.- Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo emphasized Nov. 15 how important the Church's post-abortion counseling ministry Project Rachel is and said that it must play a role in the New Evangelization.
"Project Rachel Ministry is at the heart of the Church's mission at this time in her history," Cardinal DiNardo said at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' fall general assembly, which is being held in Baltimore Nov. 14-16.
Cardinal DiNardo, who is chairman of the bishops' pro-life committee, told the gathering that he believes Project Rachel must play a central role in the New Evangelization.
He explained that many women who have had abortions despair of ever being forgiven by God, and consider abortion an unforgiveable sin.
The Church must reach out to these discouraged women and encourage them to seek forgiveness, he said.
Vicki Thorn, founder of Project Rachel, said that the report shows the bishops' commitment to working towards healing for those who are suffering from a past abortion.
She told CNA that the U.S. bishops worked closely with her from the time that she initially began Project Rachel in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee in 1984.
The involvement of the bishops grew as the ministry rapidly expanded, she said.
Several years ago, Thorn turned over Project Rachel's service mark—a trademark used for services—to the bishops, who had greater resources to continue its work. The ministry is now available in more than 110 dioceses across the country.
"It really is a ministry of the Catholic Church," she said.
In a Nov. 15 press conference highlighting the work that Project Rachel does, Cardinal DiNardo explained that abortion affects more people than just the woman who has one.
Rather, he said, the fathers who lose their children are also harmed, along with the doctors who perform abortions and the friends and family who may influence the decision.
"There are millions of women and men who struggle, often for years, with profound grief and with remorse and with guilt," he said. Many of them also suffer trauma-related symptoms, including flashbacks, nightmares and panic attacks.
Isolated and ashamed, fearing that they can never be forgiven, "many then become trapped in despair."
"But that is not God's plan for us," Cardinal DiNardo insisted.
Rather, he explained, God longs to draw humanity to his loving heart, healing and renewing all who are wounded.
Through Project Rachel the Church offers a way "out of the darkness of despair over a past sin" and into "a new life of hope, joy and peace."

Pistorius, who became the first amputee runner to compete in the Olympics in 2012, is on trial in Pretoria, South Africa, for the murder of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on February 14, 2013. He pleaded not guilty to the murder and other gun charges.
Judge Thokozile Masipa will announce her decision Wednesday, according to the report. If Pistorius is order to undergo evaluation it would last 30 days and Pistorius would need to wait for it to be scheduled, which means the trial could be delayed for months.

Social Question
What do you think of the "where's the help?" sentiment?
I've been hearing Gov. Christie complain about how slow the power companies are in restoring power. I have heard complaints elsewhere about FEMA not showing up in Staten Island. Many people on the radio seem to be echoing the complaint seen in this picture.
It gives me a feeling of disquiet and I wondered if anyone else felt this way. There's part of me that thinks that this is the biggest storm in forever to hit this part of the country, and you just can't organize help that fast. We don't have information about where everyone in need is. We don't know what their needs are. And we don't even know where the stuff is yet. So be patient.
And you're asking for money already? Would you expect insurance to show up that quickly?
It just feels like people are sticking out their hands in an insistent way that isn't helpful. Maybe I'm wrong. But it also seems like people are expecting more from government than government can do, and I wonder if they aren't happy with the results, would they vote for politicians who think government should do even less?

Sign ups for the Cinema Club's 21st season, which began February 19th, are now underway! The Club currently meets monthly at 10:30am and 3:00pm at Camera 3 Entertainment, returning to the Pruneyard Dine-In Cinemas (formerly Camera 7 Cinemas) in the fall.
Go to our Club Membership page for more info and to sign up!
Club Director Alejandro Adams specially selects pre-released films that distinguish themselves above others on the film festival circuits, as well as first-rate films in search of a distributor. Prior to each screening, enjoy complimentary gourmet coffee, teas and a buffet while you meet and chat with other cineastes. And as members take their seats, moderators conduct a trivia contest and hand out prizes. No one knows what film to expect at each event, as the title is kept secret until it starts.
Following the film, there's a discussion led by articulate, thoughtful film scholars and critics. When possible, we surprise members by bringing in the director, actors or other principals from the film we are screening, giving them a chance to ask questions and express their feelings to the filmmaker directly. In addition, film surveys are conducted after each event, where the film's representatives gain knowledge about our members' opinions and reactions, which may influence the marketing and publicity decisions of the film distributor, and may even affect the edited version of the film itself.
There are 10 event dates each season, which generally take place every third Sunday of the month, with screenings at 10:30am and 3:00pm. E-mail reminders are sent the week prior to each event date.
For more info or to sign up for the current or upcoming season, go to our Club Membership page

Last night, the top three competed on "The Voice" for one last time--although this almost seemed like a formality, since Cassadee Pope's Season 3 victory had seemed all but preordained for weeks. But just in case there was any chance of Terry McDermott or Nicholas David getting to the winner's circle instead, Cassadee's show-closing, pimp-spot performance of Faith Hill's "Cry" pretty much sealed the deal.
Today, my "The Day After" co-host Matt Whitfield and I discuss last night's performances, what Cassadee's imminent triumph will mean for the future of "The Voice," and if there is any possibility of an upset tonight. Check out our chat before tonight's big finale!

Mount Nyamulagira, also spelled Nyamlagiri, or Nyamuragira, volcano in the Virunga Mountains of east-central Africa, 15 miles (24 km) northeast of Sake, in the volcano region of Virunga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is about 10,023 feet (3,055 metres) high. The most active volcano in Africa, Nyamulagira often emits lava and ash, though fatalities are rare. Since 1882 there have been more than 40 eruptions, including a major one in 1938, when the southwest slope opened and the lava reached Lake Kivu to the south. In 1998 lava from the volcano flowed some 6 miles (10 km) into the surrounding forest and forced the closure of several refugee camps. In January 2000 a series of eruptions occurred, but the presence of Congolese rebels in the surrounding area hampered geological research.

Financial Crime: A Timely Reminder to Gatekeepers30/03/2012
The FSA has this week imposed its largest ever fine (£8.75m) for anti-money laundering failures on Coutts, one of the UK's most prestigious private banks and part of the Royal Bank of Scotland group. This follows hard on the heels of a fine in Autumn 2011 for failings in their processes for the sale of AIG funds and bonds. The repetition of such serious and fundamental systems and controls failings in such a highly respected member of our banking sector illustrates clearly the challenges faced by the private banking and wealth management industry in meeting tougher regulatory standards.
Sadly, these are not isolated cases – there are few major retail banking groups that have not been subject to censure or penalty in recent years. Such penalties are illustrative of the regulator's response to what it sees as persistent industry issues. So, armed with the wisdom of hindsight, what are some of the lessons can we learn?
In areas where the regulatory landscape is undergoing radical reform, such as the Retail Distribution Review (RDR), new regulatory risk naturally finds its way to the top of management's agenda. All too often, however, new business opportunities fail to include proper consideration of regulatory or compliance risk. Those behind the initiative, keen to see it succeed, will ensure that sales staff are incentivised and trained, but this in itself will bring new risks which must be controlled. Identifying, understanding and planning to mitigate those risks is essential to the success of any initiative.
In discussions on any regulatory topic, there is always a lot of talk about 'robust' controls – but what does this really mean? Robust controls certainly involve high standards and quality of records, but more crucially and unpalatably, they also require a 'pass/fail' decision to be taken: with the real consequence that no matter how hard it was to win or how lucrative it looks, business that is too risky needs to be turned away. Robust controls also require 'tough management decisions', a euphemism for cutting bonuses, cancelling new business incentive payments, and removing recidivist staff from the sales floor for retraining, so ensuring that compliance is embedded in advisors' thinking as a key priority.
Controls are not only about new business – all too often, suitability and AML are done as an 'on-boarding' exercise. Closer reading of the FSA's publications, and their Final notices, reveals the clear message that these requirements need to be refreshed and re-evaluated regularly. The risk based approach applies here too – the higher risk the client, the more carefully and frequently information needs to be reviewed and transactions monitored and considered against expectations. The FSA has set out its stall very clearly – firms that provide a gateway for financial crime can expect to be held to account. Don't be next.

IRA man's cash stash is gifted to flat owner
Cash found in the former home of ex-IRA man turned property developer Tom McFeely is to be given to a bereaved woman who bought one of his fire risk flats.
In September, €200,000 (£169,000) in €50 banknotes was found in the repossessed home in Dublin.
A plumber found most of the cash hidden under a bath in the Ballsbridge house formerly owned by the Co Londonderry businessman.
The new owners were entitled to €5,000 (£4,200) but donated it to the woman whose partner took his own life.
Stephanie Meehan's partner Fiachra Daly killed himself in July after struggling with financial problems caused by their purchase of a defective apartment in the Priory Hall development built by McFeely's company.
The apartments in Dublin were deemed uninhabitable because of fire safety concerns.
The couple and their children were among 240 residents who were evicted in October 2011.
Ms Meehan campaigned for the Irish Government to take action and help to compensate residents.

C.J. Wilson used to be the Texas Rangers' player representative who served as a liaison between the team's clubhouse and the Major League Baseball Players Association.
That was probably a wheels-off proposition at times given Wilson's propensity for outrageousness.
So with Wilson departing via free agency, who else would the Rangers want to carry that torch than a guy that goes by "The Dutch Oven".
Holland, despite his goofiness and quirkiness, will represent the Rangers with the players association.
"I just showed up today and they volunteered me," Holland told MLB.com. "I'll just try to do everything the right way."
Sounds inspired.
Maybe he'll break out his Harry Caray or Ah-nuld with his thin mustache at the next meeting? Let's hope so.

What you need is a quality PSU. Never skimp on the PSU, it powers everything in your computer and can take everything in your computer out if it fails. I know this is not the answer you want to hear, but I doubt if anyone will disagree with that. You need one with more power than is necessary, and a good quality one. I always recommend Corsair, Seasonic and Antec. You just bought an expensive GPU, don't skimp on the thing that makes it work.

Re: Is a Leveling Base Really Necessary?
CorwinGraves wrote
Thanks all - that\'s what I figured, but was hoping for a different answer
I\'ve never done a pano before, but have been in many situations where I wished I had the right gear. I shoot landscapes exclusively and spend lots of time in the Sierra Nevada mountains and surrounding area.
IMO leveling isn\'t all that important. I guess I\'ve done about 100 panoramas that I actually liked so far and prolly another hundred or two that didn\'t expose and process the way I had hoped. So far they have been of all types: 40 or 50 shot single row, 50 to 300 shot multi-row, and smaller ones consisting of 10 or less shots. Some 5 or 6 years ago when pano software was young getting things level was much more important. Today, nope, almost not at all - even just eyeing it is totally good enough. Software now lets you rotate, stretch, and bend to your heart\'s content so even the tiny bubble-levels on cheaper pods and heads are overkill.
Additionally node-centering rails and sliders aren\'t all that useful either - depending. If the subject is close (like indoors or something) or there\'s foreground elements which are close then yeah, node positioning is (or can be) fairly critical. OTOH if you\'re doing a mountain range or something you could put the camera on a dang 2 meter swing-arm and it wouldn\'t matter a bit. Where all elements are at least ~20 meters away those centering rails become completely ineffectual over mounting the camera on just any old head.
In the Sierra Nevada\'s where I might also like to shoot some wildlife and at the same time not have to bring a ton of gadgets I think a gimbal head would be more practical. They allow node centering as well and also at the same time make panorama shooting fun and super easy. And of course every wildlife shooter can attest to the positive experiences they had with gimbals.
I dunno, I think even if I were going to do nothing else but panoramas all the time and make that my full-time career I wouldn\'t opt for either the centering rails nor the leveler - especially no need for the leveler. I feel kinda bad saying that as you\'ve mentioned that the rails were a Christmas present and I think it\'s really bad form to put down someone\'s gift. But you asked and others are involved now too so I guess why not tell it how it really is?
GH2_Canon_FD_85mm_f1.2L @ f/1.2
About 40 shots after cropping - standing about 15m to 20m away from the yellow tree.
GH2_Canon_FD_85mm_f1.2L @ f/1.2
240 shots after cropping - standing about 8m away from the little button shrub in the FG there.
And about 10 or 12m from the yellow tree which was looming almost directly over
my head - for the top row the camera was pointed up about 80˚ to 85˚.

Contrôle stochastique appliqué à la finance
- Bouchard, Bruno
This PhD thesis considers the optimal trading problem from the stochastic control approach and consists of four parts. In the first part, we begin with the study of the impacts generated by volumes on the price process. We introduce a structural model in which price movements are due to not only the last trade's volume but also to those of earlier trades, weakened by a decay factor. Considering a similar continuous version, we provide a condition ensuring the optimality of a strategy for the minimization of the execution cost in a mean-variance framework, and solve it numerically. In the second part, we propose a general model to optimize the way trading algorithms are used. Using an impulse control approach, we model the execution of a large order by a sequence (τi,δi,Ei)i, which is defined so that the i-th slice is executed in [τi,τi+δi] with parameter Ei. We characterize the value function as a viscosity solution of a system of PDE. We provide a numerical scheme and prove its convergence. Numerical illustrations are given for a real case. We deal with the problem of pricing an option on the book liquidation in presence of impact where the classical pricing by neutral risk measure fails. We begin with an abstract model generalized from the work of Bouchard- Eile-Touzi (2008), and then apply to compute the price of a VWAP guaranteed contract. We establish in the last part an equivalence result between stochastic target problems and standard optimal control. We derive the classical HJB equation from the PDE obtained in the stochastic target framework.

Three years after being rescued by a taxpayer bailout, General Motors recently announced some rather ambitious profit targets for 2012. But even if it meets these targets—a big if—taxpayers should not wait on one foot to recover their remaining "investment" in the company.
There is no doubt that GM has returned from the brink. It made $8 billion last year, a record high, and regained enough global market share to once again become the world's biggest automaker, a title it had lost to Toyota. More impressive, it is planning to bump its profit margins from 6 percent last year to 10 percent this year, on par with its best-in-class rivals such as Hyundai and BMW. This, it hopes, will allow it to post $10 billion in profits this year, something that only 17 public companies managed to do in 2010.
Advertisement - story continues below
How did investors react to all this hope and cheer? With a giant yawn: GM's stock price, which has been hovering around $25 for months, barely budged. That's $8 below GM's IPO price. And it's $30 below what's needed for taxpayers to recover the $30 billion they still have stuck in the company.

Irma Rangel Institute Supports "Project MALES"
Wed, May 28, 2014
Project MALES -- Mentoring to Achieve Latino Educational Success
Led by Assistant Professor Victor Saenz in the College of Education, this project seeks to better understand the experience of Latino men in higher education.
"In 2010 Dr. Victor B. Saenz (Assistant Professor, UT College of Education) and his research team made up of UT graduate students officially launched an ambitious new research and mentoring effort called Project MALES (Mentoring to Achieve Latino Educational Success). Project MALES is led by Dr. Saenz and it is based within the UT-Austin Division of Diversity & Community Engagement (DDCE). Project MALES is made up of two interrelated initiatives: a research project focused on exploring the complex experiences of Latino males in higher education; and, a pilot mentoring project that aims to cultivate an engaged support network for Latino males at UT-Austin and the Central Texas community. The Project embodies praxis by fusing these two initiatives through its use of a research-informed program model that highlights mentoring as a way to leverage social capital among Latino males across multiple generations. With a strong focus on mentoring, leadership development, community engagement, and research, Project MALES' ultimate goal is to enhance the postsecondary participation and completion rates for male students of color as well as to inform policymaking and policy development within this emerging state and national imperative.
The Public Policy Institute has supported Project MALES through the funding of a graduate research assistant over the last seven summers. This doctoral student has engaged in scholarly training and has had first-hand experience in organizing and conducting field and writing activities related to MALES' ongoing research work. This student has also helped further the work of Project MALES and the policy agenda that is emerging regarding the issue of the emerging gender gap in educational attainment. The support that Project MALES receives from the Public Policy Institute has helped to nurture these young scholars in taking research and practice and translating that into a workable policy agenda."

XP Mode wont shut itself down after app closed
little help please guys if youd be so kind, just installed XP mode as i now dont need Hardware virtualization (yay!) from my initial tests it seems that although the machine is set to "shutdown on close" it doesnt free the resources when I close an xp mode application launched straight from the Windows 7 desktop unless I open the VM again and then close that window, or hit CTRL-ALT-END while the XP mode app is still running and select shutdown from there

I'm having many problems updating a xtraGrid bound to a List.
In my application a have a List(Of InternalMessages) in a given class.
This list is updated from many threads, and represents all messages received and send through a specifid UDP port in my app.
When a message is received in UDP Port, this message is inserted in this list.
Also, sometimes, the system send messages to UDP port by inserting a message in this list (there's a class observing the list to see if a message needs to be send).
In the first implementation of my app, I tried to bound the List to a xtraGrid by setting the DataSource of my grid to my list.
This, of course, does't work, because I started to have cross-thread operations problems.
After searching I found this thread: http://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/p/AK2981.aspx.
This thread states:
"Said differently, within a background thread you should work with a local copy of the DataSource and pass its clone to the Grid's DataSource when necessary."
So, I changed my app to return a copy of the list every time my grid needs update:
This is the method that insert itens in the list:
Public Sub Add(ByVal item As InternalMsg) Implements ICollection(Of InternalMsg).Add
_cloned = _table.Copy
RaiseEvent MessageAdded(item)
End Sub
This is the method that return a copy of the list to the xtraGrid.
Public ReadOnly Property GetTable
Return _cloned
End Get
End Property
Now, the grid can be updated without problems in this app.
But... when the grid is using groups (grouping by a specific column) the view behaviour is somewhat strange.
If I select a grouping row that is expanded and a message is inserted in the List, the expanded group is colapsed.
Also, if a select a message in a group, and the List is updated, the grid selects the first message in the group when its datasource is updated... changind the row with the focus.
How can I fix this behavior?
Hi Luiz,
This behavior is correct. In your scenario you assign a new datasource to GridControl. That is why GridView recreates all rows and moves focus to the first row.
To solve the problem, save and restore your GridView state as described in the How to preserve the XtraGrid View state Knowledge Base article. An example for this article contains the RefreshHelper class. You can easily add it your project.

The stitches are out...
Well, at least the scar won't be somewhere noticeable...
Avada kedavra!
Draft on Draught 2008
Of course, mock drafts - all 150,000 of them - are exercises in futility. One pick goes wrong, and the dominoes of dumbass fall, one-by-one, until you're left with only 10 of 64 picks on-the-nose (that's me, folks). So this year, in an increasing attempt to not make myself look like a Down's baby, I've abandoned the conceit. And, truth be told, I no longer feel the need to spend 10 hours on a post that is probably my least read of the year.
Here, instead, is a bit of a focus on my team, THE Atlanta Falcons. We - yes, "we" - hold the third overall pick, three picks in the 2nd round, two picks in the 3rd, and five to go after that. We're playas.
Scenario #1 (no Dorsey available):
- Jake Long to the Dolphins.
- Glenn Dorsey to the Rams.
- The Falcons freak out - this has been their nightmare scenario - and take Matt Ryan.
Scenario #2 (Dorsey available):
- Jake Long to the Dolphins.
- Chris Long to the Rams.
- Glenn Dorsey to the Falcons (with Matt Ryan falling to the Ravens at #8).
It all hinges on the Rams, of course. I'm leaning toward Scenario #2 at this point, because I think the Rams will see Chris Long as more of a sure thing. Now, of course, here comes the fun part.
What I Want To Happen (now that Jake Long is already gone):
- Jake Long to the Dolphins (God, I wanted him).
- Glenn Dorsey to the Rams.
- Matt Ryan to the - Ravens.
Oh, hells yes. Dorsey is taken off the board by St. Louis, and instead of collectively shitting
themselves ourselves and taking Ryan (a buster waiting to happen), they we trade down with the Ravens. Atlanta gets the Ravens's #8 pick - which th ... we use on Sedrick Ellis - another second round pick, and another one later. Then the Falcons use a couple of those second round picks to trade back into the first round and grab a QB - either Chad Henne or Joe Flacco, who will be much better pros than either Ryan or Brian Brohm. (I'm virulently anti-Brohm, by the way. I don't know why the Falcons would ever consider a QB groomed in Bobby Petrino's system).
Of course, this is based on knowing the Falcons are targeting a QB. If I were running the draft, and this will probably be a good reason I'm not, I'm not necessarily taking a QB at all. Maybe it's my allegiance to DJ Shockley talking, but there's a much greater need in building the O and D lines. I know I'm in the minority here, but I see Redman and/or Harrington being a helluva lot more successful if they're given more than three seconds to find a receiver.
So to recap:
1) Trade down.
2) Avoid Matt Ryan and Brian Brohm.
3) Build the lines.
4) Give Josh season tickets.

Home of the free
I stayed with The Fiancee last night, but realized this morning I hadn't packed one crucial piece of clothing.
And hey, I'm not going to lie, I'm digging it.

There will be blood
The first time I participated in a Briarlake Church softball game was a quarter century ago. My dad played on a Friday night team with a bunch of his buddies. My role was clear: to scream "Go Dad!" at every pitch. Every last one. Over and over. "Go Dad!" It was a valuable part to play, to annoy the opposing team into submission. Many would say it trained me for future political arguments and dating.
The kids would focus on the game with unnerving focus, except of course for the times when we didn't. When the dark halls of the church would turn into a playground, or the playground would turn into a battlefield, or the huge newspaper recycling bin would turn into a crawl-into library (according to legend a Playboy was once found, though the hundred subsequent ventures had come up empty).
Our unconditional fandom was rewarded postgame with a trip to Mo's Pizza, or Famous Pub, or Athens Pizza, where the kids got quarters for video games (sometimes miraculously discovered in stacks on nearby pool tables), and the parents found entertainment in boring ol' conversation. And some three hours later, the moms would drive everybody home.
Twenty-five years later, many details remain the same. The league is still on Friday nights, the field is unchanged, and my dad is still pitching every week for the team in the black jersey (creatively monikered "BLACK" on the league schedule). The evolution has come in the actual participants, as fathers have been replaced by their sons, and their sons' friends. At 32, I am now the third oldest person on the team, and a veteran player of nearly 15 years.
This last fact alone should lead you to believe I am a talented player. It should inspire a vision of my diamond prowess, of how 30 years of combined play and study has honed my skillset into one of a finely oiled softball machine.
Alas, this is still the kind of shit that happens when I try to field a groundball:
That happened Friday night, in the final inning of our double header. I was pitching in relief of dad, and since we were in charge by a healthy nine runs, I couldn't do much to screw it up. I released one particular ball, and it was shot back toward the mound. Moving to my left to scoop it up, I obviously misjudged the bounce, and it knocked me right - well, you can see where it knocked me. Duh.
I put my hand to my forehead, the ball rolled away, the batter was safe with a single. I thought it was fine until I pulled my fingers away and saw a lava flow rush past my eyes and onto my shirt.
Suddenly, I felt myself being escorted by folks a lot more concerned than I was. An icepack was shoved at my face (but not applied before I posed for the above picture), I was practically carried into a lawnchair, and three guys from the other team huddled over me like magnifying glass-wielding kids frying an ant.
"Let me see it. Oooh, yeah, you're gonna need stitches," murmurs of agreement, murmurs of agreement. "Let me take another look," plans of action, plans of action.
My quizzical expression must have conveyed my inner monologue of "Get your fucking hands off my face," as one of them quickly identified himself as a doctor. And then two more did as well. And then two more.
We were playing a team of facial surgeons. No shit.
I sat pressing the icepack to my forehead while five strangers - who at that point I'd never exchanged a single word with - debated my next course of action. One of them was on call at Crawford Long Hospital, so should, no ... The ER is close-by, but the wait would be excruciating on a Friday night ... One guy's office in Midtown could ...
And that was the final call. One of these noble sirs told my sister and I to follow him to Midtown, where he would open his office at 11 p.m. on a Friday. And 30 minutes later, I was standing in a dark Atlanta highrise, with three surgeons standing over me, doing the stitching gruntwork that no doubt is usually passed to one of their employees.
Just before the needle and thread made their appearance, though, the doctors wanted to make sure my skull was fine. One look at my patented HugeMasseyHead® told them a bullet would have a hard time causing a concussion, but they took a look nonetheless.
Ok, that's creepy, no? Maybe because it's actually me, but I can't look at that picture for too long. You can see the outline of my actual face, for one, but - I mean, damn, look how deep my teeth are. And my neck? That thing just doesn't look as sturdy as I'd like.
Proving the doctors were much smarter than I, that X-ray told them I was healthy (apparently, you're supposed to have that hole in your forehead. Who knew?). So as my sister documented everything with her camera, they got to work.
Please note that my newest hero was still in his softball jersey. He will definitely get some easy pitches in our next matchup.
I didn't see that needle until I took a look at these pictures the next day. Thank Christ.
That's actually a helluva shot, sis. And really gross if you look closely.
And the next day, the final product:
Thank God I'm already engaged. And that we've already paid for the location.
They told me it will likely scar, which to tell you the truth, was pretty kick-ass news. I, of course, pictured sitting around a table like Quint in Jaws, showing my wound to prove my manhood. The Fiancee had to bring up Harry Potter and bring those visions crashing down.
But it does look gnarly-cool up close.

Quote from AiM_17
To be fully automatic you would need command blocks, but assuming you're playing in survival... there is no "fully automatic" cow farm where the cows replenish themselves. However, with the new 1.8 version coming out, villagers may breed animals for you, making something like this possible. Just wait until 1.8 and see if the villager AI does this, or stick with a normal breed-then-kill farm.

Farewell to charms: Ernest Hemingway missive to Marlene Dietrich set for auction
A playful, bawdy letter from Ernest Hemingway to Marlene Dietrich in which the Nobel prizewinner imagines himself straddling the German actress on a Las Vegas stage will go on sale at an auction house in Los Angeles.
Writing from Cuba and addressing Dietrich as "Dearest Kraut", Hemingway begins by thanking her for her "good long letter", part of a long correspondence between the novelist and the femme fatale.
Thirty of those letters and telegrams were donated by Dietrich's daughter, Maria Riva, to the Kennedy Library in Boston in 2007, 15 years after her death.
How this particular letter, written in August 1955, came up for sale at the auction site MomentsInTime.com remains unclear. Gary Zimet, who runs the auction house, said it was being put…

American Folk Festival Preview 2
It's hard to believe it's time once again for the American Folk Festival! This weekend, the Bangor Waterfront will be filled with music and food from cultures around the world. I thought it would be fun again this year to offer a preview of a few of the acts that will be in town for the festival. This time, I even have a performer from Maine!
Frank Ferrel calls his version of music "Just New England Fiddling." Ferrel is considered to be one of the premiere fiddlers playing today, and is largely considered a brilliant composer. You may have heard him on Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion."
Jorge Arce and Raiz de Plena will share the Puerto Rican plena tradition when they lead the kickoff parade on Friday, and later when they take the stage for an evening of salsa.
The American Folk Festival will fill the Bangor Waterfront with music Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It's free, but organizers encourage people to donate $10 for each day they attend. The money raised at the Festival will help ensure that it continues to be a free event! For a complete schedule of events, log onto the American Folk Festival website. And I'll see you there!

The plaintiff seeks damages against the defendant for retaliation. The plaintiff has the burden of proving each of the following elements by a preponderance of the evidence:
1. the plaintiff engaged in or was engaging in an activity protected under federal law, that is [activity];
2. the employer subjected the plaintiff to an adverse employment action, that is [adverse employment action]; and
3. the plaintiff was subjected to the adverse employment action because of [[his] [her]] [participation in protected activity].
A plaintiff is "subjected to an adverse employment action" because of [[his] [her]] [participation in protected activity] if the adverse employment action would not have occurred but for that participation.
If you find that the plaintiff has proved all three of these elements, your verdict should be for the plaintiff. If, on the other hand, the plaintiff has failed to prove any of these elements, your verdict should be for the defendant.
Title VII makes it an unlawful employment practice for a person covered by the Act to discriminate against an individual "because he has opposed any practice made an unlawful employment practice by this subchapter, or because he has made a charge, testified, assisted, or participated in any manner in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing under this subchapter." 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-3(a).
When an affirmative defense is asserted, this instruction should be accompanied by the appropriate affirmative defense instruction.
For a definition of "adverse employment action" in the context of retaliation, see Instruction 10.10 (Civil Rights—Title VII—"Adverse Employment Action" in Retaliation Cases).
In order to be a protected activity, the plaintiff's opposition must have been directed toward a discriminatory act by an employer or an agent of an employer. See Silver v. KCA, Inc., 586 F.2d 138, 140-42 (9th Cir.1978) (holding that employee's opposition to a racially discriminatory act of a co-employee cannot be the basis for a retaliation action); E.E.O.C. v. Crown Zellerbach Corp., 720 F.2d 1008, 1013-14 (9th Cir.1983) (holding that employee's objections to discriminatory practices by the warehouse personnel manager, on facts presented, constituted objections to discriminatory actions of employer).
Informal as well as formal complaints or demands are protected activities under Title VII. See Passantino v. Johnson & Johnson Consumer Prods., Inc., 212 F.3d 493, 506 (9th Cir.2000).
Regarding the third element, "a plaintiff making a retaliation claim under § 2000e-3(a) must establish that his or her protected activity was a but-for cause of the alleged adverse action by the employer." Univ. of Tex. Sw. Med. Ctr. v. Nassar, 133 S. Ct. 2517, 2534 (2013) (rejecting motivating factor test in retaliation claim).

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Dalai Lama is planning a three-day visit to Louisville next spring with a series of appearances to promote compassion among people of all faiths, officials said Monday.
As part of his May 19-21 visit, the Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader will give a public talk at the city's downtown arena, offer insights into Buddhism during two teachings and reach out to young people during an appearance at a performing arts center.
"The visit by His Holiness will be a pivotal, shining moment for our city," Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer said.
The announcement, made at a Tibetan Buddhist Center, began with Buddhist monks chanting the Dalai Lama's prayer for world peace. The 77-year-old spiritual leader lives in exile in India. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 for advocating nonviolent liberation for Tibet.
Officials predicted the three-day event will attract thousands of people.
"The Dalai Lama is such an iconic figure for peace, justice and compassion," Fischer said.
"It's going to be a unique, once-in-a-life opportunity for our citizens to not just experience His Holiness, but then to also experience themselves in a deeper way that will lead to untold good deeds within our city and beyond," the mayor said.
The invitation came from Geshe Kalsang Rapgyal, resident director of the local Tibetan Buddhist Center — the Drepung Gomang Institute.
The Dalai Lama's visit will begin with a two-hour presentation at the KFC Yum Center on Sunday, May 19. His comments will focus on how people of various religious beliefs can promote world peace through compassion.
The next day, the Dalai Lama will offer a two-part public Buddhist teaching, with morning and afternoon sessions. The event is meant to deepen understanding of the Buddhist faith.
Geshe Rapgyal said the teachings will focus on the Buddhist principle of compassion.
"It's something that anybody can practice," he said through an interpreter.
Then on the final day, the Dalai Lama will speak to middle and high school and college students at the downtown performing arts center.
Organizers are planning music, arts and cultural performances to accompany the high-profile visit.
Fischer said he has tried to do his part to promote compassion through volunteer work in Louisville. One effort resulted in tens of thousands of volunteers stepping forward to help others during a week this past April. A similar effort is planned next spring.Comment on this story
"As an elected official, there's people around me saying that makes me sound soft, and I shouldn't talk about compassion," Fischer said. "I should be tougher. But I have to say, when I talk about compassion, people's heads nod and they engage more than any topic that I talk about. So I think it's within everybody that they just almost want permission to talk and connect with their fellow human beings."
The Dalai Lama fled Tibet in the 1950s amid China's rule of the Himalayan region. China says Tibet has always been part of its territory, but many Tibetans say the region was virtually independent for centuries and that Beijing's control is draining Tibetan culture. Since 2009, dozens of Tibetans have set themselves on fire to protest Chinese rule.
The Dalai Lama has visited the United States regularly for the past 30 years. His last visit to Louisville was in 1994.

Amnesty International's abortion reversal is causing a reaction that is larger than the group may have believed possible. The head of the Catholic Education Office in Melbourne, Australia, Mr. Stephen Elder, has urged all 328 of the archdiocese's schools to sever their connections to the human rights group.
Elder's letter called on schools to "convey their disappointment" to AI, because they decided earlier this year to abandon their long-standing neutral position on abortion and to begin lobbying governments that ban abortion to decriminalize it.
The move was reaffirmed at the organization's International Council Meeting in Mexico City last month, which was attended by more than 400 international delegates.
Elder said that his office made repeated attempts to contact Amnesty over the issue to raise its "serious concerns about the policy". However, despite their efforts to discuss the new stance the talks proved fruitless.
"Abortion is a fundamental denial of the dignity of the human person and a breach of the human rights of the child," Mr. Elder said in a statement.
Amnesty's policy change is seen by many as a betrayal of its founding, since it was a Catholic layman, Peter Benenson who established the group in 1961. Up until this past month, Amnesty International maintained a position of neutrality on abortion, saying that the issue was outside its mandate.
One school that has withdrawn its support from AI, emphasized this point by founding a new human rights group called the Benenson Society so that they could continue to carry out the original vision of the founder. For more on this story click here.
Maria Kirkwood, assistant director of religious education and pastoral care in the Melbourne archdiocese also weighed in on the sudden policy shift; "It's an organization we would encourage schools to support, which is why this is so disappointing."
"But this particular issue is a very significant one for the Catholic Church and it is impossible for the Catholic Church to continue to support Amnesty with a policy of this nature in place."
Indeed, this past Tuesday, CNA reported that the president of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, Archbishop Philip Wilson, called on Amnesty International to reverse its stance, which he described as deeply regrettable.
Days later, the head of the Italian Bishops' Conference, Archbishop Angelo Bagnasco also condemned the switch saying that it helped to erode the human consciences.
A spokeswoman for Amnesty International confirmed it had already received letters from individual schools, withdrawing their support from the organization because of its new position.
Amnesty has also expanded its mission to include homosexual "rights" for more on this see today's story here.

.- Radio Paz, a ministry of the Archdiocese of Miami, has become the newest radio affiliate of the EWTN Global Catholic Network.
The station will expand the amount of programming from EWTN's Spanish-language network, Radio Católica Mundial, from three hours per day to up to 12 hours per day. Radio Paz has had a 13-year relationship with the global media network.
Archbishop Thomas Wenski of Miami commented on the change, saying:
"As Radio Paz and EWTN move forward as a team, I know you will enjoy and appreciate the new productions."
EWTN president and CEO Michael P. Warsaw said that many people are aware of the network's English-language radio feed, broadcast by 148 affiliates. But EWTN also has two Spanish radio networks as well as a Spanish television network.
"We are especially pleased to include the Miami Archdiocese as part of our family," Warsaw said.
Almost 85 percent of U.S. Catholic radio stations use programming from EWTN Global Catholic Radio Network or Radio Católica Mundial. This programming is supplied to affiliates free of charge.
Warsaw credited the growth of Catholic radio in the U.S. to EWTN foundress Mother Angelica.
"Mother launched the world's largest privately-owned shortwave radio facility on Dec. 28, 1992," he noted. "Approximately three years later, on Feb. 27, 1996, EWTN launched a worldwide AM/FM radio service. Mother's vision was to build Catholic radio in this country, and around the world, by offering quality Catholic programming and advice free of charge."
EWTN began its Hispanic outreach on Feb. 1, 1989 with a three-hour block of programming. The network's round-the-clock Spanish-language television and radio has been available in Latin America and Spain since 1996 and in the U.S. since 1999.
There were fewer than 10 Catholic-formatted radio stations in the U.S. in 1996, according to Warsaw. Now 148 out of 175 Catholic AM/FM radio stations in the country are EWTN affiliates. EWTN Catholic radio can also be heard on Sirius Satellite Radio Channel 160 and on the internet.

It is no secret that Scott Starr would like an offer from USC but the Norco, Calif., outside linebacker said Sunday at the Palo Alto NIKE Camp that he already has many offers that mean a lot to him.
"They're just saying they want to see me move more in my practice and I totally understand that," Starr said of the USC coaching staff. "I don't know where it's at right now. They said they're pretty sure they're going to offer but I guess they want to see me in person.
"USC is not the only school I'd like to go to. If USC does end up offering that's cool but if they don't that's fine. It's not going to make a difference on how I feel about recruiting."
Article Continues Below
Arizona, Arizona State, Boise State, Cal, Colorado, Nevada, UCLA, Washington and Washington State have offered Starr, a 6-foot-3, 225-pound prospect who was one of the best at his position this past weekend in Palo Alto. Rivals.com rates him No. 110 in the 2012 class.
"(The camp) was fine," Starr said. "I just wanted to come out and have a good time. This was the first time I had a chance to get to a camp. I just wanted to come out here and compete with the best.
"I'm just enjoying the recruiting process right now. I'm not pushing for any other offers. I'm letting it come to me because if the school wants me they'll make their approach with me."
Notre Dame, Oregon, Florida and USC are the four main programs involved with Starr, who said he believes all of them are highly interested and maybe if one offers then more could soon follow.
"I think some of the major schools are just waiting to see who pulls the trigger first," Starr said.

Cintia Dicker, hot ginger Brazilian supermodel in little bits of lingerie? Okay, where do I sign up? The sextastic redhead, with the almost unfair blue eyes, is the kind of woman you just hoped and prayed existed even before you ever saw her. Her buxom hot body a sight that has been turning boys into men since the dawn of time.
Cintia Dicker blessedly took the opportunity to pose her fleshtastic for Aerie Lingerie, proving once again that hot girls look damn hot in bras and panties. I know, it's a somewhat controversial statement, but I stand by it, even as my gaze remains locked upon the ridiculously hot Cintia Dicker in little silky things. Enjoy.

Exercise in Futility: Pressing the Button to Cross the Street
"You push the pedestrian walk button, the light changes, you cross the street," writes Danielle Grobmeier. "But around downtown Dallas, hitting that button does nothing."
That's because "[nearly] all of the 200 traffic signals operate on a pre-timed system — meaning a signal changes over the same time every time, regardless of congestion."
The problem, however, is that even those pre-timed systems don't work, and the city has little of idea of what is, or is not, working. To make the case for how this current state of crosswalk technology is impacting the lived experience of the city's downtown, Grobmeier shares the story of an intersection adjacent to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science—one of the city's flashiest cultural institutions—where tourists and visitors regularly jaywalk on the busy street rather than suffer the protracted wait time for the light to change.

Candidates for Municipal or County Circuit Court judgeships can't make promises about how they would rule on cases if elected to the bench, let alone give their opinion about volatile political issues. To do so would compromise his or hers ability to make fair and impartial rulings as a judge, thus disqualifying them to hear cases they might have previously commented on in the media.
The only thing a judicial candidate has to make his or her case before the voters—especially first time candidates for the bench—is their integrity, not to mention their experience as trial attorneys or county court commissioners. Judicial candidates use these positions to impress enough law enforcement unions, labor unions, defense attorneys and prosecutors, judges and activists to endorse their candidacy. Another important area judicial candidates emphasize to capture votes is their consistent community involvement: sitting on boards of organizations that focus on issues impacting youth and education, the judicial system, the faith-based community, as well as volunteers doing hands-on, grass-roots work "in the trenches."
Judging from his resume', Milwaukee County Court Commissioner and Circuit Court Candidate Cedric S. Cornwall seems to meet those aforementioned qualifications. Cornwall is running for the Branch 32 Milwaukee County Circuit Court bench held by outing Judge Michael Guolee, who will retire this year.
"When you look at my support, it's broad-based," Cornwall said in a recent interview conducted at the MCJ's offices. "I have unions and law enforcement that reflects my background as a court commissioner." Cornwall currently serves as a Milwaukee County Judicial Court Commissioner. Court Commissioners are appointed by the Milwaukee County Chief Circuit Court Judge. As a court commissioner, Cornwall presides over hearings in Children's Court, Small Claims Court, Intake Court, Preliminary Hearing Court, and Traffic Court. He is currently assigned to the Vel R. Phillips Juvenile Justice Center, where he conducts settlement conferences, delinquency hearings and permanency plan review hearings in delinquency and CHIPS cases.
"The Judicial Court Commissioner does a lot of 'up-front' work on cases that, if they can't be resolved by me or other court commissioners are forwarded to an assigned circuit court judge," Cornwall explained. "I've presided over tens of thousands of court hearings, and there have been no complaints by the public or attorneys. I think that speaks volumes," Cornwall said.
A native of Mississippi, Cornwall is a graduate of Marquette University's law school and has been a Milwaukee County resident for 30 years. Cornwall has practiced law in the area for 27 years and was a founding partner in the law firm of Cornwall, Rhiel, and Yamahiro, and a solo-practitioner in a general practiced law firm, where he gained extensive trial experience in criminal, juvenile, traffic, and supervision revocation cases. Cornwall was also the manager of the City of Milwaukee Equal Rights Commission and in the Trial Division of the Office of the Wisconsin State Public Defender.
Such an extensive background and wealth of experience reveals a candidate--in Cornwall--who has a deep commitment to public service, a commitment that started after he graduated from law school. "I'm running for the Branch 32 bench because I want to continue public service to the people of Milwaukee County.
"I'm committed to maintaining the highest standard of professionalism, and I will always strive to give the highest level of respect to those who would appear before me. As a court commissioner, I've made sure everyone who came before me got their day in court and were heard. (As a Circuit Court Judge) I'm going to be fair and open minded." Cornwell added, if elected, he will interpret the law and apply it to the facts of each case that comes before him.
Asked about his chances in attaining the court seat, Cornwall said they were good given the support he has garnered during the last 10 months he has been doing grass-roots campaigning. "I'm fortunate to have volunteers who are committed to the same ideals I have. "I'm confident when the voters hear my background, they will see I'm the right candidate they should vote for. I think I have the judicial temperment and work ethic that voters will recognize and appreciate."

"it was okay"
It wasn't the best that I've heard but the performance was pretty good; didn't care for the ending.
"My happy ever after #Finally"
I love the book I just couldn't get into it at first.It took a while for me to get the character's down.
But near the end in chapters 41 and on down
was very powerful. Tears filled my eyes. #Powerful Yes I was crying real tears👍👍🙏❤😂
"It's slow"
There wasn't any excitement in this book it was a struggle to keep listening. I wouldn't listen to another book
"it's Just OK"
I didn't love it and I'm really not sure about the plot, just a lot of characters and storylines that led to nothing spectacular. The performance was flat as if I was reading it myself. Patricia Floyd usually brings out the spunk in her characters, but maybe it's not her....it's just this story.
