Little is Much
Today's Daily Bible Reading is from Proverbs 17:1-7. In this Scripture, we are reminded that it is better to have a dry morsel of bread, and have peace and quiet, than a full house of sacrifices with strife.
A wise servant will have rule over a child that causes shame, and will have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD tries our hearts.
A wicked person listens to lies; and a liar listens to a naughty tongue.
Whoever mocks the poor reproaches their Maker: and those who are happy about calamities will not go unpunished.
Grandchildren are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
Excellent speech does not become a fool: neither does lying lips become a prince.
We are reminded in this Scripture that it is better to have a little and live in peace than to have a lot and live in strife. Many times we put so much emphasis on getting things that it causes strife in our homes. The truth is we would be happier and live more peaceful with less.
We cause ourselves so much stress trying to keep up with other people. If we would learn to live within our means we would be happier and not be so stressed out because we are having trouble making ends meet.
Have you ever known somebody who never seemed to be content? They seem to always want something and are never satisfied no matter how much they attain. Have you ever noticed the more you attain the more responsibility you have to take care of it all. Don't get me wrong, I like nice things, but sometimes we never seem to be satisfied.
"But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content" (1 Timothy 6:6-8).
This Scripture reminds us that if our basic needs are taken care of we should be satisfied. But, for many of us that is not enough. We are always striving to attain more. Why can't we learn to be content with what we have?
Daily Bible Reading:
Proverbs 17:1-7
1 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
2 A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.
4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
5 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
6 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
7 Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
Things to think about:
- Why is it better to have a little and peace than a lot with strife?
- Who tries our hearts?
- What is the crown of older people?
Prayer of the Day:
Dear Heavenly Father,
As we read and study this Scripture in the book of Proverbs we are reminded that it is better to have a little and have peace than to have a lot and live in strife. Help us to be content and grateful for what we have. Help us to live peaceful lives. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

The Book of Esther: A Story of Love and Favor
(Daily Bible Reading Series Book 2)
by Deborah H. Bateman
About the book:
The Book of Esther: A Story of Love and Favor by Deborah H. Bateman is a Daily Bible Reading study of the book of Esther from the Old Testament of the Bible.
In the book of Esther, Esther was adopted by her cousin Mordecai. In a series of events and through fasting, prayer and God's favor Esther was placed in a position to save the Jewish people. Esther was adopted by her cousin Mordecai, who told her maybe she was born for such a time as this.
God puts us all in circumstances where He can use us to further His kingdom and give Him glory, if we are willing and obedient. Esther found her purpose for life. Like Esther you were born for such a time as this.

Farmville Haunted House
October 6, 2010 by USA Post
Farmville Haunted House, After playing FarmVille over a year – one thing is certain. Holidays are the best time of year in the game because there are lots of holiday-themed items, and at least one of them you said "I gotta have it!" To me, this year, this is the new FarmVille Haunted House, which was published a few farmers before it was disabled due to a glitch.
If you get the Haunted House, you know it is a constructible point and you will need to collect building materials to complete your claim mansion, where you will be able to afford to farm cash or collect your neighbors Farmville. (Note fast side – this building has a large footprint (3.5 x 2), so you'll need to clear eight plots to make it fit in your farm.)
The Haunted House can be implemented three times – disturbing, scary, and chilling – and you need bricks, nails and wood planks for each step. Here's what you need for each stage:
Step 1 (Eerie): 8 bricks, nails, boards
Phase 2 (scary): 10 bricks, nails, boards
Phase 3 (shudder): 12 bricks nail tips
If you do some quick match, which means you'll need 30 of each item – so you get the best collection. Another tip – you can also use the special delivery packages you may have stored to help you do the job faster.
Once the haunted house is complete, you will be able to collect candy every 24 hours and you'll be able to collect sweets from the haunted houses of your neighbors every 24 hours as well. The amount of the booty of candy you will depend on the level of the house.
Candy 1: Eerie
Scary: 2 Candy
Chilling: 3 Candy
To date, the haunted house is always off in the game and the few lucky ones who have hung in the beginning he was able to get to work. However, do not let that stop you from collecting all the nails, planks and bricks you need – then the haunted house once again shows you're ready.

text: My husband and I brought home a child 26 years ago. Unknown to us, and to the birth mother at the time, the birth father was part Choctaw. Both birth parents agreed that we should be allowed to adopt this child. It took 2 l/2 years for the adoption to be finalized because at some point, the birth father's Choctaw was discovered and the application process had to go through the Bureau of Indian Affairs. At any time during the process, either one of the birth parents could of changed their minds and taken our baby back. We lived in constant fear that this would happen. There was no deceit involved on anybody's part. Here is my take on this...nobody seems to care about the adoptive couple that are reaching out to adopt a child that is being given up for adoption. They are portrayed as evil and selfish. The birth parents have all the rights, can be deceptive, and can simply change their minds and cause many people much pain. This law needs to be changed and the process needs to be shortened. The birth parents need extensive counseling from the BIA at the point they decide to give their child up for adoption. There needs to be a definitive time line during which they can change their minds, and it needs to be closer to 30 days and not 2 l/2 years. The adoptive parents bond with their child and the child bonds with them. Nobody is stealing Indian children, let me assure you. I think that adoptive parents should have some legal protection as well. The end of my story is that we were fortunate to have adopted a child from two moral, honest people and we now have wonderful and open relationships with every relative in the picture. The Capobiancos are victims.

We live in a world where the term 'fake-news' is being branded around. And it seems, 'fake-news' is anything that we do not like, whether it is true or not.
We live in a postmodern world of relative truths, your truth is not my truth, you believe your truth and I shall believe mine.
But why am I going on about truths, real news and fake news?
As a Christian people we are still celebrating the Easter season. As a Christian people we recall that first Easter season, the time straight after the physical resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday.
We recall those first disciples. None of them saw the real moment of Jesus' resurrection. Mary came and she met the angels and then the risen Christ. And as she saw the risen Christ, she saw the truth in front of her. With a heart full of joy, she ran to tell the others what she had seen. And their reaction? 'This woman must have lost her mind!'
And as they were gathered in that upper roomJesus appeared to them and they knew the truth of the risen Christ. And they shared that truth with the one not there, Thomas- but to Thomas this was unbelievable, he needed to see to believe.
The risen Jesus appeared to Thomas and he showed him his hands and feet, and Thomas believed. The truth of the risen Christ became his truth.
Some of his followers were walking to Emmaus and even though they had heard the news of the resurrection, they didn't believe. They needed to see the risen Christ for themselves and when they saw Him in the breaking of the bread, the truth of the resurrection became their truth.
Jesus' presence on earth after Easter Sunday established the truth of his resurrection and fought any fake news that were around. In fact, on that truth his followers spread the good news that has reached us today, through persecution and to death. Through them, many knew the truth, but others chose to believe in fake news- news that suited them better. The soldiers that guarded the tomb knew nobody stole the body, but they played along with fake news. The religious leaders- they chose to make fake news their only truth and they missed out.
And what about us today? What do we embrace? Is the truth of the risen Christ ours? And if it is, do we live in the power and the strength of that truth? Do we celebrate the fact that the risen Christ is with us now, as He was with them then, loving us now as He loved them then?
May the truth of this season fill our lives and our heart and our minds every single moment.

Sharing our passion
Every day, thousands of us share the stories of our land and its people.
We enrich the experience of visitors to museums, historic sites, parks, farms, nature centres, indigenous cultural sites, zoos, aquaria, botanical gardens, and a host of other heritage sites and wilderness locations.
We may be called guides, naturalists, communicators, educators, writers, planners, designers, managers—titles as diverse as the jobs we do—but our profession is interpretation.
It's an exciting year.
2017 is the sesquicentennial of Canada (that's not only fun to say, but it also means it's Canada's 150th birthday). But, wait, there's more! It also marks the 40th anniversary of Interpretation Canada's incorporation as a non-profit organization. And, to celebrate, we're putting a ton of energy and enthusiasm into the organization.
We are planning a "dino-mite" in-person conference at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Alberta this fall, developing a new strategic plan for IC, and revamping our entire website.
Speaking of the website, we hope you like the new look. We are just in the beginning stages of putting it together, and we want one that serves our members well.
So, tell us what you want on the website. Visit our discussion forum and let us know what you'd like this site to feature in the future.

There's an old African proverb that goes like this:
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
I'm not an old African, but when I see great wisdom I take it and make it mine.
I saw great wisdom in this line: If you want to go far, go together.
That's why I set up the first official B&D BBQ.
How did the B&D BBQ go?
It was a smashing success, thank you for asking.
Soldiers of the mission came out in droves. We had soldiers fly in from Canada, New York City, Arkansas, Las Vegas and more.
The turnout was incredible. I couldn't have even dreamed of having a better selection of killers and real-dealers to mingle with.
At official count we had 120 true soldiers at the BBQ. My only goal was to get at least a moment to speak with everyone who attended one on one.
I don't know if I did or not, all I know is that I did my damndest to speak with everyone one on one. The BBQ was planned to last from 11am to 2pm, and I was there until 7pm.
Somewhere in the middle of it, after most of the group had left, we finally had time to get a group picture.
If you were at the B&D BBQ you know what at incredible time it was, and what an incredible networking opportunity you had.
If you weren't there, you missed out in a big way. There is something the guys who attended the BBQ had, in a big way. They had…
Speaking of aura, here are 8 lessons I learned at the B&D BBQ.
1) Everybody wants the same exact things.
Everybody wants to do work that fulfills them. Everybody wants enough money to live well. Everybody wants to be somebody or be part of something great.
We all want the exact same things, there are only a few minor differences, such as: some of us will work for what we want and some of us won't.
2) The blog and the podcast are more powerful than even I dreamed.
More people read B&D and more people watch and pay attention to the FCG than I ever thought.
Blogs and video podcasts are the two most powerful formats that exist today. Forget television and forget magazines, those are relics of the past.
In 10 years, books are going to be made about blogs the same way Felix Dennis wrote "How to Get Rich" as a book about publishing his magazines.
Don't be blind to the power of the blog. Many more people are reading than commenting. Many more.
3) New World Ronin hit quicker and harder than I thought it would.
In my own world, I thought New World Ronin was so special that it would take time to catch on. I underestimated my audience in a big way.
New World Ronin brings men to the brink of tears because it answers this question for them: What is my purpose?
When your purpose is revealed to you, tears of joy come to your eyes without your knowledge or consent.
I have seen it now many times, in my own eyes and in the eyes of others. I've been able to witness the moment it *clicks* and when it clicks, the eyes fill up with tears of happiness.
4) Everybody wants a fitter body.
Fitness has become so ingrained to me that I truly don't even think about it anymore. But that's because I spent so many years obsessed with it.
It took years of obsession to get to the point where it's simply a totally normal aspect of life.
I never personally ask fitness questions and I never personally research fitness and I never bring up the topic in conversation, but it was a huge topic at the B&D BBQ.
5) Everybody who reads NWR and listens to the FCG becomes ultra productive. It's impossible not to.
In one month, I did 36 episodes of the Full Color Godcast which is an audio/video series (Season one is currently finished, season two will start soon).
The FCG had more of an impact that I ever dreamed, much more. The amount of soldiers who started a podcast in the last month is astounding.
The power of speaking your way to the answer is simply undeniable. In fact, I believe the FCG will prove to be my most powerful work.
5) Always write down or say your goals out loud.
Repetition is how we learn, so always write down your goals, and then speak them out loud.
6) Learning to speak is the most important skill to learn.
The FCG is all about speaking your way to the answer. The words you speak become true. On the FCG I have accurately predicted the future.
When you are in the zone and when you speak the words at the same time, you are simply on a different wave-length than the rest of the world and you can make things happen through the power of your words.
Regarding learning to speak well: It is important to let go of "filler words" which break the momentum and kill flow.
7) You were put on earth to suffer in some areas so that you may give greatness in other areas.
Deep pain is what makes great artists great. No pain, no gain, and no more good art. All is balance.
Without pain, there cannot be greatness and vice versa. If you know great pain, then you have the ingredients of greatness in your blood.
8) It's important to network with other soldiers on the same journey as you.
The best way to meet and network with other link minds is in person.
The 2nd best way to network with people on the same journey with you is to join the Network of the NWR, right here on the B&D forum.
9) A college education is useless today.
I failed English class twice. Now I'm a professional writer and no one would show up to a BBQ thrown by the English teacher who failed me.
James Hetfield, lead singer of Metallica, also failed english class. James is famous for his words.
Not only is an education useless, it is actually worse than useless – an education hinders your true progress.
I overheard this at the BBQ: "I read NWR and I left university 3 days later." Good choice.
It's a lot like Bruce Lee once said, "If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done."
A letter from a reader of NWR
"Subj: It finally clicked…
I've just read NWR for the third time and everything has now come together. I'm literally on the verge of tears because it's taken 3 years to get to this point, and, finally, I can see exactly how I'm going to get to Shogun status.
My vision is so clear, that I know once I achieve it, it will be a feeling not of amazement, but of closure."

This is the first anthology to focus exclusively on the lives of Black South African women. This collection represents the work of both female and male writers, including national and international award-winning playwrights. The collection includes six full-length and four one-act plays, as well as interviews with the writers, who candidly discuss the theatrical and political situation in the new South Africa. Written before and after apartheid, the plays present varying approaches and theatrical styles from solo performances to collective creations.
The plays dramatise issues as diverse as:
• women's rights
• displacement from home
• violence against women
• the struggle to keep families together
• racial identity
• education in the old and new South Africa
• and health care.
This is the first anthology of plays to focus on the lives of contemporary black South African women. Editor Perkins (theater, Univ. of Illinois) has collected ten works ranging from protest plays of the 1980s to plays about the challenges for blacks, "coloreds," and Indians in the "new" South Africa of the 1990s. Biographical information and interviews with each playwright are included. Several of them are self-taught, and despite their achievements they struggle to have their plays widely accepted at home. These seven women and three men playwrights write primarily in English but also use Zulu, Afrikaans, and Sotho; translations should have been included for these sections. Despite this drawback, and a daunting hardcover price, this is a great addition to international theater.--J. Sara Paulk, Coastal Plain Regional Lib., Tifton, GA

What's heaven like?
I don't really have a clear idea of what I think heaven is like. I doubt it's white robes and clouds and harps and stuff. But I could be wrong.
My sister-in-law was working at a Vacation Bible School last week. They had mass everyday. (Yes, it was Catholic, but that's incidental.) For an hour, little children were supervised and corrected if they failed to fold their hands or bow their heads correctly. (You Baptists, the more you try to not be like Catholics, the more you meet them on the other side of the spectrum. Everyone say it together…"Every head bowed, every eye closed.")
Anyway, by the end of mass, the kids were absolutely itching to go home. Apparently this was the kind of VBS that didn't include outside time, crafts, or snacks. And then one of the children had an interesting question:
"What's heaven like?"
We were always told as kids something like it's better than anything you can imagine. Whatever the best thing is you can think of, it's better than that.
The answer the child was given? Heaven is like mass…all the time.
I can't think of a worse answer than saying heaven is like 24/7 church…any church, unless your church happens to worship by playing ultimate frisbee inside a giant 'moon bounce.' First, it's pretty obnoxious to think that our form of worship is perfect enough to actually be 'heaven on earth.' I don't even want heaven to be like my church! To think that God would look at my order of worship, my hymns, my sermon, my prayers and say, "That's good enough for them to do in my all-consuming presence forever," is absurd. Second, I can't think of a more inept way to communicate with a child. Hey kids, heaven is like your daily quiet devotional time! Blargh. Well, glad I'm not having quiet time now, since I'll be doing it forever anyway. And if you're extra good, you get to go to the heaven that's like Algebra homework!
Who wants to go to heaven? Not me! If hell has an air hockey table in the dorm lobby, I'm sold.
Church is oftentimes not a perfect, or completely enjoyable experience, because it's filled with imperfect people. There are lots of things that would make a better analogy for heaven (at least in my childish mind.)
Heaven is More Like These Than Church…
New Socks
If I had a million dollars, there'd be a list of things I'd do. One of those things would be to buy a new pair of socks…every day. That's right, I would be wearing a new pair of socks everyday, every pair at the end of the day never to touch my feet again. I love new socks. They feel great, and I feel better about myself when I wear them. I think it's a perfectly legitimate expectation that heaven is filled with new socks. Maybe we'll get socks that feel new every day though they never need replacing! Gasp!
5 Gum
Not really the gum itself, because the gum isn't anything special. Heaven is more like the commercials. Like the one of the guy getting pelted with oranges, or bouncing on a giant speaker. Actually, the gum is kind of a letdown after they try to make it sound so intense. But heaven will be that intense. It will be like learning kung fu in three seconds through a giant needle in the back of your head.
Double Stuf Oreos
Remember how I said we were told heaven is better than the best thing you can think of? I think a lot of people who invent snack foods went to church and heard that. Some guy walks into the Oreo offices on Monday and says,
"Guys, what's the best thing in the world?"
Everyone answers, "The creamy stuff inside Oreos that gives you cancer."
"Right, so what's better than the best thing you can think of? Double the stuf."
"Did you just say 'stuff' with one 'f?'"
I like to pull one cookie off of two Double Oreos and then stick the two cream sides together and have a MegaDeluxQuadStuf Oreo. I like to push the human limits of Stuf consumption.
I think the concept of 'better than the best thing ever' has given us lots of awesome snacks, just about every type of carnival food, and every food that's eaten off of a stick. What's better than a Twinkie? A Twinkie on a stick, dipped in pancake batter and deep fried, of course! Heaven is like that.
All the Cheat Codes
This may not be that relevant for anyone over 35. But what was even better than having an awesome video game as a kid? Having all the secret cheats unlocked. Suddenly, you're no longer a 90 pound weakling getting pushed around, you're a hulking Destroy-A-Thon of shock and awe. No goomba can stand in your way, and the Princess is in whatever castle I say she's in! Heaven's the ultimate secret room, and Jesus is like "up up down down left right left right B A."
And if heaven really is all about 24/7 church and not socks, then I'm going to be disappointed.
What about you? What do you think heaven's like? What would be the best thing in the world to you, and how would it be made better? What were you told heaven was like when you were a kid?

Especially nice for anyone who collects or loves frogs, the iridescent green paint really shows off the fabulous design. It's great to have a pair of frog earrings that actually get noticed; and it's hard to miss these shimmery green beauties.
The earrings are about 3/4 inch long each. They are positioned to hop, which really adds to their charm.
And don't forget the matching green frog pin or necklace. You might as well make her REALLY happy while you're at it!

Of a Sunday afternoon, for my money, nothing tastes better than an authentic Italian antipasto plate for two, lingered over with a glass of wine or an ice-cold pint of draft beer.
But I'm finding it difficult to locate a great antipasto plate in NYC.
To be specific, when I say antipasto plate, I mean those artists' palettes served up by creative chefs with a little bit of everything -- from the best prosciuttos and cheeses and olives to tuna and capers and marinated onions and pickles and -- well you name it, just a plate of complementary flavors to nibble on with some good crusty bread.
Can any chowhound help me? I am on the UES, but would venture pretty much anywhere in Manhattan or to Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens or Williamsburg if someone told me that was the place to go. (I already love Acqua Santa in W'burg for dinner but I haven't noticed a great antipasto plate on their menu).

Sound randomly died while using Skype
I was on a Skype call, when the call was cut for seemingly no reason. When I tried to reestablish the connection, Skype said that it wasn't able to access the sound card. Not only that, the sound seems to have died everywhere; Windows Media Player can't play because "there's a problem with my sound device", YouTube videos don't work, sound test fails... etc. When I run the audio troubleshooter, it says it can't identify the problem. Nothing looks out of the ordinary in Device Manager either (no red X's, yellow exclamation points...)
Basically, I'm totally at a loss to explain why one moment the sound was fine, and the next it just stops functioning. Anyone have any idea what's broken?
My sound card is an "IDT High Definition Audio Codec"

Nürnberg - Day 9
Nurnberg Travel Blog› entry 6 of 30 › view all entries
Mid-evening July 31st we arrived in Nürnberg, Germany. We had a short train ride to Berlin from Potsdam and then jumped onto a high-speed train (ICE) from Berlin to Nürnberg. It took about 5 hours. Because we wanted unlimited train rides, and we are over 26 years old, we had to buy a package of 1st class tickets when we were in the US. So the train ride was super comfortable and relaxing. It was actually really nice to have that much time to sit and relax and not have to walk anywhere! We did get to see some of the country side, but mostly we were going too fast to appreciate it (around 200 kmhour).
When we arrived in Nürnberg and checked our email, we had an email from Norbert and Anya saying that they could host us, and that this was the start of the Bavarian Holidays (and I believe they meant that school was finished for the summer for the children - they have 6 weeks of summer vacation before they go back to school) and there was a city-wide music festival starting on Friday, did we want to come? We were super excited. We emailed them back and said that we would love to go to the festival and stay with them. We met them at the train station in Fürth (sort of a suburb of Nürnberg). When we got to their house, they started making dinner. That was at about 9:30. Dinner was ready around 10:30-11:00, and we ate and talked until 2:00am. That was a long day!
On Friday, we walked with Norbert (who rode his bike) to the nearest bus stop, which was about 15 minutes away, and then Eli and I rode the bussubway to downtown Nürnberg. We toured some massive buildings that had been Hitler`s projects, and had never been completed. The city and people of Nürnberg have not been able to decide what to do with these buildings, so they are now basically ruins from the Third Reich. In part of the building that was going to be a massive congress-hall, there is a musem about the rise to power of the Socialist party and Hitler. It was very little about the war and the holocaust, and really is more about Germany and how it became a socialist state before the war. It was an amazing museum, and we eventually got kicked out, because they were closing even though we had not gotten even half way through.
We then walked to the Zeppelinfeld (Zeppelin Field) where all the Nazi Party rallies had been held. When you see pictures or videos of Hitler giving speeches, typically they are from this field. It was cool to see what a massive group of people would gather in this area for the party rallies, and to compare it to now - it looks similar to a football field except three times the size, with a road through part of it, and only parts of the old buildings still there. Again, we will put up pictures when we get home. But I dont think that our pictures can show what a strange thing it is, this huge open area that isnt used for anything, and is a reminder of everything that happened in this beautiful and historic city.
After our tour of the Nazi Rally Grounds, we headed to the Music Festival in downtown Nürnberg. Nürnberg is a city that is surrounded by a wall with lookout towers at each corner. The music festival is spread through-out the old part of the city (within the city wall) and they had 7 stages with different music groups from all over the world. We watched groups from America, Finland, Germany, Gambia, and Italy. At one point Eli and I got separated in a huge group of people watching a Russian band, and it was actually pretty scary. I got yelled at a couple of times (in German of course - which I didnt understand) when I was trying to find Eli and it took forever. Eventually we found each other, but it was not fun.
We spent both Friday and Saturday night at the festival, and both nights stayed up past 2 in the morning. Norbert and Anya are complete night-owls, and would do everything they could to keep us awake and hanging out with them. On Saturday evening we started making dinner at 11:00pm and didnt start eating until after 1:00am. It was unbelievable for us, because we were just dying we were so tired. After dinner, when we were starting to head for bed they offered us ice cream, and Schnapps, and wine. We had to politely decline so that we could get some sleep! We had a great time with Norbert and Anya, but they definitely wore us out!
We had a great time at the Music Festival, and it sounds like they often have festivals like that here, where they have stages all over the city. The newpaper said that they were expected 200,000 people to come to the festival. It certainly seemed like a huge amount of people, and on Saturday evening it was super busy. Oh, and by the way, it was entirely free. What a wonderful time!

The football season is now officially over. Clemson knocked off Alabama in the most dramatic fashion possible with a last-second Deshaun Watson touchdown to down the mighty Crimson Tide.
So now we look ahead to 2017.
And as we sit in early January, the outlook is bright for Oklahoma State. Athlon Sports ranked the Cowboys as a No. 11 team in its way-too-early 2017 projection.
And ESPN has even higher preseason expectations of Oklahoma State, who they ranked as No. 7 in its list released on Monday night. From ESPN:
Outlook: The Pokes will have to rebuild their defense after losing top tacklers Jordan Sterns and Devante Averette plus star defensive tackle Vincent Taylor, who is entering the NFL draft as a junior. But with quarterback Mason Rudolph and receiver James Washington announcing they'll return for their senior seasons, Oklahoma State might have one of the country's most high-powered offenses in 2017. Coach Mike Gundy has guided the Pokes to 10-win seasons in five of the past seven years, and after back-to-back second-place finishes in the Big 12, they might be ready to challenge Oklahoma for the title. They'll get to play the Sooners at home in the Bedlam game next season, and the Pokes will also host TCU, Baylor and Kansas State in Big 12 play.
Interestingly, ESPN seems to be the highest on OSU in the Big 12. They ranked Oklahoma on down the list at No. 10, noting the losses of Joe Mixon, Samaje Perine and Dede Westbrook being difficult to replace from its most recent Big 12 title season.
Expectations for 2017 will be high, indeed. And the media appear to be hopping on board with Mason Rudolph and Co. early.

New French challenge for Cup
A new French challenge for the Melbourne Cup is gathering strength with the performance of Dunaden in a gallop at Werribee.
Leading local rider Craig Williams put Dunaden through his paces in his first strong gallop since arriving in Melbourne and immediately placed the horse on his Melbourne Cup short list.
Dunaden finished off his 1600-metres workout with 600m in 34.5 seconds around the tight Werribee circuit and did it easily, according to his rider.
"He didn't really extend for me until we got into the straight," Williams said.
"European horses aren't used to a track like Werribee, but I like the way he lengthened, he got so low.
"He's in really good order, very, very well.
"At this stage I'd be pretty happy to be on him."
On a morning when most of the visiting Cups runner did their first serious work, Dunaden and the German import Lucas Cranach impressed the most.
But only slightly more than the old-timer Bauer, the Geelong Cup winner and Melbourne Cup runner-up of three years ago.
Damien Oliver handled the gelding in a 1400m gallop in preparation for Saturday's Herbert Power Stakes (2400m) at Caulfield.
Bauer has passed the balloting conditions for Saturday week's Caulfield Cup, but needs a weight penalty to be sure of gaining a start.
Oliver said Bauer had something in reserve at the end of the gallop and would be in good order for Saturday's race.
"He's arrived in very good condition and today's work was very good," Oliver said.
"I looked after him in his work and he fully tested the horse he worked with."
Last year's Melbourne Cup winner Americain had a more leisurely task, working alone at three-quarter pace.
Americain's program is yet to be finalised with a Moonee Valley Cup run now on the cards.
Another impressive worker at Werribee was Chilean Derby runner-up Sahara Sun, one of four Luca Cumani-trained runners in Melbourne this spring.
He runs in Saturday's Caulfield Stakes (2000m), in which he will be on trial for a Cox Plate start.

- China | Gold Trading | March 3, 2015
The evidence is there. China is saying, in effect, "We're not comfortable holding all these dollars unless we can have gold. But if we are transparent about the gold acquisition, the price will go up too quickly. So we need the western powers to keep the lid on the price and help us get the gold, until we reach a hedged position."

The Historic Preservation Commission approved my paint colors. Hurrah! I bought a couple of testers but I haven't painted a patch of the house with them yet. (I submitted 2 colors to HPC because I hadn't made up my mind, and the whole shebang was approved.) When I do, I'll post a photo on here and let y'all vote on which you like best.
Charlie went to Court on Tuesday and his lawyer told him when he got there that the case has been continued until sometime in July. I don't know whether to take a continuance as a good sign or not, so I'm continuing my present course of hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.
I'm rethinking not having internet at the house. It's a little bit of a pain in the hiney to have to go to the library or McDonald's to get on the internet. (Spoiled middle-class Americans and their "problems", right??) I'm weighing now the little bit of inconvenience against the cost. We'll see.
Mare (he of the porch-building, kitchen-renovating extravanganza three years ago) made a brief appearance in my side yard last week to talk about the sale of the house down the street. It's the oldest frame house in Lexington (built in 1839) and, for Mare, it'll always be The One That got Away. He lived in it for years, put heart and soul into its repairs, but in the end just didn't have the money to remain there. That's his everlasting regret. To find out that it sold at auction for less than its market value--and a price that Mare could almost have afforded--added insult to injury. I felt bad for him.
And now, I must go scrape some paint. Follow me on Twitter for the latest on that saga.

There hasn't been a house burglary out here in the boonies since the area started being built on in 1920, but whatever. (rolls eyes, considers light blocking shades, says thank you that the night animals still visit my deck feeders.)
My cousin down the street has similar floodlight neighbors.
NV, Saturday wasn't too bad; Sunday was horrible so I didn't work on the house at all. The forecast for my days off this week is 98, 97, 98. Ugh. Hope you got your Blogger problem fixed.ReplyDelete
Karen Anne, Floodlight neighbors?? I would hate that! I sometimes threaten to put up lights so I can work late at night, but I'd never actually do it. I have light-blocking curtains on my bedroom windows and they really help.

David John Moore Cornwall, 77, better known under his pseudonym John Le Carre, studied German literature at Berne University from 1948 to 1949 before becoming a British secret agent based in the German cities of Bonn and Hamburg.
"Apart from spying, I have in my time sold bathtowels, got divorced, washed elephants, run away from school, decimated a flock of Welsh sheep with a 25-pound shell because I was too stupid to understand the gunnery officer's instructions (and) taught children in a special school," Cornwall said on his official website.
The author of "The Spy Who Came In From The Cold" and "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" has seen his books translated into 36 languages.

Drunk Russian sailor smashes 7,000-tonne ship into Scotland
A RUSSIAN seaman downed half a litre of rum on duty before crashing his massive 7,000-tonne cargo ship into rocks in Scotland, an investigation has found.
The officer was in charge of the Lysblink Seaways vessel as it travelled from Belfast to Skogn, Norway.
But it pounded into rocky shores in west Scotland near Kilchoan after the 36-year-old watchman had drank his liquor in the cabin and felt queasy.
He was eight times over the limit to carry out his duties, reports say.
The ship, which was carrying paper waste, ran aground, was stranded for two days because of bad weather on February 18 and was written off.
The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) report says: "Empty beer, wine and spirit bottles and cartons found on board after the accident indicated significant levels of alcohol consumption by the crew."
The officer is no longer employed by DFDS Logistics Rederi AS of Norway, who owned the vessel.
Daily Star Online recently reported The Bermuda Triangle claimed cargo ship El Faro and its 33 crew during Hurricane Joaquin.
And a shocking video of a woman drinking and smoking at the wheel of her car sparked outrage on social media last week.

Tonight is the season finale of Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Cartoon Network. This episode features the return of Darth Maul, and the rematch fight between maul and Obi-Wan Kenobi. We got to see a sneak peek of the episode earlier this week, and this morning, LucasFilm sent a new teaser image our way.
"Revenge," airs at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT Friday, March 16th on Cartoon Network.
1 Comment
I was super giddy when I saw how his new legs came out, since it seems it drew inspiration from one of my favorite non-canon Star Wars comic stories where Darth Maul has the same exact form of cybernetic legs (with the clawed feet).
That said, I'm still a bit iffy on the whole idea of bringing him back in canon.

I Borghi più Belli d'Italia is an association that awards a certificate to the small towns that meet its criteria for being judged among "the most beautiful villages in Italy". People looking for beautiful places to visit off the beaten tourist trail should definitely consult the list.
If you click on "Villages" at the top of the page, you'll see a map of Italy, divided into North, Central, and South, with outlines of the regions within each section. Hovering your cursor over any of the regions brings up the name of the region. Clicking on a region brings up a page which shows all the towns in that region. Finally, clicking on a town brings up a description of the town, not always translated well, I'm afraid.
Very few of the well-known tourist meccas are on the list, because this is an association that values above all harmony, livability, and natural beauty in very small towns. The maximum population for the historic center of the town must be no more than 2000 inhabitants. There are some famous towns that might meet the criteria but don't want to bother going through the evaluation process, since they get plenty of publicity through other channels.
All of the towns I know that have the certificate certainly deserve it. They have to apply for admission to the association. A group from the organization visits the town and judges it on many factors, such as livability of the town, pedestrianized centers, the presence of a tourist office and the possibility of guided tours, harmonious architecture, adequate lodgings for tourists, a preponderance of old buildings as opposed to new ones, and the natural beauty of the surrounding countryside.Some towns are ruled out altogether for lack of natural beauty and harmonious architecture. Towns that don't make the cut on other grounds are given list of things that need to be improved and another chance to get approved. Once in the club, the towns are revisited periodically to make sure they still merit the certificate.
I was reminded of this association yesterday when I recommended Buonconvento, in Tuscany, to someone looking for a small town in Tuscany. It was reinforced today, when, at a meeting in our town about tourism, someone mentioned that the association was collecting funds for Amatrice, one of its members, which was very badly damaged in one of the recent earthquakes.
On the website, there is an online shop which sells typical products. They seem to deliver to outside Italy, but I don't know if there are exceptions for some products.

Most beautiful villages in Italy
I Borghi più Belli d'Italia is an association that awards a certificate to the small towns that meet its criteria for being judged among "the most beautiful villages in Italy". People looking for beautiful places to visit off the beaten tourist trail should definitely consult the list.

Wonderful post. Been to many villages, but for us, there is never enough time to visit the hundreds that we would so enjoy.
Report Abuse
Thank you so much for this incredibly helpful link. We have been to many of them but are always for looking for new towns and villages to explore.
Last year we were Umbria so I clicked on it and was heartbroken to be reminded of beautiful Norcia which was damaged so badly in the earthquake.
Report Abuse
I agree, this is a wonderful post. We love nothing more than traveling off the beaten path in Italy. Leggerò ogni parola, grazie!
Report Abuse
Norcia has suffered a terrible loss in the collapse of the Basilica di San Benedetto, and damage to the town wall. However, damage to other structures was limited. Amatrice was practically totally destroyed. Also some very small mountain settlements in Umbria and Le Marche were completely lost. Of the other towns in the association of "most beautiful villages", Preci and Visso had very extensive damage.
Castelluccio di Norcia, is almost completely gone. It isn't in the association, probably because it's an outlying village in the territory of Norcia.
Report Abuse
thank you for the link, bvl, and for the reminder about the fundraising for the earthquake affected areas. Let's hope that the current earthquake season has come to and end and that nowhere else has to go through what befell those villages recently.
though I may not live somewhere quite that beautiful, it always makes me feel grateful that I'don't live in an area which is prone to such disasters.
Report Abuse
That would make a very special trip to Italy: village hunting. Certainly more rewarding than the usual Florence-Cinque Terre-Amalfi Coast trip.
Report Abuse
There was another fairly strong quake yesterday, near Norcia, I think.
I was hoping that this list of villages would help those people who say they want to get off the beaten path. Usually, just the drive from one village to another would be rewarding. All of these villages have been evaluated also on their hospitality to tourists. All have a tourist office and some sort of lodging. The association promotes an idea called "albergo diffuso", which roughly means "distributed hotel". Because a brand new hotel would be out of place in most of these villages, the idea is that rooms for guests could be set up in existing structures in the town, with a central reception area where guests check in and where they can go for typical hotel services, including breakfast.
However, keep in mind that these are mostly tiny towns; the smallest has a population of 60 permanent residents. So you can't expect to find a tourist office open 7 days a week, 12 hours a day, with a multilingual staff.

The Beautiful Villages site is helpful for planning visits to regions that are often overlooked in U.S. travel guides. We could not find much info on Abruzzo in guidebooks, but we were inspired by the site to visit Pacentro, Penne, Anversa degli Abruzzi, Castelli, Scanno and Bugnara. All were charming.
Report Abuse
i wish I'd seen it before we visited Sicily though to be fair, we did find our way to a couple of them without its help. Palazzolo Arcreide was very nice and probably did warrant the accolade but I'm not sure about Castelmolo [up above Taormina]; but my view is probably tainted by the dreadful drive we had to get to it.
Report Abuse
It's a bit like the town of Norma, in Lazio. Norma isn't one of the "most beautiful", but it has an extensive (and poorly cared for) archaeological site. But it's high on a steep cliff, and the hairpin turns were frightening. At one point, we had to back up around a hairpin turn, and the only reason I didn't call off the trip was that there was no place to turn around.
Report Abuse
the only reason I didn't call off the trip was that there was no place to turn around.>>
bvl - I know that feeling. the only reason that we carried on up to Castelmolo was because we'd booked a hotel up there and if we cancelled we were going to have to pay for it].
[correction, as DH reminded me more than once as I drove up, and up, and up...I'd booked the hotel up there].

Thank you for posting this site. If, Lord willing, we are able to return to Italy, it will be very useful!

what fun to see someone recommending off-the-beaten track travel in Europe! It's pooh-poohed, and I don't understand why, since the argument that "tourist places are famous and croweded for a reason" -- implying that everybody has the same reasons to travel -- is pretty unsatisfying. Anyway, there are so many guidebooks that supply information for head-to-the-top-ten-destinations-and-see-the-top-ten-tourist-attractions for those who haven't seen those places yet, so surely the internet is at its most useful informing people about what's not in those books.
Fair warning to people that a lot of very beautiful places off the beaten track are hard to get to. If at all possible, plan to walk at least part of the way rather than drive. Even if you manage the dodgy roads, usually there's not much in the way of parking in medieval European villages except what's already taken by the residents.
Buonconvento is a wonderful town. And it has a train station, plus a big parking lot.
Report Abuse
Buonconvento is a nice place, but must be pushing at the 2000 inhabitants limits.
While not in the same league as Italy in this regard, Britain in Bloom tries to bring out some of these features
Report Abuse
At the meeting in our town last week, an official from the association said, if I remember correctly, that the limit applied to residents "inside the walls". This would mean inside the historic centre. Many Italian towns have very large territories, comprising a number of villages or hamlets, called "frazioni". Buonconvento has two frazioni, Bibbiano (with a castle of the same name), and Ponte d'Arbia. If you count them, the population would surely be over 2000.

Thanks bvlenci for such a wonderful link. Will keep it for future reference. I have already decided that some of these places will be included in the next trip.

Thank you bvlenci for the most useful link. I'll head there when the weather becomes warmer.

MILLCREEK — The pyramid consisting of 600 orange buckets representing 3,000 gallons of water was designed to display how much water a typical irrigation system uses during just one cycle.
The Home Depot, the Weber Basin Conservancy District, the Utah Division of Water Resources and the Utah Governor's Office of Management and Budget have partnered to promote water conservation and protective measures in case of a drought.
"If we can eliminate or reduce one irrigation cycle on that sprinkler system, we can save 3,000 gallons of water," said Darren Hess, the assistant general manager of Weber Basin Water Conservancy District.
Each entity has taken individual measures to contribute to the project.
From June to August, the Home Depot is implementing signs promoting environmentally friendly landscaping, WaterSense products and various rebate programs — which American Fork store manager Kristin Calderwood said she is "very excited" about.
"We're committed to bringing our customers the highest-quality, best product and most environmentally friendly product," she said. "But more importantly, we want to make it easy for the consumer."
Calderwood added that switching to WaterSense products, a utility brand that aims to conserve water, can save about 4,000 gallons of water a year.
Similarly, the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District, which provides water for Davis, Weber, Morgan, Summit and Box Elder counties, has tried to educate its consumers on how much water they're using and encourage them to use less.
"I think people have a difficulty understanding how much water they're really putting on their landscapes" Hess said.
In addition, the Utah Governor's Office of Management and Budget is promoting the term "conservation ethic," which state planning coordinator Evan Curtis hopes will encourage all Utahns to "take part in the effort to save water."
"One of the great things about Utah is we really do have an ethic of working together and working hard," Curtis said, adding that Utah is the fastest growing state in the nation and is growing at double the national average, which means water resources are more likely to run out in the future.
Lastly, the Utah Division of Water Resources has changed its logo to increase attention, and changed the layout of its website to make it more user-friendly. It is also inviting residents to take a water-wise pledge, which can be found at www.surveymonkey.com/r/h2oath.3 comments on this story
Faye Rutishauser, the water conservation coordinator at the Utah Division of Water Resources, said the organization will also be running advertisements on Pandora and various podcasts.
"We're excited to take conservation to the next level," Rutishauser said.
Each organization is encouraging Utahns to conserve water for the future, even though the state had an extreme winter that brought an abundance of water.
"This is something that we all need to do, whether it's a wet year or a dry year," said Eric Millis, the director of the Utah Division of Water Resources.
More information can be found at water.utah.gov.


text: The U.S. Commerce Department announced on Wednesday that it had initiated anti-dumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) investigations against imports of certain uncoated paper from China, Australia, Brazil, Indonesia and Portugal.The investigations are in response to a complaint from Domtar Corporation, Finch Paper LLC, Packaging Corporation of America, and P.H. Glatfelter Company which alleged that papers from China, Australia, Brazil Indonesia and Portugal were sold below the fair value of the products in the U.S. market. The company also claimed that exporters from China and Indonesia also received improper government subsidies.Uncoated paper is typically used for office copy and printer paper, books, business forms, instruction manuals, inserts, flyers, brochures and maps.The International Trade Commission (ITC), the U.S. trade authority, was scheduled to make its preliminary inquiry determinations on AD and CVD around March 9.The probes will continue if the ITC determines that the imports of such products materially injure or threaten the domestic industry of the United States. The Commerce Department will then make its preliminary determinations of CVD in April, and AD in June.Imports of these products from China were estimated at about 32 million U.S. dollars in 2013, according to U.S. official data.The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has kept urging Washington to abide by its commitment against protectionism and help maintain a free, open and just international trade environment.

Wave Chapelle is part of a slew of rising rappers and producers coming out of the unheralded city of Milwaukee. After declaring his dedication to his craft with singles like "Overtime," Wave Chapelle has dropped off a full-length project called W⚡. He's joined by fellow Milwaukee natives Majeei Vu, IshDARR and Yung Satori.
The tracks don't stray too far from the so far winning formula that Wave established with "Let's Win" and "Overtime." The tape's carries a sports theme throughout, from the Gatorade lighting bolt on the cover to the sports metaphors Wave uses in many of the songs. He does get introspective on songs like "Time" and "All Good," so it isn't all aggression and success talk.
How do y'all feel about Wave Chapelle's HNHH mixtape debut?

Synopsis for "Dread"Edit
The police examine the Parkers' condo after Peter comes home, finding MJ missing with signs of a struggle. One floor below, Jonathon Caesar keeps MJ prisoner in a hidden room filled with images of her. When he tries to make her comfortable, she slaps him. He hits her back, then explains he arranged for her admission to Bedford Towers so he could eventually marry her. Spidey shakes down hood Chili Bono who tells him there's a new crook in town, talking revenge on Spider-Man. To please Aunt May, Peter honors his Queens book signing commitment. Felicia Hardy tries to get into Bedford Towers, but the doorman turns her away. Following Chili's lead, Spidey goes to a Brooklyn graveyard and encounters an army who think he was hired to portray Spider-Man. He mops them up, discovering their trainer is Taskmaster. Possessed with rage, Spidey fights him, demanding MJ.
Taskmaster tells him he's never heard of her, then ignites his stashed munitions store and escapes. Back home, Peter paces the balcony unaware that MJ is a captive just below him.

|How can I set up a Proxy I/O server in CitectHMI/SCADA?
|A proxy I/O Server can be used for the
optimisation of Citect network traffic for I/O requests. Any I/O
server can be used as a proxy I/O server.
Using a proxy I/O server can have the following advantages:
all I/O requests are routed via the proxy, this allows you to make a very secure connection between the clients and the I/O Server, since all clients send their I/O request to the proxy, and only the proxy communicates with the actual I/O Servers.
A proxy I/O server will decrease the amount of requests that go to the I/O Servers. The proxy I/O Server does block requests from multiple clients and sends a single request to the (remote) I/O Server. It also caches the data in the proxy I/O Server so some requests from clients can be answered from cache without sending an actual request to the remote I/O Server
It allows you to connect an IDC to pre V5.20 I/O servers. An IDC uses a pure sockets method for Citect networking. However this type of Citect networking was only introduced in V520. All pre-V520 I/O servers only can use NetBIOS based networking. A proxy i/o server can receive pure sockets requests from an IDC, and the send them through via NetBIOS traffic to the older I/O servers. This will allow the IDC to get data from for example a V5.00 I/O server.
To be able to use a proxy I/O server you need to set [Lan]tcpip=1.
On the proxy I/O server itself you do not have to make any settings at all. Only on the clients you will have to make some settings in your citect.ini file.
For example if I want my display clients to send all I/O request to IOserver1, you will have to make the following setting on the clients. IOserver1 will then serve as proxy, and send the I/O requests further to the I/O Servers where the actual I/O Devices are running (so for example to IOserver2, IOserver3 and IOserver4).
[PROXI] All=IOserver1
Of course it only makes sense to use a proxy if you have more than one i/o server in your project.
You can also make a more advanced split up of the I/O requests. For example to route all I/O requests for I/O servers IOA and IOB via IOP1, and all requests for I/O server IOC via IOP2 you can make the following settings on the clients.
In this case you would have a total of 5 I/O Servers in your project, with names IOA, IOB, IOC, IOP1 and IOP2.
To get a faster start up of your clients please also set [IOServer]AsyncConnect=1. When the AsynConnect parameter is set to 1, CitectHMI/SCADA will not try to connect to all I/O servers on startup, but rather connects to an I/O Server only when data from that I/O Server is required.
