The Town of Sellersburg is asking residents to comment on a draft of the TIF District Study at a public open house on Monday, December 13 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Sellersburg Town Hall, 316 E. Utica Street.
The staff and students of Pleasant Ridge Elementary School in Charlestown are reaching out to the community for a little help. They are looking to begin a program that will help feed the students over the weekend when school in not in session. The program "Blessings in a Backpack" is designed to feed elementary school children whose families qualify for the federal free and reduced meal program and may not have any or enough food on the weekends. When there is a Friday or Monday holiday, students may have to go as many as three and a half days with little or nothing to eat. Better test scores, improved reading skills, positive behavior, improved health and increased attendance have all been attributed to the success of the Blessings in a Backpack program. Currently $80 feeds one child in the program for an entire school year. Every Friday, students receive their backpacks with staples that require little to no preparation. They return with their backpacks on Monday ready to learn. A teacher in Orlando, Florida wrote, regarding the program: "This program really benefits our students and has improved their lives. Our test scores show an increase in all of our children's ability to write, read and compute." The Blessings in a Backpack program was founded by Stan Curtis. The program's motto is "Feeding the Future of America, One School at a Time." It is a 501(c) non-profit organization currently feeding over 18,000 students in 16 states. Jonathan Jennings Elementary School became the first school in Clark County to participate in the program earlier this year. The program at Pleasant Ridge Elementary will begin with 20 students. If you would like to make a donation to help fund the Blessings in a Backpack program at Pleasant Ridge Elementary please send your donation, checks made payable to Blessings in a Backpack, to Pleasant Ridge Elementary, c/o Michelle Dyer, 1250 Monroe Street, Charlestown, IN 47111. Please designate on your check Pleasant Ridge Elementary to ensure the donation benefits local children. For more information on the Blessings in a Backpack program at Pleasant Ridge Elementary please call Michelle Dyer or Pam Chastain at 812-256-7286.

One of the most famous inventions in San Joaquin County history is the track-laying tractor, which today we associate with the name Caterpillar. This milestone in technology was well-suited to the deep peat soil of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and will be linked forever to the name of Stockton inventor and entrepreneur Benjamin Holt (1849-1920).
The Holt 75 Caterpillar tractor at left was purchased new in 1919 by Barrett Brothers Farms of Antelope, Sacramento County, and used well into the 1930s. In 2010, the estate of Gerald Barrett donated it to the Museum. Currently, volunteers and Museum staff are restoring the tractor with the goal of making it fully operational.
Built between 1906 and 1925, the Holt 75 was the best selling of Holt tractors. It had a reputation as a quality farming tractor and was used in World War I to haul artillery and munitions.
Gasoline-powered tractors such as these were a big improvement over steam-powered traction engines. Steam boilers exploded if steam pressure got too high or if water levels in the boiler got too low. Cinders from the steam engines often started fires, especially in the dry fields of grain common in San Joaquin County. And because they had to carry hundreds of gallons of water, steam traction engines were very heavy—often fifty thousand pounds—which, of course, caused them to sink into the deep peat soils of the Delta.
The Holt 75 Caterpillar Tractor had a seventy-five horsepower gasoline engine, was twenty feet long, weighed twenty-four thousand pounds (the weight of six and one-half Honda Accords), and distributed its weight more evenly than predecessors because of its track-laying propulsion system. In eleven years of production, about 4,160 Holt 75s were made, 1,810 of which were ordered by the military (75 percent by the British).
Visitors who attend the Fresno Scraper re-designation on Saturday, March 26, 2011, can view the Museum's Holt 75 as it undergoes restoration. To facilitate planning, persons interested in attending this event are requested to e-mail the Museum at email@example.com with their name and the number in their party.
David Stuart is executive director/CEO of the San Joaquin County Historical Society and Museum.

In an earlier blog, I addressed San Joaquin County's lesser-known Chinese-American "potato king," Chin Lung (January 25, 2012). Here's the story of the County's nationally known "potato king," Japanese-American George Shima.
Japanese immigrant Ushijima Seikichi, later known as George Shima, arrived in San Joaquin County in 1889 and worked his way from migrant laborer to farmer in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Shima's innovative farming techniques produced top-quality potatoes, which brought a premium price on the market. The soft peat soil was ideal for growing smooth-skinned, high-quality potatoes, and Shima perfected the sub-irrigation of the crop using narrow trenches, or "spud ditches," every thirty rows of potato plants.
Shima was a moderately successful potato farmer in the early 1900s, when he struck up an important friendship with Lee Allen Phillips, a Los Angeles attorney, financier, and Delta reclamation agent.
He and Lee Phillips…had a lot of confidence in each other. Phillips recognized Shima as the producer, the man who could grow things. Shima saw in Phillips the man who made the big deals in land, who got the backing.… [They] had a unique arrangement. Just two men, in mutual confidence, risking hundreds of thousands of dollars on the other fellow's honesty and reliabilityPhillips, the dreamer, and Shima, the man who made a lot of dreams come true. (J. C. McCarthy, former superintendent of operations for Lee Phillips, Stockton Record.)
Phillips would purchase Delta land, arrange for construction of levees to reclaim a tract or island, then lease the land to Shima, who moved in crews of Asian workers to clear the tules and plant an initial grain crop. After that initial crop, potatoes were planted. Shima leased as many as fourteen thousand acres from Phillips.
By 1906, Shima was growing more potatoes than any other farmer in the world. He became famous nationally when the Stockton Record published a widely reprinted story on "the potato king."
Shima had three riverboats built in Stockton to transport his potatoes to the San Francisco Bay Area for wholesale distribution. Shima's lavish yearly entertainments for bankers, produce merchants, and journalists became legendary. He, Lee Phillips, and other capitalists financed the construction of the Stockton Hotel, the luxury hotel that still stands in downtown Stockton.
Shima first purchasedrather than leasedDelta farmland in 1910: eight hundred acres just north of the potato farm of the Chinese "potato king" Chin Lung on what is now known as the Shima Tract. A year later he bought eight hundred acres on McDonald Island, west of Stockton. His success, visibility, and these land purchases apparently contributed to the statewide agitation for the Alien Land Law, which a couple years later forbid Japanese from purchasing land and severely restricted land leasing.
Shima was a major stockholder in California Delta Farms, formed in 1912 by Lee Phillips through the merger of six Delta land companies. California Delta Farms owned 37,400 acres of Delta farmland.
In the 1920s, Shima had to dismantle his "potato empire" due to the Alien Land Laws. Shima became a leader in the fight against these laws. He was president of the national Japanese Association of America from 1908 through 1925, the most important leader for Japanese in the United States.
Shima also left a legacy of supporting students attending the University of California and Stanford University. He is memorialized in San Joaquin County by the Shima Center at San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton.
The San Joaquin County Historical Museum had an exhibit on George Shima before I became executive director six years ago. We still get frequent requests from Museum visitors for directions to that prior exhibit. I hope we can again tell the Shima story in an exhibit in the near future. If you have ideas, artifacts, or photos that might be included, please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Pick a number. Any number. The official launch of Australia's debate about our future population started with a rude awakening this past week: it quickly became pretty clear that a debate is very necessary because nobody seems to understand the various numbers that will determine Australia's population in 2050.
There is considerable confusion, for example, about just how many people have been coming to Australia in recent years. There are wildly differing views about whether that (somewhat unclear) number is "too many", and almost no understanding of how those numbers might relate to the biggest number of all: 36 million.
Thirty-six million is the number which started the whole population discussion. It is the population forecast for 2050 generated by Federal Treasury last year as it prepared the latest inter-generational report. The forecast had grown by more than 7 million in just two years.
Treasury secretary Ken Henry summed up the impact the new number had on thinking within the government and the bureaucracy when he said last year that "until recently, we had been thinking about population dynamics in terms of ageing and a rising dependency ratio", but the new projections "shone a light on a whole new dimension of our thinking".
Suddenly the issues focusing the minds of the government, he said, were where all these extra people would live, how they would be educated and employed, what would be required of government, and what impact such numbers would have on the environment.
In fact, would the environment actually be capable of carrying such numbers?
Agriculture Minister Tony Burke has been given the job – a new portfolio of population minister – of driving the work already under way in the government to try to answer these questions.
But before we get to debate the loftier questions of infrastructure, environmental sustainability and the capacity of our cities to grow further, it's worth noting a few matters that have emerged from the debate that has raged this past week in the wake of Burke's appointment.
That debate has been dominated by the call by opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison for a cut in the rate of immigration from about 300,000 a year.
What was interesting about the entire furore is that the immigration debate is usually conducted in terms of the size of the annual migration program for permanent immigrants arriving under the family, skills and humanitarian programs. This is running at just under 170,000 after the government cut it by about 22,000 last year.
But this program has been swamped in relative terms in recent years by the numbers arriving on student visas and short-term skilled migration visas, among a number of other visas which most people would think of as temporary in nature but which are measured as part of the annual net overseas migration figures because they are granted for more than 12 months.
The biggest group – students – almost matches the number of people arriving under the formal annual intake.
When Morrison called for a cut in the migration numbers, he wasn't talking about the annual intake but these other categories.
This would be fine, except it immediately raised the ire of the tourism industry and business, which rely on access to pools of skilled labour and travellers.
The education industry was notably quiet because it knows Immigration Minister Chris Evans has acted in the past 12 months to drastically reduce the number of students coming here, largely by removing much of the incentive that actually drove the student program – the possibility of applying for permanent residency once you got here.
He also tightened up the 457 skills visas, which had originally been designed to attract top-end professionals. In the later years of the Howard government, Evans says, "people were bringing in unskilled Chinese labour who were being exploited and undercutting Australian wages and conditions.
"The previous government never cleaned it up," he says. "It's a valuable scheme that should rise and fall with economic activity and, in fact, as we made the changes, it has done, so it's pleasing that economic theory is reflected in actual outcomes."
One of the things the Rudd government did when it came into office was to begin work on a long-term planning framework for immigration that sought to include a consideration of what was happening in all the programs outside the formal intake.
The framework "will give us a knowledge base and understanding about how [all the demand] factors interact", Evans says.
"I mean, the debate in the past couple of days has highlighted the fact that the opposition spokesman doesn't understand it, so clearly there is not a broad understanding about how all these factors interact.
"People's thinking is purely focused on the annual permanent migration figure, and that's increasingly of less importance given the globalisation of our economy and the movement of people around the world for other than permanent reasons – students, temporary workers, working holidaymakers, etc. – so the framework is about bringing all that into consideration as the government puts in place an understanding about decisions about optimal migration levels.
"If you are thinking about population policy, that's one key element of a population policy."
But what should the actual input of migration be to Australia's population?
Economic modelling done for the government by Australian National University professor Peter McDonald suggests the optimum number of annual arrivals – in terms of addressing population ageing and workforce requirements – is 180,000.
Whether that turns out to be the best number in terms of our cities and the environment is yet to be determined.
By coincidence, 180,000 is the annual number Treasury plugged in as a long-term average to get to its 36 million forecast.
Two obvious problems spring to mind that the debate so far has gone nowhere near addressing.
Migration is now running at almost twice that rate – although the various measures Evans has taken to put some controls on programs such as student visas will see it return to about those levels in the next couple of years.
Staying at 180,000, however, will be a struggle given the resurgent commodities boom and the demand for skills and labour.
The second problem is that there is community resistance to the idea of 36 million people in Australia by mid-century – the number that pops out in 2050 with a migration level of 180,000.
A Lowy Institute poll released this past week showed 69 per cent of people don't think Australia should grow to 36 million by 2050, although 72 per cent of Australians prefer a population larger than the current 22 million.
The sensitivities in this debate are enormous – as Morrison discovered in the past week when he was forced to backtrack after being disowned by his party and castigated by business.
Neither side of politics is now endorsing 36 million as a target, even as both sides know that on current trends they will be struggling to keep population growth even to this level.
This is probably the first dirty little secret in the current political debate.
Equally, however, neither side of politics yet likes to talk about actually cutting immigration.
Despite the surface ripples of anti-immigration sentiment in the electorate – most conspicuous in the hostility to people claiming asylum who arrive by boat – the entrenched forces in support of continuing high immigration are strong.
The biggest question for both sides of politics in the coming years will flow from two countervailing forces.
On the one hand, there will be pressure for more skilled workers to meet labour shortages, which will almost inevitably lead Australia to consider guest worker options.
On the other hand, there will be pressure to constrain immigration, not just the sort of measures used by Evans, but actual caps on all programs that bring in more people from overseas.

Haustbrandt has several different origin coffees in their ESE Espresso pod line that makes it a fun rotation to taste the pods together seeing what Hausbrandt can do with the coffees in an expression of espresso; how they bring out the best in a typical country's coffee. Hausbrandt is based in Trieste, Italy and was founded in 1892 by Hermann Hausbrandt. He set up the Prima Tostatura Tiestina di Caffe and brought innovation to the coffee roasting business using the first electrically monitored roasting process, a cooling cycle and efficient distribution to get fresh coffee to users.
Today, Hausbrandt still practices the craft of roasting high quality coffees and by working with coffees all over the world, they can bring an experience that is fun to explore and with ESE pods, easy to use.
Overall, I liked the Hausbrandt ESE Pods, and could easily see the differences in the ones it tasted.
These can be found in the Hausbrandt Sampler at Amazon, so you can do your own run-off, or separately.

Whitewater Rafting by Rasheed, Kohner, Scotty, and JB
We love the splashy thrills of the American River. We noticed how different the rapids were from the calm parts of the river, and wondered how the same river could have such differences in it. Our question: what makes the water flow differently in the rapids compared to a calmer stretch of river? How can we use what we learn to help us become better whitewater rafters?
What did we do?
We compared a calm stretch of the river with an active rapid, and measured the river elevation change and water speed in each. Then we investigated river obstacles such as tongues, eddies, and holes. We also checked out how different paddling styles affected our navigation abilities. As the final test, we rafted through Satan's Cesspool, a rockin' Class III rapids at the end of our trip.
What did we find out?
For the calm versus active waters, we found a greater elevation change in the rapid areas than in the calm stretch. We found that the water around tongues, eddies and holes pushes our raft around in various directions, which helped us avoid getting dumped into the river. Finally, we learned that there is a time and a place to back paddle and forward paddle. For example, you might want to back paddle through an eddy, and forward paddle through a tongue.
- When rivers carve out a path, they tend to "meander," which means that they snake back and forth. Make a river model with sand in a jelly roll pan. Tilt the pan, pour water slowly at the top, and watch how the water carves out a meandering river.
- One interesting feature of river rapids is called an "eddy," a calm spot on the backside of a large boulder in the river. If you want to find eddies indoors, use a room fan and place objects in front of it. Use a streamer on a stick to show how the air flows around the object.
- How does the temperature of water in a lake or stream differ at different depths? Design an investigation to find out.

You can certainly count on using 3.1.5 in a production environment--I have
never seen or heard reports of this sort of behavior.
So my first question would be "how long have you had this server running?"

A British parliamentary report has said that media mogul Rupert Murdoch showed "willful blindness" over phone hacking at his News of the World tabloid and is not fit to run a major company.
"We conclude, therefore, that Rupert Murdoch is not a fit person to exercise the stewardship of a major international company," the cross-party culture committee said on Tuesday in its long-awaited report on the scandal.
"News International and its parent News Corporation exhibited willful blindness, for which the companies' directors, including Rupert Murdoch and James Murdoch, should ultimately take responsibility," the committee said in its 121-page report.
"If at all relevant times Rupert Murdoch did not take steps to become fully informed about phone-hacking, he turned a blind eye to what was going on in his companies and publications," it said.
"[The Murdochs] brought shame on our police force and our parliament. They lied and cheated, blackmailed and bullied. And we should all be ashamed when we think how we cowered before them for so long."
- MP Tom Watson
The committee, which approved the report by a majority of six to four, scolded News Corporation for misleading the British parliament and trying to cover up illegal phone hacking at the tabloid, News of the World, which Murdoch closed down in disgrace in July last year.
News Corporation in a written statement said it "is carefully reviewing the Select Committee's report and will respond shortly".
Staff blamed
Murdoch and his son, James Murdoch, who was News International's chairman and chief executive at the time, both gave evidence to the committee on July 19 last year, when Murdoch senior was attacked with a foam pie by a protester.
James was forced to resign as executive chairman of News International in February last year. He later also stepped down as chairman of BSkyB, but remains on its board.
The committee's report, entitled "News International and Phone-Hacking", said senior executives at the company had misled their investigation.
The panel said it was now for parliament's lower House of Commons to decide "what punishment should be imposed" on those it thinks have treated the committee with contempt.
The report singled out former News International executive chairman Les Hinton, former News of the World legal manager Tom Crone and the newspaper's final editor Colin Myler as having misled the committee.
The Murdochs blamed Crone and News of the World former editor Colin Myler for the scandal.
Labour MP Tom Watson, himself a target of phone hacking, held Rupert Murdoch chiefly responsible.
"More than any individual alive, he's to blame. Morally, the deeds are his. He paid the piper, and he called the tune," said Watson.
"It is his company, his culture, his people, his business, his failure, his lies, his crimes, the price of profits and his power."
Watson added that the Murdochs "brought shame on our police force and our parliament. They lied and cheated, blackmailed and bullied. And we should all be ashamed when we think how we cowered before them for so long".
Rupert Murdoch apologised for the scandal but told the Leveson inquiry into press ethics last week that senior staff at his British newspaper publisher had hidden the hacking scandal from him.
His 39-year-old son has also apologised for failing to get to the bottom of the scandal but said he was kept in the dark by staff at the paper.

Delete all linux partition, create new primary partition there. 3. Install GAG. straight forward and very easy. 4. Install pc-bsd, to the new partition, without the pc-bsd bootloader. In my case, it's safe for my windows partition. It's not touched during the whole process. 5. Add each OS to GAG. Overall it was actually simple and easy. Wireless networking need a little work to setup. But display resolution can't get more than 800x600 using vesa. Perhaps that's because i use 64bit version.

RobotWorx History
RobotWorx has been helping companies maintain their competitive edge for over 20 years. By offering customized integration utilizing "off the shelf" proven technology, RobotWorx keeps costs low and quality high. This allows customers to focus on what they do best, while RobotWorx assists increasing efficiencies and maximizing ROI.
Welding engineer and entrepreneur Mr. Keith Wanner founded RobotWorx on August 4, 1992. His goal was to fill a gap in the market between large, full-service robot integrators and small welding distributors installing robots.
Before starting RobotWorx, Mr. Wanner worked for a number of robotic companies including Cybo Systems, GE Robotics, Advanced Robotics and Cybotech. He gained valuable experience, but he also found that many customers were dissatisfied with the quality of service, and disillusioned about robots. Hoping to change this, Wanner established RobotWorx on the following principles:
Concentrate on customer needs and satisfaction.
Maintain a professional work attitude.
Keep rates and costs low by minimizing overhead.
The Used Robot and the Internet
Mr. Wanner's vision combined used robotics and web sales. This unique approach has made RobotWorx what it is today.
Since their introduction into modern welding and manufacturing in the 1980's, industrial robots, like computers, have become a commodity product. At first, they were installed by integrators who built the systems from the ground up. Robots today are much more interchangeable and used for a large variety of applications. This has led to a robust market in used robotic systems.
At the same time, the Internet has grown into a valuable shopping tool. In the past, companies attended trade shows for the latest technology news, but now they rely on the web. Wanner recognized this trend early on and focused on building a strong online presence. Now the majority of RobotWorx' sales leads come through the web.
RobotWorx Today
In 2005, RobotWorx moved from Delaware, Ohio, to a larger building in Marion, Ohio. The new 125,000 sq. ft. facility is located on 10 acres of land. The shop area is three times larger, allowing RobotWorx to purchase and stock more robots. Click here for directions to our facility.
RobotWorx was acquired by SCOTT Technology Limited in 2014 and now is part of their publicly traded company. RobotWorx continues to grow and operate as it always has, and continues to increase sales from year to year. It employs over 30 full time staff members, including Ohio State University welding engineers.

Decorate in a Pinch
In fact, you really only need one party decoration (hint: it's a pinata). It's colorful! It's interactive! It's wise to hand out the broom before everyone has had three margaritas! Buy a big piñata that fits the mood of the fiesta (try orientaltrading.com or confettisystem.bigcartel.com). "Fill it with dollar-store items in one color. Monochromatic always looks chic," says Calder Clark. "Buy things people can wear, like sunglasses and necklaces. It will make fun photographs." Other festive loot: lottery tickets and—especially for a pool party—mini water pistols.

|A new partnership (left to right): CIGNA HealthCare of Colorado client strategy specialist Kimberly Eberhard and client manager Diane Clark, with UCAR benefits administrator Cyd Perrone, benefits manager Laurie Carr, and benefits administrative assistant Kristen Alipit. (Photo by Carlye Calvin.)
UCAR employees this fall will have the option of selecting CIGNA HealthCare for their 2002 medical and dental benefits. CIGNA, which features a comprehensive network of physicians in Colorado and nationwide, replaces PacifiCare.
Employees can choose between two CIGNA plans: a preferred provider organization (PPO) that allows a wide choice of primary care doctors and specialists, and a health maintenance organization (HMO) that provides coverage for specified doctors only. CIGNA will also offer a dental plan.
As before, employees also will have the option of using the Kaiser Permanente HMO plan.
All staffincluding those who are remaining with Kaiser or declining UCAR health benefitsmust choose a plan during the open enrollment period that runs from 29 October to 30 November. As in past years, employees will make their health care selections on line; HR will announce the Web address before the start of open enrollment.
The new benefits will take effect on 1 January. Beginning in 2002, UCAR also will offer a free CIGNA employee assistance plan (EAP) to provide confidential counseling and other types of support to all staff and their familieseven those who are casuals or student assistants, or who do not have UCAR health benefits. The EAP's services, which will be available 24 hours every day of the year, are designed to help in situations ranging from crisis intervention and ongoing problems to questions about legal services and financial assistance.
In addition, UCAR has selected Denver Reserve to administer its flexible spending accounts for health care and dependent care. Once employees sign up for flex spending, they will be able to go on line to check balances and other information about their accounts.
UCAR asked Watson Wyatt, its actuarial and benefits consultant, to identify potential replacement medical plans. After an analysis of the insurers' provider networks, depth of coverage, and discounts, as well as contract proposals that the insurers submitted, HR recommended that UCAR select CIGNA. The President's Council approved the recommendation last month.
HR director Bob Roesch notes that one of CIGNA HealthCare's best features is its broad network that includes three major providers in its Boulder County HMO: Boulder Medical Center, Avista Hospital in Louisville, and Longmont Clinic. These providers have dropped from the PacifiCare Exclusive Provider Organization network over the past few yearsa change that caused many employees to switch from the EPO to the PPO, resulting in higher monthly premiums for the employees and higher costs for UCAR.
"CIGNA is a national insurer and has PPO and HMO networks throughout the country," says HR benefits manager Laurie Carr. "This is a significant improvement for employees in the Washington, D.C., area, who have had limited or no access to health care provider networks in the past."
The mailings will include information on the 2002 premiums, which had not been finalized as of press time.
Beginning on 30 October, HR will hold a series of meetings for employees, with CIGNA and Kaiser representatives in attendance, to answer any questions about the plans ( see sidebar).
Employees with specific questions are asked to contact designated benefits staff in HR. Those employees whose last names begin with letters from A to I can contact Kristen Alipit (x8706; email@example.com); those whose names begin with J to R should contact Laurie Carr (x8702; firstname.lastname@example.com); and those whose names begin with S to Z should contact Cyd Perrone (x8710; email@example.com) .
Cyd, who is UCAR benefits administrator, says: "We want the transition to be a smooth one."

Eric the Murse ManModel Male Minneapolis, Minnesota, US
Mayhem # 1618214
About MeI have been interested in modeling for a while, and now have been doing professional photo shoots the last year. I am 31 years old, and can bring anything from youth to maturity, as well as expressiveness to seriousness. My main backround is caucasin but it is also very mixed, so depending on the design of the shoot I will look more or less ethnic. The last few months I have done a large amount of shoots with different photographers, styles and other models, and so feel comfortable and confident in any situation.
Currently I am Oncology nurse at Fairveiw Southdale hospital here in Minnesota and have been for about three years. In the past I have done competition group and partner dance, and have a black belt in karate. I am looking to build up my portfolio and see where this modeling experience will take me. I'm interested in collaborating with other models/photographers to create some great pics and work on part-time opportunities.
Check out my other portfolio with my fiance and baby boy Maverick MM#2790028

Exodus 5:1-23 Moses and Aaron first confrontation with Pharaoh
1 Afterward
Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, "Thus says the LORD God of
10 And the
taskmasters of the people and their officers went out and spoke to the people,
saying, "Thus says Pharaoh: 'I will not give you straw. 11 Go, get
yourselves straw where you can find it; yet none of your work will be reduced.'
" 12
So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the
15 Then the
officers of the children of
20 Then, as they came out from Pharaoh, they met Moses and Aaron who stood there to meet them. 21 And they said to them, "Let the LORD look on you and judge, because you have made us abhorrent in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us."
22 So Moses returned to the LORD and said, "Lord, why have You brought trouble on this people? Why is it You have sent me? 23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has done evil to this people; neither have You delivered Your people at all." NKJV
Facts Revealed:
Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, "Thus
says Yehowah Elohey
Pharaoh's response was that he does not know
Yehowah nor will he let
Y Then Moses and Aaron accurately quoted the Words of God's first command and said, "Elohey Hebrews (the God of the Hebrews) has met with us. Please let us go three days journey into the desert and sacrifice to Yehowah Eloheynov (the Lord our God)," [Exodus 3:18] then they added "lest He fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword."
Pharaoh was unimpressed and said they were
keeping the people from their work so he restricted the supply of straw for
bricks and demanded that the quota of bricks remain the same. This was done so the people of
Y The officers of the Children of Israel asked Pharaoh how they could keep up with the quota of bricks when the straw supply had been cut off.
Y Pharaoh responded that it was because the people were idle that they wanted to take time off to go and sacrifice to Yehowah. So he repeated the demand that the quota of bricks remain the same.
Y When they came out of the meeting with Pharaoh, they met Moses and Aaron, and said, "Let Yehowah look on you and judge, because you have made us abhorrent in the sight of Pharaoh and of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us."
Y This demonstrates human nature when things do not go as expected people tend to accuse the one they view as the cause of their problem, and in this case it was Moses and Aaron, because they did not understand how God was going to make this event turn out right.
Y Again in keeping with the same human nature Moses went to Yehowah and said, "Adoney, why have You brought trouble on this people? Why is it You have sent me? For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has done evil to this people, neither have You delivered Your people at all."
Y We can understand why the people reacted as they did, but it is hard to understand why Moses reacted as he did in self defense since God had been open about the outcome from the very start.
God had told Moses that Pharaoh would not let
the people go until after God had brought all His plagues against
Y Moses should have remembered because God had told him twice, but in the flush of the moment Moses forgot and did not understand all that God had meant with the message.
Y This is just like the people today who do not understand or recognize the signs of our times even though God has described them so plainly and so many times.
Y This is a revelation of God and His ways, as well as a revelation of human nature and mankind's lack of understanding resulting in irrational accusations against God. That is quite a common reaction of people in the world, as well as people in various Church groups.
Y Yet God has a purpose and a plan that He has revealed to us, but too often we fail to understand or to apply it to things that happen that seem to be adversity.

dear all,
I am doing a project to reconstruct a face model from point
cloud file. the point cloud file contains the x,y,z
coordinate, also the RGB value of each points.
I am doing the delaunay triangulation, however, when I call
the function "delaunay" in the matlab, the mesh of the
model is not "finite" enough. the triangles on my model are
really big, not small enough for me to attach the vertex
color.(I wanted to do the finite element effect. I wanted
to connect all points with each other, so that i can
use "patch" to interpolate the color of each vertex)
I am using the the "surfi" in the FEX, however, the patch
does not satisfied my needs. I wanted to modify it or,
create a new files
If i create a new file: my approach would be like this:
1. sort and search the nearest neighbour of the points.
2. check if the points is in the delaunay circumcircle.
3. use the "patch" to connect the edge. and fill the color.
( I don't know how to write the codes)
Can you guys give me some comments with details? Can you
guys judge if my appraoch is correct.

Books in Brief: "Sisters," "Lucky Us"
Sisters by Raina Telgemeier; Graphix/Scholastic, 197 pages ($24.99 hardcover, $10.99, paperback). Ages 8 to 12.
Raina Telgemeier's graphic novels are always a treat, whether she is relaying the trials and tribulations of getting braces in "Smile" or the highs and lows of middle school drama club in "Drama." She offers both humor and heart in this autobiographical tale of her antagonistic relationship with her boisterous younger sister, Amara, told against the frame of a family car trip from San Francisco to a family reunion in Colorado. Teenage Raina, stretched out on a full seat of the family van, tries to tune out the world with headphones, but noisy siblings (Amara plus little brother Will) and the friction of any family car trip (bathroom stops, a heavy downpour, a breakdown) keep interrupting her solitude. Flashbacks are used to tell the story of Raina's relationship with Amara: her wish for a sister, the rude reality of a noisy baby, sharing her room with a difficult sibling (although one who shares her interest in drawing), squabbles between their parents, Raina's difficulties getting along with cousins when they finally reach their destination. The graphic novel is a great format to convey the frictions of a family car trip, including the surprise appearance of a lost pet partway through the journey.

Lucky Us by Amy Bloom; Random House, 256 pages ($26)
I can't think of a book that has more wittily and movingly encapsulated the years from 1939 to 1949, covering both the Second World War and the periods just before and after, than Amy Bloom's latest, "Lucky Us." This richly textured, pitch-perfect flashback had me desperately wanting to somehow contact deceased relatives who lived through that time and quiz them.
The book's protagonist, Eva Acton, might be able to help with that past-life-connection thing. At least so she'd have you believe during her years as a fake psychic tarot-card reader; she's also a thief. And mind you, Eva's the relatively subdued of the two sisters who form the heart of "Lucky Us."
"My father's wife died. My mother said we should drive down to his place and see what might be in it for us," Bloom starts the story. Once in Ohio, before 12-year-old Eva has even been properly introduced to her half-sister, 16-year-old Iris, Mom has left Eva's suitcase on the front steps and driven away.
The sisters form a tenuous bond that strengthens when they hit the road after Dad repeatedly absconds with Iris' "I'm gonna be a star" savings, her winnings and earnings from pageants, Lions Club speeches and such. They head to Hollywood, where Eva plays house while Iris sashays her way into the movie-studio system and its underground lesbian network.
She attends a party where dessert is "a pretty girl with whipped cream and strawberries, laid in thick waves, from her chest to her feet." Iris' lover betrays her, though, and her career sours quickly.
In her practical, unintentionally funny way, Eva tries to console her sis. "It's like I've got the plague," Iris complains when everyone avoids her. "It's like being Typhoid Mary." Eva reassures: "You're not actually killing people."
Laura Klynstra's cover art is sublimely perfect. Designed by Klynstra, it's based on the 2012 oil painting Earthrise by Deborah Van Auten, and features a lion with a zebra perched atop it as the lion walks a tightrope above a stage.
It's an absolutely right-on metaphor for the balancing act the sisters star in through their teen and young adult years, as they deal with all the blessings and turmoils of their patched-together family, which includes just about every subdivision of American society you can think of: gay and straight, black and white, immigrant, stolen child, even a nice-guy mechanic who gets sent to a U.S. internment camp for the dastardly act of having a German last name.
Despite the often fraught, occasionally horrific circumstances Eva and Iris find themselves in, this is a book that's completely permeated with love, humor and kindness. Readers will root for virtually all of the characters, but especially Eva.
Your heart can't help but sing when Eva starts finding her own voice and way in the world: "I'd been wearing Iris's hand-me-downs for four years, badly, and had hardly noticed. Now I bought college-girl clothes and did my hair the way the college-girls did and I stuffed my bra. I had two pairs of new shoes. The pain in my chest, which I had had since the day I was left on the front porch, eased up. It wasn't grief. It was being broke and badly dressed, and now I wasn't."

CEFs With Yield: Pimco Dynamic Income Fund (PDI)
Dividend Yield: 7%
The Pimco Dynamic Income Fund (PDI) is truly a dominant force in the multi-sector/mortgage-backed securities category. The CEF, which is managed by fixed income genius Daniel Ivascyn, commenced operations in May 2012 and has generated significant amounts of UNII ever since posting its first annual report.
PDI's strategy relies heavily on the discounted pricing of mid- to late-2000s vintage non-agency MBSes. The fund works by pairing written-down packages of loans with other high-yield and emerging-market fixed income, then leveraging the portfolio by roughly 45%.
Ivascyn was able to out-earn the fund's distribution policy of 19.1 cents per month by a margin of roughly 10 cents through the last reporting period. In addition, the portfolio management team implements hedging strategies using interest-rate and credit-default swaps to control volatility.
Although non-agency MBSes are essentially a shrinking market due to lack of issuance following the financial crisis, I believe Ivascyn as demonstrated an amazing ability to seek out undervalued sectors of the fixed income market to keep income flowing to his shareholders.
PDI's track record since its inception is nearly unrivaled by other CEFs, and I believe superior expertise of management will allow it to continue well into the future.

Washington DC (SPX) Dec 09, 2009
When the LCROSS rocket stage slammed into Cabeus crater on October 9, creating an impact plume of material that had not seen sunlight for possibly billions of years, it conclusively proved that water ice exists in the dark recesses of the Moon's polar craters.
The LCROSS findings delighted William Feldman, a senior scientist at the Tucson-based Planetary Science Institute. "What got me excited is that everything we said is right, which is a nice feeling."
In 2001, Feldman was the lead author on a paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research entitled "Evidence for Water Ice Near the Lunar Poles," which was based on neutron spectrometer data that he and his instrument team gathered during NASA's 1998 Lunar Prospector mission. Feldman was working at Los Alamos National Laboratory at the time, and came to PSI in 2006.
The paper's conclusions were subsequently confirmed by an extensive series of computer simulations conducted by David Lawrence, of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, and his co-workers. This work was published in the Journal of Geophysical Research in 2006.
As early as 1961, scientists speculated that water ice could be hidden in the deep recesses of lunar polar craters that never see daylight. These are some of the coldest spots in the solar system, and water from comet and meteorite impacts could freeze and remain for billions of years.
Researchers using radar on the 1994 Clementine spacecraft thought they saw signatures for water in their data, but the results were controversial, especially when others, using Earth-based radar, found similar signatures in measurements taken near the Moon's mid-latitude regions, which are exposed to sunlight.
Feldman and his team didn't measure water directly, but their data showed evidence for inordinately large amounts of hydrogen in some craters. Other phenomena, such as the solar wind and outgassing, could account for relatively high levels of hydrogen, "but there was a sufficient amount in some of these craters that it would be hard to understand if it came only from the solar wind or through other processes," Feldman said.
"So in our paper we didn't call it 'evidence for hydrogen,' but 'evidence for water'."
Not everyone agreed, and some controversy surrounded the paper. But, when NASA went looking for water on the Moon with the LCROSS mission, it headed for the Cabeus crater, about 62 miles from the Moon's south pole, that Feldman's Lunar Prospector team had identified as having the maximum hydrogen signature among all the high-latitude craters surveyed.
"This is a big, permanently shaded crater," Feldman said. "In fact, you can't even see it from the Earth because it has a rim that hides it. It takes a satellite to see it."
"When we converted the hydrogen signal to the amount of water ice in the regolith, we found that it was only about 1.5 percent by weight," Feldman added. "That's the reason the radar researchers really couldn't see it. There aren't large enough deposits of high-grade water ice to create the signal needed to identify ice with radar."
So it turns out that Feldman and the Lunar Prospector team showed the first experimental evidence for water on the Moon, which has now been conclusively confirmed by the LCROSS mission.
"There's a lot of interest in water on the Moon right now," Feldman said. "And there is more to be learned. The whole story is not in yet."

Casual Every Day
If you look in my closet, most of my clothes come from Old Navy, Aeropostale, The Gap, American Eagle, etc, etc. Yeah I know, I'm not a college kid anymore. But I work in radio.
It's wonderful.
I'll admit, I know it's a little unfair to everyone else that I get to come to work every day in t-shirts, jeans, sweatshirts in the Winter and the occasional pair of shorts in the dog days of Summer (hey, if Kevin Williams can do it, so can I). But, before you get jealous, there are drawbacks…I own one suit. No joke. It's my wedding and funeral suit. I usually just change up the tie and maybe, if I'm feeling adventurous I'll wear a blue shirt instead of a white shirt. In the past year I've actually had two college friends get married and realized that I had to do something new or I'd look exactly the same in both of their pictures. So I went a little nuts and bought a new shirt and a new tie (I know, I know, "calm down there fella!").
It can actually be a little embarrassing at times. When business casual events roll around I tend to have a hard time finding the happy medium between shorts and t-shirts and a straight up dress suit (keep in mind that I use that term in the singular for a reason).
Is it nice that I can keep it casual at work? Definitely. But maybe, just maybe, it's time to expand my big boy wardrobe a little bit.

In times of struggle, it is human nature to look backwards and sometimes dwell on the past and the pain of unavoidable events
Past News ReleasesRSS
Wichita, KS (PRWEB) April 28, 2008
NowIsTheTimeWristWatch.com today launched a new "dust yourself off, and get back in line again," accessory that aims to change the outlook of those who sport it.
In a world of constant reflection on the past and constant worry about what tomorrow may bring, the main goal of the Now is the Time wristwatch is to inspire timekeepers to live in the only moment that matters - right now. Void of numbers, the Now is the Time wristwatch is instead filled with a uniquely inspirational message. In place of the missing digits, the words "Now is the Time" are laid out in typical clocklike fashion.
"This is more than a wristwatch," stated Van Strickland, creator of the Now is the Time wristwatch. "It's a gateway to dream realization." According to Strickland, the message serves as a constant reminder that the only time that matters is the present. He notes that the idea for the watch came about after witnessing the catastrophic effects of natural disasters like 2006's Hurricane Katrina and last year's ravaging California wildfires that devastated community after community.
"In times of struggle, it is human nature to look backwards and sometimes dwell on the past and the pain of unavoidable events," says Strickland. "Although it may be difficult, I believe that if people can find a way to let go of the pain and trauma of the past, happiness and productivity will flourish. These watches provide a constant, personalized source of encouragement and strength."
Standing behind the belief that positive thoughts must be accompanied by positive actions, NowIsTheTimeWristWatch.com will donate a portion of the sales to the Red Cross for disaster relief, in order to aid victims of misfortune in getting their lives back on track.
The inspiration overflows from the face of the watch. Each band also has a motivational inscription. Carved on the left, the word -BELIEVE- and on the right, the word -IMAGINE- brings home the message that if you can imagine and believe, Now Is The Time to seize and make the most of every moment. The back can also be engraved, allowing gift givers or watch wearers to further personalize the watch with an additional motivational message of their choosing.
The Now is the Time wristwatch is available for both men and women at $24.99. The 2.5 oz men's wristwatch features a genuine leather band that accommodates wrist sizes between eight and ten inches. The women's version which weighs in at 1.2 ounces features a smaller face, a thinner strap and is suited for women with wrist sizes between six and eight inches. The "Now Poem" and additional details on the Now is the Time wristwatch can be found at http://www.nowisthetimewristwatch.com or by sending an email to info @ nowisthetimewristwatch.com

OverviewPyramid Peak is the highest point in the western portion of the Gospel Hump Wilderness of the Nez Perce National Forest. This wilderness area covers approximately 206,000 acres and forms part of a 4.3 million acre wilderness block with the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness. It is the site of many subalpine glacial lakes, some of which support great trout fishing. The area is an easy day trip from Grangeville or provides excellent back country hiking and camping. The summit can be grouped with nearby Gospel Peak for an easy double climb.
The summit forms a well defined pyramid with steep slopes to the east, west and south. The north slope is a gentler, open subalpine glade. From the top four states are visible including the Wallowa Mountains in Oregon, Bitterroots of Montana and the Blue Mountains and prairies of southeast Washington. On a clear day one can see deep into the Payette Mountains to the south and the mountains of the St. Joe River basin to the north.
The peak is an easy walk up via the west ridge, but challenging climbs can be found for those wanting to spend some time elsewhere on the mountain.
Getting ThereFrom Highway 95, turn east into Grangeville and continue a long mile on main street (Highway 13) to the east edge of town. Town ends abruptly at the old Forest Service office on the northeast corner of the intersection of Highway 13 and the Mt. Idaho Grade road. The Forest Service office is a good place to have a break or obtain maps. From this intersection go south (right from downtown) on the Mt. Idaho Grade road. After 7/10th of a mile, keep to the right (straight) where the main road curves left at the drive-in theater. The road is now called the Grangeville-Salmon Road. After about two miles, the road starts a climb onto the mountains south of town and after crossing the National Forest boundary, becomes road 221 at Fish Creek Campground. Continue on the paved road to the well-marked 444 road and turn left onto the gravel. This turn is just before mile marker 30 and is approximately 31 miles south of Grangeville.
Go approximately 8 miles on road 444 to the Upper Gospel Lake pull-out. You can park here or continue up the road for approximately 1/8th mile where there is a pronounced curve to the right and room for 2 or 3 cars to park. From here hike northeast on gentle terrain through an open subalpine forest until the ridge is found. This will only be ¼ to 1/3 of a mile depending on how direct you walk. Once on the ridge, follow it east-northeast to Pyramid Peak. This is the quickest and most direct route to the summit.
A more challenging route is from East Gospel Lake. Here the cirque above the lake can be climbed approximately 1,000 feet to the summit. Class 3 rocks may be navigated by this route. Climbing east face from the Burnt Knob lakes gives approximately 1,800 feet of class 2 to class 4 rock. From Burnt Knob lakes there are also steep hikes to the summit via the northeast or southeast ridges.
Red TapeNone.
When To ClimbThe climbing season is during the summer and fall. Winter climbing is difficult because access routes are not seasonally maintained beyond Fish Creek campground. To get there in the winter will require well planned snowmobile and snowshoe excursions.
CampingGood primitive camping can be found at Gospel Lakes immediately west of the summit or the Burnt Knob Lakes to the east. Getting into some lakes of both these groups can be tricky and will take some planning. Set trails are uncommon and careful cross country hikes must be taken. People wanting an easier camping experience from which to drive to and day hike the peak can camp at numerous good dispersed camp sites along the 221 road within 5-10 miles of the 444 junction.
Developed campgrounds can be found at Fish Creek on the 221 road, which is about 23 miles north of the 444 road or Rocky Bluff also on the 221 road, two miles south of the 444 junction.
Mountain ConditionsThe Nez Perce National Forest office in Grangeville can provide information about the conditions of the high Gospels and the seasonal road access. Call (208) 983-1950.

By usual measures I have been very successful on several occasions and now I'm not. By my own measure I am more successful now than I have ever been, I am doing what I want to do and have (almost) all I need. I have not succeeded at everything I have done, not by a long chalk. When you start your med degree I will be starting my law degree.(Original post by Happydude)
I'd take your advice, but I have no idea how successful you have been in life so it may not really be that useful.
Not really shallow, all we have is what we see written here. I saw an initial post which shouted arrogance and responded to that. Whether it reflected the real you is another question. It was how you presented at that time, and in the middle of an interesting thread.Cheers anyway! (Perhaps it would be more apt to say that I have no idea who are and what you are like, rather than how successful. That just seems shallow )
For what? Anyway, I'm old enough to be your father, I'm a bloke, it's hard to avoid being patronising. I can be avuncular if you prefer.Also, incessantly patronising me doesn't stand you in good stead.
ps imagine how different this might have been if you had lead with the post you finally put some meat into rather than the 'post d'ennuie'. (sorry, that was patronising. And lousy Franglaise)

If I was in his position, I probably wouldn't want to die. That's because I'm a mathematician, and I don't think his condition would severely impair my ability to do maths. That said, I would want to have the right to die.
I think it is sad that some other severly disabled people are arguing against his right simply because they personally don't want to die. The same happened with the Debbie Purdy case.

I don't understand how people can argue against this by saying that people would suddenly be allowed to murder their slightly disabled relatives. This man can fully communicate and has expressed that he wants to die, if he and others can do that and go before the courts to put forward their case, I don't understand why somebody who has no comprehension of what his life is like can tell him that he has to stay alive and continue suffering. This is completely different to a person who cannot communicate dying because someone else thinks they don't have a good quality of life.

That's grim and I hope his wish is granted. I don't think the law necessarily has to be changed; our legal system has a certain amount of flexibility which should be employed in exceptional cases such as this.

text: Posted July 23, 2014 I was surprised that he didn't get a head coaching job. What I have always wondered was as a disciple of Jimmy Johnson will he do what he does best. Will he hang around and run a great defense forever or will he jump to be a head coach. There are some coaches that are better coordinators than head coaches. I hope he stays a long time with Rivera but I think another top 5 defense and he will be gone. Thoughts 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Polish Words and Phrases
Polish Video Tutorials
The Polish language is the mother tongue of the citizens of the Republic of Poland- a country in Eastern Europe. It is widely spoken in Poland, and in the countries of Belarus and Lithuania. Around 44 million people in those countries use it collectively as their first language. It is one of the official languages of the European Union.
The language was largely spoken in Poland until 966. Around that time, the ruler Mieszko I received baptism as a Christian. With the entry of Christianity, the people learned to write in Latin. Later, they were able to write in Polish. The first documents which contained Slavonic names included: Dagome iudex, which stated that Mieszko I aligned his state to the pope. The manuscript was penned in c. 990-992. It described the lands particularly the two biggest cities of Gniezno and Cracow.
Another document bearing the written Polish language was Pope Innocent IV's the "Gniezno papal bull" (Bulla gnieźnieńska) of 1136 which contained 410 names of Polish places and people. The third document was the 1155 Hadrian IV's bull containing 50 Polish names. The use of Polish and Latin in Poland resulted in the creation of the first Polish spelling rules established by Polish clergymen.
The Polish language is part of the West Slavic group together with Slovak and Czech. It is patterned after Latin alphabet, with the only difference is the diacritical marks on some letters. It is an inflected dialect with stress patterns falling on the second to the last or penultimate syllable. It has seven cases, three genders with one in its singular form and two in the plural form and two numbers.
When you learn Polish, you might notice the close resemblance to some English words. For instance, the Polish dym means smoke not dark. The word los in Polish means destiny even if it sounds like loss in English.
There are five major dialects in Polish which include: Kashubia, Mazovia, Malopolska, Silesia and Wielkopolska. In 1954, after World War II, the dialects further evolved as people moved to the northern and western part of the country.
Some Polish words are also derived from other languages such as English, German, Russian and French aside, of course, from Latin.
Addressing in Formal and Informal Manner in Polish
If you are speaking to a stranger, it is considered proper to speak in third person mentioning his title after the words Pan (Sir) and Pani (Madam). If you are close to the person, then you mention the person's name after Panor Pani.
A unique feature in Polish verb is the 'aspect'. It can be either perfective or imperfective manifesting ongoing action and a completed action. A number of prefixes can be used to make perfective verbs which have different meanings. Polish words sometimes use a number of consonants together. These consonants are combined to create a single sound.
Polish is quite difficult to learn. The spelling of words can become complicated because the words almost have similar sounds. The rules on grammar and punctuation are numerous but so do the exceptions. It also contains nasal vowels which are only found in Slavic languages.

Jersey boys: Sydney trio rewarded with coveted All-Australian selectionAndrew Wu
Published: September 17 2013 - 3:00AM
It's unlikely Kieren Jack will equal his father's international record but the Sydney midfielder can now pull out an All-Australian jumper to frame alongside Garry Jack's 20 Kangaroos jerseys.
Jack received one of the highest individual honours in the game on Monday night when he was named in the AFL's All-Australian team alongside Swans teammates Jarrad McVeigh and Dan Hannebery.
Greater Western Sydney young gun Jeremy Cameron was also named after kicking 62 goals in just his second season, which Giants coach Leon Cameron said was the ''biggest individual football achievement in our short history''.
All four have made the team of the year for the first time in their careers.
Josh Kennedy was considered unlucky not to collect a second consecutive guernsey, while Nick Malceski could also regard himself as unlucky to be overlooked for the role of rebounding defender.
Jack had dreamt as a child of emulating his father by representing his country in rugby league but said he was humbled to be recognised by the eight-man awards selection panel.
''It's a big honour, I grew up and wanted to be a Kangaroo as a young kid,'' Jack said. ''As a 15-year-old, I was doing what I loved and did what I enjoyed and that was playing AFL. I certainly wanted to play at the highest level, it was a dream of mine. To be a part of this club and most importantly, premiership success last year, is a dream come true.''
Jack's All-Australian selection continues the Sydney born and raised player's stunning rise.
He won the club's best and fairest award in 2010, became a premiership player last year and could become a premiership captain later this month if the Swans can defend their title. Not bad for a player who started his career on the Swans' rookie list. ''For me it was an opportunity, that's all it was,'' said Jack, whose younger brother Brandon was promoted from the rookie list this year.
''For kids that get drafted, I don't think it matters how you get to an AFL club, whether you're drafted, picked up on the rookie list or picked up as an international trade like Mike Pyke.
''You get the opportunity and it's up to you what you want to do with it. For me it was about working extremely hard and I had a lot of things that I wanted to work on. I certainly knew that and put my head down and worked my backside off.''
Hannebery's selection helps debunk suggestions All-Australian judges place greater importance on late-season form over performances earlier in the year.
The 22-year-old was red hot during the middle of the season but dropped off in the final few rounds of the home-and-away campaign.
''I had a couple of weeks in the back end of the year where I wasn't working hard enough and sometimes I was looking for the outside ball,'' Hannebery said.
''But, fundamentally, when I get to my strengths as a player, speaking to 'Horse' [John Longmire], is when I'm going after the footy and working hard both ways.''

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Thanks for the question Rod.
It wouldn't hurt to try changing the sending unit. That would be a cheap fix. The best way of course would be to check the oil pressure with a guage to get some true accurate readings hot. Most Chilton manuals will have oil pressure specs.
If the oil pressure drops considerably, more than likely the engine bearings are worn. As the engine warms up, everything expands and thus, clearances get bigger and pressure goes down.
Happy New Year

I'm very new to SQL and databases. I need a query for the following: (I'm sure google would have found the answer, but I could not really frame the sentence for the task I'm looking for. Also, please let me know how do I search in google for such tasks – so that I can try it myself in future).
Assume I have a table like:
Sl No Fruit Grown in states1 Apple KA2 Orange AP3 Banana TN4 Jackfruit MH5 Mango MP6 Jackfruit MP7 Banana AP8 Mango KA9 Banana TN10 Apple MH11 Jackfruit AP12 Orange MH13 Mango KA14 Apple TN15 Banana MP16 Banana MH17 Mango KA18 Orange MP19 Jackfruit AP20 Apple TN
From the above table, I want a SQL query which will list me the unique fruits and the states in which they are grown, like: (comma not necessary - i can add it using perl)
Apple: KA, MH, TNBanana: TN, AP, MP, MHJackfruit: MH,MP,APMango: MP, KAOrange: AP,MH,MP
Thanks in advance for the help,Ravi.
Try something like this
SELECT fruit
, GROUP_CONCAT(state) AS states
FROM yourtable
BY fruit
BY fruit;
Hi SirAdrian,
Thanks a lot for the reply. It works!!.

Guten Tag, LarmBrücke!

I wrote up these notes today based on Rayce's laser cutter demo, which I attended last night.

https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Lasercutter/Notes

 Some of the info may need correction or expansion, which is why I've placed it on the wiki. This text is too dense & should be broken up into smaller paragraphs, some of the info condensed or simplified, with more keywords in bold. (I am incorrigibly "wordy" - it's a problem I live with.) We plan to include a revised version of these notes in issue 2 of ZiP. Once it's more reader friendly we should also print a copy & post it above the Laser Cutter.....in large print, fireproof text.

Speaking of ZiP - the suggestion has been made that we include a blueprint of Noisebridge in each quarterly issue of the zine, following on from the first one, to record the evolution & transformation of the space. Sounds like a great idea to me!

Personally I'm hoping that after a recent sustained period of much change & upheaval & rearrangement things can quiet down & stay as they are for awhile, mostly. I *heart* the sewing/printing/laser cutting contiguity right now.

Is the kitchen ever coming back?

Yr friendly neighborhood

The Luminous Lodge is a home in Bowerstone Market in Fable II. It is directly west of the Central Clock Tower, located between Potion in Motion and Fiction Burns. It is a rather nice home, with few decorations and a lovely lower level, but like most houses in Bowerstone, the paint on the walls are peeling.This house is bought by players starting a family and want a nice,cheap and decent house.They may also buy it for Purity and a little Renown.
Stats Edit
Base Value: 4,320 gold
Address: 2 Market Square, Bowerstone
History: This was, for a short while, the home of Albert the Luminous, the man who would eventually find the Temple of Light. His stay in Bowerstone coincided with a very dark period of Albert's life, one which led him to the brink of despair. When he left on a pilgrimage, few thought that he would become the famous man that he did.

Adding Facts (Not Through Posts)
First of all I'd like to say I like the plugin, and thanks to the developers for creating it. I am however struggling with adding "Did You KNow?" facts into circulation without doing it through individual posts.
I analyzed the "mm-did-you-know.php" page and figured replacing the quotes at the bottom of the script with my own custom facts would work but I haven't had any luck. When I delete them all and add my custom facts manually the plugin disregards my entries and continues displaying the default facts, I'm not sure where it's refering to to get them though.
Can anyone sort me out? Thanks for your time!
