The Windsor Report 2004
Foreword By The Most Reverend Dr Robin Eames
Archbishop of Armagh, Chairman of the Lambeth Commission
What do we believe is the will of God for the Anglican Communion?
That question has never been far from the minds of the members of the Lambeth Commission during the exacting work they have undertaken in the past year.
Since the 1970s controversies over issues of human sexuality have become increasingly divisive and destructive throughout Christendom. Within the Anglican Communion the intensity of debate on these issues at successive Lambeth Conferences has demonstrated the reality of these divisions.
The decision by the 74th General Convention of the Episcopal Church (USA) to give consent to the election of bishop Gene Robinson to the Diocese of New Hampshire, the authorising by a diocese of the Anglican Church of Canada of a public Rite of Blessing for same sex unions and the involvement in other provinces by bishops without the consent or approval of the incumbent bishop to perform episcopal functions have uncovered major divisions throughout the Anglican Communion. There has been talk of crisis, schism and realignment. Voices and declarations have portrayed a Communion in crisis.
Those divisions have been obvious at several levels of Anglican life: between provinces, between dioceses and between individual Anglican clergy and laity. The popular identification of 'conservatives' and 'liberals', and 'the west' as opposed to 'the global south', has become an over-simplification - divisions of opinion have also become clear within provinces, dioceses and parishes. Various statements and decisions at different levels of leadership and membership of the Church have illustrated the depth of reaction. Among other Christian traditions, reactions to the problems within Anglicanism have underlined the serious concerns on these issues worldwide. Comparison has been made with the controversies on women's ordination years ago. But the current strengths of expression of divergent positions are much greater. Questions have been raised about the nature of authority in the Anglican Communion, the inter-relationship of the traditional Instruments of Unity, the ways in which Holy Scripture is interpreted by Anglicans, the priorities of the historic autonomy enshrined in Anglican provinces, and there are also issues of justice. Yet the Lambeth Commission has been aware that consideration within its mandate of any specific aspect of inter-Anglican relationships overlaps and relates to others and has a clear bearing on the sort of Anglican Communion which should enhance the life and worship of our diverse worldwide church family.
What could be termed 'the human face' of these divisions has become clear to the Commission. Within provinces, dioceses and parishes, where individual Anglican Christians have experienced degrees of alienation and exclusion due to differences of opinion between leadership and members, there has been much pain and disillusionment. Further questions have surfaced about episcopal oversight within a diocese where significant groups of Anglicans have become alienated from their bishop. The Commission has seen and heard those emotions.
During its work the Lambeth Commission has recognised the existence within the Anglican Communion of a large constituency of faithful members who are bemused and bewildered by the intensity of the opposing views on issues of sexuality. This group embraces worshippers who yearn for expressions of communion which will provide stability and encouragement for their pilgrimage. At times they have felt their voices eclipsed by the intensity of sounds on opposing sides of the debate.
The Lambeth Commission was established in October 2003 by the Archbishop of Canterbury at the request of the Anglican Primates. The mandate spoke of the problems being experienced as a consequence of the above developments and the need to seek a way forward which would encourage communion within the Anglican Communion. It did not demand judgement by the Commission on sexuality issues. Rather, it requested consideration of ways in which communion and understanding could be enhanced where serious differences threatened the life of a diverse worldwide Church. In short, how does the Anglican Communion address relationships between its component parts in a true spirit of communion?
As the Commission has addressed its mandate the atmosphere in the Anglican Communion has continued to reflect the depth of feeling on these issues. Indeed during the past year events in the Communion have prompted observers to conclude that our work was so overtaken by decisions of some provinces and by words of individual Church leaders that any conclusion reached would be irrelevant. The Anglican Communion appears to such observers to be set on a voyage of self-destruction. I acknowledge the willingness of large sections of the Anglican Communion to permit this Commission space to complete its Report. However, in some instances the request by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Primates for an absence of developments or pronouncements which would make the work of the Lambeth Commission more difficult has been ignored.
The depth of conviction and feeling on all sides of the current issues has on occasions introduced a degree of harshness and a lack of charity which is new to Anglicanism. A process of dissent is not new to the Communion but it has never before been expressed with such force nor in ways which have been so accessible to international scrutiny. Not all the opinions voiced have been expressed in ways which are conducive to dialogue or the encouragement of communion. Modern methods of communication and in particular the internet have become powerful means of expressing and influencing opinion. This fact requires careful note by the Anglican Communion when consideration is given to its traditional decision-making processes.
The 'bonds of affection' so often quoted as a precious attribute of Anglican Communion life, as well as the instruments of communion and unity, have been threatened by the current divisions. While attention in this regard turns to the developments in the Episcopal Church (USA) and the Anglican Church of Canada it is clear that this threat has been increased by reactions to them.
This Report is not a judgement. It is part of a process. It is part of a pilgrimage towards healing and reconciliation. The proposals which follow attempt to look forward rather than merely to recount how difficulties have arisen. A large majority of the submissions received by the Commission have supported the continuance of the Anglican Communion as an instrument of God's grace for the world.
Throughout the work of this Commission many different views have been expressed by its members. These opinions have been shared openly. We have come to a position which takes our differing views seriously and yet we are able to offer this Report together for the Communion's consideration.
A process for the study of this Report is being established and there will be opportunity for the Communion as a whole to consider its findings. However, if realistic and visionary ways cannot be agreed to meet the levels of disagreement at present or to reach consensus on structures for encouraging greater understanding and communion in future it is doubtful if the Anglican Communion can continue in its present form.
Perhaps the greatest tragedy of our current difficulties is the negative consequence it could have on the mission of the Church to a suffering and bewildered world. Even as the Commission prepared for its final meeting the cries of children in a school in southern Russia reminded us of our real witness and ministry in a world already confronted by poverty, violence, HIV/AIDS, famine and injustice.
As Chairman of the Commission it has been my privilege to lead and co-ordinate the work in fulfilment of this mandate. I pay a warm tribute to the involvement of all members of the Commission who have worked with such commitment at their difficult task and enjoyed genuine Christian fellowship in their work. This task has involved three detailed plenary meetings, two at St George's, Windsor, England and one at the Kanuga Conference Centre, North Carolina, USA, in addition to months of intensive research, debate and prayer as the Commission has considered the problems and reviewed the many submissions from throughout the Anglican Communion and beyond. In addition to oral presentations the Commission is grateful for many written submissions which have been available to all of its members. There has been a genuine search for the will of Almighty God for the Communion. Each meeting has commenced with worship and Bible study. The Commission has been much encouraged by the expressions of prayerful support for its work.
I acknowledge the service and immensely detailed work of the Secretary of the Commission, Canon Gregory Cameron, Director of Ecumenical Affairs and Studies at the Anglican Communion Office in London; the assistance of our legal consultant, Canon John Rees; the secretarial staff at the Anglican Communion Office at St Andrew's House, London; and the Revd Brian Parker, who acted as Media Officer. Dr Albert Gooch, President of the Kanuga Conference Centre in North Carolina, facilitated a full meeting of the Commission and has given much practical assistance in the costs involved on that occasion. The Dean and Chapter of St George's College, Windsor, England, hosted two of our meetings: I express our sincere appreciation to them and the staff at Kanuga and Windsor.
The Lambeth Commission has been conscious of the trust placed in it by the Anglican Communion and, despite the difficulties it has faced, offers this Report in the prayerful hope that it will encourage the enhanced levels of understanding which are essential for the future of the Anglican Communion. Above all I pray it will be viewed as a genuine contribution to what communion really means for Anglicans.

Blast Adds Two Players for 2012-13
Baltimore Blast President and General Manager Kevin Healey announced that the team has signed midfielder Tony Donatelli and forward Tino Nunez, pending league approval. The Blast opened training camp earlier this week and will kick off the 2012-13 MISL season on November 3 against the Chicago Soul at 1st Mariner Arena.
Donatelli, who spent two seasons with the Philadelphia KiXX, most recently played for the 2012 USL PRO Champion Charleston Battery. He recorded three goals and four assists (10 points) in the USL PRO regular season en route to the Championship win over the Wilmington Hammerheads. Donatelli previously also played for the Rochester Rhinos (2011), Montreal Impact (2009-10) and Vancouver Whitecaps (2006-08), winning championships with Vancouver in 2006 and Montreal in 2009. He played for the KiXX from 2006 to 2008, recorded 37 goals and 22 assists for 100 points and won a championship in 2007. Donatelli finished his four-year collegiate career at Temple University tied for first in career assists (20) and eighth in Owls history with 64 points. After his senior season, he was named to the All-Atlantic 10 First Team, the All Mid-Atlantic Region First Team and also earned the Philadelphia Soccer Seven Player of the Year award.
Nunez, who is new to indoor soccer, played for Real Salt Lake in Major League Soccer in 2008 and 2009. Drafted by RSL in the Second Round (17th Overall) of the 2008 MLS Supplemental Draft, Nunez went on to play for the Rochester Rhinos (USSF D-2 Pro League) in 2010, the NSC Minnesota Stars (NASL) in 2011 and for the USL PRO's Pittsburgh Riverhounds this summer. He recorded two goals and one assist in 19 games with Pittsburgh. Nunez started his collegiate career at Compton Community College before transferring to the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2004. AT UCSB he played on the Gauchos team that lost on penalties to Indiana University in the '04 Division I Men's College Cup and was a member of the school's first-ever NCAA Championship team in 2006.
"Tony has had an outstanding career, winning championships both indoor and outdoor, and is still very much in the prime of his career, " said Blast head coach Danny Kelly. "He's a player that can both create and score goals, and he is very smart off the ball with his movement. We are a much better team with Tony Donatelli on the squad. Tino Nunez has had a very successful outdoor career, having played in MLS as well as the USL. Although he hasn't played indoor before, I think his skill set will translate well to the indoor game. He can hold guys off and play with his back to the goal, as well as distribute and score goals. Once he becomes comfortable with the game, he will have an immediate impact on our offense."
Season tickets, five-game mini plans and single game tickets are on sale now through the Blast office. Single-game tickets are also available at the 1st Mariner Arena Box Office and at all TicketMaster outlets including TicketMaster phone charge at 410-547-SEAT. Tickets cost $30, $22, $19 and $16 and can also be purchased online at www.ticketmaster.com. For additional information, call the Blast at 410-73-BLAST.

Oct. 16 Jim Leyland postgame interview
Q. What you've seen out of Verlander, not only tonight but in earlier starts, would you say this is the year, Jim, that he has pitched more than he has thrown, even compared with last year?
JIM LEYLAND: Well, I don't think there is any question about it. I talk about it all the time with all the players, Austin Jackson, young players, it is a maturity thing.
Q. What you've seen out of Verlander, not only tonight but in earlier starts, would you say this is the year, Jim, that he has pitched more than he has thrown, even compared with last year?
JIM LEYLAND: Well, I don't think there is any question about it. I talk about it all the time with all the players, Austin Jackson, young players, it is a maturity thing.
He's learn to handle these situations. He's learned how to stay pretty calm throughout the game in these big‑game situations.
And I don't think there is any question about it, he matured a lot. When you reach that maturity point and that kind of stuff, that is a pretty good combination.
Q. Jim, you went out to the mound in the ninth inning to talk to Justin. Was that to tell him he had one more hitter?
JIM LEYLAND: Basically I asked him, I said, You have one more hitter? And he said yes. So I gave him Gardner. And then Suzuki I believe swings at him all night, Ichiro. And normally I guess you don't take Secretary out in the final furlong, but that was pretty much it for him. I was not going to let him face Ichiro.
Q. Jim, just your thoughts on being up 3‑0 in this thing now.
JIM LEYLAND: Well, we are facing one of the best pitchers in baseball tomorrow. We have an excellent pitcher going for us. And obviously CC is one of the best in the business, so we have a lot of work ahead of us.
This is a great team. I thought Joe Girardi did an unbelievable job handling his pitching staff tonight under adverse conditions. And losing your starter like that, I thought he was unbelievable. I thought he made every perfect move with his pitching.
They are going to be tough to beat. They are the New York Yankees. They are a great team. All teams at this time of year are hard to beat. They are hard to beat during the regular season. They are really hard to beat during the postseason.
So we're fortunate, certainly, obviously. We put ourselves in a decent position, but that's all we have done.
Q. Jim, what did you learn about Coke tonight, particularly the way he went after Ibañez and finished him off with the off‑speed pitch?
JIM LEYLAND: I was really glad he threw the breaking ball, because he got in the point where it was probably a fastball count, but a lot of times 3‑2, guys are gearing up. They say on the fastball sometimes you can ‑‑ it may have been the best curveball he has thrown all year.
So we are very fortunate, and he did a terrific job. He will be off tomorrow.
Q. Jim, coming into the season, the defense was kind of seen as a question mark, but they had a really strong night and busy night. Talk about their development.
JIM LEYLAND: We mentioned this in the pregame press conference, we are playing pretty good. We're playing pretty good in all areas of the game right now. I'd like to get a few more runs, take a little pressure off, but you don't get a lot of runs in postseason play because you are facing an excellent pitcher every day out.
So we're playing pretty good right now, but we still ‑‑ believe me, we have a long way to go.
Q. Jim, you said before Game 1 how important it was going to be to get Delmon going, and he's been big for you guys this series. How nice is it to see him come through the way he has so far?
JIM LEYLAND: He had a great postseason last year and he picked up right where he left off. A huge hit tonight. If you watched the game, it probably worked for all of us.
The wind was blowing in most of the night. So the only way you were going to hit one out was probably the way Nuñez did it and the way Delmon did on the line. If you saw fly balls going tonight, not that they were home runs, but they were hit pretty decent and the wind held them up. And he hit a rocket out of there, just as Nuñez did for him.
That's pretty much the only way you will hit a home run tonight, unless you really, really centered one.
Q. If Coke is not available tomorrow, will Valverde be back in the closer role?
JIM LEYLAND: I will play it by ear. We have a bunch of guys down there. And, you know, I have so much respect for him, because one of the happiest faces in the clubhouse after the game and pumping the guys up was Valverde. And that's what the team is all about.
Will I use him tomorrow? Yes. Will I use him for sure? I can't answer that right now. We will see how it plays out. But Coke will not be available tomorrow.
Q. What does it say about Verlander that he only struck out three guys tonight yet was this dominant?
JIM LEYLAND: Well, I just think that tonight he made them mis‑hit the ball pretty good. This is a tremendous hitting team with big‑time power and it's a difficult lineup to manage against. So I thought he was absolutely terrific.
But I think more on the mental side I have been more impressed with the way he is handling these bigger situations now. He has matured a lot and I am impressed with the way he is handling it.
Like I said, he is a terrific pitcher. And you don't have to strike everybody out to get outs. You can make them mis‑hit the ball now and then. That's okay, too.

I configured a PC for a friend who's been travelling and she asked me how to change the time on the computer. I suppose it makes would sense to do that as a user, not as an admin. Actually both make sense, but I'm looking for a user solution here.
I expected to find something in the parameter manager, but found nothing.
However, there seems to be something hidden in orage clock. Global time. It opens a really small window with a settings menu where a timezone can be picked.
Is this meant for that ? Is it documented ? Does it display a clock with a chosen timezone, or does it actually change the time user-wide for all applications ?
I admit my request is unclear as I mix up absolute time and local time, and I don't really know what the need exactly is, but I think you see the idea.
I heard that Gnome Shell clock util and KDE's clock address this, although I don't have the detail.
Bottom line, the issue is: I'd expect to find a clock setting in the parameter manager GUI and I didn't. Do I miss a package ? Is this normal ? Should we add something there ? What ? How ?
I know the timezone can be changed by adding
TZ='Europe/Berlin'; export TZ
(requires session restart)
The value could be obtained by the same tree view that is used in the timezone picker I was refering to earlier.
Any hint anyone ?
You can use the Orage Panel Plugin to display the time for a different timezone as a plugin that sits in the panel. It doesn't change the system time, just allows you to display the time from a different timezone. In fact, you can add multiple copies of this plugin to display time from differing timezones. (In fact, Orage has much more functionality than just time display. Here is a good document that shows more of its functionality).
If you want the user to change the system date/time, you can install "system-config-date" (should be in your distro's repositories) and setup sudo to allow the user to run this particular app without a password. This app will also add a date/time icon in the Settings Manager for easier access.
Hi, thank you for your answer.
So there is a way to display the time for any timezone in the Orage clock. And there is a system config GUI that can be added to the Settings Manager for users with appropriate credentials.
However, there is no way to set the timezone user-widely, which is what I understood "TZ='Europe/Berlin'; export TZ" does. I don't know if this is so useful, anyway. I can't think of many program actually using this.
Well, in fact, the alarms generated by Orage itself should probably be timed on this. Maybe they are relative to system time, but I believe they should depend on user timezone. I also use (and used to contribute to) gbirthday, which needs date/time as well.
However, there is no way to set the timezone user-widely, which is what I understood "TZ='Europe/Berlin'; export TZ" does.
Yes, system-config-date will do this for you. Or if you prefer to do it manually, you can change the file that /etc/localtime links to (or in the case of Ubuntu, it seems to be a straight copy, not a link). For example (Arch Linux, current timezone=Canada/Eastern):
sudo rm /etc/localtime
sudo ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Pacific /etc/localtime
...changes my timezone to Canada/Pacific and changes my system time.
Yes, but this is sytem-wide, not what I'd call "user-wide": all softwares for a given user.
It seems sensible to me that time/date settings be system-wide rather than on a per-user basis. After all, when people take their computer with them to a different time-zone, most of them (all, AFAIK, lol) take the whole computer - not just their particular "home" directory.
Btw, I'm surprised that things aren't advanced enough by this point for a computer to figure out local time automatically whenever it accesses the Internet. Also, since it's a linux OS, that a person cannot simply open a terminal and set the time with a command (such as time, settime, or similar)... But I'd expect even that to require an administrator password.
I am having a similar situation. The command line :
gives me the correct information including the correct timezone. If I generate a file and save, then listing the file shows the correct date/time.The problem is the Desktop panel date/time calendar can not be set. If I access the properties it seems to also be set. Even if I reboot, it doesn't display the time. It seems to be associated with the timezone, the minutes are correct but the hour is off by several hours. So, I am thinking something is not right with the panel clock display.

Did you check your BIOS(?) menu to see if the time settings in it are incorrect?
MDM: I will check that. But, I kind of doubt it because the system time, including the Time zone is correct. Also, if I generate a small simple file and then examine the file
in the terminal mode, the date/time matches the information displayed when I also look at the results of date. But, I will check the BIOS and post back later.
It does look like to me as associated with the setting of the clock that is located on panel, the one at the top right side of the screen.
MDM: I changed time in the BIOS but it changed the on screen clock= 00:44 . So I don't know ?
I had a related issue (time was off in that the hour part was incorrect) and checked my computer's time via the BIOS menu. It was off, too - but not by the same amount, lol. I set the computer's hardware(?) clock correctly and then... I'm afraid I don't remember what I did next.
Now that your time (and time zone / difference from UTC / DST status, if any/all are applicable) is set correctly in your "BIOS menu..."
Do you have ntpd running? If "yes," there could be an issue there (or with the online source that it queries for the time data). If "no," then...
Is your locale set correctly? If "yes," open a terminal window and type:
date -R
to see something like this:
Thu, 24 Sep 2015 22:47:21 -0400
which should tell you if your "time zone offset" needs adjusting.
You can then type:
date --help
to see a large list of options and arguments. I don't see small font very well any more, so I'll let you look through it to see if there is something that will help, lol. IDK if there is a "DST" setting in that list or not, but I know such data shows up in my update manager from time to time, so I assume that is taken into account, also.
MDM: Some good suggestions. last night , after looking at the BIOS, I noticed that it was showing the incorrect hour and i reset it or so I thought.
But the hour in the panel was at zero audit seems I could not change that. I am beginning to wonder if the CMOS battery is no good. I will get back soon.
[update] OK, I did more investigation. Changing the BIOS and booting does not change the panel clock display, it is five hours ahead of the time displayed in terminal date command.
If I go back into the BIOS, the time that I had set previously did not change. The BIOS displayed the same time as in the panel clock.
So that indicates an issue with changing/setting the BIOS time settings(?). If it were a battery issue, I would think that would not keep the previous setting.
Also, I don't know enough of the Linux actions that can directly write to th BIOS (?)/
Last edited by eightbits (2015-09-25 16:49:05)
so far I have been unable to resolve the issue.
Question: Could this be an issue if the CMOS battery is no good?
I will mark this as solved. I tried so many things I don't know exactly what I did , but now I can get the clock and it seems to be set correctly and displayed on the
panel. I will keep an eye on this post and try to use the limited knowledge to help anyone else if I feel it would be of any value.
MDM: I did search for the NTP and installed what I thought might work. I installed from synaptic.
Thank you much to those that responded.
I have found that the time setting is combined with the language setting, rather than my timezone. I have English-GB as my preferred language, but live near Stockholm, Sweden, which makes it impossible for me to set the time correctly. Something is not right.
We have taken this problem very seriously, since a number of our users have found it quite annoying in the past. After trying a number of possibilities, we settled on an entry right in the MX-15 installer where the user can select the TZ s/he wants if the default one is not suitable.
MX-17 (based on Debian Stable) with Xfce 4.12.
Little collection of Xfce Tidbits
Yes, but if you open "Menu/settings/Language" you'll find that the top item, "Language" contains "Language, interface, date and time...", whereas the Region setting handles Numbers, currency, addresses, measurement...". In my opinion, Time should be a setting separate from the others. That would circumvent the problem. As for the installation procedure, I have to admit that I wasn't observant enough to notice what the TZ setting did to the time display (sorry). I fiddled with the time settings last night (rather late), but I didn't manage to solve the mystery. To re-iterate, here are the settings I would like to use:
Language (in programs etc.): English-GB
Region: Sweden, Swedish keyboard, currency, addresses, measurement according to the country
TZ: Stockholm, Berlin, etc.
I noticed that my laptop shows the correct time, whereas my desktop did not. I checked the differences in time setting by right-clicking the clock and found that the TZ entry on the laptop was empty, but I had written "Europe, Stockholm" in the desktop. Changing to an empty field seems to have solved the problem.
Still, it doesn't change my view on the time settings above. Opening the dialog where the calendar is displayed contains yet another field for the TZ. I find it a bit confusing, despite the explanation given by the tooltip on the main page.
Thank you for taking the time to respond, though.
Greetings from not-much-of-an-Xfce-user, but I have put it on my oldest box (running Xfce-4.10 on Debian LMDE2), where it performs well. However I recently moved across 2 timezones, and to a place that does not do daylight-savings, so I am now noticing:
I expected to find something [allowing a user to change timezone] in [Applications Menu>Settings], but found nothing.
Ditto. I also noticed Applications Menu>Accessories>Orage Globaltime, which
opens a really small window with a settings menu where a timezone can be picked.
However, when I changed that to my new timezone, it did *not* change the time in my tray's clock. Note the latter is correct for my old tz, so I'm assuming no problems with hardware clocks etc.
If you want the user to change the system date/time, you can install "system-config-date" (should be in your distro's repositories) and setup sudo to allow the user to run this particular app without a password. This app will also add a date/time icon in the Settings Manager for easier access.
That sounded great, except my `aptitude` did not find a package name=system-config-date
if you prefer to [set timezone] manually
I don't, but fortunately ...
you can change the file that /etc/localtime links to (or in the case of Ubuntu, it seems to be a straight copy, not a link)
... the following worked for me:
sudo rm /etc/localtime
sudo ln -sr /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Phoenix /etc/localtime
Note that in my Debian also, `/etc/localtime` was a file and not a symlink. That being said, the above worked.
*That* being said: maybe I've gotten soft on old-style GNOME (from when I was an Ubuntu user), MATE, and Cinnamon, but I remain surprised that there was no desktop GUI for timezone setting, especially given that there *was* installtime GUI for this.
Is this something for which a feature request should be filed? If so, what's the interface for Xfce FRs?

# dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Click "Bugs" on the top of the site, feature requests go there as well.

Rangers shadow Wild Card leaders with win
ARLINGTON -- The Rangers completed their sweep of the Astros on Wednesday but are still waiting for somebody else to help them.
There are only four days left for it to happen. The Rangers, after three years of being one of the frontrunners of the American League, are finding out what it's like to have to rely on other teams, especially ones with losing records just trying to finish out the season.View Full Game Coverage
ARLINGTON -- The Rangers completed their sweep of the Astros on Wednesday but are still waiting for somebody else to help them.
There are only four days left for it to happen. The Rangers, after three years of being one of the frontrunners of the American League, are finding out what it's like to have to rely on other teams, especially ones with losing records just trying to finish out the season.View Full Game Coverage
But that's where it still is after the Rangers, down by two, scored five runs in the fourth inning and went on to defeat the Astros, 7-3, on Wednesday night. The American League Wild Card standings did not change because the Rays and Indians also won.
With four left to play, the Rangers trail the Rays by two games and the Indians by one in the Wild Card race. The Rangers open a four-game series with the Angels at home on Thursday.
"We have to win," second baseman Ian Kinsler said. "Nothing's changed, there is no secret. We have to win games and hope to have somebody else help us. But there is nothing we can do but win our games."
The Indians close out the regular season with a four-game set against the Twins in Minnesota. The Rays have one more game left with the Yankees before finishing the season with three games against the Blue Jays in Toronto.
"You just take care of the business in front of you," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "If we keep winning ballgames, I don't care what they do. If we win out the string and they win out the string, that's the way it is. We're not thinking about Tampa Bay or Cleveland. We're trying to win a Major League ballgame."
The Rangers have had no trouble doing that when playing the Astros. Wednesday's victory was the Rangers' 17th in 19 games against the Astros, including the last 11 in a row. It's their most wins ever against one team in club history and marked the fifth time since the 1969 expansion that one team has defeated another 17 times during the season. Cleveland also improved to 17-2 against the White Sox on Wednesday.
"It's not fun at all," Astros outfield Brandon Barnes. "There's nothing more to be said than it's not fun. We all at the same time want to go out there and we want to win, and it's not happening."
Rangers starter Martin Perez went seven innings to get the victory, allowing three runs on six hits with a walk and eight strikeouts. Perez is 10-5 with a 3.55 ERA and is line to start on Monday if the Rangers end up in a tiebreaking game with either the Rays or the Indians.
Perez, overcoming a three-run fourth inning, also saved the Rangers from using top relievers Neal Cotts, Tanner Scheppers and Joe Nathan. Cotts and Nathan warmed up, but Jason Frasor pitched the eighth and Joakim Soria worked the ninth to close it down for Perez.
"I thought Perez did a really good job," Washington said. "You could see his emotions start to get to him a little bit but after he got past that fourth inning, he began to settle in."
The Rangers scratched out an unearned run in the third inning to take a 1-0 lead, but the Astros struck back in the top of the fourth. Jose Altuve led off with a double and scored on a one-out single by Chris Carter. Brandon Laird then put the Astros ahead with a two-run home run that just cleared the outfield wall beyond the reach of center fielder Leonys Martin.
"A couple of pitches ... I just tried too hard to make the perfect pitch," Perez said. "But after that, I just tried to minimize the damage and continue to pitch. After they scored three runs, I thought, 'I have to stop this thing. If we get some runs, we'll win the game.'"
That's exactly what happened, and everything happened in the fourth after Astros starter Dallas Kuechel retired the first two hitters. Jeff Baker got a rally started with a single to center, Mitch Moreland drew a walk and Craig Gentry was hit by a pitch to load the bases.
That brought up Martin, who was looking for the same slider that he struck out on in the third. He got it and smashed it down the right-field line for a three-run double.
"I was definitely looking for that pitch," Martin said. "The last at-bat, he struck me out with that same pitch, so I was waiting for that pitch. Thank God he threw me that same pitch and I was able to square it up."
Kinsler's single drove home Martin, and Elvis Andrus and Alex Rios followed with singles to make it 6-3. Kinsler added a sixth-inning home run, his first at home since July 3.
"We were able to build an inning and Leonys got the big hit," Kinsler said. "It was a big inning in getting [Perez] settled down."
Now the Rangers wait for another day and see if they can regain control of their destiny.
"We just have to keep winning," Andrus said. "There is nothing else we can do. Keep winning and hope somebody loses. But the only way we have a chance is we have to keep getting W's."

Blythe's Light-Filled Kitchen Sanctuary
Here's a lovely vintage kitchen from Mission Dolores, San Francisco — we love the color of this kitchen, as well as its vintage details. The owner, Blythe, is a designer who has worked extensively on restaurant interiors, so she is an expert at making a cook's space both beautiful and functional!
Blythe says that she is inspired by an "urban gypsy" aesthetic. She says to "create space out of things you adore," and to enjoy the eclecticism that comes from objects and colors accumulated through life experiences. In her kitchen she has put a lot of the care and thoughtfulness she values so highly into the colors and the small details she displays. She has her grandmother's mermaid platter on display, and stones she picked up in her travels.
We love the softness of the color and the light in the kitchen, and all those vintage details. It looks like a great place to cook!

Hi all,
I am creating a pl/sql stored proc which has a db link in it.
The SQL does an update
UPDATE tableX@dblink SET DB_SOURCE='S';
The DB_SOURCE is a new field which I just added to the record
however it fails to compile.. even though this SQL works when run normally.
Its as though the compiler is referring to the old record structure.. as though the compiler is compiling against
a cached version of the record structure. Tomorrow I know it will work OK.
Perhaps I need to get everyone to stop using the DB link before it refers to the correct record structure
rather than the old one.
Any ideas ?

As a father, I could see why parents would feel comfortable sending their kids to Michigan. Mattison seems like a genuine guy that is trustworthy. In this day and age, it seems as though trust is maybe the most important part of the puzzle. At least in my eyes. Being trustworthy and down-to-Earth. I think genuine people like that will always succeed at recruiting.
February 7th, 2013 at 2:16 PM ^
Not a father, but I agree and so do our commits.
If you listen to Dymonte's interview on WTKA, he actually credits Mattison and his wife for being a main reason why he picked Michigan. He said that Mattison's wife told him that if he every feels homesick that she will cook him a home cooked meal.
February 7th, 2013 at 2:28 PM ^
... or butter, peanut butter, jelly or similar spread for bagels, etc., we might as well just report that Secondary Violation now, before it even happens.
February 7th, 2013 at 2:32 PM ^
So it was a violation all those times we saw videos of players going to their position coach's house for a team dinner?
February 7th, 2013 at 2:36 PM ^
So Ms. Rita's Nachos were a violation!?
February 7th, 2013 at 3:35 PM ^
Hoke and Mattison is that you know as a recruit both want to be there. Mattison left a great NFL gig to be at Michigan. And Hoke has spoken about Michigan being his dream job. Add in the sincerity, the fun they seem to have, and the ability to really coach players up and you have a recipe for recruiting success. I'd love to get a chance to meet and interact with some of the coaches someday.
February 7th, 2013 at 2:22 PM ^
Top to bottom we have an amazing recruiting team: Mattison, Hoke, Hecklinski, Funk and Jackson all seem like amazing recruiters and the other coaches are not slouches either. We have been able to put together top 10 classes with minimal recent success. Imagine the work these guys will do once we are competing for Big Ten/MNC titles year in and year out.
Consider me excite.
Congrats Coach Mattison!
February 7th, 2013 at 2:22 PM ^
He's like Fred Jackson; only better. Mattison not only has the confidence of high school and prep coaches; they worship him in little shrines made out of parts of crashed WWII bombers. Mattison can not only sell players on his ability to take players where they couldn't take themselves; Mattison can take them into the Intergalactic League, usually as a pick in the top three rounds of the Universal Draft. When you rank Mattison along with other gods (Zeus, Apollo, Poseidon, Hermes, Ares, Dionysus), Mattison "will be all right."
February 7th, 2013 at 2:27 PM ^
As a father, I CAN say the shyster (Meyer) approach to recruiting would not fly with my kids. "Past performance is no guarantee of future gains". You can flash all the championship rings you want that were won in past years at past schools and it would mean very little outside of proving your arrogance Are you going to take care of my son? Will you treat that responsibility like you were caring for your own? Football (any sport) will take care of itself.
Sign me up for some of Mrs. Mattison's home cooked meals.
February 7th, 2013 at 2:51 PM ^
Hope your kids are 5 stars
February 7th, 2013 at 3:29 PM ^
Nope. The difference between how the top teams develop players is not all that different across the top schools. The difference between how they develop young men and how they look out for the kids is night and day. I am sure JK is as happy with the way he developed and was treated as Taylor Lewan is. Not so sure about all the kids at OSU or pick your SEC school.
February 7th, 2013 at 3:42 PM ^
The daily piece on Red Berenson. One of his greatest coaching successes was a blue chip who didn't succeed on the ice, but succeeded in life as a neurosurgeon.
Between Hoke and his staff, Red and his staff, and Belein and his staff, I'd not trade any of them for another staff. It's pretty special when you step back and take a look at UofM's athletic program.
February 7th, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
And now that the Ravens won the Super Bowl with a lot of Mattison's guys, I suspect that his credibility will only increase with defense recruits.
February 7th, 2013 at 2:51 PM ^
Surprised this didn't go to Meyer, with the way ESPN has been slurping on OSU's class.
February 7th, 2013 at 3:37 PM ^
Urban Meyer's class provided drama, especially on NSD, and most TV outlets are drama-seeking missiles. Brady Hoke had most of his class "wrapped up" before NSD. ESPN obviously sees Meyer's drama as a bigger story than the great job Hoke and company have done.
At least they gave the award to the right person.
February 7th, 2013 at 4:03 PM ^
shocked this didn't go to ole miss. that class came out of nowhere and ole miss was a program left for dead 2 years ago.
February 7th, 2013 at 4:26 PM ^
In a competitive world like recruiting, this is quite the recognition. I think what Bob Davie said is key actually:
"It's invaluable to have a Greg Mattison on your staff for what he does as far as staff camaraderie and staff spirit. Those same attributes are why he's such a great recruiter."
Mattison said in an interview back in 2011 that he sees recruiting as a competition, and that he will basically continue to do whatever it takes to get someone he identifies as someone who fits the Michigan mold both in character and for football. The tenacity that he preaches on defense he takes with him into a recruit's home, and it pays dividends. He definitely echoes Hoke's family philosophy for the program, and I bet it helps to work for someone like Hoke, since they've known each other for years.
February 7th, 2013 at 4:20 PM ^
Makes me lament that Michigan let not only Mattison go, but let his Recruiting Coordinator predecessor, Bob Chmiel, go...both to ND. Looking back on defenses between Mattison's stints (who can forget so many torchings), whether we could have had even better recruiting classes than we did... Yet, for paying a partial schollie for his daughter to play softball at ND, we let him go instead. I think he would have picked up plenty of ideas/schemes/formations had he been here the entire time...sadly, the pay-our-coordinators-a-competitive-wage wasn't part of the mindset until 2 years ago (how insane is THAT statement!).
My brother and I have discussed and agreed that having an awesome original (Mattison) is better than a half-rate clone (let's not list ALL of them out, shall we?). Should have kept him close for the better part of the past two decades.
P.S. Having shown my agedness with the Chmiel reference, he was also part of Bo's staffs during the 80's. Could that man pick stellar performers to be around him or what?
P.P.S. I think the reason Chmiel left was the NCAA eliminated, or proposed eliminating, the Recruiting Coordinator position - as a stand alone and thus had to be integrated into an existing coaches role. OK, I'll let the younguns back on these intertubes to discuss with each other.
February 7th, 2013 at 11:05 PM ^
Does it explain who Mattison recruited in this year's class?
I also find it funny (and AWESOME) that if you asked GMatt who the best recruiter in the nation was...he'd say, "my wife." Apparently she's a beast and a HUGE part of the committments we get.

Greater price volatility in agricultural markets is demanding producers develop better marketing skills to improve their bottom line, said a Texas AgriLife Extension Service economist.
Dr. Steve Amosson, AgriLife Extension economist in Amarillo, will be leading a group of instructors from within the agency, several universities and private industries to put on the third Master Marketer Program.
Master Marketer is a national award-winning risk-management educational program where students learn how to develop marketing plans, evaluate marketing alternatives, manage production and price risk, and execute a risk management and marketing plan, Amosson said.
A wide range of topics are covered to enhance marketing/risk management skills, he said. Case studies, group discussions and simulation exercises will be used to provide experience with real tools that can be used on individual farm and ranch operations after the class.
The 64-hour curriculum is offered as four, two-day sessions held every two weeks. It is the most intensive marketing/risk management training provided by Extension anywhere in the U.S., Amosson said.
The next Master Marketer Program will be held in Amarillo, starting Jan. 13-14, with follow-up dates of Jan. 27-28, Feb. 10-11 and Feb. 24-25. All the meetings will be held at the Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Service Center of Amarillo, 6500 W. Amarillo Blvd.
A free futures and options leveling workshop will be held on Jan. 12 before the program begins for anyone who doesn't feel they are ready for intermediate to advanced level training.
The final date to register is Jan. 4, but Amosson said the class generally fills up fast, and he has never seen interest this high this early. Only 60 participants can be accepted, so those interested shouldn't wait to register.
The registration fee for the program is $250, which includes noon meals and educational materials. Amosson said previous registrants say it is well worth the money, reporting their incomes have increased more than $37,000 per year on average.
The training in the Amarillo area will focus on cotton, wheat, livestock and feedgrains, Amosson said.
Program costs are partially covered by grants from sponsors, including the Texas Corn Producers Board, Texas Farm Bureau, the Cotton State Support Committee and the Risk Management Program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
For more information or to register, call Amosson at 806-677-5600. Fees may be paid by check or money order, made payable to account #222100-60025 and sent with a completed registration form.
For those who want to use a credit card and register over the Internet, go to http://agrilifevents.tamu.edu. Registration forms may be obtained at http://mastermarketer.tamu.edu.

Suppose you were an IRS agent.
- Suppose you had been tasked with singling out a group of religiously-based non-profit agencies for audits because they express their religious beliefs about controversial issues in public. They do this on issues that put them at loggerheads with the President of the United States.
- Suppose you had also been tasked with ordering those tax payers to cease expressing their religious beliefs about these issues or face the loss of their tax exempt status.
- Suppose that you were also tasked with enforcing a government agency rule that gave you the power to arbitrarily fine the same tax exempt agencies you'd been selectively auditing because of their beliefs. Suppose these fines would put those agencies out of business.
What would you think you were supposed to do in this situation?
That is the question raised by Ashley McGuire. Ms McGuire is a senior fellow at the Catholic Association and editor of AltCatholicah, a Catholic women's web magazine.
"The HHs mandate hinges on what constitutes a religious entity," she told CNA in a May 10 interview.
The IRS has "authority in determining what a religious entity is" for purposes of deciding while employers fall under the mandate's requirements.
The IRS has now publicly admitted that non-profit organizations have been audited and otherwise harassed by the agency based on whether or not their names indicated they might be opposed to gay marriage, be pro life, or otherwise traditionally Christian. Some of the groups that were subjected to this unfair governmental discrimination and harassment were: Christian Voices for Life, Family Talk Action, National Organization for Marriage and Samaritan's Purse.
Read more at CNA:
"So the very enforcers at the IRS, whose own inspector general admits they systematically targeted conservative and religious groups, will now get to decide who is entitled to ladle soup into a bowl for a homeless person without violating his or her conscience," McGuire wrote in the Weekly Standard.
In the midst of the scandal in which "religious values were indeed scrutinized by bureaucrats," the IRS will "gain new authority to determine what constitutes religious activity and which religious employers are entitled to conscience rights," she continued.
"If the case for repealing this unjust intrusion on the free exercise of religion was always strong, in recent weeks it's gotten stronger still," she added.
McGuire told CNA that the only way to ensure that the sort of political targeting that has occurred already by the IRS does not result in an infringement on religious freedoms via the contraception mandate is to either "completely repeal the mandate" or give a religious exemption to "anyone who asks for an exemption."

NPR: Chicago has been plagued by gun violence. One weekend last month nearly a dozen people were shot and killed.
Ondelee Perteet and his mother, Detreena, at their home in Chicago. In 2009, 14-year-old Ondelee was shot in the jaw at a birthday party on Chicago's West Side. The bullet severed his spine, paralyzing him from the neck down. His doctors told him that he would never walk again, but three years later, he is walking with the help of crutches.

The problems in Chicago are gangs and the war on drugs.
Quote from: Odin on August 21, 2013, 09:21:51 PMThe problems in Chicago are gangs and the war on drugs. I agree those are both large contributing factors.
Another problem would be the ease with which Chigagoans can acquire guns from nearby states.
A Chicago resident can't just waltz into a gun shop in Detroit and buy a gun.
Quote from: pianodwarf on August 22, 2013, 08:26:00 AMA Chicago resident can't just waltz into a gun shop in Detroit and buy a gun. Perhaps. I'm not sure of the exact laws. However, if I am not mistaken, and I may be, they can waltz into a gun show in Indiana and buy a gun and no one would be any the wiser. Or they can buy a gun from a private owner in Illinois, again without any form of notification. Neither scenario is regulated in any way, as I understand.
Who needs a FOID card?Unless specifically exempted by statute, any Illinois resident who acquires or possesses firearm or firearm ammunition within the State must have in their possession a valid Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) card issued in his or her name. Non residents are not required to have a FOID card. New Illinois residents have sixty calendar days after obtaining an Illinois driver's license or Illinois Identification Card to obtain a FOID card...........Does Illinois have a waiting period for firearm purchases and does it apply to private sales?Yes. Illinois law requires withholding the delivery of a concealable weapon (i.e. a handgun) for at least 72 hours and a rifle, shotgun, or other long gun for at least 24 hours. This applies for gun dealers and private sales.
There is no FOID verification at an out of state gun show or buying from a private seller. It is essentially an honor system. And since a gun registry is tantamount to fascism in the eyes of many gun owners, there is no way to track whether someone sold a gun. The FOID only works if the only place a Chicago resident could get a gun were a licensed gun dealer. But that is not the case.
I thought we were discussing legal gun sales.
I was pointing out that there are areas where the law is completely unenforceable or inapplicable. I am sure there are plenty of otherwise law-abiding people in Illinois who have guns but no FOID. And if the whole point of the gun laws is to keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have them, then the laws are incomplete.
Well, it isn't looking too good for us liberals that just want to take all the guns away...The title says it all. http://lifesciencephdadventures.wordpress.com/2013/08/29/harvard-gun-study-less-guns-results-in-more-violence/I'll be interested to see how various folks in the media and elsewhere react to this study. It just may be that things are too broken to fix.
You're kind of arguing our point for us. Since folks who break the laws, by definition, don't follow laws, more laws are not the answer. If I sell a gun to an out-of-state person, I am breaking the law unless the transaction is completed using an FFL. No amount of new laws would change that.
The only "gun show loophole" that exists, as far as I can tell, is that I can buy a long gun at a local gun show from another resident of my state, and there is no background check. The seller is charged with ascertaining, to the best of his or her abilities, that I am not prohibited from owning the long gun - not a convicted felon, insane, etc. If I buy a handgun, I am required to have a pistol permit or concealed carry license. In that case, I have already been subjected to a comprehensive background check.
I could just arrange for a later meeting outside the gun show grounds.
As to Chicago's problems - why should it be harder for someone in, say, rural Wyoming to buy a hunting gun or even a self-defense gun, just because Chicago has a gang problem?
That is a gigantic loophole that makes it so easy to break the law. It is not that more laws are needed. It is that this law is written stupidly. There is only a requirement in 14 states for background checks at gun shows.[1] Why? Why not make it a felony to sell to someone who does not have a permit or does not pass a background check? Why should you not have to prove you can own a gun before you buy it? 1. http://www.governing.com/gov-data/safety-justice/gun-show-firearms-bankground-checks-state-laws-map.html

General Sleep Info
It's a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it.
-John Steinbeck
As a society, we get 20% less sleep than our ancestors only 100 years ago. Our lack of sleep has become problematic, especially among college students. College students slept around 8 hours a night in the 1960s and '70s, seven by the '80s, and now that number is closer to six hours. We've always been told that sleep is important but not until recently have we discovered all of the various ways it affects us physically, mentally, and emotionally. Countless problems can be solved when we sleep for 7-9 hours each night!
Check out all of the areas of your life that are affected by lack of sleep:
Physical Health
Lack of sleep can increase cancer risk, increase blood pressure, and decrease immunity and reduce your body's ability to fight off common infections, including the flu.
Body Weight
Lack of sleep can cause weight gain. People who report an average total sleep time of 5 hours a night, for example, are much more likely to become obese, compared with people who sleep 7-8 hours a night. Evidence is growing that sleep is a powerful regulator of appetite, energy use, and weight control. The less people sleep, the more likely they are to be overweight or obese and prefer eating foods that are higher in calories and carbohydrates.
Mental Health
Lack of sleep can lead to depression, anxiety, and irritability.
Social Health
Lack of sleep is associated with difficulty communicating, forgetfulness, lethargy, bad mood, and paranoia.
Lack of sleep leads to poor decision making, increased accident risk, and slows down reaction time. When people who lack sleep are tested on a driving simulator, they perform just as poorly as people who are drunk.
"The feeling of sleepiness when you are not in bed, and can't get there, is the meanest feeling in the world."
-Edgar Watson Howe

There are Rev1, Rev2 and optimus switchable laptops.
We can ignore Rev 1 - they required a reboot to switch
This code is mostly towards the Rev 2 switchable, which switches the physical outputs between the chips under ACPI control.
Optimus is a different kettle of fish, and is also muddied by the fact that not all Optimus laptops have a Rev 2 compatability mode, most of them do, but I think there are some out there which don't have the physical mux anymore. So the Lenovo T410s has Optimus but it also has the ability to act like Rev 2, hence why this code was possible.
Optimus isn't "wired" its a pure sw solution built on a extra copy engine on the discrete GPU which talks for PCIE like anything normal would. No extra wires.

Abstract Scope
To model the macroscopic mechanical response of a polycrystalline material, it is essential to characterize defect accumulation within grains and how it leads to strain fields within a material. However, traditional techniques of measuring the strain state in a material such as digital image correlation and digital volume correlation either only measure surface strain or do not provide the resolution to resolve defects. Bragg coherent diffraction imaging (BCDI) is an emerging x-ray characterization technique that provides the unique capability to measure both structure and strain within an object at ~10 nm spatial resolution. Using this technique, we present the first direct 3D X-ray imaging of the structure and strain state of a grain in a polycrystalline material following tensile loading. By incorporating the reconstructed grain into an atomistic model, we were able to establish that the observed lattice displacement field corresponds to a screw dislocation.

Don't say that. We all need to try and make ourselves aware of what is happening in the world and be able to understand what is overhyped and what is a real threat. i.e mercury in fish is actually a real concern for a lot of people. Especially those that eat mostly fish as their source of protein. Then again the amounts of mercury shown to be dangerous are far easily obtainable by *normal* standards than radiation.Saladin wrote:
Thanks Adam. I'm just your typical dumb-guy just hoping to limit his exposure to as many bad things as possible.
Honestly, while I may say that I am a bit annoyed by the general paranoia out there over radiation. I do understand it, as it is not something that is very easily understood, especially as most other naturally occurring harmful substances have not been turned into weapons of mass destruction. Nor has there been an entire generation taught to fear an item such as mercury through a long standing global escalation of powers (cold war and radiation).
But the truth is in short of meltdowns of nuclear power plants happening in your somewhat close neighborhood, or a sudden outbreak of nuclear war, the chances that you will be exposed to even half the known amount of dangerous radiation from every day items is very minimal. I hope this makes you feel better.
Also if it makes you feel better, when I heard the news about the Mashiko pottery centers, I have reconsidered whether or not I will be seeking out new pottery from those areas any time soon. (Sad as I was really starting to love those wares.)

Dear Amy: My 16-year-old son and his friends get together every now and again at one another's homes to play video games or watch a movie.
Whenever his friends come to our house, we feed them and provide them with snacks and beverages. My son has often paid for this out of his own pocket because he enjoys their company, has a very generous spirit and is a gracious host.
Whenever they go to "Jack's" house, the mother sends an e-mail to everyone telling them to bring a snack to share, and she recently said, "Bring money so we can order pizza."
I find this tacky and rude.
For Jack's 17th birthday, he called my son and "invited" him to the movies to celebrate his birthday. My son had to pay for himself when they got there.
Am I out of touch with reality?
When I take my son and his friends out for my son's birthday, I would never consider asking them to pay for their own meal or for the movies.
Is this a trend or is it rude and obnoxious?
— Wondering
Dear Wondering: I don't see a trend here. What I do see is a tough economy, where hosting a pack of teenage boys could cost upward of $200. Nor do I think asking kids to pay for their own snacks or chip in for pizza is outrageous.
These older teens should be involved in the important transition — from kids whose moms provide snacks and pay for movies — to young adults who finance their own recreation.
It sounds as if you are a generous person who enjoys hosting and treating these young people. That's an admirable trait, and you are no doubt providing your son with a nice example to follow. But to brand another family as tacky, rude and obnoxious for following a different financial model is unnecessarily harsh.
Dear Amy: I am a 42-year-old woman living in the same city as my mother. We meet for dinner at least once a week. When we go to dinner, I like to have a beer, especially with wings and pizza. She frowns on this, though she will sometimes have a glass of wine at functions.
How can I nicely say, "I am an adult and if I want to relax after a hard day's work, why can't you allow me without getting upset and climbing on your high horse?"
She gambles at least three times per week, and I don't give her lectures.
— Like My Suds
Dear Suds: I'm going to give you both the benefit of the doubt and assume that you don't have a drinking problem and your mother doesn't have a gambling problem — though this assumption may be a stretch.
If you don't have an alcohol addiction, then one response to this kind of disapproval and interference is, "Make mine a double."
Otherwise, you can be straightforward and say, "Mom, I'm going to have a beer. If you don't like it, I'm sorry, but I'm 42 years old, I'm responsible and this is what I'm going to do."
If your mother won't leave this alone, and if establishing your right to have a beer is that important to you, you might want to meet her for dinner less often. If she asks why you don't want to meet, you can say, "You don't seem happy when we go out, so I'd rather not do it so often."
Your mother can only control you if you let her.
Dear Amy: Thank you so much for printing the letter concerning nasty in-laws and the horrible aftermath of this sort of abuse.
Like "Wishing," my in-laws are also gone now, but I'm still dealing with the emotional issues and trying to let go.
I think the worst part of all this is my failure to set boundaries with my husband's parents. Had I done that early on, it wouldn't have gone as far as it did. They were aggressive people who made sure my husband was never in the room to hear their criticism, which has left him wondering why this is such an issue with me.
I chose to back down and ignore what they said, and it gave them license to continue.
Letting go of the anger is difficult because I'm angry at myself for putting up with their bullying.
— Sad
Dear Sad: Countless readers have taught me that setting boundaries early on could help to prevent bullying and its painful legacy.

CHENGDU (Reuters) - Chinese and American soldiers finished a week-long disaster rescue exercise on Friday, furthering military ties between the two countries even as military tensions rise between China and U.S. military allies in the Pacific region.
The exercise, which included 20 U.S. soldiers visiting facilities in three Chinese cities, are meant to bring the two rivals closer together through non-combat military collaboration, and to allay fears of countries in the region worried over China's rising influence.
"Our senior leaders have been pretty clear: they're seeking a positive, cooperative and comprehensive relationship between our two nations," said Maj. Gen. Stephen Lyons, commander of the U.S. Army's 8th Theater Sustainment Command, based in Hawaii.
"That spirit of cooperation and that level of transparency I think helps signals throughout the region, and it helps us understand each other," Lyons said at a People's Liberation Army barracks on the outskirts of Chengdu in southwest China, where a massive earthquake devastated nearby regions in 2008, killing more than 87,000 people.
The general leading the Chinese side acknowledged the two services' rivalry, but said they share a common duty.
"The Chinese and American militaries do have our differences, but it is my belief that it is the indispensable responsibility of the two militaries to join forces in disaster relief," said Maj. Gen. Tang Fen, director of the PLA's Mass Work Office, General Political Department.
"Our two sides have a lot of experiences to share with each other and much to learn from each other."
Chinese Defence Minister Liang Guanglie this week also promoted military cooperation between Beijing and Washington.
"We should develop the ties between us, between our two militaries, touch on some of our differences, resolve conflicting views," he told Reuters. "We should push forward the development of our two powers, and push forward the development of a new China-U.S. military relationship."
The U.S. and Chinese military have exchanged occasional visits on disaster relief since 1998, but those were mostly information sharing, Lyons said. This was the first exercise involving planning for joint action, and observation of Chinese troops training in drills such as practicing entering and rappelling down the sides of buildings and using dog handlers.
Amid all nice talk however, the two sides remain considerably wary of each other.
"The distrust of the U.S. military within the PLA is very high. The distrust of the PLA within the U.S. military is substantial," says Kenneth Lieberthal, a former National Security Council senior director for Asia in the Clinton administration.
The two sides have often expressed suspicion over each other's intentions, with Washington viewing China's growing economic and military clout as an attempt to dominate Asia, and Beijing seeing U.S. force projection including President Barack Obama's year-old "rebalancing" of a military focus back to Asia as China-containment.
"Some high-ranking Chinese officials have openly stated that the United States is China's greatest national security threat," wrote Wang Jisi, dean of the School of International Studies at Peking University, in a paper published earlier this year by China's Centre for International and Strategic Studies. "This perception is widely shared in China's defence and security establishments."
Chinese officials insist that China's intent is to safeguard its own sovereignty. But Chinese military actions and weapons advances this year give some neighbors cause for concern.
China has been increasingly asserting territorial claims this year over waters and islands in the South and East China Seas, in direct conflict against Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia and Taiwan.
Southeast Asia's top diplomat warned on Friday that China's plan to board and search ships that illegally enter what it considers its territory in the disputed South China Sea could spark naval clashes and hurt the region's economy.
Surin Pitsuwan, secretary-general of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), said the Chinese plan was a "very serious turn of events".
China launched its first aircraft carrier and two prototypes of stealth fighter jets this year. Earlier this month it unveiled a new attack helicopter and pilotless drone aircraft. A U.S. congressional commission reported that China's submarines will likely be capable carrying nuclear warheads in two years.
Cooperation such as this week's disaster relief exercise helps to ease such tensions, Lyons said.
"There's going to be differences between our two nations," he said. "But as long as we're committed to solving those differences in a peaceful, stable kind of way, there's goodness in having discussions about what we agree upon and what we disagree upon."

AMMAN (Reuters) - A meeting of Israeli and Palestinian negotiators in Washington expected in the near future would in effect mark the resumption of peace talks, a U.S. official said on Friday.
The official spoke after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced that a basis for new Israeli-Palestinian negotiations had been agreed and that the sides would send top negotiators to the U.S. capital "within the next week or so".
Asked whether participation in the Washington talks would be considered the start of negotiations, the official said:
"That would be the start of direct talks between the parties. Yes."
