Returns the role-based access control (RBAC) roles assigned to a user. This cmdlet was introduced in Lync Server 2010.
Get-CsAdminRoleAssignment -Identity <String> [-Force <SwitchParameter>] [-LocalStore <SwitchParameter>]
The command shown in Example 1 returns all of the RBAC roles assigned to the user kenmyer.
Get-CsAdminRoleAssignment -Identity "kenmyer"
Example 2 returns the RBAC roles for all of the users who have been enabled for Lync Server. To do this, the command begins by calling the Get-CsUser cmdlet without any parameters; that returns a collection of all the users in the organization who have been enabled for Lync Server or Office Communications Server. This data is then piped to the ForEach-Object cmdlet, which loops through each user account in the collection and does the following: 1) echoes the user's display name to the screen; and 2) uses the Get-CsAdminRoleAssignment cmdlet to return the user's RBAC roles. The user account information must be piped to the ForEach-Object cmdlet because the Get-CsAdminRoleAssignment cmdlet does not directly accept pipelined data.
Get-CsUser | ForEach-Object {$_.DisplayName; Get-CsAdminRoleAssignment -Identity $_.SamAccountName}
Role-based access control (RBAC) enables administrators to delegate control of specific management tasks for Lync Server. For example, instead of granting your organization's help desk full administrator privileges you can give these employees very specific rights: the right to manage only user accounts; the right to manage only Enterprise Voice components; and the right to manage only archiving and Archiving Server. In addition, these rights can be limited in scope: one user can be given the right to manage Enterprise Voice, but only in the Redmond site; while another user can be given the right to manage user accounts, but only if those accounts are in the Finance organizational unit (OU).
The Get-CsAdminRoleAssignment cmdlet provides a way for you to retrieve a list of the RBAC roles that have been assigned to a user.
Who can run this cmdlet: By default, members of the following groups are authorized to run the Get-CsAdminRoleAssignment cmdlet locally: RTCUniversalUserAdmins, RTCUniversalServerAdmins, RTCUniversalReadOnlyAdmins. To return a list of all the RBAC roles this cmdlet has been assigned to (including any custom RBAC roles you have created yourself), run the following command from the Windows PowerShell prompt:
Get-CsAdminRole | Where-Object {$_.Cmdlets –match "Get-CsAdminRoleAssignment"}
SamAccountName of the user whose RBAC roles are to be returned, You can retrieve the SamAccountName for a user by using a command similar to this:
Get-CsUser "Ken Myer" | Select-Object SamAccountName
Note that you must use the SamAccountName when specifying the user Identity. Other common values used when specifying identities, such as the Active Directory display name or the user's SIP address, will not work with Get-CsAdminRoleAssignment.
Suppresses the display of any non-fatal error message that might occur when running the command.
Retrieves the RBAC role assignment data from the local replica of the Central Management store rather than from the Central Management store itself.
String. The Get-CsAdminRoleAssignment cmdlet accepts a pipelined string value representing the SamAccountName of a user.
The Get-CsAdminRoleAssignment cmdlet returns string values representing the RBAC roles held by the specified user.

How fun!! I'm always looking for some good ideas for my nieces and nephews and this is perfect!! So excited to try it out for them!
oh my gosh, what a great idea! I loved playing with gack as a kid!
Will any powdered detergent do? I could not find Borax
I am not sure- I think that it has to be Borax because of the ingredients in Borax and the chemical reaction that it has with the water and the glue.
I do this with my students in Chemistry, and it is always one of their favorite labs! The Borax can be hard to find sometimes, but Target always seems to have it – usually on a bottom shelf near the laundry detergent, but not always exactly next to it (which I found out one day after searching for it for about 20 minutes one aisle over from where it was!)
I really love this idea. Thanks for sharing. Definitely going to try this weekend with the kids because I am so tired of the Play-Doh drying out and getting stuck in the carpet, so thanks so much again for sharing!!!
how much water exactly?
You fill up your empty glue bottles with water and add that in, which is 8 ounces. Then later in the recipe you will need 1/2 cup of water to add the 1 teaspoon of borax. Hope this helps. It's so fun to play with.

So fun!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Ooh, I'm so excited about this! I loved this stuff as a kid, and now my kids can play with it too!

Does the coloring leave any residue? Like if they play over my tablecloth will it stain? I rarely use food coloring because it scares me.
You would be fine to not use any coloring at all, if you want! It won't be a very fun color, but it would be the same gooey texture. I used a lot of food coloring and the kids played on my white countertop and it kind of discolored the countertop, but I was able to clean it off with some scouring powder. I hope that helps!
My son made this is in preschool last year, and they made it in combination with reading "Bartholomew and the Oobleck", by Dr. Suess. Instead of calling it Gak, they called it Oobleck, and the kids had a BLAST!!!!
Thanks for linking up to the City of Motherly Love Thursday Linky party (cityofmotherlylove.blogspot.com). I really appreciate it!!!
This is really cute. What a great idea. Thanks so much for stopping by Ducks 'n a Row and linking up. We have a blog hop every Wednesday. Would love it if you'd come by again. I'll be seeing you on Saturday, too!
Looks so cool, and I love the colour!
This is a great idea–my 5-year old will love this! Thank you so much for linking up at What's In Your Kitchen Wednesday.
What a fun activity for the kids! Thanks for linking up with us this week!
will this leave the kids hands stained? I was thinking of having my Sunday School class make it, but don't know if the moms would appreciate their hands getting all stained.

Hi Shelley, It would depend on how much food coloring you put it. I used about a half a bottle of green and it left a faint outline on my white counter. You don't need to add color or just put a little in to make it a fun light shade. You can totally leave it white and for sure not have any problems. But I think you would be fine just coloring it barely. Sounds like a fun Sunday School to me!!! 🙂 Hope this helps.
We chose this fantastic idea as one of our favorites from last week's link party! Thanks a million for sharing and feel free to grab a button if you'd like! 🙂 – Erika
LOVE this!! I've got to make this with my kids!
Thanks for linking up! I am showing it off on my blog tomorrow!
We just made this and I used gel food coloring (just a few drops of blue and red for a nice lavender) and it didn't stain anything at all. Thanks for this, they had great fun! Unfortunately the 11 year old (of course it would be the oldest) discovered why you shouldn't use it as a hat ROFL.
Thanks! That was super easy!
Such a great idea! I've been implementing these ideas lately too and its amazing how something so simple is so helpful! I want to start a page as your ans recently I asked a web design company ELCO PLANET (www.elcoplanet.com) to develope the page for me.. I was just interested for web hosting.. can you please advice me about web hosting provider.. have you ever heard for http://www.elcoplanet.com offering hosting, alfa reseller hosting… ? thanks a lot
We have a private company do our web hosting because they host our MyRecipeMagic.com site. There are thousands of webhosting providers. I have heard that HostGator.com does a good job. And if are using Google's blogger.com, you can get your blog hosted for free. WordPress.com charges a little for a simple blog, but that is about all we know.
My children play with play-dough almost everyday. You are so right about the mess – we bought a handheld vacuum just so they could start cleaning it up themselves. Excited to try this gap recipe as an alternative. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! We can not play with playdoh here due to celiac disease (it is made with wheat, primarily, and my husband and I are both sensitive to wheat). It would contaminate the whole house badly. Also, I hate salt dough, it has a gritty texture and is a pain to make. This Gak stuff is the most amazing stuff ever! For about 3 bucks (get the 4oz glue bottles at Walmart, it is the cheapest cost per ounce) we made 3 batches of Gak (one per kid) and a sick day went from unbearably whiny to fun. Plus, we threw in a chemistry lesson about changing the properties of substances. Thank you again, this was SO much fun!!!
When I taught elementary school, we made a version with corn starch. Don't recall any glue, so it was less expensive…. the texture was a little different; the fun equal!
I enjoy your site. I work as a sub in a preschool and remembered this idea from when my own kids were young. I was happy to find your recipe as I planned to make it for my grandsons. . . until my now grown daughter warned me about Borax being absorbed and toxic and asked me not to do it. Please read the recent Government warning, they offer a safe substitute, cornstarch, that makes it just as well. http://www.co.thurston.wa.us/health/admin/news/PDF/HealthNewsBorax2013.pdf
I have followed these directions to the tee and my water does not absorb in to glue I put the borax with 1/2 cup water and start stirring and I get a ball of lite colored glue hard what I'm I doing wrong.
Mary I having the same problem….. followed instructions and have a ball of hard glue that snaps, the water and glue have separated… is there anyway to rescue it or do I just throw it away and never try this again.
looks adorable! but can't find 'borax' in my country….any ideas for substitutes? cornstarch maybe?
Have you ever tried this with glitter glue? I was curious is anyone has and if the results were the same. This looks like fun.
I took child care in high school and we made this with sta-flo liquid starch. I cant remember the measurements but i believe all it was, was glue, sta-flo and food coloring
How many kids does this yield ?

Over the July 4 holiday weekend, Valley residents got a peek at the monsoon, and the rain and lightning just might reappear this week.
Breaking loose late Monday, the monsoon finally appeared in scattered parts of the Valley and there's a 30 percent chance that it will return on Wednesday, according to information from the National Weather Service.
"It came in right on cue," said James Sawtelle, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service. "Although the monsoon season officially begins on June 15, it's often right around the 4th of July that it begins. Areas around north Phoenix and north of Scottsdale received a little more precipitation, causing heavy wind gusts from outflow boundaries formed around thunderstorms. Tuesday and Wednesday are the best chances for it to happen again this week."
And, it will be slightly cooler this week than it was June 22-29 when each of those days saw temperatures of 110 degrees or hotter, Sawtelle said.
Over the next four days, only one day - Thursday - is expected to reach a high of 110 before it drops back to 109 on Friday, Sawtelle said.
As the temperature remains somewhat steady with an average high of 107 forecast through the remainder of the week, the chance of rain will diminish.
There will be a 20 percent chance of rain on Thursday throughout the Valley which will last through early Friday, but temperatures in the 100s will remain, Sawtelle said.
"These temperatures are normal for this time of year," Sawtelle said.

'Family Guy' Season 10, Episode 15 Recap - 'Burning Down the Bayit'
"You know what this show needed? More Mort!" ...is a phrase that you will never hear anyone say, ever. Can Mort be a funny character when used correctly? Yes. But more often than not, he's just an excuse for a barrage of Jew jokes that are rarely funny past their shock value.
So you can assume that when Mort shows up on the 15th episode of the 10th season of "Family Guy," it's going to be a filler episode. In traditional "Family Guy" fashion, things start with Peter's riding lawnmower and end up after a few turns at Mort's pharmacy, which hasn't been doing well since Muriel died.
Peter and Quagmire offer to help Mort get the pharmacy more business, but instead end up killing a bus full of kids with a banner advertising the pharmacy, so the three guys hatch a new plan: burn the place down for the insurance money.
Everything goes off without a hitch, until Joe shows up and starts digging around. Eventually he discovers the truth and arrests Peter, Quagmire and Mort, but when they remind Joe how all insurance companies are jerks, he lets them go.
So all in all, it looks like this whole episode was an excuse to complain (rightfully) about how insurance companies are a total rip-off. Oh, and Jew jokes. Lots of those, too.
There was one moment of fun with "They're going with B" (when in doubt on "Family Guy," say things with a weird line reading), but when an episode ends with a gag like the "basement family," you know this one was just a bit of a throw-away in the history of "Family Guy."
Cut-Aways of the Week:
- English to raccoon translator: B-, a little weak on the punchline but not a bad bit
- Wheel-Cher: C+, the whole thing was a little too cute
- Seeing The Beatles at the Ed Sullivan Show: C, gross but kinda funny
- Robocop's day off: B, could have been any superhero, but the joke worked
- Scott Bakula in the mirror: B+, if only for the randomness

NEW DELHI, INDIA, MAY 5, 2001: With the population count showing a dramatic drop in the male-female ratio among children in many parts of the country, India's Supreme Court has directed the government to enforce the ban on procedures to determine the sex of unborn children. Such procedures have led to abortions of female fetuses and an increasing imbalance in the ratio of males to females in the population. The Times of India reported that, "The court has asked state governments to furnish quarterly reports on the enforcement of laws banning sex-selective abortions in the country and to begin a campaign against female infanticide and prenatal determination of sex."

Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin has angrily denied reports that Israel is holding out to Syria the possibility of full withdrawal from the Golan Heights.
Rabin labeled untrue a report that Israeli negotiator Itamar Rabinovich told the Syrians Israel "does not rule out" a full withdrawal from the strategic plateau.
The prime minister told the Cabinet on Sunday he spoke after telephoning the professor-turned-diplomat in Washington overnight to double-check the story in the Labor-affiliated newspaper Davar. He labeled the report by diplomatic correspondent Menachem Shalev "irresponsible."
As Rabin spoke, scores of Golan residents demonstrated outside the Prime Minister's Office against the land-for-peace proposals offered by the Israeli delegation at the peace talks in Washington.
The seventh round of talks opened last week with a new Israeli signal of willingness to be flexible on the Golan issue. A document presented by the Israelis for the first time used the word "withdrawal" rather than vaguer formulations in indicating readiness to trade land for peace.
The offer was rejected the following day by chief Syrian negotiator Mouwafak al-Allaf as "nothing new."
Rabin told the Cabinet in a prepared statement that Israel is ready to withdraw to secure and recognized boundaries, after negotiation, as part of a peace package with Syria. His often stated conditions for such a package include open borders, trade and full diplomatic relations.
He said the Israeli formulation does not specify where the borders are to be and does not imply total withdrawal.
Davar correspondent Shalev said he stood by his story, which was attributed to "sources in Washington."
According to his report, Rabinovich told Allaf that Israel rejects the demand for the total withdrawal called for under the Syrian interpretation of the land-for-peace formula in U.N. Security Council Resolution 242 – which was careful to exclude reference to the return of "all" lands taken by Israel during the Six-Day War of 1967.
But the Israeli negotiator went on to say that the formulation now proposed by Israel as the basis of a joint statement by the two sides could accommodate the Syrian interpretation.
The Israeli formulation of the withdrawal clause, as cited by Davar, reads: "A withdrawal of Israeli forces will be carried out to agreed and recognized boundaries following negotiation between Israel and Syria."
Settlement leaders from the Golan have accused Rabin and his aides of selling them out and violating election campaign promises. They pledged tougher public action to fight a government policy that, they said, was a "withdrawal from Zionism."
But Health Minister Haim Ramon, a Rabin confidant, went out to meet the demonstrators and insisted that the position of the prime minister was entirely consistent with his election platform, which called for some territorial compromise on the Golan, but not total withdrawal.
In a television interview Friday night, Rabin spoke carefully of "withdrawal in the Golan, not from the Golan."
He said there would be no talk of withdrawal unless and until the Syrians spelled out the nature of the peace they envision.
In other recent statements, Rabin has insisted there must be face-to-face summit talks with President Hafez Assad before a peace treaty can be signed, in order to demonstrate to the Syrian and Israeli people that Damascus has genuinely embarked on the road to peace with Israel.

Chittenden and Eastman Dresser & Mirror

This dresser has been used for many years in my family (at least 3 generations), been moved several times, so it has the expected wear & tear that goes with that. It's not a "fine" or fancy piece to begin with, so the bumps and bruises give it a rather authentic stressed patina that goes with the type of piece it is in the first place. The drawers all work as expected, though with this old piece it's just wood on wood (no fancy slides, etc). Has that nice "old furniture" smell to it too. The hardware is definitely not original, as holes on inside of drawer don't line up with screws on pulls. Looks like it had different pulls at one time and the external holes were filled as part of a refinish somewhere along the line. Made of wide-grained hardwood for sure, but doesn't seem like oak. Maybe walnut?

Ready for Its Close-Up
If the campuses in Billy: The Early Years or Hannah Montana: The Movie look familiar, it's because both theatrical-release films shot scenes on the Vanderbilt campus. In the feature about evangelist Billy Graham, the campus stood in for Northwestern Bible College, Wheaton College and even Princeton. Vanderbilt staff and locals in 1940s period dress were also part of the scenes. Filming for Hannah Montana: The Movie occurred outdoors near Kirkland and Buttrick Halls and indoors at Sarratt Cinema and Furman Hall. Production trucks and equipment lined the perimeter of the campus along West End Avenue one quiet day in May. Again, some faculty and staff served as extras in the film. While on campus, the movie's director, Peter Chesolm, and other crew members visited the Maymester course, America on Film: Performance and Culture. The film opens spring 2009.

Wrestling with the text
"Who decided I should preach on August 17th?" That was my question to Jan at the LC-TC board meeting back in March.
I had agreed to preach tonight without having looked up the lessons, and when I started to do my sermon preparation I found that the Old Testament lesson was Abraham talking with the Lord about Sodom and Gomorrah! Then I turned to the Epistle lesson and found these words: "See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the universe, and not according to Christ." By this time I was wondering what exactly God was trying to tell me with all this.
Then in my personal reading I came to this scene in The Great Divorce where C. S. Lewis is in hell waiting for a bus to take the damned on a day-trip to heaven: "A moment later two young people in front of [the big man] also left us arm in arm. They were both so trousered, slender, giggly and falsetto that I could be sure of the sex of neither, but it was clear that each for the moment preferred the other to the chance of a place in the bus." [1] And that little gem was followed by my coming upon Psalm 69 in my morning devotions: "You know my folly, O God; my guilt is not hidden from you. May those who hope in you not be disgraced because of me, O Lord, the LORD Almighty; may those who seek you not be put to shame because of me, O God of Israel."
Well! Thus the question: "Who decided I should preach on August 17th?" Jan said that I could preach on another verse or take the "hospitality" approach to interpreting Sodom and Gomorrah. Yes, there is that. Last month we heard Jodi give an excellent message on hospitality, but I don't see that I can add anything to what she said. If I was to have anything of value to say to you, I needed to wrestle with this text myself, even if, like Jacob, I had to get my hip dislocated to get a blessing out of it. Since the theme of the day for this Sunday was "Prayer," the best I could do was pray and go on.
What about this "hospitality" thing?
So what about this "hospitality" thing? A couple of months ago I came across a triptych by Xenia Pokrovski titled, "Trinity." The right panel was superscribed, "God's Anger Against Sodom." The left panel was superscribed, "The Holy Hospitality" and showed Abraham entertaining his three guests. Ronald L. Ecker in his useful little book And Adam Knew Eve, A Dictionary of Sex in the Bible states:
That's a start, and I assume we all know it, but I think there's more to be said than a discussion of Near Eastern culture. Granted, we are talking about more than being a bad host or hostess. This was more like news reports of visitors to Miami being afraid to ask for directions because it marked them as targets for robbery and murder. But still, to me, this was not quite satisfying. It didn't speak to me. I'm Lutheran; I need to hear God's words of law and gospel for me.
What was the "basic sin of the Sodomites on the night in question?" The apostle Jude said, "Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion." (Jude 1:7) What sort of "sexual immorality and perversion?" The prophet Jeremiah compared the hypocrites of his day to Sodom: "They commit adultery and live a lie." (Jeremiah 23:14) Hmm... Doesn't sound like homosexuality to me. Jeremiah goes on, "They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns from his wickedness." (Jeremiah 23:14) The prophet Isaiah concurs: "The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves." (Isaiah 3:9) So also the prophet Ezekiel: "Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy." (Ezekiel 16:49) This seems to me to be a loveless arrogance that looks down on anyone they consider "beneath them."
While I was struggling with where this was all taking me, I also came upon this quotation by C. S. Lewis in his book The Four Loves, "I believe that the most lawless and inordinate loves are less contrary to God's will than a self-invited and self-protective lovelessness." [3] And this took me to the words of Jesus, "You have heard that it was said 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:43-48) Aha! Prayer: the theme of the day!
Prayer for whom? For those who show a loveless arrogance to others. And who would I pick out as the primary candidate for that? Why, Jesus always picked on the Pharisees, so I would pick the Pharisees of today. I would pick the established church! In their delightful book, Falling in Love with Jesus, Dee Brestin and Kathy Troccoli quote Jack Deere:
This lukewarm lovelessness reminds me not only of the lukewarm church at Laodicea, but also of the church at Ephesus: "I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place." (Revelation 2:2-5)
Lee Frances Heller in one of her Christian Love Letters wrote:
For some people this ungrace of legalism is the only message they hear. Why else would you be able to buy bumper-stickers that say, "Jesus hates me this I know for the Christians tell me so." Because the church is made up of humans, it has a blackness in its soul that comes from the human soul. And that blackness is what the world sees most often. Its history includes the violence of crusades and witch-burnings. Paul's accusation is still true: "You who brag about the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? As it is written: 'God's name is blasphemed among the Nations because of you.'" (Rom 2:23-24) I have personally heard one person advocate the burning of all Christians.
And perhaps that call to the pyre is justified. It seems like the goal of the loveless church is to remake the world in its image. "Jesus said, 'Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.'" (Mt 23:13-15)
So my brothers and sisters, I must ask the question, "Who are the Sodomites?" It is the established, legalistic, loveless church that is walking in the ways of Sodom. And in that remarkable way that God makes "the last to be first and the first to be last," we are called upon by God to pray for the salvation of the church lest we be found to be loveless and arrogant ourselves.
What is "love"?
Pray for the church? The loveless, legalistic, arrogant church? How hard that can be when you are arrested at a synod convention for protesting the church's lack of action! Or when you have been denied an internship assignment or placement because of who and what you are. Or when you have been asked to leave a church or to stop serving a visible ministry because of how you dress. Or when bishops are asked to resign for ordaining the "wrong" sort of people. Or when your congregation is disciplined because of who your pastor's partner is. Or when you are removed from your calling because of who your child's partner is. Or when your home church votes to not be a welcoming congregation.
Even the sparrow finds a home,
But not us. How can the average GLBT person love a church that turns them away at the door? Terry M. has said, "[We] need to watch out for temptation. Perhaps the most tempting of all being the temptation to hate those who hate us." And still we are commanded, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you?" Terry also said, "I don't mean just praying prayers like, 'Lord, make them see the error of their ways.' I mean praying for their healing when they are sick. Praying for their financial situation. Praying for their families. Praying that God will bless them in every way. In short, praying the sort of prayers you would like others to pray for you." [6]
We cannot look this command to love and pray in the face without seeing the righteous demands of God's law. "The commandments, 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not murder,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not covet,' and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." (Romans 13:8-10) Even when Jesus says it, it still comes out as law: "A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. All men will know that you are my disciples if you love one another." (John 13: 34-35)
Yet, we do not love. We just got through passing judgement on the established church, calling it legalistic, arrogant and loveless. And Paul says, "You have no excuse, you who pass judgement on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemned yourself, because you who pass judgement do the same things." (Romans 2:1) No, we cannot love. "No one will be declared righteous in [God's] sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin." (Romans 3:20) We fail.
This is love.
Remember the Epistle lesson?
Now this verse makes sense. It tells me not to fall into the loveless, legalism of the established church. Paul gives the solution: "When you were dead in trespasses and uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive together with him, when he forgave us all our trespasses, erasing the record that stood against us with its legal demands. He set this aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and made a public example of them, triumphing over them in it." (Col 2:12-15)
If then we are to truly love, we must turn away from our own vain attempts at love and, like Sarah Smith in The Great Divorce [7], really fall in Love; fall into the One who is Love, who has taken our lovelessness upon Himself on the cross; and allow His love to shine through us. He really is the only one who can show us what true love is. "This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." (1 John 4:10) "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) The Lord has said, "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness. I will build you up again and you will be rebuilt, O Virgin Israel. Again you will take up your tambourines and go out to dance with the joyful." (Jeremiah 31:3-4) Falling in love with Jesus really is what it's all about. It is an awesome thing.
My song is love unknown,
What about Sodom and Gomorrah? Abraham gives us a model of how we should love and pray for the church. We could be loveless and pray for God to sweep it clean or even to sweep it away. Have we the love to pray as Abraham? "Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Suppose there are fifty righteous within the church; will you then sweep away the organization and not forgive it for the fifty righteous who are in it?... Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking? Will you destroy the whole church for lack of five?... Suppose forty are found there.... Suppose thirty are found there.... Suppose twenty are found there.... Suppose ten are found there." And the Lord answered, "For the sake of ten I will not destroy it."
There is the promise of the power of prayer in that story. God's ears are always open to our prayers, and as long as we look to his mercy we need not fear his judgements. So Jesus has taught us to be unceasing in our prayers: "I say to you, Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. Is there anyone among you who, if your child asks for a fish, will give a snake instead of a fish? Or if the child asks for an egg, will give a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" (Luke 11:9-13)
When our faith is placed in Him who is Love, then the Holy Spirit will enable us to naturally love our neighbors, even love and pray for our enemies. "The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.... You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge your sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" (Galatians 5:6,13-14) Not that we have kept this commandment, but that God has kept it for us and sends his Holy Spirit to make it alive in us. "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity." (Col 3:12-14)
If we will do that, if we will fall in Love, if we will place our faith in Him, then we will be in a position to face that church which refuses to love us into itself. We will be in a position to love that church into us. As Dr. Becky Allison has said, "Love -- the love of God as manifest in Christ -- can empower us to respond to our antagonists in wisdom and love. By our example we will do more to cause others to accept us than by any argument." [9] It will not be easy, nor will it be swift. But, by the power of prayer, someday that love will be reflected and it will no longer be remarkable to be accepted into a church the way Lee Frances Heller tells that she was:
Let us pray that our love will help make it so. On the day I called, you answered me, Amen.

Good morning, Welcome To The Muntham Apartments in Torquay
The Muntham Luxury Apartments are situated in Wellswood, a leafy residential area of Torquay, just a short distance from Torquay harbour and town centre. Consequently, the apartments are ideally placed for guests to take full advantage of all that "Wellswood Village" has to offer. This includes a patisserie, a delicatessen, beauty salons, hair salons, cafes, a wine bar, a pub a newsagent and a mini supermarket. For more details of our Wellswood neighbourhood, please click here.
The apartments are also a super base from which to explore The English Riviera. The World famous Kent's Cavern is but a ten to fifteen minute stroll away, the nearest beach is about twelve minutes away on foot and the stunning Walls Hill cliff top area (site of an Iron Age Fort) is about a fifteen minute walk. The close proximity to key bus routes (a five minute walk ) also means that guests can leave their car behind in the car park and enjoy a car free break. Buses to and from Torquay harbour and town centre take about five minutes whilst those to Babbacombe and St Marychurch also take five and ten minutes respectively. Some buses go further and it is possible to travel as far as Teignmouth and Dawlish in one direction and Paignton and Brixham in another without changing buses. Equally guests can access English Riviera attractions such as Paignton Zoo, The National Trust properties of Coleton Fishacre, Greenway and Compton Castle and Torre Abbey in less than half an hour by car.
Many visitors enjoy a visit to the theatre during their stay in the area and The Muntham Apartments are ideally placed for theatre breaks. The Babbacombe Theatre is a five minute car or taxi journey away whilst The Princess Theatre and The Little Theatre can be reached in less than ten minutes.
St Matthias' Church is a short walk from the apartments and so is well placed for guests attending special events such as weddings or christenings.
The Muntham Apartments themselves have been created within one of Torquay's finest Victorian villas. originally built for a man who became one of Torquay's most notable members of Parliament , it went on to be the home of a former Lord Chief Justice of Calcutta. it was he who named it "Muntham" which apparently meant "gentle breeze" in Hindi.
Today we are able to offer visitors two wonderfully spacious one bedroom apartments on the ground floor, two cosy one bedroom apartments on the first floor and two first floor studio apartments. For those whoe really love space and luxury we have "The Townhouse" which is a three bedroom, two bathroom town house style property arranged over three floors. On the lower level is a large family kitchen with direct access onto the gardens, whilst on the floor above is large amounts of living space which is ideal for families who really like to spread themselves out. All apartments have free wifi and use of our communal laundry room. We are delighted to welcome pets in our ground floor apartments and in The Townhouse.
A particular feature of the apartments is their extensive grounds which amount to almost one acre. This means that The Muntham Apartments are truly a peaceful and idyllic place fro a break away by the sea.
The apartments have their own parking and there are enough spaces for all guests.

By Maureen Groppe, Gannett News Service
WASHINGTON A diverse and complex set of factors — including biofuels production, high oil prices, a weak dollar and food consumption rates — are behind the sharply rising cost of food, according to an analysis by Purdue University agricultural economists released Wednesday.
The economists predict food prices will remain high as long as oil prices are also high and the dollar is weak.
"Lower oil and a strong dollar would bring pressure on commodity prices to fall," said economist Wally Tyner, the report's lead author.
He also said the full impact of higher corn and soybean prices haven't shown up in grocery prices yet.
The cost of food has increased 7.5% since last year, according to the most recent government figures available. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says the highest anticipated increases this year are in eggs, dairy and poultry.
The government's explanations for the increases are similar to those identified by Purdue researchers: stronger global demand, increased exports caused by both the stronger demand and weaker dollar, weather-related production problems and the increased use of corn and other food commodities for bioenergy.
The Purdue researchers said the factors are too interrelated to be able to say how much of the price increase is caused by each factor.
But they did breakdown the impact on corn, which has tripled in price since 2004. The analysts estimated that about $1 of the $4 increase in a bushel of corn is due to the U.S. subsidies of the ethanol industry. The rest was caused by the increasing price of oil.
"There's a link today between crude oil and corn that never existed in the past," Tyner said, calling that a "revolution" in global agriculture.
"Even if all the subsidies go away tomorrow, corn prices will still be high unless we choose to ban the use of corn for ethanol," Tyner said.
The biggest pull comes from increased demand for biofuels as gasoline becomes more expensive. That increases the demand for corn, as well as for petroleum-based items including fertilizer and diesel that are used to grow commodities.
And because oil and agricultural commodities are priced in dollars, the declining value of the dollar has made them cheaper for other nations, increasing the demand.
"The link between the U.S. dollar exchange rate and commodity prices is stronger and more important than many other studies imply," said Purdue economist Phil Abbott. "Whatever impacts the dollar will influence food prices."
In addition, the world has been consuming more food than it produced in eight of the last nine years.
The Food and Agricultural Organization, a United Nation's group that addresses hunger, estimates that nearly 40 countries are facing food shortages that require international intervention.
But don't blame such fast-growing countries as China and India, the Purdue analysts say.
"It's countries who trade that set the price," Tyner said. "China and India are agriculturally self-sufficient and largely do not trade agricultural commodities."
But China and India do have a growing appetite for oil, which indirectly increases the price of food.
Because the increased world demand has diminished stocks, weather-related crop disruptions are more significant.
Last year's drought and this year's late planting and flooding will affect commodity prices, according to the report.
In the short term, Tyner, said, the government needs to focus on assistance programs such as subsidized school lunches, which help vulnerable populations while making sure producers are benefiting from the increased prices so they'll keep up production.
Brad Lubben, an agriculture economist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said that before policymakers start debating whether energy policy needs to be changed to lessen the impact on food prices, they should remember that just a few years ago, people were concerned that food was too cheap, leading to over-consumption and obesity.
"Two years ago, agriculture policy was the villain because food was too cheap. Today, agriculture policies are villains because food is too expensive," Lubben said. "It's fair enough to say that every policy we've had has distorted what would otherwise be supply and demand balance in the market place. But it's also worthwhile to note this interesting shift over the last couple of years from a food surplus mentality to a food shortage mentality."

With the assurance of the Americans' promise to free the country, General Aguinaldo, a municipal mayor and the commander of the Philippine forces, declared the Philippine independence on June 12, 1898. He confirmed the establishment of Philippine Republic on January 23, 1899 with himself as president.
The Spanish rule in the islands ended when Spain and the United States signed the treaty of Paris on December 10, 1898. It was an agreement between the two countries to pass the possession of the Philippines to the United States in exchange of $20 million. Not being able to consult the Filipinos, this arrogant settlement resulted to a new resistance and battle for freedom.
By the time the treaty of Paris was ratified, conflict between Filipino forces and Americans had broken out due to strong resistance of the Filipinos against the US sovereignty over the islands and the uncertain grant of independence. Aguinaldo led the revolutionary movement and fought the Americans for two years. His capture in March 1901 ended the resistance and gave the US a clear course on setting out their colonial establishment in the country. William Howard Taft was the one chosen to handle the position of presidency and at the same time as chief justice.
The invasion of the Americans moved the Filipinos to a more unfamiliar authority. English was chosen to be the official language of instruction in businesses and schools, the economy flourished and the country's economy begun relying on the US. Under the supremacy of Governor Taft, systems were regulated in most districts. New government organizations were established along with the general establishments of schools and other related institutions. Construction of roads, highways, and ports were prioritized to consolidate more business all over the country. The Mummy 2017 film download
Despite the growth of industrialization, the Filipinos never gave up their desire for independence. In early 1900's Filipinos were given the opportunity to participate in politics. This gave them the chance to hold positions in the government and express themselves more liberally. It was during the proclamation of Manuel L. Quezon in 1935 as the president of the Philippine Commonwealth under the Tydings-McDuffie Act of 1934 that assured the Filipinos of freedom and self reliance. This act however, didn't fully grant the country of complete autonomy. The US, under what they called the transition period, retained power on national defense and foreign affairs before granting the Philippines its absolute independence. This transition period took ten years more.

Court Justices
Roger Brooke Taney (1777 - 1864)
Roger Brooke Taney (pronounced Taw-nee) was born in Calvert County, Maryland on March 17, 1777. His family consisted of tobacco planters who favored adoption of the Constitution. Because he was the second son in his family, he would not receive the plantation upon his parents' deaths, and so was trained in law. Taney successfully practiced law in Frederick, Maryland, and entered politics in his 20s. He married Anne Key, the niece of Francis Scott Key, in 1806. Until 1821, when Taney left the Maryland Senate, Taney was a Federalist. He then joined the Democratic Party, led by Andrew Jackson. Between 1826-31, Taney was the attorney general for the state of Maryland. He then was appointed Attorney General for the United States, a position he kept for two years. Taney was then given a recess appointment as Secretary of the Treasury, and aided Jackson in removing funds from the Second Bank of the United States, causing it to collapse, as Jackson intended. When the Senate reconvened, it refused to confirm Taney's nomination, and Taney returned to the practice of law in Maryland. After the death of Gabriel Duvall, Jackson nominated Taney to replace him. The Senate rejected the nomination. When John Marshall died in July 1835, Jackson nominated Taney to replace Marshall, and Philip Barbour to replace Duvall. The Senate confirmed both nominations on March 15, 1836 (after the Court's 1836 Term had ended), but no records exist of the debate or vote.
Taney's first great decision was in Charles River Bridge Co. v. Warren Bridge Co. (1837). The case had languished in the Supreme Court for nearly all of the decade. The conflict in the Charles River Bridge litigation was between the contract clause, which protected individual interests against state interference, and the public policy interest in competition. The Charles River Bridge had been given something of a monopoly by the state, which was threatened by the building of the Warren Bridge nearby. Taney, for the Court, held that the vested rights of the individuals did not extend so far as to grant them implicit monopolies. Therefore, the state had not violated the contract clause in chartering a corporation that built a competitor to the Charles River Bridge. Taney in general was less nationalistic that Marshall or Joseph Story. He favored a dual sovereignty that permitted the states to regulate the economy as long as doing so did not infringe on federal powers.
Taney is best remembered for his decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), decided only days after the inauguration of President James Buchanan. For only the second time in American history, an act of Congress was held unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Taney first concluded that the Court lacked jurisdiction to hear the case because Dred Scott was not a citizen of the United States. In dicta, Taney continued, Scott remained a slave. Scott's owner had taken Scott to the free state of Illinois and the free territory of Minnesota, and under the doctrine of "once free, always free," once a slave was voluntarily taken by his owner to free territory, that slave became a free person. Taney rejected this doctrine, and concluded that when Congress declared slavery impermissible north of a line of 36 degrees, 30 minutes latitude (Missouri excepted), it acted beyond its constitutional power. Thus, the Missouri Compromise of 1820 was unconstitutional. Instead of settling the issue of slavery, Dred Scott merely caused slavery to take precedence over all other political issues. One of the two dissenters, Benjamin Curtis, was so angered by the opinion of the majority that he resigned from the Court.
Taney lived for another seven years, and died at 87. He was Chief Justice for 28 years, and the combined service of Marshall and Taney had taken the Supreme Court through the first two-thirds of the 19th century. Taney was the first Roman Catholic to be named a Justice of the Supreme Court. The painting of Taney shown above is from late in his life, after Dred Scott was decided.Further reading: James F.

"Experts say you should never hit your children in anger. When is a good time? When you're feeling festive?

Director of Rugby Ruddock revealed he is pleased to have his coaching set-up now cemented down as he looks to take the club forward in the Guinness Premiership.
"I'm a big fan of what Leicester have done, not only on the field over a number of years but also off it," said Ruddock.
"They are not afraid to promote their best ex-players to coaching positions. We have seen Dean Richards have a huge amount of success with them, we saw people like Pat Howard, John Wells, who went on to coach England, and now Richard Cockerill who is doing well.
"I'm a big fan of that ethos. It breeds a winning mentality and a mindset that you care about the club because it is one you have played for.
"With Tony Windo and Matt Powell on board as well, it is fantastic for us and big development.
"Now Billy has signed a new deal we have a very settled look behind the scenes and that is important to take us forward."

Thor: The Dark World Rules The US Box Office
Ender's Game hammered down to fifth place
He may not quite have the pulling power of Iron Man, but Tony Stark's Avengers pal Thor has certainly demonstrated his box office mettle. Following a successful launch here and in other international markets, Thor: The Dark World has opened in the US to an estimated $86.1 million.
No studio was foolish enough to challenge the God of Thunder for his release date, so the rest of the chart is mostly a shuffling of closely-stacked players. Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa held in second place, earning $11.3 million, ahead of Free Birds, which actually managed to rise up one place to third with $11.2 million, presumably helped by the approach of Thanksgiving, which suits its turkey theme. It swapped places with Last Vegas, which fell to fourth and $11.1 million. Rounding out the top five was last week's champ Ender's Game, which appears to be suffering from a combo of new competition from Asgard's top warrior and negative word of mouth, slipping four places and taking home $10.2 million.
Gravity fell one place to sixth, drawing in $8.4 million, while 12 Years A Slave stayed strong in seventh with $6.6 million. Captain Phillips was eighth, taking home $5.8 million, ahead of In Time at ninth ($5.1 million) and Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 in 10th place ($2.8 million).

Debbie will be missed and remembered
Debbie Shanniak passed away Monday, March 31, from ovarian cancer. She was a part of Colton High Schools maintenance staff, but more than that she was an important part of the school day for many students. On any day, there might be three or four high-school students joining her for lunch and a timid young man confiding in her for just a second or a star football player, stopping to share a successful game moment.
Debbie had a way to help, to be a confidant, but not enable the students. There was that one young man who was forever misplacing items; Debbiewho knew whose gym shoes, notebook, phone were sitting in the middle of the hallway or left on the bleacherswould gather them up, not wanting anything to be permanently lost, and take them to the school office. It was then up to the student to take the proper steps, including actually going to the office, to retrieve the personal inventory. Debbie was a listener, an encourager. She wanted to see students become a part of and enjoy their school years at Colton.
I am going to share one of many more stories:
I had stopped by CHS to do a column about an upcoming school project. Principal Tom Crane gave the pertinent information. He had just said, Let me get a student in here to tell you more, when a girl from the junior class walked into the office. Mr. Crane introduced us. I could see the panic in the students eyes, the how do I get out of this look. But she did it and she did a great job explaining the project data and scenario. During the conversation she indicated that she was someone who did not mingle, that she felt a little intimidated by the crush of students. As we were finishing up our conversation, the lunch bell rang. I asked her if she needed to leave for lunch.
I usually eat with Debbie, and it will be okay if I get there late, she said.
Debbie was her constant, her anchor in the school. .
The next school year, while taking pictures of the drama club production, there on stage, with a speaking part, was that same girl, and in the audience were Mr. and Mrs. Shanniak, not just for the one student, but to support them all.
Debbie will be missed and she will be remembered. I hope all of us can find the time on a daily basis to see and encourage the beauty and worth in everyone. May we all be a part of Debbies legacy.
A memorial service will be held to honor Debbie Shanniak on Saturday, April 12, at 11 a.m. The service, followed by a reception, will be held in the Colton High School.
Upcoming events
On Wednesday, April 16, Colton School District Superintendent Linda Johnson will host a community meeting. The agenda will be the 2014-15 school budget. The meeting will be held in the commons of the Colton Middle School, beginning at 7 p.m.
On Thursday, April 17, the annual member meeting of Coltontel will be held at Colton Middle School. A Coltontel Member Hour will be held from 6-7 p.m., followed by the annual meeting.
On Saturday, April 19, the annual Easter egg hunt will be held in the fields behind Colton Elementary School. The fun event begins at 10 a.m. and is for children up to the fifth grade.

So far - that ceiling part abow driver and passanger I've started to remove from roof window...everything went smoothly, but in the middle there are clips or something..and I got stuck...
As for the lamps above rear seats..I've no idea, how to even begin with
But I've managed to make list of led's I'll need:
glove compartment: 1x T10 *
ceiling front: 3x 12V6W T10
ceiling back: 2x 12V6W T10
mirrors lightning: 4x 12V2,3W T5
footwell: 2x W5W T10 *
doors: 4x T10 *
trunk: 1x 43mm sulfit
About the trunk - I dont know why, but my F10 has only light in trunk...
voMack, I did a complete LED conversion of all my interior lights on my F07. My front ceiling lights, between the front driver and passenger seats looks similar to yours. BEWARE. I tried to remove the housing to get to the original bulb and broke the clips. Took the car to the dealership the next day and they were nice enough to replace the console front bulbs and the rear bulbs. It cost me $30 but that was because the tech had to glue the broken clips and wait for drying.
Might want to consider getting a T10 LED strip for the footwell. Provides way more light than just the LED bulb.
I posted my pics of my complete LED conversion on the F07 forum...although the thread is several months old now.
Good luck!!
