It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.
Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,

When a foreclosed home is not sold at auction, it turns into a real estate owned property and is placed back on the market for resale to the public. Real estate owned or REO is a term used in the to describe a class of property owned by a lender—typically a bank, government agency, or government loan insurer.
For a number of reasons, real estate owned properties are a better option for homebuyers than foreclosed homes. Just like foreclosed homes, REO properties are in poor condition, however, unlike foreclosures, REO properties are maintained until sale. Maintenance like basic yard-work, locking up the property, and repairing leaky roofs are common. Along with general maintenance, homebuyers are also allowed to tour the property and have a professional appraisal performed prior to making an offer. If these benefits weren't enough to persuade you to purchase an REO property, then consider this, they are generally cheaper than market value as the banks want them off of their books.
If you think you might be interested in a REO property, contact the agents at At Home Texas Real Estate.
Real estate owned properties are priced to sell and the professionals at At Home Texas Real Estate are eager to help you find the right home. Call us today!

JPMorgan Chase & Co. has excluded Nigeria from its local-currency emerging market bond indexes tracked by more than $200 billion of funds, after restrictions on foreign-exchange transactions prompted investor concerns about a shortage of liquidity.
The first phase of removing Africa's biggest economy from the Government Bond Index-Emerging Markets, or GBI-EM, will take place at the end this month followed by a full exit by the end of October, the New York-based lender said in a statement sent to Bloomberg on Tuesday by spokesman Patrick Burton.
The Central Bank of Nigeria under Governor Godwin Emefiele introduced several foreign-exchange trading restrictions from December to stem the drop of the naira amid weaker oil prices.

Chuckie Cheese's
Well, I have been avoiding it since she was born, but I finally broke down and took the kids to Chuckie Cheese's. Or however you say it. We went when we were still down in Biloxi, so we had reinforcements. It's always better when the grow-ups outnumber the kids, don't you think? It was actually lots of fun. Scott really enjoyed sticking the coins in the little slots, and Ava just liked running around like a wild woman. I tried to teach them my mad skee ball skills...but I don't think they got it.

Foreign fishing crew rules tightened
Immigration New Zealand has introduced what it calls tough new rules to protect foreign crews aboard foreign charter fishing vessels (FCVs).
The rules come follow publicity around widespread near-slave conditions aboard FCVs, which fish a large part of New Zealand's deep ocean quota.
Many crews were physically and sexually abused, served in appalling conditions and often were neither paid properly or when they were, had major deductions made from their wages.
After the revelations the Government set up a ministerial inquiry into FCVs and announced that by 2016 all of them would have to be re-flagged to New Zealand.
Immigration Minister Nathan Guy said the new rules would mean the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment could strengthen its monitoring and enforcement arrangements.
"The changes will mean better protection for employees and closer monitoring of employers. Importantly, each crew member must now have an individual bank account available so that wage payments can be made directly to them in New Zealand," Guy said.
Changes include requiring employers who recruit seven or more foreign crew to first apply for Approval in Principle to recruit foreign crew from the government.
The manning agents in countries like Indonesia would now be paid by the employer recruiting crews, not by crew members seeking jobs.
"These rules are contained in a new set of Immigration Instructions, which replace the Code of Practice for Foreign Fishing Crew," Guy said.
The new rules would be implemented as quickly as possible and would operate alongside the reflagging.
"This will mean these vessels will be subject to the full range of New Zealand law, including employment relations and workplace health and safety law."

During our busiest times we will not accept same-day or while-you-wait engraving jobs.
At other less-busy times we may agree to take jobs for the same-day only if pre-arranged.
All same-day engraving jobs will be charged at twice the typical engraving price for that item. To avoid this charge, please place your order a few days ahead of the date required.
If you wish to enquire further, please call us - see the Contact Us page for details.
The primary task of our engraving staff is to reproduce information exactly how it is provided. Therefore, it is up to you to ensure your instructions are clear and the engraving details thoroughly checked for correctness.
If there are mistakes in the information you provide it is quite possible that those mistakes will appear in the finished work. Where errors are obvious we will correct them or get in touch with you for clarity or confirmation. However if errors originate in details you provide - and we do not notice - we cannot be blamed for reproducing them.
Please check your engraving information before you give it to us. Important details such as the spelling of names and places, grammar and punctuation, are common problem areas.
If you are not sure how to proceed, always ask - we're happy to help you achieve the best results.
Please Contact Us with any questions.
Certain items may not be engravable due to their thickness, hardness, proportions, etc., while other items may be suitable only for a specific type of engraving - eg. by laser, by diamond-tip, or by hand, etc.
We may also advise against engraving an item (or choose not to ) because of its value and the uncertainty of the engraving result.
Always contact us to enquire about engraving on personal and valuable items**.
Please refer to the List Format page for important information.
Logos and special graphics can be incorporated in most cases. There will be a one-off logo setup fee (see the "Artwork" section of the Help Page) and ask about this when you order.
In most cases we will be able to provide a detailed artwork example (in PDF format or as a printout) so you can see how your engraving will look before work commences.
If your item is delicate, too small or not suitable for machine or laser engraving, we can arrange for our hand engraver to make the inscriptions you require.
Typically the engraver collects items once per week and returns them within 2 days.
Common items that require engraving by hand include
If you're not sure whether your item requires hand or machine engraving, contact us or bring the item into the store - generally we will know once we see it.
Although we take the highest degree of care with your valuables (i.e. items you bring to us for engraving) sometimes errors can happen - spelling, machine faults, etc. So when you leave an item with us for engraving, you accept all risks involved, including cost of replacement. If you believe an error was made by us that could easily have been avoided, please talk to us about this - we'll be happy to discuss the matter with you and, if we find that we are at fault, work out a swift and suitable solution.

Germany's Loss, Sotheby's Gain
A $20 million collection of German Expressionist and modern art that has been in the same Stuttgart family for three generations will be auctioned on Oct. 8 and 9 at Sotheby's in London. The sale includes major German and Austrian paintings by artists including August Macke, Wassily Kandinsky and Alexei von Jawlensky, along with watercolors and prints by Max Beckmann and Max Pechstein.
In the beginning of the 20th century, Paul Beck, who ran a successful business specializing in heating systems, had a passion for contemporary German art at a time when it was particularly unpopular. He began collecting works directly from artists like Kandinsky, often in exchange for installing central heating, which the artists would not otherwise have been able to afford. After Beck's death in 1958, his son, Helmut, added to the family's collection of German Expressionist and modern art. After Helmut died in October, the seven heirs decided to sell the collection.
Rainer Beck, Helmut's eldest son, who is a professor of fine art at Dresden University and a leading authority on Otto Dix (he's writing the catalogue raisonné of Dix's paintings), said selling his family's collection is ''announcing the strongest defeat of my life.'' But, he added, ''there are seven of us, and we have bills to pay.''
On the evening of Oct. 8, Sotheby's will auction about 40 works, including three by Macke. The most important is ''Two Women in Front of the Hat Shop'' (1913), one of the most accomplished paintings from his ''Window Display'' series and one of a number he created of women looking in the windows of boutiques and milliners. It is expected to sell for $2.3 million to $3.1 million.
Also for sale will be Kandinsky's ''Black Triangle'' (1923), one of the artist's most important watercolors, which is estimated to sell for $788,000 to $1.1 million, and Jawlensky's ''Half Nude'' (1912), painted when the artist was producing some of his best portraits and estimated at $1.4 million to $1.8 million.Continue reading the main story
''This is a unique collection because of the range of works that includes hundreds of works on paper,'' said Helena Newman, senior director and head of Impressionist and modern art for Sotheby's in London.
This is also a segment of the market that has grown significantly in recent years. In London last month, a 1910 Kirchner landscape was sold at Sotheby's for $5.2 million, a record for the artist. While that painting was included in a sale of Impressionist and modern art, one thing that has helped make German Expressionist and Austrian art popular has been the introduction several years ago of sales devoted exclusively to those schools. While they had traditionally been sold next to masters like Matisse and Picasso, collectors seeing them by themselves realized that these painters had been overlooked and undervalued compared with their contemporaries.
Adding to the popularity of German Expressionist art has been the opening in November of the Neue Galerie in Manhattan. ''It's done a lot to bring these works to the public's attention,'' Ms. Newman said.
Tate Britain's Prize
On Monday Tate Britain put its latest prize on view: Van Dyck's portrait of Sir William Killigrew, the playwright and courtier to Charles I.
Signed by the artist and dated 1638, the three-quarter-length portrait was secured by the Tate partly through an arrangement common in Britain, whereby a collector gives a work of art to the nation in lieu of paying taxes. In addition, Christopher Ondaatje, a London-based philanthropist, donated $157,600 to the acquisition, as did the Tate's Patrons of British Art. The National Art Collections Fund gave $78,800 to help the Tate get the Van Dyck.
The portrait has not been seen publicly since 1983, when it was included in an exhibition on Van Dyck and England at the National Portrait Gallery in London. It comes from an unidentified collection in England. Robert Holden, a London dealer, acted as an agent for the owner.
''It's a painting we've known that has been on our wish list for years,'' said Sir Nicholas Serota, director of the Tate. ''It's this kind of intimate portrait that has transformed British painting.''
Sir Oliver Millar, one of the world's leading experts on Van Dyck, said, ''Such pictures are rare indeed, and that it is signed and dated make it especially important.'' He added, ''It is an extraordinary, elegant figure with a landscape in the background that is unexpectedly good.''
The painting fills an important gap in the Tate's collection. Until now, it had only one Van Dyck, ''Portrait of an Unknown Lady Dressed in Blue,'' and experts say the Killigrew portrait is a much finer Van Dyck.
The Way to the Exit
Phillips, de Pury & Luxembourg is not having a good summer. This struggling third-place auction house has just lost two of its top executives.
The first is Katell le Bourhis, who was brought to Phillips from LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton by its chairman, Bernard Arnault, when he first bought the auction house in 1999. Since then she created the company's visual image, being involved in everything from the design of its West 57th Street headquarters to the look of its catalogs and advertisements. Ms. le Bourhis stayed with Phillips even after Mr. Arnault sold all but 27.5 percent of the company in February.
But this week, auction house employees received e-mail messages announcing Ms. le Bourhis's departure. Reached in Paris, she declined to comment other than to say that she was no longer associated with Phillips.
Thierry Millerand, a 27-year veteran of Sotheby's who joined Phillips in September 2000 to start its department of French and Continental furniture even before the arrival of de Pury & Luxembourg, has resigned.
He will be leaving after the fall sales. ''Phillips is a different company than it was when I first joined,'' Mr. Millerand said, adding that he had not decided what his next move would be.Continue reading the main story

In today's global knowledge economy, global knowledge management is a key factor in any company's competitiveness. The theories of global knowledge management that emphasize the importance of external knowledge, such as "metanational management" and "open innovation," however, have critical flaws: the inherent difficulty a company has in obtaining and mobilizing valuable knowledge from global sources and then effectively applying it to companies with strength and ability to solve the complexity. My main objective was to create a theory without this flaw that companies can use to effectively apply global knowledge. I did this by analyzing, from a business architecture perspective, the management styles of many leading companies (Sony, Sharp, Funai, and Vizio in the LCD-TV field; Canon in digital cameras; Honda in automobiles; and NTN in bearing and joints). I developed the idea of an "integral process" by looking at business architectures, especially integral architectures. I defined the integral process as a way to solve complexity of interdependencies and create core knowledge at the organizational and/or inter-organizational level and as a way to integrate diverse knowledge in order to contribute to this new knowledge. Then, I developed a theory of "integral core knowledge management" for global manufacturing. This theory is comprised of three key strategies: Knowledge Convergence, to converge potential knowledge from global sources in order to evaluate and develop it; Knowledge Integration, to integrate knowledge in order to solve complexity of interdependencies and to create new core knowledge at the local level; and Knowledge Divergence, to promote the divergence of knowledge and maximize company value and profits. Knowledge Integration is the key concept with the integral process, while Knowledge Divergence focuses more on the use of "mother factories" to develop production technology locally as a core knowledge, which is then diverged to globally located factories. The application of integral core knowledge management to companies can increase their performance in a way unachievable with the modularity approach and can also shorten the total input time and reduce the resources used by developing core knowledge at the organizational and/or inter-organizational level.

what I'm going to do for my birthdayApr. 18th, 2009 12:51 pm
So we sta rted to mull over the possibilities, but I wasn't terribly enthused, and he wasn't doing anything to move the quest along. Didn't seem thrilling. And the more I thought about it, researching hotels and airfare, the less I wanted to be beholden to someone else's airline schedule.
I just want to get away with him for a while. I started thinking about trips I've taken, closer to home.
Harper's Ferry. Orange, Virginia. North Carolina. And I got an idea.
Now? We're packing the bikes on the back of his Mini Cooper and taking off for wine country, Virginia. I don't know how much biking we can do, nor how much we're in shape for. I'll look at some rails to trails, and probably buy a bike map book of the region to ponder our options. But there's a mystery dinner theater, and celebrations and festivals all weekend. I'm excited.
We've got reservations for a murder mystery dinner at one winery, and there is the 247th annual Celebration of American Wine. Fencing begins at 9:30AM, all other events at 11. A winding map of wineries to explore.
Last night we went to my friend Erin's birthday party. And it was also her boyfriend's birthday party, as the two of them are what, a day apart? or on the same day? It was so good to see her so happy, and with someone who makes her so happy. He would often seek her out just to kiss the top of her head, or pull her close for a second. and she finally got to meet Serendipity. And he and I sat at the bar and watched the Sox win over the Orioles. And we tumbled into bed exhausted and happy. Woke up that way, too. I wish we could spend Saturday nights at his house again. I miss being with all the boys.
I've decided that, come hell or high water, I will be out of my company and somewhere better by the end of June.
very quickly, for a night to rememberApr. 15th, 2009 07:48 am
A small thing, but precious beyond words... as we were moving through sleep in the wee small hours of the morning, he twice wrapped himself around me in his sleep. On his own admission he does not do this. And yet he did. And I lay awake, as I usually do at night, and smiled.
thoughts on blending familiesJan. 25th, 2009 08:12 pm
Their father's birthday is next weekend. Serendipity has mentioned that he might go skiing with the boys. I am going to assume that means we are not coming. It's a strange sensation. On the one hand, I want him to enjoy his birthday, and if that means taking off with his kids, that's really ok with me. Part of me wonders when do we have to permenantly smash the two groups together and behave as a family? I'm sad we won't be able to celebrate his birthday, and I'll still make a cake. We just will have to eat it later, or I'll make two, one for him to take home to his boys.
My kid is five. He's also a very kinetic five. Always touching something, moving, making noise. It's annoying, and we're working on it. I'm such a hypocrite, though. I pride myself on having raised my son in a tribe, but the fact is, there are levels of tribe. My girlfriends, and by extention, their spouses, are authority figures for my son. They are allowed to discipline him if he's out of line. But when Serendipity reigns my son in, I have a panic attack. It's because of who I am, not who he is or even about my son. It's about being the adult child of an alcoholic whose fragile world crumbled with every mistake, every harsh word. Life has to be perfect or it falls apart, but life is never perfect. I've come so far in dealing with that. But I sat in Serendipity's house with small panic attack running amok in my chest. This is too hard. There might be criticism. He might think less of me or my son. I might be doing it wrong. Am I too indulgent? A million doubts running through my tharn brain because my kid can't sit up at the table. I'm too hard on myself. And this weekend I'm too tired to try to express what's going through my head, though I do tell Serendipity I'm having a panic attack because this is hard to do, this smashing together of families.
What I don't tell him is that I'm withdrawing. On the one hand, I love how happy my son is, how good the boys are together, how much easier my life is when we're all together. But it's hard. And I wonder how we'll make it all work. I worry that there will always be this invisible line down the middle of our lives, not quite together. I worry that my kid is too annoying, and that Serendipity will decide he doesn't want to be a blended family. Unfortunately, work has taken so much out of me, I can't ask any of the questions swirling around my head. I can just duck and cover, hang on, and wait. Eventually I won't be in crisis mode and I'll be able to see more clearly. Used to be, I'd go into crisis mode and start jettisoning anything that was threatening, or difficult, or less than perfect. Now? I just ride it out, because I know it's just the messed up brain chemistry talking, and eventually I'll be myself again.
But it's hard to be patient, with myself, with my son, with the process of letting other people into our small life. It's damned hard.

Well this is infuriating. We are 5 games deep into Kingdom Hearts, and I still don't have an inkling as to what the hell is Kingdom Hearts. Like all the previous Kingdom Hearts games, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep once again skirts around the subject of this magical realm that absolutely nobody has ever seen. It's like if the first Halo game doesn't take place on the actual Halo but is instead on the other side of the galaxy from Halo itself.
The Kingdom Hearts series has successfully created an impenetrable lore that it seems no amount of games titled Kingdom Hearts will ever fully explain just what it is. Birth By Sleep takes place quite a few years before the first Kingdom Hearts, and instead of shedding some light on the origins and even motivations of characters we've come to know from the other games, Birth By Sleep just adds even more layers to an already convoluted story. Perhaps the biggest accomplice to this over complication, aside for the actual plot, is the dialogue.
Kingdom Hearts introduced something I'd like to call the Kingdom Hearts cheese. Although I've seen it in most other Tetsuya Nomura projects, I first discovered it in Kingdom Hearts, so I'm sticking with the name. Basically when a good guy speaks, he/she/it will either reference friendship and love somehow or talk about some invisible force that binds everyone together. When the bad guy talks, it's either about the all-consuming power of darkness in some way shape or form or… no that's about all they ever talk about. Aside from some occasional plot important lines like "go talk to her" or "go over there," Birth By Sleeps dialogue is that typical saying lots of things without saying a damn thing. It was irritating back in Kingdom Hearts 1. It's even more irritating now. It's a wonder why I keep playing it.
Oh right. There is the small element of the actual game where you go around and fight stuff, and it's good. Really good. Whereas most action games will settle with you dishing out as much damage in as little time as possible, Birth By Sleep's combat system is more about how good you are at varying your attacks. You have the ability to choose what kind of attack and magic spells you bring into battle. These commands, as they are called, gains experience as you use them, and in doing so they can be fused into more powerful attacks and magic spells. If you use the right commands, you're rewarded with a temporary transformation into a more powerful fighting style. Once you have achieved one of these transformations, you become a force to be reckoned with. These two work hand in hand with each other because they feed into each other. The more advanced commands are more powerful and make it easier for you to achieve your transformations. Combat is always a joy, especially the ones with more enemies. Each fight you're working your way to transforming into a true badass and are rewarded by gaining experience for your attacks and magic spells. Play your cards right, and each fight is unique story to tell.
So where are we? Between the frustratingly dense story and the joyous combat system, what does a game with this kind of dichotomy deserve? That entirely depends on what you wanted out of your game, and I've always been on the side of mechanics when it comes to games. For that, and maybe only, that reason alone, I enjoyed the game. I sat through the cutscenes hoping to glean some new insight into this legendary Kingdom Hearts, but it never comes. Instead I enjoyed the hell out of the combat. It's unique, and I do hope to see more of it in the future.
Note: I am unable to comment on the multiplayer because I was unable to find anyone to play it with, which I suppose is itself a comment on the multiplayer.
- Excellent combat system
- Addictive leveling system
- Impenetrable lore have just become more impenetrable-er (I know it's not a word, but in this case, it ought to be!)
- Some bosses are a teensy bit too hard
- Nobody to play multiplayer with
Final Verdict:
Praise It!

Designing a large and complex system is a job that must be done in stages. A lot of decisions are bound up within the deployed implementation; we need to make the biggest decisions first -- that is, the decisions that affect most of the rest --- and defer the smaller ones. Bigger decisions are about requirements and the overall architecture; smaller decisions include the design of specific routines or the naming of local variables.
Programming languages are very good for expressing the end result of the decision making process, telling the machinery what we want it to do. But they aren't very good at expressing part-finished designs: the big decisions without the fine detail. That's why we use modeling languages such as UML (or less well known ones like ODP).
Modeling language allows us to talk clearly about the high-level aspects of design, whether discussing things at the whiteboard, or describing a design for the benefit of future maintainers. It enables us to think and communicate clearly about the most important issues, without the clutter of implementation detail.
Although a model is abstract, it need not also be fuzzy. Traditional requirements documents, written in English and illustrated with ad-hoc diagrams, tend to be ambiguous and inconsistent; progressing the design towards the program code increases detail and precision at the same time. During the process, issues glossed over in the requirements spec are raised — sometimes quite late in the schedule, resulting in last-minute fudges.
But it is the precision, not the detail, that exposes the gaps and inconsistencies. Precision means being exact about what your statements do and don't imply. Used properly and to the full, modeling allows you to be precise about the high-level issues. Because you're being abstract, you can cover all of a large system in a short time; because you're being precise, you discover lots of questions about the requirements that you can take back to the customer.
Constructing a good model therefore
Modeling isn't just used for describing the requirements or architecture of a program. It can be used to describe the concepts and activities in a business domain, entirely separate from any single piece of softare. There are several uses:
We generally begin a project by constructing a model of the principal concepts in the domain. This can act as the basis for component requirements and designs, and interface definitions. Models can also be used as the basis for describing changes to existing systems - software requirements management should make explicit the refinements of any SRS (software requirement specification).
It is sometimes better to go straight for building the software, without any modelling. This is the case where the end-product is small or can be made quickly by assembling existing components. In any kind of project, an aim should be to give the customer feedback about what you're providing for them, frequently and as soon as possible. The most effective feedback is an actual working system (even without most of its features): if this can be done very early, that's great — it's what CBD is about. Otherwise, the most useful early feedback comes from the many questions generated by the elaboration of a model.

Free Movies Under the Stars Returns to Moncks Corner Recreation Complex this Spring/in Events, Friends, News, Youth /by berklib
Moncks Corner, SC – The Berkeley County Library System and the town of Moncks Corner are pleased to partner once again to host another round of free outdoor movies at the town of Moncks Corner's regional recreation complex.
The Town and the Library first partnered in the spring of 2016 to test the program in at the Town's new Regional Recreation Complex, which had just opened a few weeks prior to the first movie event. The first event drew close to 800 people and cemented the program as a value to the community.
"The partnership with the Berkley County Library to make the movie nights possible is a perfect example of what can be done when local governments work together for the benefit of the constituents they share. Events like these are what bring us together as a community and our recreation complex works so well for them because of its location and design." Moncks Corner Mayor Lockliear comments.
"The partnership of the two organizations has worked beautifully with the Library assisting with the equipment, set up, and licensing of the movie, and the Town assisting with the venue, staff support, and promotion; however it is with great appreciation to the community sponsors who have stepped up to help fund these events, that has really made this program a possibility" said Berkeley County Library's Marketing Coordinator, Kristen Lanier. "We don't have to look far or hard to find a local business to help fund these events. We often have them calling us wanting to participate. They are so excited to give back to the community. I love it."
The spring movies begin with Disney Pixar's "Finding Dory" on Friday, March 31 sponsored by Atlantis Heating & Air.
The second movie is Disney's "Moana" on Friday, April 28th sponsored by Moncks Corner's newest restaurant, DIG 17A, who will be serving as the food vendor for the event to introduce some of their favorite menu items to the community.
The last of the movies is Illumination's "SING" on Friday, May 19th sponsored by Berkeley Community Mental Health Center in recognition of May as Mental Health Month.
All movies are free! Just bring a lawn chair or blanket and come enjoy a family-friendly movie at no cost. Gates will open at 7 pm and the movie will begin promptly at dark. We kindly request you not to bring in outside food or drinks. There will be food trucks and movie concessions available for purchase.
In case of bad weather:
Last spring's events were often rescheduled due to weather. For this reason, all the movies this year are scheduled for a Friday, with that Saturday reserved for the rain date. Follow the Town of Moncks Corner's or the Library's Facebook accounts for updates if you have any concerns about weather cancellations. Notices will be posted no later than 3 pm on the date of the events.
Calling all Knitters! Help us provide prayer shawls to local nursing homes/in Events, News /by berklib
About Knittin' in the Corner:
When Knittin' in the Corner was started four years ago, we had no idea it would take off like it has. Every week 20-25 dedicated individuals gather at the Moncks Corner Library to
knit, chat and have fun. The group has blossomed into an open community program, drawing men, women, and children, all of various skill levels, who want to knit or crochet. This group also loves giving back to the community and during various times of the year, they will work together to donate to different organizations. At Christmas time we donated 64 hats and 5 headbands to the Berkeley Citizens.
Want to help?
Currently, we are working on prayer shawls to be donated to local nursing homes at Christmas time. We would like to challenge other knitting/crochet groups to join us in this mission and do the same.

Crane collapse in BellevueNov. 17th, 2006 07:17 am
The crane that collapsed in Bellevue last night is right across the street from us... The building in the right side of the frame is the one I work in. After looking down from our lobby, it is kind of creepy to look out a different side of the building and see two more cranes right next to us.

By Alex Nepa of Mint DJ Events: Mint Website
This could have easily been written about our team at JLK Events, since Alex already did it I see no reason to reinvent the wheel.
As I'm finishing our day of wedding planners for my DJ team this coming weekend I answered a call from someone looking for a DJ in three weeks for their wedding. The caller was shocked that A. We're not available. And B. We were so expensive.
It got me to thinking. There are a fair amount of couples that don't understand what goes into making a wedding successful from a DJ point of view, and it goes way beyond just playing some music. I don't blame the couples at all. There are so many hacks in this line of work that the bar is set so insanely low.
So allow me this one time to be "that guy" that posts a giant blog post.
Here's what an average wedding looks like for the Mint team.
1. Pre-booking interview, 1-2 hours. During this interview, we chat, get to know each other, get to know your likes and dislikes, things you've seen at weddings and loved and or hated. We also talk about whether the client would like any enhancements such as lighting design or sound and mics for their ceremony.
2. Follow up & contract prep. 30 mins to 1 hour.
3. Checking in and following up. We routinely check in with our clients leading up to the wedding. We check out their online planning tools to see if they have questions. 2 hours.
4. Final planning meeting. About 3 weeks before a wedding we meet with our clients and go over all the details including music and timelines. In some cases this is a final brainstorm session in putting these pieces together in a way that will flow perfectly. 1-2 hours.
5. Music editing & prep. 2 hours or more. We organize, obtain and edit the key music for our events. We never walk in with a pre-set playlist, but we do make sure to have all of the "must play" music ready to go.
6. Scheduling systems & loading gear. 30 mins to 1 hour. This is the brutal, grueling part of the event. Double checking the systems that are going out, prepping backup and lugging very heavy equipment in and out of vehicles.
7. Travel to venue. Sometimes it's 10 minutes, sometimes it's 3 hours (or even more)
8. Setup. 1 – 3 hours. Depending on the packages and extras clients request setup can take a while. We have equipment managers and assistants that are paid to assist with setup and logistics which is an added cost to us.
9. Performance. This is what the client and guests see. The flawless show. The packed dance floors. The fun. The magic. 4 – 7 hours.
10. Tear down, re-load vehicles, unload vehicles, put gear back in storage. 2 hours.
EDIT: I didn't even mention actual non-time related business costs such as payroll, equipment, insurance (if you hire a DJ that doesn't have insurance you're insane), advertising, vehicles, taxes and a music library that's probably worth $15,000 alone.
So you're looking at 17 – 30+ hours per wedding. Hopefully this post is seen as educational and not preachy. Like I said, I don't blame couples for not understanding because they're not seeing the behind the scenes work OR in other cases they're aligned with hacks.

Typesetting Sage code listings in LaTeX
27 June 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments
I needed to typeset Sage code listings in a LaTeX document. I have used the listings package before, but I want to customize with colours for keywords, comments, strings, etc. Borrowing some customization from William Stein's ICMS 2010 paper, I think I have my customization just about right. The relevant code snippet for the preamble is:
%% For typesetting code listings \usepackage{listings} \lstdefinelanguage{Sage}[]{Python} {morekeywords={False,sage,True},sensitive=true} \lstset{ frame=none, showtabs=False, showspaces=False, showstringspaces=False, commentstyle={\ttfamily\color{dgreencolor}}, keywordstyle={\ttfamily\color{dbluecolor}\bfseries}, stringstyle={\ttfamily\color{dgraycolor}\bfseries}, language=Sage, basicstyle={\fontsize{10pt}{10pt}\ttfamily}, aboveskip=0.3em, belowskip=0.1em, numbers=left, numberstyle=\footnotesize } \definecolor{dblackcolor}{rgb}{0.0,0.0,0.0} \definecolor{dbluecolor}{rgb}{0.01,0.02,0.7} \definecolor{dgreencolor}{rgb}{0.2,0.4,0.0} \definecolor{dgraycolor}{rgb}{0.30,0.3,0.30} \newcommand{\dblue}{\color{dbluecolor}\bf} \newcommand{\dred}{\color{dredcolor}\bf} \newcommand{\dblack}{\color{dblackcolor}\bf}
And here's an example
\begin{lstlisting} sage: R.<x> = ZZ[] sage: type(R.an_element()) <type 'sage.rings...Polynomial_integer_dense_flint'> sage: R.<x,y> = ZZ[] sage: type(R.an_element()) <type 'sage.rings...MPolynomial_libsingular'> sage: R = PolynomialRing(ZZ, 'x', implementation='NTL') sage: type(R.an_element()) # this is a comment <type 'sage.rings...Polynomial_integer_dense_ntl'> sage: def abc(): ... """ ... This should be a very long comment. ... That should span multiple lines. ... To illustrate what colour Sage comments look like. ... To get a feel for the color when rendered using LaTeX. ... """ ... return 2 \end{lstlisting}
This renders as follows:

Reader Josh L. sends the latest news from the Garden State:
I thought you would be interested to see the report on guns and violence that was just released by Gov. Christie's appointed SAFE Task Force committee.
Pages 3 – 23 are most relevant to guns, with the recommendations for gun restrictions summarized on page 23. In sum, the report begins with the wrong assumptions and arrives at worse conclusions. Politically, it does not leave the governor any space to avoid significant and completely unconstitutional gun restrictions. I hope the governor will not give in, but I can't say I'm optimistic.
Here are the summary titles of for each of the task force's recommendation. See the attached PDF for all the gory details.
- Clarify the Effect of Involuntary Outpatient Civil Commitment on an Applicant's Eligibility to Obtain a Firearm Purchaser Identification Card or Handgun Purchase Permit
- Clarify an Applicant's Duty to Disclose His or Her History of Mental Health/Addictions Evaluation and Treatment
- Require that Firearms Purchaser Identification Cards be Renewed
- Periodically Require Courts to Order the Surrender or Seizure of Firearms Purchaser Identification Cards and Firearms Upon Conviction of a Crime, or Upon Involuntary Commitment
- Ensure Appropriate Punishment for the Failure to Comply with a Court Order to Surrender Firearms Purchaser Identification Cards or Firearms
- Ensure Appropriate Punishment for the Failure to Comply with a Court Order to Surrender Firearms Purchaser Identification Cards or Firearms
- Authorize Courts to Order the Seizure of a Person's Firearms Following an Arrest or Initiation of Civil Commitment Proceedings
- Encourage and Facilitate the Voluntary Surrender of Lawfully-Owned Firearms for Safekeeping During Periods of Crisis
- Ensure Appropriate Punishment for the Unlawful Possession of, or Attempt to Acquire, Ammunition
- Enhance Security Procedures for Remote Ammunition Purchases
- Modernize Firearms Purchaser Identification Cards to Include Cardholder Photographs
- Require Sellers to Verify Buyers' Identity
- Ensure Appropriate Punishment for Tampering with Official Firearms Documents or False Personation
- Require Purchasers to Declare Their Intention to Transfer Purchased Firearms/Ammunition to Another
- Enact a New Criminal Law to Specifically Prohibit "Straw Purchases"
- Require Sellers to Report Tampering or False Information in the Course of a Firearms/Ammunition Transaction
- Establish an Interstate Agreement to Share Information

He will fold like a cheap hooker…no wait, hookers are Sen Menendez's thing. But seriously, Christie will do it for the Boss. Bruce or Barack, you pick em.
More like…..'fold like a tasty pretzel. Think food.
Fold faster than Superman on wash day?
So friggin' glad I live in Kentucky.
But he wants to be President…
He screwed any chance of being "president" when he did his "kiss the obungler's butt" photo op after the hurricane….
No, he screwed any chance of being President by being a RINO like Romney.
You're assuming that he won't change parties. He might come across as a "more moderate Democrat" if he did switch.
That's funny, TotenGlocke, 'cause as you know as well as anyone, the GOP primary voters love them some RINOs. Just look at all the nominees since Reagan.
If he wants to be president he'll have to switch parties after he helped BO get reelected.
He was kissing ass to get the money he needed to help his constituents. I don't trust him on guns but he gets shit done
So, it's OK to sell out your morals as long as you "get s*** done". Doing whatever you need to do get s*** done is just fine as long as the ends justify the means. Well, Joe Stalin, ALLLRIGHTYYYY THEN!
Stalin got the wrong things done, for the wrong reasons. The chunky gov had better do the right thing.
He was looking out for number 1, which is the official pastime of politicians in the state of NJ. And he hasn't done much of anything, apart from suck on the national teat. His budgets have been larger than his Democratic predecessors. He makes a lot of noise, but his actions are weak at best, destructive at worst.
The trouble, I think, is two-fold:
1. Christie has grown very popular as of late in NJ – far more popular than he ever was before state-wide (as opposed to nationally) – by moving left, and I think he rather enjoys being very popular.
2. Worse, he probably believes that he does NOT need to be on the right to win the GOP's nomination for president. As evidence, he would point to the party's recent nominees – McCain and Romney (not to mention a few others we might add to the list). And frankly he has a point here. The GOP base has not been successful in rallying around a single conservative candidate in the primaries.
So he will be the Romney of 2016, and we'll see if the GOP base falls for it once more.
F that. I'm voting for Rand Paul as of this point whether he's a Republican or Independent.
I love Rand. He's like his dad with a little less crazy.
A little LESS crazy? What are you smoking? Ron Paul is living proof that any of the founders could not even get a nomination in this day and age.
Ron Paul lost me at free trade with Iran. "Hey, we have nukes, who are we to tell someone else they can't have them?"
I would love for our foreign policy to move in Ron Paul's direction of isolationism, but I don't believe in betraying our allies. If you screw over your friends you'll soon find you don't have any.
Remember, only one country has been irresponsible enough to use nukes – the US you worship so much. The US government has no right to tell others they can't be trusted with nukes we're the US government is the only nation to have used them.
Totenglocke, you sound like a libtard hippy girl with that statement. Comparing the use of the A-bomb in the mid-40's against the empire of Japan with Iran (circa 2013) is batshit. Those bombs saved hundreds of thousands of American lives and MILLIONS of Japanese. We did not fully know the effects of radiation at the time. The Japanese did NOT surrender after the 1st bomb, or the 2nd bomb THREE days later (the same day the Soviet Union entered the war against them). Hell, they did not surrender over a week later when their war council was DEADLOCKED on a vote on whether to surrender or fight to the death. Only the emperor finally did what was right…..a good thing because we had no more bombs for several months afterwards.
They had moved troops and civilians to key positions on the Japanese mainland for the INVASION that would come later, when every single Japanese would fight to the death. It would have been a nightmare without those bombs.
Patty, go ahead and make up whatever excuses you need for why The Almighty US should be allowed to nuke anyone they please for any reason they please, yet no other country should be allowed to have the same power.
It doesn't change the fact that you believe the US is somehow "different" and thus justified in mass murder.
Totenglocke, you didn't even try to respond to his arguments, which were based on historical fact (and he didn't even discuss how many thousands of people were dying of starvation, overwork, and disease every single month in the Japanese slave empire that stretched from India to Manchuria to the Philippines).
You've made it clear enough that you despise what the U.S. did against Japan in WW2, but you've not offered any justification for your position.
@Motha – That's because he didn't make any fact based arguments. He used arguments that have been proven several times to have been untrue, but the myth persists 70 years later.
Also, I never said I despised what the US did. I said that it's a joke for the US to say that using nukes is horrible and non-NATO countries shouldn't be allowed to have them because they are too irresponsible not to use them, yet the US is the only country to have actually used a nuclear weapon.
I get it though. For some insane reason you are like many other gun owners and worship the US government (the very one that would gladly line you up and execute you for your desire to own guns), thus anything it does is "good" and any country that disagrees with it is "evil".
Again, you offer nothing to substantiate your position.
I don't worship the government any more than the Anti-Federalists did, but I don't see the point of blaming the government – or, in this case, Pres. Truman – for making the right decision.
Most of those just sound like bureaucratic nonsense, I can't wait until Massachusetts finally goes completely insane and makes CT and NY look like pansies. Sigh…I need to move.
I wish they were just bureaucratic nonsense. That would be bad enough, but not pose much more of a substantial threat to our liberty than what is already in place in NJ (which is horrendous, mind you). But it's far, far worse.
Here is one little example from the committee's nauseating recommendations (see first full paragraph on p. 15): they want to make it a fourth-degree crime (a NJ term for a type of FELONY) not to secure your guns if it is likely a minor will have access.
In other words, even if no harm occurs, the fact that you haven't locked up your guns or otherwise stored them so that someone 17 or younger cannot get to them will subject you to a possible 18-month stretch in jail plus fines.
That's just one recommendation among many, many others.
He's a RINO. He'll fold like a lawn chair. New Jerseyans, get out while you can!
Periodic FID card renewals? Yea, maybe if it didn't take six months to get an FID card….. and then two weeks for a NICS check. The system they've got now is so broken it's pathetic, and they want to add more red tape? What a joke.
Herein lies the issue. The grabbers are always claiming we need to "improve" the background checks. That is a complete red herring. The system they stated would be the end all in keeping undesirables from getting weapons is now, all of a sudden, not good enough. Face it people, NOTHING will ever be good enough for them, short of complete disarmament.
UPDATE: NJ Democratic Politicians Complain That the Committee's Recommendations Don't Go Nearly Far Enough
""It does not require universal background checks, there is no ban on .50 caliber assault-style weapons, and it punts on the reduction of large magazines," added the Democratic candidate for governor, Barbara Buono, who appeared beside state Sen. Richard Codey (D-27), a former governor.
Lived there, left there, ain't going back..
Honestly those items make no sense whatsoever. He must have been in a hurry to get it done before his afternoon snack of 20 dorito chip bags.
"Encourage and Facilitate the Voluntary Surrender of Lawfully-Owned Firearms for Safekeeping During Periods of Crisis"
Are they crazy………this is when you need it the most.
+1 — my thoughts exactly. Does Katrina/New Orleans ring a bell?
In Katrina they confiscated guns, and anti's think that was a good thing. (of course they confiscated guns from law abiding citizens…. )
Boy, you said it.
And what is the government doing even "ENCOURAGING" people not to exercise their natural (and constitutional) right to self-defense? We'd never tolerate the government's encouragement to cut down on our talking or reading, or to refrain from having jury trials in criminal cases, or to permit the police to enter without a warrant.
You wouldn't want to hurt someone during a riot, so I guess when George goes free they will want your guns, Randy
Excuse my ignorance but what does the following mean:
1. Clarify the Effect of Involuntary Outpatient Civil Commitment on an Applicant's Eligibility to Obtain a Firearm Purchaser Identification Card or Handgun Purchase Permit
2. Clarify an Applicant's Duty to Disclose His or Her History of Mental Health/Addictions Evaluation and Treatment
3. Authorize Courts to Order the Seizure of a Person's Firearms Following an Arrest — What type of an arrest? Can this apply to someone who has been arrested for being at a peaceful protest against a cause?
4. Encourage and Facilitate the Voluntary Surrender of Lawfully-Owned Firearms for Safekeeping During Periods of Crisis – A program should be established that would allow a person to voluntarily turn over firearms to law enforcement authorities for safekeeping when the owner of the firearms or any other person (e.g., other members of the household, parents, etc.) is concerned that the weapons might pose a danger of harm as a result of a mental health condition or crisis.
So would I have to voluntary turn over my firearm if my neighbor says they pose a danger? This has the makings of a gun-grab
house is for sale moving to WV
WTF does this mean???
"Encourage and Facilitate the Voluntary Surrender of Lawfully-Owned Firearms for Safekeeping During Periods of Crisis"
Ascrod probably has it right.
I disagree with their solution however. My firearms are perfectly safe in my hands … no criminals are going to take them out my hands.
There are people stupid enough to turn over their weapons during natural disasters and NJ is trying to oblige them.
By 2016 The Hipster, with the accent on hips, will be a Demondrat. All he needs is a f'n horn and the rhino-i-zation would be complete. I can see Barry telling him "Chris,…. I am you fah-zar" The C's will be better off without Fatso, Toomey, Graham, and Mc Lame for a start. This is the worst pantomime parody of democracy in action I have ever witnessed. And I'm an old SOB.
This was my favorite:
"Authorize Courts to Order the Seizure of a Person's Firearms Following an Arrest or Initiation of Civil Commitment Proceedings"
… thus citizens are now guilty until proven innocent?
And society would be more safe if any police officer could immediately conduct a full strip search of anyone, anywhere, any time, for any reason or even no reason. That doesn't mean we should do it.
We need to eliminate the "safety trumps all" carte blanche mindset. Human dignity trumps all. All laws should uphold human dignity. Laws and policies that do that necessarily improve public safety.
Depriving one of personal property while suspending 2nd amendment rights based on accusations. Very nice indeed.
This is why I refer to it as the Democratic People's Republic of New Jersey. The state flag should also be changed to a simple design with a red star.
Soooooo glad I left NJ!
All this is required because stores in NJ sell fully automatic weapons to school children at the local mall. There are no restrictions on guns of any kind. Arms dealers consider the Garden State the best place to do business and by God something has to be done.
