, a tactic which has been largely unsuccessful for a long time now. He is set in his ways and I highly doubt he will make any drastic changes to his style at this time.
As far as the fight with Glover goes, I think it will largely be contested on the feet with Glover mixing in a few take downs attempts of his own. Glover by decision would be my prediction.

It all depends on how Rampage shows up, but he's been on the downslide lately.
Should be an interesting watch either way, either Rampage shows up in form and gives a vintage performance, or Glover gives us another beatdown and becomes a hot prospect. I don't expect him to give a boring show like Bader did.
I'm really looking forward to Rampage vs CroCop at OneFC 11. Gonna be EPIC!
His only notable win in that time is Machida, and that was a fight the majority of fans think he lost. Rampage himself said he lost that fight. I don't see anything except a savage beating for Jackson in this fight.
I also don't see the fight at all, Jackson has made it pretty clear he just isn't into MMA much anymore, pulling out of fights, showing up out of shape. I'll believe this fight happens when I actually see him step into the Octagon.
3 Attachment(s)
It's possible. Fuel TV had a segment recently where they said Rampage got injured trying new things to mix his game up. They didn't know what these 'new things' were but it could have been wrestling. That's where a lot of injuries come from. I don't think he'll lay and pray though. If he brings the fight to the ground, he'll probably stay in guard/half guard and land bombs.
Rampage probably couldn't take Glover down, unless it was by surprise... and even then he would be completely out of his league down there.

Rachel Bilson Reportedly Expecting a Baby Girl
They're about to add a lot of pink into their household because Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen are reportedly expecting a baby girl.
According to People, sources shared that the couple is getting ready to welcome a little princess into the world.
A rep for Bilson denies the report and calls the source's claim "speculation and gossip."
This isn't surprising since the "Hart of Dixie" star and her "Star Wars" beau have remained very quiet on the pending parenthood. Neither of the actors or their reps have confirmed the news at this time.

British boy's chimney designed with Santa in mind
LONDON (Reuters) - A worried letter from six-year old Leo Park sparked a mammoth operation to test what is believed to be the world's first chimney specifically designed to accommodate Santa Claus.
The little boy's parents are having a house custom built and when Leo viewed the plans he was concerned that the chimney wasn't big enough for Father Christmas and his famous belly that shakes when he laughs like a bowl full of jelly.
As he was penning his traditional letter to Santa, Leo decided to also write a heartfelt missive about the chimney design problem to Jeremy Paxton, who owns the estate on which the new house is being built.
In childish scrawl the letter reads: "Dear Mr Paxton, I am worried that my mummy's house does not have a big enough chimney. I think Santa Claus will get stuck. Please can you help. Love Leo Park."
Paxton, founder and owner of luxury holiday home development Lower Mill Estate in the southwestern English region of the Cotswolds decided to commission a special formula to satisfy Leo's concerns.
Obviously size was the key consideration to ensure Santa won't get wedged tight on his way to stuffing the stockings and so Paxton enlisted a mathematician to take on the challenge and save the jolly old elf from turning red for the wrong reasons.
The Santa-friendly formula looked at risk factors of chimney entry, the size of St Nick's girth versus the width of the chimney at its narrowest point.
To test what they said was the perfect chimney, Paxton enlisted the help of a stand-in Santa Claus in full padded outfit, a crane, a harness and winch to put the new chimney through its paces.
Leo was invited to watch as the great experiment got underway. Continued...

Hey everyone im new here. I mostly hangout on the gun forums like gunco but have been lurking around and finaly decided to join because ive been really interested in diesel conversions and wvo stuff lately.
Anyways I have in my posession one 1995 cherokee with ax15 transmission "2wd" and one mercedes 300sd and I wanna do the swap....but i have a few questions
1. Can i pull this off with no lift kit by getting the drop pitman arm and doing some oil pan mods?
2. How should I do the engine mounts?
3. How can i make the jeep ac compressor work with this engine?
I know I'm gonna have more questions but cant think of any more at the moment, also my reason for wanting to do this conversion is i want improved mpg and to eventually do a WVO system. I got the 2wd version because it was the only 5 spd cherokee i could find and it was only $800.
I dont plan on taking this thing off road anywhere where i would need 4wd and i really like stick shift boxy shaped suv's like my 88 trooper.
Feel free to correct me on anything cuz i'm no expert on this stuff.

2014 JGC Uconnect 13.48.3 + iPhone 7.0.4 = no Bluetooth pairing
Just got my 2014 JGC back from dealer due to the N58 safety recall. They updated software for both transmission TCM and Uconnect up to 13.48.3.
I can no longer get EITHER my wife's iPhone 5 or my iPhone 5c to pair with Uconnect via Bluetooth. Both phones are up to date with iOS 7.0.4.
I put the Uconnect screen into phone mode, settings, add phone. Then I turn on my phone's bluetooth and select Uconnect under devices. Same thing every time:
On iPhone - "Pairing Uncuccessful" Make sure "Uconnect" is turned on, in range, and is ready to pair.
I've also tried turning the phone's bluetooth on and off during the pairing, and tried to do the pairing in reverse order (disable then enable iPhone bluetooth.... THEN put the Uconnect screen into pairing mode). No dice.
I called Uconnect service and, to put it mildly, they were less than helpful.
Anyone had this problem and found a solution? I'd rather not roll back my iPhone to an older (less secure) software version.
Re: 2014 JGC Uconnect 13.48.3 + iPhone 7.0.4 = no Bluetooth pairing
Re: 2014 JGC Uconnect 13.48.3 + iPhone 7.0.4 = no Bluetooth pairing
Works fine on my iPhone with 7.0.4 bring it back to the dealer and make them figure it out since it worked before you brought it in.
Same thing happened to me.. Bluetooth audio stopped working for me after the software update.. Another annoying glitch with this SUV.. My text messaging doesnt work either with the Uconnect. Dont they know most people have freaking IPhones!
I would try holding down power and home buttons to rest your iPhone. I had this happen once, but after I rest the iPhone, I didn't have that problem. It's worth a try, and easier/faster than reloading the Uconnect software.

Katherine Dunham At 91
New York, NY —From Hawaii to Haiti, from Malaysia to the Maori people of New Zealand, Katherine Dunham was the first American choreographer to bring native dances and primitive rhythms to the 1930's concert stage. She incorporated the discipline of ballet with the panache of Broadway, and then went onto Hollywood where she created the dances for several movies-- notably the 1943 classic ?Stormy Weather? where she appeared with Fats Waller, Cab Calloway and... Lena Horne.
Dunham founded a dance company which-- though it never received any grants-- toured 57 countries-- a large group of dancers, singers, full orchestra lavish sets and wardrobe. It wasn?t unusual for her to make 5 costume changes for the curtain calls. Underneath the glamorous spectacle, she strove to maintain the essence of what she had observed as an anthropologist? She describes her first full length ballet, L?Ag?Ya, created in 1938, in which she was the lead.
DUNHAM: ??Dancing with my lover and then I become hypnotized under the influence of a wicked person. He plays on so many village superstitions which I found as I was travelling through the West Indies.?
Three generations of dancers are the repositories of Dunham roles... One of the oldest surviving members of her company, who?s now one of the few accredited teachers in Dunham technique, is Walter Nicks. At City Center last week, he gave the school teachers a good deal of background of much of Dunham's work and described her performance in L'Ag?Ya --where she is mesmerized by the magician-- as chilling.
NICKS: ?You could see in Ms. Dunham? She was doing all these erotic movements... She was saying this isn't about sexuality? This is what he is doing to me...?
At the center of this ballet is a fighting dance from Martinique.
DUNHAM: ?It?s half way between Sumo or martial arts? Two men compete over a magic object which is called the gris-gris?? DUNHAM: ?Much of my study has been done with a serious scientific approach? Martinique has this black magic undercurrent... most people don?t admit it.?
Dunham studied anthropology at the University of Chicago, and did her early fieldwork in the Caribbean. The locals liked her because she could dance. Her mentor --the noted anthropologist Melville Herskovits-- didn?t anticipate she?d allow herself to become a Voodoo Priestess?
DUNHAM: ?Herskovits himself was horrified when he found out that I?d gone into the initiation process??
It was important to her to experience the ritual.
DUNHAM: ?I went in naked. I had to record it all in my head. I had to be free to receive what they gave me. I had to be like everyone else.? Dunham continued her anthropology when she toured internationally with her company. She performed less often at home, although she opened a school in New York in 1945. Walter Nicks was one of the first students. In addition to many kinds of dance he studied... NICKS: ??Academic subjects, philosophy, languages, art, Haitian and Cuban folklore??
The school has long been closed, and one of the purposes of the unique in-service training course, held last week at City Center, was for the surviving members of Dunham?s company to talk about their work and pass on Dunham?s technique. Mor Thiam from Senegal, who'd been chief drummer with Dunham for 35 years?
THIAM: ?When Katherine Dunham came to Africa, I knew I had to find a way to relate to her, so I played her a universal beat-it?s the human heartbeat...?
Many of the classroom teachers had studied Dunham indirectly-- reading books, watching videos? Here they could learn exercises and do group improvisations. Molly Christie was hungry for more.
CHRISTIE: ?People my age have found it hard to learn about this technique. I read about her since I was 12. I love the fact that it?s so global? I've gone to Brazil to study? I want to go with Mor Thiam, the chief drummer here, tonight to Senegal.?
In a wheelchair, Dunham greeted the teachers each time they met, with an energizing ritual of strong arm movements, responding to their singing?
There was a table set out for her with symbolic gifts. She was called a griot-- for passing on tribal histories and legends, and a pioneer and a respected elder of the African-American community-- much adulation. So, why is the length and breadth of this career not better known? Dunham was a contemporary of Martha Graham. Both devised distinctive dance vocabularies. I asked Hollywood producer and choreographer Debbie Allen?
ALLEN: ?The reason Dunham is not as renowned, is because she?s a Black woman. Otherwise she?d be on a level-- if not more than Martha Graham-- she's the mother of African-American dance-- if you want to give her a title.?
After the week was over, from her bed in her retirement home, Dunham said she was shocked in a good way, by how much the teachers had accomplished. But she doesn?t want to be seen as simply part of a study of Black history?
DUNHAM: ?Afro-American studies are important but there?s so much more to the world? I won?t be happy until the whole thing becomes global.?
Elements of Dunham?s work will become part of the New York public school system curriculum. She hopes the spirit, more than the steps, will be present in gyms and classrooms?
For WNYC, I?m Judith Kampfner.

I'm your host, Claudio, and I look forward to having you at my B&B.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?
The location is ok, central. Although we are usually not that critical: the service was in one word poor, we felt very unwelcome, maybe the host had a bad week? He didn't give us any practical explanation on the house, hasn't even asked us once 'how are you' or anything minimal. The b&b was also very noisy. One bathroom was very dirty and smelled bad. The other one had a key that didn't work well, so we got caught several times in the bathroom for ten minutes. The breakfast: the milk and the juice were sour, need i go on? I really hate writing this, but i just want to be honest for other people.
Anyway, it certainly didn't ruin our vacation because we never spend lots of time inside: Alghero is very nice and the (other) people are as well!

Jailed South Florida Marine To Appear In Mexican Court
The South Florida Marine sergeant jailed in Mexico goes to court Wednesday to appear before a Mexican judge.
Andrew Tahmooressi has been in jail in Mexico since April 1st when he crossed the border in possession of weapons that are illegal in that country.
Tahmooressi will have his first opportunity to explain to a judge that improper road signage caused him to take the wrong ramp as he was heading to San Diego for treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.
The Marine's mother, Jill Tahmooressi, of Weston, Florida, says she is hoping a border agent who can corroborate her son's story will show up in court.
That, she says, could potentially lead the Mexican judge to dismiss all charges against Sergeant Tahmooressi.
Jill Tahmooressi, though, says she realizes that is highly optimistic, since her son's new attorney has informed the family that the entire judicial process could take as long as six months.
In fact, an evidentiary hearing has already been pre-scheduled for August 4th.

Stepping out to promote their new movie, the stars of "The Croods" headed to the premiere at AMC Loews Lincoln Square 13 theater in New York City on Sunday (March 10).
Smiling with a furry sloth character, Emma Stone looked pretty in a short, cap-sleeved black-and-white dress with flesh-toned heels, while her hunky costar Ryan Reynolds donned a black jacket, white shirt, and dark pants.
Kicking off the day with some media duties, Emma Stone and Nicolas Cage showed up at a photocall for their new flick "The Croods" in Berlin, Germany today (February 15).
The "Amazing Spider-Man" babe and her "Face/Off" costar both seemed happy to see their fans and press gathered as they posed for pics as part of the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival.
Everyone loves a good animated flick, and "The Croods" has just dropped a super-fun promotional trailer for all to enjoy.
The DreamWorks production will hit theaters on March 22nd, 2013, providing a welcome break in the winter blahs.
Millennium Films released the trailer for "Stolen," which stars Nicolas Cage as a master thief who needs to steal $10 million.
In the Simon West directed flick, upon the 48-year-old character's release from prison, he needs to come up with the cash to pay ransom for his teenage daughter.
Making for quite the grand night in China, a handful of Hollywood's top names joined together to attend the Montblanc International Gala to celebrate the official opening of its new and biggest concept store in the world at the Montblanc Sanlitun in Beijing on Friday (June 1).
Lovely actresses Jessica Alba and Naomi Watts were among those adding their star power to the Asian concept store soiree as they joined Montblanc International CEO Lutz Bethge at the JW Marriott Hotel held function.
It's certainly not an accomplishment in which he'll be bragging about, as Adam Sandler has set a new record by amassing a hefty eleven nominations for the 32nd Annual Golden Raspberry Awards.
Created to "honor" the worst in movies, the Razzies announced this year's contenders on Saturday night (February 25) with Sandler garnering the numerous bids thanks to his acting in "Jack & Jill" and "Just Go With It" along with a Worst Picture nomination as producer of "Bucky Larson: Born To Be a Star".
Delivering the latest installment of the action/thriller, "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" has made its way into theaters (February 17).
Starring Nicolas Cage, Ciaran Hinds, Fergus Riordan, Violante Placido, and Johnny Whitworth, the film follows Johnny Blaze as he hides out in a remote part of Eastern Europe where he's recruited by a secret sect of the church to save a young boy from the devil.
Utilizing her musical talents to kick off the show, Zooey Deschanel offered up a sweet song to begin her hosting efforts on yesterday's (February 11) episode of "Saturday Night Live".
The "New Girl" actress' monologue saw her greet the studio audience and viewers at home with a ditty about the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday - with the lyrics based upon the unfortunate situation in which only one half of a couple remembers the lovers' holiday is taking place.
He's always up for a good time, and yesterday (January 29) Nicolas Cage was spotted unveiling his new wax figure in Paris, France.
The "National Treasure" actor looked impressed at the likeness created at Musee Grevin and was more than happy to pose for pictures with fans.
Adding yet another action film to his impressive resume, the trailer and poster for Nicolas Cage's "Seeking Justice" have both been released.
The 47-year-old big screen stars plays a happily married man named Will Gerard, whose peaceful life is turned upside down when his wife Laura (played by January Jones) is the victim of a brutal attack.

Drug destroys stubborn tumours
Scientists are developing a drug which appears to have the potential to destroy some of the most stubborn cancer tumours.
The drug, called DMXAA, is able to starve a tumour of vital nutrients by reducing its blood supply.
The drug is being developed by a company called Cancer Research Ventures, which was set up by the Cancer Research Campaign.
It was discovered by Professors Bruce Baguley and Bill Denny and their teams of researchers at the University of Auckland, New Zealand.
They developed and tested it, with top UK scientists and clinicians from London and Bradford.
Promising results
A CRC spokesman said: "Early laboratory and clinical trials show promising results indicating that the drug has significant activity against solid tumours.
"Scientists hope that with further development DMXAA could benefit many cancer patients in the future."
Professor Gordon Rustin and his team tested the drug at Mount Vernon Hospital, west London.
Professor Rustin said: "We monitored the effect of the drug using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans, which use magnetic fields to give a visual picture of the water content of living tissue.
"The scans suggested that DMXAA was having an effect on blood flow to the tumour."
Scientists believe the drug may be particularly effective when used in combination with other anti-cancer treatments.
It delivers an initial blow which leaves the tumour weaker and more susceptible to radiotherapy and standard chemotherapies.
Glyn Edwards, Antisoma's chief executive officer, said they hoped to complete Phase 1 testing the drug alone and start Phase 1b studies using it in combination with chemotherapy by the end of next year.

text: VANCOUVER, Dec. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - TAG Oil Ltd. (TSX: TAO) and (OTCQX: TAOIF), reports that the Company intends to launch a normal course issuer bid (bid) to purchase up to 4,427,774 of its common shares through the facilities of TSX. The purchase of common shares under the bid will enable the Company to acquire its shares for cancellation. TAG believes that the market price of the Company's common shares may not reflect their underlying value and that the purchase of common shares for cancellation will increase the proportionate interest of, and will be advantageous to, all remaining shareholders. There have not been any previous purchases under a normal course issuer bid by TAG within the past 12 months. Currently, TAG has 54,453,234 common shares issued and outstanding. The common shares that may be repurchased over a twelve-month period represent approximately 10% of TAG's 44,277,739 outstanding common shares in the public float. TAG has appointed Macquarie Private Wealth Inc. as the Participating Organization that will be conducting the bid on behalf of TAG with purchases under the bid being able to commence on December 9, 2011. The amount and timing of such purchases will be determined by TAG and, in accordance with TSX policies, the amount of daily purchases may not exceed 32,341 common shares. TAG Oil Ltd. TAG Oil Ltd. ( http://www.tagoil.com/) is a Canadian-based production and exploration company with operations focused exclusively in New Zealand. With 100% control over all its core assets, including oil and gas production infrastructure, TAG is anticipating substantial oil and gas production and reserve growth through development of several light oil and gas discoveries. TAG is also actively drilling high-impact exploration prospects identified across more than 1,300 sections of land in the onshore Taranaki and East Coast Basins of New Zealand's North Island. In the East Coast Basin, TAG has entered into a farm-out agreement with Apache Corp to explore and potentially develop the major unconventional resource potential estimated in the tight oil source-rock formations that are widespread over the Company's acreage. These oil-rich and naturally fractured formations have many similarities to North America's Bakken source-rock formation in the successful Williston Basin. Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements: Statements contained in this news release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve various risks and uncertainty affecting the business of TAG. Such statements can generally, but not always, identified by words such as "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "intends", "estimates", "forecasts", "schedules", "prepares", "potential" and similar expressions, or that events or conditions "will", "would", "may", "could" or "should" occur.

At this busy time of year with elections, the holidays, etc. there is something I want to talk about. Child abuse — harsh words, ugly words. Words I don't want to think about.
I find it amusing that someone who should promote healthy living, does not see the benefit of the new Henry County Recreational and Service Park to our community!
I am requesting your vote for my son-in-law, Ronnie Stephens for jailer. He has given many hours helping with youth sports activities in the county.
Three good steps to make sure that you don't explode or go off on your neighbor.
Step one: Make sure that your septic system has been inspected and approved by the health department and was installed by a licensed installer and keep your records.
As I write this, the polls for the 2010 General Election have been open for about seven hours.
I happily did my duty Tuesday morning, casting my vote around 6:45.
I will be so very happy on Wednesday. Not because I'll be recovering from 18 hours covering the election on Tuesday, but because it will be quiet.
I want to take this opportunity to thank each person that my team and I came in contact with during my campaign for jailer. I want to thank you for taking time out to answer your door and being cordial to us as we interrupted your ballgame, nap or dinner.
I wanted to thank Perry's Hardware for their donation of lumber and Southern States of Eminence for their donation of the black plastic to help construct the community Halloween Tunnel at my house at 280 Vernon Avenue in Eminence.
I am writing this letter as a word of thanks to the Eminence Board of Education and its administration.
Several weeks ago, while the students and staff were on fall break, the board hired a company to come into our district and make some necessary changes to the building.
Mike Ray is an honorable man. I have known him since Protect Our Children, an organization that Pid Smith and I started to stop an illegal waste incinerator and which culminated in county-wide zoning. Since that time he has served Henry County in several capacities, the last as the appointed head of the Henry County Development Council.
The morning of Wednesday, Oct. 27, was a sad morning for one of our business owners. Ricky Rines lost a good part of his Automotive business.
The big day is almost here.
On Nov. 2, Henry Countians will head to the polls and cast their choices for city, county and state races.
I'd like to extend a big thank you to those candidates who participated in our election forums last week, and those who will attend our third and final forum tomorrow night in Campbellsburg.
With four weeks left before the election, it is make-or-break time for many candidates. In Kentucky, our legislature contains many true statesmen who should be kept in office. Rep. Rick Rand is of these statesmen.
The letter by Dr. White on Oct. 6 presented numerous questions and comments. The following will provide responses to some of the questions, and provide further detail relative to various comments.
I just want to say we don't need a new jailer. J.C. has done an excellent job.
The family and friends of Jackie Payne would like to thank the unknown person who rendered aid to him by calling 911. Jackie had a motorcycle accident on Mulberry Pike on 10/6/10 at approximately 8:30 p.m. He was unconscious and lying off the roadway when this unidentified male called for medical assistance. We need more people like this in the world who are willing to go above and beyond.
The family and friends of Jackie Payne
It's a source of contention in many households. Cold natured folks and hot natured folks battle for temperature control.
In my own home, Derek (the cold natured one) and I (the warm natured one), can't seem to agree on just what temperature we want the house.
Most folks who know me can attest that I love being outside.
My idea of a vacation isn't sitting up in a hotel for a week — it's putting my clothes, food and tent in a backpack and hoofing it several miles through the woods for a few days.
Heck, each year after the fair I retreat to a favorite campground or trail to relax for a week or so.
This is not Washington D.C. but we the people of this town still have a chance to save it. But we have to make a stand and fight for what we believe in and stop living in fear!
I have lived in Eminence all my life; as the years have passed by, I have watched my city decline. Despite what the "elected politicians" tell us, the sad reality is we are losing businesses and a lot of quality people are moving out of our community.
Prior to last week's Campbellsburg City Council Meeting, councilman Rex Morgan requested a copy of the Campbellsburg's City Attorney's contract. They were not available at that meeting. We learned why at last week's special meeting. They had been copied and placed at each council member's seat prior to the meeting, but had been removed prior to the meeting by Mayor Jan Fletcher.
Watching Judge Brent at the Sept. 20 Campbellsburg City Council meeting was interesting. He was there to request funds from Campbellsburg for the further development of the Kentucky 55 Campbellsburg Industrial Park. Perhaps if he had not allocated so many funds to "Brent Park" he would not have had to request funds from the city council.

Yeah, the trainer list is something that I expected to be in the journal somewhere. I was slightly amused when i found it missing.
Might just be an homage to the classic games but I just think its silly to have to memorize the list or manually jot them down in modern adaptations.

Ok, I followed all the steps on a website on how to jailbreak with R.S.
-Successfully jailbroke it, popped in the Tmobile sim and everything worked!
Here's the problem, it ran incredibly slow, 7 second lag just to type
So I figured I should update the software from 4.2.1 to something higher and i might have better luck. (I think this is where I goofed) So I plugged it into iTunes to try and restore. (error : couldn't restore I think it was 1505 error) Anyway I researched and tried multiple fixes to no avail. The phone cannot boot, all it can do is turn on and await iTunes connection. I cannot get it into DFU mode, I believe its stuck in a restore cycle (and I did try to use R.S. to fix it but it said I wasn't in dfu mode ...go figure.)
Anyway, please please someone better at this give me some help. I'll check back and edit my post if im missing any information. I also tried to use the same software file I downloaded to jailbreak with to restore it on iTunes still said it could not.
Thank you to anyway in advance that can help.
I tried to use tinyumbrella and I guess I don't understand it, I clicked exit recovery and the phone just restarts and goes back to the same screen.

UPDATE 2-TransCanada books Keystone XL writedown, raises dividend
(Recasts, adds comment, details on Energy East)
By Nia Williams
CALGARY, Alberta Feb 11 (Reuters) - TransCanada Corp , the country's second-largest pipeline company, reported a fourth-quarter loss on Thursday as a result of a one-off C$2.9 billion ($2.08 billion) impairment charge relating to its rejected Keystone XL oil pipeline.
However, excluding the Keystone XL writedown, the company reported a higher-than-expected profit and raised its dividend at a time when most energy companies are scaling back shareholder payouts.
Calgary-based TransCanada said long-term contracts helped underpin its business during a "very challenging year", in which global crude oil prices tumbled on concerns about oversupply.
The company endured a difficult end to 2015 after U.S. President Barack Obama blocked the cross-border Keystone XL pipeline in a victory for environmentalists who campaigned against the project for more than seven years.
Last month, TransCanada filed legal action against the United States for the rejection and has vowed to press ahead with the project.
The company's proposed Energy East pipeline from Alberta to Canada's Atlantic coast has also run into environmental opposition, and new interim rules on energy project reviews imposed in January could lead to further delays.
"We are still assessing the impact of the NEB (National Energy Board) changes...we are still targeting 2020 but I think it's fair to assume with a extension of the regulatory process that may translate into a delay in bringing it into service," said Paul Miller, president of liquids pipelines, said on an earnings call.

Brian Beckman Does Higher Algebra with Visual Basic
Download this episode
In this interview, Brian Beckman, Principal Developer (currently working with Erik Meijer), attempts to teach me higher algebra using Visual Basic, generics, and operator overloading. Brian is a wonderful person and brilliant physicist and we have a lot
of fun with vectors and matrices and VB. I actually think I understood some of what Brian showed me .
Visual Basic is a great language for mathematics as well as all kinds of other applications. Brian makes the point that he has fun coding in VB because of its intuitive style and how easy it is to be immediately productive. Check out Brian's blog post on the VB Team blog! And for all you abstract algebra aficionados, here's the code to play with.

The Discussion
Since when does linear algebra and vectorspaces count as higher algebra? They're first year stuff
Wow, evildictaitor, your high school must be advanced if they're teaching you vector spaces the first year...
I really like this. I read on Joe Duffy's blog that he's working on a language that is a hybrid between C# and Haskell. Maybe it supports the higher-kinded type-system necessary to naturally express these things. I tried to do similar things in ML but in the end the solution wasn't really that appealing.

Persie House reviews
Persie House is now a special place for our 11 member family. From all the places we stayed on our venture through Scotland, all our grandchildren between 10-8 want to go back to Persie House next year. The hosts were wonderful. We hiked, fished, barbecued, sat by evening fires, and even had the opportunity to clay pigeoned shoot. It was a wonderful place to be together as a family- spacious and yet cozy around the kitchen table in the morning and the dining room table in the evening. Our only minor disappointment were the old chairs that were very uncomfortable. I hope grandchildren we may return again.
Rev Mcqueen - July 2016
If you are looking for that memorable highland break with family & friends look no further this place is absolutely stunning !! As soon as you enter the private drive way the anticipation begins and as you turn the corner and first set eyes on the place you will know you've made the right decision. As soon as we entered Persie House it felt like home from home and we instantly all relaxed. After the grand tour (Gerard and Cherry are amazing, nothing is too much trouble), we started to explore, and I promise you in a week you won't want to leave. The loch is fab and filled with beautiful brown trout, we had lots of fish daily with 3 over 1lb (straight on the BBQ). Black water if there's no fish running still a fab place for a picnic and a glass or two...and then the swimming loch, brace yourself the water is a little nippy but what a place to swim and a great way to cool down (we had a week of sunshine so afternoons were often spent messing around in the water). Gardens are amazing, and plenty of space for all the games you can think of, Crocket set was great fun. From reading the visitors book it's obvious that so many people return time & time again, and we will be joining that club that's for sure!!
Mr Fimister-smith - July 2014
Wonderful weekend stay in absolutely magnificent surroundings. Gerrard and Sherry took great care of us, and we'd go back in a heartbeat. Really lovely location, and very highly recommended by everyone in our party.
Mr Clark - June 2012
We had a fantastic weekend in suprisingly 30 degree sunshine. Persie House has everything you could ever need for a luxurious escape from reality - tennis court, boating pond (or swimming in our case), the biggest baths ever and a grand dinning room.
Mrs Shirra - May 2012
The property is excellent- large, well equipped and the location id fantastic. The housekeepers were particularly helpful in making sure we had everything we needed.

While in Barcelona, Spain, to dedicate Antoni Gaudi's famous, yet unfinished Sagrada Familia basilica, Pope Benedict XVI got down to some unfinished business of his own, zeroing in on a short list of favorite family values issues he sees as causes for concern in a country that once seemed far more set on getting with the Catholic program than it does in this more secular era. —KA
AP via Yahoo News:
Benedict has focused much of his pontificate on trying to fight secular trends in the West such as the legal recognition of same-sex unions. He has visited Spain twice and has a third trip planned next year, an indication he sees this once staunchly Roman Catholic country as a battleground for the future of the faithful in Europe.
During his homily Sunday, Benedict noted that the church of the Sagrada Familia — a soaring, Art Nouveau basilica with sandcastle-like spires — was initially conceived of as a temple to the sacred family of its name, Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
He railed against same-sex marriage and divorce, saying families are built on the "indissoluble love of a man and a woman" who should be provided with financial and social benefits from governments. He criticized policies allowing for abortions, saying "the life of children (must) be defended as sacred and inviolable from the moment of their conception."

Conventional wisdom in the fleet market is often wrong. If we roll back the calendar, the conventional wisdom about fuel prices was that there would be ebbs and flows in price per gallon rates, but the overall price trajectory would trend upward. The flaw with conventional wisdom is that it only works when no new variables are inserted into future projections. A case in point is the shale oil revolution, which now has experts predicting oil prices will remain flat for the foreseeable future.

amfAR's 21st Cinema Against AIDS Gala Boasts Massive Stars
Every year, amfAR caps off the Cannes International Film Festival with a celebrity-rich Cinema Against AIDS event, and on Thursday (May 22) it seemed like the A-list guests just kept filing in.
Marvelous models like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Bar Refaeli, Irina Shayk, Alessandra Ambrosio and Karlie Kloss wore swoon-worthy designer gowns and lit up the arrivals area outside the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc.
As for the fellas, there was no shortage of man candy thanks to Kellan Lutz, John Travolta (with wife Kelly Preston) and Justin Bieber, who looked to have toned down his typical party-boy antics.
Additional guests included Marion Cotillard, Barbara Palvin, Nicole Scherzinger, Dita Von Teese, Heidi Klum, Jessica Chastain (who ISN'T starring in "True Detective" Season 2), Michelle Rodriguez, Milla Jovovich, Rosario Dawson, Paris Hilton and Sharon Stone.
Per the organization's website, "Founded in 1985, amfAR is dedicated to ending the global AIDS epidemic through innovative research."

AMES, Iowa— Home gardeners welcome daffodils as a sign of spring. However, they often have questions about when to plant and how to manage foliage after spring blooming. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulture specialists share information about daffodil care. To have additional questions answered, contact the Hortline at 515-294-3108 or email@example.com.
If the daffodils aren't blooming, the plants weren't able to store enough food in their bulbs in the previous year. Daffodil foliage typically persists for four to six weeks after blooming. During this period, the daffodil foliage is manufacturing food. Much of the food is transported down to the bulbs. In order to bloom, daffodils must store adequate levels of food in their bulbs. Cutting off the foliage before it has died back naturally may prevent the plants from storing adequate food in the bulbs.
Allow the daffodil foliage to die completely before removing it. Plants in partial shade in May and June may not be able to store enough food in their bulbs because of insufficient sunlight. Dig up daffodils growing in partial shade when the foliage has died back and plant the bulbs in a location that receives at least six hours of direct sun per day. If given good care and favorable growing conditions, weak (non-blooming) daffodils can be encouraged to flower again.
After flowering, daffodil foliage typically persists for four to six weeks. Daffodil foliage tends to get floppy and look a little unruly. However, it's best to leave the foliage alone and not tie or braid the leaves. Daffodil foliage manufactures food for the plant. Adequate amounts of food must be stored in the bulbs in order for the daffodils to bloom the following spring. Tying the leaves together with rubber bands or braiding the foliage reduces the leaf area exposed to sunlight. As a result, the leaves manufacture smaller amounts of food. Plus, tying or braiding the foliage is a time-consuming chore.
Deadheading is the removal of spent flowers. While tulips should be deadheaded immediately after flowering, it is not necessary to deadhead daffodils. The vigor of tulip bulbs quickly declines if tulips are not promptly deadheaded and seed pods are allowed to develop. However, seed pod formation on daffodils has little impact on plant vigor. Some gardeners do deadhead daffodils for aesthetic reasons as the spent flowers/seed pods are not attractive.
Daffodil foliage should not be removed until it has turned brown and died. The length of time it takes the foliage to die back depends on bulb type, weather and other factors. The foliage of daffodils usually dies back four to six weeks after flowering. The foliage of daffodils and other spring-flowering bulbs is performing a vital function, manufacturing food for the underground bulbs. Premature removal of the plant foliage reduces plant vigor and bulb size, resulting in fewer flowers next spring. After the foliage has turned brown, it can be safely cut off at ground level and discarded.
Daffodil bulbs can be dug up and replanted as soon as the foliage dies back (turns brown) in early summer. Daffodils can also be dug up and replanted in fall (October). If you would like to move daffodil bulbs in fall, mark the site when the foliage is present so the bulbs can be located in October. Daffodils perform best when planted in well-drained soils in full sun. The planting site should receive at least six hours of direct sun per day.

Tell them: "Sorry I gave at the office."
Probably would look like a family reunion for me.
I would sit back about 800yds and pick them off with my M40. When they hit about 400yds I would kick on the autos M240G's. At about 200yds, I would hit the claymores and open up with everything. At 50yds "drop all remaining rounds on my pos, over." Then, in Hell, I would assassinate the Devil with my KA-BAR!! YA-DAT!!!!
I take my other post back. I think I would prance around in a pink to-to and hand them yellow smiley stickers and welcome them with open arms. Tell them they cant mess us up anymore than our own government!!
Start choppin em down with the PLR 16 and Beta drum loaded with
