Hollywood actor Rob Schneider would say the Hughes family and the Rochester Road Race go together "like lamb and tuna fish," although it's perfectly understandable if you'd prefer spaghetti and meatballs.
Hollywood actor Rob Schneider would say the Hughes family and the Rochester Road Race go together "like lamb and tuna fish," although it's perfectly understandable if you'd prefer spaghetti and meatballs.
But honestly, what's better than a hometown race for a hometown family – a practical recipe for a memorable day of exercise and fun. Throw in a sprinkling of success for a final touch and you might've just created a masterpiece.
"We always do the Rochester Road Race together as a family," said Mark Hughes, a 43-year-old Rochester father to four (three daughters, one son). "It's something we look forward to every year."
"We've been competing in it ever since the race started," added Mark's wife Marissa, a first-grade teacher at the Center School in Mattapoisett.
Of course, it's easier to keep coming back to a gift that keeps on giving.
And with each passing Rochester Road Race (eight in total), a member of the Hughes family has claimed a trophy in each of the 3.1-mile treks.
From the eldest, 15-year-old Jennifer, to the middle striders, Kate, 13, and Meg, 11, all the way down to the baby of the family, 8-year-old Harrison, each child has experienced victory in their respective age groups. They may be young, but that hasn't stopped them from turning the Hughes brand into a household name. And over the past decade, it's become common knowledge around these parts that those genes can run.
But what word-of-mouth and local racing events have conveyed only begins to scratch the surface. Take a look and you'll find one of the more interesting family dynamics in town: a household of kids who eat, sleep and drink competition, a father who encourages and thoroughly enjoys it, and a mother whose day job serves as a run-through for the real production.
"Competitive?" asks Marissa Hughes, letting out a hearty chuckle. "Even if we're just going down to the grocery store, it's about who can put their seat belt on faster."
"First!" she playfully mimics, shaking her head and rolling her eyes.
Born to run
The initial Rochester Road Race took place in 2006, which Jennifer finished as the top female in the 1-to-12 age bracket. She repeated the feat in 2007 as a 9-year-old and captured silver in 2008. By 2009, the proverbial torch was passed down to Kate, beginning a three-year reign in which she took first in the 1-12 girls division in 2009, 2011 and again in 2012, beating out Meg by just two seconds. (She did not compete in 2010.)
In her absence, Meg was freed to experience a brief taste of victory that only proved to stir the embers, spurning a wild competition between the two that has been on full display for fans of the Marion Mile for the past three years.
"They've been at each other for quite a while now," Chris Adams, the founder of the 12-year-old summer racing series, said with a laugh. "It's been fun to watch. Kate had the lead for a while, but I think Meg has been inching ahead this past year."
Quietly, Adams insists, young Harrison has gained ground on the Hughes pack, repeatedly resetting the Marion Mile records for 8-year old boys this past summer.
Between the four children, Adams explained, the Hughes family carries nearly all the records for the event (seven in total). And while the Tabor cross-country coach isn't short on compliments for the fearsome foursome, their mother is just as quick to volley such praise back into Adams' court.
The racing series, Marissa Hughes said, has provided a platform for her kids to make use of their competitive urges on a healthy stage.
"I just think we live in a great area where we can support our kids," she said. "Chris just gives so much of his time and energy to the Marion Mile. I know it's helped my kids and many others get a jumpstart. It's people like him and Bill and Cindy Tilden, who, whenever they see my kids, are always positive and uplifting. These are people who are just very positive role models. They're great people to have in the community. And at the end of the day, they want what's best for the kids, not for their programs. "It's inspiring."
Walking the talk
"Did you tell him about our backyard soccer games?" Mark Hughes asked, turning to his three youngest.
"We did, Dad," replied Meg, the most outspoken of the three. "We told him about how Harrison hates to lose!"
A burst of innocent laughter exits Meg and Kate's bellies. Overhearing the conversation, Harrison turns his head sharply and sends over a glare.
"He does, he does," Meg continued. "We'll play last goal wins, and if he loses, he gets sooooo mad."
The moment is especially humorous to Meg, whose athletic talents have outgrown the role of lovable loser and secured a spot as the alpha competitor among the group. For the past year, she has dominated her age group as well as her siblings, collecting a clean sweep of the seven-week summer racing series.
Stepping up in competition she took it a step further, showcasing her talents at the 2013 Marion 5K with a second-overall finish in the women's bracket. Five weeks later, she obliterated a 5-year-old record at the Rochester Road Race with the top women's time of 19 minutes, 35 seconds.
Kate finished a highly-respectable sixth, closing with a time of 22:13.
"There's nobody who compares to her right now," Chris Adams said of Meg. "She's been brilliant, breaking all these records at her age. We have only a handful of boys that can beat her, but girls? I've never seen a young girl run this fast in my career."
At 11, LiveStrong.com places Meg in the top percentile in the country for both boys and girls. And while her best mile of 5:48 is 41 seconds off the mark set in 2011 by world-record holder Sydney Tullai, of Canyon, Calif., Meg's 5k times would place her as the top runner on the Old Rochester, Old Colony or Tabor high school varsity rosters, Adams said.
What does the future hold?
While the Hughes' accomplishments are undeniable, the topic of where the trio of young runners will attend high school makes for good debate.
"What coach wouldn't want 'em on their team?" Adams asked.
"They could end up anywhere – Tabor, Bishop Stang, Old Colony…here," Bill Tilden added. "They're still young, and they've got plenty of time to decide."
If the decision stays in the hands of their mother, the answer is firm: "Old Rochester."
"Being a schoolteacher in a public school system, obviously my choice is for the kids to go there," Marissa Hughes said.
But the door to attend elsewhere isn't completely closed. Jennifer, the eldest, currently attends Old Colony and plays varsity soccer as well as club lacrosse.
"She doesn't run anymore," Kate said.
"Yeah, she can't keep up!" Meg joked.
While the choice is still three years away for Meg, who enters the 2013-14 school year in sixth grade, it is a thought that is beginning to weigh on the mind of eighth-grader Kate.
"I think I want to go to Tabor," Kate said. "They have a marine biology program that I'm really interested in."
"Marine biology?" Meg asked.
"You're just saying that to sound good for the reporter," she teased. "You don't even know what marine biology is!"
The two playfully went back and forth, debating the benefits of local schools. Harrison chuckled watching the pair verbally spar.
High school must seem like a long way away for an 8-year-old who'd be content in finally outpacing his sisters – a goal he accomplished half of at the 2013 Rochester Road Race when he beat Kate with a time of 21:39. The mark was 11 minutes faster than the nearest 8-year-old in the competition, placing him alongside his siblings in the top percentile in the country.

Had the package routed to local pickup facility and got it picked up last night. Put it together mostly but had to wait until this morning to get some schrader valve adapters to get air in the tires.
Drivetrain seems pretty much in spec considering my noviceness. Had to true up both brake rotors as they both rubbed pretty bad. But so far so good with the initial ride around the cul-de-sac. Will update again after she gets some trail miles on it.
Behold, FINALLY, some pics of the 16" Hot White w/ curved TT. Looks GREAT in person.
Wife and one of our Huskies had a real TOUGH time helping me put it together
Finished - still have to finalize the front brake line

Chapter 24 : Precautions

|Chapter Reviews: 7
Background: Font color:
Albus went down to the Great Hall by himself for breakfast. His early night had given way to him waking up far sooner than he normally did. It was nice being able to linger over breakfast, though, and concentrate on the upcoming match rather than interact with his friends. As he ate, the Great Hall slowly filled. He had just finished the last of his eggs when the post owls arrived.
Albus observed the owls and didn't recognize any of them. Clearly he was not receiving any post today, which was a good thing because he was fairly certain Longbottom had owled his parents about his detention. But then he noticed a very large owl holding a red envelope in its mouth; it was a howler and the owl was heading toward the Slytherin table. Albus continued watching it and saw it land right in front of Scorpius, who yanked the envelope off the owl's leg and tripped over the bench in his haste to leave the room. Albus actually sympathized with him; it was awful opening a howler in public. From the sound of it, Malfoy didn't quite make it to a loo or empty classroom. Muffled shouting could be heard coming from the Entrance Hall.
Malfoy didn't return to the Great Hall. Albus figured it must have been a particularly awful howler and was wondering what it could possibly have said when his friends sat down next to him.
Malfoy got a howler, John said as he started loading his plate with bacon.
I know, Albus said. Saw him get it.
Well, we heard the tail end of it, John said.
It was awful, Rose replied.
What did it say? Albus asked. Who was it from?
His dad, I'm guessing, John said. It was a man's voice. We crouched down on the stairs when we saw him. Basically his dad was yelling at him for getting in trouble for stupid things when he should be studying and concentrating on his school work and keeping his head down. Then he said something about how Malfoy knows that they, meaning his parents, have far more important things on their minds than worrying about Malfoy getting in trouble in school. And how they can't worry about him at school when they're busy worrying about other things.
That's vague, Albus said. He didn't say what the other things were?
Nope, John said. But Malfoy obviously knows what they are because he was shaking and he ran for the dungeons after the howler blew up.
I told you the letter he read at practice was about something bad, Amanda said.
And now we know it's got something to do with his family, Albus said.
Maybe they're going to join up with Willinson and the Carrows and all them, Matt said. His dad was a Death Eater, wasn't he?
Sort of, Albus said. His grandfather was, but his dad sort of got caught up in it and he got off. So did his grandfather, actually. No one really knows why, but my dad vouched for them at their hearing.
Now that is weird, Matt said. Maybe his grandfather is planning on joining them.
Albus shrugged. Maybe, but it just doesn't sound right. Listen, I've got to get to the pitch. I'll see you after.
Yeah, for detention, Matt muttered. Going to be a blast.
Albus's wish for a long match came true. Since the weather was cooperating, James put off catching the Snitch until Gryffindor was up by 200 points, instead focusing his efforts on faking dives to keep Ravenclaw's Seeker away from the Snitch. It worked, and three and a half hours later James caught the Snitch and won the match for Gryffindor. Albus was sorely disappointed that he'd have to miss the resulting party in the common room, but figured that's what Longbottom was going for when he scheduled detention for right after the match.
Matt was waiting for Albus in the Great Hall and the two of them grabbed a quick lunch before hurrying to Longbottom's office. They spent the next two hours writing 'I will not sneak out of the castle after dark' over and over again. By the time they were done Albus wanted to curl up and take a nap, since the Quidditch match itself had exhausted him. He and Matt decided to spend the afternoon in the Marauder's Den, just relaxing if not actually sleeping.
When they arrived they found John and Kaden in the middle of plotting their new prank. Rose and Amanda were in the library, apparently avoiding John and Kaden and their prank.
Are you two sure you don't want to be involved with this? John asked. It's going to be legendary.
It won't be worth the detentions, Albus said.
Seriously, Matt agreed. If it's legendary it's going to mean a lot of detentions.
Fine, John said.
John and Kaden lowered their voices, but Albus distinctly heard the words 'Weasleys'', 'itching powder,' 'Slytherins,' and 'alarm clocks.' At that point, he really didn't want to know. He and Matt decided to start a game of chess and attempted to tune out John and Kaden's whisperings.
I was thinking the other night and realized if my dad loses his job when Laurentis is elected it's going to be just like Australia, Matt said as he captured one of Albus's pawns.
I hadn't thought of that, Albus said. Does that mean you'd move again?
I don't know, Matt said quietly. I really hope not. I guess I don't think so because the real reason we moved here was so I could go to school, not for Dad to get a new job.
Then you probably won't, Albus replied, taking one of Matt's bishops.
But if he does lose it, it's going to probably mean Laurentis disagrees with him on werewolf issues, Matt pointed out. That could be really bad.
You never know, Albus said. There's other things your dad deals with that they might disagree on.
But my dad's the most vocal on werewolf rights. Everyone knows that, Matt said. If they're going to disagree on something, that's going to be it.
I guess you'll have to wait until the debate, Albus said.
I'm thinking of going, Matt said quietly. It might be awful, but I want to know what she says firsthand, not from the Prophet.
That makes sense, Albus said. When is it?
In three weeks, Matt said. February 15th. That's the only thing; it's the day of the Hogsmeade trip.
That happened last Hogsmeade weekend, Albus said, when Rose went. Sucks that they do that.
Matt nodded. I think I'll go anyway. I mean, it is the Valentine's Hogsmeade trip. Speaking of that, is James still going out with that Hufflepuff girl? I forgot her name.
Gabby Ellis, Albus said. I've no idea, to be honest. I guess we'll find out when the Hogsmeade trip comes.
Just as long as Fred doesn't schedule Quidditch practice for that day again, Matt pointed out.
Albus laughed. He won't. None of us minded too much since the weather was so nice, but I think if he did it again the whole team would hate him.
That would make an awkward family dinner, considering over half the team are your cousins, Matt said.
Family dinners with my family have become awkward by definition, Albus said. Luckily the next one won't be until far after the election.
Only a little over two months to go, Matt said. You can make it.
I hope so, Albus replied, as he moved his queen in the direct line of Matt's king. Checkmate.
Rufus Scrimgeour was the last Minister of Magic to be appointed by the Wizengamot, Professor Embry said as he strolled around his classroom. It was the first week of February and the class had finally gotten to the point where they were beginning to discuss the second war. He was appointed quickly, after Cornelius Fudge resigned.
Minister Fudge is commonly known as the least competent Minister ever to hold office, Embry continued. He refused to believe evidence that was laid out plainly in front of him, for fear of being known as the Minister who held office when Voldemort returned. Somehow, he thought that if he ignored what was right in front of him, it would just simply go away. This backfired, of course, because he is now known for being the least competent Minister.
Scrimgeour is seen in a slightly better light than Fudge, although he was Minister when the Ministry fell to Voldemort in August of 1997....
Albus knew all of this, of course. He'd grown up listening to his parents laugh at the incompetency of Fudge and the pointlessness of Scrimgeour being considered a minister at all. Nevertheless, he listened to Embry and took detailed notes since the essays Embry set were often long and difficult.
The time of the second war was a time of fear and chaos, Embry said as he reached the front of the room again. No one knew what was going on or who to believe. Many people heartily believed Fudge and what he said, believing Albus Dumbledore to be a fraud or even senile. When this reality was shattered for them in June of of 1996, they didn't know what to do or who to turn to, or even what to believe. They'd been fooled for a full year, believing what their Ministry and newspaper told them. Now that they knew they'd been lied to for a year, what were they to do? They didn't trust anyone, let alone the Ministry. Most people's goals were to protect their family and friends and that was it.
It was the fear and chaos that allowed Voldemort and his followers to take control of the Ministry. Without the support of wizarding Britain, the Ministry was weak and susceptible to a takeover. It was simple for Voldemort to slip in and takeover in a matter of weeks.
Excuse me, Professor? Olivia Price said, raising her hand.
Yes, Miss Price? Embry replied. You have a question?
Yes, sir, Olivia replied. I was just wondering, and you don't have to answer, but what were you doing during the second war?
If Embry was surprised that Olivia asked him a question about his personal life, he didn't show it. Instead he gave a slight smile and began to walk around the classroom again.
I don't mind answering that, Embry said. Many of your parents were involved with the war effort, so of course you're curious. When the Ministry fell I'd been working there for about six years. I got a job as an undersecretary in the Department of Magical Transportation when I was just out of Hogwarts and worked my way up the ranks.
I'd received a promotion shortly before Minister Fudge resigned and worked to draft laws, but I quit after Scrimgeour got appointed because I saw that the Ministry was weak and corrupt and no longer wished to align myself with it. After Voldemort's defeat, I was approached by Kingsley Shacklebolt asking if I would like to be involved with rebuilding the Ministry, and I said yes.
Albus was impressed. Embry hadn't mentioned what sort of job he did at the Ministry and Albus had had no idea he had been so involved with its rebuilding after the war.
So you can see why I believe it is so important to educate all of you about the history of the Ministry and how it is organized now, Embry finished. Looks like we're out of time for today so please write an eight inch essay on Rufus Scrimgeour's term as Minister for homework, due next Tuesday.
Albus packed up his bag and headed back up to Gryffindor tower with his friends. When they arrived, there was a crowd around the notice board, which was strange. The Hogsmeade weekend date had already been announced and rarely did other notices garner such a crowd around the notice board.
Albus shrugged at his friends and they squeezed through the crowd until they could read it. It was a large poster, covering the majority of the board, imposing an early curfew Sunday night. Everyone, first through seventh years, were to be back inside the castle by five in the evening, no exceptions. Below that it warned that Filch was going to lock the front doors at exactly five and that everyone was to report to their common room at five-thirty.
That's weird, Albus said as he and his friends retreated. I don't think they've ever imposed a curfew so early before, and for everyone?
It's because Greyback hasn't been caught, Matt said quietly. Sunday's the full moon.
They must think he's going to come back, Albus replied.
Scary, John added. Do you really think he will?
I don't know, Matt said. But I'd bet my parents' whole Gringotts vault that he's going to bite someone Sunday night.
Wait, Rose said. You don't usually go to the Shrieking Shack until six or seven.
They're probably doing it early just to be safe, Matt said. In case some people don't follow it or something. It says on there that the prefects are going to do a head count. That's why we all have to come back to the common room at five-thirty.
Rose nodded. Then you'll have to leave later, after the doors are locked.
Either that or Madam Pomfrey will have me go early, Matt replied. I really hope not, though. I hate sitting out in the Shrieking Shack.
I hope not, too, Albus said quietly.
Albus and his friends were probably the only students who knew the reason why a curfew had been imposed on Sunday. Even the prefects seemed clueless, since Albus overheard a few of them trying to figure it out. More than a few students were angry about it, although Albus had no idea why since it wasn't common for students to take a stroll on the grounds on a Sunday night in February. He supposed they liked the choice, though.
As Sunday drew closer Matt became quieter and even more closed off than he normally was. In fact, it reminded Albus a lot of the way he was in first year, before Rose figured out why he disappeared once a month. Both Albus and Rose tried to get him to open up about it, but he shrugged them off and insisted he was fine. John and Kaden didn't seem to notice any difference in Matt, and Amanda wasn't one to ask about it when he closed himself off.
Saturday's Dueling Tournament proved uneventful. Albus spent the entire few hours worrying about Matt because he had elected to skip the tournament in order to sleep, which was odd since he'd normally at least try to participate. At least Malfoy made Albus's life easy by remaining quiet throughout the tournament and not blaming Albus when the team came in third place. Albus himself won both of his duels, as did Malfoy.
On Sunday Albus and his friends spent the day in the Marauder's Den, working on homework and playing games. Matt slept for much of the day and he still wasn't saying anything. While Albus was worried, he was fairly certain the reason Matt was so quiet was Greyback. When a quarter to five rolled around, they had to return to Gryffindor to prove they were in the castle. Matt was still asleep, so Albus told everyone else go to on ahead and that they'd follow.
Matt, Albus whispered as he shook his friend awake. We've got to go back to the common room.
This is stupid, Matt muttered. They're counting everyone to make sure no one gets attacked by a werewolf when they've got one living in the castle.
Is that why you've been so quiet this week? Albus asked as Matt got up. He didn't reply. You and Greyback aren't the same.
I know, Matt said as they left the room. The corridor was empty, so he continued to talk. It's just the fact that we're both werewolves. That's the same. What if they start doing this curfew thing every full moon, all because of me?
They won't, Albus said. You're not dangerous because you're in the Shrieking Shack. It's all sealed up.
I guess, but it's still possible.
You and Greyback are different because he wants to bite people. He purposely transforms near people, not on Wolfsbane, so he can infect people. You hide yourself away to protect everyone. That's a huge difference.
But what if he does come to Hogsmeade, Matt continued. He'll hear me howling and know there's a werewolf in the Shrieking Shack and he'll try to get in.
But he won't be able to, Albus pointed out.
And then if he does bite someone, and let's face it, he will, Matt said. It's going to look bad for all werewolves. All it'll take is a few attacks and people will start believing we should have our rights taken away. That's what happened in Australia.
You're getting ahead of yourself, Albus said as they reached the common room. Right now you don't know that any of that's going to happen. Wandering banshee.
You're nearly late, the Fat Lady said as she swung her portrait open.
Albus and Matt climbed inside and found the common room the most crowded they'd ever seen it. Prefects were milling about attempting to get everyone to quiet down, but everyone was still trying to figure out why such an early curfew had been set. The room was so crowded that Albus and Matt couldn't find the rest of their friends and since being in a crowded room was not the best idea for Matt right before the full moon, they quit searching and instead sat down near the dormitory doors.
Everyone, quiet, please! Heather announced in a magically amplified voice. The room finally quieted down. I know you're all upset about the curfew but they haven't even told us prefects why it's been imposed. It's not that big a deal since it's February, dark, and freezing outside. None of you would be outside anyway. Now just remain quiet while we take roll so we can all get downstairs for dinner. After we're done you'll be allowed to roam the castle until your normal curfew.
Heather began calling out names in alphabetical order by year. It took her fifteen or so minutes to get to the fourth years and after that Albus tuned her out. Fifteen minutes after that she finished and all the Gryffindors had been accounted for. The common room emptied out quickly, since everyone wanted to get to the Great Hall for dinner. Matt had fallen asleep and after Albus prodded him awake, he went up to the dormitory to sleep until he had to go to the hospital wing.
When Albus and his friends returned from dinner Matt had already left for the hospital wing. They decided to just stick around the common room since it was fairly empty and spent the evening working on their essays for Professor Embry.
Any chance you lot know why we're stuck inside? James asked as he snagged the last chair at Albus's table. Cedric, Ben, and I are asking everyone.
Albus exchanged a glance with Rose. He supposed it couldn't hurt to tell James the reason why, just so long as he didn't tell him why they knew. Of course, as soon as he told James it would spread around the castle like dragon pox at a wizarding nursery school, but again, that wouldn't really hurt anything.
We've got a hunch, Albus said. Remember how Quinn Gregory saw Greyback on the grounds during the Quidditch match?
Yeah, James said.
Well, tonight's a full moon, Albus said. Put it together.
James was silent for a moment and then his eyes grew big. You think Kendrick thinks he's going to come here tonight?
That's our guess, Albus said and his friends nodded.
Makes sense, James said. Can you imagine what kind of trouble Kendrick would be in if someone got bitten by a werewolf on the grounds?
Albus didn't want to think about it. He doubted Matt wanted a companion in the Shrieking Shack.
Scary, James said, thinking about Greyback transformed while wandering around the grounds. I wonder why they didn't just tell us. No one would be angry about it if they'd told us the reason.
Probably didn't want anyone to panic, Albus said.
Guess so, James agreed. But still, everyone's going to know now. He grinned and then got up to go find Ben and Cedric. The fact that the curfew was due to Greyback would be common knowledge in the castle within ten minutes, Albus guessed.
Albus managed to finish his essay and decided to call it a night shortly after. He didn't feel like talking, not with the possibility that Greyback was either running around the Hogwarts grounds or setting himself on some unsuspecting village, wanting to infect small children with lycanthropy. It was awful to think about. Albus laid awake for hours, trying not to think about it, but try as he might, he just could not push the thought from his mind.

Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit 2.0 advice sought
I would be interested in hearing any suggestions/experiences using the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit.
Which apps should be added to the app list?
I have Win 7 Ultimate and am not running any "legacy" programs of which I am aware,
I'm just getting started using EMET.
The concept of EMET impresses me but I'm interested in real-world, practical experiences with EMET.
thanks, karl

Thanks for the links. I didn't know that Shawn had written a tutorial on it.
Despite all of the reading I've done aqt the MS sites, I still find there are too many unanswered questions from the user's perspective.
I don't use IE so haven't encountered ie9 problems.
Will start adding some apps and see if it complains.
With "system" set to max, so far I've had no problems, although have some peculiar behaviour using JouleMeter from research.microsoft.com but that could very well be due to the "alpha" level of that program.
I like the idea of the joulemeter and it does show the influence of varying monitor brightness on power consumption, although I don't trust the numerical accuracy of the wattage values.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1
Haven't seen any problems with it since using it, other than having to uncheck EAF (Export Address Table Access Filtering) for Dropbox, as it wouldn't let it run without that unchecked.
Some of the processes I have it configured for atm.
Here is a little email I shot off to them a month ago about some questions I had. You could always send them off something just like I did and see if you can get anymore info on it.
I'm just starting to look into using EMET 126.96.36.199 for myself on my personal Windows 7 x64 system, and I have a couple questions regarding the Configure System settings.
For instance, when choosing the Maximum Security Settings which lists as:
DEP Always On
SEHOP Application Opt Out
ASLR Application Opt In
Why is SEHOP listed as Application Opt Out? Does this mean that no processes will be using it? Should it be set to Opt In to be used by processes?
Also, if choosing one of the Configure System settings, does this apply to all processes and .exe running at any given time? If so, why does it not show any of the running processes marked off under Running EMET on the EMET GUI?
Or does one have to add each process under Configure Apps section also?
Any clarification on this would be appreciated. Thank your for your time.
Hello Aaron,
Application opt-out means that the application will opt-in always unless it explicitly says it does not want to have this mitigation.
Please note ASLR opt-out is not present as an option by default (please refer to the user guide in order to have that option) since it has some compatibility issues with some programs.
EMET also provides some extra mitigations such as Mandatory ASLR, EAT Filtering ,etc. In order to opt-in applications into these you have to configure them through the GUI. Please refer to section 2.3 at the User guide for detailed steps on how to do this.
Thank you,
Fermin J. Serna

All of the programs I added to the emit list work perfectly, I didn't need to un-check any of the protection options.
On a side note though, I did have to leave hardware dept as 'opt-out' since leaving hardware dept as forced caused my computer lag. Well, opt-out is better than opt-in, at at least now all my apps (cept a few core system processes) use hardware DEP (they didn't before.)

Mileage claim botched
The mileage claims made by automakers play a key role in a multibillion-dollar industry that deserves close government scrutiny. But what happens when the regulators fall down on the job?
The federal Environmental Protection Agency has failed consumers with its abysmal handling of a controversy involving the fuel efficiency of some recent Hyundai and Kia vehicles.
The EPA won't tell the public specifics about the problems involving auto mileage estimates from the two automakers.
The EPA also won't comment when asked about how well the annual fuel economy standard tests are overseen by the government these days.
Finally, it's extremely disappointing that environmental groups had to pressure the EPA for many months to even do its job and check into complaints about lower-than-expected mileage for certain vehicles.
The entire episode amounts to a shocking dereliction of duty by the EPA.
For decades, the America public has come to believe that the EPA essentially endorses whatever mileage statements are made by General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda and other carmakers.
But the controversy involving Hyundai and Kia tarnishes those two companies and the EPA. Plus, other major auto manufacturers such as GM are left to wonder whether the public will now distrust their estimates, too.
So were the recent errors honest mistakes? No one knows because the carmakers have not disclosed exactly what might have gone wrong.
Another problem: The EPA reportedly does not hire an outside expert to randomly check vehicles on the accuracy of their stated mileage claims using the same test that apparently brought to light the latest problems.
So much for being a public watchdog. In this case, the EPA seems more like an apologist for bad behavior by parts of the auto industry.

Enhance Efficiency, Gain Control and Save Money with ECM
Are your most important resources being managed efficiently and securely? The Human Resources (HR) department maintains records for the most precious part of your company–people. Paper-based records stifle this information-intensive division. Enterprise Content Management (ECM) enhances record-keeping efficiency, increases security for compliance control, and saves you money. ECM enables you to:
Electronic Records Improve Efficiency
The amount of information flowing into HR is continuously increasing. From the moment a position is created or becomes available until well after an employee is no longer with the company, detailed information must be documented, archived and accessible. PaperVision® Enterprise and ImageSilo® are ECM systems from Digitech Systems that enable you to quickly convert paper records to electronic documents, improving your efficiency while managing employee services.
"People are the key asset of a company that is capable of growth and development. Though a company does not have absolute power over this asset, they can make use of certain tools and techniques to better control the records of this segment. The concept is known as Electronic Human Resource Management (e-HRM)."
—A Chamaru De Alwis E+M Economic Management
Enable Accessibility while Maintaining Control of Security
Whether paper or electronic, personnel records must be archived and protected. Federal and state laws require records retention while maintaining employee privacy. At the same time, it is important that information be accessible quickly. ECM makes controlling information security effortless by safeguarding information and allowing secure accessibility.
"Generating more than 2,500 finance and HR documents each month and 10,000 student records each year, the Adams County School District 50 uses ImageSilo to increase efficiency across three departments, to improve space usage and to save personnel resources. "We have saved space without burdening our IT staff. If other districts really knew how much they'd save, they would do it; the system more than pays for itself."
—Sandra McClure, Director of Finance, Adams County School District 50
Reduce Costs and Save Money by Outsourcing
Storing paper documents and managing information across multiple systems can be costly and time consuming. Save money with ImageSilo, cloud-based ECM, because it doesn't require any Information Technology (IT) resources, which provides a lower cost of ownership.

text: Been searching the forums and seems to be quite a bit of different opinions regarding ditching an amp and going direct. What I would like to do is as follows. Have one setup for my Double Bass, Electric bass and acoustic guitar. I am hoping to run the electric bass to a powered speaker through my eden wtdi and hoping to get an acoustic preamp that could run double duty with the double bass and acoustic guitar. I would like to run these into something like the EV ZLX-P12 or the TS Also TS-112A. Any thoughts on to whether this is a terrible idea? anyone here doing something similar? Will I be losing that much by doing this vs using something like an MB150 and then having another dedicated acoustic amp for my guitar? All thoughts are appreciated and thanks for any input Cheers Mikey

The Ultimate Investor's Guide to the Dividend Payout Ratio
Now that my book Get Rich with Dividends is a bestseller, I've had a lot of requests to be interviewed by the media. And the first question the host always asks me when I mention a dividend-paying stock is, "What's the yield?"
I don't blame them. That's usually the first thing most investors want to know. And it is important. If you're going to achieve your financial goals by investing in dividend-paying stocks, you do need a decent yield.
But more important than the amount you're getting paid is the likelihood that you're going to get paid at all…
That's where the dividend payout ratio comes in.
The payout ratio is the percentage of earnings that's paid out in dividends.
For example, if a company has $100 million in earnings and pays out $50 million in dividends, the payout ratio is 50%. It pays out 50% of its earnings in dividends.
The payout ratio formula is simple:
Dividend Payout Ratio = Dividends paid/Net income
A Balancing Act
As an investor, you want to get paid as high a dividend as possible. However, as a long-term investor, you don't want to get paid so much that the dividend is unsustainable.
For example, if a company paid out 100% of its earnings in dividends and the next year net income falls, the company may have to lower its dividend. That would likely send the stock price lower and disappoint shareholders who rely on the dividend for income.
But if last year, a company had $100 million in earnings and paid out $50 million in dividends, for a 50% payout ratio – and this year, earnings fall to $80 million, it could still pay out that $50 million in dividends (or even raise the dividend if the company chose to).
To ensure that the dividend is safe, I look for stocks that have a dividend payout ratio of 75% or lower.
Let's look at an example from The Oxford Club's Perpetual Income Portfolio.
Kimberly-Clark (NYSE: KMB) earned $1.8 billion in the last 12 months and paid out $1.1 billion in dividends for a payout ratio of 61%.
An investor can feel fairly confident that the dividend will be paid even if earnings fall since the company has only paid out 61% of its earnings in dividends.
Cash Flow is King
Now, that you understand the idea, let's take it one step further. We're going to use the same concept, but instead of using earnings to figure out the dividend payout ratio, we're going to use cash flow from operations.
Cash flow from operations is a more accurate gauge of a company's ability to pay dividends. You see, earnings have several non-cash figures in the formula. Things like depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation are accounting tools that affect net income but don't represent actual cash that the company is earning or paying out.
Cash flow from operations removes non-cash items and is a more accurate indicator of how much cash the company took in over the quarter or year.
The formula for the payout ratio is the same. Just substitute cash flow from operations for net income. [Note: "Dividends paid" and "cash flow from operations" are both located on a company's "Statement of Cash Flows."]
Dividend Payout Ratio (using cash flow) = Dividends paid/Cash flow from operations
Using the Kimberly-Clark example, cash flow from operations is $2.6 billion, dividends paid is $1.1 billion (same as above) and the payout ratio using cash flow 42%.
So you can see that Kimberly-Clark paid out just 42% of the cash it took in from operating its business, giving it plenty of room to grow the dividend (as it has for 40 years in a row), even if earnings and cash flow decrease.
How Safe is the Dividend?
Here's another example of why you should look at cash flow rather than earnings when determining the safety of the dividend.
Over the past 12 months, Taiwan's United Microelectronics (NYSE: UMC) earned NT$10.6 billion (NT$ = New Taiwan Dollar) and paid out NT$14 billion in dividends. That sounds unsustainable. The company is paying out over NT$3 billion more than it earned.
But when we look at its statement of cash flows, we see that cash flow from operations was NT$41.6 billion, in large part due to over NT$32 billion in depreciation and amortization (non-cash expenses that lower earnings).
So when we look at the dividend payout ratio based on cash flow, it's a very reasonable 34%.
The payout ratio, particularly using cash flow, will give you a good idea of how safe the dividend is.
A strong dividend yield is great, but it hardly matters if it's not safe. Now you know the first question to ask when researching dividend-paying stocks.
Good Investing,
Editor's Note: Along with the article above, Marc provided Investment U Plus readers with a large-cap energy stock yielding just under 5% with a dividend payout ratio from cash flow below 20%. Along with many energy stocks, it's dirt cheap, too. Its P/E is below 7 and its trading at just 1.2 times its book value. He sees the recent weakness as a major opportunity to get in to an incredible stock with a very healthy yield.

Beastie Boys (Grand Royal/Capitol Records) 1995, photo by Ari Marcopoulous
First in a series, this is a selection of mid 90's hip-hop publicity / promo photos (all black and white) sent out by record labels to print media, radio and television.The labels that sent them out these press packages in the years 1994 and 1995 included MCA, Mercury, Profile, Priority, WRAP/Ichiban, and such Relativity distributed labels as Ruthless and Lifestyles.The ten artists featured range from the iconic such as the Beastie Boys to the lesser known hip-hop acts as female rapper K-Nock whose 1994 album on WRAP Records Escape From Quad City was her only album released. Hence the publicity photo for her and the press release/bio that accompanied it was likely the only ones made for this artist. Also noteworthy is that the mid 1990's was a still a (pre digital download) period when the music industry was in a healthy state with ample extra dollars to put into promotion and publicity. Not only did record labels, both major and independent, send out advance promo CDs/records/tapes/videos but they were typically accompanied by nicely presented press packages: stylized folders with one or more professionally staged, glossy publicity photos, along with an in-depth bio and artist press clippings.

The first three minutes of "Weapons" are easily the most memorable part of the movie. The opening credits play out over slow-motion footage of a character eating a cheeseburger, and even though the action is mundane, the scene is dreamlike, almost hypnotic. And then, a horrible act of violence takes place, and the camera doesn't flinch from one bloody second of it. It's a cheap shot, in more ways than one, because nothing in the rest of the movie comes close to being this provocative or shocking.
As the title suggests, the film shows the cycle of gun violence as it plays out among a group of teens living in what I would describe, kindly, as lower-class suburbia. The plot is non-linear, and the movie is divided up into several segments, each with its own black and white title card. Comparisons to Tarantino are far too obvious, and not really deserved. "Weapons" bears more of a resemblance to the films of Larry Clark, with its hopeless teens who just want to get high and get laid, and don't care much about the consequences.
The first segment features three white trash homeboys sitting around smoking dope. One of them has a black eye from a fight at a party the previous night, so the three immediately rush out to settle the score. One of them shows off the shotgun he keeps in the trunk of his car. But before he gets a chance to use it, they're abruptly the target of gun violence themselves, and by the end of the segment, one of them is dead.
The second segment is about Reggie (Nick Cannon), who finds out his younger sister was raped at a party the night before. He and his friends immediately set out for revenge, planning to shoot and kill the accused rapist. After a bizarre and bloody encounter with a gun dealer (Arliss Howard) in a hotel room, Reggie finally gets his hands on a gun. But when he finds his target, Reggie can't go through with it. Alas, as the segment ends, we learn the cycle of violence will simply find a way to go on without him.
The promotional materials would have you believe that all of the movie's segments turn out to be connected in a surprising way. But it's pretty clear by the end of the second segment how everything is interrelated. The remainder of the film is concerned with the events of the party the previous night, rewinding the clock several times to let us see those events from multiple viewpoints. Eventually, the Tarantino and Larry Clark comparisons fall by the wayside when one realizes this is a teen version of Gaspar Noé's "Irreversible", complete with a brutal rape, a non-linear story, and various other similar plot points I won't spoil. Suffice to say, both films feature a scene where a guy is beaten in the face with a fire extinguisher.
This is writer-director Adam Bhala Lough's second feature film, and he obviously has talent and lots of potential. The shakycam, handheld approach never distracts from the story, and the naturalistic (some might say amateur) performances and improvised dialogue only add to the vérité feel. While the movie was on, I found myself completely absorbed in it. The problem is, the moment it was over, all I thought was, "Okay… next?"
Replaying events from multiple viewpoints is a powerful storytelling tool, with the potential to deliver big surprises and twists. But that never really happens in "Weapons". Each time the same events play out, we learn something new, but it's never a revelation. The movie never tries for anything great, memorable, or profound. Ultimately, it's an unremarkable few days in the lives of unremarkable (and unlikable) characters.
Like many an indie film, the acting is all over the place, from first-timers to seasoned professionals like Arliss Howard, who evidently thought this was a big Hollywood movie, because his acting style completely clashes with the laid back tone of the rest of the cast. And Nick Cannon clearly doesn't have the chops to pull off a role like this. As he cries over his little sister being raped, it couldn't be more obvious that his tears are a special effect courtesy of the makeup guys. This story may have been better served by an entire cast of unknowns.
"Weapons" premiered in competition at Sundance back in 2007, where it earned a lot of negative reviews, as well as a multimillion dollar distribution deal. That deal apparently fell through, because the movie is just now arriving on a direct-to-DVD release. That's about what this film deserves, and it may be a worth a rental, at least, to those with sufficiently low expectations.

Primark sounds warning over rising cotton costs
Irish-founded fashion chain Primark became the latest high street retailer to warn over rising costs as it battles against higher cotton prices and tax hikes.
Primark parent Associated British Foods said full-year sales and profits at the budget clothing group were expected to be "well ahead", but added that increases in its costs and looming VAT changes would put margins under pressure next year.
AB Foods is also fighting against soaring wheat prices at its food arm, which includes Kingsmill and Allinson bread company Allied Bakeries.
Primark's caution over the cost of cotton and freight expenses follows similar news from retail giant Next last month.
Cotton prices are running at 15-year highs as global supplies have tightened following the devastating floods in Pakistan - the world's largest cotton grower.
Retailers are also faced with having to pass on higher VAT charges as governments act to cut their deficits.
Primark is being hit with tax increases in its two main markets, with Spain having already implemented its increase and the UK set to follow with a rise to 20% in January.
But AB Foods said: "The market has remained very competitive in the second half with high levels of promotional activity, and much higher wheat costs seen in recent weeks will put pressure on margins next year."
Primark was founded by Irish businessman Arthur Ryan, who built the business from a single Penneys store on Mary Street in Dublin in 1969 into a chain with 122 stores in Ireland and the UK with £140m profit.

text: Hi everyone, Im praying that someone will be able to help, spent about 30 hours trying to get my iphone to work again. I have a iphone 4 and was using ios4.1. I had saved my SHSH with tinyumbrella. My phone was jailbroken with greenposion I tried to do an upgrade through itunes to 4.2 but something went wrong and my phone would only have a white screen. I then tried to do a restore back to 4.1 I have managed to do a restore back to 4.1 from a downloaded apple ipsw but when i turn the phone on i only get the usb/itunes logo and a message saying a restore is needed. On itunes it says that there is no SIM in the device. I read somewhere that i should re-jailbreak the phone. I did this with RedSn0w 0.9.6rc7 and the phone will boot to a clean install, trouble now is that i cant make any calls. In the settings section I have no phone number or basband. Using f0recast V1.2 i get an error starindex cannot be larger than length of string. Parameter name :starIndex but f0recast gives me a serial number and model number but baseband and bootloader are blank. Jailbreaking again with greenpoison did not work. I have 4.1, 4.2.1 and a custom 4.1 from snowbreeze with me (i cant do a factory restore from itunes as im on a satilite internet connection). Does anyone have any ideas as im at my wits ends! Thanks in advance

An extraorbital extension of orbital IgG4-related disease. This 60-year-old man presented with visual field defects in the right eye during a one-month period. On examination, his best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 OD and 20/12.5 OS. Humphrey 30-2 threshold perimetry on his right eye showed an inferior altitudinal defect. He had 4 mm proptosis in the right eye (a). Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and orbits with gadolinium showed infiltrative lesions in the right inferior orbit, infraorbital nerves (b), and also in the orbital apex and cavernous sinus (c). Clinical findings and imaging studies suggested compressive optic neuropathy. He had an elevated level of serum IgG4 (223 mg/dL; normal range: 4.8–105 mg/dL). Biopsy specimens showed lymphoproliferative lesions with IgG4-positive plasma cells and focal sclerosis (d). These findings were consistent with orbital IgG4-related disease with an extraorbital extension.

NEW YORK -- The NFL Network has taken control of the
regional networks run by the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers as well as a fledgling one being set up by Atlanta.
In return, the teams will get items for local use from the
networks, which conducts shows that includes all 32 coaches.
The decision was made at last week's meetings in Maui, Sports
Business Journal reported Monday. It was approved by a vote of
The NFL Network began broadcasting in late 2003 and has had
increasing control in recent months in broadcasting league events,
ranging from announcements of the Hall of Fame vote to live news
conferences from league meetings.
Commissioner Paul Tagliabue had previously placed a moratorium
on adding regional networks, although the Cowboys were allowed to
keep running theirs because it had already started. The new league
move does not "grandfather" in networks only in existence.
Sports Business Journal reported there are still talks between
the Cowboys and the NFL as to whether that network will keep
Jerry Jones Jr., the club's vice president of marketing, said the Cowboys support the resolution.
"We are working with Comcast and the NFL to determine how and where to broadcast that content in the future," he said. "Those potential options include designated windows of exclusive Cowboys programming on the NFL Network and full-time access to video on demand options through Comcast."

Learn Basic French Phrases With The New Rocket French Software Free Trial
March 11, 2011
More and more people in the United States and all other the world want to learn how to speak French. In fact, statistics reveal that thousands of Americans are employed by French companies, and millions of Americans are said to speak French in their homes.
March 11, 2011
- Gonesse, France - The Rocket French Software team announces a new survival kit, plus a new 6 day trial offer for each best selling software.
More and more people in the United States and all other the world want to learn how to speak French. In fact, statistics reveal that thousands of Americans are employed by French companies, and millions of Americans are said to speak French in their homes.
French is the only foreign language considered to be a global language, alongside English. It comes just after English in popularity, and it is used in the US, and in many parts of the globes. People speak French in the five continents.
Furthermore, French is the official language of several international organizations like the United Nations, UNESCO, apart from English.
When you know that the French language hold so much importance around the world, you understand why many considered the French language to be the language of the future.
However, it's not really easy to learn French, and many people start, but never become good at it. That's why Marie Claire created Rocket French.
Most French courses have one thing in common. They contains a lot of information, and will definitively help you to learn basic French phrases and beyond. The only thing is that many people find them boring.
"Motivation is the key to progress and if a person slips, it will be very difficult to get the motivation back, which is precisely why I think that learning a new language should be fun, and not just another daily routine", says Fabrice, LearnFrenchExpert.com owner.
"Today, most students and adults want to speak French because of the romance. It gives you something that others don't have. Speaking French gives you the magical French touch", says Franck.
What is in the Rocket French course?
* You get 13 hours of audio lessons (33 Interactive Audio Lessons in total)
* 7 practical topics (with basic French words, including the greetings, meetings, travel, friends, shopping.)
* 31 French Language Lessons (with more than 1500 audio clips + quizzes)
* 31 French Culture Lessons
* The Game software (excellent to learn more vocabulary and have fun while learning)
* Total Access to the Rocket French Motivation Center (you'll discover proven techniques to become fluent two or three faster than with any other method)
"I feel that others, like myself, who are looking for the basics to learning French, can gain this by using Rocket French! They can expect to learn fast, with its fun and easy way of learning French! And with the visuals and sounds that they provide, you are better able to speak in the native tongue of French", says Kari Ann, from Canada.
There is a saying that in order to truly understand the culture of a country, it is important to know the language. France not only has a rich history, but the American society is highly influenced by its culture.

The end of the world?
Quoting shannonnigans:
Without trying to sound snarky, how much time do you think we have? What evidence do you have of this, or is it simply a faith thing. Again, not trying to be a jerk, but I can't let it go without asking....
Quoting toomanypoodles:
I believe the Biblical accounting for the end of the world. read the prophecies that have already been fulfilled---we are getting closer to the end-times.
We can't know the hour of Christ's return, but there are plenty of prophecies in the Bible that have already been fulfilled. Some prophecies surrounding Israel must unfold before the return of Christ, but what we hear on the news is sure pointing in that direction.
You may be interested in studying what the Bible has predicted---and make some judgments on what you learn. It's quite amazing.
The reason we can trust biblical prophecy is that it, like the rest of Scripture, was written—literally "God-breathed"—by the Creator of the universe. It is inerrant, perfect, and true. We must understand that before we can understand the role of biblical prophecy. (Please see: Why is it important to believe in biblical inerrancy?)
Biblical prophecy plays two roles. It foretells the future, and it explains what the positive or negative results of future events will be. Prophecy may announce events that bring joy and pleasure or fear and foreboding. When prophecy is ignored, it is usually because the hearers don't like what they hear for one reason or another. Biblical prophecy is not usually general in nature. It normally is very specific as to how it will affect someone or something. But it is always dependable and worthy of our complete trust. We can allow prophecy to help shape our lives, giving us direction and guidance in serving our Lord. It should be a source of strength and instruction for us. Unlike what we hear called "prophecy" today, both in the church and outside the church, true biblical prophecy is always accurate and precise. What God prophesies always occurs.
The prophecy of the Flood in Genesis 6 is an example. God explains His reasons for the flood, gives specific instructions for Noah to build the ark to preserve lives, then produces this first great worldwide catastrophe. God even prophesied that He would never do it again, in Genesis 9:12-16. Joseph's dreams in Genesis 37:5-10 contain prophecies which came to pass in chapter 39 through the end of the book. Deuteronomy 18:18 says, "I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him." This prophecy, pointing to Moses, also foreshadows the Jewish Messiah, our Lord Jesus, and is quoted in Acts 3:22-26. It's in this same chapter that we're told (Deuteronomy 18:20) what was done to false prophets in Moses' time. If their prophecy was false, they were executed. Isaiah chapter 53 contains a compelling prophecy of Jesus Christ: His youth, His ministry, His sin-bearing and suffering, and His offering of Himself. Psalm 22 gives us another prophecy of our Lord's suffering, couched in a description of King David, Christ's foreshadow.
In our Lord's own prophecies, in Matthew 24, He spoke of wars, famines, earthquakes, persecutions, apostasy and betrayals, and finally of His own return, unexpected and widely rejected today. This and other end-time prophecies are as dependable as Noah's warning of the Flood. Similar predictions of catastrophic events still to come are found in 2 Peter chapters 2–3, together with a prediction (2 Peter 3:7) of God's intervention. And in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Christians are promised a rescue or a resurrection appointment, whether we're alive or dead. Biblical prophecy provides us a roadmap of the future. To fail to understand these prophecies of the rapture is to miss one of the greatest gifts of God.
Finally, since we can trust John 3:16, that God loves us and gave us His Son, surely we can rely on Him as Author of biblical prophecy to predict, to encourage, to direct and provide for our future physical and spiritual needs. Our Lord said, in John 14:2, "In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you." And that should be a prophecy of assurance and encouragement for all Christians. So place your trust in God's prophecies, just as you placed your trust in His Son.
Recommended Resource: Understanding End Times Prophecy by Paul Benware.
Revelation 4:1 introduces a section of Scripture that details "things which must be hereafter." What follows are prophecies of the "end times." We have not yet reached the tribulation, the revelation of the Antichrist, or other "end-time" events. What we do see is a "preparation" for those events.
Jesus said that the last days would be preceded by several things: many false Christs would come, deceiving many; we would "hear of wars and rumors of wars"; and there would be an increase in "famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in diverse places. All these are the beginning of sorrows" (Matthew 24:5-8). Today's news is full of false religions, warfare, and natural disasters. We know that events of the tribulation period will include all that Jesus predicted (Revelation 6:1-8); current events seem to be a build-up for greater trouble ahead.
Paul warned that the last days would bring a marked increase in false teaching. "In later times, some will abandon the faith, and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons" (1 Timothy 4:1). The last days are described as "perilous times" because of the increasingly evil character of man and because of people who actively "oppose the truth" (2 Timothy 3:1-9; also see 2 Thessalonians 2:3). The list of things people will be in the last days—lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power—(2 Timothy 3:1-2) seems to fit our modern age exactly.
Can there be any doubt that the prophecies concerning apostasy are being fulfilled? Our 21st-century world has embraced moral relativism, a philosophy which is tainting even the church. For example, many denominations are having a hard time defining marriage as being between one man and one woman, and many religious leaders today are openly supporting homosexuality. The Bible has become subordinate to the modern church's quest for a more appealing "truth." These are indeed "perilous times" spiritually.
The formation of the European Union—and the fact that we have a reunified Germany—is very interesting in light of biblical prophecy. The "ten toes" of Daniel 2:42 and the ten-horned beasts of Daniel 7:20 and Revelation 13:1 are references to a "revived" Roman Empire which will hold power before Christ returns. Although the precise political structure has yet to be formed, the pieces can be seen as falling into place.
In 1948, Israel was recognized as a sovereign state, and this, too, has ramifications for the student of Scripture. God promised Abram that his posterity would have Canaan as "an everlasting possession" (Genesis 17:8), and Ezekiel prophesied a physical and spiritual resuscitation of Israel (Ezekiel 37). Having Israel as a nation in its own land is important in light of end-time prophecy, because of Israel's prominence in eschatology (Daniel 10:14; 11:41; Revelation 11:8).
While there is no biblical proof that the things mentioned above are the fulfillment of specific end-times prophecies, we can see how many of these events are similar to what the Bible describes. In any case, we are to be watching for these signs because Jesus told us that the day of the Lord—His return for His own—would come like a thief in the night (2 Peter 3:10), unexpected and unannounced. "Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man" (Luke 21:36).
Quoting shannonnigans:
I'm sorry I asked. However, to be fair, I actually read what you posted, though I don't believe in it. Nothing there beyond vague generalizations that could and have been said about other times by prior generations. I know you believe it but it does t change that it's faith and only faith.
And were said by every single generation since the beginning of time. Everyone thinks their time is the time, thankfully they have all been wrong.
Quoting UpSheRises:
Because they announced they read the calendar wrong we we still have like another 2000 years to go.
Or at least i read that on the internet at sometime in the last year.
Thats what I read.
How far you go in life depends on your being: tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of both the weak and strong. Because someday in life you would have been one or all of these. GeorgeWashingtonCarver
How convenient for "them" to have discoverd this just in the nick of time! ;)

A born and raised Wilmington woman turns 101 Friday. Isabelle McGowan was a first grade teacher for 35 years. She can remember when the schools were segregated and when there were hardly any cars on the road. She said in her 101 years, crime has increased and children have lost respect for their elders, but on the positive side, she is happy to see America elect an African American president. She shared some tips on living a long and happy life. "Just live right. Serve the Lord, trust him. Be good to people. Love people. Which I do, I love people," she said. Isabelle said if she lives one more day or 20 more years, she will be happy because she knows it all in the Lord's will and she knows where she'll be going.

If you have a good memory, you might remember me saying in my first inspiration post that my family expects a church wedding. In this case, my family = my mom. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue—we are practicing Catholics. But when you combine that expectation with the fact that Mr. Milk Cow is Jewish"¦it makes for some pretty interesting wedding plans.
Jewish wedding vs. Catholic wedding / Left photo is from Wikipedia, taken by user Bachrach44 / Right photo is from Allori Photography
To avoid this dilemma, Mr. Milk Cow and I initially decided to have a non-religious ceremony. When I told my parents our plan, my mom was really disappointed and asked me to consider at least having a priest come say a blessing. I said I would be open to talking to a priest about it, so my mom offered to call our church and get more information.
The next morning, my mom talked to the church secretary, and she learned that the church actually has special processes in place for interfaith couples, including Jewish-Catholic. I had never heard of anything like this before, so I spent a few hours with my good friend Google to see what I could learn. (If you're not interested in Catholic-Jewish marriages, you can just skip to the bottom at this point, because this is a little detailed and long.)
An interfaith Catholic-Jewish wedding, presided by a deacon and a rabbi / Photo by Photography by Janine via A Practical Wedding
A Catholic wedding is only considered to be a valid marriage and a sacrament if it takes place in the church (either on its own or within the celebration of mass) and is conducted by a priest or a deacon. Unfortunately, this meant that interfaith couples in the past would either sacrifice one of their faiths and get married in the church, or choose to have their own non-Catholic ceremony and not have their marriage acknowledged as valid by the Catholic church. Luckily for the Milk Cows, the church has made some changes for different interfaith marriages.
Interfaith couples need to do a few things to have their marriage considered valid by the church. The couple needs to find a priest or a deacon willing to work with them on this. He will help with marriage prep, co-officiate or say a blessing at the ceremony, and make sure all the paperwork required by the church is in order. The couple will need the priest to help them get a "Dispensation from Form," which is granted by the bishop in that area. This gives the couple permission to hold their wedding ceremony at a neutral location and still have it acknowledged as a valid marriage. Then, the couple will need to find a Jewish officiant to lead the ceremony since priests and deacons cannot perform weddings outside of the Catholic church (but they can say a blessing or be a co-officiant).
This is the Dispensation from Form paperwork. It may vary slightly depending on your diocese, but this is a good example. / Image from DocStoc
The Jewish standards are a little looser, as long as you are a Reform or Reconstructionist Jew (like Mr. Milk Cow is). Jewish weddings are not supposed to take place during the Sabbath, which rules out the normal Friday and Saturday night weddings (unless you wait until the sun goes down on Saturday). A rabbi or a cantor can officiate, and you can be married pretty much wherever you want—outdoor weddings are accepted and popular, which is very different from Catholicism! The cantor in Reform Judaism helps lead worship, teaches in the Jewish community, officiates at life-cycle events, and more. From what I've seen and experienced, cantors tend to be a little more flexible and willing to participate in a less-traditional wedding ceremony than rabbis, although this is not always the case.

Once you get through all the background and logistics, you're left with the ceremony itself. A lot of the components in the ceremony are up to you and your officiants to decide—some may request certain elements be included, while others may leave it up to you. In our experience so far, neither faith puts any restrictions on your ceremony content. As Mr. Milk Cow and I go through the process, we're learning more about both sides and how to make them work together, so I'll have more details to share as we go along.
Did anyone else not know about interfaith weddings? Anyone who is in an interfaith wedding have advice to share?
