In order to move something that is hard - like a large stone - you require forceful means, and if the rock is very large and resistant to your best efforts, you bring in explosives. However, if you are trying to move something soft – like a nest of birds - you will use care and delicacy in order to keep it intact. Hard things are treated totally different than soft things, and so it is with hearts. In this age of tolerance, people can get very upset by a God who presents himself as judgemental or disciplinary. But let us not forget, God IS the ultimate judge since he knows what is in our hearts, and in order to develop character, you must have discipline (not punishment which is punitive, but discipline which seeks to teach a better way). It is in our best interests to have consequences for our behaviour, be they good or bad. The same leniency and grace that would cause a soft-hearted person to weep when confronted with their wrongs would also cause a hard-hearted person to assume that they can get away with even worse behaviour.
And that is why God sent plagues. Asking nicely just wasn't working. So the question I ask myself is, what plagues me in my life? What is something that beleaguers me over and over again, making my life unpleasant, never seeming to leave me alone? This might in fact be an area that I have a hard heart in. Is there a certain type of person that just appears in my life and won't leave me alone? Does the same annoying circumstance seem to happen over and over again? Every time I attempt a certain task or project, does it always backfire? What things irritate me to the point of frustration? These are my plagues and I want to be free from them.
Goodbye, hard heart.

does this look like rescue to you?
I have sometimes been told by well-meaning Christians that what I am doing 'looks' like something that is associated with some form of ungodliness, at least in their mind, and I can tell they are uncomfortable with the whole thing. What the heck am I supposed to do with that skewed bit of information? Basically, they are admitting that they have a perception problem and they would prefer if I changed my behaviour so that they don't have to adjust their limited outlook to more closely reflect the truth. Sorry, my low tolerance for small-mindedness is coming through here, mostly because I struggle with the same thing myself. Okay then. We will all encounter things that make us uncomfortable in our lives; situations that we would rather not be in because they are not conveniently resolving themselves as they would in a neatly written 156-page work of light inspirational fiction (I have nothing against this form of writing, I have done some of it myself, but it hardly portrays truth in all its bloody and painful dimensions).
Why does a raised voice make me uncomfortable? Because in my household, that was never done – it was considered a sign of uncontrolled anger and aggression. So I assumed that anywhere I heard raised voices, someone was sure to die or be horribly maimed. Then I encountered my husband's family where yelling was just part of getting heard at the dinner table and oddly enough, no one ever lost an arm or an eye or even held a grudge. I have adjusted my perception accordingly and on occasion, will even participate in a heated discussion in that household, raised voice and all.
I believe that as God continues to reveal himself to me, I will continuously have to readjust my perception. What looks like injustice may in fact be an extension of mercy. What looks like death, may turn out to give life. What looks like a mentally unstable, unkempt, rebellious, religious cult fanatic with an anger problem may turn out to be John the Baptist. What appears to be increased bondage might be the first step to the greatest rescue operation ever (go Moses!). What it looks like is hardly relevant. What matters is what it IS and what it is on the way to becoming, and in order to ascertain this, I will have to dig a little deeper, do a little more research, ask God what he is up to, be a little less quick to judge, exercise faith instead of sight, and get to know people's hearts. Let me see with wiser eyes.

Getting Younger
"Some people are always excusing themselves for their looks, etc. So I said, 'We are created by God, made in His image and then we look in the mirror and say, I don't like it. Where does that come from?…' The way I see it, the growing older, balding, greying, etc., it was all in God's plan. Besides, the fountain of youth that we would all covet for our bodies is not as important as our character that we build by allowing the Holy Spirit to minister to us the Fruits of the Spirit."
One of my main gripes about our current society is how we have made staying young more valuable than growing old. Now there are certain things that I deem are worth fighting against as we grow older, and they include the loss of such things as strength, vitality, flexibility, bone mass, general good health, a sense of adventure and a willingness to learn. But I will not fight against the maturing process, it is indeed something that is built into the very nature of being human.
Most people have a desire for a taste of the eternal, a dissatisfaction with the temporal nature of this life, and one of the ways this manifests itself is by people trying to feel and look younger than they really are. I caught a glimpse of a television show today called Ten Years Younger that gave people a makeover to help them achieve the illusion of youth. Why would anyone want to look ten years younger? What's the point? I am 44 years old. People tell me I look much younger than that, at least from the back (haha), but in my opinion, I look exactly like a 44 year-old because it is how old I am. I define my age - my age does not define me. I have determined to take good care of this body, mind and spirit that God has given me, for I believe them to be priceless gifts, but I will most likely get old and die (Enoch being the one exception to that rule that I am aware of, so one can always hope). The sting of death has indeed been overcome through the life and death and resurrection of Jesus, and I am a partaker in the eternal life God offers, but the definition of this (eternal life) is to know Jesus, not to live in my body forever. If all the energy and resources our society spends on looking younger were spent on getting to know God – wow! Just stop and picture that world for a minute.
Thanks for the encouragement today, mother. I am blessed.

I found this story strangely encouraging, because most of my life seems to be spent walking around. I would love to be thrust from one thrilling adventure to another, leap from one success story to the next, have one vision after another fulfilled, but alas, many of my days are spent plodding along. One foot in front of the other, one word at a time, one conversation following another, one sit-up at a time, day after day of eating, cleaning, working, laughing, loving and encountering people in everyday life. The immediate progress is not visible in any measurable or significant way, but that is the thing about foundations – they take time to build. There is always a guaranteed reward to faithfulness, but how many times do I miss it because I can't see results after the fourth year, get discouraged, and stop walking? The children of Israel who were walking around the walls of Jericho could have stopped at the sixth circuit around the city and gone home defeated. After all, what did they really have to show for their efforts except a well-worn trail and a lot of dust? I have now lived in Quebec for 6 years, and much of that time has been spent walking, living, listening, learning. Nothing earth-shattering. But I can feel a subtle change, mostly in my attitude, towards the people that surround me. I identify with them more, I understand them better, and I no longer feel like an outsider. These six years have planted me here and now I am beginning to see the fruit of walking in a strange land. The walls between us are starting to come down. I am now a Quebecer, not simply a visitor.
Walking is important. Not every step is the one that puts you over the finish line, but without each and every step, one would never get there. Sometimes I get into that restrictive somewhat utilitarian mindset where everything must have immediate results or measurable and obvious spiritual goals before I consider it worth doing. This is a very narrow view of life because it supposes that I am the one to judge the end, that I can in fact see where things are leading and how they will turn out, that I know which things have lasting value and which things are a waste of time. Worst of all, it presumes that life is a story about me. It is not. It is a story about God, a loving father who calls his kids to walk towards him, even when they don't see the end of the road.
Wednesday, August 03, 2005
I don't like asking for things. People say men don't like asking for directions. I don't either, and I am not a man. I would much rather figure things out for myself, complete a project knowing that I did it myself, or prove that I can learn something new or do something I never did before by not giving up, or at least not asking someone else to assist me. There is some merit to this dogged determination, but most days I would have to say I probably don't like giving someone any power over me: the power to say NO and thereby reject me or some part of my life by refusing my request, the power to take part of the credit and satisfaction for something I might have accomplished on my own. And most of all, I don't like to be needy, weak, or helpless in some way; it makes me feel stupid.
This means that I also ask God for very little, at least specifically. I ask for great and vague things such as wisdom, truth, courage, strength, protection, direction, love, purity, forgiveness…you get the picture. Today I was reminded of the verse "you have not because you ask not." Now that sounds pretty simple until you look at the context: "You lust for what you don't have and are willing to kill to get it. You want what isn't yours and will risk violence to get your hands on it. You wouldn't think of just asking God for it, would you? And why not? Because you know you'd be asking for what you have no right to. You're spoiled children, each wanting your own way." (James 4:2-3 The Message)
Yikes! Could part of the reason I don't ask God for much be because I don't trust my own heart? Some part of me really believes that most of my requests, when they are stripped to the bare root, will be basically selfish or inappropriate, so as a safety precaution, I ask for nothing other than something that I know is already approved, like the spiritual fruit list. Now what kind of a relationship is that? I don't REALLY say and think and feel and ask for the things that are on my heart, I don't be myself - whether I am having a bad day or a good one - but instead, I censor my words and desires in order to please this God who has already said that his love is unconditional, that he will never leave me, and that he wants to get close to me, the real me, the whole me. I hate to be disappointed – don't we all, but the least I could do is ASK for something – something unique to Matte, something interesting and exciting and big and more important to me than I even care or dare to admit.
'And what he gives in love is far better than anything else you'll find. It's common knowledge that "God goes against the willful proud; God gives grace to the willing humble."' (James 4:6 The Message).
Let me come as a child, flushed with excitement, perhaps unkempt and dirty from play or work or a fight with my peers, but let me come with big ideas in my head and wild dreams flashing in my eyes – those things that God has planted in no other person but me. He is waiting to hear me ask for them…

7 Year Old 20 Miles
June 22, 2011 by staff
7 Year Old 20 Miles, I wish someone had been there for a closeup of Michigan police, who chased a car driven erratically for 20 miles only to find that seven years a barefoot boy in pajamas was behind the wheel. Can you imagine? I did not know whether to laugh or mourn. But the details of the story made me a little lump in my throat: Child "stole" her stepfather's car and took off because he wanted to see his biological father. Awwww. Barefoot and in pajamas, no less! This definitely was not a premeditated act. If you're wondering what I'm imagining the scenario in your head hits something like this: "I hate not having to listen to you, you is not my real father!" Child runs out of space; take the car keys, and slips out the back door.
Not that the boy's stepfather is a bad person or anything; I do not know the man. But as a divorced mother, this story makes me grateful that my kids have a great relationship with his father and see him every week, whenever they want. Of course, they have a hangnail, and though they did, they would probably tell you to walk, if I did anything for my son wants to run. (Maybe that's why they have a stepfather? Hmmm.)
In any case, the back story here has little to do with what I consider to be the most shocking part of the story: a child of 7 years old, was savvy enough to drive a car at 20 miles by itself. How did he even reach the gas pedal? I'm impressed (not that I should be, but I am). At the time I got my license, I was still having trouble backing out of the driveway without scraping against the side of our house, so this guy seems seriously advanced.

Firefighters In West Sussex To Have Animal Oxygen Masks
All fire engines in West Sussex will now carry oxygen masks for our pets caught up in house fires.
The Archbishop of Canterbury was given a rock star-style welcome as he took part in his final leg of his pilgrimage around five English cities before his enthronement as leader of the Church of England.
Traffic was brought to a standstill as more than 3,000 people gathered in the centre of Chichester, West Sussex, to greet the Most Rev Justin Welby.
Church officials said the numbers seen in the cathedral city were far higher than in the four other cities he has visited in the past six days: Norwich, Coventry, Truro and London.
The Archbishop chose to miss the papal inauguration of Pope Francis in Rome to join in a "journey in prayer'' ahead of his enthronement as leader of the Anglican church at Canterbury Cathedral on Thursday.
Asked why he chose West Sussex over the Vatican, he said: "Because I promised to come and it's really important to be here as this is the run-up to my own installation on Thursday
"It's just a treat to be here.''
He started off his visit by greeting the crowd in Market Cross, causing buses and other traffic to halt, before winding his way through the throng to Chichester Cathedral.
The Diocese of Chichester has been at the centre of allegations of historic child abuse, and an inquiry was set up examining its child safeguarding issues.
Last month, the Archbishop issued a statement apologising for the "betrayals and failings'' that occurred following the jailing for eight years of retired priest Robert Coles, 71.
Coles, of Eastbourne, East Sussex, admitted buggery and four indecent assaults on one victim and three indecent assaults against two other boys dating back to the 1970s.
Today the Archbishop said the diocese was in the midst of a "new era'' under the Bishop of Chichester, Dr Martin Warner, as he was questioned on the biggest challenges facing the diocese.
He said: "I think what it requires is total honesty and transparency and absolute acknowledgement of the harm that has been done, and a real self-awareness that enables us to change dramatically.
"I think all these are being shown by Bishop Martin. Bishop Martin and the team are coming together effectively and under his leadership I think we are seeing a completely new era in the life of the diocese.''
Asked how he was feeling about his enthronement, he added: "I'm not nervous. I'm very conscious it's going to be a very big day but it's exciting.''
Members of the public joined the Archbishop in the 900-year-old Chichester Cathedral for prayers.
Lambeth Palace has said the pilgrimage was aimed at highlighting the spiritual role of the Archbishop and the importance of prayer in Christian life.
The Most Rev Welby has led similar pilgrimages before becoming Bishop of Durham, his last role, and in his previous post of Dean of Liverpool.
The Venerable Roger Combes, the Archdeacon of Horsham, said: "This is a sign of hope and shows that people are interested and keen to see the Archbishop. It's an encouragement of his appointment.''
The Reverend Helen Dawes, the Archbishop's deputy secretary for public affairs, said: "It's absolutely wonderful to see the sheer number of people and the enthusiasm that they are all sharing in God's graciousness.''
All fire engines in West Sussex will now carry oxygen masks for our pets caught up in house fires.

336 pages, Col plates, figs, tabs
Situated on the western margin of Europe, Wales has been moulded by the erosional and depositional power of its fresh waters by virtue of high rainfall interacting with extensive regions of bedrock and post- Ice Age glacial debris. The result is a still evolving landscape rich in upland bogs, springs, mountain streams and lakes, rivers running through deeply eroded valleys, and large, lowland rivers meandering across wide floodplains into estuaries and the sea - as Professor Brian Moss says in his preface to the book: "When it comes to freshwaters, the Celts have the best of it."
Subsequent chapters bring together, for the first time, the combined expertise of a group of scientists whose intimate and collective knowledge of the Welsh aquatic landscape is unparalleled. The authors begin by describing the knowledge base of these important habitats, emphasising the structure and role of their plant, animal, and microbial communities. Upon this are built chapters that review the pioneering role of Welsh river studies in the development of running water science and, very poignantly, assess the high degree of human alteration of the principality's riverine ecosystems. These are followed by chapters that discuss the need for further scientific study, management, conservation, restoration and education so that future impacts on Welsh waters may be understood and minimised.
Throughout the book flows the underlying theme that there has been and always will be a close link between water resources and the development of Welsh society. The book is data-rich, very well illustrated, and contains a bibliography of over 1,100 references to the scientific literature.
Surprisingly, it seems, this is the first book that sets out to gather together all of the information available on the scientific study and conservation of running-water habitats in Wales and to communicate it to a wider audience beyond just freshwater scientists. However, The Rivers of Wales is not just a descriptive account of the biological and physical character of Welsh rivers; an underlying theme throughout the book is that there always has been and always will be a strong link between water resources and the development of Welsh society.... The relevance of this book goes well beyond the borders of Wales and it could just as rightly be regarded as a text book in lotic science with a profound sense of place, as it can a book about Welsh rivers. There is an urgent need to inspire a new generation of freshwater scientists and I am sure that in years to come young freshwater scientists will cite this book as their inspiration. David Bradley, FBA News. "This is not a textbook of freshwater biology, although it includes detail and example which is valuable to freshwater ecologists. Nor is it just a celebration of Welsh rivers. It is a combination of good science with enthusiasm and celebration, which makes it an enjoyable and thought-provoking read..... This is a book which I have enjoyed and shall keep and refer to later....an attractive and interesting read. " Mark Young, Bulletin of the British Ecological Society, December 2009.

The Second Half by Hunter Davies (Pomona, £9.99, 299 pp.)
The period from 2003 to today has been one of the most eventful passages in English football. Foreign plutocrats such as Abramovich and Glazer took ownership of our leading clubs, the England manager was slowly reduced to a figure of fun and 20-year-old Wayne Rooney was awarded a £5m book deal. Over this period, Hunter Davies has been charged with explaining these developments to New Statesman readers. This collection reminds us that chief among the qualities needed by a fan is a sense of humour.
Tom Wood
Wisden Anthology 1978-2006 ed. by Stephen Moss (John Wisden, £40, 720 pp.)
Wisden has always been a cricket thinktank. Here, using essays, scorecards and trivia from 28 years of Almanacks, editor Stephen Moss charts the modern game, beginning with the Packer years, and in the process creates a textbook of cricket's commercial and cultural revolution. His judicious selections, intelligently introduced, remind you what a fine trove of prose those yellow bookends on your shelf contain.
Emma John
Manly Pursuits by Richard Beard (Yellow Jersey, £11.99, 240 pp.)
How is it that Australia, the 53rd most populated country in the world and the one responsible for Neighbours, can become one of sport's most successful nations? This is the question at the heart of Richard Beard's book as his sense of athletic inferiority leads him to travel to the Sydney suburb of Manly to examine what makes Australians so competitive. What follows is a series of sporting duels of contrasting success and intensity as Beard struggles to defend English sporting honour.

First I really like how shell shock everyone is in finding out Sherlock has a mother. Second I love her. What a classy way to express herself. Finally someone saying something to Donovan and how Lestrade has no control over his subordinates. She really should be punished. Thank gods she hasn't met Anderson yet. I really want to read on. Do you have this fic completely on some other site? Hopefully an update for 2016.

| Erin chapter 4 . 3/22/2014
Is there a continuation to this story? Or am I just not seeing it? It's REALLY GOOD and I REALLY WANNA READ MORE! :) You are extremely talented and should be very proud of yourself and of your writing talents. :)

I love the way you wrote Sherlock's mother. Especially since she brings up quite some things I've been wanting to yell at Donovan myself. Too bad I can't step into the tv. :P Anyway, I like the case too and I really hope that this won't be the end of it. :)
| VeIra-Girl chapter 4 . 1/12/2012
Like your style of writing, it's seems like a good story, keep a good work!
| the stargate time traveller chapter 4 . 1/5/2012
The mystery's certainly interesting, and its taking shape. How long will it take for the finer details of the killer's motives come to light?
Sherlocks' right when he says the police are idiots. I agree that the man could have a bit more tact when he deals with the police, but to insult the man with his mother nearby is beyond stupid. Will there be any more confrontations between Donovan and Sherlocks mother? I can certainly see it, but it would be interesting to see what she does. Donovan's too prideful, and arrogant - I say arrogant because she thinks that because she's a policewoman that means she's safe. I'd like to see her taken down a few pegs by the woman she insulted.
Rowena does have a point, Lestrade knows that Anderson and Donovan, and probably others, have...issues with people like Sherlock, and yet the good DI does nothing about it, but the blow about Scotland Yard must've hit the DI more than punch in the gut.
Donovan's part in the story...what will it be now, or will Lestrade ignore Rowena's opinion about her part in the case, tiny as it seems, and let Donovan stay on?
| Jacqs chapter 4 . 1/2/2012
Interesting, looking forward to more interaction between Sherlock, his mother and John.

CLIFTON – Clark Lewis Sands Sr., 76, left this earth peacefully at home Jan. 8, 2014, to spend eternity with his Heavenly Father. He was born April 11, 1937, in Caribou, the son of Rufus and Evelyn (Wardwell) Sands.
He was the 12th child of 19 and grew up knowing the meaning of hard work. Clark served in the U.S. Air Force for 10 years and was a carpenter by trade. He took great pride in his workmanship. He was actually a Jack of all trades, never sitting still and always working on a project. He loved tending a large garden and even in his later years was able to find a way to grow tomatoes and cucumbers. Clark married his loving wife, Joan in 1990 and they spent many happy years together. His family will always remember his loving, kind, and patient ways and the times he would sing and play his guitar.
He is survived by his wife, Joan; six sons, Dennis of Bangor, Randy of Holden, Clark Jr. and wife, Debra, of Bangor, Todd of Newburgh, Troy of Kenduskeag, and Jeff and wife, Doreen, of Carmel; one daughter, Penny Theriault of Old Town; one stepson, Danny Copeland of Brewer; two stepdaughters, Lisa Tardiff and husband, Mike, of Eddington, and Denise Long and husband, Kevin, of Brewer; several grandchildren, stepgrandchildren and great-grandchildren; eight siblings and many nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents and ten siblings, Clark was predeceased by his first daughter, Laurie Sands.
A Service of Remembrance will be held noon Monday, Jan. 13, at Messiah Baptist Church, 985 Union St., Bangor, with the Rev. Herman Franklin officiating. Friends may call 11 a.m. until time of the service. A graveside service will be conducted in the spring at Waugh Cemetary, Levant.

"Erin said the staff did a great job."
Review for Momentum BMW Body Shop
Terry H. on 03/11/2013
Terry said the repair went smooth and fast. He noted it took him 72 minutes to pick up his rental vehicle. He added there wasn't a vehicle available for him because the insurance company set up the pick up for the date he was there and the business had him in the system for another day. He noted that particular part of the business is ran by 1 person who handles the pick up, drop offs, deliveries and all the customers. He stated he feels like that is too much work for 1 person to handle. It took her 72 minutes to handle 2 customers and that is too long.

Email Marketing is one marketing tool available for you to grow your business. However, without a plan, you may not be able to truly maximize its effectiveness.
First, figure out exact goals for your email marketing campaign. If it is to increase sales, then your emails should focus on coupons and special deals. If you want to grow your subscribers, provide innovative information.
After you have clear goals, you can customize the newsletter to meet your goal. Maybe you will send weekly deals along with a once-a-month informational email. The content for your emails should be focused on your very specific target audience.
The design of your email campaign is just as important as the content. An unappealing design with useful content will not get noticed by your subscribers. The emails should match the branding of your company.

Episode Title: Reconcilable Differences
Season 05, Episode 16
Episode 091 of 344
Written by Richard Gollance
Directed by Sheldon Larry
Original Airdate: Thursday, January 12th, 1984
The Plot (Courtesy of TV.Com): Abby and Westmont scramble to get Apolune off of real estate documents. The audit goes well and Gary apologizes to Abby. Gary sees that Cathy makes much more than the other ranch hands, and that they are dated from before he met her. Gary hires a detective who says Cathy spent the last four years in prison. Ben and Mack discover that Apolune owns all the property at Lotus Point except for Abby and Karen's apartment. They think Apolune is a front for Wolfbridge. Greg and Laura sleep together. Karen suffers from withdrawal. Gary goes to see her and says if he could get through it, she can. Karen is outraged that he would compare her plight with his alcoholism. Karen finally opens up in group. Karen's therapist wants Mack in on her therapy too. Mack feels they're ganging up on him. Ben tells Val to tell people that the baby is Gary's, as he's tired of everyone bugging him about it, and he wants to be free of her.
Welcome back. Lately, I've started to become fond of providing some context for how many episodes and what particular episodes My Beloved Grammy and I watch in a given visit. We've reached a very comfortable spot that should last for many, many years where each disk has five episodes on it. As far as I can recall, it stays this way until the series ends, with the only exceptions being the last couple of episodes in a season that has an episode count not divisible by five. But, for now, we've got season five, which has 25 episodes, and then seasons six, seven, and eight all have 30 episodes each. So, for a long time into the future, we shall always watch five eps per visit, and I like it that way. It's not just the fact that I want to watch KL and that five episodes makes me happy, but I feel there's something about that number that just works. If we watched more than that, I think I would struggle to remember all the proceedings and exciting events, and if we watched less than that, I feel I would leave less satisfied. In any case, Reconcilable Differences marked the first of five eps we watched upon our last visit, spanning through High Ideals. So just know that this was our first one and it brought us back into the world of KL and I had my big beer and some spicy chicken teriyaki while starting it up and was all ready for a night of excitement and joy on the cul-de-sac.
Karen's pill problem has been escalating and we've been spending a lot of time on it for the last batch of episodes. It spanned all the way through our last disk and I believe the first inklings of her starting to take too many pills was introduced on the disk before, so that's something like ten or twelve episodes altogether. I feel like the main thing Reconcilable Differences wants to do is sorta finish up this storyline so that we can move on to new business and, much like the way they handled the demise of Chip Roberts a few episodes back, I feel the timing is pretty much perfect, because if this stretched on much longer, it would run the risk of becoming tiresome. The writers always seem to be good about knowing when it's time to get a storyline finished up. Even so, I confess I might have some, GASP, criticisms about this episode and the way it handled the Karen storyline. Read on.
See, we open on Mack and Karen in her little rehab hospital, sitting in her room, and Mack is rocking a fabulous leather jacket that he keeps around for, I think, the rest of the season and maybe even some seasons more. Seriously, he looks like Fonzie, kinda ridiculous, but I love Mack so I'm not criticizing. I also feel sorry for Mack at this juncture because, with nearly a year of marriage to Karen under his belt, things just don't seem to be going his way. However, the title of the episode gives me hope; can Mack and Karen figure out their reconcilable differences and manage to move on? Let's find out.
Karen looks in better condition at the start of this episode than she has in the last few weeks, but it doesn't take long for us to see that she's still dealing with a problem. Early in the episode we see her begging a nurse for some pills to take the edge off, insisting that she only needs one. In fact, she even goes so far as to say that she'll pay the nurse for them (fifty dollars!), but the nurse has ethics and remains strong in them, refusing to give Karen anything at all. Karen's timing is bad, by the way, because at that precise moment that she starts offering money to the nurse, Eric comes into the room to visit her, and there's an uncomfortable quiet moment where Karen seems to realize someone's watching this display of obvious addiction and then turns slowly around to face her son. However, one thing I appreciated is that this doesn't explode into some big drama; instead they awkwardly hug and start to exchange chit chat about how things are going. We all know that Eric saw this and we know that Karen knows he saw it, but much like real life, the two just proceed along and sorta try to ignore that anything happened, and it has that fabulously awkward ring of truth to it. A solid little scene.
I'm not so sure about another scene that comes just a few minutes later. In it, Karen is lying in the hospital bed, draped in creepy gothic shadow, thrashing around wildly and screaming and clearly just not having a good time at all. The music is fantastically frightening and coming straight out of a horror movie, and then Karen jumps up and screams and continues her thrashing while a nurse comes in to make sure everything is all right. We get the sense that Karen's withdrawal is making her crazy in more ways than one, that she is becoming confused about what precisely is going on in her life and where she is, because she starts screaming, "Where is my daughter?! Where have you taken her?!" I guess she's also wondering why Claudia Lonow continues to be shown in the scrolling squares at the head of the episodes when she has sat out now four episodes in a row (spoiler alert: She'll be back in the next one), but anyway, that's what she's screaming.
We get some intense close-ups of Karen's anguished face, her eyes getting all big and wild, her mouth stretching out. It's not a bad scene, but I guess I feel it's maybe a little….much? I mean, hell, maybe I'm wrong. I've lived a very blessed life and have never suffered from addiction and have never had anyone close to me suffer from addiction, so I've never had to go to a rehab center and see someone going through a detox. For all I know, it could be as extreme as this or even more, but there's just something about the scene that felt a little over-the-top to me. Is it my beloved Michele? Mmmm, maybe. After giving her criticism for getting a little hammy at the start of the season, I then felt she was improving nicely and was quite impressive during our last batch of eps as she dealt with the onslaught of her pill addiction, but now I think she's back to being a bit too much. Make no mistake, I still love her and always will (and yes, she's still my favorite character on the series), but I just feel this scene isn't quite as good as it could be.
Next up is a visit from Gary. This scene moved me and touched me and made me feel very sad all at once, because Gary is coming to Karen as a friend and as someone who understands her, but my sphincter tightened up as the scene started because I knew, I just knew that Karen would be unwilling to listen to him and unable to handle the fact that her addictions are the same as his addictions and I didn't want to watch her be hurtful to Gary, who is shaping up into quite a man this year and is coming to be her supporter. Things unfolded as I expected them to, because he starts to tell stories about how, when he was drinking, no matter what was going on in his life, the only thing he cared about was finding that next drink. Karen flips out and screams about how she is not like him, saying, "You are a drunk!" and she says it with such venom, as if it makes Gary less than human, and it was all rather painful to watch. Unlike the last scene, which I was kinda complaining about, I'm complimenting this scene. These are complex characters; they are neither black nor white and they are not only allowed to be consistently great people or consistently bad people. At her core, Karen is a good person, but she's got herself into a bad situation and it's making her be ugly and nasty to the people who love her. One thing that I found especially moving in the scene was that Gary does not get upset; he just calmly gets up and leaves the rehab center. Watching this, I realized it's because Gary knows where she's coming from and that, really, it's not Karen that's yelling at him, it's her addictions.
Let's take a break from Karen for a minute to discuss Gary and what he's up to this episode. Well, for one thing, he finds out that Val is pregnant, thanks to an even-less-discreet-than-usual Lilimae, who runs into him in the hallway of the rehab center. Rather than exchanging superfluous pleasantries and then going about her business, Lilimae sorta follows after Gary and is like, "Val is dating Ben Gibson and he's super duper nice and really sexy and he fucks Val good and Val says his wiener is bigger than yours, so what do you think of that?" Gary just sorta nods and accepts this bizarre and awkward bit of conversation from Lilimae, who then just flat out states, "And Val is pregnant with Ben's baby." Hmmm, didn't Val ask her just a few episodes ago not to tell anybody about this? Of course, after that Lilimae immediately ran to Ben's Plant House to give him fatty foods and talk about the pregnancy, but I'm willing to forgive that one because I think she just assumed he already knew about it. With Gary, though, it's different, and really rather tactless of Lilimae (who I still love, don't get me wrong) to just go on and blurt out this private information that Val asked her to keep secret, although I suppose it's possible that there was some offscreen scene between Val and Lilimae in which she gave her mama permission to tell people, though that seems highly unlikely to me at this point.
Remember how in our last ep, Gary announced that he was going to do an audit on Gary Ewing Enterprises? Well, thanks to some clever finagling that I'm still not quite sure I understand, Abs manages to transfer money from somewhere or something like that and make the books balance okay so that, when the auditor comes, they pass just fine. The only problem, however, is that after the audit Gary notices that Cathy is getting paid way more per month than she's supposed to (I think he says something like a thousand a month, though I could be mistaken). The plot thickens when he is told that she is being paid by Abs, not by him, and the plot thickens ever more when he learns that Cathy has been receiving these checks since before he ever met her on that fateful honeymoon night in the hotel suite. Now that he's a wise and sober man, Gary starts to go to work getting to bottom of this little mystery for himself.
Gary is very clever here and both My Beloved Grammy and I are very pleased to see him climbing out of that awful bender from last season and becoming not just clearheaded, but pretty sharp, too. See, he's talking to Abs a little later and he just casually mentions how he's thinking of firing Cathy, just testing to see how Abs will react. Naturally, rather than being like, "Sure, fire her, whatever, I don't care," which is what Abs would probably really say if this mysterious Ciji doppelganger showed up in Gary's life for no clear reason and became the object of his obsessions, Abs gets all protective of Cathy and is like, "But Gary, you said yourself that she's one of the best workers and I think you should keep her!" After this little bit of defense, Gary starts to see what's going on here.
The last interesting Cathy revelation within this episode comes when Gary goes to visit some private investigator guy he had hired to do some snooping. The investigator tells Gary that Cathy's last known residence was not a house or an apartment, but rather, oh my God, a prison. Now what on earth can this mean? What was Cathy doing in a prison? In addition to that, the prison is nowhere near the area Cathy claims to have come from (I think she claims to have come from Wisconsin or something and the prison is in Arkansas, or maybe it's flipped around the other way, or maybe I'm wrong about both places). Anyway, the basic gist of it is that Gary is starting to realize Cathy has been lying to him about a ton of things, but why?
How about things on the Val/Ben front? Well, they're still not seeing each other at the moment, but currently only Mack and Ben know the real reason, that Val is carrying Gary's love-child/children. This is making life hard for Val, but one good thing does happen to her this week, which is that she learns her second manuscript has been accepted. After the big splash of Capricorn Crude, now she can make an even bigger splash with Nashville Junction. I must say I like the very natural progression of Val's career. If we go all the way back to some really early episode in season one (it feels so far away now that I can't even remember what episode it was, but I think think think it was The Constant Companion), we learned that Val felt inferior for never having completed high school, so she was studying to get her G.E.D. She succeeded at that and then spent season two going to college and taking writing courses (including that gloriously uncomfortable writing class where The Other Paul Rudd showed up as a substitute teacher and took a big shit all over her story). Okay, then in season three we learned that she was working on a big story of her own, a kinda fiction/non-fiction story based on her experiences with the Texas Ewings. That came out in season four and made a big splash and turned her into a successful author and now here we are in season five and her second manuscript is being accepted for publication. Again, if this were Melrose Place, Val would randomly decide out of the blue one day that she wants to become an author and then she would have a published book an episode or two later. KL is so much better at letting these things gradually unfold organically over time.
I don't think this episode is as well directed or edited as I'm getting used to at this juncture in the series, when every episode seems to be this amazingly stylish art film and we are getting solidly consistent and yet uniquely different work from such standouts as Nicholas Sgarro, Larry Elikann, or Bill "You Know What I Like About This Car? The Price" Duke. I mean, it's not a big thing, but I just feel like this one is a little sloppier than usual, and a good example is a scene taking place in Ben's Plant House. We get a quick stock exterior shot of The Plant House and then cut inside and Lilimae is, like, in the middle of ranting to Ben. How did she get in here? Obviously something was cut out, right? The problem is that I can easily tell something was cut, and I feel the cut, and there were no clever tricks done to make the cut less noticeable or a little more stylish; instead the scene just starts and Lilimae is just, kinda, um, there. I recognized the name of this ep's director, Sheldon Larry (pictured below), and I knew I had seen it before, but a glance at his IMDb shows that he only directs two KL eps, with the other one being a little earlier in this season with …And Never Brought to Mind. I'm trying to flashback to that one and I'm sure I enjoyed it just fine, but I also don't seem to recall any cool stylistic flourishes or touches, so maybe there's a reason Mr. Larry only directs two eps while so many of our other directors seem to be invited back time and time again over the course of years (indeed, I am pleased to announce that Bill "Cooke" Duke will be the man behind the camera for our very next episode).
This episode has one very significant development that gave me a very significant KL boner, and that is the relationship of Laura and Greg. So far as I can remember, we've only had one scene with the two of them alone together up to this point (the fabulous scene in Greg's limo in which he made Laura laugh and smile and she was trying to hide it from him), but this episode really speeds up the proceedings with them. Again, my memories from my first watch are proving inaccurate, because I didn't think Laura and Greg shagged until well into season six, but it happens right here in this episode. See, he comes to visit the office and Laura is the only one there and they start to make some chit chat and then he, um, smells her neck. I guess this is supposed to be sexy, and I suppose it would be if it was happening in real life and if you felt some electric chemistry with the person doing it to you (and I do confess I find Devane kinda sexy, though certainly not the Michael-Fairgate-I-want-to-immediately-fuck-the-shit-out-of-him-and-then-come-right-back-for-seconds type of sexy), but it came off as a smidge creepy for me. In any case, it must work for Laura because the very next time we see them, they are in bed together. This was done in a nice way, in which Laura receives a phonecall and we start in a closeup of her sitting up in bed. Of course, the closeup was so tight that I immediately called out what was going to happen, and I was right; the camera pans out a bit and there's naked Sumner lying in bed next to her. Ah, what a fabulous development, though maybe, like my overall criticisms of this episode, moving a smidge too fast?
Speaking of moving too fast, after one night of thrashing around and looking like ass, Karen appears to be doing much better. At first I wasn't sure what to make of this, if perhaps we were supposed to infer that she was being kinda manic and way too "look how healthy I'm feeling today!" But no, I don't think so, I think the drugs are working their way out of her system and she really does feel better, but still, a bit sudden. Anyway, there's a conflict going on between Karen and Mack in this episode in which he feels uncomfortable with the counseling session that she takes him to and then they have a little argument in the hallway where she tells him he needs to come to her with his problems so they can work them out and he says, "You don't listen!" This is a good scene with fantastic acting from both Michele and The Dobsonator, definitely no complaints here. Even if Karen's detox is maybe moving a little fast for me, I am always enthralled by these two and their relationship and I want them to be happy and work things out because I love them.
The time comes for Karen to be done with the program and leave the hospital. However, probably due to nervous feelings about returning home to where her problems started, she starts trying to postpone it, saying how she should stay another day and see what the doctor thinks before she leaves. This is an interesting inversion to how much she wanted to get out of here in the last episode; in that case she was scared and angry and felt she had only her pills to help her, but now she is afraid to leave this hospital that has become something of a safe haven for her. Even so, Mack tells her that the program is over and it's time for her to go home, and he's speaking rather curtly, almost angrily, but then he says, "You'll be back for counseling sessions, and I'll be there with you." This is a sweet moment because Karen sees that, even if Mack is uncomfortable with these sessions, he is going to keep coming with her to be her supporter.
I really liked the very last scene of the episode because I found it tremendously moving and, broken record alert here, very well acted. Also, we get a callback to Mack's dad. This excited me not because I particularly like Mack's dad (you'll recall that The Block Party was my least favorite episode of the otherwise brilliant season four), but because I was quite convinced he vanished into the sky without ever being mentioned again by Mack or anyone else for the rest of the series. Nope, I was wrong, for here we are with Mack speaking to his good old drunken Irish dad on the phone (offscreen, but still, we know he's talking to the dude).
Anyway, Karen comes wandering into the kitchen while Mack is talking and she overhears his conversation and, I think, finally realizes what kind of stress and pressure Mack has been under this last year and, specifically, these last few months. The most moving part is that we hear Mack answering his dad's question about how Karen is doing, and he lies and says, "Karen is the rock of Gibraltar; I couldn't go through anything without her." When the conversation is over, and Mack still thinks he's alone in the kitchen, he hangs up the phone and sorta leans against the kitchen table and starts to hyperventilate and cry a little bit, just overwhelmed with everything going on in his life (remember that he just got dropped from Greg's crime commission due to weird and mysterious allegations). At this point, Karen goes into the kitchen and Mack turns around, and he lets the tears fall right down his face, and the two embrace together and he cries into Karen's shoulder and boom, that's our final scene of the episode, and a pretty damn good way to go out.
All that said, though, I'm gonna have to say this is the weakest ep of the season so far aside from maybe our premiere, The People vs. Gary Ewing. Make no mistake, it's not bad in anyway, but I just had some problems with the way a few things were cut and edited together and I thought the direction lacked the usual KL flair that I've come to expect now. Also, and most importantly for me, it just felt a little fast in almost all regards. This might be the result of this being the first episode on our disk, if that makes any sense. Like, if this had been the last episode on our previous disk after spending so much time watching Karen struggle with her pills, it might have played differently, but hopping back in with a fresh new disk and having her problems seem to be solved so fast (I think, quite literally, overnight) rang a bit false to me.
Okay, let me backtrack a bit. It's not that her problems are solved overnight, since she struggled with addiction for a good long chunk of episodes and since she and Mack are still gonna have some relationship work to do because of this. It's mostly the fact that, within the confines of this episode, we get one scene of her having a nightmare and flailing around in bed and acting all crazy and then, next time we see her, she's better and she's acting like her normal self. Perhaps this really is how it works when you detox a drug, I dunno, but it just rang a bit false for me. Similarly, while I'm glad to see Laura and Greg shag, it sure did come about fast, didn't it? One little sniff of her neck and boom, they're in the sack. Even so, it's KL and I love KL and this season has been dynamite so far and, if I wasn't taking all the time to write these essays and notice all the details of the episodes, this one would have come and gone and I probably wouldn't have even noticed it was weaker than prior episodes. It's only because I'm looking at these under such a microscope now that I see more flaws in this one.
But the good news is that it's all uphill, as the next four episodes on our disk were fucking tremendous, so let's move right along to our next one, the aptly titled Second Chances.

SARASOTA, Fla. -- Last night, Sarasota city commissioners were slated to discuss why the Police Department pulled its application for state accreditation.
However, before Chief Bernadette Dipino got the chance, Vice Mayor Susan Chapman made a motion to refer the issue to an independent police advisory panel.
Last week, Dipino decided to withdraw from the accreditation process after finding the department was not in compliance with numerous standards.

A senior Democrat has fuelled an acrimonious row over a Senate report into torture by the Central Intelligence Agency, by blaming the abuses on former vice-president Dick Cheney.
Nancy Pelosi on Sunday raised the stakes over the landmark study by shifting responsibility from the agency to Cheney, who steered much of the Bush administration's response to the September 11 2001 attacks.
The House minority leader said Cheney, a Republican, set the tone of CIA actions during an era of harsh interrogation methods, a controversy which has flared anew in the runup to congressional elections in November.
CIA torture report: Nancy Pelosi blames Dick Cheney
A senior Democrat has fuelled an acrimonious row over a Senate report into torture by the Central Intelligence Agency, by blaming the abuses on former vice-president Dick Cheney.
Senate Report: Torture Didn't Help Capture Osama bin Laden
For those who want to defend the CIA's torture program, the link between the interrogation programs and the capture of bin Laden has been both a frequent argument and a crown jewel. But there is no link — at least, not according to congressional aides and experts familiar with the controversial Senate Intelligence Committee report that is due to be released imminently.
It has been regularly suggested that torture of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed led to information about a figure named Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti, who provided a critical link to bin Laden. The Senate report, however, indicates that the al-Kuwaiti information only emerged well after the torture took place, the Associated Press reports. What's more, even then it was of more limited value than has been suggested, and did not not include his real name. The CIA has also suggested that information from the torture of Abu Faraj al-Libi introduced the connection to al-Kuwaiti; the report also discredits that idea.
GOP lawmaker dependent on Medicaid opposes Medicaid expansion
Arkansas Rep. Josh Miller (R), who is paralyzed and completely dependent on Medicaid, has spoken out recently in strong opposition to the Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act.
Arkansas lawmakers must re-approve funding for the expansion, with a 75 percent supermajority, to keep the program intact. Approval of the bill is still a few votes short, including Miller's.
Republicans block Senate bill to boost veterans' benefits
A divided Senate on Thursday derailed Democratic legislation that would have provided $21 billion for medical, education, and job-training benefits for the nation's veterans. The bill fell victim to election-year disputes over spending and fresh penalties against Iran.
Each party covets the allegiance of the country's 22 million veterans and their families, and each party blamed the other for turning the effort into a chess match aimed at forcing politically embarrassing votes.
Most Americans say this Congress is worst in their lifetime
The current Congress is not only unproductive, but most Americans see it as the worst they've ever known, according to a new CNN/ORC International poll released Thursday.
Two-thirds said the 113th Congress, which left for the year last week, is the worst in their lifetime. Twenty-eight percent disagreed. Nearly three in four said this Congress has done nothing to deal with the nation's problems.
Senate Republicans block attempt to update firearms rules for 3D guns
An attempt to update firearms rules to cover weapons made using 3D printers was blocked on Monday night as a fresh row over gun control erupted in the Senate.
Existing legislation requires all plastic weapons made or carried in the US contain some metal parts so they can be picked up by security detectors.
The law, dating back to the 1980s, was due to expire on December 9 but was extended by both the House and Senate with only hours to spare.
U.S. Senate goes 'nuclear,' changes filibuster rules
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., pushed through a controversial change to Senate rules Thursday that will make it easier to approve President Obama's nominees but threatens to further divide an already polarized Congress.
Fifty-two Senate Democrats and independents voted to weaken the power of the filibuster. The change reduces the threshold from 60 votes to 51 votes for Senate approval of executive and judicial nominees against unanimous GOP opposition. Three Democrats — Sens. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Carl Levin of Michigan — opposed the change.

In a lively and open match on a difficult surface due to substantial rain during the daylight hours, Chertsey Town inched their way to the top of the Combined Counties League table, but Guildford City and Molesey do have games in hand.
The victory was deserved, if nothing, on chances to score alone, but host side Wembley looked far more talented than their lowly league position would suggest.
In far from ideal conditions, and the evening not helped by the one linesman not turning up so delaying the start by 20 minutes for a replacement to be found, both teams played wide eyed football; especially in a first half that could have given a generous helping of goals at both ends.
Wembley had the easiest two of that created. Both were developed by the nimble and dangerous potentially Kobi Osei in breaking through twice with only Craig Bradshaw in the Chertsey goal to beat.
The first was created after a 40 yard, offside beating run, midway through the first half; the second a quarter of an hour later when in space 15 yards out.
Both times it looked like Osei was favourite but both times Bradshaw's flailing legs saved the day for his team mates.
Chertsey used space on the park to better effect but it did result in loose marking when Wembley broke out from their own patch.
Unchanged Town used the longer ball which paid better dividends than the Lions' shorter game. The eager Town midfield continually robbed the ball off their Wembley counter parts when in possession and then quickly delivered raking passes into the home penalty area.
Dean Papaili was not afraid to have a go at distance either, and went narrowly wide from 35 yards.
Fifteen yard shots on the angle from Trevor Charlery and Danny Bennett warmed the fingertips of Chuks Aminwe between the Wembley sticks.
A strong run right trough the heart of the home defence by Charlery again caused alarm at the back but the ball just could not be despatched.
A route one pass to the ever mobile Marcus Moody saw him clip the ball narrowly wide from a good position.
So it was good work in progress by half time but with no goals to show for a sterling effort.
However, Chertsey could well have been in deficit too, but for Bradshaw's deft footwork.
But of course, the sport is all about teamwork and that showed in abundance, even more so after the break when Town tightened up with their defensive duties. Ollie Treacher was again outstanding.
Wembley were only afforded a couple of half chances, with the best coming after Chertsey had already taken the lead, when a ball was flashed across the Curfews goalmouth, but with no red shirts making a connection.
Chertsey's trademark was in producing a string of probing passes out of the midfield, as well as no nonsense clearances from the back line.
Town continued to play with authority and eventually snatched the vital goal, 67 minutes into the still lively exchange. Moody latched on to a ball that had been chipped though the middle.
Now to the right of the Wembley goal, he played it back to near the penalty spot where Phil Page rushed in and walloped it home through a sea of defenders, giving Aminwe no chance.
A welcome surprise appearance of Jack Francis after an injury gap of a seemingly interminable three months bolstered increasingly tired legs as Town's quest to hang on to what they held became more pronounced.
The last ten or so minutes saw the ball arriving at the outer environs of their penalty area, to be thumped, without too much direction or ceremony, as far away as possible.
But in conceding territory to the North Londoners, the ball came back all too soon. No significant breakthrough was created out of this though and the game ended with Town running down the clock by the right hand corner flag.
Both teams were congratulated on a sporting contest that was full of endeavour in overcoming the elements and perhaps deserved more than just the one goal.
The Chertsey contingent did not mind being restricted to the low strike rate whilst recording their seventh consecutive victory during which 19 goal have scored and three conceded.
Their more direct approach to play of late is certainly proving that the best form of defence is attack! Chertsey are certainly going in the right direction at the moment.


text: Now, I'll turn the call over to Lisa, who will provide additional details on our financial results.Lisa Klinger Thank you, Craig. First, I would like to point out that there were several items that impact the comparability of our quarterly results and those items should be reviewed by investors in order to assess the company's ongoing operations on a comparable basis. These items were described in detail in our press release and include the transaction expenses related to the equity offering during the second quarter as well as the transaction expenses incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and the net settlement payments made and received in connection with two resolved legal matters. For the second quarter, net income increased $2.8 million to $13.3 million from $10.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Diluted earnings per share increased 26.4% to $0.28 per share. For the first half, net income increased 35.9% to $32.6 million with diluted earnings per share of $0.68. As Craig highlighted earlier, the company had total net sales growth of 20.6% and comparable store sales growth of 8% for the quarter. The comp sales increased resulted from a 5.3 percentage point increase in transaction and a 2.5 percentage point increase in average transaction size. The increase in transaction size was primarily driven by increases in average unit retail as a result of passing through cost inflation offset somewhat by the mix effects of lower AUR categories growing faster than a store. We also continue to see the growth of our larger basket transactions outpace the growth of smaller basket transactions as our loyal customers bought more items and spent more per visit. It is important to note that our second quarter 2011 comparable sales growth of 4.6% was driven by one percentage point increase in transactions and a 3.6 percentage point increase in average transaction size. So, on a two-year stacked basis, our comparable sales have increased to 12.6% driven by a healthy balance of a 6.3 percentage point increase in transactions and a 6.3 percentage point increase in transaction size. In addition to the strong comparable sales growth nearly 21% total sales growth performance was also attributable to a strong new store productivity level of nearly 93% highlighting our ability to continue to grow and enter new markets and states with success. As all five new store performed in line or better with the company's forecast. Read the rest of this transcript for free on seekingalpha.com

Starting Information
People transfer money across borders for a variety of reasons. You may have family in another country, and need to send them money. Or you may be making an overseas investment. It is also possible that you are trying to make a transfer as part of a business transaction. Or you are simply planning on travelling, and of course you need to take funds with you.
Whatever the reason, however, you need to be aware that taking money into or out of South Africa involves following due procedure. The transfer of money into and out of South Africa is governed by exchange control legislation, which changes from time to time but which has as its basic principle the prevention of large sums of money leaving the country, in order to protect the domestic South African economy.
This does not mean that it is impossible to get money out of the country. Also, you shouldn't have any fears about moving money into the country. But it does mean that you have to stick to what the law wants you to do. Failure to follow the law when making your transfer could make things very difficult for you at a later stage.
This section of the site is devoted to making the actual transfer. Here, you'll find basic information on obtaining tax clearance, clearance from the South African Reserve Bank, and also advice on making personal and business transfers. Take a look, and if you can't find what you're looking for, feel free to get in touch with us.

Denzel Washington Will Star In Sony's Pictures The Equalizer07/24/2012
The Man is coming back to the big screen. Not that Denzel Washington ever really takes a break from filmmaking, and to prove it, he has been confirmed as The Equalizer in Sony's Pictures film adaptation of the 1980′s TV series of the same name. Meanwhile, Washington is coming off this years 'Safe House,' and will next be seen starring in Robert Zemeckis' 'Flight' and he is currently shooting '2 Guns' with Mark Wahlberg. Wow, that's a steady diet of work at $15 million dollars a picture.
The original 'The Equalizer' series was played by Edward Woodward as a mysterious former covert operations officer who helps people in trouble. FlicksandBits.com writes, 'This new film adaptation has that basic premise but takes off in its own way. Washington's character is described as a solitary, monastic figure who hates injustice and devotes himself to helping people who are being victimized.'
It sounds a lot like Person of Interest, does it not? I am a child of the 80′s or rather, a baby of the 80′s and so I don't think I've ever seen an episode of The Equalizer. I will be seeking it out now that Denzel has signed on to star in the picture though.
The film was penned by Richard Wenk and Sony liked it enough to push for April 2013 principle photography in Boston. Who'll direct? Deadline lists a studio wishlist featuring attention-getting names such as Pierre Morel (Taken), Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive, Bronson), Gavin O'Connor (Warrior) and Gareth Evans (The Raid).
It shouldn't be hard to find a good man or woman to helm this film now that Denzel is attached. Denzel Washington's name on the top of a movie poster almost guarantees a hit and hits allow directors to push for their own pet projects that might otherwise never see the light of day. Stay tune for co-stars and the director.

|[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-5189) Integration with BookKeeper logging system
|Mon, 09 Feb 2009 10:29:00 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5189?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12671794#action_12671794 ] Luca Telloli commented on HADOOP-5189: -------------------------------------- Jeff, I think that for being a logging abstraction, BookKeeper does not implement it but provides a way to achieve it. That is, if the NameNode dies, another process could reconstruct the fsimage starting from a set of ledgers. Actually, any number of independent processes could do it, as soon as they read from the same set of ledgers. This process could definitely be the SecondaryNameNode. I guess that such a process could be implemented to allow warm standby, as proposed in the description. First thought: ZooKeeper could be used to store such an information (the set of ledger IDs that belong to a single fsimage) and the secondary NameNodes could periodically poll for changes (or maybe using some notification mechanism). > Integration with BookKeeper logging system > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-5189 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5189 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 0.19.0 > Reporter: Luca Telloli > Attachments: create.png, HADOOP-5189.patch > > > BookKeeper is a system to reliably log streams of records (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-276).
