text: I know that it is very late introduce myself in TFI, but TFI has helped me a lot in deciding my dream car. After reading the reviews, expereinces of many of the friends here I have truly decided that I will only buy this Italian beauty. I have even ordered Swift VDI during the time I was going through the reviews and expereinces in TFI but there was no other option infront of me other than just cancel the booking of Swift to bring this baby to my family. I am very much happy that I took a right decision on time. I bought 1.3 Active BNW on July 24 2011. I work in Bangalore hence I brought this here from Kerala and was using it till Feb 2012 mid. I know Punto owners makes more miles even at the very starting because of passion they have. Same thing happened to me, I reached 20,000km last week.. Yet to reach the anniversary. I selected the Punto because of its: 1. Steadiness on the road and the inside comfortness. 2. Great VFM 3. Interior look and feel escpecially the dashboard. 4. Fiat Engine(Ofcourse) 5. A new elgant look. 6. Good boot space and interior space. 7. I just love the tune it makes while closing the doors/boot. There are more.. I have never faced any techinical issue with the car till this 20,000 km. I have visited SC for the 1st Service, 2nd Service and two other times for fixing the fog lamp, Fuel Tank lid lock issue. Coolant level went low at 14000 kilomoter and as per the SC advise, I added a ltttle bit of water that is available petrol pump. Overall, there was no technical issues so far, even at 20,000km I feel it is as if the new car. I have done the below additions/mods thus far time to time in the order.I know those are al very basic.. 1. Music Player (Pioneer HU and JBL speakers) 2. Sunflim 3. Mud Flaps 4. Neck support 5. Fog Lamp 6. Black Vinyl on front bumber between the grills. Recently I have gone through car detailing thread, Anoop and Cinjith have helped so much to understand how to care it to maintain the look and shine. I am extremly thankful all of the TFIans. See you. Ganesh ---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

I like the proposal. However I see no need for the 'C' categor, y and disagree about changing defaults during any future 2.next bump. HonorCipherOrder, as an example, must be inverted. Users requiring 'C' can override things to make that happen. I see two 'quick start' one-line configs, strictly modern and cpu intensive, or equally modern and just a bit more relaxed about cipher strength. Any other client is no longer interoperable with any popular site, following final changes by issues in Dec '16.

Monday 20 November 2017
"Russian athletes banned from singing national anthem at hotels at London World Championship."RT reported Russian athletes participating in the 2017 IAAF World Championships athletics competition in London as "neutrals" – that is, who, for various reasons, are not allowed or not willing to represent their country of origin – have been banned from displaying any signs of national identity. This rule applies to any "neutral" athlete from any country.
"The most acute anxiety is being experienced by the Football Association of Norway, which on May 16 sent the International Federation of Association Football [FIFA] a letter that contains a request to launch an investigation into the use of immigrant labor in the construction of the Zenit Arena stadium in St. Petersburg under conditions reminiscent of modern slavery, without registration, for a beggarly payment and so on. This topic is an instrument of political pressure and blackmail, and in this case, it is an information campaign. We urge you to not react to these fakes."FalseWorld bodies and journalists say North Koreans are working in slavery-like conditions in St. Petersburg.Russia's Foreign Ministry has denied that North Koreans building a stadium for the 2018 World Cup in St. Petersburg are working under conditions reminiscent of modern slavery, calling these accusations "fake" and "political blackmail." However, several international organizations, including FIFA, the world football body, and the United Nations confirm these violations of labor rights in Russia.
"I am certain we won't be denied the World Cup."Source: State-run TASS news agency, March 3, 2017Russia's state-sponsored doping scandal plus questions about how the country was awarded the 2018 World Cup have prompted questions about whether the premier soccer event could be switched to another country. But with stadiums in place and tickets being sold that is highly unlikely at this point.
"I want to say once again: there has never been and I hope there will never be any state system to support doping."Despite Putin's repeated denials, the McLaren report uncovered widespread, state-sanctioned doping in Russian sport. As a result, Russian athletes have been disqualified from several sports competitions, including the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. Russia's anti-doping chief did admit to an "institutional conspiracy," but quickly retracted her remarks.
"If you have sex five days before taking a doping test, they can find male DNA in you."There is no scientific data to back Mutko's claim. The World Anti-Doping Agency says DNA is very personal and cannot be shared via sex.
"We can say today with confidence that in Russia, a project with the most successful utilization of the Olympic heritage has been implemented. The games brought positive social and economic changes…."
The Russian opposition exposed the huge waste and graft in the Games and even officials provided conflicting reports of costs and conceded over budget. Most of the funding came from state coffers and guarantee of state bank loans which have still not been repaid –and have now been generously restructured.
"We have no proof that, say, Minister Mutko is involved. If there were proof, he would not be in the government now."Russia's prime minister defended the promotion of former Minister of Sport Vitaly Mutko to a deputy prime minister post, saying there is no proof of Mutko's involvement in an international doping conspiracy. But a watchdog report shows he exercised active oversight over the doping program.
"We can say unequivocally that any involvement of official Moscow, the Russian government, or any Russian secret services in such actions is out of the question. It is completely ruled out."Russia claims they were not involved in the hacking of the World Anti-Doping Agency that leaked confidential medical records of Olympic athletes. The agency says it traced the IP address to the Russian military intelligence agency.
"Russia is one of the largest financial contributors" to the World Anti-Doping Association (WADA), giving "$700,000-$800,000, or something like that."Russian hockey legend Vyacheslav Fetisov says Russia is one of the biggest financial backers of the World Anti-Doping Agency." His comments on August 18 came shortly after Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko threatened to halt Moscow's payments to WADA, which commissioned the probe that led to dozens of Russian athletes being banned from the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. Russia is indeed one of WADA's top financial contributors.

Breeders of crack sprinter Overdose enjoying the ride
WHEN a horse is sold for peanuts and subsequently establishes itself as a superstar, you could forgive its vendor for feeling a little peeved.
The original connections of Overdose, the 2,000gns Tattersalls yearling who blossomed into a crack sprinter and is set to take his chancein Sunday's Prix l'Abbaye, have found themselves in that position, yet they are enjoying following the crack Hungarian sprinter's career just as much as if they owned him.
Of course the fact that they have plenty of close relatives helps sweeten the pill!
Peter Player, whose Whatton Manor Stud consigned the son of Starborough to Newmarket on behalf of his breeders Graham and Di Robinson, can still remember how the yearling showed little sign of what was to come.
"He may have improved since, but to be perfectly frank, he wasn't particularly correct in front," he says. "What he did have, however, was a big backside on him - plus he was charming to deal with."
With a wry smile he recalls the advice he gave the Robinsons. "I said, 'get rid of this horse whatever happens'- which just goes to show what an inexact science this business is!"
It turned out to be an extremely rare piece of misplaced advice from Player, who has served as chairman of The National Stud, the British Racing School andNewmarket racecourse.
It's likely, however, that the horse would have found himself in the sale ring anyway, as it was the Robinsons' intention from the start to sell colts and retain fillies from their broodmares.
"As a vendor you don't really have any idea exactly what you're selling, but Overdose is the only one we've ever let slip through our fingers like that," he adds. "And it's not all bad news as he has done a wonderful job of advertising the family - we have half a dozen of his close relatives here on the stud."
It is such twists of fate that create champions, and he is magnanimous in his praise of Overdose's new connections.
"The horse is one of those wiry, tough individuals. He must have a brilliant trainer, and they deserve plenty of recognition for keeping him unbeaten after ten races."
The Robinsons are equally warm in their appreciation of Overdose's exploits.
"I'm so pleased for the owners, the trainer, the jockey - the whole team," Graham Robinson says. "We have had several conversations with the owners over the phone with the help of an interpreter. They even asked us for advice on which British courses might suit him.
"In fact it was one of our trainers, Rupert Pritchard-Gordon, who recommended thatthey put Overdose in the Abbaye, and not the Prix de la Foret."
Around ten years ago Robinson sold his "small" engineering company that provided steel for aeroplanes, submarines and Rolls Royce cars.
He modestly refers to himself as a "minnow" in the bloodstock industry - but sending Overdose's dam Our Poppet to Dansili in 2006, when the Juddmonte stallion stood at just £12,500, isn't bad for a minnow.
Not that Robinson would take full credit for that, or any other inspired decision that has led to him sitting pretty with a small but perfectly formed set of bloodstock interests that includes racehorses in the care of Somerset trainer Andy Haynes and Pritchard-Gordon in Chantilly, and two broodmares - Our Poppet and the Listed-placed Lady Lindsay.
Since Overdose, Our Poppet has produced three fillies: a Lomitas two-year-old (now in training with Haynes), the Dansili yearling and a foal by Bertolini. She is currently in-foal to Clodovil.
"Any success is thanks to the whole team - the owner, the breeder, the stud grooms, the trainer, the jockey," he says. "Peter Player and his family have done a wonderful job in caring for the mares - theylook after them as if they were their own. They are always there to helpwith any queries and we love talking over breeding matters with them."
It looks unlikely that the Robinsons will be relinquishing any of their racehorses foras little as 2,000gns again any time in the near future.
Graham Robinson reports that they have received plenty of interest in Overdose's half-sisters - and not just from Central Europe.
But for now they plan to keep hold of the fillies in the hope that they will emulate their famous older brother.

A Visit to Todd and Gloria - Todd Taylor Wines
Clarksburg Travel Blog› entry 9 of 13 › view all entries
For those who don't know, Todd Taylor Wines is the winery I volunteer at as often as I can on weekends. Gloria and I had been emailing back and forth and I told her Brett was coming to visit me and I've been wanting them to meet. Todd and Gloria both signed a couple bottles for me that I took to Europe in December for Brett's Bday. We decided to call it an early day in Napa and head out to Sacramento for a quick visit to the winery, my house, and grab a bite to eat before heading back to San Fran to spend the night.
We arrived at the Sugar Mill and it was pretty empty. We got to do a new private type tasting with Todd which was fun.
I then took Brett to 3 other wineries and talked with the staff and had a few of their wines as well. I love working down there because there are 5 wineries on site and it's a great place to spend the day, bring a picnic lunch or something.

claws-mail-indicator is a simple plug-in which adds support to Claws Mail for the Ubuntu indicators. Notifications are displayed in the Messaging menu, with the option to display a notification bubble each time new messages arrive. It was developed and tested on Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty) 64-bit.
OpenSMTPD is an RFC compliant, secure, and simple SMTP server ported from OpenBSD to Linux. It supports the SMTP protocol, including SSL versions for added security, virtual domains, forward files, and external delivery agents like procmail, and can do most of the basic things that other MTA implementations do.
WAWAS is a full PHP application server. The main server core listens to any IP/port and passes data to any mounted protocol on the listener. Implemented protocols are HTTP1.1/1.0, Comet, Telnet, DNS, mail, and FTP. Each protocol runs modules that build response data based on the requests. Memory object persistence allows data and caches to be shared across protocols or time. All configuration uses XML. It can be launched as a daemon, with or without forked workers, and is nearly as fast as Apache in preliminary tests.
Exim4U is a Web-based user interface and integrated software configuration for the Exim message transfer agent (MTA). Using any modern Web browser, you can use it to manage Exim email domains, user accounts, aliases, forwarders, and much more. Exim4U is a derivative work of the Virtual Exim (Vexim) project.
Sendooway is a multi-user and multi-target ESMTP proxy that acts as mail transfer agent. Instead of configuring SMTP servers and authentication data for every mail identity on every device, it allows you to configure them centrally. Sendooway automatically uses the correct smarthost, logs on with the user's account data, and sends their mail.
S22.Imap is an easy-to-use and well-documented .NET library component for communicating with and receiving electronic mail from an Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) servers. It supports IMAP IDLE notifications and IMAP over SSL, allows selective fetching of parts of mail messages, is inherently thread-safe, and is well documented with lots of example code.

"And bedpan experience.
Maybe you need that. Not me."
Hilarious. Now down to ad hominems. When you don't have a rational argument, demean the other speaker.
"Medina just plain sucks. Shes nobody with nothing to offer except talk."
That's like going to war with a shot-out m24 Yugo Mauser and passing on a SCAR that's never been fired because "it's never been tested in battle. It's all just range time."
Like the one in your post #30?
"So *you* are another RINO"
So you admit the following?
When you dont have a rational argument, demean the other speaker.
Because that's what you did there, chief.

A lot of people in the world aspire to work in the United States. This may be because there are not enough jobs in their country, or the value of the United States dollar in their country is very high, or they would like a better life for themselves and their family. One of the ways to work in the United States is through the temporary work program.
Without any explanation, the US Supreme Court gave Pres. Barack Obama's immigration initiatives another blow as it denied last Oct. 3 a petition to rehear United States v. Texas, also known as the DAPA and DACA+ case.
Through an early morning tweet on September 5, President Donald Trump signaled what the government dubbed as an "orderly phasing out" of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) that was signed by his predecessor Barack Obama.
Good news to U visa petitioners and their relatives who are residing abroad. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has agreed to allow them to apply for a parole to facilitate their entry to the United States while waiting for their visa to become available.
Read more: Parole for U Visa Holders and Family Members Residing Abroad
The Republicans in the House have introduced bills to make it easier to deport undocumented immigrants. This is in support of President Trump's agenda of mass deportation of undocumented immigrants.
Read more: Republicans Introduce Bills to Facilitate Mass Deportations
The U visa is a temporary visa granted to victims of certain criminal activities which occurred in the United States, US territory or US military installation. It is granted to victims who suffered substantial mental or physical abuse as a result of the criminal activity and who, as a result of being at the receiving end of such an unfortunate circumstance, possess credible and reliable information about the criminal activity.
Immigration raids throughout the United States have frightened a lot of undocumented immigrants, especially farm workers. It is estimated that up to 70% of farm workers in California, or about 560,000 people are undocumented immigrants. This is a big problem for the United States because farm workers contribute to the $54 Billion agricultural industry.
The employment-based first preference visa (EB-1) is granted to persons of extraordinary ability. They don't need a job offer and they may self-petition. It is one of the fastest ways to get a green card.

The aggressive implementation of the immigration laws by the Trump administration has seen a lot of immigration arrests and deportations. This has sent shockwaves throughout the United States, especially to the undocumented immigrants and their families.

Conditional permanent residents (CPRs) who gain their residency status through their marriage to a US citizen or lawful permanent resident (LPR) need to file Form I-751 (petition to remove the conditions on residence) within 90 days prior to the expiration of their status.

Our Views: Dig deeper into Enbridge pipeline with impact statement
"Everybody is concerned about the safety of their communities, and Enbridge is, too. We definitely want to work with communities so they feel safe with the pipeline and understand that Enbridge is working to protect that community."
—Becky Haase, Enbridge spokeswoman
�Janesville Councilman Jim Farrell is right. The state Department of Natural Resources should back up and do an environmental impact statement on the Enbridge Line 61 pipeline that runs from Superior to Illinois, including a stretch near the Rock-Walworth county line.
Yes, it would cost more time and money than the environmental assessment done before Enbridge got a permit in 2006 and installed the line. As Jim Leute's in-depth report detailed in last Sunday's Gazette, the Rock County Board unanimously passed a resolution requesting an impact statement. Last month, however, Janesville's council voted 4-2 against such a measure out of concerns that it was largely symbolic.
"I don't think it's symbolic to ask government to do what should be done," Farrell told Leute. "Sometimes it takes a number of voices to get something done by government. Will it prompt the DNR to do something? Maybe not, but unless you make your views known, nothing will be done."
Reasonable enough. Though the line is buried, is it not reasonable to dig deeper into environmental risks given Enbridge's history? While this Canadian company claims an above-average safety record, consider:
-- Enbridge paid $1.1 million to settle DNR allegations of more than 100 environmental violations, including degrading wetlands, streams and private properties, during Line 61 construction.
-- Enbridge's Wisconsin lines have ruptured at least five times since 2006, says activist Bruce Noble of Wisconsin Grassroots Pipeline.
-- Enbridge was responsible for the largest inland oil spill in U.S. history, involving 1 million gallons, in 2010. That closed 35 miles of Michigan's Kalamazoo River and required dredging. Enbridge agreed to settle a lawsuit by paying $6.8 million, The Associated Press reported in December.
Line 61 would carry 1.2 million barrels per day under Enbridge's plan. The controversial Keystone XL line would move only 860,000 barrels through our nation's midsection.
Enbridge says it has improved its practices since the Kalamazoo disaster. Area fire departments say the company routinely engages them in drills and has been great to work with. That's all good to hear.
While the environmental assessment gauges significant effects from a project, an impact statement would analyze and disclose those effects. The latter also affords more public comment.
Noble argues that Enbridge lacks transparency about its products and that people don't know the hazards spills could create. Even spokeswoman Becky Haase admits Enbridge carries 80 commodity types, depending on customer demands. That's a lot to know about without thorough analysis.
Some observers reason that Rock County was right to request the larger study because the pipeline runs through it, but they note the line is miles from Janesville. Line 61, however, is one of four in a group crossing the Rock River near Lake Koshkonong. A spill could poison not just the river that runs through Janesville but area groundwater.
Pipelines seem safer than transporting petroleum by train or truck. A pipeline leak, however, would leave Wisconsinites wondering why the DNR wasn't proactive about an impact statement.
As Rock County Board Supervisor Rich Bostwick of Janesville told Leute: "An assessment is nowhere near as comprehensive as an impact statement, and without it, how do you know what could go wrong and therefore how to deal with it?"
How, indeed?

Chondrichthyes any member of the diverse group of cartilaginous fishes that includes the sharks, skates, rays, and chimaeras. The class is one of the two great groups of living fishes, the other being the osteichthians, or bony fishes. The name Selachii is also sometimes used for the group containing the sharks. Many unique structural, physiological, biochemical, and behavioral characters make these fishes of particular interest to scientists. The dissection of a small shark is often the biology student's introduction to vertebrate anatomy. These fishes are, in a sense, living fossils, for many of the living sharks and rays are assigned to the same genera as species that swam the Cretaceous seas over 100 million years ago. More than 400 species of sharks and about 500 species of rays are known. Although by any reckoning a successful group, the modern chondrichthians number far fewer species than the more advanced bony fishes, or teleosts. The danger some sharks and stingrays present...READ MORE

We might learn something about these drinks that commonly seen on a small sari-sari store and one of the best-buys on today's market.
Watch this video of an experiment and see what will happen if you will soak an unpeeled boiled egg in a glass filled with a Cola or Soft Drink for a year. You will be shocked on the result that will came out after this.
As you know a bottle of soft drink contains Oz caffeine citrate, Oz citric acid and Phosphoric acid and we all so know that the skin of an egg is made of Calcium,Phosphorus, and Sodium. These elements dissolved by Cola's ingredients. That is why if you always drink a cola , then your teeth will surely be damaged.Also, if you're drinking too much Cola, it may harm you and could cause you to have an Osteoporosis because it consumes Calcium of your organism.
Do not expect the company to print these warnings on the label on each bottle.

Acts 6:8-9New International Version - UK (NIVUK)
Stephen seized
8 Now Stephen, a man full of God's grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people. 9 Opposition arose, however, from members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called) – Jews of Cyrene and Alexandria as well as the provinces of Cilicia and Asia – who began to argue with Stephen.

Acts 7:54-8:4New International Version - UK (NIVUK)
The stoning of Stephen
54 When the members of the Sanhedrin heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him. 55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56 'Look,' he said, 'I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.'
57 At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, 58 dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul.
59 While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.' 60 Then he fell on his knees and cried out, 'Lord, do not hold this sin against them.' When he had said this, he fell asleep.
8 And Saul approved of their killing him.
The church persecuted and scattered
On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. 2 Godly men buried Stephen and mourned deeply for him. 3 But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off both men and women and put them in prison.
Philip in Samaria
4 Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went.

A couple of margaritas ago, I pulled some brats out their four hour 140°F sous vide water bath. They were ugly.
I fired up my modified Weber Kettle®…the one I used for the St. Louis cut ribs I talked about a few weeks ago and got things a-smokin with some hunks of red oak.
After about 35 minutes into a 250°F smoke session, the heard the brats sizzlin'. Tis a beautiful sound. They smelled great and looked tasty. I pulled them out.
These were prepped in the same way as I always do: a little whole grain mustard, a little ketchup, and a smattering of home-made sauerkraut.
Given the success of my first outing with Sous Vide Yuengling Beer Brats, I doubled the time in the water bath and gave them some smoking-hot love in the Weber instead of a stove-top sear. The extra time and effort, such that it is, was well worth it given the tender and exceptionally juicy outcome!
I think I hear another margarita calling my name.

Today I went for a run along the disused railway line from Burley to Brockenhurst in the New Forest. I wanted this post to be more about how lucky I feel to have such beautiful surroundings on my doorstep so I thought I'd share a few photos I took on my phone. I was always more of a seaside person growing up (and to a large extent I still am) but there is something so magical and rural about the forest. I can't wait for it to be Autumn again as I know it's going to be even more amazing when the leaves start turning and there's a bit more of a chill in the air to cool me down!
Today I ran just over four miles - I had to walk for a few paces now and then as my legs weren't used to running on uneven ground and were quite sore at the beginning. I left in the last picture as it made me chuckle a bit, don't think I'm going to be winning any 5ks with my 40 minute time! The image is from the Nike website - I run with my iPhone (hence the cool bumbag - cringe!) and use the Nike Running app; it's absolutely brilliant considering it's free and records all your times, distances and routes as well as syncing it to the Nike website where you can access more information and set yourself goals.
Considering my post a little while ago where I was feeling immensely stressed and pressured I have actually had the most relaxing long weekend ever and it's done me the absolute world of good. Last week I was on a teaching course (PTTLLS) doing 3-4 hours of coursework a night and feeling anxious about the assessed training session I had to lead but I passed the course, managed to keep my emails back in the office in order and then spent Friday when I got home blitzing the house so it's now all nice and clean and I just feel calm and on top of everything. I feel like I am definitely more suited to a life of leisure; I could definitely get used to that feeling at the beginning of a few days off where you feel time stretching out in front of you and you know you can just relax and enjoy it. I only have a two day week this week before we head off to End of the Road festival on Thursday and I couldn't be more excited. I've decided I'm going to treat us to some yummy goodies from Abel and Cole before we go - Tom bought a new fridge for the campervan and I can't think of anything better than shipping off with a fridge full of organic cheeses, bread, meat, juice, and of course, cider! If you have Spotify you can get in the End of the Road folk-y groove with this awesome playlist I found here.
How have you all been spending your Bank Holiday weekend? Has it been fun-packed or have you been relaxing like me?

The book of the prophet Jeremiah, chapter 27, Vulgate and King James Version
1 In principio regni Sedeciae filii Iosiae regis Iudae factum est verbum istud ad Ieremiam a Domino dicens:
2 "Haec dicit Dominus ad me: Fac tibi vincula et iuga et pones ea in collo tuo
3 et mittes ea ad regem Edom et ad regem Moab et ad regem filiorum Ammon et ad regem Tyri et ad regem Sidonis in manu nuntiorum, qui venerunt Ierusalem ad Sedeciam regem Iudae;
4 et praecipies eis, ut ad dominos suos loquantur: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel: Haec dicetis ad dominos vestros:
5 Ego feci terram et hominem et iumenta, quae sunt super faciem terrae, in fortitudine mea magna et in brachio meo extento et dedi eam ei, qui placuit in oculis meis.
6 Et nunc itaque ego dedi omnes terras istas in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis servi mei, insuper et bestias agri dedi ei, ut serviant illi;
7 et servient ei omnes gentes et filio eius et filio filii eius, donec veniat tempus terrae eius etiam ipsius; et servient ei gentes multae et reges magni.
8 Gens autem et regnum, quod non servierit Nabuchodonosor regi Babylonis, et quicumque non curvaverit collum suum sub iugo regis Babylonis, in gladio et in fame et in peste visitabo super gentem illam, ait Dominus, donec consumam eos in manu eius.
9 Vos ergo nolite audire prophetas vestros et divinos et somniatores et augures et maleficos, qui dicunt vobis: "Non servietis regi Babylonis",
10 quia mendacium prophetant vobis, ut longe vos faciant de terra vestra, et eiciam vos, et pereatis.
11 Porro gens, quae subiecerit cervicem suam sub iugo regis Babylonis et servierit ei, dimittam eam in terra sua, dicit Dominus, et colet eam et habitabit in ea".
12 Et ad Sedeciam regem Iudae locutus sum secundum omnia verba haec dicens: "Subicite colla vestra sub iugo regis Babylonis et servite ei et populo eius, et vivetis.
13 Quare moriemini tu et populus tuus gladio, fame et peste, sicut locutus est Dominus ad gentem, quae servire noluerit regi Babylonis?
14 Nolite audire verba prophetarum dicentium vobis: "Non servietis regi Babylonis", quia mendacium ipsi loquuntur vobis.
15 Quia non misi eos, ait Dominus, et ipsi prophetant in nomine meo mendaciter, ut eiciam vos et pereatis, tam vos quam prophetae, qui vaticinantur vobis".
16 Et ad sacerdotes et ad populum istum locutus sum dicens: "Haec dicit Dominus: Nolite audire verba prophetarum vestrorum, qui prophetant vobis dicentes: "Ecce vasa domus Domini revertentur de Babylone nunc cito". Mendacium enim prophetant vobis.
17 Nolite ergo audire eos, sed servite regi Babylonis, ut vivatis. Quare datur haec civitas in solitudinem?
18 Et si prophetae sunt, et est verbum Domini in eis, occurrant Domino exercituum, ut non veniant vasa, quae derelicta fuerant in domo Domini et in domo regis Iudae et in Ierusalem, in Babylonem".
19 Quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum ad columnas et ad mare et ad bases et ad reliqua vasorum, quae remanserunt in civitate hac,
20 quae non tulit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, cum transferret Iechoniam filium Ioachim regem Iudae de Ierusalem in Babylonem et omnes optimates Iudae et Ierusalem;
21 quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel, ad vasa, quae derelicta sunt in domo Domini et in domo regis Iudae et Ierusalem:
22 "In Babylonem transferentur et ibi erunt usque ad diem visitationis eorum, dicit Dominus; et afferri faciam ea et restitui in loco isto".
King James Version
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 Thus saith the LORD to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,
3 And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;
4 And command them to say unto their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters;
5 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.
6 And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.
7 And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.
8 And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
9 Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
10 For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.
11 But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.
12 ¶ I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
13 Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
15 For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.
16 Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD'S house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
17 Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste?
18 But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
19 ¶ For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,
20 Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
21 Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;
22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.

SAN DIEGO -- The package is called "Chicago." For the Cathedral Catholic High football team, it is the formation of big shoulders. And championships.
Jonny Martin rushed for 160 yards and two touchdowns -- both outof the Chicago alignment -- as Cathedral Catholic won its fourthconsecutive CIF San Diego Section Division III title with a 24-7victory over Lincoln on Monday afternoon at Qualcomm Stadium.
"That's one of my favorite formations, obviously, having about 800 pounds in front of me," Martin said. "I love that. I love that formation, and it's pretty much unstoppable with big kids like that."
The Chicago package is an unbalanced line formation in which 325-pound Andrew In and 265-pound Brian McArdle, the starting offensive tackles, line up side-by-side and are joined on the same side of the ball by reinforcements from the Dons' defensive line. When 301-pound nose guard Mustafa Jalil is part of the package, the name is modified.
"We call it Chicago Huge sometimes when Big Moose is in," McArdle said.
It came up huge for Cathedral Catholic (8-5) early in the fourth quarter when Martin took a pitch behind all that beef and threaded his way for a 23-yard touchdown run that put the Dons ahead 17-0.
"We just try to get our big guys and put bodies on bodies," Cathedral Catholic coach Sean Doyle said. "And let a great running back just kind of skirt in between and get there."
Martin is the latest in a line of top running backs to come out of the Cathedral-University program. (When the school moved from San Diego to Carmel Valley in 2005, it changed its name from University of San Diego High to Cathedral Catholic.) Others include John Roberts, Demetrius Sumler and Tyler Gaffney, the 2008 CIF section player of the year who's now at Stanford.
"With all the running backs before me, I wanted to go here and I wanted to be one of them," said Martin, who rushed for 1,715 yards and 19 touchdowns as a senior. "And now I feel like I'm kind of on that level. Coming into high school, I felt like I could do it. I worked hard my whole high school career. Now I've got four rings and it feels great."
Martin also scored an insurance touchdown on a 4-yard run with 2:39 to play. It came after Lincoln was forced to go for it on fourth down deep in its own territory and came up short. That touchdown, too, came out of the Chicago formation.
"That's our big package," McArdle said. "We want to get a touchdown on that play. When we have it, we've just got to push, push, push."
After finishing tied for fourth in the six-team Eastern League, Lincoln (8-6) put together a nice postseason run with victories over Castle Park, Ramona and St. Augustine.
But Lincoln's sophomore quarterback, Ta'jon Moody, lasted just one series in the championship game because of a foot injury that he suffered in the semifinals four days earlier, and the Cathedral Catholic defense smothered the short-handed Hornets until backup QB Erick Jones connected with Tyrell Robinson on a 12-yard scoring pass with 5:37 to play.
Cathedral Catholic's defense held Lincoln's option attack to 105 yards rushing and less than three yards per attempt. Jones threw three interceptions, with free safety Eric Sapp grabbing two of them.
"I thought we did a really good job defensively," said Lincoln coach Ron Hamamoto, who became the first coach to take three different schools to the section finals. "But we just couldn't get anything going offensively, and our guys on the defensive side just got tired. They were on the field too long. And with that offense, it's just a matter of time before they start breaking you."
Sophomore quarterback Garrett Bogart hit J.J. Stavola with a 20-yard touchdown pass to get the Dons on the board with 5:42 to play in the first half, and Jacob Roman booted a 28-yard field goal as Cathedral Catholic took a 10-0 lead into halftime.
The score remained that way until the fourth quarter, when Martin got going behind all of his big friends.
"That's one of the reasons they're so hard to defend is because they just do things that most teams don't do," Hamamoto said. "I tip my hat to them."

Security Thought for Thursday: With DLP, Don't Just Treat the Symptoms, Address the Cause
by Neil MacDonald | September 24, 2009 | 4 Comments
I've talked to several organizations (commercial and federal governments) that have banned the use of all USB flash drives as part of a data loss prevention (DLP) strategy. This may indeed be necessary and provides immediate protection of data loss. However, its a blunt, coarse control that really doesn't solve the underlying problem. Such drastic policies get in the way of legitimate users trying to do their job. Worse, such policies are merely "security theatre" if other ways that information may escape (email, instant messaging, fax, FTP, VoIP, printing and so on) aren't also addressed.
So what is the root of the problem? Consider what we've learned with application security. There is broad industry consensus that shielding and patching after the fact are symptomatic of a faulty development process. For example, we can put up a web application firewall to shield a vulnerable application but we really haven't solved the problem. To properly address application security issues we must change the way we produce (and procure) applications. We have to get back further into the development process when new applications are created.
Let's apply this insight to information security. Banning USB flash drives is symptomatic of a faulty information security lifecycle process. Rather than treat the symptoms, we must get back further into the information lifecycle to understand how, when and where sensitive information will be created or acquired. It's at this point in the information lifecycle that we need to define (and enforce) policies on the information as it moves on to be consumed by systems and users.
Instead of a policy like "nobody is allowed to use a USB flash drive", a control that enforces a policy like "anyone can use a USB flash drive, but don't allow sensitive data to be copied to a USB drive" makes more sense. Better, how about a control that enforces a policy like "don't allow sensitive data to be copied to a USB drive unless the data (or the drive itself) is encrypted".
The problem is, we don't really have a good handle on what data is sensitive, how it is used, how if moves around, what systems and users rely on it and how and where it is stored. That's the real problem DLP projects need to tackle.
Instead, we treat the symptoms… like banning USB flash drives.

Thoughts on Security Thought for Thursday: With DLP, Don't Just Treat the Symptoms, Address the Cause
I know that I'll be flaged as biased since I'm working for a WAF vendor, yet…
While a Web Application Firewall does not obliterate the root cause of a vulnerability in an application it does deny its exploit. Most times it does that before the organization is even aware of the vulnerability, and it does that in an effective (effort wise) manner.
Yes, we should always improve on our software production process.! Would that make software bugs in production environments disappear? No!
A web application firewall is the kind of tool that allows you to compensate for software bugs related to security, regardless of the quality of your software production process. That's why it should be considered as a strategic tool for organizations who want to maintain an efficient and effective software production process and at the same time maintain the security of their applications and servers.

Gareth McAuley salvaged a point for West Bromwich Albion with a dramatic 94th-minute equaliser against West Ham United at the London Stadium. The Baggies had broken the deadlock in the early stages through Nacer Chadli, before second-half strikes from Sofiane Feghouli and Manuel Lanzini looked to have won it for the hosts. There was a late twist in the tale, however, as McAuley was on hand to convert Jonny Evans' header and ensure the points were shared from an entertaining clash. The upshot is that the Hammers drop to 10th in the Premier League, while West Brom remain in eighth spot. Here are three things we learnt from this 2-2 draw.
Late goals are costing the Hammers precious points
West Ham fans must have thought they were going to record their fourth victory in five Premier League games when Lanzini fired home on 86 minutes. However, a worrying trend reared its ugly head once again with 94 minutes on the clock, as the Hammers conceded for the fourth occasion in injury time this season. Only Bournemouth have conceded more in stoppage time. With 32 points to their name, West Ham are in the relative comfort of mid-table and have certainly recovered well from their early-season woes. But how much better off would they be if they could see matches out? It is certainly becoming a source of frustration for manager Slaven Bilic, whose side would have closed to within two points of West Brom had they held out for the three points. He will see this match as another opportunity missed to improve their standing.

Today I am linking up with WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced and my WIP (work in progress) is actually a Freshly Pieced pattern. I am working on the new Diamond Tread pattern that was just released.
My plan when I started out was to sew this as a "Quilt of Valour" for a Canadian soldier. So we'll see how it goes. This is why I have chosen all red and white fabrics.
I am currently at the stage of trimming down my half-square triangles.
I'm even using read and white pins! :)
