Stove-top seared ribeye steak & my fave salad!
Who needs a grill?! Not THIS guy, and certainly not you! Steak can be enjoyed without the assistance of a charcoal, gas, or even an electric grill!
Ribeye: a perfect ribeye is marbled with fat, so don't be afraid of the white lines in the bright red meat…it adds flavor, juiciness and like my grandpa always said, "no fat, no flavor, no FUN!" :) Sprinkle with montreal steak seasoning on each side, let rest at room temp for 15 min, then sear 6-7 min each side in a sprayed pan over medium heat, or to desired doneness. I use the following method to check my steak, to get the perfect medium-rare I love: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/the_finger_test_to_check_the_doneness_of_meat/
Pan sauce: let steak rest 10-15 min to keep the juices in so they don't escape when you first cut into it. It's tempting to dig right in, but please—for the love of meat, let it rest and you'll be happy you did. Make a pan sauce and it'll provide the waiting time you need while making an amazing topper for your steak. Add 1 T unsalted butter to the pan juices over medium heat. Stir to melt. Stir in 1/4 to 1/2 c red wine, heat til bubbling. Add onions, and even some jalapeño or mushroom slices if you like, and reduce sauce while stirring until it reaches a thick consistency that coats the back of a spoon. Pour over your steak, and ENJOY!
Salad: my fave includes blue-cheese stuffed olives, feta, red onions, spinach, tomato, avocado, and Italian dressing :)

Why I think this world should end- Spoken Word Music Video by Prince Earead more
The scientists who authored this book have found through a decade of unique, wholistic research that by integrating new and emergent findings in science with cross-disciplinary research data, what turns up is a new law that
totally overturns the law of entropy. The new facts reveal a "Creative Force" law that continually brings new, different and higher order phenomena into being – the opposite of the negative force of entropy. The new findings reveal that creation not destruction makes up the major force of the universe. The great dividing chasm that the law of entropy created between the sacred and the scientific can now be bridged. We can enjoy a powerful, positive and hopeful worldview based on the joining of powerful concrete scientific facts and on our deepest sacred intuitions.

When you no longer believe that God is a cosmic puppeteer, why pray? An exploration of progressive Christian ideas about prayer. In the stories handed down to us from our ancestors, we hear the disciples of Jesus ask, "Lord teach us to pray!" For generations Christians have continued to seek ways to communicate with the ONE we call God. Progressive Christians seek new ways of understanding God and notions of God as a cosmic puppeteer who lives in the sky are being replaced with images which point toward the Reality which lies at the heart of all that is. As we begin to see God as the ONE who lives and breathes in, with, through, and beyond us, our understanding of prayer is evolving. This Keynote presentation includes youtube videos of John Shebly Spong – Honest Prayer Parts I and II, and Fred Plumer on Prayer and Progressive Christianity.

The Gospel writer tells us that Nicodemus addressed Jesus with respect: "Rabbi" he said, "Teacher." Then Nicodemus discloses his own heart, when he says, "We know you are a teacher come from God, for no one can perform the signs and wonders that you do, unless by the power of God." Nicodemus heaps upon Jesus the kind of praise that many the Pharisee would have coveted for himself. Could Nicodemus have come under cover of darkness because he too wanted to be just like Jesus; a wonderful teacher capable of great things? Jesus, just like many the wise teacher before him and since him, delivers the blow that teachers all too often must deliver to their ardent admirers, Jesus pushes Nicodemus beyond his child-like ardor, to a vision of a life that is totally transformed. "The truth of the matter is, unless one is born from above, one cannot see the kindom of God."read more
I sincerely believe one of the failures of the mainline churches is not taking religious education seriously for over a century. It is true that today more churches are taking advantage of excellent educational products provided by organizations like Living the Questions, publications and lectures by the Jesus Seminar and Westar and our own PC.org website and publications. Unfortunately they are probably too little, too late. Since most of these resources tend to focus on the deconstruction of the old Christian story, they are little more than a confirmation of what aging members of our congregations have suspected for decades. This new information may be interesting for them, but their children—and now grandchildren—who have never been committed to a community do not get it.read more
"Preaching" is a word much maligned in our culture- and justifiably so. It has the connotation of forcibly communicating the truth to others who are sinful or at least ignorant. How many times have we heard preachers rant and rave about how they have the answer and you don't?! On the other hand, if we use the word with a tone that is confessional rather than dogmatic, preaching can be as enlightening as teaching. Often in gatherings the word used to describe the monologue is reflection, or meditation. The person delivering the message is not a preacher, but a speaker. Often there is the opportunity at the end of the gathering for others to engage in dialogue with the speaker. It is a time when one person can basically say: This is how I see it. What do you think? It is a laying bare of personal faith as well as a word to others asking them what they believe. It is a confession of trust that can enable the hearer to find comfort and consolation in face of adversity.read more
Preaching is a unique form of expression, probably more like a spoken op ed column than anything else. You get to speak, uninterrupted, for usually ten to twenty minutes, and it is your job to bring ancient scriptures alive in all their veiled, puzzling and even sometimes obnoxious voices. In the Episcopal and many other Christian denominations, there is a lectionary or schedule of selected Bible readings in a three year cycle. Each Sunday has its suggested texts, and you are to connect these readings with your own life and that of your hearers in a way that matters. A preacher must always face the "So what?" question about her work – why do people need to hear this? And finally, a sermon is supposed to be "good news" or Gospel in Christian terms. Underneath all that, at its best, our preaching should tell the truth about the way life really is, and where we all get caught, and how and why we need saving help. The task is daunting, and I love its fierce demands.read more
Preaching is, first of all, an act of the heart. In the biblical tradition, the heart is center of experience and decision-making. It embraces the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. It is embodied and incarnational as well as intellectual. Good preaching moves the preacher and congregation alike. The pastor dances with the text through his or her bodily movements as well as lively ideas. The goal of the sermon is not to provide a final destination, but as philosopher Alfred North Whitehead says, to invite congregants to be part of an "adventure of the spirit."read more

A number of mechanisms have been created for controlling entity visibility. As with most language concepts in computer science, visibility control mechanisms have been developed in an essentially ad hoc fashion, with no clear indication given by their designers as to how one proposed mechanism relates to another. This paper introduces a formal model for describing and evaluating visibility control mechanisms. The model reflects a general view of visibility in which the concepts of requisition of access and provision of access are distinguished.This model provides a means for characterizing and reasoning about the various properties of visibility control mechanisms. Specifically, a notion of preciseness is defined in this paper. The utility of the model is illustrated by using it to evaluate and compare the relative strengths and weaknesses, with respect to preciseness, of the visibility control mechanisms found in Algol60, Ada, Gypsy, and an approach we have developed, called PIG, that specifically addresses the concerns of visibility control in large software systems.

All Day Lyrics - Propain
I woke up this this day high
Drill niggers and they bagging paper like ha
From the gold to purple and it's not the light
It's like what?
Play your shit, now you're drunk you're popping
Imma pick the role with that college doctor
From the time the hustle life whole without it
If you talk compulsive, I'm the horse you saddle
She's so...and he grab the pear
You niggers make believe you niggers can't compete
You niggers pay your fees
I'm on to she, what is the major league?
Born to lure without change the wind nigger
I have 3 almighty to the...bitch nigger
But Imma bob the paper I don't play for 6
You want the head, I'm like the faster head
sponsored linksI bitch leave them real, I resurrect the pain
And now them haters talk shit but their game is none
I ain't talking real never played the one
Start with a little try to maintain the course
Now a six figure nigger
Wish they would try to step in my shoes
If Imma do more money, hoe you got me confused
With some other guy
Bitch that ain't me
Bitch you can get this day but conversation ain't free
Imma hustle for that paper, bitch we bought that all day
Got that time we hit the spot
We show it up
Nigger know we ride and get it in the town
I pull up in a ...business and I pull up in a two seated
Started my career with a nigger named ...now I
New end up around here
We got something to say around here
Another beefer , nigger propane only got Joes around here
I win head nasty, I get you,
Another hundred thousand that's where I'm going today
Cameras flashing, they coming for me and my people
But you and your hoe aren't' welcome around here
And I go hard when I'm in there, I take one of my niggers
If you really think one of these other member stay...
Rappers booking shows now
Caused they ain't get no more shows money
I appreciate that deposit check
You know you ain't getting that back from me
Another club got another club...
If it's beef my nigger just come to my city
That's the shit and just ask for it
I'm a gangsta, when you come to Huston
If you ain't a gangsta better fall back
So I stay on post better feel in
So now all my people that's independent
Roll come home fill them into me
Wish they would try to step in my shoes
If Imma do more money, hoe you got me confused
With some other guy
Bitch that ain't me
Bitch you can get this day but conversation ain't free
Imma hustle for that paper, bitch we bought that all day
Got that time we hit the spot
We show it up
Nigger know we ride and get it in the town
Yeah man, you know I can recall vividly man
Standing on that corner man you know...
Hand full of rocks man...
I'm talking about 30-40 slap
And here you are
50-60 dollars with the rocks in your hands
Seemed so far away man
Seemed like we'd never make it
Yeah I remember all those girls man
Standing in the front of the high school
We going at it asking for they phone numbers
And all this was based on slaying man
And that's where slayer means something

Can we live without a religion?
Many people associate the word religion to Islam , Christianity or Judaism
but religion word is much more than that
religion in short form is a "life style " believe or not
your life style is your religion
religion is a template with Basic fields
Who Made life ?
Why he made ?
What he want from you? in other word how should we spend our time in this word ?
any answers to the above question will form a religion regardless of the answers
Who Made life ? no one
Why he made ? I don't know
What he want from you? No thing
how should we spend our time in this word ? as I wish

Jul 21 2011: Yes, anyone who wants to can, to each their own.
In my eyes your comparing apples and oranges, if James didnt know who the owner of the home was then he could go and shake Tony's hand and see that he is a physical being. If some one asked if God is real and i replied no, then they said well here he is, come shake his hand, they would remove all doubt.
AbdelRahman Siddig said "GOD does not explain every thing to us but he explained in clear details which path we should walk into to escape from hell and enter haven" GOD does not explain anything directly to us but more on the lines of vicariously through many disciples who wrote in a book in their own words years after the death of his son

Wherefore art thou, button?
"How are you my pet?" inquired the dressmakers's dummy of the dark pink dress sitting upon her. The dummy, you see, had begun to get a little worried about her. Mostly clothes were put upon her, left for a day or two and then hung up in the wardrobe, finished and blissfully happy about being able to claim their place sartorially. But this dress had been on her for a week or more now, and the happy mumurmings about being made and how lovely her matching lining was had ebbed off until little more than silence was had.
"Oh", said the dress somewhat listlessly. "I'm fine, I suppose. Just waiting to be finished up. I've been occupying myself these long, dragging hours with silently reciting Shakespeare."
"Shakespeare!" said the dummy. "Well, my dear, in times of trial much comfort can be found for us in the wise and knowing words that the great have left behind. But fret not - I'm sure you'll have your very own place in the wardrobe in no time."
"I guess so", said the dress, "but the Bard does keep my anxious mind busy. Would you like to hear me recite?"
"Of course" said the dummy, who considered herself to be quite the literary sort.
The dress cleared her throat, and then launched into verse passionately: "My button! My button! My kingdom for a button!" So vehement was her delivery that the dummy found herself wobbling about on her stand.
"Withdraw, my dear!" said the dummy when she finally regained her balance. "We all like a bit of Richard III, but I believe he's asking for a horse."
"Who cares what he is asking for!" cried the dress. "All I want for is a button, and then I'll be out there being worn like the rest of the dresses. But instead I'm stuck here, a wee buttonless orphan. Talk about a summer of discontent!"

Joe Biden has such power over evolution he might make an amoeba get up and walk. Three days ago the vice president announced on Meet the Press that he supported same-sex couples getting married.

The first African-American president became the first ever to announce his support for same-sex marriage. This is a landmark civil rights moment that happened awfully fast.

Words are not life. Words have their utility in living life, but mere education of words is not the education of life. Then what happens is that there is a great pile of words.. An educated man ends up having no other wealth than that of words. He is as idiotic as any uneducated person. There is only one difference between them, and that is that in addition the educated man falls into the illusion that he is not an idiot. He remains just as ignorant about all other dimensions of life as any tribal man from the jungles. He has no understanding whatsoever about the art of living, he has no idea of the paths along which to live life. He has no acquaintance with life at all. What do libraries and books have to do with life? There is no need to commit the mistake of thinking that one who is familiar with a classroom is familiar with life. And it is necessary to keep in mind that life may not even give a clay medal to one who has won a gold medal in the university.
The education of words, mere accumulation of words, mere wealth of words, certainly becomes a weight on the brain but neither does it make the brain free, nor alive, nor thoughtful, nor does it provide any originality in looking at life, nor does it give the art of living or teach ways of living. So far, this is what we have been calling education! The sick, insane and ill man we see today is the result of this education.
Do you know that as his education grows, man goes on becoming more perverted? The uneducated man had a kind of balance and health which is missing in the educated man. The aboriginals of the forests had a kind of beauty, a kind of music, a bliss. There was a meaning and purpose in their life which is missing in the educated man.
It is really amazing. Are we becoming educated at the cost of losing bliss? Is our capability and fitness to experience bliss declining? Are we breaking contact with the roots of our life? If we look at the educated man with unbiased eyes which is difficult because we are also educated men, so it is with great difficulty that we are able to see an educated man's diseases. Where there is the same disease prevalent all over the place, it is very difficult to recognize it.
We are all educated, not only educated but we are also the educators; we are the people who spread and impart that same education. It will be very difficult for us to see.very difficult for us to think that what we are spreading is not making man healthy. But those who have eyes and those who have not lost their entire intelligence in going through this education those people may be able to see a few things.
America is the most educated country, but the largest number of mad people is also in America. Is there some relationship between the two, or is it just accidental? The countries which are becoming more and more educated, the mental tension of their people is growing in the same proportions. Are we aware of these statistics or not? The more educated a country becomes, the more cases of suicide it has. In America itself, every day some one and half to three million people seek treatment for mental ailments. These are government statistics, and we know well that government statistics are never correct. If so many people are seeking mental treatment every day, then we know that it is not because of some individual difficulty, rather some collective disease is entering man's mind.

Political cartoonist and JLP support 'Clovis' smears gays, PNP…
The People's National Party (PNP) has claimed victory over the incumbent Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) in today's parliamentary elections in Jamaica. The post-result political analyses are best left for others. For me, I find it encouraging that homophobic campaigning against the PNP in reaction to its stated position on equal rights for gays to serve in parliament, and a review to repeal the buggery law, clearly made no impact on the majority of voters today.
If it's not political suicide in Jamaica, I can't imagine it being so anywhere else in the Caribbean.

I challenge you to watch this music video by Trinidadian soca star Shurwayne Winchester and to tell me that he and his creative team aren't idiots.
Let's be frank about it.
In the intro to this controversial flick, which I've only just seen, a locked container filled with women comes to Trinidad from Cuba, a thug pays off a dealer for the cargo, and the gang of newly-purchased humans go on to pole dance in bars for Winchester's pleasure. It's so stupid that you'd laugh, if only the depiction of human trafficking and dehumanised women wasn't so stark.
Who does that? It also doesn't help that Trinidad & Tobago was criticised in the latest UN Report on Trafficking in Persons for not fully complying with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking.
Winchester later issued a half-assed statement on the matter saying that he had no direct control of the scripting of the introductory scene, and has since cut it from the official video.
Adding insult to injury, the national flag of Trinidad & Tobago - Winchester's own country - is upside down for the entire video.
Shame, Shurwayne.

The thorny, yet delicate issue of showing tolerance to politicians with homosexual or gay tendencies has become more topical in recent years, with claims of irregular conduct among members on both sides of the Jamaican political fence.
The fact that this question is even being asked says a lot. I can't even be moved to comment any further, but you can read more at the Jamaica Observer.

This is heart-warming. ABC Primetime staged a scene in a Texan restaurant in which an actress bashed actors pretending to be gay parents, in order to test how regular people would respond. The results were shocking. A similar set up, this time with racial bashing in a New York restaurant, was similarly surprising.
Yay for humanity.

A video has emerged that shows four Uruguayan troops from the UN's mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) drunkenly laughing as they rape an 18 year old Haitian boy.
MINUSTAH, by the way, is in Haiti to "restore a secure and stable environment, as well as to promote and to protect human rights."
In his excellent commentary, The Guardian's Mark Weisbrot questioned, "is this MINUSTAH's Abu Ghraib moment?" It may be, but will anything change?
Already, a Uruguayan navy lieutenant has confirmed the authenticity of the video, but allegedly called the abuse "a game" and said it was not sexual in nature. "It's a young guy who is normally around here, like these people," he said, pointing to a Haitian family sitting outside their home twenty yards away. He said the soldiers engaged in "some kind of bullying, but nothing more."

In many Mac programs (and indeed, in Outlook for Windows), you can right-click (or Ctrl-click) somewhere to open a new window. For example, in Outlook for Windows, you could be viewing your mail, then want to view your calendar in a separate window, while your mail window remains open. You could then right-click on 'Calendar.' Up would come a contextual menu with the option 'Open In New Window.' Click it, and you've got two views.
But in Outlook for Mac 2011, if you right-click on Calendar while you're viewing Mail, nothing happens. No visible option appears to open your Calendar in a new window. But lucklily, there's an easy workaround.
While viewing Mail, instead of right-clicking on Calendar, do this: Right-click on any other mail folder (it doesn't matter which one). Outlook will give you a contextual menu, including 'Open In New Window,' which allows you to open that mail folder in a new window.
From that point, you can click whatever you were looking to have open in a new window. Calendar, for example, or anything else. Now you have two windows open; one for your mail, and one your calendar. Same thing applies for any other windows: Tasks, Notes, Contacts, other folders, etc.
In summary, you only seem to be able to use 'Open In New Window' on other mail folders, but luckily, once those windows are open, you seem to be able to navigate wherever you want to go in them.
[crarko adds: I haven't tested this one. I don't actually have Office 2011 myself and am trying to switch over to using iWork as much as I can.]

BOSTON – The Boston Bruins could have clinched the division with a win against the Ottawa Senators in the last regular season game; instead the black and gold fell to the Sens and settled themselves in the fourth seeded spot.
"We tried," said Zdeno Chara. "It's always a goal for us to finish as high as we can, we don't take it lightly. We take a lot of pride in that, but at the same time we still have the home ice advantage of the first round. So, we got to get ready for the second part of the season."
In the lone Original Six matchup of the opening round of the playoffs, the Bruins will face off against the Toronto Maple Leafs in the playoffs for the first time since 1974.
"It's always fun, it's two of the biggest hockey markets going at it," said Shawn Thornton. "Maybe not as classic a rivalry as a Montreal-Boston, or Toronto-Montreal I guess, but I think whenever you have two original six teams going at it and they haven't been in it for a while, so I know they're going to be pretty jacked up, up there."
This season, the Bruins have been largely successful winning three out of the four games that they have have played against the Leafs this season, including it's most recent game against them, a 3-2 victory back in March.
The Bruins had started off the season very strong, losing only 12 games in the month of January, February, and March. As of late the Bruins offense and the rest of the team have contributed to having lost eight of their last 14 games in the month of April. A large part of the problem is the Bruins' inability to get the puck to the net.
"It's pretty simple," said head coach Claude Julien. "You've got to get your nose a little dirtier, and you've got to have the confidence to shoot. Even just last night, we had five scoring chances off-net. If you don't hit the net, you don't score. We have to hit the net."
Even though they failed to beat the Senators, plenty of good came out of the win. Despite the Bruins being notoriously bad on the power play, Rich Peverley got the offense that is ranked 26th in the league in the power play moving with a goal on the man advantage in the second period.
Also on the offensive side of things for the Bruins, Milan Lucic, who has had his struggles this season, looked much better on the ice during Sunday's matchup. The Bruins' bruiser started to put things together bringing the physical toughness and energy that had been lacking through much is his play this far.
Lucic got into a fight with Ottawa's Chris Neil with a little less than three minutes to go in the first period. For the first time in quite a while, he brought the Garden crowd to its feet, cheering his name in unison. He topped off his performance with his 20th assist of the season 19 seconds into the final period. Lucic also had 17 minutes on ice, which has been the most he has had since the Bruins played the Buffalo Sabers on April 17.
The Bruins' minds seemed to be focused on the upcoming playoffs, and moving past the loss. The Bruins are no stranger to the postseason, having won the cup only two years ago, but don't expect them to rest on their laurels.
"Just because we accomplished something two years ago doesn't mean it's going to be automatic," said Thornton. "We should have that anger and hunger that we haven't been as good as we were, so I'm more focused on trying to prove it again."
Awards and Recognition:
A few Bruins also received some hardware for the end of the season awards prior to the game against Ottawa. Bruins center Patrice Bergeron received the most awards, picking up the Elizabeth Dufresne Trophy for his outstanding performance during home games at the Garden, the Eddie Shore Award for hustle and determination, and the second star award for the season.
Bruins forward Gregory Campbell received the John P. Bucyk Award for his work with charity. Tuukka Rask, who ranks third in the league in save percentage (.929) and first in the league in shutouts with five, received the first star of the season. Tyler Seguin received the third star of the season.

I've been hiking the Rockies in this shirt for awhile now, and it has become like a second skin on cooler days. This shirt is as s oft as can be, warm without being too hot, and perfect as base or all by itself. It fits an athletic figure well and is not too tight or loose. I also like it as a casual about the town shirt as well. I highly recommend it.

I'm happy when I wear it. Easy to layer, quick to dry and nice warmth. I really love the stretch. I have last year's model which looks a bit different, with the pronounced thumb holes and pocket on the hip.

I guess that makes sense.
That's a different matter from having your patriotism questioned for not getting behind every war. I'm in complete agreement with you that the people who never have anything good to say about America are tiresome at best. One of the things that drove me out of the Democratic Party was that I got sick of the blame-America-first negativity I was encountering with far too many people on the left. Surrounded by people who made snide comments about my country, wanted to ignore the Second Amendment, and opposed even the most modest restrictions on abortion made me feel like I was from another planet.
Kevin, in MY experience the allegation that people hate America is not because they are against this or that particular war. It is because they despise it's people, focus on the bad rather then the good in history, consider patriotism itself sinister, make up conspiracy theories about America and in general behave as if they, well, hated America.
If someone did nothing but curse me, swear at me, and tell other people about the flaws he perceives in me I would logically conclude that he hated me.
Jason, you and I have very different experiences if you think such an attack is "seldom made." I have actually talked to people who think war protesters are a bunch of "America haters" who should have their heads knocked in. In the earlier, more popular portion of the Iraq War, I heard numerous commentators strongly imply that there was something amiss with one's patriotism for being against the war.
The "love it or leave it" mentality has reared its ugly head far too often in these situations, as if opposing a certain government policy or action means you don't love your country.
And yes, there are also foolish, simple-minded allegations that wars are about little more than blood lust. Some people are incapable of seeing any justification for any war. When such people took to the streets in opposition to our invasion of Afghanistan, I could only shake my head and be thankful that people so extreme that they don't want us to react to a direct attack on our shores were not calling the shots.
Compassion is a progress but we can't lose "suck it up and be a man" either Lee. I am thinking not of VA hospitals(sometimes it seems that soldiers are almost the only manly ones left), so much as the general culture which encourages complaints with a corresponding increase in faction, and a decrease in fortitude not necessarily proportionate to an increase in charity.
Kevin, that claim is seldom made. There have however been plenty of times when people claimed "if you are for a war I am not then you must like bloodshed."
It's also a way to bully people into silence. If you oppose a war I happen to support, you must be anti-America.
My wife's aunt has been dealing with this issue ever since her husband, a Navy SEAL, returned from his fourth (!!!) tour of duty in Vietnam. Nothing quite says "PTSD" like "I could kill you with one blow, and you're really ticking me off right now." Mary has qualified for sainthood many times over, during the last four decades. And much of the attitude of that era, from the VA and others, was "Suck it up and be a man." At least we've progressed past that, even if we have far to go.
And to say, with loud conviction, that you support the troops but oppose the war is to imply that some support both the troops and the war. In fact, no one likes war; it's simply that some support the *aims* of the war, and others do not. Interestingly, soldiers pledge to support the aims of any war in which they become involved. But I resent the implication that some of us willingly put our troops in harm's way, rather than with intense reluctance.
But rather than end on such somber notes, I'll add this, tongue-in-cheekily: If only we'd vote properly this November, that poor naked woman in the photo wouldn't be forced to hold up stores with an assault rifle simply to clothe herself. Happy 4th of Julia.
Quite true, Maureen, but a number of people have also said or seemed to say that it is objectively impossible to support the troops and oppose the war and I think that a dangerous train of thought. It not only denies chivalry, it threatens to forfeit civic responsibility.
Actions and words
@ Kevin -
It's very easy to understand. During the early years of the war I went to counter protest some of those so-called peace rallies/anti-war marches. What I witnessed during those events was our troops condemned and called criminals, the lie promoted that Pres. Bush lied to get us into Iraq ("Bush lied, people died!"), calling him a war criminal, calling our soldiers war criminals, calls for Pres. Bush's impeachment and even death, calling our country evil - on and on I could go.
THAT'S what those who "oppose the war but support the troops" demonstrated, and for YEARS.
Are there some people who truly do support the troops while not supporting the war(s)? Sure. I supported the initial reasons for the wars, but I do not support the idea of "nation building" of nations that have demonstrated again and again that they do not have our interests at heart, or any intention of addressing their own problems.
But the overwhelming majority of those who say they support the troops but oppose the war behaved like my first example, not my second.
Modern people despite all the sneering at "simplifying" are really incapable of complex thought, Anthony. There are for instance a number of people who seem to be offended that old movies often presented Confederate or even German soldiers in a sympathetic manner. Obviously the US Army is not the same thing as the Wehrmacht, but the lack of sympathy is the same.
I think a lot of it is the rejection of the old gentleman's code. That had a lot of harmful traits but they did know how to respect an opponent then.
I agree; there is no reason someone can't oppose a given war while supporting the soldiers.
Some things never change.
"have every one of them a cave or lair to lurk in; but the men who fight and die for Italy enjoy the common air and light, indeed, but nothing else; houseless and homeless they wander about with their wives and children. And it is with lying lips that their imperators exhort the soldiers in their battles to defend sepulchres and shrines from the enemy; for not a man of them has an hereditary altar, not one of all these many Romans an ancestral tomb, but they fight and die to support others in wealth and luxury, and though they are styled masters of the world, they have not a single clod of earth that is their own."
-recorded by Plutarch
I agree with you 100% Kevin. I'm not a war supporter of any kind, but in the past I have had no problem with assisting in drives to send our soldiers care packages and mail. I hate when overly-patriotic zealots accuse me of being anti-America because I don't support war but support our brave men and women in uniform. Really?
It's certainly not an easy thing to understand, Kevin. But one has to take into account the attitudes and behavior of so many who state that they "support the troops." There are few clearer examples of the old trope that actions speak louder than words, than the kind of person who loudly proclaims that he or she "supports the troops" while simultaneously doing everything possible to make the troops feel like dirt. And there are such people everywhere, and there have been for a long time. Think of the contradictions of the Vietnam era, where some returning soldiers were driven to despair, and worse, by actions taken by those who, in their own estimation, were all about peace, love, and understanding.
It's one thing to say you "support the troops." It's another to live it. Chuck Colson understood that. So many others do not.
One thing that irked me in an otherwise thoughtful piece was the writer's strange belief that there's some sort of contradiction in saying you oppose a war but are pulling for the troops. Why do some people have a hard time grasping that concept? The late Chuck Colson came to oppose the continuation of our involvement in Afghanistan. Did that mean he no longer supported the troops? That's ridiculous.

are saying about our ALPR:
View All Testimonials Click Here
ELSAG North America is part of Selex ES, a Finmeccanica company.
ALPR Products and Solutions > Mobile Plate
Hunter - 900
License Plate Reader
ELSAG NA's Automatic
License Plate Reader (ALPR)
system, the Mobile Plate Hunter-900 (MPH-900) can be mounted to patrol
cars capturing license plate numbers during entire shifts. If a suspect
license plate number is read, audible and visual alarms alert the
officer within milliseconds of license plate capture.
Cameras, a processing unit and proprietary software,
allow officers to capture images of license plates and instantaneously
compare them with millions of Hot List records to identify vehicles
of interest. This highly advanced Automatic License Plate Reader
system reads plates day or night, from all 50 States and most foreign
countries including Arabic characters. It can also read other alpha-numeric
identification systems—even from 1500 feet in the air. The MPH-900
ALPR system minimizes the guesswork and safety risks that challenge
officers every day.
The MPH-900 has unique capabilities, many of which
are much more advanced than features of other mobile ALPR systems.
CarSystem 6: Expect More From Your ALPR System
CarSystem 6 is the latest version of ELSAG's in-vehicle user interface. This application monitors the activity of the ALPR cameras connected to the onboard PC. It gives the user a view of the license plates being read, alarms generated by those reads when compared against hot lists, and reports the status of the system. CarSystem 6 can also be installed on a fixed camera and reviewed remotely.
Features of CarSystem 6:
• More intuitive use interface
• Greater hot list flexibility
• Expanded mapping
• New Officer's notes field for capturing real-time information
• New pending alarm view
• Enhanced reporting at the vehicle level
• New image zoom capabilities
• Easy hot list reference
Digital Camera Technology.
The MPH-900 ALPR's digital cameras see more than
analog cameras do. Compared to the analog cameras
used by all other ALPR systems, images taken by the MPH-900's digital
cameras capture nearly twice the physical area—the sweet spot—and
that means more information for law enforcement. While images taken
with analog cameras show little more than the license plate, MPH-900
ALPR cameras show the plate, a significant portion of the car and
part of the car's surroundings—day or night and in any weather. This
visual information can greatly aid investigations.
The MPH-900 ALPR takes "progressive scan" images, which present a better quality image than competitive technology using the "interlace scan" method. Progressive scans are digital and license plate images are read and captured one line at a time, sequentially. A progressive scan produces a far clearer read, providing more detail and a larger image area than the analog "interlaced scans" used by competitive ALPR systems. With interlaced scans, the camera can only record every other line of the license plate over two separate scans. In a final step, the system weaves the two scans together to form one complete image.
The Mobile Plate Hunter-900 operates behind the
scenes on the in-car computer allowing officers to keep their hands
on the wheel and eyes on the scene.
When the MPH-900 reads a license plate number that
matches a 'Hot List' file, officers are alerted immediately. The
alert communicates the nature of the crime or infraction associated
with the plate so officers understand the risks associated with the
situation before ever getting out of the car and can prepare for
safe interdiction
Real time technology of the MPH-900 greatly increases
the odds of resolving issues and in severe situations, can be the
difference between life and death. Our advanced License Plate Reader
Criminal Intelligence Capabilities of the
MPH-900 ALPR System
The MPH-900 captures thousands of license plates
during a shift. Data recorded for each includes date and time stamp,
photo of the vehicle and its immediate area, and GPS coordinates.
After –action analysis of this data from relevant periods of time
can lead to:

Five Things I Didn't Expect in the Second Trimester
This list was a little harder to come up than the five things I didn't expect in the first trimester because the second trimester was like a 8 on the scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being so easy I forgot I'm pregnant and 1 being child birth. But, nonetheless, there were still a few things I didn't expect.
- The hair on my stomach turned black. BLACK, I tell you! I've always had blonde hair on my arms, legs and stomach, but for some reason, my stomach hairs have switched to the dark side. Thanks be to grilled cheesus that it's the season for thick sweaters and leggings.
- I can't control my gas. I toot a lot, and I don't even know that I'm going to do it until it's too late. I was feeling pretty embarrassed about my unpredictable bodily functions until a friend of mine told me about the time she was pregnant with #2 and she peed on herself while relaxing on the couch and was convinced it was her 1.5 year old daughter until she checked the daughter's diaper and realized that it was totally dry and that the pee had indeed come from her pregnant bladder. Your body produces lots and lots of a hormone called Relaxin (which sounds like some sort of pharmaceutical to me, but it's au naturale), and it softens everything up in your pelvis region and you lose a little or even a lot of control over what's going on with your organs down there.
- Speaking of peeing, incontinence was something I figured I'd worry about when I'm closer to 71 than 31, or at the very least, after I have a baby. I quickly learned my lesson and if I have the slightest inkling that I need to tinkle, it's time to find a bathroom. stat! God bless my drawers if I sneeze or laugh too hard with anything in my bladder.
- The sheer number of questions and conversations struck up by strangers no matter where I'm at or where I'm going. But, I already covered this one over a month ago and I am NOT going there again.
- Just how much my body has changed to accommodate this tiny person. I feel like every day I see a new change or learn something new that's going on inside. It's really amazing to see nature at work and how every change is designed to grow and support a new life. I'm awe struck every. single, day.
Twelve and half weeks to go!

Tonight Wrexham.com and The Bank Bar will be hosting our first ever Wrexham Tweet Up!
What is #WrexUp, and what is a Tweet Up?
At the time of writing Wrexham.com has around 5,200 followers on twitter. We would like to get a few of those in a room together with some free nibbles and cake, plus you can buy drinks at The Bank's well stocked bar – including Wrexham Lager!
A 'tweet up' is a name for a social event focused around twitterers, however with #WrexUp there is the added theme that we are all interested in Wrexham in some way. If you imagine our twitter feed in 'real life' at the Bank Bar then you wont be far off.
Hopefully it will be a fun relaxing social evening, giving people the opportunity to meet new people and perhaps meet people in the flesh you only talk to on twitter!
Is it businessy, networking or like that?
NO! The idea is for wrexhamites or people interested in Wrexham (thats why you follow @wrexham right?) to meet up in a very relaxed manner. Its not a business meeting, nor is it for people to be suited and booted pressing business cards in everyones hands! There are a few people who run their own business, or run the twitter accounts for companies and they are very much welcome along however we would ask you to treat it as a social evening not a sales event.
Why do it?
Our twitter is full of interesting people, giving a great cross section of people interested in Wrexham. We have been to other similar events around the country and they have worked well. We dont know why its not been done before in Wrexham, so we thought why not give it a go! Hopefully people will have an enjoyable evening and meet some interesting people.
What should I wear/bring/do?
Be yourself, simple as that! You will need to be registered (see below for info!) to get in as we need to keep an eye on numbers but apart from that you dont have to bring or do anything.
Whats the plan then?
We will be at the Bank Bar on the High Street (opposite the Nationwide) from 7pm on August 29th. Pop along anytime from then on to have a drink, nibbles (if there are any left!) and a chat with fellow wrexhamites. You are welcome to come along for two minutes or two hours – whatever you like – the aim is to be social
The Bank Bar does have Wrexham Lager on tap as well…!
This is a ticketed event, as if we make it an open invite in theory 4500 people could turn up. There are 100 tickets available , and you need to be 18 or over to come along.
Tickets are £2 and we will produce a custom nametag for you. There will be a few platters of nibbles provided, but that is first come first served!
We are using Twtvite to sort the ticketing, so please click here: http://twtvite.com/wrexhamdotcom to secure your ticket now!
If you want to bring a friend who doesn't use twitter, or does but doesn't follow us (why not?!) then get them a ticket as well and they are more than welcome!
Discuss this with fellow wrexhamites our Wrexham Forums. Other recent threads on the forums include:
Planning Meeting

Emporia State University, Emporia, Kansas, Masters of Science, 1984
Research Interests:
My main research interests lie at the intersection of behavioral ecology, population genetics and speciation. Specifically, I am interested in processes that control genetic divergence among populations and the contributions of these processes to local adaptation and speciation. My work investigates mechanisms causing divergence among natural populations and addresses questions regarding gene flow and its influence on phylogenetic relationships among populations and closely related species. In my research, I apply molecular techniques to phylogeny reconstruction and use these phylogenies to address a variety of issues of significance in evolutionary ecology.

After a short break the WebMission is back in San Francisco first week of June 2013 !
It has been a tradition every year since 2009 to bring to San Francisco a group of Belgian entrepreneurs to visit the hottest startups in the Bay Area, meet successful entrepreneurs and pitch to the local crowd. Following the first WebMission a large flock of Belgians have set their roots in the US and launched great startups like Storify, Checkthis, Twitspark and we've heard that there is more to come.
This year the WebMission will be preceded by a special program at the SiliconHouse in Mountain View organised by Paul Stasse and Tanguy Peers (only 8 places available, 2800€ participation fee), and will also take place at the same time than the Mission Princière. We are restricting the application to 25 participants with a small commitment fee up to the participant to support the organisation.
The WebMission will take place the first week of June starting on the 3rd. The program is not finalised yet and will evolve depending on the suggestions we get from the participants, you can have a look at the previous trips to get a better idea of what a typical WebMission in San Francisco looks like.
If you'd like to help in the organisation drop us an email at email@example.com

VM Body and Health goes a step further than most massage centers: its staff offer eight massage classes dedicated to teaching the finer points of specific modalities. But clients can still receive their choice of 10 available styles from both the East and West, reflecting founder Juan Carlos Villanueva's passion for traditional Chinese medicine. His interest has taken him throughout Asia to study the continent's indigenous bodywork concepts, resulting not only in Asian massage options at his center but also acupressure and reflexology classes that introduce students to the basics of performing each modality. In addition to massage, staff members host classes and lectures on various aspects of whole-body health, including yoga, nutrition, and the hokey pokey.
At City Massage & Bodywork, nationally certified massage therapists help clients unwind physically and mentally with massage techniques including soothing Swedish strokes, deep tissue?s targeted kneads, and the simmering stress relief of hot-stone therapy. Massage upgrades such as aromatherapy and sauna sessions extend relaxation to other senses and sensations. The spa takes care to only book a few clients for each therapist each day, ensuring they don?t deplete their own energy reserves or run out of nicknames for each person?s individual muscles.
Conveniently located in Tysons Corner Center Mall, Modern Nail Studio has everything the modern nail needs. Unlike old-fashioned nails, modern nails appreciate a classy atmosphere and mood lighting, details that Modern Nail Studio delivers. Clean lines and a neutral palette paint Modern Nail Studio into the 22nd century, and indulgent, oversized pedicure chairs with headrests give the owners of the modern nail a much needed break from their taxing days working as taxidermists of tax collectors. Translucent curtains fall gently from the ceiling, dispersing the pendant lighting throughout the cozy boutique.
