"Three Quick And Easy To Make Budget Meals"
I actually enjoy cooking. I find it relaxing and de-stressing after a hard day at work and I enjoy adapting recipes to my own tastes. I like nothing better than to open a bottle of wine and sip it as I create.In the past I have led a strange eating lifestyle. I decided to turn vegetarian in my teenage years (whilst travelling with rock bands…you wouldn't believe the stick I got!) then turned back to gradually introducing meat into my diet. After travelling to various countries and sampling as many foods as possible I decided to try to adopt a healthier lifestyle but tried to keep the enjoyment of food alive.
These are a few meals that I occasionally cook for friends who drop by unexpectedly and expect to be fed fairly quickly. I find them easy to make as I usually have all the ingredients in the store cupboard, fridge and freezer. I tend to buy pots of fresh basil, coriander and other herbs from the supermarket when they are reduced and you can find these in the fruit and vegetable section. I keep them on the kitchen windowsill where they seem to flourish and this year I intend to try to grow them from seed.Be careful when buying reduced packets of green leaf salads and mixed salad leaves, as there can be some discoloration on the edges. I find that buying fresh whole lettuces is more economical and these can be kept in the drawer in the bottom of the fridge and used as required.
The quantities and ingredients in the following recipes aren't written in stone. I find it far more satisfying to mix and match and experiment and hope that you do too. I haven't given any calorific values, as I would imagine that anyone concerned about these would be able to work them out instantly. Nor have I estimated the cost per dish as I have tried to create these dishes from items I already have in storage. As far as I'm concerned they cost nothing except time and love.Obviously, if you don't like certain items, or are allergic to them, replace them with something that you like, or just omit them … as long as you don't end up with a bowl of 'paprika flavoured peas' for this first recipe! Enjoy!
Pasta with a Quick Salmon Sauce
2 Very Large Saucepans
A Tin Opener
A Spatula
A Grater
1 14oz/400gms tin of Salmon
1 pint/½ litre of cream or 2 pots of Elmlea
1 or 2 glasses of White Wine
Tabasco Sauce
10ozs/284gms Frozen Peas
3ozs/85gms Fresh Parmesan or Mature Cheddar Cheese
Pasta (enough for up to 6 people)
Fresh Basil Leaves
Fresh Mixed Salad Leaves
Method:Place a large quantity of water into a large saucepan. Add a little salt and bring to the boil.
I usually put some rolls in the oven on a low temperature at this stage so that they warm through and are crisp on the outside.Open a tin of salmon and drain the juices into another large saucepan. De-bone and de-skin the salmon.
Slosh a glass or two of white wine, a pint of cream (or Elmlea if you're cutting the fat) a pinch of salt, pepper and a little grated nutmeg into the juices in the pan. Bring to the boil, stirring occasionally and allow it to reduce to a decent thickness.By this time the water in the other saucepan should have reached a rolling boil. Put in some pasta…any pasta…I like freshly made Tagliatelli with this dish but it's your choice …Penne, Fettuccine, Fusilli are all good choices.
In fact, when I've run out of pasta and didn't fancy making any, as it does tend defeat the object of a quick meal, I've even used Chinese noodles. However, if you use these, make sure that you follow the instructions on the packet and rinse them really, really well.
Add some Tabasco sauce to the sauce in the other pan (not too much, just two or three splashes, unless you like it really hot!) and then stir in the frozen peas.At this point I usually make a fresh green salad.
Cook the sauce for a further 3 minutes, or until the peas are heated through, then stir in the freshly grated (not dried, it stinks, tastes like grated sweaty socks, and should be banned in my humble opinion) Parmesan or a good strong cheese like mature Cheddar.Drain the pasta. Toss it into the sauce, taste and season as necessary.
Fold the salmon in, after flaking it and serve in dishes or on large plates.Garnish each serving with paprika and fresh basil leaves.
Serve it with some warm crusty bread, a fresh mixed salad and a glass of Orvieto Classico or a crisp, fresh wine of your own choosing.It serves up to 6 people depending on the size of the portions and their appetite!
I've also made this with Tuna but I go easy on the added salt if it is stored in brine.Any leftovers can be placed in a sealed container in the refrigerator. This can then be re-heated next day and served with a baked potato or toast for a light lunch.
Enjoy…Buon Appetito!© John Groom 2006
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++A Vegetarian Dish for those with Dairy Intolerances:
Apparently, Bulgur Wheat is a good source of iron, phosphorus and B vitamins. It is very nutty but doesn't have much flavour on its own.If I don't have any fresh vegetables available then I usually resort to the freezer. I always buy bags of various types of vegetables from the freezer section in the supermarket when they are on offer as they, usually, taste just as good as fresh, though not as good as home-grown ones. These bags of mixed vegetables are especially ideal for soups, stews and generally filling a meal out in a healthy way instead of resorting to bread to fill up on. Just lately I have discovered really tasty ones in the supermarket that contain eight portion-sized bags that are steamed in the freezer.
I buy the cheapest tins of vegetables in bulk, especially tinned tomatoes, as they are a great addition to any soup, stew or main course and can be left whole or roughly chopped with a knife in the tin. When tinned tomatoes are liquidised or 'blitzed' in the food processor and run through a sieve they make a brilliant homemade English-style Passatta. This is basically pulped and sieved tomatoes, but, with a few additions like a splash of balsamic vinegar, some chopped garlic and fresh basil or oregano, it can be rendered down slightly and made into a more authentic Italian-style Passatta, which is thicker and has a more intense flavour. It is an ideal, simple, yet tasty, sauce for various pastas and can even be added to a Chinese stir-fry with other ingredients to make a passable Sweet and Sour Sauce or Kung-Po Sauce with the addition of a few chopped chillies or chilli sauce.Bulgur Wheat with Mixed Vegetables
A Knife
2 Medium Saucepans
A Spatula
1 medium Onion (chopped)
Oil for frying
1 Can of Tomatoes (whole or roughly chopped)
Tomato Puree
Lemon Juice
Cayenne Pepper
4 ozs/113gms Bulgur Wheat
4 fl.ozs/113mls Boiling Water
Freshly Chopped Vegetables
Freshly Chopped Herbs
Fresh Mixed Salad Leaves
Method:In a medium saucepan sauté a medium chopped onion in a splodge of oil for about 6 minutes or so until lightly browned.
Stir in a can of tomatoes, a squeeze of tomato puree, a dash of lemon juice, a pinch of salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper.Add 4 ozs of Bulgur Wheat and about 4 fl.ozs of boiling water. Stir and cover. Turn off the heat and leave until all the liquid has been absorbed.
In another saucepan place loads of freshly chopped vegetables of your choice into boiling water, add a touch of salt, bring back to the boil and simmer.At this point I usually make a fresh green salad.
Put the bulgur wheat mixture into a serving dish and place the freshly chopped vegetables on top. Sprinkle with a mixture of freshly chopped herbs and serve.Serve with a fresh, green salad and a bottle of plonk!
Enjoy…Cheers!© John Groom 2006
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++A Vegetarian Dish for those with Wheat Intolerances:
Potatoes are a great staple, comfort, 'fill you up quick' food and I'm always on the lookout for new varieties to try. For this dish, however, I find the cheapest oldest potatoes to be ideal, the ones that you'd use for mashed potatoes, as they seem somehow creamier and fluffier. Apparently, Nutmeg is known to have a hallucinary effect in large quantities but in small quantities gives a sense of well-being. I look out for 'different' cheeses in the reduced section of the chiller cabinet in supermarkets, as they usually have oddments of slow selling cheeses cut into convenient pieces, as well as buying the staple mature Cheddar that is always a good standby. The following dish is quite filling by itself as a main course but can also be used, in smaller portions, as an accompaniment to other foods on the same plate.Cheese and Tomato Topped Dauphinoise(ish) Potatoes
Utensils:A Knife or A Mandolin or A Food Processor that can slice Potatoes
1 Medium Saucepan
A Shallow Baking Dish
A Grater
A Spatula
Ingredients:2 lbs/907gms Potatoes
¾ pint/450 mls of milk
2 ozs/57gms Butter
4 ozs/113gms of Cheddar or Emmanthal Cheese
Tomato and fresh herbs for decoration and extra taste (optional)
Fresh Mixed Salad Leaves
Method:Turn the oven on and set at Gas Mark 7 /220°C/425°F to heat up.
Thinly slice the potatoes. A mandolin (watch your fingers!) or a food processor makes life easier but I actually prefer to slice them all up on a board, after peeling, washing and drying them, then I celebrate my patience with a large sip of wine.Place the milk in the saucepan and add the thinly sliced potatoes. Season with salt & pepper and grate in as much nutmeg as you wish.
Bring to the boil and simmer for about 12 minutes until tender.Lightly grease a shallow baking dish with a knob of butter. Rub a freshly cut garlic clove around the sides then transfer the potatoes to the dish and add more milk if it seems too dry.
Grate the Cheddar or Emmanthal Cheese over the top and dot the surface with butter.Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
At this point I usually make a fresh green salad.I also place slices of tomato on top and sprinkle with fresh herbs to give the dish a decorative 'main course' effect.
This dish, with a fresh green salad and a bottle of chilled crisp, fruity, white wine like a Sauvignon Blanc is my ideal comfort food.
Enjoy…Bon Appetit!
© John Groom 2006+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Not bad considering my favourite meal used to be Lancashire Hotpot with four slices of Warburton's Thick White Bread covered in butter…or even a Full English Breakfast with two eggs and extra toast! Ten pints of lager a night was easily drunk yet now I get by with the odd glass of wine (occasionally). I hope the above recipes help you and your diet, whatever it may be and don't forget.... A little bit of what you fancy does you good…Rock on!Cheers, John

I am in the Microsoft empire but claim neutrality, but apparently Microsoft signed a treaty with the Nintendo Faction and have recently called a truce with the Sony Legion, it's still unclear if this tenuous peace will last, but what I do know is that all three systems rock, and If it comes down to it I'll become a mercenary employed by all three, not hating any as long as I get PAID.

SonY warrior but Neutral against Nintendo...becus my first games systems were the gameboy color and NES. But then We upgraded to a Playstation and N64..then sold our N64 and got a PS2 for christmas...(I missed bomberman 64 like crazy)..then we got a gamecube...played gamecube and Playstation2..I still believ GMcube is Nintendos 2nd strongest console and is VERRY close behind the Wii for a second just because of the games,graphics,controllers and its compatibility for multiplayer play...Now we have a WII and a PS3..I play the PS3 MUCH more often because of graphics and games but I like the Wii for parties and such because I can pull out DJ hero and Games like Warioware Wii Play,sports, and resort and some other shooters I have for it...So there is my reasoning...Ehh....Xbox is cool(I love Halo3 and L4D one and two) but..it can be very faulty...whens the last time you heard about a PS3 getting a Red ring or malfunctioning half as much as the 360?

Ahh, the good old console wars. Never really fought in them, but my opinions are thus:
The PS3 is by far the better piece of hardware, (I've had to have my XboX repaired no less that five times so far) but until recently, it was horribly overpriced, considering the majority of the good games were on the Xbox anyway. In recent times, things have shifted back into Sony's favor though, however I still prefer Xbox Live, what with all the fantastic arcade games and such you can get there.
While I love my Nintendo, I still haven't gotten a Wii yet, mostly because so few of the games for it appeal to me. Maybe I'm just stuck in the past?
So yeah, neutral, I guess.

I would have said Sony all the way; but, in light of what they've done with people that use the OtherOS function on the older systems, I'm not exactly happy with what they've been doing behind the scenes.

Last generation PS2 would have seen me squarely in the Sony camp since there were so many brilliant games for that machine. Still, it seems the PS3 is too expensive, bulky, and lacking games for it's good. The higher resolution also means more of the games try to be all glossy and glitsy which is dull for me. I totally prefer when games put more into making their games fun rather than making them "sparkle".
I suppose I'm in the Nintendo camp now then. Here in Japan the DS has been pretty much the only system that I play games on and I'm quite fond of it even though it's a lower-resolution hand held. Back in the US I played a considerable amount of Wii games (even though I don't own a Wii). There seems to be a lot of fun games for it, although that stupid controller gets tiresome. If the Wii wasn't trying to be Mr. Innovative McDouchypants and stick to a regular gamepad control scheme then I'd totally throw my support behind the machine %100!
Side note, the stylus for the DS can be good in certain game contexts. I think it's obnoxious when the games try to force you to use it for things that would be better handled with simple pad controls (like Zelda Phantom Hourglass). I'm happy that some games (like Dragon Quest IX) let you ignore the stylus for the most part (leaving it as something you can use optionally).

Weekly Highlights ~ m4w2y17
I have been posting these weekly highlights for several years now but I've always just made a list. This week I wanted to expand on each thing and I'm glad I did! I hope to do this more often, it sure makes it easier to remember what was really going on in my life when I look back at these posts some day!
Highlights from the week of April 7-April 13, 2017:
- Scenic drive around Lake Pepin- I didn't take many photos of our drive because it was cloudy and kinda yucky out. We did drive up the rustic mountain road in Maiden Rock, WI and stopped to pick a few mushrooms. I looked through one of our new mushroom books and couldn't seem to figure out wht they were. I still have so much to learn!! Or maybe I discovered a new species. Hahaha
- Dinner at Smokin Oak in Red Wing- It is our tradition to stop and have dinner here when visiting Red Wing or after driving all the way around Pepin. The first time we ever stopped here as a family (and got take-out) was when Bretton was just five days old. I kid you not!!!
- Eating burgers outside at Wagner's Drive-In. We just love this old-school drive-in.
- Amazing budget news @ work- no cuts next year!!!!!! Ya know, for whatever reason I wasn't that worried about this. I just had a feeling it was going to work out despite the fact that our district is cutting 15 million. Praise the Lord.
- Getting to know the bloggers of The Peaceful Posse better. Thank you to those who link your blogs on the daily threads, it has been the easiest way for me to read your posts.
- Big Little Lies ( I watch the entire first season in a week)- Did you read my post about it?
- Finding the Rory Gilmore Reading List. You probably saw my blog post about it, I've read 59/339 Rory's books
- A very generous and unexpected token from a dear friend at work when it was desperately needed
- Chatting with my teammates– My best friend Bradie and I are power partners in the Plexus business. We video chat a few times a week but have our teammates join us on Tuesdays as well. Such an amazing group of women!
- Snuggles with my boys. They both give the sweetest kisses and hugs. I can still hold Bashy while sitting and rock him. He's 2 1/2 now and definitely not a baby anymore. Makes me sad, I miss my baby. lol
- Catching up with my bestie Mary– We only connect via phone once or twice a month so when we do, we have a lot to catch up on
- Plexus Payday!– This extra income has been an absolute godsend. We are always paid electronically by the 15th of the month. This check came on the 12th. Woot!
- G/T cohort training with Dr Karen Westberg– My school district has hired her to offer PD to our small group of Gifted & Talented teachers and program cooridnators. Dr Westberg was one of my professors that I got to know very well while completing grad school back in 2000-02. I helped her compile research for a study once upon a time.
- Finding my old Twice Exceptional program proposal I wrote for my MA 16 yrs ago!! and re- sharing it with Dr Westberg! Early in my teaching career, I had expertise in kids who had both learning disabilities or ASD but were also gifted. There are very few teachers who specialize in both ends of the spectrum, I am one fo them 😉
- Zoom video team training with Jaclyn Stanley– Jaclyn is a Diamond Ambassador with Plexus and did so in under two years. That's incredible!! She is a sideline and good friend of my sponsor's sponsor and jumped on our weekly meeting with us to answer our questions. I am also going to be a Diamond in a few years, making more money than I can dream of. Such an amazing company and amazing products.

Developing, managing, and sharing knowledge on natural resources, conflict, and peacebuilding
Library / Evaluation of UNDP Support to Conflict-Affected Co...
Source: United Nations Development Programme, 2006
Author(s): Mary Kaldor
Countries: Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guatemala, Haiti, Sierra Leone, Tajikistan
Topics: Programming
Added: 11/05/2015
Nearly 33 million people around the world were rendered homeless last year due to violent conflicts. The many agencies of the UN system are actively engaged in supporting these communities to reclaim the right to live with dignity and security. Crisis prevention and recovery is a core practice area for UNDP, with activities in conflict-affected countries constituting nearly 40 percent of global expenditure in 2005. Given the significance of this work, the UNDP Executive Board requested the Evaluation Office to conduct an independent evaluation of UNDP assistance to conflict affected countries.
This evaluation documents the changing character of conflict in the past few decades, underlining that violations of human rights and human security are not a side effect but a central methodology of current violent conflicts. The report concludes that while the international community has succeeded in stabilizing conflicts, it has not adequately addressed the structural conditions conducive to conflict. The response needs to be more coherent, integrating humanitarian and development concerns into peacebuilding efforts. A strategy to prevent conflict must address the conditions that are conducive to violent conflict and be bound up integrally with improving human security. For this reason, the report uses the analytical framework of human security to capture the sustainability and effectiveness of UNDP assistance to prevent conflict and build peace.

Have you tried just unplugging the new drive and putting everything back to see if that still works? You might and I might have missed it somewhere in one of your responses.

hello FliGi7 !
yes that was the first few things i did to avoid messing up what it contains: his one and only backup. It's very sensitive data and he would likely be locked up if anyone got their hands on it I lock up the whole computer in a secured fireproof safe to be honest when I'm not actively working on it as I have no intentions on ruining a good 75 year old's man who fought for our country and practices law today! I have his entire client logs so he is shut down utill I fix, so you can see why I'm freaked out to do anything I'd normally try!
but now I am afraid plugging it back in could mess up any progress I have made.
I have reached the point where its saying ci.dll is corrupt, and after several tests I conclude it is not, and any windows boot including safe modes all end with the fivth driver CLFS.sys which takes me back to startup repair.
I appreciate the responces that help me look outside of any box I might be in as your idea...any others?
oh, and I believe the root cause is the location of the boot partition files. currently they are in my main C:/ dir with all other windows files as well as a D:/ partition I did not make, but holds all of the seemingly identical boot files, I'm guessing one points to the wrong files and is loading first. Hard to explain without telling you the history of what I have tried.
|My System Specs
|07 Oct 2011
So when you just have the original drive plugged in and try to boot it up, you are getting errors? And you have tried using the System disc to do a repair install?
|My System Specs
|07 Oct 2011
Windows 7 Professional SP1 32-bit
Could you maybe do the following...boot from your Windows 7 setup DVD to the command prompt and type bcdedit which should give you a complete listing of all the boot manager entries and how they're configured. If you can somehow cut and paste or screenshot that here, we could try to help further.
|My System Specs
|07 Oct 2011
yes that is how it is now
and still loops endlessly trough startup repar console
and the dvd was removed and to be replaced with a pata similar model since it was sata as well as the main HDD and the one I introduced! I also think unplugging the dvd and replacing it with the new hdd may have started the demize of the whole thing since the dvd was probibly first in the boot order, and before it detected a new hdd, it tryed to open the dvd in a cdfs type format and subsequently switched the drive letter C: with D: and the New blank drive became C:

After a nearly one-hour delay because of a rainstorm, Felix easily outsprinted Campbell-Brown to the line, crossing in 22.02 seconds, a time that was certainly affected by the wait and the weather conditions. Campbell-Brown crossed in 22.35 followed by
Though Felix had run less frequently this season, she still entered the race with the fastest time in the world this year -- 21.88 in Stockholm on July 31. Ferguson-McKenzie and Campbell-Brown had each been putting up swift times all season. Before the race, a graphic on the stadium jumbotron showed a tale of the tape between Campbell-Brown and Ferguson. Felix pumped her fist after she crossed the line in an unusual show of emotion. This is, after all, a preacher's daughter who teaches Sunday school during the winter, is not the type to flaunt her accomplishments. The preacher was in the stands, too.
In fact, he said, his daughter's decision to plan a more moderate race schedule helped prepare her better for Berlin. "She did a few too many things before the Olympics," Mr. Felix said. "She had media opportunities, she was in a wedding and she flew back and forth to Europe a couple of times. She had a couple of bad races before Beijing. She learned from last year that you can't do everything."
For Merritt, the race validated his Olympic triumph last summer against Wariner. Though Wariner holds a 3-2 edge in major titles, Merritt has won the last two and clearly looked like the better runner on Friday. The pair came off the last turn almost even, but Merritt simply pulled away over the final 100 meters, besting Wariner by several steps and finishing in 44.06 seconds. Even with the gap to Merritt, Wariner was comfortably in second in 44.60 followed by
After the race, Wariner showed his disappointment by walking past officials who motioned for him not to go past the finish line in the opposite direction. He eventually made his way over to Merritt to congratulate him and briefly ran part of a victory lap with his teammate as both man wrapped themselves in U.S. flags. As the defending world champ, Wariner was guaranteed a berth in the race at the worlds in addition to the three runners who qualified at the U.S. Nationals in Eugene in June. Because of that, he experimented more with 200-meter races during the season and looked like a man who was overtaxed in the final hundred. "I didn't have as much left as I'm used to," said Wariner, who ran 43.45 in winning gold two years ago at the world championships in Osaka. "It's not like it was when I could run 43s all the time. I have to get myself back to that."
The pair must now go from being rivals to being teammates, as the U.S. men try to get the baton around for the 4x400-meter relays over the weekend. That is often a dicey proposition, since death and taxes seem no more certain than at least one foul-up with a U.S. relay team at a world championship or Olympics. On Friday, the men's 4x100 relay squad was disqualified when Shawn Crawford and anchorman Darvis Patton couldn't make an exchange within the legal passing zone. Ironically, Crawford had trouble taking the baton moments earlier from Mike Rodgers and barely righted himself, saving an illegal pass. The U.S. team protested the decision, but had its protest rejected, denying fans one more chance to see

In the book, Toaff alleges that a ritual killing was carried out by members of a fundamentalist group in reaction to the persecution of Jews. He based his book on confessions he says came from Jews captured and tried for the practice. Toaff said several were executed after confessing to the crucifixion of Christian children.
The claims were denied by leading Jewish figures, including Toaff's father Elio, the former Chief Rabbi of Rome. Rabbi Toaff welcomed Pope John Paul II to Rome's synagogue two decades ago in a historic visit that helped ease Catholic-Jewish relations after centuries of tensions.
Rabbi Toaff and Italy's other senior rabbis issued a joint statement condemning the book. "There has never existed in Jewish tradition any permission or custom for using human blood for ritual purposes," they said. "Such a practice is considered with horror. It is absolutely improper to use centuries old statements, extracted under torture, to formulate singular and aberrant historical theses. The only blood shed in these stories is that of many innocent Jews."
Bar-Ilan University expresses its strongest reservations over the media reports of Prof Toaff's research. In a statement released Sunday, Bar-Ilan University management said it would be proper to wait for explanations from Prof. Toaff, who is traveling abroad. The statement said, "Immediately upon his return to the country in the coming days, Bar-Ilan University President Prof. Moshe Kaveh will summon Prof. Toaff and ask from him explanations regarding his research. Until then, we believe that we should refrain from relying on baseless reports that have been denied by Prof. Toaff himself and which, apparently, lack any connection to the research itself."
Jewish and Catholic scholars have denounced Toaff's work, saying he has not presented any new documents and that he gave credence to confessions extracted under torture.
Toaff's 91-year-old father said he was looking forward to reading his son's book and examining the documents, but stressed that according to the Torah and tradition, the consumption of animal blood, not to mention that of humans, was strictly prohibited.
Monsignor Iginio Rogger, a church historian who led an investigation in the 1960s into the 15th-century murder of 2-year-old Simon of Trento, for which 16 Jews were hanged, said many scholars have concurred that the confessions were completely unreliable.
Hebrew University historian Professor Israel J. Yuval, a blood-libel expert, said that from the information he had received, Professor Toaff's interpretation sounded "trumped-up."
Abe Foxman, chairman of the Anti-Defamation League, said, "It's hard for me to believe that someone, especially an Israeli historian, would legitimize the baseless claims of the blood libels."


text: Monday, June 10, 2013, 8:26 a.m. – the Lord Jesus woke me this morning with the song "Come and See" playing in my mind. Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Acts 4:1-31 (NIV): http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%204&version=NIV No Other Name Amen! Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through him (Jn. 14:6). He is our keystone! In other words, he is "the wedge-shaped stone at the highest point of an arch" (the church) "that locks the others" (us) "in place;" "on which other interrelated things" (we) "depend" (Encarta Dictionary). Without him and his blood sacrifice for our sins we would not have salvation and eternal life with God. Without him there would be no church. And, the church, without him as her central and most important basis, grounding, source, principle, support and foundation, will come crashing down. They Took Note I always love reading this verse (v. 13)! Our lives should stand in such stark contrast to the world, and we should be so in love with Jesus, as evidenced by how we live our daily lives in faithfulness to him and to his teachings, that people should take note that we have been with Jesus. Even if they don't, though, this is still how we should live our lives for Christ. Stop This Thing Calling the gospel "this thing" denotes a tone of disapproval, rejection, disdain and a belittling and devaluing of the apostles, their calling, and their message (the Lord's message). They were not taken seriously by the religious leadership of their day, only so far as they posed a threat to the established religion and religious practices of that day, and to their positions of power. From what I understand, this type of treatment of the Lord's servants still goes on today in our religious institutions. Based upon the teachings of scripture, as applied to our faith and witness for Christ today, and from what I have experienced personally, and have read about, those who adhere to the true gospel of Jesus Christ are sometimes, or perhaps often, treated in the same manner as were the apostles, because many of our religious (Christian) institutions today (called churches) have gone the way of the world, have turned to man-made religion and teachings and practices, and are marketed much in the same ways in which businesses are marketed. The true gospel of Jesus Christ, which includes the need to repent of our sins and to walk in obedience to Christ, is often too offensive to these institutions trying to appeal to the likes of this world. Thus, those who preach the true gospel are sometimes, and perhaps often, ostracized and kicked aside, and perhaps are even kicked out of our churches in order to stop "this thing" from spreading any further. For We Cannot This is yet another one of my most favorite passages in scripture! The apostles did not buckle under the weight of such opposition from sinful mankind, but in following their Lord Jesus, fixing their eyes upon him, and for the joy set before them (the salvation of souls), they endured the cross (persecution and death to self), scorning its shame, and they did not lose heart, but they kept on speaking in the name of Jesus Christ, proclaiming his true gospel. And, we should follow their example, especially when our faith is being tested through times of persecution and opposition to the message of the gospel of Christ. Enable Your Servants The Lord Jesus is not oblivious to what we are going through. He can see inside our hearts and inside the hearts of those who would oppose the message of the gospel, even inside our religious institutions and among our church leadership. None of what we face presently or will face in the days to come in the way of persecution for our faith and testimony for Jesus Christ catches our Lord off guard. And, he has a plan and a purpose for it all. He will make a way where there seems to be no way, so that his gospel can continue to go forth into all the world, and then the end will come, and our Lord Jesus will return for his bride, and we will ever be with our Lord. Amen! We just need to rely upon the strength of our Lord, trust in his wisdom and discernment, and obey all that he teaches us and all that he commands us to do. And, we need to keep on praying for the saints of God throughout this world who are undergoing severe persecution because they refuse to bow to the gods of men, but choose to speak boldly in the power of the Spirit of God within them for the sake of the gospel and the salvation of human lives for eternity. Although we in America have known little of this type of severe persecution, that time is coming for us, as well, because God's word says so. Yet, we must remain strong in the mighty power of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, putting on his armor daily, so we can fight off Satan's attacks, and so we can continue to speak the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in order that people throughout the world may know him, too. Come and See / An Original Work / May 20, 2013 Based off John 1:35-51 John, the Baptist, called of God to Make straight the way for the Lord, Told his disciples about Jesus, So two of them followed Him. One of them who followed Jesus Told his brother, Simon Peter, Who then he brought to the Savior, Who had told them, "Come and see." Jesus Christ, our Lord, Messiah, On his way to Galilee found a man, Philip, So he told him, "I want you to follow Me." Philip then found his friend, And he told him, "We have found the one The prophets spoke of – He is Jesus!" Philip then said, "Come and see." Jesus saw the man, Nathanael, While he sat beneath a fig tree, Even before Philip called him, So Nathanael did believe. Nonetheless the Lord said, "You believe because of what I told you. You will see much greater things than these If you will Come and see." Jesus' calling to each one of us. He tells us to believe in Him As our Lord and Messiah, And to follow where He leads. He says we must turn from our sins, Die to sin and self each day, And put on our new lives in Jesus; Bow before Him; humbly pray. http://originalworks.info/come-and-see/

method to build the principal balances; currently, one of "PBhclust", "PBmaxvar" or "PBangprox"
Method "PBhclust" generates a Ward cluster analysis of the parts (not of the observations!) using as distance between parts the variation matrix.
Method "PBmaxvar" splits all parts in two groups after a PCA (those with positive weight against those with negative weight in the first PC), and then checks for each element whether moving it increases the variance of the resulting balance. The largest variance balance is chosen. That variance is removed, and each of the groups of parts is analysed recursively.
Method "angprox" calculates all possible balances (exhaustive combinations of "ncol(x)" elements split in three groups: +1, 0 and -1), and computes their angles with the first PC. The nearest balance is chosen. Its variance is substracted, and the algorithm is repeated recursively ensuring orthogonality of the next splittings with respect to the balances already chosen. This method creates a temporary file ".APtable" that can be removed after execution (or copypasted in your logfiles).
Note that more methods can appear in the future, and that, except "PBhclust", all methods can be VERY slow. Extensive reprogramming of these routines can be expected in the future.
All methods give a matrix containing by columns the basis elements for the canonical basis of the clr-plane used for the ilr and ipt transform. Principal Balances are balance bases approximating Principal Component in certain ways, depending on the specific method chosen.

Countrywide again slashed its 2007 earnings forecast, citing expectations of "increasingly challenging" housing and mortgage markets.

Hold Your Applause Alarm Clock: Love It or Leave It?
Talk about a quirky alarm clock! The Hold Your Applause Alarm Clock ($30) is quite incognito. At first glance, it appears to be a simple black, decorative wood cube. But when you clap, it suddenly turns into a digital clock, displaying the time in red digital numbers.
The clock is a two-inch cube, which is smaller than it appears in photos, and requires two AAA batteries. I think it's cute — and perfect for travel. What do you think?

Roz Purcell is gearing up for the launch of her second book – with a vigorous fitness regime.
The 26-year-old has been busy working out twice a day with leading personal trainer Dave Peelo in his Dublin studio.
And she was spotted this week shooting photographs in Dublin city centre for her new book which is due out in early autumn.
With shooting the next @naturalbornfeeder cookbook I've been doing some seriously early & late night sessions training to try balance it all out….. cause everybody knows I just can't say no to dessert😛😛😛 and there's some seriously good stuff in this one 😻😻😻I CANT WAIT UNTIL ITS OUT‼‼‼@penguinrandomie I don't think I've ever been so excited 😊 👉🏻 check insta story for our session
Dave has been putting Roz through vigorous paces and punishing workouts, but it's all in a day's work for the ambitious model who will reveal the results of her gruelling training regime in the food and recipe book.
'I've been training with Dave for over two years now and he's just great,' the Tipperary beauty said.
Roz will be hoping this latest offering will match the success of her debut cookbook, Natural Born Feeder.
Similarly, this new book will be an all-recipe feast with the food blogger sharing her top tips on fuelling the body for work and play Her rescue dog, Willie, might also feature in it as he was seen shooting alongside her around the city. 'Willie might make an appearance in the book,' she laughed.
Indeed, she has even branched out to cooking healthy dog treats and has shared images of Willie's homemade doggy dinners on social media this week.
Natural Born Feeder was one of the biggest sellers last year with figures showing that it sold 13,620 since January last year. Rosanna Davison's debut book, Eat Yourself Beautiful, sold 10,483 copies since its release in August 2015.
Roz has since jumped publishing ship from Gill to Penguin Books for her follow-up tome. The move could be due to the fact that Penguin propelled Pippa O'Connor to the top of the book charts last year.
Blogger Pippa's book titled Pippa: Simple Tips To Live Beautifully, was released in October last year and has already sold 24,000 copies.
Pippa outsold Roz and Rosanna Davison's books by more than 10,000 copies, so Roz is clearly pulling no punches in her battle to top the charts.
This time around however, she will have the support of her new boyfriend, music promoter Zach Desmond. The model, who formerly dated Blizzards singer Bressie, went public with her new romance last September when they were spotted kissing at Electric Picnic.
According to friends they are 'inseparable' and are 'head over heels' for each other.

Howard, C. and Vedam, A., "Statistical Approach to Analysis of Reduced Idle Power Consumption in Class 8 Sleeper Trucks," SAE Technical Paper 2005-01-3586, 2005, https://doi.org/10.4271/2005-01-3586.
This paper discusses a statistical approach to the analysis of power consumption in Class 8 Sleeper Trucks. We will also make recommendations for the electrical design of Class 8 truck.The paper discusses past electrical devices, why device use has increased, and how electrical system design has changed to keep up with truck evolution.We will analyze the electrical loads on the vehicle. This will include a list of cab and sleeper loads common to heavy trucks, current draws, and the advantages this analysis will give to the electrical designers. The analysis also provides peak and average electrical consumption for typical trucks, which helps in optimizing the associated electrical design of a truck power system.Six Sigma is used to analyze the electrical load data. Six Sigma is a systematic, data driven approach to statistically describe a process. Our process of designing an electrical system will greatly benefit from the use of this tool.The paper concludes with summary and recommended practices for an electrical design engineers to improve their system design and to ensure their confidence in an electrical system that will perform to the expectations of their customers.

Increasing tension on 40-189
A home owner from azusa, ca says:
January 12, 2016
Hi, how much can I adjust the tension so the door closes fast I dont mind the slamming. I tried turning another hole but it felt a little tight already.
Dave Sr. from SWISCO responded:
January 13, 2016
Hmm... I know there is a pretty respectable amount of adjustment in the 40-189. I have used the 40-189 in the past and was happy with the results. You said you turned it into another hole to adjust it. Maybe there is only just so much you can adjust. Due to safety concerns, the 40-189 isn't meant to close doors so fast that they would slam.

In his 2003 National Book Awardwinning memoirWaiting for Snow in Havana,Carlos Eire narrated his coming of age in Cuba just before and during the Castro revolution. That book literally ends in midair as eleven-year-old Carlos and his older brother leave Havana on an airplanealong with thousands of other childrento begin their new life in Miami in 1962. It would be years before he would see his mother again. He would never again see his beloved father.Learning to Die in Miamiopens as the plane lands and Carlos faces, with trepidation and excitement, his new life. He quickly realizes that in order for his new American self to emerge, his Cuban self must "die." And so, with great enterprise and purpose, he begins his journey.We follow Carlos as he adjusts to life in his new home. Faced with learning English, attending American schools, and an uncertain future, young Carlos confronts the age-old immigrant's plight: being surrounded by American bounty, but not able to partake right away. The abundance America has to offer excites him and, regardless of how grim his living situation becomes, he eagerly forges ahead with his own personal assimilation program, shedding the vestiges of his old life almost immediately, even changing his name to Charles. Cuba becomes a remote and vague idea in the back of his mind, something he used to know well, but now it "had ceased to be part of the world."But as Carlos comes to grips with his strange surroundings, he must also struggle with everyday issues of growing up. His constant movement between foster homes and the eventual realization that his parents are far away in Cuba bring on an acute awareness that his life has irrevocably changed. Flashing back and forth between past and future, we watch as Carlos balances the divide between his past and present homes and finds his way in this strange new world, one that seems to hold the exhilarating promise of infinite possibilities and one that he will eventually claim as his own.An exorcism and an ode,Learning to Die in Miamiis a celebration of renewalof those times when we're certain we have died and then are somehow, miraculously, reborn.

I found my board!
Hi everyone. I found out about 2 hrs ago that I'm pregnant. Still typing that is weird. Not trying with my bf, even took plan b when he finished in, did what I thought was right.
He's at work and doesn't know yet. I'm terrified to say the least. I'm 30 and my bf is younger than me, so I feel like i'm gonna hold him back. We love each other dearly and had planned on marrying in the next year or two and I told him I wanted kids by 33 which he was very okay with.
But I don't feel ready. Does any of us? I don't know. I always hoped when I found out I'd be excited, not sitting in my empty bathtub crying. It's all overwhelming, I don't know what to think and I'm so so scared that when I tell my bf he's going to be crushed and hurt. More than that, my parents are super traditional and my father is going to be CRUSHED.
Anyways, thank you for listening and giving me a place to vent. Nice to know I'm not alone in the "oh crap, what the heck is this??" when looking at the test!
Re: I found my board!
The baby I'm pregnant with now was very planned, but my first was not. It may take everyone a bit of time to adjust to something so unexpected, but in the end, watching you grow and the anticipation of a new son/daughter/grandchild etc, will trump how they will feel in the beginning.
It can be hard at first, but I believe things happen for a reason, and I can't imagine life without my son!
Re: I found my board!
You'll be great mama! I found out I was pregnant after a one time thing last year. December 4th I tested and was right where you are. I cried the first day and then freaked out til I bought all I needed for him.. But now he's here and even though I'm a single mom, my life has gotten so much more fulfilling and meaningful.. I was in labor my 25th birthday.. So I may not have been ready but life happens. A due date club here will be a great tool for you. And it sounds like your bf will be on board and thrilled, too.. Maybe just initial shock. :)
Re: I found my board!
He deeefinitely had the initial shock. Just kinda laid there and kept saying "i love you regardless but I'm not ready to have a baby yet." Peed on two sticks in one hour, so one was there and the second was faint. Making an appt in the morning to have everything checked out by a dr. I know they say plan b doesn't harm an existing pregnancy but I want to be sure.
Thank you so much for the comments ladies, it's nice to know I'm not alone!
Re: I found my board!
I wouldn't be worried. Many of us feel we aren't ready when it happens. I would definatly reccommend joining a DDC. the ladies are Great and helpful. i haven't foudn one bad person on here yet..
Re: I found my board!
Just lurking. The baby I had just 5 days ago was very unplanned. I had a horrific pregnancy last time, and if I was able to choose between another child and never being pregnant again, we'd only have 2 kids! But she's here, and she's adorable and lovable. Kind of chaotic with her being the third. My last is only 19 months old, and she is still so needy. My first is 5 but might as well be considered a toddler since she has Autism. Life happens. It'll be OK. ;)
Re: I found my board!
Thank you for the responses. It's sinking in more and because my hormonal mood swings are so unsteady, I go from super scared to crying to happy then back again. In the end, I know life doesn't follow our plans and that's okay and this will be okay, even if it means I'm doing it alone.
Re: I found my board!
my baby was quite unplanned. my parents had such high hopes for me and when i told them i was pregnant i know they gave up on all of them. i graduated high school at 16, would have been done with a 2yr degree by the time most kids are starting, and i got pregnant at 17 instead.
my mom has since come around but my dad is still distant about the baby. the sting wears off for you though, after awhile. you'll soon be too involved with your body and baby to be too concerned with what others think about your situation.
Re: I found my board!
my first was unplanned the current pregnancy was planned it isnt easy but you will be able to get through it

Tim Cook is no Steve Jobs - and so far, that hasn't been a problem for Apple Inc.
It has become the world's most valuable company, adding about $265 billion in value since Cook became chief executive 13 months ago. Shares have soared 76 percent, and profits continue to rise. Investors feel valued with Cook lending them an ear and handing them a dividend.
But all that may not be enough.
With Apple expected to announce the long-awaited iPhone 5 on Wednesday and reap heavy sales from it, analysts and software developers are looking beyond the product launch to whether Cook can set his own course at the company after the death of its co-founder.
"I think we are definitely still riding Steve Jobs' stewardship," said Matt Brezina, chief executive of mobile startup Sincerely Inc. "Tim needs to define what kind of leader he is externally. As a developer on their platform, I'm not quite sure what kind of leader he is yet."
Much of Apple's success can still be traced back to Jobs. So far, Cook has delivered only incremental product improvements with the Siri-equipped iPhone 4S and an iPad tablet with better screen resolution - not the showstopper that Apple will eventually need in a fast-paced, hits-driven business. Both the iPhone and the iPad are credited to Jobs.
Last quarter the company, usually known for reporting blowout numbers, released disappointing financial results, missing analysts' earnings-per-share estimates for only the second time in more than 30 quarters.
So the pressure is on Cook to deliver some of that old Apple magic - and it's not likely to be with a new version of a 5-year-old smartphone.
"The $64,000 question is: Does Tim have the ability to lead the organization to another major breakthrough in a new product category?" said Pete Solvik, managing director of venture capital firm Sigma and a former Apple employee. "I have little doubt he is going to have continued success with revisions of the current products. Everybody hopes that he has the ability to sustain the business with a new hit too."
An entirely new product, such as a much-rumored iTV television set, would help Cook build his own legacy, said Scott Thompson, an analyst at FBR Capital Markets. He said Cook needs to introduce such a device within the next 12 months.
"It will be the first true opportunity he will have to show he can deliver end-to-end product as well as his predecessor," he said.
"Apple has to find a product that's going to help it sustain its earnings momentum in the long run and continue growing earnings at an annual rate of 15 percent or more," he said. "This year-over-year comparison gets much more difficult as the company continues to drive record earnings."
Cook, 51, joined Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple in 1998, calling the move from Compaq "without a doubt the best decision that I ever made."
After he replaced the ailing Jobs, many worried that innovation would suffer without the company's visionary co-founder. But the transition has been almost seamless, analysts and industry watchers say, thanks to Jobs' careful grooming of Cook and Cook's experience filling in for Jobs during three medical leaves.
"Apple hasn't missed a beat throughout what must have been an emotional transition across the company," Twitter Inc. CEO Dick Costolo said. "It's a testament to the company's faith in Tim and his tremendous leadership."
When Jobs died last October after a long struggle with pancreatic cancer, it "was absolutely the saddest days of my life," Cook recalled at a conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., in May.
"But at some point late last year, I sort of - somebody kind of shook me and said, 'It's time to get on,' " he said. "And so that sadness was replaced by this intense determination to continue the journey, and that's where it is today."
Cook has been known to show up in the cafeteria and sit down with employees, and has built a reputation as a workaholic who prefers biking over mingling with Silicon Valley types. An Auburn University graduate with an industrial engineering degree, Cook is a huge Auburn football fan and has a vast collection of Tigers memorabilia.
Cook is more down to earth, hands-off and accessible than Jobs was, and far less confrontational, said analyst Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies Inc. Wall Street sees Cook's management style as "more stable" and appreciates that he has communicated more with the investor community than Jobs did, Bajarin added.
"At the moment, Tim Cook has proven to be worth his weight in gold," he said.
The notoriously secretive company has also become more transparent about its manufacturing practices, and Cook has made it a priority to help improve working conditions at the facilities that produce Apple's iPhones, iPads and other devices. And it has stepped up its corporate giving - long a sore point among critics who blasted the tech behemoth for being stingy.
"He's not just continuing Steve's legacy. He's an independent thinker who has taken a different road on any number of strategies and approaches to business," Solvik said.
Before becoming CEO, Cook was Apple's chief operating officer and oversaw all of the company's worldwide sales and operations. He previously worked at Compaq, Intelligent Electronics and IBM, and got his MBA from Duke University.
He may not be as creative or have the same kind of showmanship as Jobs, but the company has a deep bench to support Cook, Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu said. Analysts said Cook's strengths are as an operational leader with a strong business vision; now the company will rely even more on design chief Jonathan Ive for product innovation and breakthroughs.
Ive has hinted several times that the company is working on a major new product that, as he told the Daily Telegraph recently, "feels like the most important and the best work we've done." What that is, and when it will be released, is anyone's guess.
For now, Cook is focused on Wednesday's event. The newest iPhone is rumored to have a larger screen, high-speed 4G LTE connectivity, a better camera, faster processors and a smaller dock connector.
There is huge pent-up demand for the new iPhone, and Bajarin predicted that the company would sell 8 million to 10 million of the smartphones in the first 10 days and an additional 15 million to 20 million in the holiday quarter.
Although Cook hasn't done anything groundbreaking yet, investors have been impressed with his ability to stay the course and keep Apple on top, said Kevin Landis, chief investment officer at Firsthand Capital Management, an Apple investor.
"There is not a recipe for creativity; there is not a formula for inspired genius. So people are naturally skeptical that there is another rabbit coming out of that hat," he said. "But that doesn't mean Apple can't be a great company for the next decade even if there is never another 'Oh my God.' "
