If It Looks Like A Christmas Tree
Jeff Jacoby writes about De-Christmasing Christmas…………
WHEN A commotion erupted over the fact that the 48-foot white spruce installed on the Boston Common — an annual gift from the people of Nova Scotia — is identified on Boston's official website as a ''holiday tree," the city's commissioner of parks and recreation sided firmly with the critics. ''This is a Christmas tree," Antonia Pollak declared. ''It's definitely a Christmas tree."
Good to know Pollak knows a Christmas tree when she sees one.

Am I the only person who can be away from a computer for a week and upon returning feel like it's an alien concept once again? Probably, I'm weird like that. I've never made so many typos I swear, taking me ages to type anything! Jist of the post: back from Wales tonight, tired as fuck, need to get my bearings. I like that the entire time I was away I didn't miss WoW once. In fact I enjoyed the break. Tight raiding schedules and such make it difficult to slow down so an entire week away was lovely. Though I got a couple of bits for Christmas I've been dying to try out (shamefacedly the Sims 3, I kinda missed the crappy little game!) One thing I've really missed was actually animecrazy.net/instantz.net, I really want to get on with watching the Code Geass series and I might go hunt the DvD software so I can watch some more DvDs.
On the blogging front I'm asleep, I've had a week away from WoW and my mind isn't within WoW at all, so I'll give the Secret Santa a crack tomorrow.

How can we say that this kind of format that tv shows brings for the masses is the fastest way to skip poverty and jump in the most luxurious high class subdivision once they won the grand prize in such a manner of purely one hundred percent luck.
I cannot say this is one way of helping others by simply making business out of the misfortunes of poor people by insisting them that heaven above will pour all the money straight to their arms..
Of courseI want to try my luck too, in a country that i know the possibilities to earn and make me richer someday.

Jayce Build Guide by 181jenkins
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Jayce Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Jayce Mid Carry,
Hey guys first guide :P,
Ok so what you will want to do is play him Range most of the game and allways combo your "Q" with your "E"
With the runes and mastery's, and depending on the champion you can take 1/4, maby 1/2 of the health of the champion,
You should be able to get a fast kill at level 2, "e", then "q" if it hits the champ, you will then want to "R", then "Q", "E", then if you have ignite you should pick up that kill.
Alot of people are like Jayce mid?????, as in he can melee, but as you are in Range for most of the time you can do crazy burst damage,
For running away you will always want to put down your gate, for the speed boost, and maybe throw a "Q" behind you for the combo shot, you will be surprised on how many kills you can get doing this,
When at turrets its easer to press "w" this should down them fast, also if you feel like you can use it on chaps do that too, but as your damage is bursty and high, there is not much need.
I think thats about it, enjoy my guide.

Guelph, On, December 8, 2014 – On Saturday, December 13, the City's police, firefighters and paramedics will be collecting non-perishable food and cash donations in support of the Guelph Food Bank.
The third annual 'Stuff an Ambulance' event will take place at two Zehrs locations in Guelph—124 Clair Road East and 1045 Paisley Road.
This year, organizers are hoping to collect more than 20,000 pounds of food—the same number collected over the last two years. The event has also raised $7,500 in cash donations.
"Guelph is a generous community and this event is one way for our emergency first responders to give back to the community we serve. All employees volunteer to participate in this event and are excited to see how many ambulances will get stuffed with much-needed food this year," says Leanne Swantko, deputy chief of Guelph-Wellington Emergency Medical Service.
Emergency first responders will also provide tours of the police cruisers, ambulances and fire apparatus on site.

Discussion in 'Saltwater' started by Connor H, Jan 17, 2009.
not accounting for chewed up flies, ldr's, etc... consistently for four hours? c'mon.
Counting fish, what a waste of time. I thought that getiting out was the main thing. But counting fish. No way. I guess that now you can call it catching instead of just fishing.
I agree with Old Man...
I don't count. Just backing these guys up. Probably not consistently for 4 hours, but it can get pretty hot out there. Almost annoying really. It's not a challenge at that point.
Great numbers, but I value the day more than the result. I can recall a few days of silvers in a bay and chum in a couple of rivers that I caught a bunch of fish and left the water exhausted after so many great hookups and battles. No idea how many, but after a constant string of 10-15lb chum and the long time to land some of them the day was great even if I don't know the tally. Generally I'm hoping for one...
Agree with "old man Jim" . The enjoyment and challenge of fly fishing is not about fish "counts".
Nice to see your doin' fine there Jim!!! How about you come down and actually catch some fish sometime???
:beer2: cheers to the kid and his dad for having a great and productive day on the water. It's nice to know there are those kind of numbers out there. The four fish I caught over the weekend were super fun for me for the reasons Roger mentions. However, if I were to get in a spot with non stop action you wouldn't see me moving because it wasn't challenging enough!:beathead:
Bottom line IS: Zach and me went fishing.....we caught bunches of 15in coho.....didnt keep track...never do, for gods sake they are just bunches of juvenile silvers! They are fun because of the numbers you can catch but to me the real gem in sea run cutthroat which I only caught two smaller ones. Btw Conner, we didnt fish in front of your grandma's house, closest Ive been to Fox Island is the narrows so your spot is unknown to me. However I dont really think spots matter a ton as I could probley go fish a mud puddle infront of my house and catch a rezzy as there are so many around.
I hate numbers and math. Those classes were the worst in school.
i didnt go to your grandmas house connor its not like that is the only beach around the harbor. trust me theres a lot better beaches around your just not aware of them mr. moses lake. and wheres my money connor?
I do catch fish here. I just can't do it for a long time durning the day. I'm getting on in years so my time is limited to how long I can stay out on the water. I don't get to far from my truck. About an hour is long enough for me. Then I have to rest. I used to go for all day but not anymore. But don't cut me any slack as I love the banter here. Give me a bad time and then you get it right back.
A long walk for me is across the street Can't do the river bank walking anymore. I try but my knees won't let me go, unless it is fairly level.
Best year for res. Coho!
What is a better launch to put in at Fox Is. or Gig Harbor? Only have a limited amount of time.
South Sound, I'm not that familiar with those launches but as I review my notes from trusted friends, charts and map I'd like to complicate your question. Fox Island and Gig Harbor launches are fine, probably equidistant to the Narrows Bridge. Why not consider the launches at Day Island south along the shore on the Tacoma side from Titlow or Wollochet Bay? Both of those seem much closer to the TNB to me. Don't take my word for it though, but check out all four launches and make up your mind...unless you are taking me fishing and I'll tell you where we are meeting.

Will Curious George's New Job in NYC Lure Tourists to Boston?
Our New York neighbors have finally caught on to what Boston has known for years — Curious George rocks!
Curious George has been named New York City's official family ambassador. The city is hoping the popular children's book character's face on its travel guides to beaches, zoos, and museums will lure more families to the Big Apple. New York City's ambassador program, which launched in 2009, has increased family visitation in the city by 26.5 percent, reports the Associated Press. Last year's ambassador was "Where's Waldo.''
That's all fine and dandy, New York. But let's not forget that Boston is home to The Curious George Store, billed as the only Curious George store in the world and located in Harvard Square. Owner Adam Hirsch told us he's happy about George's new role, saying, "I think that's wonderful.''
The question is, will George's higher profile lure New York tourists to Boston too?
"I certainly hope it does raise our profile,'' said Hirsch. "If they learn that the world's only Curious George store is here in the heart of Harvard Square, it wouldn't be horrible.''
According to Hirsch, The Curious George Store is very much a Boston experience. As the only Curious George store in the world, his goal was to make his store an iconic Boston destination, much like the Freedom Trail, Fenway Park, and Faneuil Hall.
Hirsch aims to give visitors a once in a lifetime opportunity at his store. In that vein, the store offers unique and collectible merchandise available only in Boston. Not only that, but the store offers valet parking for strollers, reading nooks for small children, a toy testing area for kids, exclusive T-shirts, and special events such as scavenger hunts and story times where kids can meet George himself.
We love this Instagram pic posted by mom Katie Freeman in Springfield, Missouri, which captures a child's love of Curious George perfectly.
Sure, New York City has plenty of family-friendly things to do. But if the Freeman family heads to the Northeast, maybe they'll bring their little Curious George lover our way.

Great cozy cabin with lots of beautiful views
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the "Treehouse". Everything we needed was there except for the food!
This cabin trip has been by far the best we have been on. The cabin is well equipped and regardless of all the trees, it is still a sight to see. We will definitely be coming again! Thank you Carol.
It was great. I would love to stay there in the fall/ winter for the view.
My brother's and I stayed here for a few days. Great cabin, close to lots of good hiking, comfortable accommodations, usable kitchen. We loved the screened porch and deck. Our only complaint was that the view is completely blocked by trees!! There is a lot to be gained if the owners are able to trim or take down a couple trees right in front of the deck. Luckily we saw views on our hikes, but would have loved views from the house also.
This is minor, but we were also confused by all the light switches. There are so many, and half of them don't appear to do anything. Maybe labels would help.
Overall though, were were very comfortable and happy with our stay.
This canin was great and very accommodating for our group. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything and everything we might need. We were thoroughly impressed with this cabin!! Loved it!!
Very close to Blood Mountain and the Appalachian trail for hiking.
Restaurants are with a few miles for great BBQ at Jim's smoking BBQ Thursday-Saturday, or Pappy's riverside rest. Travel to Blairsville and check out our Chamber of Commerce and Butternut Golf course. If shopping interest you, then you have to make a trip to Alexander's! They have everything!. If you prefer water, our area boasts 3 lakes, Lake Blue Ridge, Lake Nottely (Blairsville) and lake Chatuge (Hiawassee). We have trout streams and rivers if fly fishing is an interest ~ Raft or Kayak the Toccoa River ~ Check out our live theatre in Blue Ridge or Hiawassee for the latest shows. Blue Ridge is 23 miles down the road and has the famous Swan Drive Inn with shows every night at dark. While in Blue Ridge, take a train ride through the countryside to McCaysville/Copperhill and back. Make sure you save time to walk main street in Blue Ridge for all the specialty shops that offer from clothes, candies, foods, olive oil, and home of our cup cake war winners from the recent TV show. Come stay and play with us! you will not want to leave and can't wait to get back!

Unanswered: Record save when moving from Detail to Header
I have an form that consists of a header with an unbound control that is used to select the record shown in Detail. This works correctly.
In the Detail section are the fields from the master table and sub-forms with fields from linked tables. Everything works fine with one exception:
If info in a field in Detail is updated and then the unbound header control is selected, and another name entered; the VBA code to find the requested record doesn't get executed [Runtime Error 3020; Update or Cancel Update without AddNew or Edit], and eventually there is a message:
You can't save this record at this time.
Microsoft Access may have encountered an error while trying to save a record.
If you close this object now, the data changes you made will be lost.
Do you want to close the database object anyway?
Clicking the DeBug in the 3020 error message highlights the Me! line in the Code for the form:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Me![DateLastUpdate].Value = Now()
End Sub
I've taken to doing a PgUp or PgDn after doing my work so the changes are processed prior to clicking in the Header field.
What is the best solution for this. Do I need to change the Form_BeforeUpdate and make one for each field, (I hope not)?

It sounds like somewhere between the record didnt finish saving , or it started another edit...
Put a save record code at txtBOX in the header ON GOT FOCUS event
to ensure the save.
sub txtbox_ongotfocus() on error resume next DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord

7 Days By: Craig David
Intro: Em-Bm-Bm
VERSE 1 Em-Bm-Bm
On my way to see my friends who lived a couple blocks away from me
As I walked through the subway it must've been about quarter past 3
In front of me stood a beautiful honey with a beautiful body
She asked me for the time I said it'd cost her her name
A six digit number & a date with me tomorrow at nine
Did she decline? No…didn't she mind? I don't think so
Was it for real? Damn sure…what was the deal? A pretty girl aged 24
So was she keen? She couldn't wait…cinnamon queen? let me update
What did she say? She said she'd love to rendezvous
She asked me what we were gonna do
Said we'd start with a bottle of moet for two
CHORUS Em-Bm-Bm
Monday, took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday, Friday, Saturday we chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday
VERSE 2 Em-Bm-Bm
Nine was the time 'cos I'll be getting mine and she was looking fine
Smooth talker she told me She'd love to unfold me all night long
I loved the way she kicked it from the front to back she flipped it
And I oh I hope that she'd care 'cos I'm a man who'll always be there
I'm not a man to play around baby
'Cus a one night stand isn't really fair
From the first impression girl you don't seem to be like that
'Cus there's no need to chat for there'll be plenty for that
From the subway to my home endless ringing of my phone
When you feeling all alone all you gotta do
Is just call me call me
Bm Em Bm Em
Since I met this special lady I can't get her of my mind
Bm Em
She's one of a kind and I ain't about to deny it
Bm B7
It's a special kind thing with you-oh

The Arch Street Teen Center, located at 100 Arch Street in Greenwich, is said to be the longest-running, privately funded center for teens in the United States. In order to record the history and accomplishments of this organization, Greenwich Oral History Project interviewer, Renee Lux, conducted interviews with some of the center's key members and supporters, all with important stories to share, some going back to the organization's founding. It is fitting to focus on these interviews since the teen center will celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary, November, 2016.
It is important to recognize that there are many community members who have been instrumental in the center's success, who have given time and great effort. We focus here on four who represent what it takes to make a teen center a success.
Judith A. Donahue, one of the four narrators interviewed, was there from the beginning. She told our OHP interviewer that a friend had recruited her in 1985 to give six months of her time to a feasibility study for a teen center in town. Six years later, after much involvement, the feasibility of a drug-free, alcohol-free center where teens could successfully gather for fun and camaraderie became a reality. (OHP interview: Judith A. Donahue, "The Arch Street Teen Center," October 7, 2014.)
Equally important and instrumental in seeing the teen center flourish was State Senator, L. Scott Frantz, whose interest in the center began early on, after the death of his younger brother, Chris, an early advocate of a safe place for teens to gather. After his death in an aviation accident at age twenty-two, Senator Frantz's mother, Ann Haebler Frantz, took up the cause, but when she too died, in1988, the Senator was the sole family member left to see his brother's dream become a reality. (OHP interview: Senator L. Scott Frantz, "The Arch Street Teen Center," October 1, 2014.)
|State Senator, L. Scott Frantz
While Ms. Donahue and State Senator Frantz are key figures representing the commitment and work it took to make the Arch Street Teen Center the vibrant success it is today, one of the narrators interviewed is on the frontlines daily, Executive Director, Kyle Silver, who has been at the organization's helm since 1997, six years after the official opening, when Mr. Silver was still a student at the University of North Carolina.
A big part of Mr. Silver's job is providing programs and events inspiring enough to tear teens away from social media and to bring them into the Arch Street location and into the community for service projects, as with Neighbor-to-Neighbor, for which the center won a student organization of the year award. Then there are the weekend evening events drawing hundreds of students and the conference events bringing in celebrities and well-known public figures to speak on important topics from careers to the environment.
Less in the public eye but equally important are the routine day-to-day operational duties, keeping the budget in line, growing attendance while securing safety and maintaining a drug and alcohol free environment at events. Additionally, there is the challenge of communications, so important to maintaining support for the center's existence.
Taken together, the challenges are enormous, and yet the Greenwich Center has become a template around the country for those communities who would like a teen center of their own lasting longer than a year or two. When Ms. Lux asked Mr. Silver about Arch Street's success, his answer was immediate:
"I can tell you the definite answer to that; it's because we give so much ownership to the teens when it comes to planning the events."
|Executive Director, Kyle Silver
Ownership must be initiated by the teens themselves, Mr. Silver stresses. That ownership ensures success of the programs, of community support, of the facility itself. The teens are the ones who ensure the center's mission, "to provide teens with a safe environment in which to connect and socialize with their peers." It's that simple, and, according to Mr. Silver, "…it's stood the test of time" because, he says, when you "grow from a simple base, you can have something extraordinary."
At the Arch Street Teen Center the structure of the teen board provides that simple base. The students who underpin the ownership required for success are those on the leadership council: the president, the co-president, the vice-president, and the teen board. Working together the teen leadership committees and the adult committees provide a foundation strong enough to weather challenges that can appear daunting to the casual observer.
Simply reading Mr. Silver's interview gives an indication of how he goes about his job on any given day: steadfastly maintaining a policy of zero tolerance for drugs and alcohol; staying informed, whether on the premises or away, with Blackberry always handy; checking emails constantly; keeping his sites on what's going on socially among his "customer base"; being aware of the unique challenges a town like Greenwich presents, making sure kids of varying economic backgrounds and experiences can come together in a place that welcomes them all as equals.
With all this in mind, it is easy to understand that Executive Director Kyle Silver is proud of his successes, remembering when those events that now produce four hundred attendees once saw only thirty or forty.
Mr. Silver concludes with this observation: "Teenagers are a very tough demographic because they're challenging on a lot of levels….So we have our challenges, without a doubt, but at the same time the community support has been outstanding." Things are, it seems to Mr. Silver, "to be as good as it could be." (OHP Interview, Kyle Silver, "The Arch Street Teen Center," October 23, 2014.)
Our fourth interview, with Alex Gibbons, president of the teen board for two terms until his graduation in June, 2016, will be the subject of a separate post by our own student Oral History Project volunteer, Olivia Luntz. It's next up.

Survival horror is making a comeback and it is beingpioneered by none other than Shinji Mikami,an absolute master of the genre!The Evil Withinis poised to truly put the 'survival' back into 'survival horror', Mikami's thoughts when approaching the project were "that contemporary horror games relied more on action than survival" and we are so ready for his remedy!
Every aspect of the game points towards the goal of making the player feel powerless, rather than the all too common 'slightly inconvienced hero'. Confined spaces, limitingammunition, and presenting near-invincible enemies are just some of the ways Shinji Mikami and Tango Gameworks hope to move the focus from action and fighting to survival and escape. Played from a third person perspective the title focuses on scavenging for supplies and getting in touch with your essential fight or flight instincts.
Thankfully it seems Mikami has avoided overshooting to the opposite end of the spectrum and has opted out ofmaking our protagonist, Sebastian Castellanos, a damsel in distress. There will definitely be combat where you fight enemiesbut it would seem you will rarely be the aggressor. You won't be entirely helpless though, withaccess to various weapons such as a revolver, shotgun, knife, grenades, and the Agony Crossbow -a projectile weapon that fires bolts capable of freezing, blinding, electrocuting, or exploding enemies.Melee combat is used to put distance between yourself and monstrosities that await you -think a struggle rather than an actual balanced fight.

Great experience survival horror , Better than RE 6.
Buy it now ♡♡
But good game
Started playing and havent stopped, good story so far. characters are very well created. I hope it will develop into a memorable experience.
If you are a fan of horror and or Resident Evil 4 you will enjoy this game a lot. It's very atmospheric/creepy and a lot of fun to play. Plus the amount of influence felt from RE4 is quite satisfying.
It isn't perfect and can be a little frustrating at times, for example the stealth in the game can be harder than it should be because the camera refuses to let you look where you need to so you can avoid enemies sometimes. But its flaws are minor, and its a very well done horror game. Nothing at all like the RE games that followed 4.

very heartfelt and very inspiring…changes the way we look at life and death doesn't it?
If God, for a second, forgot what I have become and granted me a little bit more of life, I would use it to the best of my ability.
I wouldn't, possibly, say everything that is in my mind, but I would be more thoughtful of all I say.
I would give merit to things not for what they are worth, but for what they mean to express.
I would sleep little, I would dream more, because I know that for every minute that we close our eyes, we waste 60 seconds of light.
I would walk while others stop; I would awake while others…

Clifford Chance hires EC heavyweight for regulatory push" />Clifford Chance clients will be able to tap into expert advice on a range of European policies following the hire of the former director general of the European Commission's legal service.
Michel Petite, who led the EC's legal service from 2001, joins the firm this month to advise on European legislation as well as international commercial law and litigation at the World Trade Organisation court.
Clifford Chance managing partner David Childs said: "In recent years we have seen a major increase in demand from global clients seeking guidance on how best to work within the EU framework to achieve their commercial objectives in Europe. Michel's experience will be invaluable in providing advice to these clients."
Simon Baxter, head of the firm's European competition and regulation group, added that, as it is unusual for an EC legal service head to move into private practice, his addition is a great opportunity for the firm.
"He is an experienced and highly respected Commission official who will bring significant insights for our clients into all areas of European Commission policy," he said.
Petite has spent almost three decades working at the European Commission, joining in 1979 and working under Commission presidents Jacques Delors, Romano Prodi and Jose Manuel Barroso. In 1990 he was appointed head of the unit for the control of mergers, after adoption of the EU's merger regulation, and later director for state aid.
In his role as director general of the legal service Petite has been involved in the negotiation and drafting of the Amsterdam Treaty.
Petite said: "A global law firm of the stature of Clifford Chance offers me the ideal platform for the next phase of my career outside the Commission. I am looking forward to being of service to their global clients, providing advice on how to work most productively within the legal and regulatory structures of the EU."
Having been based in Brussels during his time at the Commission, Petite joins Clifford Chance's Paris office, although the role is a global one.
It is understood that Petite is only the second EC legal service head to move into private practice. Claus-Dieter Ehlermann, who was director general in the 1980s, moved to WilmerHale on retiring from the Commission, though he had already stood down from the legal service.

I recently got married at Lookout Lodge, and it was a perfect experience. Lookout Lodge was just the right size for our group of about 50 people. Of course, not everyone could stay there because it is a little place, but that is one of the reasons we loved it. Everyone at the location was there for us, so we didn't have to worry about strangers participating in our special day. The other main reason we picked this location is because we were allowed to basically do whatever we wanted. There weren't a lot of restrictions put on us about food and music and time and people like a lot of the larger resorts tend to impose. We are laid-back people, so we just wanted a laid-back wedding, and Lookout Lodge really was the perfect place for this. Everything went better than we even planned because of the staff at Lookout, too. First of all, their event planner/wedding coordinator, Laurie, is amazing at what she does. We didn't need a lot of her help with the planning because we had so much help from others, but she offered it all along the way. And when we got there, she went above and beyond anything we had asked of her to make sure everything looked beautiful and "just right". She helped us set up and clean up and really took care of everything, so that we did not have to worry about anything. Plus, all of our vendors (baker, DJ, steel drummer, caterer) were recommended by her, and we were impressed with all of them and the services provided. Furthermore, Greg was a great bartender for us. He fit right in with our casual, island theme. Before and after the wedding, when he was working at the front desk, he did everything he could to ensure that all our guests were comfortable in their rooms and had everything they needed. In addition, Hector was an amazing help to us. He made sure the place was spotless before the wedding started, and he helped in any way he could. Lastly, Don oversaw everything, so that we could all have the best experience possible. I would HIGHLY recommend this little cozy resort for any special event. But even if you don't have anything special to celebrate, it is also just a great place to stay for a relaxing vacation. All the rooms had plenty of amenities and were very clean. Overall, it was a perfect weekend for us!

Marine industry's leading solutions and services provider, Wärtsilä, has undersign an official agreement with China Oilfield Services Limited (COSL) to provide the designs for 6 new vessels.
The 2 PSVs (Platform Supply Vessels) and 4 Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) ships are initially going to secure support operations in the South China Sea and Bohai Bay. The deal was signed in December 2012.
The platform supply vessels are based on Wärtsilä Vessel Design's well proven VS 485 PSV MKIII design which offers a highly energy and environmentally efficient ship solution with an optimised hull design for better efficiency, with corresponding reduced emission to air. The anchor handing tug supply ships will be constructed according to the Wärtsilä Ship Design VS 4612 AHTS design. The main function of AHTS ships is to set anchors for drilling rigs, and tow mobile drilling rigs from one area to another. Since the sea and weather conditions when these vessels work is usually extremely challenging, a design which offers reliability and high levels of efficiency and implementation is called for.
"We have enjoyed so many years of close relationship with both China National Offshore Oil Corporation and its subsidiary China Oilfield Services Ltd (COSL), and they are very familiar with Wärtsilä Company's broad range of solutions, including our vessel designs, propulsion system, automation and control technologies, and our environmental compliance solutions. Our values are also very much aligned, with both corporations emphasising total lifecycle expenditures, energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability," told Riku-Pekka Hägg, Vice President, Wärtsilä Vessel Design.
The Ship Design range of vessel designs and design services of Wärtsilä is backed by its strong global presence. The broad offering is including simple, low costs, proven standard designs, generally with a full equipment package, and advanced, customized designs based upon customer integrated project development.
6 Offshore ships for COSL to be designed by Wartsila
Marine industry's leading solutions and services provider, Wärtsilä, has undersign an official agreement with China Oilfield Services Limited (COSL) to provide the designs for 6 new vessels.

What current play do you feel is the most likely to be on the juice?
Mine would be Edwin Encarnacion.
Would not be surprised if Bautista was either.
I agree with Encarnacion and possibly Bautista. I am always suspect when a player starts greatly exceeding their expectations especially those with an average track record. For many years Encarnacion was a .250-.260 BA with 20-25 HR potential...then this year he puts up Miquel Cabrera type stats. Similiar jump as Melky Cabrera over the last two seasons.
Minor leaguers on the verge of washing out and contract year players
Bud Selig
Rickie Weeks
Ryan Braun
I'm shocked that Albert Pujols has never tested positive. However, if he continues his decline in 2013, then I'm more apt to believe his career has been legit.
Matt Kemp, he was way too ok with Ryan Braun cheating and still getting the MVP over him last year
Jamie Moyer
First post......yay me, lol.....OK....i would disagree with Bautista, I've seen several analyzations of his swing...he made MAJOR changes to his whole stance, hand postion and length of his swing the year he blew up and had over 50 bombs....kemp i would agree with, b/c of what ark said..way too cool with brauns situation
Wilson Valdez or Babe Janish. I was going to go with Drew Stubbs. But, then, how would we know? He so seldom makes contact with the baseball on any of his swings.
The "luckiest" non-Red. Production = luck for all other MLB teams. Especially during postseason play.
I would say that like every other big-time sport around 70-80% of all players are using something. They are always one step ahead of the tests. All of the drug scandals like the BALCO or Armstong affair have shown that doping is a system wide practice, not the actions of lone renegades acting on their own or in secret. I do think that baseball players are more careful now and the drugs they are using are less powerful than the stuff Bonds, Sosa etc were on. But they are always looking for an advantage.
Matt Cain...for no other reason than he improved so much so fast and he is in San Fran.


text: Sunday, July 21, 2013, 4:30 p.m. – the song "Should I Not Preach Jesus" was playing in my mind. Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Philippians 1 (ESV): http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians%201&version=ESV Partnership in the Gospel Paul, along with Timothy, thanked God for the saints in Jesus Christ at Philippi because of their partnership in the gospel of Jesus Christ. A partner is a cohort and/or a coworker who has joined with others in a united (team) effort (struggle, labor) toward some type of common purpose, goal and/or objective. In this case they were coworkers with Paul and Timothy in all that was a part of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This began at the moment they believed in Jesus Christ as Lord and as Savior of their lives, it appears, and it continued at least through the time of the writing of this letter to the saints. They not only believed in Jesus Christ, and gave their lives to him in surrender to his will for their lives, but they were also committed to the purpose of seeing others come to faith in Jesus Christ. Yet, not only were they partakers with Paul and Timothy in the gospel of Christ with regard to their faith in Jesus Christ, and their commitment to the advancement of the gospel of Jesus Christ, but they were also partakers with Paul in his imprisonment. In other words, they must have prayed for and encouraged him, ministered to his needs, and stood by him and supported him, etc., perhaps even in the face of their own encounters with great opposition, rejection and persecution. That's dedication! And, because of this, Paul was confident of their continued faith, perseverance, commitment and determination in their walks of faith, and in their partnership in the gospel of Jesus Christ, which he knew to be the work of Christ/God within them, and that only Christ Jesus could and would bring it to completion on the day when he returns. And, so he encouraged them in this manner. When we read the word of God, we do not read it merely to gather knowledge or historical facts, or so we can debate theology, or so we can show how much we know about the Bible. That would be futile! No, we read the word of God because it is the living, breathing and life-giving word of God, and because this is where God speaks his heart to us. He encourages, instructs, counsels and directs us in the way we should go through his word. So, what I get from this is not just an understanding of Paul's letter to the saints in Philippi, but what I believe are God's words of encouragement for us, his saints, today. I believe he wants to encourage those of us who have committed our lives to him, and to his gospel, to not get discouraged or disheartened when we face opposition, persecution and/or rejection for the sake of the gospel, or when we don't always see the evidence of the fruit of our partnership in the gospel. He wants us to know that it is Christ who began this work in us, and it is he who will continue it in us until the day he comes back to take us to be with him forever. So, we rest in him. As well, we are encouraged here to persevere in our faith in allowing Christ Jesus to grow us, mature us, and increase his love within us, coupled with much knowledge and discernment (very important), so that, in Christ, we will walk in purity and in the fullness of his righteousness until the day he comes back for us, to God's glory. Advancement through Persecution If we read the beginning of the book of Acts, in particular, we will see how the gospel of Jesus Christ was not hindered, but it actually spread through times when the church suffered great persecution. I think sometimes that the church here in the USA could stand some persecution in order to get the church off their couches of complacency into being compelled of the Spirit of God to get the message of the gospel out to as many as possible before Christ returns. I find great encouragement in Paul's (of the Spirit) words here, especially during times when I suffer rejection, opposition and/or persecution for the sake of being a servant of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I can tell you that I probably would not be doing what I do nearly every day in sharing the word of God on the internet had I not gone through times of great suffering for my testimony for Jesus Christ. The suffering, though at one time in my life I let it defeat me, has actually worked to strengthen my resolve to obey my Lord, to follow him, to do what he has called me to do, and to share his gospel. So, it has served for the advancement of the gospel, and I hope will be for your encouragement, as well. Should I Not Preach Jesus An Original Work / July 4, 2013 Based off 1 Corinthians 9:16-10:13 Woe to me should I not preach Jesus. I'm compelled to preach the full gospel. I make myself a slave to ev'ryone To win their hearts to Christ. All this I do for my Lord Jesus, And for the sake of His Name; Do it for the sake of His gospel, So that I, its blessings gain. Scripture notates the sins of others; Written down for us as examples To keep us from setting our hearts On evil as did those of old. Do not worship other gods of man; Do not give your hearts to them; Not partake in immorality. Do not test your Lord and King. So, be careful if you think you are Standing firm in your faith in Jesus. God has given his word to warn us, So through faith we will not fall. No temptation has o'ertaken you Except what is commonplace. God is faithful to not let you be Tempted past what you can bear. He gives the way of escape. http://originalworks.info/should-i-not-preach-jesus/

The long-term objectives of this application are to understand and reduce the large numbers of pregnancies that are lost because of inappropriate regression of the primate corpus luteum (CL) at the end of the menstrual cycle, and to contribute to better management of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in wromen by determining how reproductive processes influence CVD risk factors. The research plan will address the novel hypothesis that cholesterol uptake and efflux activities, regulated by liver x receptor (LXR) a and/or p,determine luteal steroidogenic lifespan and reduce the risk of developing CVD. To test this hypothesis, the first aim will determine whether LXR signaling mediates prostaglandin F2a (PGF2a)-induced luteolysis in non-primate species. Sheep will receive either placebo or PGF2a during the mid-luteal phase with serial blood samples collected to verify reduced progesterone (P4) levels indicative of luteolysis. Corpora lutea will be collected at 12, 24, or 48 hours after injection and expression of known LXR target genes and lipoprotein receptors will be determined, as well as differences in cholesterol efflux and extracellular lipoprotein uptake in cell cultures derived from freshly isolated tissue. This will test the hypothesis that the LXRs mediate PGF2a-induced luteolysis, and will determine the utility of a PGF2a-induced luteolytic model for future studies on the functional importance of the LXRs in luteal function. The second specific aim will differentiate direct ovarian contributions from systemic estradiol (E2) and P4 effects on circulating lipids during the normal menstrual cycle and hormonal oral contraceptive cycles. Circulating lipid levels will be determined in healthy, premenopausal women during their normal menstrual cycle, after having ovarian activity temporarily stopped to mimic menopause, while receiving E2 and P4 replacement during induced menopause, and during a monophasic combined hormonal oral contraceptive cycle.
This aim will better our understanding of the mechanisms underlying premenopausal protection from heart disease and guide future studies to determine how physiologic conditions (e.g. aging, obesity, diabetes) and pharmacologic interventions (e.g. contraceptives) affect these premenopausal protective factors.
This project has implications for preventing early pregnancy loss and improving the efficiency of assisted reproduction by determining what causes the ovary to stop making progesterone, a hormone required for pregnancy, at the end of the menstrual cycle. This project may also contribute to improved management of coronary heart disease in women by determining the ovarian-derived factors that reduce heart disease risk.

Gandhi returned to Indian politics in 1915. While trying to understand his politics, we should bear in mind that he was forty-six years old and had been an NRI for nearly a quarter of a century. He had served his political apprenticeship in South Africa, not as a nationalist, but as a civil rights activist, fighting for civic and racial equality on behalf of South Africa's Indian community.
When Gandhi arrived, he found a Congress riven by two readings of nationalism. Early Congress nationalism was one particular response to the challenge of organizing politically within the constraints of colonial rule. The strategy the early Congress favoured was pluralism powered by the rhetoric of economic grievance.
This pluralist style had been challenged by an Extremist faction that favoured popular mobilization in the name of a Mother India defined by a Hindu cultural nationalism. The Swadeshi movement was the first fruit of this Extremist style. By 1915, the Moderates were in some disarray, with many of them deserting the Congress to join the Indian Liberal Federation, while the great leader of the Extremists, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, was busy trying to establish a Home Rule League, to press the colonial state to grant Indians self-government.
On the face of it, Tilak should have been Gandhi's mentor and model. They shared a willingness to deploy a 'Hindu' idiom in political discourse; both wanted to invent a politics that transcended the polite, petitioning politics of the early Congress; both men tried to forge instruments for popular mobilization and pan-Indian agitation. Gandhi even used the Home Rule League networks created by Tilak to give structure to the Non-Cooperation movement. And yet Gandhi steadfastly maintained that his mentor in matters political was not Tilak but his great Moderate contemporary, Gopal Krishna Gokhale.
The fundamental difference between Tilak and Gandhi is this. Tilak wanted to confront the raj on behalf of a nation imagined in a broadly Hindu style. To this end, he was willing to use Shivaji and Ganesh symbolically to raise nationalist consciousness. Gandhi's political ideas and anti-colonial strategies were designed to extend Congress pluralism to the new epoch of mass politics. Mass politics to Gandhi meant adapting the style of civil disobedience he had learned in South Africa to the vastness of India. This posed two challenges: one, creating a politics that overcame the urban alienation of Congress politics from the rural Indian hinterland. And two, consolidating the representative claims of Congress pluralism by drawing into its politics a substantial Muslim presence.
Gandhi's homespun make-over, his populist folk-religious idiom, his assertion that he was a sanatani Hindu, obscures an essential difference between him and someone like Tilak. Unlike the Extremists, Gandhi, with one fatal exception, never mobilized around religious symbols or issues. His great mobilizations were centred on issues that were secular in an almost doctrinaire way: the suspension of civil liberties in the case of the Rowlatt satyagraha, the right to make untaxed salt later and a strictly civic micro-politics based on constructive work, sanitation and spinning. Gandhi, in his dhoti-wearing, ashram-centred avatar had learnt more from Tolstoy's romantic identification with Russian peasant life and its traditions and Henry Thoreau's Walden than he had from any specifically 'Hindu' tradition.
Looking back, Gandhi's South African apprenticeship seems a controlled experiment where he implemented and refined ideas of civil disobedience and passive resistance derived from his reading of Henry Thoreau's essay, 'Resistance to Civil Government', written in 1849 and posthumously published in 1866 as 'Civil Disobedience'. Similarly, after his arrival in India, Gandhi's leadership initiatives in Champaran, Ahmedabad and Khera can be seen as five-fingers exercises, undertaken in preparation for the anti-colonial struggle ahead. The agitation he launches against the Rowlatt Bill, the first all-India satyagraha, seems, in retrospect, a dress rehearsal for the premiere of Gandhi's first truly pan-Indian movement, the Khilafat-Non-Cooperation struggle.
The Khilafat-Non-Cooperation is generally regarded as the Part I of a trilogy, the Civil Disobedience movement and the Quit India movement being Parts II and III. What's more, it has a special place in the history of Indian nationalism as the high-water mark of Hindu-Muslim cooperation in the course of the anti-colonial struggle. Parts II and III, as Gyanendra Pandey pointed out in a clever book, were notable for the relative meagreness of Muslim participation.
The problem with this perspective and this seductive sequence of roughly decennial agitations, is that the Khilafat-Non-Cooperation movement is a massive aberration in Gandhi's political career, different from any movement he participated in, before or afterwards. The Khilafat-Non-Cooperation movement is singular because it is the only movement led by Gandhi that was centred on a religious issue: the preservation of the Sultan of Turkey as the Caliph of all Muslims.
We can see its aberrant nature in the uneasy hyphenation of its name: Khilafat-Non-Cooperation. As a schoolboy, I used to think that the Khilafat part had to do with Muslims and the Non-Cooperation part with the Congress, till Francis Robinson, in his fine book, Separatism Amongst Indian Muslims, set us right. Both the agitation to save the Turkish Sultan on account of his claim to be the Muslim world's Khalifah and the scheme of Non-Cooperation were initiatives of the Khilafat leadership, not Gandhi or the Congress. Gandhi made these two issues his own by presiding over the All India Khilafat Conference in Delhi in November 1919, well before the Congress had anything to do with the Khilafat issue. By September 1920, Gandhi in an extraordinary political coup, had gotten himself elected president of the All-India Home Rule League and steered a resolution in favour of Non-Cooperation to preserve the Khilafat and wrest swaraj in the Congress session in Calcutta.
Gandhi's decision to choose the Khilafat movement as the occasion for his all-India debut, seems even odder given the Khilafat leadership. Maulana Abdul Bari was a conservative Barelvi alim. The Ali Brothers, Mohammad and Shaukat, were Young Turks from Aligarh, impatient with the loyalism of Sir Syed's politics and openly admiring of the intransigence of Extremist politics during the Swadeshi movement. In fact the leaders of the Khilafat movement are best understood as the Extremist tendency in Muslim politics. Gandhi, Gokhale's disciple, had chosen as his allies a pair of populist demagogues: the Lal-Bal-Pal of Muslim politics. The irony of this is sharpened by the fact that the greatest critic of the Khilafat movement and the Congress's part in it was Jinnah, once Dadabhai Naoroji's private secretary, and, at the time, the outstanding representative of the Moderate tendency in Muslim politics.
Why did Gandhi do it' For two reasons. One, he saw it as a quick, cheap way of getting the Muslims on board. What Gandhi was doing here was trying to repopulate the Muslim enclosure in the nationalist zoo by manipulating a Muslim version of Tilakite populism. When Gandhi described the Khilafat cause as the 'Muslim cow', that is, a sacred, sentimental cause, his analogy was off the mark. The Turkish Sultan was for the Ali Brothers what Shivaji was for Tilak: a lonely symbol of defiance in the face of a hostile empire. The Khilafat stirred them in the same way as the idea of Hindu Padpadshahi stirred the Extremist imagination.
Gandhi's second reason for espousing this curious cause was that it allowed him to take over the Congress. By promising to deliver the Congress, he secured the support of the Khilafatists, and by promising to deliver the Muslims, he effectively took over the Congress without being a member or ever standing for election. In the short term, he succeeded brilliantly. In the long term, this adventurist coup did the anti-colonial movement incalculable damage.
The reason Gandhi's alliance with the Khilafatists was a form of adventurism was not because he was trying to do a deal with a Muslim party. The Congress had always approached Muslims at one remove, as the Congress-League pact of 1916 so clearly demonstrated. No, the reason the Khilafat movement was aberrant was because the earlier deals had been based on rational political bargaining, whereas agitating for the Sultan was inflammatory posturing in a hopeless cause. That Gandhi acted in patronizing bad faith, is clear from the abruptness with which he called off the movement after the Chauri Chaura violence without even consulting his Muslim allies. If he had ever believed that Khilafat was the Muslim cow, he cut its throat pretty casually.
The passions he had helped rouse, which were now turned against him and the Congress, meant that the Congress haemorrhaged Muslims ever afterwards. Gandhi returned to the secular straight-and-narrow with the salt satyagraha ten years later and strove manfully to secure the Moderate aim of a pluralist nationalism in the age of mass politics, but opportunism of the Khilafat movement haunted the Congress and helped alienate the one constituency it prized above all others: India's Muslims. In this season of Jinnah, no sensible account of the Khilafat movement can be written without acknowledging that on this issue at least, Jinnah was right and Gandhi, without question, was wrong.

The curtain will come down on the cricket bonanza this evening. There will be celebrations somewhere and heartbreaks somewhere else. In India, enthusiasm for the match is obviously unbounded, especially as the national team, written off as a non-starter in the beginning of the tournament, has emerged as a formidable challenger to the Aussie cricket machine. Bombs over Baghdad have done nothing to dilute this enthusiasm. Indeed, George Orwells famous jibe about sports being war minus the shooting has come to acquire something of an ominous ring in the present context.
In both India and Pakistan, cricket, however much this might depress the genuine cricket lover, has come to be imbricated with politics and nationalist passions. This is perhaps more true for India than for Pakistan. This Indian team for the World Cup has the unique distinction of being mentioned by the president in his speech to both houses of Parliament; of receiving good wishes from the prime minister and the deputy prime minister; and, if reports are to be believed, the chief minister of West Bengal has been speaking to the captain of the team over the telephone not infrequently. In fact, if the Iraq war had not intervened, Atal Bihari Vajpayee would have travelled to South Africa to watch the finals. Now, alas, he can only pray for the Indian team and for George W. Bush. This involvement of politicians is a new feature even in a country where, thanks to history, cricket and politics have never really been as separate as they should perhaps have been.
It will not be unfair to ascribe this interest of leading politicians in cricket to something more than their personal fondness for the game. Cricket commands popular enthusiasm, it determines popular sentiments and passions. It has come to acquire features of mass hysteria. Politicians, like the media, can ignore this only at their own peril. It is difficult to pinpoint what has endowed to cricket in India this mass dimension. One factor must be the fact that cricket is the only game in which India is half way good. The other must be rising expectations: after 1983, fans expect India to win. But a more important point to remember here is the nature of response to the one-day game. Test cricket does not evoke the same kind of response among the people and the politicians.
One-day cricket is instant and packaged excitement and entertainment. There is always a decision. To enjoy this, there is no demand to understand the finer points of the game. It thus sells itself easily to viewers and thus to sponsors, advertisers and television channels. Popularity creates the hype, and the hype feeds the popularity. It is a vicious or a virtuous cycle depending how you want your cricket played and appreciated. Technology has, of course, a part to play in the hype and popularity since it has enabled the game to enter the sitting rooms of people. For the discerning viewer, it has made visible aspects of the game which were invisible from the stands. The downside of this is, of course, the bizarre situation in which everyone fancies himself to be an expert on cricket. But when former cricketers and self-styled experts utter banalities and arrant nonsense on television, one cannot complain too much about homespun experts. This has to be accepted as the price of popularity. Quantity does change quality and adversely most of the time.
Cricket has been dumbed down and lumpenized. The former is evident from the comments of so-called experts (one of whom spouted the piece of wisdom that there is nothing in the laws of cricket which says that benefit should go to the batsman) and in the presence of a pretty face in the experts team. The phenomenon of lumpenization revealed itself when India won the match against Pakistan in the qualifying round. Horrible anti-Pakistan sentiments were voiced by otherwise sensible people; similar SMS messages circulated. But worse still was the kind of revelry that was seen on the streets. The jubilation was totally out of proportion to the significance of the victory and had an odd undertow of aggression, if not of violence. The recurring image of screaming young men on motorbikes had an eerie similarity with certain events in Gujarat. A game of cricket had suddenly been transformed into a battle against Pakistan. A phoney war that had nothing to with cricket. It was jingoism and even a kind of communal frenzy that had intruded into the playing arena. All this was not entirely new, but this time round there was something ominous about it. Gujarat has added a new dimension to middle class revelry.
Cricket, especially one-day cricket, carries so many different kinds of loads that it has become impossible for players and spectators to think of the game in isolation. Players have to think of contracts and endorsements, over and above their fitness and performance. On the field, they have to put on the mask of aggression since one cannot survive on the modern sporting arena without an overdose of machoism. Spectators too are conscious of these things as well as of their heightened expectations from the national side. All these bring to the cricket field a charged ambience that bears a resemblance to the arena for gladiatorial combat. Cricketers are icons and an immediate fall from status follows failure. Deification resides close to abuse.
The old fashioned cricket lover, nostalgic of the days when cricket was a more gracious game without a hint of raucousness, still clings to his old love. He consoles himself that cricket, no matter how much it has changed, no matter how much its audience and its appreciation have changed, still remains cricket. Brian Lara still walks when he knows he is out
a rare gesture that compensates for much that is not quite cricket in the old sense of the term. All this is admittedly romantic but it is difficult to divorce cricket completely from some residual notion of romanticism. The sheer aesthetics of the game even when played in coloured clothes and under lights evokes the romanticism. There is, after all something majestic about a Sachin Tendulkar straight drive and something quite magical about the way Glenn McGrath, over after over, maintains, bowling from close to the stumps, an immaculate line on or just outside the off stump.
Cricket has changed and has changed to survive. But the sound of the ball on the willow, the image of run-stealers flickering to and fro in the mellow sunshine (rather than glaring lights) carry with them the everlasting fragrance of vanished times when the clock always showed a quarter past three and there was honey still for tea.

Modern Epicureanism:what might the Garden have to offer the 21st Century?
The Epicurean tradition is one that has been misunderstood since its outset. Between being condemned by the Christian church, and equivocated with hedonism in contemporary culture, Epicureanism hasn't been able to catch a break since 300 BC. But the importance Epicurus placed on face-to-face interaction with friends, the moderation of pleasure, and living unknown are surely applicable to our current age of technology, gluttony, and celebrity. Could a closer look at doctrines studied in the Garden offer us some insight when it comes to navigating modern life?
To prepare for the discussion, we recommend reading a short article, "Why Epicurus Matters Today" which can be found at: http://www.mantlethought.org/philosophy/why-epicurus-matters-today

Going Going GONE?
Augusto Pinochet , former dictator of Chile died last week and we have been treated to considerable vilification of him in the so called mainstream media .
It seems that about three thousand individuals lost their lives or simply disappeared during and immediately following the Chilean Revolution of Sept 11, 1973. This includes the President, Salvador Allende who was most likely shot by his Cuban bodyguard when he decided to surrender during the attack on his palace on that date What is invariably omitted in the recent data is the fact that due to the actions of Allende in violating the Chilean Constitution and laws while attempting to establish a communist dictatorship in Chile the Chamber of Deputies ordered the Chilean military to remove Allende from office. Pinochet, who happened to be the commander of the armed forces was the one who carried out the order.
After some years as dictator and rescuing Chile's society and economy from socialism by among other things privatizing the government retirement system, he peacefully relinquished power. When Pinochet left office, Chile had the strongest economy in Latin America.
Contrast the above scenario with the history of the Cuban Revolution and Fidel Castro the Communist dictator for the past 47 years: "Within three months of his entry into Havana, Castro's firing squads had murdered an estimated 600-1,100 men and boys, and Cuba's jails held ten times the number of political prisoners as under Fulgencio Batista, who Castro overthrew with claims to "liberating" Cuba". Cuban citizens to this day require ration books to purchase scarce food while Cuba enjoys the most fertile soil on the planet.
Castro is expected to be joining the ranks of the departed in the not too distant future. It will be interesting to compare the media fawning accolades for this butcher to the treatment they have given to Pinochet.
