A sermon for Advent 3 on Luke 1:26-38
- To listen to the message, click play:
My friend Father Kilian McDonnell turned 95 a few months ago. Kilian is a monk of St John's Abbey in Collegeville, Minnesota, and has been a member of that community since 1945. Do the math: seventy-one years. Over many of those years he distinguished himself as a theologian, publishing several books on the theology of the Holy Spirit. For years he represented the Roman Catholic Church in its dialogues with the Pentecostal churches, and served as a resource to the Catholic charismatic movement. At the age of seventy-five he decided he wanted to write poetry, and since then he has authored five collections, most recently Aggressive Mercy, published in 2014. When I was in Collegeville last month, Kilian told me that he was quite sure that Aggressive Mercy was his last book, but there was no hint of regret in his saying that. In fact on a previous visit he had told me that he had not single regret in his life, and that for all of the opportunities he'd had as a theologian, ecumenical partner, teacher, and poet, the greatest joy of his life was that he got to pray the scriptures with his community four times a day in the Abbey church.
That's a lot of prayer and a lot of scripture. It has both anchored him deeply and expanded his imagination and engagement with the biblical stories. This evening as I turn to the story of the Annunciation, Kilian will, in a sense, be preaching with me through a poem based on this Gospel text called "In the Kitchen."
Giotto has it wrong.
I was not kneeling
on my satin cushion
quietly at prayer,
head slightly bent.
Painters always
skew the scene,
as though my life
were wrapped in silks,
in temple smells.
You know the sort of painting Kilian is pointing to. Medieval and Renaissance art, in which Mary seems so devout, so at peace, so receptive. The setting, her clothing, the furniture, and her bearing together suggest a European noblewoman at prayer. Certainly not a Middle Eastern peasant girl, betrothed but yet married. Perhaps fourteen or fifteen years old, committed to be wed to this man Joseph, but still living with her parents in Nazareth, awaiting the day when Joseph will have built up enough of a business and saved enough money for their marriage to be sealed.
Actually I had just
come back from the well.
Placing the pitcher on the table
I bumped against the edge,
spilling water on the floor.
That's closer to the life a young Galilean woman would have been living; fetching water from the well for the family. Certainly far more familiar with the well, the kitchen, the cooking fire, than with prayer chapels and silk cushions.
As I bent to wipe
it with a rag,
there was a light
against the kitchen wall
as though someone had opened
the door to the sun.
Rag in hand,
hair across my face,
I turned to see
who was entering,
unannounced, uninvited.
All I saw
was light, white
against the timbers.
You know the angels in those paintings. They are handsome figures, with long robes, flowing hair—never bearded—and aside from the wings they appear as stately, almost human figures. As noble in look as the idealized Mary. There are no such angels in the Bible, of course. In the Bible angels can appear in plain human form, unrecognizable as God's messengers until the penny drops, as it did for Abraham and Sarah by the oaks of Mamre. Or they are described in terms that suggest fierceness and power: three sets of wings, eyes all around, "face was like the sun, legs like pillars of fire" as John the Divine describes in his strange vision in Revelation. (Rev. 10.1) "Face like the sun." This is what Kilian is working with in his poem, as he writes,
All I saw
was light, white
against the timbers.
I hear a voice.
Greetings were given:
the Lord was with me,
I was elected,
I will conceive the Son
of God by the Holy Spirit.
My son will reign forever.
What could she possibly make of such words? "I stood afraid," is how Kilian continues his poem. And of course she did. In Luke's telling, the angel says to her "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God." Do not be afraid; words that angels need to speak in these texts; words Jim Croegart calls "that important line of angels" in his song, "The Angel Gabriel—words spoken to Zechariah, to Mary, to Joseph, and later to the shepherds in the fields, because their angelic appearance is frightening, their words stunning, impossible, overwhelming.
I stood afraid.
Someone closed the door.
I dropped the rag.
That's where Kilian ends his poem. In the kitchen, rag lying on the floor, Mary stunned by what has just happened.
Now of course Luke says that after the Gabriel had spoken to her, Mary replied with words of consent. "Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word." That is crucial to the biblical story, because it says among things that a fifteen year old girl's agreement matters. As Luke sees it, Mary's words "let it be with me according to your word" are a hinge on which the world turns. And isn't that so very typical of God? To call on the last and the least and the unlikely and the little ones to carry the greatest of work and to answer the most important of callings; again and again that is God's way. Father Kilian knows this, and he knows it well. Praying the scriptures day by day by day; singing the Magnificat—Mary's song—every night at Vespers day after day, year after year. He knows.
But it doesn't make it any less frightening, and Kilian knows that too. Which is why, in his poetic picture, the rag simply drops to the floor. Which is why we, when we stand in the face of some challenge, some calling, some unsettling insight, some holy moment, we find that our jaws can simply drop. But as surely as the Mary of Kilian's poem bent to pick up that rag and to begin to live this thing into which she has been called, we can't stand motionless and drop-jawed in the face of what calls or pushes or uproots or unsettles us about this business of God. We need to pick up the rag, and set about living into this new thing. And you know, most often that starts not in stately church buildings or on mountaintops, but in the homely and ordinary places. In the kitchen.
*The poem "In the Kitchen" is from Kilian McDonnell's book Aggressive Mercy, published by St Johns University Press, 2014.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 209168
cpufreq-applet not displaying text on both instances when two are running to mointor a dual-core system
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:07:34 EST
Description of problem:
cpufreq-applet is not displaying text on both instances when there are two
instances of the applet running to mointor a dual-core system.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-applets-220.127.116.11-3.fc6 (RHEL5 Beta)
gnome-applets-188.8.131.52-7.fc6 (Rawhide from 3-Oct-2006)
How reproducible:
Every time
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add cpufreq-applet to panel
2. Add second instance of cpufreq-applet to panel (for 2nd core)
Actual results:
First instance shows graphic and text speed indicators. Second indicator only
shows graphics. Graphics still missing when preferences changed to monitor core
1 instead of core 0 on second instance of the applet.
Expected results:
Graphics and text displayed for both instances of cpufreq-applet when appearance
set to "Graphic and text"
Additional info:
Changing the type from "Graphic and text" to something else and back again will
temporarily cause the text to be displayed along with the graphics, but the
problem will reoccur when the user logs out and back in.
Also, the tooltips says "CPU 0" regardless of the monitoring preference.
testing a fix now.
pm-ack ?
without this fix, the cpufreq applet does not really work on multprocessor machines.
A package has been built which should help the problem described in
this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution
of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does
not work for you.

An intruder cut the copper lines of an air conditioning unit and freezer at Good Shepherd Baptist Church in Augusta last week, but never made off with the goods.
Between Jan. 13 and 15, someone cut the lines to the church's walk-in freezer and air conditioning unit, according to a Richmond County Sheriff's Office incident report.
Thieves normally steal the valuable copper tubing from air conditioners to sell as scrap metal. In this case however, the copper was left behind. A church security worker reported no other damage.

When Davis began designing his first set group townhomes, he considered a variety of materials. He then discovered that corrugated metal is not only appealing from a design aspect but practical for both construction and maintenance as well.
Urban Lofts Townhomes were originally constructed with Galvalume™, which is the registered trade name for a patented sheet-metal product having a coating of corrosion-resistant aluminum-zinc alloy applied with a continuous hot-dipping process.
Galvalume's coating of aluminum and zinc combines long-term corrosion resistance, high-temperature oxidation resistance, and heat reflectivity. The metal sheet is especially good for use on air-conditioned structures. And Galvalume has excellent paint adhesion, with a wide variety of colors and finishes available. Properly installed, Galvalume requires no special maintenance and reduces the hazard of fire.
Currently Urban Lofts Townhomes has transitioned into Stucco and HardiPlank exteriors for their newest luxury communities. Hardiplank is a building material that known for its durability, attractiveness and ease of maintenance . It is made of a combination of fiber cement, sand, cellulose fiber of very high density and hence, this material is water and termite resistant and is a popular choice for architects. Urban Lofts Townhomes blends these two materials to produce a high design blend of cutting edge aesthetics and practicality for their home exteriors.
Wide-Open Spaces
Trusses are what make possible the high ceilings that are an integral part of loft-style construction. A truss is a framework of structural members forming a light, strong, rigid frame that is capable of supporting relatively long, clear spans. With a truss there can be greater flexibility within the building itself, as intermediate columns are not usually necessary. Additionally, trusses have strong resistance to high winds.
Larry S. Davis & Associates contracts top structural engineers to construct the best possible foundations. Each site is inspected by a geotechnical engineer, and multiple twenty-foot-deep borings are taken in the foundation pad location. Structural engineers use the design parameters from the lab analysis and recommendations from the soils engineer to design the post tension foundations that best suit the soil conditions.
These custom testing procedures ensure that each of our customers receives the peace of mind that comes with knowing that the most current engineering technology has been used to design their foundation.
Top-Quality Insulation
Larry S. Davis uses only the highest R-value insulation available. The quality insulation also acts as a sound barrier, giving each townhome privacy within the security of a community. He is continually amazed that other developers, even those building million-dollar-plus townhomes, try to save a few dollars by using inferior construction materials.

I'll just get straight to the point.
I've created team "Like A Boss" for the Halton's Extreme Race and Obstacle Scramble (H.E.R.O.S.). It's a 5k obstacle course race that takes place on Saturday, July 19th (one week after my triathlon!) and the money raised goes towards cancer research, improving cancer treatments, preventing cancer and saving lives–and so much more.
That's right. I want you to sign up for team Like A Boss and run the obstacle course with me because life is way more fun when you do things together.
But Sharon, why is it called Like A Boss?
I'm so glad you asked. It's called Like A Boss because you're going to:
Run up hills, like a boss.
Splash through water, like a boss.
Take on obstacles, like a boss.
Support your teammates, like a boss.
Cross the finish line, like a boss.
And at the end of the race you'll go home knowing you conquered obstacles you didn't think possible while raising money to help people who are overcoming obstacles harder than any wall you'll have to climb at the H.E.R.O.S.
So you may have a few questions, like: Do I need to be fit to race Like a Boss?
The answer is, you shouldn't be laying around on a couch for the next six months and then think you can run it. Bad things will happen if you do that, so you should be moderately fit. BUT I will let you know that my motto is "No one gets left behind." If you're having trouble with an obstacle, I'm not going to leave you hanging (and you can take that quite literally because I think there are some walls we have to climb).
Even if you don't join team Like A Boss, you can always donate and cheer us (dear gawd, I hope it's an us and not just a me) from the sidelines.
Also, you should know I think last year there was beer involved after the race. Just in case you needed that as an incentive.
What are you waiting for? Help fight cancer Like A Boss.

Foxconn officials have confirmed the company's entrance into
the graphics market today during Computex Taipei. As part of its announcement,
Leadtek will simultaneously withdraw from the VGA manufacturing. Foxconn is the
primary original equipment manufacturer partner for Leadtek video cards, and the
withdrawal of Leadtek's manufacturing presence is to reduce the cross-over between the two
companies. For now Foxconn will only announce NVIDIA graphics cards for
the launch.
Leadtek has had a traditionally strong presence
for graphics adaptors in the US and Asia, due primarily with its strong
manufacturing partnerships. Foxconn is one of the primary
reference design manufacturers for NVIDIA, and since the company did
not have a retail channel Leadtek traditionally was one of the first to
market with NVIDIA components. With the Foxconn-Leadtek ties
severed, Leadtek will have to use different component manufacturers for
its NVIDIA cards.
Foxconn is also expected to announce an entrance into the ATI graphics
market. Foxconn insiders do not have a definite date or time when
this will happen, though one product manager described the move to support ATI
graphics as "inevitable."
Several weeks ago, we spotted some of Foxconn's GeForce 7900GX2
QUAD SLI graphics cards. At the CeBIT computer show in Germany,
Foxconn representatives unofficially
announced that the company would enter the graphics card business.

PARIS — The Gulf of Mexico oil disaster is likely to cost far more than cleanup and compensation for lost income once damage to ecosystems is factored in, a top expert said Tuesday.
In an interview coinciding with a UN-sponsored report on the link between business and biodiversity, economist Pavan Sukhdev said the BP debacle underscores the need for a sea change in how the "natural capital" upon which human wellbeing depends is measured and valued.
"The economic invisibility of ecosystem services and biodiversity — clean air, fresh water, healthy oceans, fertile soil, stable climates — must be addressed with urgency," he said from London by phone.
"We have to move into a society where both public and private wealth are recognized as important. But today, how many people understand 'natural capital' as compared to financial capital?"
Part of the problem is not knowing how to quantify things that have long been assumed to exist in unlimited quantities.
"We cannot manage what we do not measure, and we are not measuring either the value of nature's benefits or the costs of their loss," said Sukhdev, lead author of the Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) for Business report.
A growing number of CEOs understand that they can no longer take for granted these "free" services, he said.
But industrialisation and a global population headed toward nine billion people by mid-century have created terrible strains.
Each year, the world's 3,000 largest companies are causing 2.2 trillion dollars (1.75 trillion euros) worth of environmental damage, said Sukhdev, citing a soon-to-published companion report prepared by Britain-based consultancy TruCost.
"It is not the individual CEOs or the companies that are to blame. They are following the path that was created for them, where corporations can externalise all these costs to society," he said.
The BP oil spill, which has been dumping an estimated 60,000 barrels of crude into the Gulf of Mexico every day, has emerged as a case study of how not to protect nature's precious assets.
Had government required a "holistic economic assessment" before drilling was allowed, the potential liability might have pushed BP to take more stringent safety measures, he argued.
As things stand, "we only think about them after there is a problem, and then scurry about and chase our tails for a bit," said Sukhdev, pointing to the aftermath of the Valdez Exxon, the supertanker that fouled Alaska's once pristine Prince William Sound with some 11 million gallons of oil.
The BP gusher has been spewing an equivalent amount every four or five days since April 20, according to a US government estimate.
Putting a price tag on the value of affected ecosystems also changes the estimate of losses.
BP has put forward a figure of 20 billion dollars for cleanup and compensation.
"But what about the cost to the economy of lost utility — eco-tourism loss, fisheries stocks that represent future losses to industry, the inability to fish in the area," Sukhdev said.
The oil could also kill hundreds of square kilometres of coastal mangrove forests that are nurseries for commercial marine species and a bulkhead against hurricane damage.
Even thousands of yacht owners could have a legitimate claim.
"People have invested in yatchs, including a license fee to moor it, people to caretake it. When the time comes to use or rent it, they can't — that's lost utility. Is anyone putting a number on that?"
The crisis of collapsing ecosystems will only be addressed when the value of nature's services are fully reflected in political and business decision making, Sukhdev said.
"We are about half way there in terms of developing the toolkit. For people understanding that the toolkit exists and should be used, we are at three-to-five on a scale of 10," he said.
"As for actual implementation — between zero and two."
The TEEB report, supported by the UN Environment Programme, was launched by the European Commission in 2007 after G8 and major emerging economies called for a global study on the economics of biodiversity.
The full study will be unveiled later this year at the Convention on Biodiversity in Nagoya, Japan.

When you're looking to get away from your busy everyday life and enjoy the luxuries of home away from home, a bed and breakfast may be just the right place to stay. Bed and breakfasts are usually run with a more personalized approach to lodging as they are owned by private individuals who often live on or near the premises- making them quainter and more intimate than most hotels. Many bed and breakfasts are converted homes of historical significance, adding to their charm and intrigue. If you're looking for the perfect bed and breakfast for your next venture, below are some questions you should consider before booking. Having answers to these questions will enable you to choose the best B&B for you and your loved ones, make the most of your stay, and avoid uncomfortable or frustrating situations that could have been avoided with more information ahead of time. Happy travels!
• What kind of payment do they accept? Some bed and breakfasts will accept credit cards to reserve your room online, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll accept one for the room bill. If they do take credit cards, check what kinds. Make sure you have cash if required to avoid the hassle of having to find an ATM unexpectedly.
• Are there lower rates than those listed online? Some B&Bs will give you a discount for booking in advance online. Others will give you a discount for asking about lower rates if you pay the bill in cash. Call the inn directly to get a straight answer.
• Do they offer discounted tickets to local attractions? Sometimes, inns have worked out special deals with popular attractions in the area for their guests. Before purchasing tickets to your must-see destinations, see if you can save a few dollars by buying them from where you're staying.
• Is the B&B someone's home where they simply rent out rooms, or is it a separate business that offers some privacy? Depending on what you're looking for in a getaway, the amount of privacy and space can be important factors in how comfortable and satisfied you are with your stay.
• Is the inn located near a busy street, highway, or intersection? If you're a light sleeper, this can be a huge factor in how much shut eye you get. Ask if they have rooms available on the opposite side of the house that may be quieter.
• Is the B&B pet-friendly? Some bed and breakfasts allow guests to bring small pets. The rules for this vary significantly from place to place- but if you or someone you'll be staying with has allergies, it's always better to avoid an unpleasant situation.
• Are rooms located on different floors? If you're booking multiple rooms, you may want to ask for adjoining rooms, or adjacent to one another to avoid the hassle of running up and down the stairs sharing toiletries or figuring out plans. If you physically have trouble going up the stairs, ask for a room located on the first or second floor.
• What size and type of beds do they have? Looking at pictures online does not always give you a good indication of the real size. If you're staying with multiple people, it's important that everyone has somewhere comfortable to sleep.
• Does the B&B offer laundry services? If so, how much do they cost and how does it work? Where is the closest laundry mat? When staying somewhere for more than a night or two, you may have clothes you'd like to wash. It may be worth it to you to use the bed and breakfast's services to avoid wasting precious time doing laundry yourself when you could be relaxing or sightseeing.
• Do they have hair dryers? Are they free, or do they have to be rented out? Ladies, this can save room in your suitcase and prevent a bad hair day in those pictures you'll want to look back on.
• Do the rooms all have television with cable? If you enjoy having a TV for late-night viewing, it can be disappointing to find out they don't have the entertainment options you wanted. Ask ahead to avoid missing an important game or show you love.
• Does the B&B have complementary internet? Do they have Wi-Fi in any of the rooms? If you need to check in on business matters while you're away, having internet access can be a huge factor to consider when choosing the right accommodations. If they offer it for a charge, find out how much it is, and ask if there are any cyber cafes located nearby.
• Is the bed and breakfast air conditioned? Do they provide fans during warmer months? If the answer is no, you may want to pass unless you're okay with the possibility of hot nights and minimal air circulation.
• Does the inn have a communal kitchen? Some B&Bs will allow you to make your own meals as long as you provide the ingredients. In such cases, it is also good to ask where the closest grocery store is located.
• What time is check-in? Does it matter if I am running late? Many bed and breakfast desk receptionists will leave for dinner or close the office at a certain time for the night. It would be terrible to show up half an hour late only to find you're out of luck because no one is there to open the door.
• What is the latest I can return to the room at night? Some bed and breakfasts do not want you to come in after a certain time because they lock the doors for security.
• Does the B&B offer meal options? If so, are reservations required? Some B&Bs have delicious restaurants you can eat at for a very reasonable price.
• What time is it served, and what does it include? Most bed and breakfasts serve breakfast for an hour or two and ask you to let them know when you plan on eating due to limited dining space. If you have dietary restrictions, be sure to notify them in advance to ensure it is not a problem.
• Is vehicle transportation required to go into town? How much does taxi fare run? Is there public transportation nearby? Staying at a pricier inn downtown may be most cost-effective in the long run when factoring in the cost of taxi rides or gas.
• If the B&B is within walking distance, is there a well-lit sidewalk to use? For safety reasons, it's important to make sure that there will be street lamps if you'll be returning in the dark.
• Is parking provided on-site? Are there any fees or potential problems to be aware of? Some B&Bs provide parking for a daily rate, while others allow you to park for free. Additionally, some have free parking on the street during certain hours, but not moving it by a certain time means you'll end up with a ticket.

The following post is an excerpt from The Tennis Parent's Bible. I have just updated my web site and I will be re-posting the blogs that have been deleted. Thanks for visiting, Frank
It's Friday, the day before a local junior event, John the young hitting pro carefully feeds balls waist level, in the perfect strike zone for your little Nathan. Nathan doesn't have to move and hits like a champ. On the way home, Nate says, "Man, I'm on fire! Tennis is easy! Forget the open tourney, I'm going pro!"
Saturday morning rolls around and little Nate's opponent is playing "keep away" from him. He's wisely keeping balls above Nathans shoulders out of his primary strike zone. Nathan goes down in flames. After the match Nate says, "I don't get it, I was famous yesterday." Practicing in the manner in which you are expected to perform is a battle cry heard at my workshops daily. There is a totally different set of skills that provide "competitive" confidence or confidence under stress versus simply hitting. It is important to understand that the essence of a champion doesn't simply lie in their strokes but in their head and heart. The ability to stay comfortable when things get uncomfortable is undeniably a skill. Mastering their emotions may be just the ingredient your child requires to break through to a higher level. In typical private lessons, clinics and academies around the world the primary focus is on stroke mechanics. The attention is placed on bending your knees, change your grip, toss higher and run faster. No question, developing sound fundamentals is a critical element of success. However to improve your child's ability to perform under stress, it is in their best interest to switch from 100 percent stroke repetition practice to the following five practice solutions:
Practice Solutions:
- Stop hitting without accountability
Hitting without accountability is like spending money with an unlimited bank account. Juniors perceive they hit better in practice because they are not aware of the sheer number of mistakes they are actually making. They remember the 10 screaming winners they hit, but forget about the 50 unforced errors they committed in the same hour.
- Change the focus in practice sessions
Concentrate on skill sets such as shot selection, patterns, adapting and problem solving, spotting the opponents tendencies, tactical changes and between point rituals
- Turn off the fear of failure
Top players lose almost every week. Take for example one of the ATP stars I worked with as a teen, Sam Querrey. He has been on tour full time for five years. He is well adjusted, rich and famous and yet he understands that he is not going to win every tournament – which means he's ok with the fact that he will most likely lose almost every week.
- Replace some of the hours spent in clinics with actual matches!
Do you want your child to learn how to play through nervousness and manage their mistakes? Do you want them to get better at closing out those 5-3 leads? Do you want them to actually beat that moonball pusher in the third set?
Well, they have to overcome these issues several times in dress rehearsal first before you can expect them to win under pressure. Playing great under stress is a learned behavior. Practicing under simulated stress conditions is the solution.
FUN FACT: Most junior players spend hours upon hours hitting in academies and zero hours a week in full practice matches. They've become solid ball strikers but weak competitors.
The challenge is to get comfortable being uncomfortable. Rehearse doing what you're scared of doing. Take the tougher road less traveled. One of my favorite sayings is "If you want to get ahead of the pack, you can't hang in the pack." This goes for parents as well. Obviously dropping your child off at the group lesson then going shopping for shoes is way easier than finding practice matches, charting and /or paying a college hitter to play sets. But ask yourself, is taking the convenient way out keeping your child from winning national titles?
Thanks, Frank

Although the Fed's December monetary policy statement made no mention of the effect of Trump's policies on the country's economic prospects, many experts have said that Trump's plans for massive tax cuts and huge infrastructure investment could spur the economic recovery.
When asked whether the president-elect's proposal influenced the projections of three more rate hikes in 2017, as opposed to previous indications of just two, Fed Chair Janet Yellen said there was some discussion in that respect.
"Some of the participants but not all of the participants did incorporate some assumptions of the change in fiscal policy into their projections," Yellen said at her quarterly news conference." That may have been a factor that was one of several that occasioned these shifts."
Throughout his campaign, Trump said the Fed was supporting a "very false economy" by driving asset prices to what he described as unsustainable heights. Trump also criticized Yellen for not raising interest rates fast enough. At the same time, he argued that the Fed has little power to increase economic activity beyond Wall Street. This was another way of saying the Fed is encouraging excessive speculation.
On the matter of raising interest rates, Trump appears to have been spot on. Investors had expected a rate hike earlier in the year, but each time the central bankers found a reason not to raise rates including concerns about a slowdown in the Chinese economy, Brexit and the unpredictable U.S. presidential election.
During the campaign, it may have looked as if Trump and the Fed were light years apart, however, based on my assessment of the events on December 14, it looks as if Trump and Yellen have more in common than previously thought.
There is evidence that Yellen and other Fed officials have been in favor of fiscal stimulus for some time, and now it seems likely they will greet faster growth with relief.
In December, James Bullard, president of the St. Louis Fed, told reporters that Trumps victory, "… breaks gridlock in Washington, which has been a key complaint of how the economy operated." Charles Evans, President of the Chicago Fed, said the prospect of increased infrastructure spending was "good news."
Shortly after the election, I thought there would be a tremendous clash between Trump and Yellen and the Fed, but I have changed my opinion about the situation. I now feel that in 2017 we'll see a president that will focus on fiscal policy while leaving the Fed to its devices.
Prior to Trump's election, there was too much focus on the direction of monetary policy. In my opinion, this focus is going to shift. Trump is going to try to power the economy through growth-oriented structural reforms including reforms of taxes, trade, regulatory policy and energy policy, while the Fed is going to try to steer the economy through monetary policy and interest rate hikes.
If everything goes as plans, Trump will maintain his independence and so will the Fed, and that seems to have been the issue all along.

5 Ways To Treat Hyperthyroidism Naturally
Here's How To Turn Toasted Marshmallows Into Shot Glasses
Homemade Hazelnut Spread - World Nutella Day
How to Do Reflexology At Home to Treat Common Ailments
Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland becomes overactive, producing too much T4 and T3 hormones where hypothyroidism is too little.
The most common type of hyperthyroidism is the autoimmune disorder Graves disease. In this disorder, the body makes an antibody (a protein produced by the body to protect against a virus or bacteria) called thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI) that causes the thyroid gland to make too much thyroid hormone.
Hyperthyroidism also may be caused by a nodular goiter, which are lump in the thyroid gland that cause the thyroid to produce excessive amounts of thyroid hormones. In addition, inflammation of the thyroid gland, called thyroiditis, results from an attack on the immune system such as a viral infection which may temporarily cause symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
Another issue is people who consume too much iodine (typically from supplements) or who take medications containing iodine may actually cause a goiter and exacerbate thyroid problems.
Hyperthyroidism and Graves Disease Symptoms
The main symptoms associated with hyperthyroidism and Graves disease symptoms include:
Trouble sleeping
Increased sense of smell
Irritable bowel syndrome
Thinning hair
Irregular heartbeat
Weight changes
Graves Disease Causes
There are several contributing factors to hyperthyroidism but the main causes include:
Leaky gut syndrome
Hormonal imbalances
Food allergies
Here are the best ways to treat hyperthyroidism naturally.
Foods for Hyperthyroidism Diet
When it comes to seeing improvements in thyroid function the best place to start is by improving your diet with these healing foods:
Green juices – Fresh green juices from nutrient dense vegetables such as kale, spinach and spirulina can help provide vital nutrients.
Whole foods – Processed foods should be avoided, so aim for fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins.
Anti-inflammatory herbs – Many herbs such as basil, rosemary, and oregano can be anti-inflammatory and help improve thyroid function.
Ginger – Is an anti-inflammatory herb that can help boost immune function.
Bone Broth – Bone broth supports detoxification and aids in healing of leaky gut issues that can make hyperthyroidism worse.
Foods to Avoid
Gluten – A gluten-free diet is beneficial for people with thyroid issues.
Conventional Dairy – People with thyroid problems can also benefit from a A1 casein free diet.
Artificial flavorings or dyes – These can influence thyroid function, therefore it is best to avoid them.
Sugar – Suppresses immune function and contributes to autoimmune disease.
Packaged foods – Can contain GMO foods that have been linked to autoimmune conditions.
Top 5 Ways to Treat Hyperthyroidism Naturally
Here are the top hyperthyroid remedies and natural cures for fast improvements:
#1 Bugleweed (2 mL 3x daily)
Contains acids that can help prevent thyroid damage.
#2 L-carnitine (1000 mg 2-4x daily)
Can help reduce hypothyroid symptoms.
#3 Lemon balm (2 mL 3x daily)
Will inhibit antibodies from binding to the thyroid gland.
#4 B-complex (50 mg 2x daily)
Can help reduce symptoms of hypothyroidism.
#5 Plant sterols
Helps balance the immune system, follow directions on the bottle.
Essential Oils for Hyperthyroidism
Certain essential oils like frankincense and myrrh reduce stress on the body and can improve thyroid function. Put 2 drops of frankincense oil daily on the roof of the mouth and apply 2-3 drops Myrrh oil directly to the thyroid area 2x daily.

I dont see where this is at... I dont see for it either of you guys, whats the specifics on it?
I dont really like the idea either... all it takes is one angry person to do some harm.
Re: Infraction
Was sweatin there for a minute.
So it's for upper or Mods then, maybe.
Perhaps its elite members and up or people with higher rep or posts or something.
I will look around and see if I can do it to anyone (I am not gonna actually take any rep away )
oooo this is kinda cool.
wait now I'm confused, I can see it on you Brad, thats the first Elite member where I can?? Whats going on? EP?
Can u see it on me?
I can see it on everyone...
Does anyone know why i can't make a new thread?
I've been trying and it keeps telling me my message is too short, it must be at least 1 character. My text is a paragraph!
I had that happen to me too, something is broke with the enhanced WYSIWIG editor. When I changed to plain text it worked fine.
Yeah my messages are too short too
Infractions will prob be disabled until I learn what is going on with them!
The Infraction system should only be viewable by admins and moderators.
Information: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1137312&postcount=7
Well, I can see it on other members but it does not appear on mods or admin, so maybe the code is reversed?
It isn't visible on mods and admin as it's not possible to rep them with it. Just as it's not possible to ban them.
Weird stuff, hopefully all these bugs get fixed.
Not really a bug is just default setup. I don't have time to check it out at the moment, but will come back to it.
I suspect its like the IpB warning system?


text: I love banana nut anything. I actually just made banana nut muffins a few weeks ago and they were delectable. Thanks, Martha Stewart. One of my favorite teas from DAVIDsTEA is their Banana Nut Bread fruit infusion. But, because it is an infusion, its caffeine free. This is fine for evenings, but I need caffeine during the day. When I saw that A Quarter to Tea had a caffeinated banana nut flavored black tea, I was so excited and ordered a few samples right away. Every tea I have tried from this company thus far has been a complete dream. Read More

Joanne Kolesarwrote a review of Sorel Slimshortie Boot - Women's on March 17, 2016
Great boots, hard to get on!
Familiarity: I've used it several times
Fit: True to size
Kinda shocked that I'm the only one who's said this, but I had a really hard time getting my feet into the boots initially. Maybe it's because I have wide feet?? They fit perfect once they're on and I found them pretty true to size but maybe a half size big. Reading the reviews, I ordered a 7.5 rather than an 8, and they fit great. Super cute boots. I'm a sorel addict, so comfortable!

The Midsummer Classic. Just such an eloquent sounding event. If you watched last night's game, I'd be surprised if you're not still sleeping. Ok fine, it wasn't that bad, but I was texting friends that if Mariano Rivera got the save, the All-Star Game is scripted. And what do you know he pitches in a 3-0 game in the… 8th inning? Oh c'mon Jim Leyland and your "I wanted to be sure he pitched." Have him be the AL starter then! Sheesh. Or be the first replacement pitcher in so he can get the win.
Another thing spawned on us while bantering during the game, and that was there needs to be more fantasy evens surrounding the All-Star events. Our ideas were one-time immediate payouts from our long-time dynasty league dues for the team with the HR Derby winner, and the winner of the most points in either a points league calculation or a DraftKings calculation from their players in the All-Star game. We think we're on to something for next year.Please, blog, may I have some more?

The business expansion now is about extending the locations of working, reaching out to multiple sectors and reaping benefits through varied means. Controlling and coordinating the entire business operations by making a physical presence is not something possible or practical. Not all sites of business are capable of physical monitoring and even if you have only a single site, keeping track of the working of every section become a tedious task, but necessary. Advances in science and technology have answered all these aspects of carrying out business.
An example of how remote access transformed a traditional sector
Agriculture forms the backbone of the economy of many countries around the globe. Due to time-intensive nature and limited returns, it has never been considered as a business, but as a necessary yet unrewarding occupation. However, situations are not the same anymore. There are numerous business establishments and startups focusing on agriculture. Farming typically involves large geographical expanse of activity taking lots of time and labor compared to other sectors. Not only the internal factors, but the sustenance of an agricultural business depends heavily on various environmental factors.
Technology has found a single solution covering all such issues in the science of remote monitoring. Take the example of weather monitoring. Controlling this natural force is not under the control of humans, but observing, predicting and taking precautionary measures on time can result in wonders. Farming firms get timely assistance from reliable services of weather monitoring and agri-risk solutions from dedicated companies, which help to plan their business and reduce prospective losses due to bad weather.
There are floating sensors which monitor various parameters important for farming and allow the officials to get the data in their systems. Farmers now increasingly use automated equipment like feeders, sprayers, and aerators which can be controlled by remote access.
Farms have become smarter
Farming information can be stored and accessed on cloud-storage platforms integrated with mobile apps and food companies are able to keep track of the activities and progress on-site via remote communication.
As the instantaneously growing population is soaring food demand, agri-businesses enabled with remote access are soaring to fill the gap with healthier and smarter supply.

Atlantikós Ratings and Reviews
We went for the white truffle menu. It s was a good value, for white truffles. The pasta white truffle dish was over whelmed by the mushrooms in the dish. It would have been much better with a simple sauce which emphasized the truffles. The standard diner menu looked interesting and worth a second visit. The service and ambience were great. We're going back.
We were highly impressed and delighted with the food - it's quality, freshness, presentation, etc., were all first class. We were "cheaping out" by choosing the Miami Spice menu, otherwise the normal pricing would have discouraged us from eating here. Most menu entrees are in the $50-70 range, and a small bottle of coke and a bottle of club soda were $6.00 each. That said, we were entirely enchanted with the wonderful blends of tastes and colors, and each dish we tried, from the appetizer to the dessert, was exceptional. The service was also very good, attentive and friendly. We'll be back next year if they participate in Miami Spice again!
The dining room is used for breakfast, lunch and dinner. As such it is a bit casual for an expensive evening meal.
The food, whoever, is spectacular and priced accordingly.
We were there Labor Day weekend, and the restaurant was full on Saturday night and quite noisy.
The service was excellent, and the waiter and the manager (who knew we were there to celebrate our Anniversary) were very solicitous.
A lovely experience.
We chosen only greek-styled food and it was as delicious as it usually is in Greece. Greek salad had kalamata olives, big enough portion, crunchy and fresh vegetables; lamb kebab was as goog as I used to eat in Greece👍🏻. Frosen greek yougurt with lime juice for desert... Ummm it is so simple but soooo yami!!! And of course the atmosphere and interior are very cosy and you really feel like your are on a ship and you see the bottom of the sea through absolutely clear water! Fantastic!
Overall the food was okay, we ordered just appetizers to try and share many different dishes. The waiter was very nice but a bit challenged when understanding English. A couple of our favorites were the seasoned spring potatoes, stuffed zucchini blossoms and the octopus. The baklava we ordered for dessert was dry but the ice cream on the side was good. Our biggest problem with this restaurant was the noise and unruly children. Since it's a hotel there were lots of guests in shorts and flip flops with young (screaming) kids jumping around, we found it hard to talk most of the night, we probably won't go back.
Customer Beware! When the server greeted us after being seated, he poured water out of a bottle and filled the glasses . He had not asked if we were interested in paying for water and during the meal when no one offered to refill the glasses, I asked for a refill for the table to find out that the bottle of water used was being billed. I thought that was really sneaky. A restaurant is about choices and this was a gouge not a choice. We protested and the charge was eliminated from the bill. Food was okay, fresh but service was very slow.
If you want some wonderful Mediterranean style food in a pleasant and attractive setting with service commensurate with the location, try Milo's on South Beach. Do not try Atlantikos,
you will be wasting your time and money. Both of which are precious.
We should have known something was amiss when it took twelve minutes for a server to acknowledge that we were even sitting at the table. Then another six minutes just to get our water glasses filled. We could understand if the restaurant was packed with patrons but there were more empty tables than full tables.
At the waiter's suggestion we tried lamb meatballs which had good flavor but came out room temperature. We then tried two additional appetizers which were good but the entrees came out before we were half way through the appetizers. When we were ready for the entrees it was quite obvious from the temperature and the texture that they had been kept warm in an oven instead of re-fired when we were ready for them. One of us decided to take their entree home instead of eating it there as wanted to try desert. When the time came to leave we waited and waited for the "to go" bag. The server looked at us perplexed when we asked where the entree was that had not been eaten. After about five minutes he explained that it was thrown away as he thought we did not like it. After about ten more minutes they brought another entree to go which was half the size as the original entree.
For a restaurant in such a fine hotel it is hard to understand how they can continue to operate a "fine dining restaurant" that actually isn't. We are usually willing to give places a second chance, but not in this case when there are so many other fine restaurants around.
Everything was deliciously prepared and beautifully presented. The waitstaff and maitre D were informative, attentive and caring.
The restaurant is is nicely decorated and you can see that thought was put into every detail.
We look forward to returning.
I went to celebrate my mother's birthday on Opa Night (Thursday). The live music & tasting menu were absolutely perfect. The $45 price was much less than what you would expect for the 6 courses of exceptional Greek food plus wine/beer. The staff were very attentive to my toddler as well as the baby and made sure we were well taken care of. I'll definitely be back on another Opa Thursday.
We were celebrating our engagement which happened in Santorini, Greece, so only fitting to choose a special Greek restaurant for our night out. Atlantiko's was wonderful, we had many appetizers as we love trying new things. Branzino tartar was super tasty, fresh and seasoned just right with citrus notes. Octopus was crispy on the outside and again perfectly seasoned and fresh. Everything was wonderful! The dips (kalamata spread, olive oil/herbs, tomato bruschetta) brought out complimentary are amazing; The tomatoes I understand are sourced from Santorini and very flavorful – not your usual tomato! We also made a special request to make us the lunch menus Santorini tomato fritters, one of the first dishes we had in Greece. Thank you for doing so! This restaurant is authentic, REAL Greek food, perfectly executed. Not your American-Greek restaurant, while still having something on the menu for those who are not looking for authentic. Live guitarist was wonderful and the ambiance is cozy and romantic with blue lighting and modern Greek ambiance. Superb!

IRS Forms W-2 and 1042-S and International Students
International students are non US resident aliens. Typically they receive some type of income whether it be a stipend, scholarship or fellowship to come to the United States and student. Consequently, they may receive IRS Form 1042-S and/or Form W-2 depending upon their income type.
SSA Form W-2:
The W-2 form is known as a Wage and Tax Statement and while the form itself is created by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) the Social Security Administration (SSA) handles the paper and electronic filing. If you are employed in the United States, for any period of time, the employer must report your earnings to both you and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
By law, Copy B of the W-2s must be mailed to the recipient no later than January 31. If you haven't received a W-2 by mid February, then you would want to contact your employer because its possible they dont have your correct address on file. The recipient, in this case, the foreign student, will be required to include a copy of each W-2 from with your federal and state income tax forms.
The IRS computer system will match the income paid with what they have received from the employer.
Different kinds of taxes are withheld by employers. The W-2 form has boxes for reporting withholding of Federal Income Tax (Box 2), Social Security (Box 4), Medicare Tax (box 6), State Income Tax (box 18) and local income tax (box 21). Some individuals who received form W-2 will find that all of these boxes have amounts in them, others will find only some or none of the boxes showing tax withheld.
Form 1042-S
Form 1042-S is used to report income paid to a non-resident regardless of whether the payment is taxable. The form has a number of purposes, but mainly used to report scholarship or fellowship income.
It can be used to report wages exempt under a tax treaty, wages earned as an independent contractor, royalties, and scholarship or fellowship grants.
By law, 1042-S forms must be issued by March 15. Many international students receive both form 1042-S and form W-2; some students will receive only form W-2.
The Universities are required to mention only Taxable portions of their scholarships in the Form 1042-S .
Say, a university paid $26,000 as scholarship split as
Tuition and Fees: $15,000
Educational Tools: $5,000
Room and Boarding: $6,000
1042-S contains only $6000, which are considered non educational expenses, and this amount will be taxed. Usually for students the taxes on non educational expenses is 14% and for other Non Resident Aliens its 30%
Hope you found the information helpful!
