I'm not one of those professional archers who shoot their bow year-round. I am a hunter who has to wipe the dust off of it during this time of year. I know this is the period where I have to begin shooting in order to feel comfortable in various hunting situations when deer season comes about. But it's so hot right now. And because my wife is not too keen about me setting up an indoor range down the hall in my house, I am going to have to endure the August heat for a chance at October meat.

Hey guys,
I really need your help. I love backtrack 5 and I want to get it working with cal++. I have a radeon hd 4870 and everytime I try to install the ATI driver, I get a black screen. I've tried the newest version 11-8 as well as 11-5, and both do not work. I'll run an aticonfig --initial and it says the device is found, but after I logout startx doesn't work. I don't want to install backtrack to my hard drive yet because I can't even get the driver working right, so for now I'm testing it on the live cd. I've seen fixes for KDE 64 bit but how can I fix this on gnome? Please help me guys, this is driving me crazy!

We can live for nothing or die for something. People of faith have chosen to die to a lesser life in order to live in the greatest life. Dying is not easy and self does not like it much. Jesus said, "If you want to find your life, you must lose it." He must increase and we must decrease for real life to be manifested. This is not a life of giving up our identity, it is a life of truly living in the life we were born to live. That is when His transforming love and power flows freely from our … [Read more...]
Dying For Something So Much More by Robert Ricciardelli
Unceasing Dependence on God by Robert Ricciardelli
Difficulties can sometimes keep us from waiting on God's providential wisdom and strategies. Human nature wants to find its own solution rather than asking for Divine revelation and insight. We must return to a place of unceasing dependence on God within, who desires to engage in every aspect of our lives. What are the challenges that are keeping us from the Secret Place in Him? May we commit our lives to cultivate the grace we have been given as we trust Him in all things.Are you engaging god … [Read more...]
Waiting Expectantly for Divine Dialogue by Robert Ricciardelli
Are we waiting on God, and His still small voice? Do we even know that He desires to speak to us throughout each day? Are we at home spiritually waiting for His knock on the door of our hearts? Are we alert for the fresh Word He want to give us, and will we respond to Him? There is constant realignment and shifts needing to happen in our lives, in our attitudes, and in what we are doing. Wait, expect, listen, and then respond to God's best for your life.Are you taking the time to reflect and … [Read more...]
Sowing Seeds for Eternity by Robert Ricciardelli
Our short lives on earth are sowing times. What is sown is perishable, but what is raised is imperishable. Though we may reap some of what we sow in this life there is a far greater reaping ahead for a life well lived for the glory of God. God's unconditional love engulfs us in everything we do, everywhere we go, and for all eternity. Nothing we live in our body is lived in vain; This is a call for us to live every moment as a seed for eternity.Are you living an intentional life of sowing the … [Read more...]
Take a Stand for Self by Robert Ricciardelli
It is time to take a stand to truly be yourself, especially in a world that constantly tries to lure you into being anybody else but you. If you can look like, be like, or do like this, the world is your oyster. In exchange for all these things, all you have to give up is your self, your dignity, and everything God has desired for you. The fight to be authentically you is ongoing and yet Christ within you has already won for you. In God's victorious presence, you have the freedom, peace, and … [Read more...]

Deborah Long has decided her fourth term as House District 45 representative will be her last.
Long, a Republican who made history in 2008 as the first woman elected to the District 45 seat, announced Dec. 11 she will not run for reelection next year. She plans to serve the remaining year on her two-year term.
Lancaster City Council unanimously approved two contract amendments and five new contracts totaling almost $367,000 on Dec. 8, all with the engineering firm hired to assure compliance with the municipality's EPA consent order.
Lancaster City Administrator Flip Hutfles said five of the expenditures are directly tied to the August 2013 consent order issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency involving the city's wastewater-collection system.
A consent order is a negotiated agreement that obligates a party to make specific improvements.
After reviewing a plethora of school needs across Lancaster County, school district officials settled this week on $199 million as the amount of a proposed capital projects bond.
The largest items on the bond list are two new schools in Indian Land – a high school and an elementary – though the list also includes numerous projects for schools throughout the county.
Details about the projects, and a final bond amount to eventually present to voters, were revealed during a special Lancaster County school board meeting Dec. 8.
Despite a vote to deny an industrial rezoning for McClancy Seasoning last month, a procedural technicality will allow the issue to be heard once again during Lancaster County Council's Dec. 14 meeting.
The rezoning, which has drawn ire from hundreds of Panhandle residents during the last few months, was brought back to council's Nov. 23 meeting when Councilman Steve Harper asked for a motion to reconsider.
Lancaster Fire Department's rescue truck – Rescue 1 – is the most used apparatus in the fleet.
It not only answers emergency calls in the corporate city limits, but also provides mutual aid to the county in an area from Steele Hill to Heath Springs. In this year's first 11 months, Rescue 1 responded to 530 calls.
After a unanimous commitment from Lancaster City Council, there will be an upgraded Rescue 2 in the future to help reduce Rescue 1's workload.
A lack of competitive salaries is holding down staffing levels at the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office, and county officials are exploring ways to encourage employee recruitment and retention.
Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile said Dec. 4 he is facing a good news, bad news scenario when it comes to keeping his department fully staffed in the wake of the county's rapidly growing population.
When he was hired last month as Lancaster city manager, Flip Hutfles said one of his first goals was setting goals, and he is seeking feedback from city council, city employees and the public to do that very thing.
He sees a direct relationship between clear goals and the success of any organization, and that includes the day-to-day operation of municipal government.
"I believe it helps us move in the right direction," Hutfles said. "That way, I can stay on the same page."
The city of Lancaster has been awarded a $1.5 million grant to pay for about 75 percent of the much-needed sewer system upgrades in the West Arch Street area.
While it has not yet been determined where the remaining $465,000 to pay for the other 25 percent of the upgrades will come from, accepting the grant is a no-brainer, said Lancaster City Finance Director James Absher.
"We still aren't going to turn down $1.5 million," he said. "We'll get it from somewhere."
A rezoning request that may lead to some type of expansion at McClancy Seasoning is back on the table, or at least, talking about it is.
After voting 4-3 earlier this month to deny the rezoning request, on Nov. 23, members of Lancaster County Council passed two motions on the matter.
A month after a proposed residency requirement for county department heads stalled, county leaders resurrected the idea during Lancaster County Council's Nov. 9 meeting.
Councilman Larry Honeycutt, one of the council members who brought the idea back for consideration, said it should be a major condition of employment that county managers and directors live within the county's borders.
"Employees who have an impact on how our tax revenue is spent should be residents of Lancaster County," Honeycutt contended.

5 Service Sector Stocks Triggering 'Buys' - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- After yesterday's 1.8% selloff in the S&P 500, the word "buy" may not be in your vocabulary. The 27.75-point decline in the big index marks the biggest single-day drop for stocks in 2013, not exactly the sort of milestone that most investors relish in hitting.
But it'd be a mistake to get too reactionary after just one day. After all, the big index is still up more than 4% in just the first two months of the year -- an ascent that still works out to nearly a 26% annualized return for stocks. This isn't exactly 2008.
>>5 Rocket Stocks for a March Rally
As a result, there are some tradable setups popping up all around us. One place that's seeing buy signals flash more than most is the service sector. While a large number of stocks (as well as the broad market) meander sideways right now, there are some trades worth taking this week.
Today, we'll take a technical look at five of them.
>>5 Stocks Set to Soar on Bullish Earnings
For the unfamiliar, technical analysis is a way for investors to quantify qualitative factors, such as investor psychology, based on a stock's price action and trends. Once the domain of cloistered trading teams on Wall Street, technicals can help top traders make consistently profitable trades and can aid fundamental investors in better planning their stock execution.
So, without further ado, let's take a look at five technical setups worth trading now.
NTT Docomo
Up first is NTT Docomo (DCM), the $63 billion Japanese communication giant. The last year hasn't exactly been fruitful for DCM shareholders. Shares have fallen around 10% in the last 12 months, dropping at the exact same time that the S&P was rallying its hardest. But as Japanese equities turn the corner, this stock is set to benefit more than most.
That's because DCM just broke out of an ascending triangle bottom, a bullish setup that shares had been forming for the last quarter. The ascending triangle is a price pattern that's formed by a horizontal resistance level above shares and uptrending support below them; as shares bounce in between those two technical price levels, they were getting squeezed closer and closer to a breakout above resistance. When that push through $15 happened, we've got our buy signal -- it's still blaring now.
Momentum adds some extra confidence to this trade: with DCM's 14-day RSI in a well-defined uptrend, this stock's momentum isn't dying off as it climbs. You may notice a lot of gaps in DCM's price action, but you can ignore them. Those gaps, called suspension gaps, are just the result of off-hours trading in Tokyo and London; they can be ignored for technical purposes.
Shaw Communications
Another foreign communications stock that's forming a similar pattern is Shaw Communications (SJR), the $10 billion Canadian telco. Like DCM, Shaw is forming an ascending triangle pattern -- the key differences are that SJR's pattern is coming after a long-term uptrend and that this one hasn't broken out yet. That gives traders a chance to get in earlier with Shaw.
Shaw Communications currently has resistance sitting right above $24. That means that a breakout above that $24 level is the buy signal for this stock.
Whenever you're looking at any technical price pattern, it's critical to think in terms of buyers and sellers. Triangles, rectangles and other pattern names are a good quick way to explain what's going on in this stock, but they're not the reason it's tradable. Instead, it all comes down to supply and demand for shares.
Resistance at $24 is a price where there's an excess of supply of shares; in other words, it's a place where sellers have been more eager to take recent gains and sell their shares than buyers have been to buy. That's what makes the breakout above $24 so significant. It indicates that buyers are finally strong enough to absorb all of the excess supply above that price level. That's when you want to own shares.
Visa (V) is another name that's making sideways moves after rallying hard for the better part of the last year. Shares of the payment processing giant have climbed more than 32% in the trailing 12 months, besting the broad market's performance by a wide margin.
Now Visa's trading in between a horizontal resistance level at $162 and horizontal support at $153. That bouncing in between two horizontal price barriers means that Visa is in a consolidation pattern called a rectangle -- in short, the pattern is common after big price moves because it gives market participants a chance to catch their breath and plan their next move. For technical traders, there's no planning involved; just wait for the breakout above $162 or below $153, and then pile in behind in the direction of the breakout.
More often than not, rectangles are continuation patterns. And since Visa has been in a distinct uptrend, that makes an upside breakout look like a slightly more plausible scenario. But it's critical to actually wait for shares to exit the rectangle before jumping onboard; a negative divergence in momentum right now could spell trouble for shares.
Taiwan Semiconductor
You don't have to be an expert technical analyst to see what's going on in microchip manufacturer and service provider Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM). TSM is currently forming an uptrending channel, a trading range that's bounded by a trendline resistance and trendline support level.
Those support and resistance levels give us a high probability range for this stock to trade within. And as you might expect, the ideal time to be a buyer is on a bounce off of support.
When you're looking to buy a stock within a trend channel, buying after a bounce off of support makes sense for two big reasons: it's the spot where shares have the furthest to move up before they hit resistance, and it's the spot where the risk is the least (because shares have the least room to move lower before you know you're wrong). Keep that in mind when putting in a stop loss in TSM; the 50-day moving average looks like a good dynamic level for a stop.
Keep a close eye on this one – with shares sitting right at support, it's make-or-break time for Taiwan Semiconductor's pattern.
I hope you're not a shareholder in Salesforce.com (CRM). Shares of the $24 billion business software firm got unceremoniously sold off in yesterday's trading session, falling more than 4% by the time the closing bell rang. But even though yesterday's price action was painful, don't be fooled -- this stock is still definitely in an uptrend, and a more attractive opportunity to be a buyer is around the corner.
The uptrending channel in Salesforce.com is much longer-term than the one in TSM, but the trading implications are exactly the same. As this stock comes down to test support, traders should be looking for CRM's ability to catch a bid again. And just like TSM, it's critical to wait for shares to actually stage a bounce off of support, not just fall near it. While waiting for an actual bounce will mean leaving some potential gains on the table, it also means that you're greatly reducing your risk of jumping in just as CRM falls through support.
That's a tradeoff I'd make all day long.

Ashley Olsen dating Lance Armstrong
Ashley Olsen and Lance Armstrong were spotted at the Rose Bar in New York Monday night. The two seemed to be really enjoying each other's company, according to Page Six:
Our bar spy said, "They came together with a group of friends. Ashley drank red wine, sat on his lap and they were making out all night. They left together around 2 a.m."
Lance, you don't have to explain yourself to me. I know what it's like to keep your body at peak physical shape. Like a well-tuned machine. You push yourself to the limit everyday. And sometimes you just need to relax. Whether that entails taking in a movie, drinking a fine glass of wine or having sex with an anorexic Muppet is your decision. In the meantime, since you bagged yourself an Olsen twin, the Sesame Street people keep calling. They want Kermit back.

Topic: TINGLING??????? Anyone else having this??
Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to ask a question to all of you - my husband undergoing chemo at the moment for cc, large tumor in liver and mets to lymph nodes.....anyway, he keeps saying he is feeling "tingling" sensations in his chest and upper stomach area. He said he the cancer is either spreading or the chemo is working. That's his thought. He said he definetly feels that something is going on, either good or bad.
We mentioned this tingling to the Dr. last week before chemo and he said no patient of his has ever mentioned that to him.
Was just wondering if anyone else has had or heard of this. We know the side effects of tingling in the hands or feet, but that's not where he has it.

Annual Giving is the only fundraising program of the university that reaches all alumni, friends of UW, students, and parents of students on a yearly basis. Its focus is on acquiring regular yearly contributions, thus creating a vital and dependable source of non-legislative support for Wyoming's university. You should be receiving invitations for annual giving in the mail. If you are not, feel free to contact Candace Paradis, Director of Annual Giving, at (307) 766-3933 or email@example.com to start receiving them and to make a gift, or you can give online.
Some of the biggest impacts across the University of Wyoming campus have come from the support of corporations and foundations. Student by student, corporation- and foundation-supported scholarships have built a wealth of human capital. Gifts campus-wide have built buildings, created whole new programs, and underwritten research that changes the world as we know it.
A gift in memory is particularly moving as it is a tribute to the life of someone special. The legacy of your loved one lives on in the lives of UW students. What a lasting tribute to that special person.
When people give a gift to the University of Wyoming, they often establish an endowment, as opposed to the funds going directly toward immediate needs. This is because an endowment is a way to extend the life of the gift. For questions about endowments or to establish one, contact John Stark at (307) 766-3930 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Named gifts are a wonderful way to support the University of Wyoming and the students and programs that you love. Your named gift will help ensure that educational opportunities thrive for future generations, and it also will serve as a lasting tribute to you, your family, or a loved one. We welcome the opportunity to name in your honor and as a perpetual expression of thanks. Named gift opportunities include facilities or programs or endowed chairs, among other things.
The UW Foundation's gift planning staff assists donors in integrating charitable gifts into their financial, tax, and estate-planning objectives, maximizing benefits to both donors and the University of Wyoming. Planned gifts provide donors with an immediate tax deduction and other benefits such as life income, continued use of gift property, or elimination of capital gains tax. With questions or if you are considering UW in your estate plans, contact Clayton Melinkovich, Associate Director of Planned Giving, at (307) 766-4259 or email@example.com.
Your gift of a tree, a bench, or a picnic table for the University of Wyoming campus enhances the beauty and versatility of the UW grounds and is a living and lasting tribute to you as the donor and to the one you honor through your gift. If you have questions or would like to make a gift, contact Alicia Smith at (307) 760-5681 or email@example.com.
Some corporations match the charitable gifts of their employees. Many even match charitable contributions made by retirees or directors. Check with your human resources department to see if the company you work for has a matching program. Then just send in your gift with the form from your company, and they will contribute toward the area or program of your choice. UW's online giving form allows you to search to see if your company matches gifts. Click Other on the first page, and then on the second page add a zero to the box and click Continue. Toward the bottom of the third page is the Employer Gift Matching section. Click on the down arrow and then Click here to find your company to check if your company matches gifts.
If you are a UW employee, you can make your gift through payroll deduction. It's quick and convenient. All you need to do is fill out the UW Payroll Deduction Authorization. As faculty or staff, you already invest so much in the university, but consider making a small monthly contribution that will impact the students you serve tenfold.

Click here for Halloween word search games to print and play
Like Word Search Games?Click here for lots more
BlackDog's Halloween Party
How to Play:
Find the words in the jumbled letters. To select a word you've found, set your
cursor at the beginning of the word, hold your mouse button down, and "drag" to the
end of the word. When you let the button up, if you've selected the right word,
it will remain circled and disappear from the list on the right.
Words can be found spelled horizontally, vertically, diagonally, forward, or
backward. They'll always be in a straight line.
If the word list gets scrambled, just click the "Find Words" button and the words
will become clear again. If you completely are stuck and can't find a word,
click on the word in the list and then click the "Find Words" button. The
pesky word will be circled for you automatically. But that would be cheating, right?
After you've found all of the words, mix them up and try again or choose
another word search topic from the main word search page. There is
no time limit and you can play as many times as you like. Enjoy!

Weiss era begins for Rockies with first workout
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) - If Ramon Hernandez's big smile and immediate, positive remarks about the first day of work under Walt Weiss provided any insight, the Colorado Rockies believe they have the man to manage their club back into a winner.
Weiss led his pitchers and catchers through their first spring training workout Tuesday at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick and made one thing certain: His team will play defense, and that will start by turning double plays. Plenty of them.
Raptors edge Nuggets 109-108
TORONTO (AP) - Rudy Gay hit a pull-up jump shot with less than five seconds remaining and the Toronto Raptors beat the short-handed Denver Nuggets 109-108 on Tuesday.
DeMar DeRozan scored 22 points, Gay had 17 and John Lucas scored 12 of his 14 points in the final quarter as the Raptors won their third straight.
It was the second game-winner in three games for Gay, who beat Indiana with an overtime jumper last Friday.
Kyle Lowry had 11 points and 10 assists and Alan Anderson had 10 for Toronto, which made seven 3-pointers in the fourth quarter.

I have an authentication system for my programs which logs every authentication attempt.Now over the months, the logs table have gotten 4,064,450 records.The problem is when im executing that query to get the latest 13 records it takes about 10 seconds to do it.
"SELECT * FROM logs_table ORDER BY time DESC LIMIT 0, 13"
time = the time of the attempt.
Is there a way to optimize the query ?
Thank you.
I'll say that going through 4+ million records to only use 13 is very inefficient!
Do you need to retain them all? If not I would periodically DELETE them, maybe after saving a backup just in case you want them later.
Otherwise I would move the older ones to some sort of "archive" table that doesn't need to be searched so often.
IMHO it isn't the query that needs optimizing but rather the database architecture.
Thats the problem, we do search for the logs to get information about the user if needed for alot of cases.
Could you please give me more info about the "optimizing the database arch" ?
Something like this should speed up your query significantly (with tweaking, should run about 100x faster):
FROM logs_table
WHERE `time` > NOW() - INTERVAL 3 DAY
) AS `logs`
ORDER BY `time` DESC
How many entries per day? If 3 days returns too many logs, reduce it... or adjust higher if you want more padding.
Also, if you don't have an index on the "time" column, try:
ALTER TABLE `logs_table` ADD INDEX(`time`);
If you need to keep and use the data that does limit your options.
Do you really need every field returned - the "*" ? Even if you do, AFAIK explicitly listing the fields allows the database to use indexes and should run faster.
For the frequent query, maybe you could make a "recent" table that points to indexes in the "logs" table. Then save the heavy grunt work for the occassion.
That's not the culprit here... he's combining an ORDER BY and a LIMIT... that will necessarily compare the time field on every result... even when indexed, it's doing a multi-million-record hash prior to the LIMIT.
To increase performance, he has to to a "pre-sort pseudo-limit" by date. This will allow him to cut out a significant % of his results on an indexed column prior to the ORDER BY/LIMIT.
It'll significantly increase his performance (assuming the time column is indexed).
What server-side language are you using? Try dropping the LIMIT CLAUSE and instead in the server-side language run the loop that you use to get each row of the result set 13 times (or for however many rows are required) then break from the loop.
Yikes!!! That will retrieve 4 MILLION records!!! I don't even KNOW how a server will handle that... even with an iterative model, there has to be some point in the DB connection that will process all 4 million records!
Ok, I decided to run a test on this, because I'm interested to see the results...
I've built the following table:
CREATE TABLE `logs_table` (
`id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`user_id` INT NOT NULL,
`action_id` INT NOT NULL,
`time` TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
INDEX (`user_id`),
INDEX (`action_id`),
INDEX (`time`)
I'm currently populating it with data... 4,000,000 records spread out randomly over a 12 month period. I've got 1.5 million records inserted so far!!!
I'm going to test some different queries on it and see what kind of results I get!
PS - This is on a 512 MB Slicehost VPS - not the best machine in the world, so should give some good results!
Ok, I actually inserted 5,000,000 records.... and here are my results:
SELECT * FROM logs_table ORDER BY `time` DESC LIMIT 0, 13
0.04 seconds!!!
With no index on time, it's 9.8 seconds (makes me think time is not indexed!)
FROM logs_table
WHERE `time` > NOW() - INTERVAL 3 DAY
) AS `logs`
ORDER BY `time` DESC
4 seconds!!! The inner query is returning 100,000+ records, and that's killing the index... So I reduced that timeframe and got:
FROM logs_table
WHERE `time` > NOW() - INTERVAL 10 MINUTE
) AS `logs`
ORDER BY `time` DESC
0.01 seconds
Still, it seems your problem is no index on the time column... go back to my first post and run the ALTER TABLE query.

Master Reinecke slipped quickly into the Cock, who bravely went on his way.
Later, he met Reinecke, the Fox, and told him the whole story.
At last Reinecke took refuge in a hole, while the Dog hid himself at the entrance, keeping up a sharp lookout.
Sing away, for all I care," answered Reinecke; "only make it short.
As soon as Reinecke had given these orders the beasts all betook themselves to the forest in order to summon their troops.
Shortly after he met Reinecke, and said to him, "Whither away, Master?"
"Dragons are different from Reinecke and Petz and Isegrim," observed the little boy.
Reinecke was soon at work, and by daybreak every goose was strangled.
It was called Reinecke Fuchs, and as far as I could understand made a jest of everything.
He commends Reinecke's efforts in this direction because they are free from pepper and sauce à la Liszt.

International Day of the Girl
By Barbara Murphy-Warrington, CEO, Girl Scouts of Greater New York
October 11, 2012 marks the first United Nations International Day of the Girl. The day is part of a larger global movement to recognize girls' rights and the unique challenges girls face. Girls around the world are still routinely stripped of educational opportunities, and disproportionally face violence, gender discrimination, and economic disparities.
Take, for example, 14-year-old Malala Yousafzai. At age 11, Ms. Yousefzai became an outspoken advocate for girls' education and children's rights in Pakistans northwestern Swat Valley. All she wanted was a chance to become a doctor in a region that does not support education for girls. Yesterday, in response to her advocacy, she was shot in the head by the Taliban. The Taliban claimed responsibility, saying they wanted to make an example of her.
In the United States today, women have not yet achieved the same access to opportunities as men, and too often, women find that they are paid less for the same work performed by their male co-workers. Women also are not represented equitably in leadership positions---in many different industries and sectors of our society. Yet, we know from several recent studies, that in companies where women are well represented in leadership positions, those companies tend to outperform companies where few women hold leadership positions.
Here at the Girl Scouts of Greater New York we are developing girls of courage, confidence, and character who advocate for themselves and others, locally and globally. Our girls develop a strong sense of self, critical thinking, and positive values. Girls who are adequately and passionately invested are able to develop their leadership capacities to serve their communities and make the world a better place for all. We are investing in today's girls because we are helping to prepare them to be tomorrow's leaders. However, we still have much work to do.

I spent most of last week being confused/disturbed by Panty O's new kegel panties, which allow you to exercise your vaginal muscles while you wear the underwear. I found this frightening, but then I received a press release for the Magic Banana. Never heard of it? I hadn't either. It's a flexible accessory for "strengthening your inner magical muscles." I'm not going to get anymore detailed, but I think you should watch the instructional video. Just do it. It uses the phrase "in the smiling position." So it's marketed as a kegel exerciser that is supposed to help you achieve multiple orgasms.
The Magic Banana led me down a kegel wormhole. Pun intended. Let me warn you, most kegel exercise products are pastel and look like Medieval torture devices. But if your vagina's been slacking off, you might want to check out some of the products available to work the lazy girl out.

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage Presents: Far From Heaven In a tribute to the "women's films" of the 1950s, writer/director Todd Haynes produces a visually tantalizing and emotionally involved look at the life of one '50s housewife in abnormal circumstances. When she finds out her husband (Dennis Quaid) is having a homosexual affair, Cathy Whitaker (Julianne Moore) realizes that, although she has the perfect veneer of a happy life, she wants more. She seeks solace in the company of a black gardener (Dennis Haysburt), and soon rumors about the two of them begin spreading like wildfire. Providing a personal look at the racial and sexual prejudices of the era, this modern reinterpretation of Douglas Sirk's classic film All That Heaven Allows stands out with tight writing and manicured visuals. Add in the acting talents of Viola Davis and Patricia Clarkson, and Far From Heaven becomes an irresistible, tenderly wrought tale of suppressed love and desire.

Brevard, N.C. - Derek Church capped on a 196 yard offensive performance with a three yard touchdown catch with 3:20 in the fourth quarter, tying the game at 35 apiece and Darren Walker picked off Keahn Wallace's pass on third down in the first overtime period, paving way to Austin Clark's game-winning 18 yard field goal as the Tornados survived a wild home opener with a 38-35 victory over the visiting Golden Bulls.
In their first contest back in Brevard Memorial Stadium, Brevard (1-1) and Johnson C. Smith (1-1), combined to provide a complete display off offensive prowess as the Tornados racked up 305 yards on the ground, led by Church's 161 yards on 29 carries, while Wallace completed 25 passes for 325 yards and three touchdowns for the Golden Bulls.
Fittingly enough though, it was a defensive stop that made the difference as Walker stepped in front of a pass from Wallace targeted for Daniel Taylor on third-and-12 in the opening possession of the first overtime period, giving the Tornados the chance to go for the win.
Fumbles marred each of the first two drives by Brevard in the game with the second one leading directly to a JCSU score as Kelvin Jeter fumbled the pitch from Aaron Reese, where it was scooped up at the BC eight yard line by Quinton Toomer. The Golden Bulls scored two plays later as Nick Mata shrugged off a Brevard defender in the end zone, hauling in the seven yard completion from Wallace at the 11:30 mark to give JCSU the 7-0 lead.
The Tornados would even the score two possessions later, following Donovan Barker's interception at the BC 30 yard line. Brevard marched down the field in seven plays, capping off the drive as Tydrell Wright took the pitch on the reverse from Reese and weaved his way through the defense before crossing the goal line after the 32 yard carry to tie the game up at 7 with 4:12 left in the first quarter.
The Tornados would add scores in two of their next three possessions, capping off an eight-play, 91 yard drive highlighted by Church's 64 yard run up the middle, on a Reese two yard quarterback keeper, while Eric Watts tracked down an off-target pass by Reese and turned it into a 40 yard touchdown reception to put the Tornados up 21-7 with 3:11 left in the first half.
Johnson C. Smith would take advantage of their final two possessions of the half, as Wallace hit Taylor on a fly pattern on third-and-13 and the sophomore from West Columbia, S.C. outdistanced the BC secondary in recording the 66 yard touchdown. A Reese interception set up JCSU with great field position at the Brevard 16 yard line with 1:04 left and four plays later Wallace snuck the ball into the end zone with 19 ticks left on the clock as the teams went to the locker rooms tied at 21 apiece.
The momentum shifted to the Golden Bulls as they scored on their second possession in the second half. The possession opened on William Trimble's 32 yard punt return, setting the ball at midfield, and Wallace found Dedric Anderson in the end zone seven plays later, connecting with running back from 10 yards out to give JCSU their first lead since the opening minutes.
Brevard responded on their next drive behind their premier rushing attack as four different Tornados toted the ball in the nine-play, 60 yard drive before Jack Woerner crashed into the end zone for his first collegiate rushing touchdown, tying the game at 28 apiece with 3:44 to play in the third quarter.
A muffed reception of Clark's kickoff gave the Golden Bulls possession on their own 11 yard line, but Wallace marched JCSU down the field, taking 3:30 to move 89 yard on 10 plays before carrying the ball in from seven yards out on a quarterback draw for his second rushing touchdown of the game to give JCSU the lead back in the closing seconds of the third quarter.
A Reese incompletion set up a Brevard field goal attempt in their next possession, but Clark was unable to connect fro m40 yards out, pulling the ball wide left to keep the score at 35-28, but the Tornados defense rose up to the challenge, forcing a three-and-out. The BC special teams got involved in the action, breaking through the line on Tyler Rabb's ensuing punt attempt and the ball was tipped, fluttering 16 yards before being downed on the Brevard 34 yard line.
With new life, the Tornados moved the ball 66 yards on 11 plays, scoring on fourth-and-goal from the three yard line as Reese found Church all by himself in the front of the end zone with 3:20 on the close to tie the game.
The Golden Bulls had one final chance in regulation, marching down the field, but Rommie Fairchild broke through the line of scrimmage on third-and-five on the Brevard 22 yard line, sacking Wallace in the middle of the field, and during the ensuing scramble to get the JCSU field goal unit on the field and in play, Julius Wright's 40 yard attempt was pushed wide right as time expired, sending the teams to overtime.
Johnson C. Smith took over possession first in the overtime period and after Rufus Jenkins nearly picked off Wallace's first pass attempt, Walker stepped in front of the desperation pass into the end zone, giving the Tornados the chance to go for the win.
Brevard moved the ball down to the JCSU one yard line before bringing Clark onto the field to attempt the game-winner. After a timeout by JCSU in attempt to ice the kicker, the freshman from Grayson, Ga. calmly drilled the game-winner through the uprights, setting off a celebration in Brevard Memorial Stadium as the Tornados defeated the Golden Bulls, 38-35.
Church led the Brevard offense with 29 carries for 161 yards and added four receptions for 35 yards, including the game-tying touchdown, while Reese was seven-for-15 through the air for 100 yards and two scores. The 100 yard passing performance was the Tornados first since last September 25th when Michael Crumbaker threw for 104 yards against Southern Virginia.
Defensively the Tornados were led by Barker's 10 tackles, while Richard Ray and Rommie Fairchild added two sacks apiece. Anthony Shakir also added an interception and a sack in the contest as the Tornados improved to 1-1.
Wallace led Johnson C. Smith both on the ground and through the air, toting the ball 20 times for 79 yards and two scores, while going 25-for-42 through the air for 325 yards and three touchdowns. Taylor was on the receiving end for the longest play of the night on his way to hauling in seven catches for 126 yards.
The Tornados remain at home next weekend as they open South Atlantic Conference play and host Family Weekend as they welcome Mars Hill College to Brevard Memorial Stadium. Kickoff between the SAC rivals is set for 2 p.m.

The "Grand Modell of Charles Town" included the lower peninsula city of Charleston up to present-day Beaufain Street. The peninsular area north of the town, from an early period, was called Charles Town Neck, and later Charleston Neck. As the town grew, it continued to be applied always to the area beyond the city limits. The early city directories reserved a separate section for residents of The Neck.
It was some time before all of the area within the Grand Modell was developed. Large tracts persisted, such as Lot No. 80 of the Grand Modell, containing a little over nine acres on the north side of the creek where Market Street now runs. Granted to Sir Peter Colleton and sold by his grandson John Colleton in 1736, the tract was laid out as Colleton Square by 1739. Another large tract of 34 acres located north of Broad Street and west of Archdale Street was laid out by the heirs of Isaac Mazyck in 1742.
Outside the Grand Modell, landowners to whom had been granted large tracts of land or who had acquired them through the years, laid out on The Neck numerous subdivisions of real estate called Boroughs of Villages. In most instances these were given the names of the developing landowners.
The suburbs of Ansonborough, Rhettsbury, Middlesex, the Glebe Lands and Harleston Village were laid out before the Revolution, in the area between the town boundary and the new street called Boundary Street (now Calhoun).
After the Revolution, the city was incorporated in 1783 with Boundary Street as the northern boundary. By an act of March 13, 1789, the boundaries were extended to include the two blocks lying between Meeting and St. Philip streets, south of Hutson and Vanderhorst streets, containing the sites on which the Orphan House and the Tobacco Inspection were to be built. By Acts of December 13, 1815 and December 21, 1822, the eastern and western boundaries were declared to be the channels of the Ashley and Cooper Rivers.
After the Revolution, suburbs were developed north of Boundary Street, including Mazyckborough, Wraggborough, Radcliffeborough, Cannonborough, Elliottborough, Islington,, Hampstead, and the Villages of Washington and Newmarket. The latter, developed on lands of the Blake family, took its name from one of the famous race-tracts, the Newmarket Race Course.
An Act of December 19, 1849, annexed to the city that part of the Parish of St. Philip which lay between the then existing northern boundary (Boundary or Calhoun Street) and a line drawn due west from the Cooper River to the Ashley River, by the junction of Meeting and King streets. This line ran through the center of Mount Pleasant Street and was the city's northern boundary for more than 120 years. The boundary was advanced up The Neck again in 1969, 1970 and 1976.
In 1960, the city began to expand across the Ashley River, with the annexation of a portion of St. Andrew's Parish. Expansion of the city west of the Ashley has continued into the 1980s.
Approximate population figures for the City of Charleston were: 1,000 to 1,200 in 1690; 6,800 in 1742; 12,000 in 1775; 23,300 in 1820; 40,500 in 1860; 52,300 in 1880; 55,807 in 1900; 70,200 in 1950; 66,945 in 1970; 69,510 in 1980. In December 1983 the Trident Chamber ofr Commerce estimated the population of the city at 72,000 and of the metropolitan area at 291,400.

Diversity Remains Elusive in Texas Teacher Force
As Latinos and African Americans continue to dominate the classrooms in Texas public schools, the diversity of the teachers is not keeping up, 1200 WOAI news reports.
"Roughly a third of our teachers come from the two main minority groups, but more than 60% of our kids do," said Debbie Ratcliffe of the Texas Education Agency.
Since immigrant populations of all types have a tendency to be younger than the general population, classrooms are the first to experience demographic change. Even though Texas has been a 'minority majority' state for nearly a decade, meaning traditional minorities outpace Anglos in the total population, that has been the case in Texas schools since the early 1990s.
While Hispanics will not become the overall majority in the state's population for another twenty years, Hispanics already account for more than 50% of the students in the state's public schools.
Immigrant groups have always had more children and have been younger demographically than native populations. And, generally being poorer, first and second generation immigrants are far more likely to have their children in public school than Anglo families. Also, an Anglo child is far more likely than a majority child to attend, and graduate from college, a requirement to becoming a teacher in Texas.
Ratcliffe says obtaining a more diverse teacher pool is a goal of the TEA and of the state's independent school districts.
"We have one of the largest teaching populations in the country just because of our size," she said. "Our teachers are becoming a more diverse group, but we still don't quite match the ethnic makeup of the student population."
She says gender diversity is an issue too, especially in the elementary grades where the vast majority of teachers are women.
In many ways, the problem will work itself out over time, as Latinos become more likely to go on to college and as the larger population of young Latinos moves into the professional work force.

Guy wrote:Hello All,
Another thread made me wonder, what are the Theravada and/or Mahayana views on someone who renounces the path of a Bodhisatta in order to practice for Arahantship. Is this mentioned at all in the Suttas of either tradition?
With Metta,
Ãcariya Mun related that in ages past he had made a similar resolution
– in his case, a solemn vow to become a Buddha. As with Ãcariya
Sao, intensifying his efforts at meditation caused Ãcariya Mun to recollect
this long-standing intention, and this underlying attachment made
him reluctant to strive for the attainment of Nibbãna in his present life.
Ãcariya Mun renounced his vow to be a Buddha only after he began
practicing dhutanga kammaååhãna, for he then realized that its fulfillment
would take far too long. It required eons of traversing the round
of saÿsãra: being born, growing old, becoming ill, and dying over and
over again, enduring misery and pain indefinitely.
Renouncing the original vow relieved Ãcariya Mun of this concern,
opening the way for his meditation to progress smoothly. The fact that
he could so easily abandon the original vow indicates that it was not yet
so firmly fixed in his conscious being that he couldn't detach himself
from it.

With Metta,
Since the idea of a bodhisatta vow is something that was developed after the death of the Buddha (before the rise of the Mahayana), the Pali suttas do not mention the "bodhisatta vow." Within the Pali tradition (not the suttas) and likely in common with other Mainstream schools (before the rise of the Mahayana) one vowed to be come a sammasambuddha at the feet of a living Buddha, being only a step away from becoming an arahant. Later Theravadin commentaries developed a variation to accomadate those who would want to follow this path but did not have access to a living Buddha.Guy wrote:Hello All,

With Metta,
I have taught the Dhamma without an inner or an outer version. The Tathagata has no closed fist with regard to teachings. — DN 16. No bodhisatta path to be found taught by the Buddha in the suttas or Vinaya. It is a later development.Dan74 wrote:Maybe he did teach it...
Huh? Ven Dhammika? the stereotypical modern Theravada monk described by Ven Dhammika And he is a reliable source? Mahayana monks are super-duper compassionate, but the "typical" Theravadin monk is not? I think there might be some problems with that. So the typical Theravadin monks and nuns, according to one critic, are hardly exemplars, but can we say that the "typical" Mahayana monks/nuns live up to the ideal fully - right?Whether the apocryphal Jataka takes or many examples of the Buddha's life, he certainly embodied compassion and concern for others. This seems to be a far cry from the stereotypical modern Theravada monk described by Ven Dhammika for example.
The problem is that selfishness is going to be part of one's course until there is an actual insight into the nature of the self. Also, implied in the this that Theravadins are selfish in their motivation, but Mahayanists are not. One cannot selfishly opt for a "selfless" practice to show how wonder one is?After all the practical significance of the vows is to set a selfless course from the outset.
But then, of course, without individual concern, concern for others is not too terribly meaningful. It is worth noting that the above is a reflection of what can be found in a more expansive earlier Pali texts where we find the Buddha stating:In Shantideva's compendium of Mahayana thought, the "Sikshasammuccaya," we find quoted from the Mayahana Ayrya-Sagaramati Sutra:
"There is another rule that can serve as the epitome of Mahayana: 'By taking care to avoid stumbling oneself, one will protect all beings.'"
And he quotes from the Bodhisattva-Pratimoksa:
"If, O Sariputra, one wishes to protect others, one should protect oneself."
And Mahayana monks were never too arrogant and self centered. The problem is that early Mahayana, once it introduced the us-versus-them ugly word hinayana and it baggage, it became in many ways an oppositional teaching: We are more compassionate (look at our bodhisattva ideal ((they developed))), we are have more wisdom, our Buddha is wiser, more powerful, our path of practice is deeper, better, etc, etc.At least that's what I understand and this appears to be largely the justification for their historical importance - monks were becoming too arrogant and self-centered (according to Mahayana texts promoting the path of the Bodhisattva).
Sariputta states: All those Arahant Buddhas [arahanto sammasambuddha] of the past attained to sambodhi by abandoning the five hindrances, defilements of the mind which weaken understanding, having firmly established the four foundations of mindfulness, and realized the seven factors of awakening as they really are. All the Arahant Buddhas of the future will do likewise, and you, Lord, who are now the Arahant, fully-awakened Buddha, have done the same.
BlackBird wrote:I have a question. What causes someone to choose the Paccekabuddha path? What does one gain by striving to be a Paccekabuddha if the end result of Nibbana is the same as if one had pursued the path to arahantship?
Ven Nyanatiloka may not be totally correct in the second to last sentence. There does seem to be some suggestion in the commentaries, following the later story - not found in the suttas - of Sumedha (on the verge of becoming an arahant) vowing before the Buddha Dipankara, that one might be able to follow suit. The Buddha, however, never taught this a a way of practice. One does not vow to be a Paccekabuddha; it happens as result of one's practice.bodhi
(from verbal root budhi, to awaken, to understand): awakenment, enlightenment, supreme knowledge. "(Through Bodhi) one awakens from the slumber or stupor (inflicted upon the mind) by the defilements (kilesa) and comprehends the Four Noble Truths (sacca)" (Com. to M. 10).
The enlightenment of a Buddha is called sammā-sambodhi, 'perfect enlightenment'. The faith (saddhā) of a lay follower of the Buddha is described as "he believes in the enlightenment of the Perfect One" (saddahati Tathāgatassa bodhim: M.53, A.III.2).
As components of the state of enlightenment and contributory factors to its achievement, are mentioned in the texts: the 7 factors of enlightenment (bojjhanga = bodhi-anga) and the 37 'things pertaining to enlightenment' (bodhipakkhiya-dhammā). In one of the later books of the Sutta-Pitaka, the Buddhavamsa, 10 bodhipācana-dhammā are mentioned, i.e. qualities that lead to the ripening of perfect enlightenment; these are the 10 perfections (pāramī).
There is a threefold classification of enlightenment:
1. that of a noble disciple (sāvaka-bodhi, q.v.). i.e. of an Arahat,
2. of an Independently Enlightened One (pacceka-bodhi, q.v.), and
3. of a Perfect Enlightened One (sammā-sambodhi).
This 3-fold division, however, is of later origin, and in this form it neither occurs in the canonical texts nor in the older Sutta commentaries. The closest approximation to it is found in a verse sutta which is probably of a comparatively later period, the Treasure Store Sutta (Nidhikkanda Sutta) of the Khuddakapātha, where the following 3 terms are mentioned in stanza 15: sāvaka-pāramī, pacceka-bodhi, buddha-bhūmi (see Khp. Tr., pp. 247f.).
The commentaries (e.g. to M., Buddhavamsa, Cariyapitaka) generally give a 4-fold explanation of the word bodhi:
1. the tree of enlightenment,
2. the holy path (ariya-magga),
3. Nibbāna,
4 omniscience (of the Buddha: sabbaññutā-ñāna).
As to (2), the commentaries quote Cula-Nidesa where bodhi is defined as the knowledge relating to the 4 paths (of Stream-entry, etc.; catūsu maggesu ñāna).
Neither in the canonical texts nor in the old commentaries is it stated that a follower of the Buddha may choose between the three kinds of enlightenment and aspire either to become a Buddha, a Pacceka-Buddha, or an Arahat-disciple. This conception of a choice between three aspirations is, however, frequently found in present-day Theravāda countries, e.g. in Sri Lanka. http://www.palikanon.com/english/wtb/b_f/bodhi.htm

Dan74 wrote:
That a certain deep kind of selfishness has crept in is evident not just through Ven Dhammika's criticism and not just in Theravada, but through many signs. Heard of many Buddhists NGO's? Quakers, that tiny little group is responsible for setting up Greenpeace, Amnesty International and countless relief initiatives worldwide. What have we done? "Engaged Buddhism" is a kind of an oxymoron, isnt it, in spite of good Thay's trying.
all liberated beings are arahants, and all of them practiced some form of bodhisatta path

Only if you get entangled in the world (and it adds to cravings, aversion and such)... otherwise it's a good outlet for lovingkindness and compassion.
Paññāsikhara wrote:Even in late commentarial Theravada literature, there are three "bodhisatta paths", one towards savaka-bodhi, one for paccekabuddha-bodhi, and another for sammasambuddha-bodhi.
Also, in Theravada literature from beginning to end, the term "arahat" is used to describe any of these three, eg. the sammasambuddha is also an arhat.
So, we may wish to clarify questions like "someone who renounces the path of a Bodhisatta in order to practice for Arahantship". Technically, without specifying which type of bodhisatta or which type of arahant, this is a flat out contradiction! ie. all liberated beings are arahants, and all of them practiced some form of bodhisatta path.
Dan74 wrote:I guess the intention (as always) would be crucial. What do you actually mean by these words, Guy? What exactly is being renounced?
From a Theravadin standpoint this is not an issue. From a Mahayana standpoint - generally - it is really a meaningless thing to do, given that according to some Mahayanists the arhats end up in a sort of "fake" nibbana, thinking they have attained what needs to be attained. Somewhere down the line they sort of wake up to the fact that they need to recognize that their supposed awakening really is not what they thought and that they need to get on with being bodhisattvas.Guy wrote:
To clarify - What I mean is a hypothetical situation where someone vows to be a Bodhisatta with the intention of perfecting the Ten Paramis to become a SammaSamBuddha sometime in the future but then (at a later time, perhaps many lifetimes later) they decide that they would rather not endure so much suffering and instead decide to pursue the path of Arahantship in this very life to end suffering ASAP in a time when the Teachings of a SammaSamBuddha are already alive and well in the world.
With Metta,
As for striving for one's self, if, from a Theravadin point of view, you areteally doing the practice, "striving for one's self makes no sense, though there is the recognition that "self" cultivation is necessary: "Cunda, it is impossible that one who is himself sunk in the mire should pull out another who is sunk in the mire. But it is possible, Cunda, that one not sunk in the mire himself should pull out another who is sunk in the mire.Dan74 wrote: Striving for my own sake strikes me as kind of insensitive and even a bit pointless. This is the meaning of the Vows for me (No, Tilt, I am not saying Theravada practitioners practice only for themselves, I am just talking about my practice ::peace::)

Prelit Garland
By Cooper
from Katy, Texas
I thought it was perfect. I only wish the battery compartment was smaller. I could not wrap around stairwell as had hoped without battery case showing.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought 6 of these Garlands and the Wreath which worked so well in our very cold climate outdoors! They look beautiful with the snow on them, the timer worked every time and they hang around the garage doors like a postcard!I got so many compliments on them that I gave my older stuff away! They are easy to hang on hooks, sparkle in the sunshine and create my festive holiday! Love them!
As pretty as the picture.

We use our garland on the banister of our stairs. It has a timer the was easy to use and it comes on every night at our designated time and goes off again at our designated time. We love it. Plus it is beautiful. The quality is excellent. Glad we bought it. Very pleased with the end result and get many compliments about it.

A high quality garland-even prettier than the photo implies.
Beautiful garland!!!

I bought this garland to hang on my railing inside my house. It is a beautiful decoration! It is very well made, and very easy to hang up. I bought it because the lights were battery operated and also, because it looks so pretty on line. This garland is a stunning piece of decor and I have received many compliments!!

battery box is weak.
Pricey but well made
By Theresa

Ordered 1 garland to try out. Even though the garland is packed extremely well, it is very hard to get unpacked (twist ties are very difficult to undo). Loved the 1st one so ordered 2 more. Was a bit disappointed because I discovered that 1 of the ornaments was broken and the battery pack wasn't attached to garland like 1st one (I have to reattach with glue gun). It was not worth trying to repack and ship back for replacement. Haven't opened the 3rd box, but hoping it is perfect like the 1st one I ordered. The biggest problem is the bulky, heavy battery pack. I did manage to drape the garland and bring it down along the front of the newels and purchased cording to attach garland to posts/railings. A bit of a struggle putting up yourself, but very pretty when its finished.

Beautiful but battery case is very heavy
By PEF

Great colours and wonderful detail on this garland. I really like having no cords to deal with but be warned - the batteries are all D cell and therefore the end with the battery housing is very heavy!
Very pretty

This garland is very pretty and I love the ornaments on it. I received many compliments on it's appearance. I needed a second one, but when I tried to reorder they were sold out. I sure hope they get more in (that match) for next year.One thing I think needs updating is the battery pack! This garland uses 'D' batteries! In this day and age, I would think a small battery pack would be more earth friendly!
