By Elinor Comlay
MEXICO CITY, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto will ask the country's Supreme Court to rule on the powers of the country's new telecommunications regulator, as broadcasters and pay television providers battle over free-to-air stations.
Mexico's government last year passed a constitutional reform that established the regulator, the Federal Institute for Telecommunications (IFT), and new rules aimed at increasing competition in Mexico's television and phone markets.
This week, one of Mexico's two main broadcasters, Grupo Televisa, obtained a court ruling that said the IFT did not have the power to decide on one of the new rules known as 'must offer, must carry', which obliges pay television services to offer free-to-air channels.
The President will request the Supreme Court "decide and confirm the full powers" of the IFT, spokesman Eduardo Sanchez said.
"So-called must carry and must offer...is an essential part of the constitutional reform," said Sanchez.
Satellite company Dish Mexico said last week the regulator should declare broadcaster Grupo Televisa a dominant company, to increase competition.
Dish Mexico, a joint venture of Echostar Corp and local media company MVS, is already broadcasting free-to-air television channels from Televisa and TV Azteca.

So if the weather is good and you are close by, it might make for a wonderful little trip and you can grab lunch at The Greenery restaurant right at the entrance to Odgen Canyon. I have been there twice while visiting family and it is a great shop. Not affiliated.


text: The 1st time I went to get one of my 35mm films developed at the local shop, I made enquiries about B&W film and developing costs. It turns out that now colour is the more prevelant format used, B&W developing is more expensive.(Plus as I live in a small town,the roll would have to be sent away for developement) I have got round this so far by shooting on C41 film, but it lacks the definition and tone that I want, and depending on where you get the shots developed, can have a coloured hue to the results. I'll be sending off my B&W films in the future to an online service to get them developed, but this is an imperfect solution. As I am on a very limited budget, I think it would be more cost effective in the long run to set up a basic B&W darkroom at home, but am clueless about where to start! Please can anyone suggest an online site that explains everything an idiot (er....that would be me!) ~would need to know?? The equipment required....and the process itself! Basically everything! Thank You! Richard

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Endogenous Respiration,
Because of its both positive and negative impact on health and well being and possible distortions of its relevance, I believe it is important to better understand the pros and cons from both a health AND a personal growth and well being perspective.
Firstly and most simply, a basic fact.
Transport of oxygen into a cell is controlled by the partial pressure
of oxygen at the surface of the cell. Since air is about 21% oxygen and
the normal (barometric) pressure of air is 760 mm of mercury, the
partial pressure of oxygen is then 0.21*760 or about 160 mm. Increasing
the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere surrounding the cell will
thus increase the partial pressure of oxygen (as when breathing pure
oxygen) as will increasing the total or barometric pressure (as when
breathing compressed air).
Is this good or bad?
It depends. And it also overlooks the law of mass action.
One of EBs primary purposes is to train you to NOT be uncomfortable with less breathing. Sort of increase your toleration of carbon dioxide or train you to be comfortable even during periods of shortness of breath. To breathe creating more internal lung blood pressure and make smaller the air bubbles thus concentrating the oxygen that does go into the blood.
The issue is HOW does the oxygen get into the cells?. What is the impact on the nervous system during the breathing process? There is both an emotional as well as biochemical impact. When I practiced it using my favorite Endogenous Respiration (EB) Trainer (an excellent method when being trained properly in its use, which may require a human guide), I was at first enthusiastic and actually excited about developing EB to the max. But after a few days of training I began to notice a constriction inside myself that felt like someone or something was not allowing me to completely relax. My focus was better but my ability to let go of that focus had been limited. I was always a little too �on�.
For some this extra focus and oxygen and nervous system adjustment can be even life saving because their emotions and or energy swings were so low or swinging widely that restoration of any aspect of homeostasis can be quite helpful. The keys will be the cross over points where this style of oxygenation stimulates the nervous system beyond healthy emotional connection in to sense of self barriers.
So I suspect that excessive endogenous respiration can add to a healthier life but with exceptions; and not necessarily extend it. Though I may find adamant opposition to this opinion by ERs most staunch proponents.
Would I do EB via the training device again? If I got real sick or felt rundown for some reason I could not attribute to stress or nutrition or lack of exercise? Probably.
Would I use it as a sports trainer? Perhaps because properly used, it DOES improve efficiency. The question is where is the cross over period where efficiency is robbing one of internal process and inviting accessory breathing system reduction of coordination? Where is it that we become driven instead of the driver?
Well, some �fierce competitors� just do not care about that. But that is their choice and they should at least understand that they pay a price for that, including probable shortening of their potential life span. For more about this please refer to an article called Sports Induced Breathing Problems. It basically states that any competitive sports that requires gasping and breath heaving is another way to accelerate a shortened life span.
Strictly speaking, our red blood cells are the major transport vehicle of O2 into your body. Endogenous breathing (EB) helps to increase blood pressure in the lungs and concentrate the O2 in your red blood cells.
Buteyko, one style of Endogenous Breathing training, is an approach to handle asthma. I believe it causes too much shortness of breath stress and does not value development of the natural breathing reflex and positive emotional balance stemming from that. My experience tells me that asthma stems from excessive high chest breathing and a weakened breathing foundation in the lower torso and pelvis. A key part of optimal breathing is not underbreathing, rather balanced breathing. It is faster to achieve and accomplish without creating discomfort from breath holding
I believe that excesses of EB can lead to an excess of physical constriction and a lack of deepest inner peace. A tendency to do, do , do. Optimal breathing on the other hand which includes a balance of appropriate endogenous respiration as well as natural breathing reflex development will both enhance and extend calm and recovery.
There are many other ways to effect varying percentages of EB without having to cause breath holding stress and constriction. Some forms of movement and breathing such as certain Yoga postures, Qigong, modern dance, the Ab Doer, or Pilates come to mind. But there are harmful stress crossover points with all of these so our special way of training may well be a good way of quantifying and developing this internal gas exchange cellular function aspect for many in need of better breathing.

wikiHow to Use the Mini Uzi in Call of Duty
The mini-uzi is a great weapon for street battles and for one on one combat fights. Knowing how to use it effectively can definitely rack in a lot of kills.
1Attack up close. You need to remember this is not a long range gun, this is one of the worst guns you could use in a long range battle. It is best used in enclosed spaces with little places to run.
2Conserve your ammo. This gun can really chew up some ammo if you're not careful. Get an M9 with this gun because they share bullets.
3Use a scope. This gun is best if you have the red dot scope on it, this way, the shots are more accurate and about every bullet is perfectly placed. The silencer is also a good one for a ghost or ninja-like class.
4Sneak up. This gun is not loud, so don't be scared to take on large groups. This gun can also be used to get in, kill enemy, get out and heal up!
5Don't go head to head with someone. This gun is better if you attack from behind so they can't shoot you. This gun fires fast, but the M16's bullets do more damage.

This is one of my favorite terrariums. It has some of my favorite things, my Begonia Rajah, a Fairy and it's a terrarium I keep on my African Violet stand.
I hope the pic is ok, terrariums are so hard for me to capture with the camera.
The Fairy Catcher...
Very nice MsC! Cute fairy and I love that begonia!
Thanks Lin,
It's prettier than my pic, but I'm not a good photographer..lol
I'm going to try to take a few more pics...I've created several new terrariums lately.
LOL, I am not a good picture taker either! I have to take 50 or more pic's and lucky if one of them comes out half way decent! I swear it's the camera and not my eyes. And, not my shaky hands holding it either! ^_^
Oh, yes .. please post some more pic's! We need to get this terrarium forum back up and busy again! I haven't made a new terrarium in a long time, might just have to put one together tomorrow!
Thanks Lin,
I think I'm gonna have to get another shelf... I have so many plants and terrariums I need more room..lol of course I guess I could just go to Plantaholics Anonymous, but that's NO FUN.:)
Hee Hee ... Plantaholics Anonymous! Love it. I know none of us could stay away from plants for long though ... We would be back in rehab within 24 hours! But, plants and gardening is a good thing to be addicted to.
ooo How neat MsC..after hearing you talk about this over on the av forum I had to come check it out..I Love that! I have seen some really neat terrarium ideas posted from Both Lin and Gail along with many others..lol..I have alot of plants growing in mini terrariums..just single plants tho..lol..I do have an aquarium I purchased with a lighted hood this past year but I still have it in the box..I need to get busy..lol and get it planted : )
cedarnest you should try it. It's so much fun and I think the plants love them. It takes a lot less work too! Of course I like the creative & decorative parts.
If we can help let us know...
I am definitely going to try it MsC..I just love the cute things you can add to the Terrariums..time to unbox my aquarium..lol..
Go a head give it a try.. I laugh at myself cause I rearrange them alot..it's kinda like playing doll house when we were kids...except it's more fun with plants..lol
I am so glad you renewed this forum. I started 3 single plant terrarium ( one begonia vietnam, and two venus trap). How you do prevent dirt from falling onto the plant when you put in the soil inside the container? My venus trap snapped its traps when the soil fell on it. I prefer to see the traps open.
Critter, that is so pretty!
Thanks Sally! I saw a couple of your underwater arrangements I just loved!
Please post them here too....
That's lovely...have you tried doing one for the AV shows??? I've seen some picks in the AVSA magazine that are amazing.
Sorry, that is the wrong picture, ha. No violet there....
I can't wait for next year. I will have lots of violets to choose from and blooms too. This year I was VERY limited, not many plants and THEY did not have many blooms! I just wanted to participate and learn.
Those are both beautiful! Love the colors.
I don't have a club close enough to join, but if I did I'd sure join one.Not so much to show, I admire that aspect of it and go to most of the shows in the area but I just like to grow AV's & gessies.
I have grown some really large AV's that probable were good enough to enter but definely not blue ribbon winners. I keep a plant of Tiger just to grow one huge plant, the rest I try to keep less than 10 inches. I started collection the Semi's cause I can fit more on the shelves, they also fit in my terrariums and do very well there. Kinda double function.
sally i was looking at your underwater arrangements--that is something new to me--please tell me a little about it
Plano, another Texan!
I love water and glass.. Underwater arrangements can be VERY complicated or SUPER EASY! All are lovely.
I am in the African Violet club and we have several areas we can enter arrangments. You can even make a mobile with violets. This is for the annual show.
One area is underwater, all with violets and a little of other plants, rocks, etc.
Using a frog is good, but I also use the sticky flower stuff that sticks a tiny stem in the frog and keeps it there. Tiny rocks hid the frog. There are rules in the show. No plants can touch the sides.
I love to sink whatever kind of flower into the frog and cover with water. Distilled water keeps the color well.
Here is a pretty way to have a flower under water also. Flower aquariums.
i remember having a rose in water that was a gift --it seemed like the rose was dipped in wax--does that sound familiar?
No wax in these. BUT, I have done that! WOW, years ago... I had forgottten all about that. Looks like china when you dip them.
yes--did look like china!

Garry Kimble said he will look to make changes to his Witham Town side when they look to bounce back tonight from their first defeat in the Ryman League premier division.
Witham host Wingate and Finchley at the Village Glass Stadium on the back of a 2-0 defeat at VCD Athletic on Saturday.
That was their first loss since stepping up to the premier division and boss Kimble is demanding better from his players.
He said: "They have to stand up and be counted and make sure they aren't just going through the motions.
"You can't afford to have five or six players having off days at this level.
"I was most disappointed with the manner of the defeat and I'll look to change personnel for the Wingate and Finchley game.
"People coming in have to show that they want the shirt.
"The desire is there, but some of them looked very tired and leggy.
"That is a worry at this stage of the season.
"I know we've played Saturday-Tuesday for the past few weeks, but maybe we need to change the personnel.
"Not wholesale changes, but I will be bringing in a couple.
"I may also look to bring in a couple of new signings to bolster the squad after what I saw at VCD."
Kimble said he had no injury concerns for the game against Wingate, but it kicks off a testing run of fixtures for his team and he wants to see them show the belief they need to stay in the premier division.
He said: "We've got some tough games coming up as Wingate are top three, Billericay are going well and we've then got (leaders) Margate.
"We'll really see if the team have the character to bounce back and we'll be making sure they aren't just going through the motions.
"We're not panicking but people need to know the reality of what it takes to stay in this league."

In the first episode of this two-part series, Boris Johnson travels to France, Spain, Egypt, Israel, Syria and Turkey to investigate the early beginnings of what some people now call 'the clash of civilisations.' This is the idea that the two historically opposed religious cultures of Christianity and Islam are locked into a never-ending cycle of mutual antipathy, distrust and violence.
Is this really true? There have been many 'clashes' between Christianity and Islam in the period Boris Johnson examines in this series, 632 to 1492. But the real historical picture is far more subtle, interesting and optimistic than the clichés of a clash of civilisation might suggest.
This first programme looks at the early history of Islam; the extraordinary series of conquests that gained for it half the territories of the old Roman empire in just 80 years; the rich and sophisticated civilisation Islam produced; the relationships between Muslims, Jews and Christians; and the background to the crusades.

So we had to take this to our Human Resources department and let them handle the next steps. Our Human Resources manager met with the manager of the employee involved and they admitted the situation. I thought they might try to claim they should be okay doing this since it was on their own time, but the person readily admitted their indiscretion and pleaded for leniency. While this could be grounds for termination the managers decided to put this person on probation. I made sure to let our PC tech know that we have to be professional and that this situation was not to be discussed with others, and I trust our staff to handle things properly.
Years ago we had a similar situation where a staff member had dozens of pictures of himself nakid on the computer. Similar situation to the one above, we had to fix the computer and our tech noticed the pictures. I almost laughed out loud when they told me. Sometimes I am just amazed at what people do with their computers. I mean, how stupid can you be.

Not the flu vaccine, but I have had a flu vaccine. I've never had the standard annual vaccination, even though at some points I've been entitled to receive it free on the NHS (because of working in healthcare). However, last year I volunteered for a study and had two doses of one of the swine flu vaccines (it was double-blind, so I don't know what I had).
This year, I have given at least 50 flu vaccinations to other people (who were entitled to it on the NHS due to their age, or having certain medical conditions). I prefer being on that side of the needle! That said, I think I will have the flu vaccination in the future, when I'm entitled to it again. I've had flu twice, and it's horrible

Yes, I've gotten it every year for the past few years or so. I just got the shot last week as well.
Last year, I got both flu shots. I'm one of the people who doctors tell to get the shot, I think because of a drug I take which suppresses my immune system.
When I got the 2 shots last year, I did it by appointment and it ended up costing me $130! Previous years, it was just free in the hallway of the hospital and I happened to be there so I got it. I did that this year too. If it wasn't free, I don't think I'd get the shot. Or, I'd at least try to get it for less (maybe I'd spend $20, but not $130). I had the flu once (I think) over 10 years ago and it was pretty bad. But, I don't really worry about it or think that I'm prone to getting it. Partly, I do it because it's considerate thing since it means I also wont infect others.

I'm surprised you haven't been getting it. I think in the US most medical workers get the flu shot. I suspect it may be required or just something that is highly recommended to them. I think it's because they are more likely to get exposed and more likely to spread it if they get it. I bet they generally get it for free, though.

As far as I'm aware, I don't qualify at the moment because I'm not employed by the NHS. I was offered it when I was last working, but although I spend all of my time in he NHS as a student, I'm not actually working for them. We were all offered the swine flu vaccination last year though (for free). NHS workers are certainly not required to have the flu vaccination, though I can't see why it shouldn't be a requirement (bar medical exclusions) since clinical staff do have to prove that they're immune to Hepatitis B, chickenpox, measles, mumps and rubella.
I could pay to have it at a pharmacy (which is what my Mum has done for the last few years) which is pretty cheap (about £9), but I never have.

Yes, I typically get the flu shot each year but NEVER again. I have been terribly sick for the last three weeks after the 2010 shot. I'm convinced the reaction was from the H1N1 component. I'm still not 100% back to normal but my joints are much better and most of the swelling is gone.

Yes. I have had in the past. I used to get the flu so bad it would put me down for days and I would get it once a month. The shot did not help. I tried it for about 3 or 4 years and after I heard all the debates about them I chose to not get them anymore.
I do not get the flu anymore. I went natural health and when everyone around me starts dropping like flies, the worst I get is discomfort for no more than a few days. It has been like this for about 8 years now.
For those that continue to get the shot, I urge you to do your own research and think hard about the consequences. Their are other options out there that work.

Not true, if you're immunized against a bug; it just means that you won't fall prey to it (just by having had it before will make you immune) but it doesn't mean that you're not carrying it. You can still be a carrier, spreading it all over just by talking to a person without ever succumbing to it.
(reply to Irene007) posted 20-Apr-2011 6:26am
Well, I disagree.
(reply to bill) posted 20-Apr-2011 6:28am
With which part? The part that if you have had the bug and encounter it again; you will or you won't get sick. And if you've had it and encounter it again, you are or not a carrier?

I stand by my original statement (that you quoted and said was "not true"). Flu vaccines help prevent the spread of the virus. It's not just for your personal protection from getting sick, but it also helps prevent you from spreading flu to other people.
> Go to bed!
but, I just woke up!
(reply to bill) posted 20-Apr-2011 1:22pm
Sick or not, you can still be a carrier of the virus.
(reply to Irene007) posted 21-Apr-2011 8:31pm
Bill's right.
There's a small risk that if someone with flu coughed into their hand, then shook hands with someone who had been vaccinated, that person could then touch someone else and potentially infect them by transfer. However, it would usually have to be a very rapid chain of events as viruses generally don't survive for long away from their ideal (internal) environment. There's some evidence of influenza virus particles lasting a couple of days on some types of surface, but not on skin where minutes would be more typical. The only other way that you could be "carrying" influenza would be if you were infected, and assuming the vaccination has worked (which it doesn't in 100% of cases) then your immune system will destroy any virus particles that you do happen to come into contact with very rapidly and very efficiently. In order to infect someone else you would need to be shedding huge quantities of replicating virus - something that only happens if you have an established infection yourself.
"Sick or not, you can still be a carrier of the virus."
This, I think, is a different point. People can have subclinical infections and be largely asymptomatic. For example, people early in HIV infection or Typhoid Mary, but they're still infected. People can often transmit the flu virus a day or two before they show symptoms but as they won't be coughing and sneezing you are less likely to catch anything from them at that stage anyway. And that doesn't remove the fact that they're infected because they haven't received a (successful) flu vaccination (for the strain that they've caught).
Healthcare professionals and people who care for frail/unwell relatives are usually offered the flu vaccination. Of course, it helps if people in these roles aren't having to take time off because they have flu, but primarily it's to stop them from transmitting flu to their patients. And it works

Why? Because of the 'shot in the dark' prediction of which strain will show up during the flu season?
(reply to Irene007) posted 22-Apr-2011 9:21am
Why doesn't it work in some cases? Sometimes it just doesn't take - maybe there's not a high enough dose in the vaccine, maybe your immune system just doesn't respond as it should, maybe the vaccine you got hadn't been stored correctly, etc - there are plenty of reasons (mostly uncontrollable/unpredictable) that a vaccine might not work.
Predicting the strains that are going to be a problem that year is a different kettle of fish. You describe it as a "shot in the dark" which I think is unfair, given just how well the vaccination programme does work (it wouldn't work very well if there weren't experts out there who were very good at deciding what strains to include in the vaccine that year). I don't know a huge amount about the surveillance programme, but I do know that it's very good at predicting the most prevalent strains, except for when you have something very new showing up (like bird flu).
(reply to Biggles) posted 22-Apr-2011 12:17pm
I got the shot in the dark thing from a report a saw a couple of years ago. They were discussing the difficulties of stocking up on the right vaccine the year before the season sets in. It's still speculating the future based on the present viral trends so they can make a wrong decision.

Studies in the Scriptures
by Arthur W. Pink
March, 1943
�The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear My words. Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it� (Jer. 18:1-4). This is a passage which has presented difficulty to not a few, or probably it would be more correct to say that (in most cases at least) it has been made to present difficulty. Enemies of the Truth have grievously �wrested� these verses and even the interpretations of its friends have not always succeeded in removing the mists which have beclouded the minds of those influenced by error. Because of this and also as we hope to write upon some later portions in this chapter, a comment or two on its opening verses may not prove unacceptable.
Arminians have appealed to this passage in support of their horrible and God-dishonouring tenet that the Creator may be thwarted by the creature, that puny man is able to bring to nought the designs of the Most High. If such a dreadful calamity were possible, then, to be consistent, they should carry such a premise to its logical conclusion, and avow
�The universe He fain would save,Such a blasphemous caricature of Deity is repugnant and repellent to the last degree unto every renewed heart, yet is it one which finds more or less acceptance today in professedly �Christian� quarters. The natives of dark Africa manufacture idols with their hands but the heathen in Christendom fashion a �God� out of their Satan-blinded minds.
But longs for what He cannot have!
We therefore worship, praise and laud,
A disappointed, helpless God!�
A disappointed and defeated God! What a concept! What a contradiction in terms! How can He be the great Supreme if man is capable of check-mating Him? How can He be the Almighty if lacking in ability to carry out His will? Who would render homage unto One who is thwarted by His creatures? How vastly different is the God of Holy Writ, who has but to speak and it is done�who commands and it stands fast (Psa. 33:9)!
Jehovah is no pasteboard Monarch. No, �our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased� (Psa. 115:3). �Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did He in Heaven and in the earth, in the seas and all deep places� (Psa 135:6). �This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul? and His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?� (Isa. 14:26, 27). �I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand and I will do all My pleasure� (Isa. 46:9, 10).
But are there not other passages which speak of God in quite another strain? Suppose such be the case, then what? Why, would these not oblige us to modify our conception of the absoluteness of God's supremacy as predicated in the verses cited above? Certainly not. The Holy Scriptures are not a �nose of wax� (as Papists have wickedly affirmed) which man may twist as he pleases. They are the inspired Word of God, without flaw or contradiction; yet we need wisdom from the Holy Spirit if we are to interpret them aright. �God is Spirit� (John 4:24), incorporeal, and therefore �invisible� (Col. 1:15), �whom no man hath seen nor can see� (1 Tim. 6:16). Must we, forsooth, modify this representation of His ineffable Being because we read of His �eyes� (2 Chron. 16:9), His �hands� (Psa. 95:5) and �feet� (Exo. 24:10)? �He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep� (Psa. 121:4): is that negated by the statement, �Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep� (Psa. 78:65), or because He represents Himself as �rising up early� (Jer. 7:13)?
When Scripture affirms that God's �dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom is from generation to generation: And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and He doeth according to His will in the army of Heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay His hand� (Dan. 4:34,35), are we obliged to place limitations upon such supremacy when we hear Him saying elsewhere, �I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out My hand, and no man regarded; but ye have set at nought all My counsel, and would none of My reproof� (Prov. 1:24, 25)? Of course not.
Then how are we to avoid such an expediency? By distinguishing between things that differ: by discriminating between God's secret will and His revealed will, between His eternal decree and the rule which He has given us to walk by. The latter passage speaks of men scorning the Word of God, which it is their responsibility to obey. The former passage affirms the sovereign supremacy of God over all, whose eternal purpose is accomplished in and by men, not because of their willing compliance but in spite of their enmity and rebellion�as was the case with Pharaoh.
Settle it in your mind once and for all, my reader, that the true and living God is King of kings and Lord of lords, the Almighty, whom neither man nor devil can defeat or successfully resist�for such is the plain and positive teaching of His word. The churches may no longer proclaim such a God. The vast majority of those who still pose as His people may no longer believe in such an One, but that alters not the fact that He is so: �Let God be true and every man a liar� (Rom. 3:4). Settle it in your mind likewise that Holy Writ cannot contradict itself, and therefore if the meaning of some passages are not clear to you, humbly look to their Author to enlighten you�for the obscurity is in your mind and not in His Word.
When Christ affirmed, �I and My Father are one� (John 10:30), He spake according to His absolute Deity. But when He declared, �My Father is greater than I� (John 14:28), He spake as the God-man Mediator. The perfect accord of the two passages is evident when we perceive the dual relationship of Christ to the Father: as the Son and as God-man. In like manner we must learn to distinguish between God speaking as absolute sovereign and as the Enforcer of human responsibility�as the One who deals with men according to their condition.
Now in the verses at the beginning of this article there is not even an apparent difficulty: men must read into it what is not there before they encounter a stumbling stone. The Lord does not affirm therein that He is represented by �the potter� (vv. 5-10 are considered in our next), and if we suppose He is, then we shall be rightly confounded. Jeremiah was sent to a �potter's house� that he might receive instruction from what he saw. While there he witnessed a vessel of clay �marred� in the hand of the potter. Most assuredly that cannot picture man's fall, for his Creator pronounced him �very good� when he left His hands. Nor can it picture the experience of any since the Fall, for the hand of God is the place of safety and not of injury. Further, we are told this potter �made it (the marred vessel) again another vessel.� But God never mends what man has marred, but displaces with something altogether new: the old covenant was set aside for the New (Heb. 8:8), the old creation for a New (2 Cor. 5:17), the present Heaven and earth by a New (Isa. 65:17). Rather is the �as seemed good to the potter to make it� the particular similitude fastened upon (v. 6).�A.W.P.

Denton police are looking for some horse thieves, but they aren't looking for the stolen equines in barns or fields.
Detectives are checking out the metal scrap yards for these colts, which can't get up and walk away.
Someone cut the lock at a rural Denton warehouse and stole two lifelike colt sculptures made of copper and bronze. The sculptures were part of a herd of metal horses that were to be placed at the entrance of the Phillips Creek Ranch housing development in Frisco.
"Unfortunately, I hate to think it, but I think they're taking them to a scrap yard -- cutting them up and taking them to a scrap yard," Officer Ryan Grelle said.
Grelle said each stolen sculpture was valued at roughly $20,000, but thieves are probably interested in turning in the bronze and copper for scrap at roughly $1.70 per pound.
The stolen horses weigh well over 300 pounds.
Anyone who can help locate the stolen sculptures can contact detective Mike Sweet at 940-349-7910. The owners of the sculptures are offering a $1,000 reward for the return of the art pieces.

Demons back to haunt Team Garveys in league
Men's National League Division One
Blue Demons 79
Team Garvey's 63
TEAM Garvey's met their cup final rivals Blue Demons at the weekend in what turned out to be a game very similar to that of their recent cup final. The first quarter was fast, close and filled with spectacular shooting. While Blue Demons opening 22 points was spread between six of their players, Team Garvey's main contributor was team captain Dan Griffin who registered 12 for Team Garvey's while Declan Wall missed nothing from the line.
The second quarter saw Team Garvey's reduce the gap to a single point. Declan Wall opened with a three while Griffin continue to perform and Fitzgerald and Culhane dominated the board but Demons O'Halloran and Rodgers left nothing behind leaving the half time score at 34 to 33 in favour of Demons.
The third quarter was where the game was lost by the St. Mary's side. Blue Demons upped the pace considerably and Garvey's had several turnovers Brian O'Neill hit 11 personal points during the quarter for Demons who managed a series of fast breaks. Garvey's had plenty possession but shots did not fall for them and Demons won the quarter by 18 points.
Team Garvey's came back into form during the final 10 minutes, Daragh Jones made some nice scores inside as did Declan Culhane and Andrew Fitzgerald, Dan Griffin added four more to bring his tally to 27 points for the game and Declan Wall and Brian Clernon finished off the quarter with three's. Garvey's took the quarter but the gap created by Demons in the third period was impossible to bridge. This win puts Demons top of the southern conference table while Team Garvey's are now third in the Southern Conference.
Team Garvey's: Dan Griffin 27, Declan Wall 14, Andrew Fitzgerald 7, Declan Culhane 5, Daragh Jones 5, Brian Clernon 3 and Tom Fleming 2

Waukesha's Hamm bows out of Olympics because of injury
Gymnast Paul Hamm says he did everything he could, but there just wasn't enough time for him to heal.
Hamm told leadership of the U.S. Olympic team he is withdrawing from the Beijing competition.
The gymnastics team leaves next Wednesday and competes for the first time a week from Saturday.
As Hamm tried to speed up his recovery from the broken hand suffered last May, he evidently strained his left rotator cuff.
The athlete from Wisconsin says it wouldn't be fair to the team if he only competed in events his physical limitations allow.
The team needed the gold medal winner to compete on the rings and that is one of the gymnastics areas his rotator cuff wouldn't let him pursue.

Senator Maziarz thanks local veterans who pushed for new law
Today at North Tonawanda City Hall, Senator George Maziarz thanked two local veterans, John Zaleski and Walt Buchalski, for their advocacy on behalf of those who have served their country in the military. The two North Tonawanda residents presented Senator Maziarz with the idea for a new law (Chapter 16 of the Laws of 2011) that encourages municipalities to erect bulletin boards displaying helpful information for veterans in their city, town or village halls. In turn, Senator Maziarz, presented John and Walt with framed "pen certificates" in honor of Governor Cuomo signing the bill into law last year.

we could be starting something here. one weekend, my friends decided to organize a themed cookout night. nothing too fancy, just a get-together at the kman's flat, have a nice meal, and watch some tv.
but someone was only too happy to make the extra effort to give us a great dinner. look what we had.
seafood paella...
and it wasn't enough that we had just one kind of paella. we also had a meat version.
and chips and salsa (my contribution), sliced veggies and chili con carne (it's in the pot below). and so it began...
for dessert, delicious crema de fruta!
so the iron chef award this time goes to the kman. he cooked all that. (pwede na mag-asawa, right? hehehe)
until the next one, iron chef-mates! let's think of more exotic themes. i'm thinking turkish? indian?

According to Cretan myth, Itone was the daughter of Lyctius. She is one of the loves of the Cretan king Minos, who was a great lover with relations with many women. Itone bore Minos a son Lycastus, who became later the successor of his famous father.
Itone -- in old Greek ítéinos, itéiní –- means a willow tree written in the form of a female adjective. The origin of this name came perhaps from this old Cretan word and it had a close link to one of the characteristic features of the Minoan religion: the worship of trees. This Cretan belief was practiced mainly in country shrines where trees like olive trees or date palm trees, but also willow trees, were the objects of worship. They provided the people with fruits, while the willow trees played a certain role in the context with water. This cult was associated in Crete with the divinity of fertility.
The love story between Itone and Minos from which Lycastus was born represented a mythical episode with a symbolic character. This myth was related to the cult of trees, in this particular case to the cult of the willow tree. The fruit of this willow tree was Lycastus, the successor of Minos.
Later on the goddess Athena was connected with the name Itone and as well as with the willow tree. The temple of Athena Polias was built at Itanos in the most eastern Greek city-state of Crete. Originally the name of this place was perhaps "u-ta-no" from the Linear tablets B, by Herodotus mentioned as Itanos (today Erimoupolis, "Deserted Town"). The name of Itanos (ítéinos), which meant a willow tree man, was associated here with one of the nine Curetes.
According to Pausanias the temple of Itonian Athena existed also in Itone (which was located in the central part of Greece) for the general assembly of all Boeotians. There the statues of Itonian Athena and of Zeus were created by Agorakritos.
Concluding, we have to note, that this mythical event about Itone and Minos as well as the name Itone, which originated from the old Cretan word and belief, was reused probably for the new purposes under the Greek Olympian religion. Due to this reason the willow tree became later on associated with the goddess Athena and this goddess took also (beside others) the surname Itone.

Vin Diesel Finally Talks About Another Riddick Movie Again
by Alex Billington
March 10, 2009
Source: GameSpot
It was last August when Vin Diesel promised that we'd see at least two more Chronicles of Riddick movies. We haven't heard too much since then, though in the meantime, in addition to starring in Fast & Furious, Diesel has been helping develop the popular Riddick video game series. Diesel spoke with GameSpot recently about the latest game, Assault on Dark Athena, and gave them a much needed update on the status of another movie. "Maybe we're too tight-lipped about the next Chronicles of Riddick film, and I think circa the release of [Dark Athena] that's probably when you'll start hearing more about [it]."
"It is underway and I almost think it's a coincidence that we haven't heard anything, that there hasn't been a lot of public stuff on the Riddick movie," Diesel says. Maybe that's because Universal wants to keep quiet until they're ready to reveal details? Will it be yet another Hollywood reboot? The 2004 sequel, The Chronicles of Riddick, made only a measly $58 million at box office, meaning it was a huge failure for Universal. It obviously makes some sense that they're a bit hesitant to move forward on yet another sequel. But Diesel says David Twohy is finishing up the script and once it's ready, they'll take the next steps.
Although I didn't love Chronicles of Riddick as much as Pitch Black, and although I don't play the video games, this is a sequel I'm actually looking forward to seeing. Maybe it's just because I love the character. And maybe because I know Universal won't make the same mistakes they made with Chronicles of Riddick this time around. David Twohy wrote and directed both Pitch Black and Chronicles, so maybe if they bring in another writer to help polish his script, we'll get a better movie in the end. Based on the response that last August's article has been receiving, it's obvious that fans really do want to see more Riddick. Do you?

text: Man, this makes me sick. I've been trying to avoid hearing anything about this. This is where I saw my first (of many games at old Tiger Stadium) MLB game. Reggie Jackson was playing for the Angels. I was like 5 or 6 at the time and my love of baseball and Tiger Stadium grew from there. At least I have my seats from there to look at, but I wish they could have figured out a way to keep this standing. Sad day.

Washington Wizards Coach Randy Wittman had plenty of reason to be disappointed with his team after a 96-95 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night. Trevor Ariza's rushed, air-balled three-pointer from the left corner as time expired was somewhere at the bottom of the list.
At the top was a collection of players who resisted Wittman's efforts to give them guidance and direction, pouted over playing time and shots, got wrapped up in the emotion of poor play and weren't committed on the defensive end.
Wittman's point guard was busy throwing passes to the wrong team. His starting front court was ineffective. And his team trailed by 16 points late in the third quarter against a team that arrived at Verizon Center on three-game losing streak. Still, despite those shortcomings, Ariza went on an improbable, one-man run and scored eight points in 49 seconds to put his team in position to win. But his final shot attempt came up short and the Wizards walked off the court, dejected and despondent.
"It didn't boil down to that," Wittman said of Ariza's shot. "We got what we deserved. We didn't deserve to win that game. We were more caught up in ourselves as individuals than the team. That's the bottom line. We got guys that haven't been in the rotation, complaining. The older guys trying to help them, they won't listen. And that just tells me: 'I'm worried about myself. I'm not worried about winning this game.' "
The Wizards (18-38) had their three-game winning streak snapped and lost for the fourth time this season — and sixth consecutive game overall — to the Pistons. They knew before tip-off that they wouldn't have Nene on their side, but as the game unfolded, they realized that they would also have to find a way to do it without John Wall playing at his best.
Mired in a recent shooting slump, Wall made several careless passes and the offense was stagnant with him running the show. He finished with just six points on 3-for-9 shooting, committed seven turnovers and was outplayed by his backup, A.J. Price, who led the team with eight assists and scored nine points.
Wall has struggled from the floor in his past six games, shooting just 30.8 percent (20 for 65) from the floor. In three of the five games, since the all-star break, Wall has committed at least six turnovers. After the loss to Detroit, Wall said he didn't have any problems with his left knee or any other health concerns.
"No health at all, just trying to play basketball and do my best to help my team win," Wall said.
Assistant coach Don Newman spent considerable time speaking to Wall as he tied up his shorts and adjusted his knee pads in preparation for the start of the second half. Wall nodded and assistant Jerry Sichting patted him on the back.
But the pep talk didn't go very far, because 30 seconds into the third period, Wall drove into the lane and had the ball poked away by Pistons forward Jason Maxiell. His final turnover came later in the period, when he drove inside and threw a pass that was too fast for Emeka Okafor, leading to a layup by Pistons point guard Brandon Knight on the end.
"They were great passes. It was just, some teammates couldn't catch them and some got tipped away," Wall said. "Just got to deal with it."
Nene was forced to sit after a sore right shoulder injury that he suffered last week suddenly became too unbearable. He watched the game from the end of the bench. The Wizards' vaunted defense, which ranks eighth in the NBA in efficiency, suffered without Nene as the team allowed the Pistons to shoot 54.2 percent. Knight led all scorers with 32 points and former Georgetown star Greg Monroe had 26 points and 11 rebounds.
"We wasn't ready to play as a team," Ariza said after scoring a team-high 22 points. "We didn't play like we've been playing and in the NBA, you can't do that. To lose any game, period, is tough. To get swept is even tougher. Tonight wasn't a good night for our team."
Wall gave the Wizards a 62-57 lead when lowered his head and drove to the basket, but Knight scored 10 points during a 21-2 run for the Pistons. After Wall's botched pass to Okafor (15 points, five rebounds), Wittman called another timeout and replaced Wall with Price, but Knight added a three-pointer to give the Pistons a 78-64 lead.
Okafor finally silenced the run with a dunk, but Calderon fed Maxiell for an alley-oop dunk and the home fans started to boo.
"It's bizarre to me," Wittman said. "They didn't want to be coached. It was more about playing time and shots, rather than: 'What are we doing as a team? And how am I playing when I'm out there?' It's my job to decide who is deserving of playing out there and that's what I'll continue to do and that's the only way I believe. And if you can't handle that, you don't agree with it, that's what you get — a game like tonight. It wasn't about the team. That's what's disappointing."
Calderon ran the Pistons' offense with precision, handing out 18 assists and scoring just six points. He had a layup that gave the Pistons a 96-87 lead with 69 seconds remaining. Ariza made two three-pointers, then stole a pass from Calderon. Pistons reserve Will Bynum was called for a clear-path foul, giving the Wizards two free throws and the ball with 12.3 seconds left. Ariza made both free throws and Wittman drew up a play for Bradley Beal (16 points), who drove, then dished out to Martell Webster. Webster batted the ball to Ariza and he rushed a three-pointer than barely touched the net.
"We didn't do a good job against them at all this year," Price said of the Pistons. "As a fan of the game, student of the game, they outplayed us. And [Wittman is] right, they outplayed us. He's right, we didn't deserve to win, but it would've been something if we did win."
