News flash for you, the 144,000 will build the third temple, they are the branch and the branch will build the temple. They will do it supernaturally, through the angels of the Lord.Quoting: bigD111
I think the "Branch" is the two witnesses..how do you get the 144,000 being the "Branch"?

THE THIRD TEMPLE BUILT AS A HOME FOR THE ANTI CHRIST BY THE ANTICHRISTQuoting: Anonymous Coward 770867
Where in scripture does it states that man is to build a third temple? God commanded the construction and reconstruction of the first temple. This third temple is to be built by apostate jewish people, for their long awaited messiah, the antichrist. How can they build a temple for Christ's return when they don't believe He will return? Christ have nothing to with this new temple they are trying to build. This new temple is to do away with the blood sacrifice of Jesus. To show that they don't believe in the blood sacrifice of God, they will reinstate the slaughter of animals for the atonement of sin. The bible makes it perfectly clear there is no other way to salvation except to the blood sacrifice of the Son of God. This includes jewish and Gentile! Just before Jesus gave up the ghost on the cross, He said it is finished, the price had been paid for the remission of sin. The sinner was purchased with the Holy Blood of Heaven, no higher price could have been paid, nothing is to be added to that. Jesus' blood, plus the blood of slaughtered animals? It's very foundation is built on sand. From it's conception, it's anti-Christ that's why it will be destroyed like the other two. The true temple is to be built by God and come down from heaven. JESUS IS TO BUILD THIS TEMPLE, NOT MAN!
Many bible believing Christians believe that the bible say we are to build this third temple in Jerusalem. But is this what the bible really says? The bible makes it perfectly clear that the temple of God on earth is the body of true believers. Each true believer is the temple of the Lord. Not some man made structure, not a building made by man's hands. The temples that were destroyed were a shadow of the true temple in heaven, which is to come down from heaven built by Christ' sinless hand. There will be nothing that defiles this temple. No sin is to ever enter this temple. Since the time of Jesus, the temple of God has been the body of the believer starting with the body of Christ. No longer do God indwells the physical buildings of sticks and stones. He indwells the body and hearts of the true believer. This temple is made of "living stones" that are built into a spiritual house." [1 Peter 2:5]. JESUS IS THE CONER STONE OF THIS TEMPLE.
"Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the jewish people, forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But He spake of the temple of His body. [John 2:19-21].
Here again the jewish people missed the whole point of Jesus' statement, they were talking about a building made by man's hands. A building subject to corruption. Jesus was talking about the true temple that was incorruptible, the temple of the body of Christ. The jewish people a had already proven that any physical temple they build, they would corrupt. But this temple they could not corrupt. The true believer is the temple of the Living God!
"What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? [1 Co 6:19].
The temple of God is not made up of dead matter like bricks cement and nails. It is made up of living stones. Wherever Jesus is, the temple is. The true temple is in heaven, this is what Jesus said of this temple:
"To him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go no more out: and I will right upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, which is the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him My new name." [Rev 3:12].
The physical temple that was standing when Jesus lived on earth was corrupt, Jesus condemned it as the synagogue of Satan.He prophesied that it would be destroyed, and He never said another should be built. In fact He pointed the people away from the temple made by man's hands to the heavenly temple made by God. If God had wanted a third temple to be built He would have said so. This third temple is not God's doing it's man's.
[link to youtu.be]
The spirit behind the building of this temple is anti-Christ. It is anti-Christ because Christ is unwelcome in this temple. The builders of this temple makes it abundantly clear that to them Jesus is not the Son of God, and not the messiah. Their messiah will be a man and not God in the flesh. To this man they build this temple, and he will take his seat on the throne of this temple, and declare himself to be God. Nowhere does Jesus even enter this temple. He's not welcome there! Why are so many Christians running to help build a temple where Jesus is not welcome? The temple will be built. But for whom is it built? It is built for the one who is welcome there and takes his seat upon his throne, the anti-Christ. It is called the temple of God because it is patterned after the heavenly temple, and will be built the spot of the original temple.
The main power behind the building of this temple is a man name Rabbi Chain Richman. He and his origination, The Temple Institute [Machon HaMikdash, in Hebrew], is an organization who's soul purpose is to build this temple and reinstate the ritual of blood sacrifice. The Temple Institute is preparing objects for ritual worship in the temple. The Temple Institute have already produced over ninety items to be used in the temple. One of these items is the "Mizrak" which holds the blood from sacrificed animals. There is agreement among Judaism that the temple will be built, their disagreement is to whether or not it is to be built by human hand. They know that the finial temple is to be built by God, not man. So the one that is successful in building this temple will be recognize as the messiah. They know the scriptures but they have twisted it so much they don't realize the one that build this must sit in it as their god. Just as they had twisted the scripture so much that they didn't recognized Christ when he came the first time. They will not recognize the anti-Christ when he come, they will see him as their messiah.

i loved it!! please post again
Until that memory is recalled, you will stay an owl. I would advise you to enjoy it while you can. The feeling of the wind beneath your wings is one of the greatest I have ever experienced. So dont be daunted! I am sure Mr. Potter here will remember in no time!
LOL that is the best line ever. I was cracking up at that part. Lily would probably be like "Oh goody."
This is good. Keep up the work. Or w.e.
can you please update this soon i cant wait!
Author's Response: I promise I'll give it my best efforts!
Author's Response: I dearly hope that´s a positive okay, and not the "This is totally bizarre" okay. Thanks for taking the time to review anyways!
Oh goodie. Get James Potter to remember something. Is Lily ever going to transform back? :)
Great fic - please update soon!!!!
Author's Response: Of course... if James remembers. Let's just hope his memory's working properly.
oh my gosh! he turned her into an OWL???!!!!!!!
Author's Response: Indeed he did. Surprised me, too.
SHE SHOULD SAY YES AND GET ON WITH LIFE! make it quick, too.
Author's Response: Believe me, all I want is for them to get together. =)
Author's Response: She'll find her way back, I promise! (And so will chapter seven, hopefully soon.)
tee hee, funny ending. poor lily though. very original too...i haven't ever heard of something like this happening. great chapter, and i can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Funny? Original? Wow, thanks. That's a great compliment, considering there are hundreds of Lily/James fics out there.
lmao, wow, that has got to be one of the funniest fan-fics i have ever read! update soon!
Author's Response: I never intended for it to be a comedy, but thanks! That's definitely a great compliment.
This should be very interesting...
Author's Response: Yes, it should! :)
do update fast...i can't wait for the next chapter
Author's Response: Thanks, I'll try!
cant wait for more
Author's Response: Thanks! Me neither. :)
I have been loking for this story for months and now I found it yah!
Author's Response: Seriously? Thanks!
Oh my gosh. Haha. Leave it to James. Nice chapter. I like the little twist thingy you have. Lily is now...an owl? Can't wait to see what happens!
Author's Response: Thanks! My first, and, so far, only reviewer! Yeah, Lily really wanted to be an owl for some reason. But staying an owl? I don't think it's what she had in mind. So yeah, I'm leaving it to James now.
poor sophie! Oh god, please don't say she gets with Snape!
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! As to your question... please don't consider me rude if I don't answer it. :)
i can't read this its to over to the side
Author's Response: I don't really know what you mean. I checked the chapter you reviewed, and it seemed fine. I hope you have no further trouble reading it!
Sophie Snow is quite mysterious, I wonder what's going to happen. Love the story, by the way.
Author's Response: I like the word mistery, adds a nice effect. Thank you!

Lavenders are going quick. We are taking orders for spring chicks. We started hatching in late February and will continue through August.
Reserve yours today!
We are now accepting credit/debit cards
We are a small family operated chicken hatchery and egg farm located in Salem, Indiana. Our daughters are able to help with collecting eggs and feeding the chicks as well as putting the eggs and labels into egg cartons. We also raise and show purebred Nubian dairy goats. We kid in late March and early April. These goats are great for milk and to keep as family pets. We sell the kids every year so please check out the Nubian page for available goats.
Our location allows us to reach southern Indiana and northern Kentucky customers for chicks but we ship hatching eggs nation-wide. We started out with only 14 chicks but now our flock has grown to include over 8 different breeds of chickens and by Spring 2016 we will have grown close to 350 hens!! WOW!
We raise purebred Rhode Island Reds, Barred Rocks, Buff Orpingtons, Blue Laced Red Wyandottes, Welsummers, Lavender Orpingtons, Silkies and have Frizzles of the Buff Orpingtons along with Black Sex Links. We make our own quality feed for our flock so we can control the ingredients and remove the additives that many commercial feeds contain.

Paddle Healthy: Electrolytes and Hydration
In the last Paddle Healthy article, we looked at the challenges of staying hydrated during exercise, the basics of the five main electrolytes, and the limitations of water and traditional sports drinks. Now, we're switching gears and focusing on how much you should drink and when, and which electrolyte-rich drinks, goos, and capsules some of the top male and female SUP athletes recommend.
How much should you drink?
Old school nutrition theory dictates that everyone should consume 64 ounces of water per day—that's a total of eight eight-ounce glasses between breakfast and bedtime. But, as we explored in last week's post, water alone is not enough when it comes to hydration, and drinking too much water may actually do more harm than good. Plus, does a 220-pound male paddler like Chuck Patterson really require no more liquid than a female paddler who weighs little more than half as much, or a junior athlete? No, that doesn't make sense.
So, if the old theories are flawed, then what's a paddler to do? Well, the first thing couldn't be simpler: just listen to your body. Our sense of thirst is highly sophisticated, and, the old theory that, "if you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated," is just plain wrong, according to the latest research. So when you feel you need a drink during an on- or off-water session, take it!
If you want to go a little further with how much to drink, the kind folks over at Osmo Nutrition have come up with a handy formula that tells you how many ounces of an electrolyte-rich drink you should consume per hour, based on your body weight and activity level. For lower intensity workouts, multiply your weight in pounds by 0.154, and for more intense training sessions or races, use 0.185 as the multiplier. So, at 185 pounds, I'd need 28.49 ounces of fluid per hour for a lower intensity paddle/workout, and 34.225 ounces for a harder session (and no, we don't expect you to measure those decimals when filling your water bottle or CamelBak pack!).
What The Pros Use To Stay Hydrated
Now that we've looked at how much you should drink per hour during exercise, let's take a look inside the hydration routines of some top paddlers:
"I usually use the Hammer Endurolytes capsules leading up to the race," says Jeremy Riggs of Maui. "I start them one day before competition and then increase to maybe two every hour, about three hours prior to the start, if it's an afternoon race. The capsules keep me from getting bloated, as the water mixed with electrolytes can do. I use Hammer Gel during the channel races."
Allison Riddle of Southern California achieves optimum performance with the use of HDX, after failed attempts to replenish electrolytes with other sports drinks. "One thing to be wary of is sugary sports drinks. I used to end up with acid reflux from having too much Gatorade on big training days or after races," Riddle says. "About two years ago, I started drinking HDX. I didn't get acid reflux from it; it tasted really good and [I had] no more headaches from not being properly hydrated. HDX Hydration Mix is a balanced blend of electrolytes, vitamins, amino acids, and minerals working together for healthy hydration."
Marathon paddler Shane Perrin looks for electrolyte replenishment that lasts throughout his endurance SUP missions: "For electrolytes, I use CamelBak's Elixir tabs. They're little wafer-like things in a tube. Just pop one in a bottle, wait a few minutes until it dissolves, and drink it," Perrin says. "This gives you a bubbly drink of electrolytes. I balance that with Spiz meal replacement drinks while on one of my endurance paddle missions."
Nicole Madosik prefers EFS First Endurance sports drinks, which combine all five electrolytes. "Another option to check out is Infinit Nutrition, which creates custom sport drink blends for you based on your individual goals and preferences," says Madosik. "For most people, it's about taste. Some like sweet, some like salty, and some like watery. Whatever your preference, I would suggest you find one that you enjoy to drink but that contains all electrolytes."
While the hydration products mentioned above are what some of the pros use to help achieve optimum performance and avoid the effects of dehydration, we suggest you try out various products and hydration routines to decide what works best for your body and performance. —Phil White

Uten combine with Kafka?, now...Kandata String can be invisible talking about Bondage now...hahahaha
And since Hatfield body is destroyed by Predator Cross move pulled by combination of Seth and Solva power, I doubt we'll see his clone like this two (unless Saten already collect his blood before his death)

I'm pretty sure Hatfield will be back in a not so distant future, if we wish to see his outstanding combo with Strom some day.
Is true he got destroyed, but not completely, look:
A hand.
I find the latest plot twist amazing btw, how Imai did as if he pulled it out of the blue, and yet, there were already numerous hints about the coming back of the deceased members of Simeon, and not in the later chapters, but in the earliers, which is twice awesome. It's really admirable, writing at its best.
I guess now I understand why Arclight didn't give a shit when he was told that Kafka & Uten got defeated.

It will be a ridiculous development, if somehow the two meet, and Cain fall for him (may be Cain saw Yamada Killer Girls ID card) and fight Blade for him

My theory about Cruz's role in Needless 2: He's retired to a tropical island somewhere, along with Disk and the PGS. A well-earned reward for saving the day, which he's bound to do at some point during the current arc.
And speaking of Disk: She's just awesome in every respect.

I can think of some limitations for Voice. One limitation seems to be that it is targeted. Every instance that it's used, it has always been a command and it only affects one person. There have always been others around that seem to not be affected by it when it is used. And the duration of the effect isn't specified either. You probably also have to have a clear and complete communication, such as Cain cannot be interrupted and the victim must hear the whole thing (an explosion in the middle of the command might nullify the fragment if that's the case).
Another limitation is that only one command may be present at a time. As soon as another Voice is used, the old one is overridden, meaning you can't just stack command after command on a person. Unless you have an Eden Seed maybe... Maybe the limitation is Cain is as non-aggressive as Cruz is? That and ANn can't remember names, so she might make mistakes when she tries to use it.
It's hard to know for sure what the limitations for Voice are but there are limitations on everyone in Needless. And that includes Cruz's intelligence. When he was planning Kurumi's death, he never realized that Eve would still be under Simeon's control, an opportunity Setsuna (or whoever organized that long fight in the Third Shelter) took full advantage of. And his plans during the battle/evacuation of Black Market were foiled by Hatfield and nearly cost everyone their lives.
I imagine Voice being a weaker version of Black Attraction and a stronger version of Fragrance. Some slight differences but pretty much something along those lines.

Of course, anything combined with speed should work besides fragments like Magnetism, Gravity, Ice, etc. Mix Speed with Power, Doppleganger, or any other physical fragment and you have an unstoppable attack. Probably why that and Flame are Blade's most used fragments in the series.

Been dead for a week... so time for a new topic.
What type of manga do you consider Needless? Maybe not quite as simple as what genre it is but something along those lines, just more personal for you. Do you see it as a comedy or gag manga? What about as an action, fighting, or adventure manga? A Sci-Fi one? Or maybe just an ecchi or loli one? Or maybe even religious or something else? What is Needless to you?
For me, it's a comedy manga. That's the main reason why I got hooked on Needless and why I look forward to every month. Of course, the story and characters are major reasons why, too, but the comedy and jokes are what I look forward to the most. It is my favorite aspect of Needless, so I always see it as a comedy manga in my mind. I guess after that, I'd probably go with the action/fighting as a secondary genre. I don't really consider it any of the other categories but I'm interested to see what others say (and left those out as ideas).

|Lady Cats, Texas High in showdown for second place
|From Staff Reports
Oct. 11, 2004 - PARIS - The Sulphur Springs Lady Cats put themselves in a position to be alone in second place in the district by beating Paris in four games on Friday, 18-25, 25-23, 25-16, 25-22.
Sulphur Springs is currently tied with Texas High with 4-2 district records. They both trail North Lamar (6-0), and are two games ahead of Greenville and Mount Pleasant (both at 2-4).
The Lady Cats travel to Texas High Tuesday for a showdown with the JV and freshmen games starting at 5 p.m. Whoever wins will have advantage in the playoff race with just three games remaining. In fact, if Sulphur Springs (13-11 overall) can beat Texas High (11-11) on Tuesday and Mount Pleasant on Friday, they will secure a playoff berth.
But, head coach John McCullough said first things first.
"I think the girls are focused and ready to play," he said. "They've been talking about Texas High since Friday night. They've watched film over the weekend and took notes.
"The main goal right now is to beat Texas High Tuesday night and get second place by ourself."
On Friday, the Lady Cats took care of a Paris squad that is struggling at 0-6, 4-20.
Paris did, though, win the first game of the best-of-five match.
"I was proud of the girls the way they came back and refocused after the first game," McCullough said. "We kind of lost our focus a little bit. The official was calling pretty tight and got us for some illegal sets early in the game, and we weren't really sharp."
A lot of girls contributed with nine different players recording kills. Junior Tara Gibby led the team with 11, while senior Jennifer Moreland had five. Five other Lady Cats had three kills apiece.
Sophomore Kayla Morgan had a team-high six blocks, while Gibby led the team in scoring with 12 service points and two aces, and Marlee Peugh had 11 points with three aces.
Senior Christina Patchen recorded a team-high 25 digs, and senior Casey Carper had 24.
"Overall, we played pretty well. I am a little concerned we started so slowly," McCullough said. "Obviously we can't do that this week because we're playing Texas High. If we start off slowly against them, with their athleticism, they'll run off from us. Hopefully, we'll get off to a good start."

Publishers and filmmakers have paid millions for the story of Private Jessica Lynch's capture and rescue in Iraq. But Americans are falling out of love with their desert heroine. By Julian Coman in Washington.
Millions of Americans sat down last weekend to watch one of the television blockbusters of the year. Saving Jessica Lynch, produced by NBC, opened with a vision of US army headlights crawling warily through the Iraqi desert haze on March 23.
The next two hours, according to network executives, offered the definitive account of what really happened to Private Lynch after the 507th Ordnance Maintenance convoy was famously ambushed.
Few viewers will have taken that promise seriously. After yet another week of conflicting accounts, confused memories and unpleasant revelations, the truth of what happened to Lynch is still as murky as the green-tinged video footage of her rescue from a hospital in Nasiriyah on April 1.
In the corridors of the Bush administration, senior officials frankly admit that they would prefer the Jessica Lynch story simply went away.
"The Private Lynch story is becoming
a monster," said one administration
At the time of her rescue, the US thought it had found a modern heroine in the plucky 19-year-old supply clerk, saved from the clutches of Iraqi militants by special forces. Employing all its public relations know-how, the Pentagon decided to release the footage it had made at the time of the rescue. It was a decision that appears to have spectacularly backfired.
At the time, the video of Private Lynch�s rescue was a dazzling propaganda coup. But six months later, the lead protagonist has become a prime-time whistleblower, and the facts of what actually happened in Nasiriyah are still hazy. America, finally, is falling out of love with the Jessica Lynch myth.
Millions of dollars have been spent by publishers and filmmakers for the right to tell the story of Private Lynch. But new versions of the events of last spring are being discredited as soon as they are aired.
The Pentagon may have hyped the story of Private Lynch for its own propaganda purposes: now, with a $US1 million ($A1.4 million) deal for co-operation with an authorised biography, the Lynch family is selling a different story, to the increasing discomfort of much of the American public.
In I am a Soldier Too: The Jessica Lynch Story by Rick Bragg, a Pulitzer prize-winning author, which was released last week, it is claimed that medical records indicate Lynch was raped in Nasiriyah. It is unclear whether the records are American or Iraqi.
In Nasiriyah, doctors have angrily denied the existence of such records. Dr Mahdi Khafazji, an orthopaedic surgeon there, said last Friday that he extensively examined Lynch and found no signs of sexual assault.
Lynch says she has no recollection of being raped, but may have repressed the memory. It is also still unclear whether Lynch was ever hit by her captors, as the Pentagon claimed.
Unsurprisingly, the contradictory accounts have begun to alienate the followers who formerly treated Lynch as a cult hero. In May, a trawl of the internet revealed a dazzling array of Private Lynch "offers", ranging from oil paintings to fridge magnets. Sales, however, have now plummeted as scepticism over her story has taken over.
With confusion over what actually happened in Nasiriyah continuing, the "good news story" is steadily becoming a public relations disaster for the Pentagon. Unpleasant arguments about rape and sodomy are bad enough. But for the officials who lionised her courage under attack, painting dramatic pictures of a lone last stand in the desert, Lynch has become an embarrassment.
In an interview this week, Lynch sharply criticised the Pentagon�s decision to show the video of her rescue from the Nasiriyah hospital. The feel-good factor of her safe return, and triumphant homecoming to Palestine, West Virginia, appears to have all but disappeared.
"They used me as a way to symbolise all this stuff," Lynch told an ABC television interviewer. "It�s wrong."
In the same interview she also poured scorn on initial accounts of her bravery under fire. According to early reports given to journalists, Lynch had stab and bullet wounds and had used up all her own ammunition fighting back. Her response last week was withering: "I�m not about to take credit for something I didn�t do," she said. "I did not shoot, not a round, nothing. I went down praying to my knees. And that�s the last I remember."
In June, the Washington Post did the first detailed debunking of the romanticised version of Lynch�s capture and rescue. The paper reported how Lynch�s unit became detached from a convoy after it wasn�t told of a change in plans. In the ambush that followed, Lynch was injured as her Humvee crashed.
The paper also found that while the rescue was justified in terms of the confusion confronting US forces, the exercise was ultimately unnecessary. Iraqi soldiers had left the hospital and the remaining doctors and nurses were eager to hand Lynch to the Americans.
Now, in the corridors of power, unhappy spin doctors are braced for yet more uncomfortable headlines as Lynch promotes her book with the country�s leading chat-show hosts David Letterman and Larry King.
Walking with the help of crutches, "America�s favourite GI" this week made her first public appearance since returning home. At a New York awards ceremony, Lynch was named one of Glamour magazine�s Women of the Year, and was reunited with the black woman soldier who was also captured, Shoshana Johnson.
No one has followed Johnson�s fortunes closely. Her parents have complained of the $US800-a-month disparity in disability benefits paid to their daughter and Lynch.
Still, Lynch�s moment in the New York spotlight was marred by an announcement by porn publisher Larry Flynt that he had topless photos of her. He bought the pictures, he claimed, to keep them out of circulation. "Jessica Lynch is being used as a pawn by the media and by the Government to create a hero who can sell this war to the American people," Flynt said.
It seems that in Palestine, where a welcome banner once greeted Private Lynch with the words "Thank you God for Bringing Jessy home", "Jessica fatigue" has set in.
In May, just after her rescue, the $US1 million contract for her book inspired some local jealousy. Her behaviour since coming home has raised even more eyebrows.
Just over a week ago, Mohammed al-Rehaief, the Iraqi doctor who risked his life to tell US soldiers where they could find Lynch, visited the home town of the woman he saved.
She claimed she was too busy to see him. "A lot of people thought that was disrespectful," said one Palestine local. "She should have found the time. Some people think this whole experience might have changed her."
Rumours have circulated in her home town of an unsavoury dispute between Lynch and her saviour over competing media projects. Al- Rehaief, with some speed, had succeeded in producing the first Private Lynch book, Because Each Life is Precious, which was published in October, and for which he received a $US300,000 advance.
The Lynch family lawyer, Stephen Goodwin, denied that the Iraqi doctor had been snubbed as an act of petty revenge, but the Private Lynch myth had suffered another blow. The failed visit ended on a somewhat farcical note when local townspeople offered the al-Rehaiefs a meal � of ham sandwiches and burgers. Not only are they Muslims, who don�t eat ham, they were fasting for Ramadan.
According to friends, al-Rehaief left Palestine to return to his new home in Washington a bitterly disappointed man. Increasingly, he is not alone. For a heady period last spring, Americans believed that they had witnessed a truly inspiring episode in the history of their armed forces.
A "very harrowing, very intense gun battle" had been followed by the capture of a brave, pretty West Virginian private, who fought until she could fight no more. Mistreated and tortured, she was saved following another fierce battle and the intervention of a courageous Iraqi doctor.
As that simple and compelling narrative has unravelled, Lynch has fallen out with the US military, her neighbours have fallen out with her, and public faith in the Pentagon�s honesty has been undermined. As viewers settled back to watch Saving Jessica Lynch, few would have had any idea what to believe.

On Sunday, I was not attentive to my schedule and had it sprung on me that it was my turn to give the communion meditation at our church. So, I quickly turned to Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Life Together, which we are reading in our Sunday School class, and stumbled again upon the following brilliant passage. I share it again here, because all the facets that Bonhoeffer locates in the Eucharist here are central to what John and I are calling Slow Church: gratitude, the centrality of Jesus (I'll have more to say on this point later this week), the unifying power of eating together, the joy and … [Read more...]
Bonhoeffer on The Fellowship of the Table
Becoming Good Soil
For the last few weeks in our Sunday night conversation here at Englewood Christian Church, we have been exploring the imagery of sustainable agriculture to describe life together in the local church community. This stream of our conversation began with the idea that churches work better as diverse poly-cultures (diverse types of people, doing diverse sorts of work), rather than mono-cultures (focusing on a narrow demographic of people –age-wise, ethnically or otherwise, or doing a single kind of work). Last night's conversation began with a familiar quote from Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Life Toge … [Read more...]

Tips for a successful event (courtesy of The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia):
- Choose a good planning committee. Enlist enthusiastic people whose dedication and skills will make your event a success. Involve enough volunteers to share the workload.

- Choose the right event. Decide on just the right event/promotion/fundraiser that best utilizes the unique pool of talent, skill and interests of your particular group.
- Identify your target audience. Who do you want to participate in this event? Does it include public participation or is it geared to members of a specific organization?
- Schedule your event. Pick a date and time for your event carefully to encourage maximum participation. Unless your event is holiday-related, steer away from major holidays to ensure best response.

- Plan your budget. By identifying and planning for expenses and income sources in advance, you will maximize donations by keeping costs down.
- Promote and publicize your event. Publicize early! Get the word out every way you can. TV, radio, newspaper and magazines often provide free public service time and advertising space. But don't forget flyers, posters, community bulletin boards, e-mails and good old word-of-mouth.
- Thank you, thank you, thank you! Recognize and acknowledge everyone who participates! Let them know how much they raised and heap on the praise. This can lead to the event becoming an annual undertaking, which generates donations for years to come.
- Have fun and take lots of pictures and send them to us to post on our website!

View Cruises that visit this port
Below is a list of those shore excursions previously offered in this port. For information on which shore excursions will be offered on a particular cruise, please reference the specific itinerary of that cruise.
Travel outside of Tangier to the picturesque town of Asilah, considered a center for culture and art.
Boarding your coach at the pier, it's a scenic forty-five minute drive along the western shores of the Atlantic Ocean to reach Asilah. This now peaceful town has been occupied over the centuries by the Romans, Spanish, Portuguese and the Phoenicians. It was the Portuguese who built the town's bastions, towers and imposing ramparts, which today are the setting for delightful seaside walks and restaurants renowned for their seafood dishes. Inside the ramparts, you'll find the old Medina shelters, small art workshops and cultural galleries that present the works of artists from Asilah and the surrounding region. Asilah hosts numerous festivals, but the one held every August practically turns the entire town into an art gallery. It is then that artists come from all over to exhibit their work in the setting of the old palace and in the streets. Some even paint directly on the walls of the town.
Upon arrival, you'll stop at the Portuguese main gate, "Bab el Bahr" which features an escutcheon of the King of Portugal Arms. From here, you'll do some sightseeing in the old Medina, passing by the Raissouli Palace for an outside visit. During the annual summer festival, the Palace transforms into a Culture Palace. Your guided tour of the city continues as you admire the colorful designs on the walls and wander through the small souks of Asilah and its art district. Afterwards, you will have free time for shopping in this gem of a city, made famous by its shops which sell the works of local artists.
Prior to rejoining your coach for the return trip to the cruise ship pier in Tangier, you'll be treated to a refreshment break at one of the local restaurants.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 2-hours of moderate walking, plus any additional walking at the guests' discretion during free time. The tour is available to wheelchair guests who have a collapsible wheelchair, are able to make their own way on and off the coach and have an able-bodied companion to assist them. Weather appropriate, comfortable clothing; sun cap; sunglasses; and flat, comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

Congressman Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael) voted on two key appropriations bills this week: he voted yes on the Military Construction/Veterans Affairs appropriations bill on Wednesday, June 5, and voted no on the Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill on Thursday, June 6.
"Although not a perfect bill, I voted "yes" for the VA appropriations bill because it addresses critical needs by expanding support for veterans and ensuring that the VA addresses its massive backlog," Congressman Huffman said. "However, I could not support the misguided and cruel Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill, which doubles down on the militarization of our border at the expense of other priorities and treats DREAMers--children brought into the United States by their parents years ago, through no fault of their own--the same as violent criminals."
Passed 421-4. Huffman voted for the bill.
Huffman championed a number of provisions that were included in the final bill, including:
Full funding of $20 million for the Veterans Affairs suicide prevention and outreach programs. Huffman wrote a letter of support on April 17, 2013.
A provision requiring the Veterans Benefits Administration to report to the Committee on the progress made to eliminate the backlog at each regional office. Huffman wrote a letter of support on April 22, 2013
The bill demonstrates a clear concern for military sexual trauma (MST), with additional emphasis on access to MST services in rural areas (Congress strongly encouraged the VA to have at least one person trained to handle MST cases in every health provider location.
Bill strongly encouraged the VA to better ensure that rural veterans have access to care facilities with reduced travel times.
Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill
Passed 245-182. Huffman voted against the bill.
Among the many harmful provisions included in the bill, Huffman opposed:
The King Amendment, which would result in encouraging ICE to crack down on DREAMers and other non-criminal, undocumented immigrants--essentially treating them the same as violent criminals.
Militarizes border at enormous expense, including expansion of the drone program.
Provision of the bill that makes it more difficult to close Guantanamo Bay Detention Center by limiting the use of funds to transfer detainees and otherwise restrict detainee transfers.
Funds the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) $195.5 million below President Obama's budget request
Funds the flawed 287(g) program which delegates federal immigration law enforcement authority to state and local officers. This program has been found to have been the cause of many cases of racial profiling and improper on-the-ground implantation of our immigration policies.

BLOG: Lil' Wayne Must Need To Pay His Weed Carriers Better
"The Cash Money star's assistant, Terry Bourgeois, explained to the judge that marijuana is 'something we always have' on Lil Wayne's tour bus. He went on to reveal the rapper only smokes 'dro' and then explained what the name is short for, ie 'hydroponically grown' pot. Weezy, all the while, sat with his head in his hands as his assistant dished the news, TMZ reports." –XXLMag.com via TMZ
I've only paid attention to the last couple seasons of Entourage, but dare I ask–would Turtle, E or Drama roll on Vincent Chase like that if he got pinched?
Me thinks that's why you shouldn't be fuckin with a nigga named "Bourgeois" any got damn way. As far as I understand, Wayne is on trial for illegal firearms. This assistant pimp is on the stand reading a "Choose Your Own Conviction" book–adding charges and shit.
Court Officer: Please state your full name.
Terry Bourgeois: Terry Bourgeois, sir. But everyone calls me "Bourgie nigga."
CO: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
TB: I do. I'll give you more than that because this ain't even about just the guns. He be doin drugs on that bus and everything.
Judge: That's enough, Mr. Bourgeois. Counsel, please approach.
Prosecutor: Mr. Bourgeois, Do you remember–
TB: I remember eeeeeverything. This nigga Wayne be havin weed all the time… and he don't smoke no regular weed. He smoke that shit that's close to heroin as possible. That's how he ask for it. He say "go get me the closest shit to heroin as possible."
Judge: Mr. Bourgeois, mind your language in my courtroom.
TB: I'm sorry, Your Honor. Sometimes I get a little carried away. That's why Mr. Carter hired me. My enthusiasm, you know? But like I was sayin, Mr. Carter do just like how in the song say.
Lil Wayne: *head in hands* *mumbling* Awww, God.
Prosecutor: Which song are we talking about, Mr. Bourgeois?
TB: All of them, really. But I was talkin' bout that Duffel Bag one in the beginning where he say "weed and syrup 'til I die. Matter fact it's gon' kill me, 'cuz you ain't, bitch."
Defense: Objection! Relevance?
Pros: The lyrics mentioned accentuate Mr. Carter's lifestyle and propensity for drug use. They're also aggressive and threatening in nature. It's like he's challenging us to stop him.
Def: Your Honor, they're just adlibs! He's liable to say anything on his adlibs when he's gone off that syr–… Umm…
LW: *head in hands* *mumbling* I want my daddayyyyyy.
I am in no way condoning perjury or suggesting that people purjure themselves for shithead rappers. I'm just asking if any of that testimony is necessary? I don't think the tree and type of dro are the matter at hand. Meanwhile, the defense is trying to get the case tossed on the grounds of unlawful search. Police always say they smell weed on a nigga. As soon as they confirm chocolate man status, they got their excuse ready.
This is what a properly-compensated weed carrier says:
"I was not present for any marijuana use if there was any. I don't recall smelling any either."
"Well, I usually get him a $9,600 dollar bag of Maui Wowie from Mr. Nice Guy when we're in New York. He asks me to manicure the bag for seeds and stems and once threatened to pistol whip me with one of his many illegal firearms when a seed popped out of his blunt and burned an underaged Nivea on her exposed vagina."
Accomplished and aspiring Myspace rapper negroes, please listen closely.
Loyalty like that shown above comes at a price clearly below market rate. If you're riding dirty, the day you get popped will come. I only know because I get popped riding clean regularly and I'm just a regular-ass nigga. On your great day of rapster judgment, the way you've treated your handlers and ancillary negroes will either set you free or have you in a courtroom crying for Birdman with your dreads in your lap.
If you break them off with nice tips and shit around holiday time and let them get seconds on your groupies and what not, your carriers reward you in your time of need. If you have your man cop a ribeye steak for you and a #4 at White Castle for himself, you're setting yourself up for a scenario like the one detailed above. Don't be surprised when he lifts $7 million worth of jewelry from your bathroom sink or worse.
I'm not saying niggas shouldn't be happy with whatever they get. I'm just sayin you already know how niggas be.
I can't help but think about Weezy berating his entire team on stage during a performance shortly after the poppage. When he put douchebag bullets into the back of their heads execution style for all of the hood to see, he kinda sealed his own fate.
Let's hope nobody wants to lick the rapper when Wang gets to the bing.
Questions? Comments? Requests? Need some suggestions for Doja Day? email@example.com
Be kind to your dojas and weedcarriers. You may need them to NOT roll on you in court one day.

10 Years Ago This Weekend: Kansas State 35, Oklahoma 7
Kansas State, coming off an 11-win 2002 season, was struggling and stumbling with a 4-3 record, which included an 0-2 Big 12 record.
Looking back, coach Bill Snyder said, "We never lacked confidence. We knew we could achieve more than whatever we achieved at that particular time. It was just a matter of doing things better. We knew we could be good if we did things right."
But who would have ever thought that less than two months later the Wildcats would run through the rest of the Big 12 season at 6-0, be ranked No. 13 in the nation, and be the Big 12 North champions.
Not only did K-State win those six games, but all came by at least 10 points, and the roll included wins by 29 over Colorado, 36 over Kansas, 28 over Baylor, 45 over Iowa State, 29 over Nebraska and 10 over Missouri.
Those dominating victories set up the night of Dec. 6 in Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium when the Cats would defeat the No. 1 ranked Oklahoma Sooners, 35-7, for the Big 12 championship.
Of that night 10 years ago Snyder said, "I think it becomes the most important win in school history as we have never won a conference championship before. Because of that, this win is maybe the most significant."
Former wide receiver coach Michael Smith said, "Coach doesn't wear his emotions on his sleeve or act crazy, but he was happy. He expected to win. To him, it was supposed to happen."
Overcoming a series of early-season injuries, the offensive trifecta of quarterback Ell Roberson, running back Darren Sproles and receiver James Terry combined for a historic 5,763-yard season - Sproles rushed for 1,986 yards, Roberson passed for 2,545 and Terry caught passes for 1,232 yards.
That 5,763 yard total was nearly 1,000 yards more than Eric Hickson rushed for (902), Michael Bishop passed for (2,844), and Darnell McDonald caught passes for (1,092) during the historic 1998 campaign.
On this particular night in Kansas City before 79,451 fans, Sproles rushed for 235 yards, plus caught passes for 88 additional yards and a touchdown; Roberson passed for 227 and four touchdowns; and, Terry caught 63 yards worth of passes with a touchdown.
It was a game where the No. 1 Sooners scored in the first 2:49 of the game. To Snyder the ease of that OU score might have been the turning point.
"I think it made our kids toughen up," said Snyder. "We knew their guys would be coming at the ball hard, so we had a collection of miss-direction plays and screens that we thought would work, and they all did."
The 'Cats rolled up 519 yards in total offense and scored the final 35 points of the game. Defensively, Josh Buhl scored 10 tackles, Rashad Washington added eight, and Ted Sims seven, plus had a 27-yard interception return for a score.
Losing coach Bob Stoops said of the night, "Kansas State just came out and out-played us and out-coached us. Our hats are off to them. They really took it to us in every phase of the game."
Kansas State 35, Oklahoma 7.
"I can't describe it," said Roberson.
Even Snyder said, "There comes a certain degree of satisfaction of playing that game for the title, and playing it as well as you can play it. I valued that win because of what it meant to the many K-Staters out there who had cared so much over the years."

Ashlee Simpson Eludes Trick Baby Question
Thrown into the spotlight for her personal life just prior to the release of her new album Bittersweet World, Ashlee Simpson's approach to stir up interest for her latest studio work seems to be working like a charm.
The Pieces Of Me has the public talking about her recent engagement announcement with Fall Out Boy beau Pete Wentz - and there's a lot of baby talk going on right now, too.
During a call to Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show earlier this morning, the 23-year old singer had a laugh when the American Idol host brought up her big diamond from Wentz, 28.
"It is [huge]!" Simpson said from her New York City hotel room, "I stare at it. I'm like, 'Oh, my god, I can't believe this is on [my] hand!'"
Keeping hush about how Pete popped the question, Ashlee said: "I'm keeping that part sacred. But I will tell you it was very thoughtful and he did a great job."
And there was still no luck finding any answers in the baby department, as Ryan asked Ashlee whether she was planning on drinking alcohol at a function on Thursday night, with Simpson playfully replying, "Who knows. Maybe."

Enjoy the pictures from Ashlee promoting her new album at MTV's TRL (April 15).

I don't know which one will give me the most for my money.
I was thinking of the S2 or S5

[1]Hurricane Sandy did more than knock out power and down trees across the Middle Atlantic states last month. It appears to have taken a bite out of U.S. retail sales for October[2].
The Commerce Department said Wednesday that retail sales fell 0.3% last month. That marked the first monthly decline in three months, the Los Angeles Times noted.
Economists had forecast a 0.2% fall in retail sales largely due to disruptions across the Northeast resulting from the storm, which slammed New York, New Jersey and Connecticut in the final week of the month.
The larger-than-anticipated drop hinted that consumers might have been pulling back on spending prior to Sandy's arrival, economists said. The Commerce Department said it couldn't identify Sandy's exact impact on retail sales because it doesn't separate regional sales data.
Auto sales slipped 1.6% last month, compared to September. But the government also revised downward August and September auto sales.

Townsend, Tennessee - Great Smoky Mountains National Park
March 21, 2010
Welcome to the Fishing Report. Clouds are moving into our area. Rain is on the way at some point today. There was hardly any traffic on the streets this morning. I probably saw two cars. When I stopped at the swinging bridge to take the water temperature I ran into an old buddy who is often there when I am. I don't know his name. He lives in Alabama, but has a house on the other side of the river where he spends several weeks each year. He will turn 91 years old next month. I've been talking to him for years. The water temperature is 48 degrees, up a couple of ticks from what it has been each morning.
Fishing is good at times, especially in the lower elevation streams. Hugh Hartsell came back from a guided trip yesterday and told me his client started catching trout around 2:00 pm. Before that, it was slow. The bugs really started hatching, the trout got active but they had to leave. I talked to a lot of other anglers who had a slow morning. Those who experienced good fishing, did so in the afternoon. I bet the evening was good as well.
Right now you should use grey dry flies in sizes #12 to #16. A Quill Gordon or Blue Quill would be a good choice. Blue Wing Olive dry flies might be the choice at times. Try an #18 dry. Dropping a Bead Head Pheasant Tail or Quill Gordon wet fly behind your dry is another good idea. Stay hidden, get a good drift and you should do well, especially later in the day.
Little River Road is still closed from Townsend to Metcalf Bottoms due to the rock slide. They are working on it now. Hopefully, it will re-open today. I would not plan on that. Engineers have to check the mountain side to see if any more work needs to be done to avert future slides.
Temperatures are going to be warm over the next few days. Fishing will get better. One problem looms in our short term future, rain and wind. This system will arrive sometime today, increase in intensity tonight and persist through tomorrow night. The National Weather Service predicts gusty winds to 40 miles per hour and heavy rain. The water level in most of the Smokies is already fairly high. Flow in the Little River below the "Y" is currently 440 cubic feet per second (cfs). Median flow for this date is 396 cfs.
I'm actually hoping we don't get much rain. Though we are behind normal rainfall for the year, a gulley washer at this point would not be good for us anglers. The rivers might get blown out.
We have been slammed at the store. Business has been great. Yesterday and Friday there were only three of us working and our sales ratio per staff person was very high. That equates to less than desired service over time. Other than the three of us, Paula and Walter were teaching a class. We'll do some shifting around. It seems like now we are over staffed on slow days and under staffed on busy ones. I would like to see four or five people working on the floor on Friday and Saturday. We'll get that worked out by next weekend.
Have a great day and thank you for being here with us.

ArubaOS Virtual EmulationStatus: New
Dear Aruba Community,
there are any arubaos emulation software for us doing the practice or doing simulation without using the real device?.
this would helping us to learn more and get used to it with ArubaOS.
Virtual mobility controller.Status: New
It would be awesome if the flexibility exist to load the Aruba OS onto a Virtual machine for training and deployment purposes.
Aruba Academy CoursStatus: New
it will be great that aruba publish a tool for academic use (like Cisco) , now that Aruba Academy exist, and it will be awesome that aruba devloppe a simulation tools too.
Self Study Literature.Status: New
I would like to know if in some future, there could be a chance to pursue Aruba Certification, by going the self study route?
ACMX ClassStatus: New
it will be grate that aruba propose ACMX Class,with troobleshouting complexe LAB
I Would love to see Aruba add more information on RF Studies?Status: New
I really like to see Aruba add more Wireless information like CWNP program to be before learning product knowledge information.
Aruba home labStatus: New
I plan on studying for the ACMX test and really wished Aruba had a home lab kit for Aruba certified engineers.
I already have a instant AP and would like for Aruba to offer a VM controller/AirWave with a training limitation of 3 AP's and 10 devices that all tie to your certication #. Would be great of configuring policies, testing roaming performance, and configuring templates for instants AP's.
Training on "What is open source?"Status: New
I am VIA developer works on Mac and Windows OS (i.e. Love both Bill gates and Steve jobs). I read code, take idea from open source projects.
While reading open source projects, I always confuse whether it is correct to take idea from open source project. Moreover there are many open source licenses, judiciary laws, impact on close code systems and "what is correct definition of open source?".
Could you please arrange one comprehensive training over open source?
Thanks and Regards,
Anand Choubey
More Whiteboarding Selling training for partners?Status: New
I reallly like this and thats how i sell when i have to but i need more practice and more good whiteboarding selling videos would be really nice :)
would be possible? For now there is just one for BYOD which is GREAT! it would be nice having for IAP, CAMPUS WLAN, Airwaves, and you know all the products!
Certification and Training ForumStatus: New
It would be great if Aruba can start a separate forum focused on people studying for Aruba Certifications. This way everyone can discuss, collaborate, ask questions etc related to Aruba Training and Certs.
ACDX renew EXAMStatus: New
It will be good to have an ACDX renew exam (like ACMX renew exam).
Link the ARUBA/Airheads account with the CWNP account.Status: New
I think that if we could link the accounts and be able to exchange the certifications (have the CWNP cert's saved on Aruba site) would be a good idea. Everything would be managed easier. Cisco and Microsoft do have that enabled on their sites.
Also, added CWNP badges as well.
IAP GUEST DesignStatus: New
Question regarding Guest design for IAPs.
In a controller environment, a hardened Ethernet port gets directed to a firewall port, or DMZ for guest traffic. Thus, physically separating the guest traffic from the corporate LAN. But with IAP's/ virtual controllers I don't have that option.
How do I prevent guest traffic from hitting the LAN, other than using Firewall rules to prevent that specific destination? What's the best approach?
Thanks Stefan

Impossible to slash costs with bloated civil service
YOURSAY 'This is really a nonsensical statement by Mahathir. Do we have a choice of using cheaper alternatives for highways, electricity, sugar and flour?'
Cut costs, don't raise prices, Dr M tells gov't
Absalom: This is too little too late from the former PM, where most of these problems can be traced back to his long tenure (his successors just fine-tuned and perfected the art).
How to pay the IPP (independent power producer) billionaires and toll concessionaire magnates if you don't increase the electricity tariffs and toll charges? How do you fund the PM's Department's RM7 billion budget if you don't increase the price of petrol, sugar and flour?
Where are all those 'needy' folks going to find the money to siphon out of the country (and to buy prime property overseas) if not from the pockets of the man on the street?
Swipenter: Cost-cuttings to the informed rakyat means:
1) Minimise graft and corruption
2) Minimise wastage and leakage
3) No white-elephant projects
4) Streamline the bloated government departments
4) Improve productivity and efficiency of civil servants
5) Stop all the voting-buying exercise such as BRIM and other handouts
6) Stop funding all extremist NGOs like Perkasa, Pekida, etc
7) Cut extravagant spending of PM, FLOM, top civil servants and top brass of GLCs
8) Retire and dismiss all deadwood in the civil service
9) Reform the NEP to ensure only the deserving gets the assistance
10) Practise open tender system and stop all rent-seeking activities.
In my opinion, all these unproductive activities probably add at least 30 percent to our cost of living.
Tehachapi: How ridiculous! On the one hand, Dr Mahathir Mohamad supports giving out subsidies, imposing regulations and price controls and on the other hand, he speaks about competition to lower prices. This is worse than voodoo economics.
You can't have the cake and eat it. Either we have regulated prices according to whims and fancies of the government or we have market prices based on forces of supply and demand.
The whole pricing system is unraveling now. Malaysians should brace for a period of high inflation.
The root cause of this problem lies in corruption, inefficiency, misallocation of resources, and bad regulations.
Cala: What kind of advice is this, Mahathir? As usual, the ex-PM fired off his supposedly well-thought-out advice, but to many of us they are nothing but a basket of useless uttering.
First, talking about cost, look at the bloated 1,400,000 strong civil service. Taiwan, whose population is 23 million (Malaysia has 28 million), the civil service is only 400,000.
Second, if the highway concessionaires deem it fit to raise the toll, they would have to justify their costs. And does Malaysia practice open tender before giving these concessionaires the contract?
wg321: PM Najib Razak wants to punish the urban voters especially the Chinese who did not vote for him in GE13. As long as he takes good care of the rural Malays, which is his power base, there is nothing to worry.
The toll hikes will not affect rural Malays because they don't use the highways and neither do the high assessment to be paid by Kuala Lumpur folks.
Very soon, the 1.4 million Malay civil servants will ask for more pay. He will oblige because they are also his political power base.
He may also increase the number of civil servants to two million so that his fixed deposit will increase.
The Reaper: This is really a nonsensical statement by Mahathir. Do we have a choice of using cheaper alternatives for highways, electricity, sugar and flour?
Everything is controlled by monopolies, which was created by you when you were PM.
Oh Ya?: Cut cost? Why didn't Mahathir urge the ruling elites to renegotiate the IPPs and toll concessionaires, both of which were his brainchild? Or to dismantle the monopolies in the automobile, sugar and flour industries instead of protecting his good friends?
What about open tenders for Petronas' jobs instead of benefiting his son and similar rent seekers? Pain killers wouldn't cure Bolehland's ills, only a major surgery will.
Anonymous_3e86: So far the BN government has not "listened" to the rakyat. It is still trying to justify the price hikes.
Why are the increases introduced at the same time? Because Najib is only interested in a quick solution to Fitch's rating downgrade of Malaysia.
He doesn't care about the rakyat's suffering. Corruption and overspending led to the rating downgrade. Now the rakyat has to suffer instead of these corrupt politicians.
Unspin: There is one significant difference between Mahathir and Najib - Mahathir viewed his premiership as a beginning - to do something good for the country (albeit he did it with many flaws) whereas Najib (and his wife, Rosmah Mansor) viewed the premiership as an end - to do something good for themselves.
Najib (and Rosmah) do not give a s**t about what we think as long as they can exploit and enjoy the perks that come with the position. (By the way, I am not a fan of Mahathir because I think he sucks big time).
Myop101: Dear Dr M, for what its worth, at least this time you made a point that I can wholeheartedly agree with.
But isn't it sad for you to advise the current crop of leaders to do what your administration failed to do?
The auditor-general had highlighted financial mismanagement, abuse and negligence in the government during your tenure as PM as well.
Anonymous #33227154: Government agencies and their cronies continue to receive huge inflated tenders while civil servants continue to receive pay rise and bonuses without improving on productivity.
And who are paying for all these? We, the rakyat, of course. If this is not outright robbery, then what is it?
Cost-cutting? Mahathir is spitting in the wind

1. Re: Where should we store RIDC connection info?Jiri.Machotka-Oracle Dec 28, 2011 9:22 AM (in response to bglazyr)Boris,
you are right. It is quite difficult to find any info. What I could find is this:
- how to create a connection is described here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_content.htm#BABCCFJH
- as soon as you create a connection, you can add it to your project (I believe it should resolve deployment)
- for spaces, there are few settings in Enterprise Manager (doing the same?)
- what I could not find anywhere is how to use the created connection in your code. I understand you don't want to have it hardcoded.
2. Re: Where should we store RIDC connection info?bglazyr Dec 28, 2011 11:36 AM (in response to Jiri.Machotka-Oracle)Hello!
Thank you for reply!
- how to create a connection is described here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_content.htm#BABCCFJHAs I wrote before
Details how to do it is written in your link. But we already created it use for standard taskflows developed by Oracle.
I figured out , that we can create Application resource in JDeveloper with RIDC connection details to UCM.
But I have no ideas how to use it in our own taskflows that we developed by our own. We have to get connection details in our java code to pass it to RIDC function _manager.createClient and IdcContext constructor.
- what I could not find anywhere is how to use the created connection in your code.That is our problem.
I understand you don't want to have it hardcoded.Yes.
Ok, if we can't access connector details, may be there is any other secure place to store connection details?
Best regards,
3. Re: Where should we store RIDC connection info?Snowy Nov 19, 2012 4:46 PM (in response to bglazyr)This is the best practice:
import oracle.stellent.ridc.IdcClient;
import oracle.stellent.ridc.IdcContext;
import oracle.webcenter.doclib.internal.config.DocLibADFConfigUtils;
String connectionName = DocLibADFConfigUtils.getPrimaryConnectionName();
IdcClient idcClient = StellentUtils.getIdcClient(connectionName);
IdcContext idcContext = StellentUtils.getDefaultIdcContext(connectionName);
4. Re: Where should we store RIDC connection info?Jaap Spiering Nov 26, 2012 10:32 AM (in response to Snowy)I use a similar solution, but still.. DocLibADFConfigUtils is an internal class - There should be a way to achieve this without using internal classes, shouldn't it?
