Editor's Note: The following sermon was delivered on September 16, 2001at St. David's Episcopal Church in Pepperell, Massachusetts.
Listen to the Prophets by Katherine Hancock Ragsdale
I can't confine my sermon to the appointed lessons today. The matters we are trying to deal with are too big. I need the whole Book to help me wrestle with what has happened in New York and Washington — really throughout the country and the world. I need the Psalms to help me break through the shock and FEEL; and to help me deal with WHAT I feel once those feelings come. I need the Prophets to help me move beyond my feelings into thought and action. I need the Gospels and Epistles to sustain me in the face of the horror and uncertainty.
When we met here on Tuesday night to worship and to cope together, folks seemed to find it relatively easy to talk about their shock and their grief. But it took a little longer for us to begin to talk about the anger and the vengefulness. Perhaps that's because we've come to believe that such feelings aren't Christian. And it's true that we're taught that it's inappropriate to act on those feelings — or to nurture them. We're to weed them out rather than tend them and help them grow.
That's all true. But it's also true that they are human feelings. People sometimes feel that way. Even good people. Even the people of God. And, if you doubt that, if you're tempted to feel guilty for having these feelings, just turn to the book of Psalms. Psalms is a collection of hymns, poetry, conversations with, or at, God. They were written by a people who knew about suffering and injustice. The people of Israel had been enslaved, mistreated, oppressed, dispossessed more times than we would care to count. They knew about unjust suffering and destruction. And often they raged about it. In fact, if you want help getting in touch with your own rage and grief and, yes, even vengefulness, I suggest you look at the psalms (start, if you like with Psalm 94) to see just how angry God's people could get.
And we do need to get in touch with those feelings. Because the truth is, we can't weed them out until we notice and acknowledge them. If we bury those feelings deep in order to hide them even from ourselves, they simply WILL NOT go away. Rather they will grow, unhampered by our better judgment. If we refuse to see them they will, sooner or later, come out and bite us from behind. They will manipulate and control us. We cannot manage these feelings, we cannot choose not to let them govern our judgment and our actions unless and until we acknowledge that we have them.
But eventually, the shock and grief subside and then (and, sometimes, before then) we have to decide what we think and how we will act. For that I turn first to the prophets. The psalmists, too, eventually moved beyond rage, despair, and vengefulness. They, too, began to think about how to think about the awful things that happened to them. They would begin to look for what they could learn; to search for their own responsibility; and to thank God for "punishing" them so that they could be saved from their own errors. Today, we understand these things not to be God's punishment. We believe that God never wills terrible things upon us or anyone else. But still, if we are wise or faithful, we look to see what we need to learn.
This is where the prophets prove invaluable. They, too, tend to use language of punishment, but the whole dynamic of prophesy illuminates terrible events as the logical consequences of human choices rather as something divinely imposed. You see, the prophets were not fortune-tellers. They didn't look into a crystal ball and foretell the future. What they did was more along the lines of reading the handwriting on the wall.
The prophets would say to the community, "If you don't change your behavior, you will suffer consequences. If you continue to accrue wealth at others' expense, leaving many to starve while a few revel in luxury, those poor will eventually rise up against you. If you enslave and oppress others they will rebel. And when these things happen it will not go well with those who led the oppression, those who benefited from it, or those who could have done something yet stayed silent." And sometimes people would listen, change their ways, and be saved and other times they wouldn't and catastrophe would follow. This is what made the prophet's life so miserable. The best she could hope for was that people listened and amended their lives. But then, of course, the dire consequences the prophet had predicted would not occur and no one would ever know for sure that the prophet wasn't a crackpot. The alternative was that people ignored the warnings and continued to carry on as before, the inevitable destruction follows and everyone can see that the prophet had been right. But how much pleasure can you take in being right when it means your community has been left in ruins?
So, the prophets teach us to look for our own responsibility in the disasters that befall us. Please understand, I do not want to suggest that God caused this attack to punish us, nor do I want to suggest that it was justified. Still, our hands are not entirely clean and the prophets tell us that we had better learn from this or expect to see it repeated. The fact is, a large group of people prepared a long time to do this to us. Many people were willing to die to do this to us. What could bring them to such hatred and hopelessness and are we, in any way responsible? Others danced in the streets when they heard of our suffering. Not their leaders. Not entire countries. But significant numbers of people in various places rejoiced in our pain and loss. What could bring anyone to hate us so much?
I don't pretend to know all the answers to those questions. But I suspect that it's not unlike the reasons the psalmists sometimes asked God to do terrible things to others. I suspect that it has to do with economics and land and oppression. When a people starve, when they watch their children and their parents die in hunger and their society disintegrate while others have more than they know what to do with and do nothing to help, hatred can grow. When a people see the land their ancestors have lived on for generations taken from them, when their homes are destroyed over and over and their children are killed and the bullets and the bombs have "Made in America" written on them — is it any wonder that they laugh to see us get what must seem to them a taste of our own medicine? And when we train others in terrorist tactics, and arm them, and send them out to fight those we perceive as our enemy so that we won't have to fight ourselves, how can we be surprised when they turn the skills and the arms we gave them against us?
Our hands are not clean. And the prophets tell us that, unless we acknowledge that and look to amend our common life — well, the handwriting is on the wall.
We must, as a nation and as a part of the community of nations, decide how we will respond. What will we do with ourselves and what will we do to those who did this? Again, I don't pretend to have the answers to those questions. I turn to the Gospels and the Epistles not to provide those answers but to provide the foundation from which such decisions can wisely be made.
Tuesday night we used the Compline service (the service for the end of the day) as the framework for our time of prayer and conversation. There's a short reading in that service from one of the epistles. It says, "Be sober, be vigilant, for your adversary as a ravening lion walketh about seeing whom he may devour." Be sober. Be vigilant. Be careful.
If you believe that evil was behind those attacks — not that the attackers were evil, but that their actions were — let me tell you this. Evil is not interested in our bodies. It does not care about killing us. Evil wants to devour us. It wants our souls. It doesn't want us dead. It wants us evil. It wants us to become what we hate.
The terrorists' goal was not to destroy some buildings and kill some people — even thousands of people. That was merely a means to an end. What they want to destroy is us — all of us. They want to destroy our way of life. And to the extent that we respond by eliminating ANYONE's civil liberties; by abandoning, in fear or hatred, any of the principles of freedom and justice for all that we hold so dear, that have shaped this nation; by persecuting others at home or abroad, to exactly that extent, they will have succeeded.
Evil wants more than our destruction. It wants to own our souls. And to the extent that we allow our anger and our lust for revenge to rule us, we will have become the very thing we abhor and evil will have won.
I don't know how we get beyond the anger. It's too soon for me to see that path with any clarity. But I know it's the path we must take. And I know that denial of our very real and very human emotions will cripple rather than help us. So I invite you to turn to the Psalms and let the anger and grief of our forebears help you to notice and acknowledge your own.
I know also that we must learn even from something as horrible as this — especially from something as horrible as this. So I urge you to turn to the prophets to learn how to hear and accept judgment and how to find God's love and care and mercy speaking to us even now.
And I know that we have been promised that we will never be left alone. So, when you are so blinded, by grief, or rage, or despair that you cannot even imagine a path that will lead to peace and renewal, I urge you to turn to the Gospels (or back to the Psalms) to be reminded that the God you cannot find has not lost you. And neither has God abandoned those who died or those who mourn.
Evil cannot devour us without our permission. We have to choose to surrender to hatred and anger and fear before we can become the evil we deplore. Use every resource at your disposal, the whole Book, the community, the God who travels, and suffers, with us to resist that temptation. And then, somehow, that peace which passes all understanding will be with you and in you even now.

FEMA Flood Map Service Center: Hazus
FEMA's Methodology for Estimating Potential Losses from Disasters
Hazus is a nationally applicable standardized methodology that contains models for estimating potential losses from earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes. Hazus uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology to estimate physical, economic, and social impacts of disasters. It graphically illustrates the limits of identified high-risk locations due to earthquake, hurricane and floods. Users can then visualize the spatial relationships between populations and other more permanently fixed geographic assets or resources for the specific hazard being modeled, a crucial function in the pre-disaster planning process.
For more information about the Hazus program, please visit the Hazus home page. From there, you can learn how to:

- Sign up for Hazus Training from FEMA's Emergency Management Institute
- Find technical support at the Hazus Help Desk
Hazus 4.0 Release
On March 20, 2017, the Hazus Team deployed the Hazus Tsunami Module as part of the Hazus 4.0 release. This release is a full-versioned software release with a number of key highlights, including:
- Territory Analysis: This release represents the first time that analysis will be available for U.S. territories (Guam, American Samoa, Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, and U.S. Virgin Islands).
- New Point Format: The Hazus General Building Stock (GBS) for the Tsunami release will use a new National Structure Inventory (NSI) point format (details in User Release Notes available with download).
- Case Studies: The Tsunami Module will require user-provided data, so the Hazus Team has provided five case study datasets for users, which will be available on the MSC download site.
- Two Types of Damage Analysis: Users will be able to run both near-source (Earthquake + Tsunami) and distant-source (Tsunami only) damage analysis.
Download Hazus
A patch is now available for the Hazus 4.0 Hurricane Wind model, fixing two defects: underestimation of losses for manufactured housing, and overestimation of losses for large and medium hospital facilities. Click HERE to download the patch. To install the patch, follow these steps:
- Download the patch and unzip to your local machine in the C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Hazus-MH folder
- Navigate to the folder where the patch was unzipped. The extracted files will be in a folder called "HuPatch_v2." Please note, some extractors will create a second subfolder with the same name, and the patch files will be located there.
- Open the folder HuPatch_v2 which contains the patch files.
- Double-click on the executable file called HuPatch40SP1 to launch the patch. A message will display when the patch installation has successfully completed.
Please note: If Hazus is not installed in C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Hazus-MH, or is only a partial install, a message will display that Hazus cannot be found on the machine. If this occurs, please contact the Hazus Help Desk for assistance in deploying the patch.
Domestic and international users may select the "Hazus-MH Application" link below to download the software. As an alternative, you may opt to manage the download and select the items you wish to obtain. Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox web browsers are recommended to perform the download.

NOTE: You must uninstall any existing versions of Hazus and all Microsoft SQL components from your computer before downloading and ensure that you have ArcGIS 10.4 on your computer. When installing ArcGIS 10.4, a patch must be applied for Hazus 4.0 to properly display ArcGIS attribute tables from the ArcMap Table of Contents. Additional details are available in the User Release Notes as part of the Hazus Installation package. The patch is available at: http://support.esri.com/download/7427. Please read the Getting Started Guide in the HAZUS_APP folder from the MSC download for further details..
Users wishing to preserve their study regions and transfer them to Hazus 4.0 may do so, but only if they are operating on the most recent version of Hazus (3.2). They will be able to follow the steps outlined in the Getting Started Guide available with the download to extract their study regions in Hazus 3.2 and then upload them into 4.0 once it is downloaded. For questions or issues, feel free to contact the Hazus Help Desk at email@example.com.
For the Tsunami Module, users must supply their own data for analysis. To assist in preparing this data, the Hazus Team has provided five case study datasets for users, which are available at the bottom of this page for download through a zip file. Users can model their own datasets after these samples.
If you require assistance downloading the software, please email the FEMA Map Information eXchange (FMIX) at email@example.com.

Check out this video preview of Yahoo Messenger for Windows Vista.Uses lots of whizzy WPF and Vista tricks like transparency, scaling and sidebar gadgets. From an interaction design perspective my favourite bit is the voice-level indicator. Gives users good feedback and helps them feel in control. Coincidentally, I did some conceptual design work for some similar functionality for a company here in Australia almost exactly a year ago. Some of the stuff we came up with was very similar. Didn't think of tabbed conversations though. D'oh.
More discussion:
Where they say: The team also decided that "a new coat of paint wasn't really going to cut it if we want to wow users, and so we decided to work closely with Microsoft and build Yahoo Messenger for Vista,". This is an important point - user experience design is about so much more than eye-candy.

Green Israel
AFRICAN man watches migrant demonstration 370.
(photo credit:Asaf Kliger/Israel Post)
It has become commonplace for politicians and the Israeli media to call for the
deportation of "the Africans." Israeli newspapers are rallying against them,
claiming they are not only dangerous but that they threaten the delicate Jewish
character of the state of Israel. Interior Minister Eli Yishai has gone
so far as to claim that we have no duty to help them because it's not Israel
that created the difficult situation in either Eritrea or Sudan.It is
with an increasingly heavy heart that I read these articles and see these
claims. While Yishai is right in arguing that Israelis are not the cause of the
problem in Eritrea or Sudan, he does not explain how we have no moral duty to
help people who are seeking asylum – people who were forced to flee from their
homes and many times leave their families.

There are certain things in life that should be terrible, but for some logic defeating reason, are unequivocally awesome. Grease Two, salted caramel and David Hasselhoff; by the laws of all that is holy, all of the former should suck, yet they defy the rules of good taste and are all the better for it. My theory is that when something passes through the bad taste barrier it comes back round the other side and into extreme brilliance.
The same rule applies to fashion – there are clothes that by rights should be incinerated, but their precarious balancing act on the borders of good taste adds to their incredible edge. Pastel coloured metallics, white stilettos, anything in PVC – surely no sane style conscious person should be seen dead in such garments? Yet somehow clothes that flagrantly flaunt the rules end up being the iconic pieces that go down in history, or infamy depending on ones point of view.
PVC shouldn't be chic, in fact any fabric that's wipe clean shouldn't be anywhere near chic, but this skirt and coat are high up my lust list. I blame Jonathan Saunders.

Iridescent metallics, surely they should only be seen on the wings of butterflies and the shell's of beetles? Yet wearing nature's most flashy colours is deeply appealing, maybe that's just me.

This is a look I've yet to try, mostly because I suspect I'll look like the Mario Brother's butch sister. However, I've seen some stylish girls rock this look, HARD.
Backpacks should be the preserve of students carting their heavy load of ready material two and from school, no? No! Backpacks have had a style renaissance, all the better for fashion and my poor abused shoulders.
White heels. They're just wrong, but oh so very, very right. The joy of clothes that are slightly dicey is that they provide edge to an otherwise dull outfit – a white heel with a chic dress lends a dash of essex girl danger to a look. I love it.

In this NBC Mystery Movie entry when the chief of detectives of the San Francisco Police Department died unexpectedly, the person at the top of the service list was Amy Prentiss, an attractive 35-year-old widow with a young daughter. There had never been a woman chief of detectives before, and many of the male officers who suddenly found themselves reporting to Amy resented it.
A measure of grudging respect gradually emerged, however, when her skill as an investigator became apparent in a series of cases that otherwise constituted standard crime-show fare. Unfortunately, viewers took less readily to the idea of woman as boss, and the program was cancelled after a short run.

My beautiful little fantasy of the whole family happily erecting the Christmas Tree, hanging decorations, whispering excitedly, assisting each other with placement advice, whilst humming carols was dashed when I returned from the yards this morning to find the job done and dusted. The tree was up, candles placed on any flat surface deemed suitable, wreaths hung and a selection of empty boxes and bags strewn across the loungeroom floor. Admittedly I was delayed a couple of hours, having found two new babies in need of some assistance to find the 'milky' end of their mums.
So, moving right along to Plan B of family togetherness. The harmonious gathering together of children to partake in the delights of Christmas baking. And it actually went quite beautifully. Maybe a little 'goodwill' and 'peace to all' is settling over us, along with the dust.
Or just maybe I'm getting a little more tolerant.
What's a little mess?
A whole lot of fun.

loyale a/c wiring - one wire or three?
Posted 26 April 2004 - 03:55 PM
when I got this car the guy said that the a/c worked. The car didn't run so I never had a chance to check. Anyway, when putting the wiring back together after the rebuild, I encountered three wires that appeared to head to the a/c compressor. One was a single wire with a white connector that I could connect to the compressor. The other two wires (green and red IIRC) went to a black connector, but I never found anything to connect it to. Back when I first asked about this I was told there was an electrical box of sorts that mounted to the top of the compressor, and this was where the black connector went, so I've resigned myself to the fact that I have no a/c until I find this box.
Last week I went to a junkyard to get some rear discs for my wagon and while I was there I looked under a few hoods. Two of the cars had a compressor like mine with the single wire plugged in, and the black connector not plugged in to anything. Now, I figure either I don't need this mystery box after all, or lots of other people need them and already stripped them off those cars.
So, I just had to check again....do I have a/c or not?
(FYI, I removed the compressor and never bothered to put it back on since I didn't think it worked, so I'd have to recharge before I could test it.)
Posted 26 April 2004 - 04:03 PM
Now onto your issue. Mine had 2 plugs for sure. This is on the round compressor, not the square one. What kind of compressor do you have? I seem to recall one pluging directly into the pump and another onto a little dongle plug. I can take a closer look at mine and see whats up but if we have two different compressors its a moot point.
Posted 26 April 2004 - 04:25 PM
Ok.. I have 3 plugs for my AC. \
Plug one-one wire- To AC compressor
Plug two-2 black wires- To AC compressor
Plug three-2 wires(red and green)- To the 'little black box' that bolts to the top of the compressor. It reads compressor RPMs so it knows to disengage if something is stuck. Will not work if this piece is missing/disconnected.
However, not all the AC setups had them. It depends on which compressor yours came with.
Posted 26 April 2004 - 04:57 PM
However, I can tell you it's pretty much round (cylindrical). It seems to me the single wire ultimately ran down into the compressor on the top side and very much towards the front, immediately behind the pulley.
Posted 27 April 2004 - 09:19 AM
The Chilton covers some other brands, but I don't see anything about this setup.
Anyone else got this brand? Is it one wire or all three?
Here's some other random info in case it matters....
on a big red sticker on the side: SOA329A200, LSM 1-2222
small red sticker: 509640-0633
light blue sticker: DKS-15BH
the info on the placard has mostly disappeared, here's what I could see:
Part No. 509630-(erased)
Comp type: DKS-(erased)
Posted 27 April 2004 - 10:47 AM
Put in the compressor, hook up the belt, plug it in and find out If it enguages when you turn on the AC (you will hear the clutch in teh pulley kick in and your RPMs will drop a bit) then you are good to go. If not we will have to investigate furhter! Don't run the AC pump long at all. The coolant acts as a lubricant also so you dont want to wear out your pump. Get it recharged before using the AC pump once you get it working.
Good luck
Posted 27 April 2004 - 01:20 PM
In any case, I'll hook it up and see what happens. Thanks!
(80+ degrees today...I better get moving)
Posted 27 April 2004 - 02:43 PM
Posted 27 April 2004 - 03:39 PM
Will there be a load on the compressor even without any refrigerant in the system?
In any case, I'll hook it up and see what happens. Thanks!
(80+ degrees today...I better get moving)
It's time to just stick it in and find out
Posted 27 April 2004 - 04:57 PM
so I have the compressor out and I taped over them end of the a/c hoses so no crap got in them. The car doesn't have a plain ol' "vent" setting...only heat, bi-level, and a/c. Will it hurt anything if I turn on the a/c now? without the coompressor hooked up, I mean.
I can't imagine it would,but I've been sticking with bi-level lest I piss off the electronics and mess something else up.
Posted 27 April 2004 - 10:05 PM
If the system has no refrigerant in it, you shouldn't be able to hurt anything anyway...although I just fried my compressor and it's clutch. There is a leak in the hose, that the previous owner told me about. I recovered any refrigerant I could from the system. The clutch went up in smoke today, as apparently when he re-wired the passenger side radiator fan, it also is feeding voltage back into the compressor clutch, and making it stay on all the time. So now my compressor seized up, since there is no oil in the system, and then the clutch fried.
Anybody removing their compressor? I'll take it off your hands...

New Delhi, June 2: The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) on Thursday released the second long-range monsoon forecast, and predicted an overall above-normal monsoon rainfall between June to September this year.
The forecast comes as confirmation for overall good rainfall this year after two years of drought and severe drought.
"Quantitatively, monsoon season rainfall for the country as a whole is likely to be 106 percent of the long period average (LPA)," IMD said.
IMD Director General Laxman Singh Rathore said that the northwest region of the country will receive 108 percent rainfall of LPA which is above normal, and central India and the southern peninsula region will receive 113 percent, which is excess.
If the rainfall is between 96 to 104 percent of LPA, it is considered "normal". Between 104-110 percent it is "above normal" and beyond 110 percent it is considered "excess."
With 107 percent of LPA, the IMD had forecast "above normal" rainfall in the country for July, and "normal" rainfall in August, with an error perception of nine percent.

With expectation of 94 percent of LPA, the northeastern regions will receive "below normal" rainfall.
"No one has predicted deficient rainfall this year. We can hope for good rains this year," an IMD official said.
For the past two years, over 2,55,000 villages across 255 districts and 10 states are suffering from drought that has affected over 33 crore people.
This year, however, pattern changes were evident with drop in 'El Nino', a climatic phenomenon which is the warm phase of the cycle of warm and cold temperatures in the Pacific Ocean that also impacts the monsoon.
A high El Nino has a negative effect in terms of the weather, agriculture and economics.

Introduction--About Me
Revised March of 2009
I am creating this blog in order to share my experiences with Babywise (BW). I do so to help people who are doing Babywise. I am not interested in debates, but I am happy to answer questions to the best of my ability. I think it is the best method for my family, but I am not a member of your family so I don't know what is best for yours.
My name is Valerie Plowman. I have a BS in English with an Emphasis on Technical Writing. My wonderful husband, Nate, and I have been married for five years. I have three beautiful children, Brayden who is almost four, Kaitlyn who is almost two, and McKenna who is a few days old. I am privileged to stay home and raise my children-I could not ask for a more rewarding career.
I started following On Becoming Babywise with Brayden when he was 9 weeks old. I had heard about it from a friend while I was pregnant, but never got around to getting the book until Brayden proved to be hard to get to sleep. I am forever grateful that he was as hard as he was. If not, I may not have turned to Babywise. Brayden soon became a model Babywise baby, and we have continued on in the series with Babywise II, Toddlerwise, and are just starting to implement Preschoolwise. Brayden is a polite, happy, and obedient three year old. Sure, we have our moments, but overall the toddler years have been nothing short of joyous. Brayden knows how to control himself and any behavioral problems we encounter are the result of some slacking in my parenting and are quickly and easily resolved after some minor reflection on my part.
With the wonderful results I saw in Brayden, I knew Babywise would be something I would apply to all of my children. I started Babywise with Kaitlyn at birth, including teaching her to self-soothe at one week. She had it down from the beginning. She has been such an easy baby, and while I know a lot of it is her disposition, I also am sure a lot has to do with the principles of Babywise. She has been an equally easy toddler up to this point. I have also started with McKenna at birth and have had nothing but good so far.
I love BW and know it is hard to find helpful BW info and help online, so I hope this blog can help anyone and everyone who needs it. Please post comments/questions! If you have a question that you don't see the answer to, please ask. I will do my best to answer. See Using This Blog for more on that.

Hi Valerie. My name is Kathee and I've been reading your blog for some time now. I just wanted to say thank you for the time and effort you put into communicating BW concepts and applications to total strangers, like me. Your experience has been invaluable to me.
We adopted our first child about seven months ago, when he was six months old. In the online community I'm involved with of other adoptive parents, it seems that no one teaches self-soothing or independent play or allows CIO. When we first had our son home, we implemented BW very slowly and we have been so happy with the results thus far. He is strongly attached to us and eats, sleeps, obeys and plays well.
All that to say, again, thank you for writing this blog. My husband and I have felt lonely in the adoption community because of our BW decisions and it has been wonderful to read your posts and get advice at times, find new ideas at times, or simply be reassured at times. God bless you and your family!

IsaacT1978 (Kathee),
Thanks for your thanks! I can definitely see why adoptive parents would find BW principles difficult. If you have been waiting a long time for a baby, it can be hard to structure sleep. But, in the end, it is what is best for your child. It provides healthy sleep. So good for you for putting his needs before your own!

Orban defiant after migrant quota poll declared invalid despite 98pc No vote
Viktor Orban's bid to strike a blow against Brussels faltered last night after his referendum on whether Hungary should accept EU migrant quotas was declared invalid after it failed to meet the turnout threshold.
More than 98pc of Hungarians voted No to the quotas in the referendum, but only 45pc of the eight million Hungarians registered to cast their vote did so, falling short of the required 50pc to make it legally valid.
Mr Orban played down his failure to bring enough voters to the polls last night, insisting there would be "legal consequences" regardless of the outcome.
The referendum was the brainchild of the far-right prime minister, who cast the No vote as a defence of the country's sovereignty and independence.
His 18bn forints (€57m) No campaign focused heavily on the fact that Isil terrorists, such as those behind the Paris and Brussels attacks, posed as migrants in 2015 while returning from Syria along the so-called 'Balkans route' of eastern European countries, including Hungary.
And the country's counter-terrorism centre revealed this week that Hungary became a "logistics hub" for jihadists in the months leading up to the November 13 massacre in Paris, which left 130 people dead and a further 368 injured.
The "hub" was used to co-ordinate Isil fighters posing as refugees with fake passports as they returned to central Europe via the Balkans route from Syria, intelligence chiefs said.
Data analysts claimed last night that Hungary's media also overwhelmingly backed the No vote, with 95pc of TV broadcasts leading up to the referendum supporting the government's position.
They also said 91pc of TV coverage about migrants in the same time period depicted them in a negative light.
Though the EU quotas would see only 1,924 migrants added to Hungary's population of 9.8 million, the vote is seen as highly symbolic of a tidal wave of anti-refugee sentiment sweeping across Europe.
Mr Orban maintains that parliament will pass legislation to advance the referendum's goal despite the turnout.
"The most important issue next week is for me to go to Brussels, hold negotiations and try with the help of this result - if appropriate - achieve for it not to be mandatory to take in the kind of people in Hungary we don't want to," he said. (© Daily Telegraph, London)

One thing is clear – when it comes to the Cape Henlopen Senior Center, all parties involved want what's best for the center in Rehoboth Beach.
The problem is there are different views when it comes to what's best.
For months an internal battle has been brewing between center members and its board of directors about the direction the center has taken.
Members say that since executive director Leslie Boehlert was hired in February 2013, the center has changed for the worse, and employee morale is at an all-time low.
Board directors counter that there's a period of adjustment during any transition and that a lack of communication accounts for much of the trouble.
The lines of communication between the two groups got a little clearer July 30 when center members called a special meeting and invited members of the board to attend – 13 of 16 did.
According to multiple accounts, the meeting began with a flurry of disruptions from members who didn't want to be constructively involved in the process; later it turned into a productive event.
"It was a very good meeting," said Patrick Canan, board president.
Members had an opportunity to spell out their concerns, said Canan, and the board was there to listen.
The issue with Boehlert and the firing of bus driver/event coordinator Theresa Shaffer aside, members said they are concerned with the board's disregard for the center's by-laws.
There are not very many they follow by way of the by-laws, said center member Jeanne Sisk.
Topping the list of violations is the number of people on the board. The by-laws provide for nine to 11, but there are currently 16. The meetings are not recorded and the minutes aren't posted, said Sisk, adding that board members are supposed to be approved, but the last few appear to have been hand picked.
Center member Bobbie Hemmerick said members have ask for a moratorium on decision making until these issues can be resolved. There seems to be a small group of people who have grown power hungry, she said.
"The process has to be clean, open and, most importantly, governed by its own by-laws," she said.
Rehoboth Beach Police Chief Keith Banks is a board member; he said he told the group that there may have been mistakes made in the past, but for the organization to move forward, everyone was going to have to work together.
"I hate to go into a meeting and have yelling, because nobody is listening," said Banks, who isn't a member, but has been on the board for six years. "We need to work together. It's a great center."
By the end of the meeting, some agreements had been reached. First, prior to the next officially scheduled board meeting Sept. 30, there will be a special board meeting in August where members of the center can officially address the board. Second, by the September meeting, the board will have reviewed the organization's policies and procedures, and then make recommendations. Third, the board will also review the budget and create a line item for every expense and expenditure.
"We're hoping that we've broken the gridlock," said Canan. "Everybody loves the center. In my opinion, the meeting was a real breakthrough to get towards specifically addressing members issues."

Psychosocial factors and risk of hypertension: the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) studyQuantitative Health Sciences Publications and Presentations
UMMS AffiliationDepartment of Quantitative Health Sciences
Document TypeArticle
Medical Subject HeadingsAdult; Affective Symptoms; African Americans; Anxiety; Blood Pressure; Competitive Behavior; Coronary Artery Disease; Depression; Educational Status; Emotions; European Continental Ancestry Group; Female; Hostility; Humans; Hypertension; Logistic Models; Longitudinal Studies; Male; Multivariate Analysis; Prospective Studies; Risk Factors; Stress, Psychological
AbstractCONTEXT: Although psychosocial factors are correlated, previous studies on risk factors for hypertension have typically examined psychosocial factors individually and have yielded inconsistent findings. OBJECTIVE: To examine the role of psychosocial factors of time urgency/impatience (TUI), achievement striving/competitiveness (ASC), hostility, depression, and anxiety on long-term risk of hypertension. DESIGN, SETTING, AND STUDY POPULATION: A population-based, prospective, observational study using participant data from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study. A total of 3308 black and white adults aged 18 to 30 years (when recruited in 1985 and 1986) from 4 US metropolitan areas and followed up through 2000 to 2001. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Fifteen-year cumulative incidence of hypertension (systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher, diastolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg or higher, or taking antihypertensive medication). RESULTS: The incidence of hypertension at year 15 was 15% from baseline and 13.6% from year 5. After adjusting for the same set of hypertension risk factors and each of the psychosocial factors of TUI, ASC, hostility, depression, and anxiety in 5 separate logistic regression models, higher TUI and hostility were significantly associated with risk of developing hypertension at 15-year follow-up for the total sample. Compared with the lowest score group, the adjusted odds ratio (OR) for TUI was 1.51 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.12-2.03) for a score of 1; 1.47 (95% CI, 1.08-2.02) for a score of 2; and 1.84 (95% CI, 1.29-2.62) for a score of 3 to 4 (P for trend =.001). Compared with the lowest quartile group, the adjusted OR for hostility was 1.06 (95% CI, 0.76-1.47) for quartile 2; 1.38 (95% CI, 1.00-1.91) for quartile 3; and 1.84 (95% CI, 1.33-2.54) for quartile 4 (P for trend <.001). No consistent patterns were found for ASC, depression, or anxiety. Race- and sex-specific analyses and multivariable models with simultaneous adjustment for all 5 psychosocial factors and other hypertension risk factors had generally similar results. CONCLUSION: Among young adults, TUI and hostility were associated with a dose-response increase in the long-term risk of hypertension.

The internet is a hotbed for weirdness, and interest breeds interest over time. Some of the things that have found fame on the tubes have proven to be so awful it's just completely hard to ignore.
Other internet phenomenons deserve the buzz they get.
Every year, the World Beard and Moustache Championships in Brighton, England brings the best of the best in facial hair to the table for an all out hairy brawl. Not surprisingly, the internet turns it's massive head with a proud glare as traffic pours in to the results of this cultish phenomenon. Why, you ask? Well, basically it's the most amazing thing you've ever seen.
The competition is broken down into 3 main events: moustaches, partial beards, and full beards. Within each event are specific categories that keep the playing field somewhat fair. Some of these categories are as follows:
- Imperial Partial Beard – Hair to be grown only on the cheeks and upper lip. Moustache integrated. The ends must point upwards and not be curled. Aids Allowed.
- Hungarian Moustache – Big and bushy, beginning from the middle of the upper lip and pulled to the side. The hairs are allowed to start growing from up to a maximum of 1.5 cm beyond the end of the upper lip.
- Garibaldi Full Beard – Broad, full and round. Length not to exceed 20 cm, moustache integrated. Aids not allowed.
The competition has a remarkably detailed form of judging and is very serious. It's perfection like this that brings beards in like what you see below. Check out more from the links provided. Of all the cool, natural masks you could possibly have, these beards and moustaches take the cake.

There's something strange about the male nurses who only take night shifts at Christopher's hospital, and when blood starts to mysteriously go missing from the cold storage, he's assigned to find out what it is.
It's only then that Chris succumbs to his hidden gay desires and realizes just how handsome and brooding these guys really are. But when he catches them in the act, unveiling their vampiric secret, Chris suddenly finds himself deep under the erotic spell of a gay vampire gangbang.

|Editor-in-Chief Jonathan Beverly, back in his Maine high school track days.
In 1979, as a high school sophomore, my most prized possession was a pair of New Balance 455s. With state-of-the-art nylon uppers, a combination last, EVA midsole, and waffle outsoles, I wore them for cross country, track, and summer training and road racing. Slipping on the retro version of the 455, my first impression was, Wow, this is how a running shoe should feel -- simple, roomy, not trying to hug your foot or rearrange your stride. Heading down the road, the familiar flash of them moving beneath me brought back memories of the back roads of Maine. Within 4 miles, however, my hips and feet reminded me of all the miles I put on shoes like these, and the modern-
Adidas Marathon Trainer
This classic was my staple for many a mile 20 Years ago, mostly because I was on a grad student budget and lived near the Mesa Trail, and needed shoe that could take a beating and maintain its firm-midsole integrity over literally thousands of rugged miles. Its land-grabbing multi-level trefoil tread made it the best trail shoe available back then. And while it was an icon of durability and versatility back in the day, wearing it now makes me realize that we've come a long way since the time of impact spoilers and midsoles that gave renewed meaning to the word "firm." I only wish my legs had experienced such improvements in two decades. --Adam Chase
Asics Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81
When I started running in high school, the really cool guys on the team wore Onitsuka Tigers, which they traveled several towns away to buy. The primary model was the Pinto, basically a blue nylon upper with not much more than a slipper outsole stitched to the bottom; when you ran in them, you could feel every twig and pebble through these first and ultimate "minimalist" shoes. You damn well had to possess good running form or you wouldn't make it through the season in them. Those seeking an ultra-cool factor might buy a pair of Ohbori, designed for Frank Shorter in 1971. They had a bit more padding underfoot and a gum-rubber, suction cup-like outsole. At more than $50, in mid-'70s bucks they were more expensive than any shoe made today.
Alas, like one's first car or a high school girlfriend, those early speed-slippers haven't aged too gracefully -- or perhaps more accurately, we older runners haven't. A pair of Ultimate 81s sported the distinctive octopus outsole, but while the two-tone midsole hinted at some degree of cushioning, just a short run around the block painfully revealed that notion as little more than an unrealized promise. And the nylon upper, so envied three decades ago by those of us whose budgetary constraints limited us to leather shoes (yes, it was cheaper back then), was stiff and clammy compared to today's ubiquitous mesh.
Back in the day I thought my VW bug was the perfect driving machine, but I certainly wouldn't want to make a long trip in one now. Similarly, the memory of Onitsuka Tigers has been outstripped by their current reality, and sadly, their cool factor has faded like those fond recollections of faster times and slipper-like shoes. --Jim Gerweck

Calling my doc...*UPDATED IN POST #7*
First thing on the a.m. I will be calling my doc to get my lab results from March 10!!!! Hopefully go ahead and induce AF......never thought I would ever say this but I have missed the witch! Haven't seen her since January and sooooo ready to just start a cycle already!
Re: Calling my doc...
Good luck I hope they give you something to bring the witch and get a new cycle going :)
Re: Calling my doc...
Good luck! I had 60+ day cycles when I was ttc the first time so I know exactly how you feel. I think I took Provera for a week and within about two days of stopping it AF finally made her arrival. Are you going to be taking clomid to make you O too? If you have any questions about what I did the first time around let me know:)
Re: Calling my doc...
She says I'm not annovulatory just that I skipped a month probably because it was the first month I was actively testing and tracking my cycle. Stress probably. So, she doesn't think I need Clomid. She's 99% sure I have been ovulating regularly since about October going off my cycles and labwork. I had more labs 2 weeks ago and that's what I am waiting on. We'll see! I'll KUP tho!
Re: Calling my doc...
Yeah, stress can definately cause an annovulatory cycle. Hope the labwork comes back great!
Re: Calling my doc...
So, I just got the call from Doc....here's the results:
FSH & LH were, agian, perfect
TSH was awful and starting thyroid meds (HYPOthyroidism)
Insulin levels still a little high even on Metformin so we are going to 2000mg/day (was taking 1500)
Starting Provera to induce AF (I drank Parsely tea twice yesterday and still no show)
not the best news in the world but I feel like at least we are getting somewhere :)
the larger dose of Met and the throid meds should help with more weight loss so there's my silver lining LOL
Re: Calling my doc...*UPDATED IN POST #7*
Like you said, not ALL bad news. I hope they find something that works for you!
Re: Calling my doc...*UPDATED IN POST #7*
Glad to hear you finally have some answers Nichol. My sister suffers from Hashimoto's thyroiditis (hypothyroid) and once she got on meds everything seemed to fall into place for her. It took a bit to regulate the meds, but once they did it was great. I hope all of this works out for you soon!
Re: Calling my doc...*UPDATED IN POST #7*
well, at least now you know! Thats got to be great! hopefully things start moving here for you really soon!! And I hope AF isn't terrible for you either!! Hopefully she can make a short and sweet appearance and get the job done!
