The Bank of England left its stimulus program unchanged as officials assess recent signs of strength in the economy after it returned to growth in the first quarter.
Armed with new quarterly forecasts, the nine-member Monetary Policy Committee kept the target for asset purchases at 375 billion pounds ($584 billion), as forecast by all but one of 44 economists in a Bloomberg News survey. The decision followed BOE Governor Mervyn King's penultimate meeting before he is replaced by Bank of Canada chief Mark Carney on July 1.
Some surveys suggest the recovery is building momentum after the economy grew in the first quarter, and the National Institute for Economic and Social Research estimated today that gross domestic product rose 0.8% in the three months through April. Still, strains in the euro area that prompted a European Central Bank interest-rate cut last week might support the case for further stimulus.
"The U.K. data flow over the past month has been pretty good," said James Knightley, an economist at ING Bank NV in London. "We still feel that the recovery will be slow and the U.K. remains vulnerable to external shocks, particularly from the euro zone, so there is the potential for further stimulus."
A report earlier showed U.K. industrial production increased 0.7% in March, more than economists predicted. Manufacturing rose 1.1%, also exceeding forecasts.
The pound slipped 0.2% to $1.5506 as of 3:37 p.m London time, having earlier risen as much as 0.4%. The yield on the 10-year gilt was little changed at 1.77%.
Stocks Surge
The central bank also kept its key interest rate at a record low of 0.5%, which was forecast by all 52 economists in a separate poll. Minutes of the meeting, showing how officials voted, will be published May 22.
The British Chambers of Commerce said the BOE was right not to expand stimulus again and that it should use other measures to support business lending.
"Adding to QE would only provide marginal benefits for the economy, while increasing the risks of higher inflation and bubbles," BCC Chief Economist David Kern said in a statement.
King and Markets Director Paul Fisher had voted for a 25 billion-pound increase since February, joining David Miles in a push for more quantitative easing.
Since then, the economy has shown some signs of strength. Activity at services businesses improved in April, while slumps in manufacturing and construction eased, according to surveys last week. The FTSE 100 Index has risen 12% this year and reached its highest in more than five years today.
Credit Program
Those recent signs may have reinforced the position of the six-member majority on the MPC that has been resisting King's push to expand QE on concern that such a move may stoke inflation expectations. Consumer-price growth was 2.8% in March, above the BOE's 2% target.
Nevertheless, with the economic recovery not yet assured, the BOE and the U.K. Treasury expanded their Funding for Lending Scheme last month to boost credit to small- and medium-sized businesses. British Prime Minister David Cameron said today that the FLS has been "effective."
In its statement, Niesr said its GDP estimate was inflated by the weak level of output in January. "Underlying growth is weaker than the headline figure suggests," it said.
More Stimulus
Other major central banks are adding to stimulus. The Reserve Bank of Australia cut interest rates this week and Poland's central bank lowered its benchmark yesterday.
The ECB cut its key rate to a record low of 0.5% on May 2 and extended a policy of unlimited bank lending to mid-2014 to help pull the economy out of a recession. The U.S. Federal Reserve said the previous day it will continue bond purchases until the labor market improves "substantially."
The International Monetary Fund forecasts the U.K. economy will expand 0.7% this year, while inflation will average 2.7%. The U.S. will expand 1.9%, it said. The BOE will release new forecasts in its Inflation Report on May 15.
The forecasts might include a reduction in the outlook for the peak of inflation this year, according to BNP Paribas SA economist David Tinsley. In February, the BOE said that inflation would reach 3.2% in the third quarter.
At the same time, threats to the recovery remain. The euro- area economy, Britain's biggest export market, will shrink 0.3% this year, according to the IMF. William Morrison Supermarkets Plc, the smallest of the U.K.'s four main supermarket chains, said today that it is "cautious on the economic environment and consumer spending."
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne, who says his strategy is "fiscal responsibility and monetary activism," has laid the groundwork for Carney. He broadened the BOE's remit to allow it more flexibility to add to stimulus and asked it to review the merit of forward policy guidance. Carney has said that central banks aren't "maxed out."
"Recent economic indicators have been more upbeat and the U.K. escaped the dreaded triple-dip recession, but economic growth remains far from 'escape velocity'," said Victoria Clarke, an economist at Investec Securities in London. "We see this as something Mr. Carney will push to achieve."

It's nearing 8:00am we are in an industrial parking lot in Sausalito, two days before Stage One of the Tour of California. Aaron Erbeck, in a helmet and bib shorts, is scrunched-up and peeing into a bush watching the traffic on Bridgeway Drive. Behind him, a first ever Rapha Continental ride with customers is about to begin. A 105-mile 'Gentlemen's Race' inspired by Stage One of the Tour of California, we mapped a route promising miles, scenery, climbing, and hoping to deliver some mid-February glory. Twenty-six Bay Area Rapha customers and friends are standing around a red sixteen passenger van with arm warmers on, water bottles topped-off, messenger bags and backpacks tossed over seats, helmets located, pockets stuffed with fig newtons, wives kissed and dinner plans foolishly made – quick introductions and light conversation, all coming to a hurried finish. Mingling among them are the ride's hosts, four West Coast Rapha Continental Team riders, the first member of the East Coast Team, Slate Olson the new General Manager of Rapha, two local riders, Kathryn and Murphy, and Rapha's Creative Director over from London.
Slate gathered everyone around - "Ok, so the ride starts by going up the side of Tam on a gravel section that shouldn't be a problem, then we take Seven Sisters down to Alpine Lake, then up through Fairfax and Nicasio Valley to Marshall Wall, up the One to Coleman Valley Road until dropping finally into Occidental. It's about a ten thousand foot day and a little over a century, so pace yourself and stay hydrated so you don't get weird on us. Some of you are turning around about half-way and riding back to the City. The rest of you, put whatever you want in the van for the ride home. Murphy and the Continental guys will lead us out. Keep your helmet on and don't get lost."
Clack and clip-clack-clack, clip-clip-clack, the parking lot is empty.
Twenty suburban minutes into the ride and the group approaches a gate and the first major climb. Old Railroad Grade is a six-mile fire road with a short descent at the end before reaching the top of Mt. Tamalpais. It's rideable on 23's and nano-technology but it does require skill, some luck and a lot of determination. And, as if to deter everyday roadies from a truly hardman experience, it starts sharper and rockier than it really is. Once into the body of the climb, lines are easily found and the gravel thins to hard pack dirt. The glory of riding road bikes up Tam, the birthplace of mountain biking, was palpable, and our hearts would warm with each passing down-hiller on a full-suspension rig and full-face helmet. That said, one of us went down hard and we lived in fear of flatting. Towards the top, we left the trees and overhead cover for a classic California fire road scene – endless khaki switchbacks and big views of the valley, Golden Gate Bridge and the Pacific Ocean below.
At the top, eight miles into the ride with wheels firmly planted on pavement, we regrouped, watered and dropped onto a road that instantly opened to views of the Pacific on the left and rolling light green grassy ridges and hillsides on the right. Ahead, Seven Sisters (aka. Seven Bitches if you climb it in the opposite direction), a series of major rolling drops, undulated downhill along what felt like the world's tallest retaining wall. We all dove like racecars, one after the other, in the drops and leaning to the left, in the drops and leaning to the right, again and again. The combination of salty air, color, and scale made the surroundings appear fake and too perfect, almost like a massive movie set or model and the sun was shinning on us as if on cue. Then with a blink, we all disappeared into the darkest and densest of forests imaginable. Our eyes adjusted on old growth cedar trees and a mossy patina covering everything. The road was suddenly rippled, busted and covered in branches and leaves. One at a time, we all blew through the apex of the first dark and sketchy turn as we began our three-mile descent to Alpine Lake.

"It took a few minutes for the reality of the first hour to sink in. I'm not sure why it surprised me so much; I'd enjoyed reading about the unpaved sections the Continental guys had ridden in Oregon. I guess I just didn't think it would happen to me. And now, I know you can ride a road bike just about anywhere if you have to."
– Michael Robertson
"We ride this section all the time on our road bikes. It's THE way to climb Tam and sure it's rocky in places but epic doesn't come out of a machine for fifty cents, you don't get epic free with a car wash. But seriously, it was a pleasure to lead a bunch of roadies into the dirt."
– Murphy Mack

Review: Customize media labels using Disketch CD Label Software for Mac
Users with a large collection of disc media might want a way to customize labels for easier identification. Despite its dated interface, Disketch CD Label Software for Mac performs well and has a number of features one would expect from similar, more popular programs.
Being a rather light application, at around 634KB Disketch CD Label Software for Mac downloads quickly. After accepting a lengthy user agreement, the app's installation completed without any problems. There were no user instructions or tutorials readily available, but the main menu was intuitive, making this less of an issue. Technical support was also lacking. … Read more

This pruning knife makes a wonderful gift for a woman who is a keen gardener. A great gift for her birthdayThe ladies pruning knife is smaller than the gardeners pocket knife with a slightly curved blade to make taking of cuttings and pruning easier.The blade is made of high-carbon steel which gives the best possible cutting performance and edge, but if left damp it will be prone to rust, so it is best wiped down with an oiled cloth after use.The linings are solid brass to prevent the blade seizing up and the handle is dark brown rosewood, shaped to fit neatly into a woman's hand or pocket. This is a very beautiful and practical knife for gardening.The handle is 8.5cm and the blade is 6.5cm.Made in Sheffield.
Taking care of your ladies pruning knife is not difficult. If it is left damp the blade will be prone to rust, so to keep in top condition simply wipe it down with an oiled cloth after use. And to sharpen it, a few strokes on a steel or or a fine carborundum stone once in a while should do it. Kitchen knife sharpeners will also do the job.

types of pain
December 14, 2009, 04:48:10 AM »
I always expected that OA would feel like a constant ache but for me I find that it manifests in a multitude of aches and pains at various times.
There's the general soreness when you know youve overdone it.
There's the achey feeling
There's the locking up, which probably bothers me the most. This happenes when bending or straightening the leg and it gets to a certain point and feels like all the tendons are stretched really tight and it hurts like hell. This is the one that wakes me all night long.
There's the wierd nervey type of pains which can shoot out from the point of origin. Which can feel like burning or spasming or pinching. This is the one that defies pain killers.
There's the wierd tightness that can come on suddenly in the back of the knee or on the opposite side to my sore side and shooting pains up the ITB
Just to add to this my limping around has caused chronic bursitis in my hip, and the knee and hip like to gang up on me at the same time. If I stand my knee hurts, if I sit my hip aches....and forget trying to get comfy in bed!
What are other people's experiences?

Yeah, the knee pain manifests in a variety of ways, depending on how it's been abused. The biggest thing to keeping it from affecting the rest of the body is to try and keep as normal a gait as possible. The worst part is now that my other knee's suffered some as yet undiagnosed injury, it's hard to limp on both sides.

Yep, those about sum up my knee (s) too - its also really frustrating that as already said, other bits then hurt because of the knee - lower back, hips, even my ankles hurt sometimes. Then your "good" knee plays up as its doing most of the work. I spent 3 days trying to do "normal" things this week - normal to me now but NOTHING like what I used to - so that was an hour shopping one day, lunch out, an hour at the gym the next day and some supermarket shopping (nothing impact based ay gym, just cycling and upper body weights), and then a trip to the city with about 40 mins walking the day after - last night - fricking agony. Its SO frustrating. I used to walk 15 miles up hills and spend 6 sessions a week training at the gym.
Someone should just develop easy fit, bionic knees that can be slotted into place at a drive-thru unit.

That sums it up in a nutshell, there is no comfort I only pray that after the surgery that I get some relief.

Hi Nikkie
Yep, that sounds sooooo familiar! I get the deep nagging, nawing, toothache-like constant pain 24/7. I also get a sharp catching pain in the medial side of the knee and the lateral posterior side of the other knee, like someone is stabbing a knife into my knee and shooting sharp pains going up and down my leg. I usually end up with pain from my ankles right the way up to my thighs and into my lower back, my hips are giving out now too and thats only if I've overdone it a little, overdo it a lot and I can hardly walk for days - total bummer! choice for me is either be totally spaced out on pain killers or just deal with it, neither option is much fun.

Hi since I wrote on this forum, I have to say my pain has actually improved. It happened by accident really. I got a routine blood test that came back with having a slightly elevated blood sugar. I totally freaked out about being at risk of developing diabetes so I completely changed my diet and lost 15 kilos. Ive since been given the all clear as far as blood sugar is concerned but I continue to monitor my eating habits and keep ther weight down. (I exercise too, but I was doing that before)
Prior to my diet epiphany I was eating a lot of processed food, take away, white flour, white rice, sugar, salt and snacking a lot on chips and chocolate (probably comfort eating to a large extent). I have since gone low gi, lowER (not low) carb, eat lots of 'brown' food, have cut out sugar, limit alcohol and always eat my vegies!
I dont know if its the weight loss or that the diet I had previously was contributing to to inflammation (or both), but I feel it has improved things quite a lot.
At the risk of sounding like a zealot, I can really reccommend eating as healthy a diet as possible!

Well! I havn't been diagnosed with OA yet but my left leg which was my good leg until it got sick of carrying all my weight around waved a white flag and starting protesting bigtime. I have all the same aches and pains along with warmth at nigh and some really horrible clicks that range from little rice crisy noises to big gunshots. This is really weird thougha s I had a huge flare up of these symptoms in May this year and then by the end of July it felt like it was almost normal and things were looking up, but now it is getting nasty again. I'm still hoping its not OA and my GP assures me I don't have RA and most likely don't ahve RSD.

I'm still trying to get to grips with all the different types of pain!! I was only diagnosed 3 months ago and i'm still finding new kinds of pain. I turned sharply y'day and it felt like a red hot poker was being thrust into my knee. Not too bad today though just a dull annoying ache.
The swellin's coming down more daily since i've been using the brace i've been put in, and have been taking less than half the painkillers I was.
I'm just hoping this is the start of it settling down a bit and I don't get any new pain.

I hate the pain that comes at night when I sleep...comes and goes, but that's the worst for me. I am almost bone on bone, but I still get out there and play tennis and paddle tennis, probaby way too much. One doc said I should think about a PKR, but I am going to keep playing until I have to drag my leg around. THEN get a replacement. I can't fathom the idea of not playing tennis at the high level I play now. Today I am going to see a DR about a knee brace to see if that will help and allow me to keep playing. But I will not throw in the towel yet....

Has anyone tried Physiotherapy?? I would recommend it because it really helped me! I am not completely pain free but it has helped to stop the chronic pain.
My physio gave me various different exercises to help re-train my muscles which in turn strengthen the joints....it really has worked wonders! ANy one else had any success with this???

Well, I've been dealing with the pain as well, more of late.
Up until VERY recently, I was able to do CrossFit and have always been into bodybuilding & weightlifting. After doing a few majorly heavy CrossFit WODs, I needed to take a week off-just so I can walk with less pain.
I was curious if anyone has found homeopathic remedies in regard to dealing with the OA? Prolo helped a great deal in the past, but I've found that one needs to keep going for prolo, as there seems to be a "maintenance" aspect to it. Note: after 5 prolo injections, I was able to lift for over a year and do CrossFit for the last 6 months. I think the strenuousness of the CrossFit workouts finally did me in.
Anyway, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed. There's a doc in my health system that does PRP on Achilles injuries. I have an appointment this upcoming week to BEG him to address my knees. I hope he says yes. The cost of the PRP/Prolo specialist I utilize is $800 per shot, per knee. The cost of the doc in my health plan, if he approves? $5 co-pay for each visit. Slight difference there, no?!?

Two OA knees here.....I'm reduced to isometrics and swimming, the pain that really gets me is when I try to ride with the bike club for a short 25 miles and I come home feeling great, energized and then the pain starts up the next afternoon, knees get sore, then my shins commence to hurt to the point that limping is barely possible and it lasts for 4-5 days.
OTOH, I can still teach (thanks to the 5/8" rubber mat that I put in the front of the lab) and I still work as a surveyor on a part time basis, gotta be thankful as we all know there are worse situations than the ones we have.....

Ted, that's true. There are worse situations out there. I think for us, the key is to start addressing these issues NOW, while we have mobility. Even if I have to raid the 401k, I will be looking into everything from PRP to stem cell therapy. If it works, as many are saying it does, I'd rather do that than cut into my legs again. The OA is a direct result of those damn surgeries.

ItBmeFor the last few nightsSat Jun 9, 2012 8:12pm18.104.22.168There has been a beautifully voiced and sang songs in the dark and quiet of the night. All is still except the sounds in the air from a Nightingale that has apparently made his residence in my apartment complex.
I find it so beautiful and almost thrilling to hear such a beautiful melody, I can just lay there, close my eyes and get lost in the sounds and songs he sings. He dies not just have a bird call.... he literally performs a concerto.
I know there are a good number of people in the complex that are complaining about the noise and being kept awake and so on, they fail to see the beauty.

Video: Andrew Tanenbaum on Bugs and Minix' Reincarnation Server
Linux Pro Magazine met the author of numerous standard works in informatics and the most famous Linux critic at the Fosdem in Brussels.
Andrew Tanenbaum teaches at the Free University of Amsterdam and presented his own operating system, Minix 3, at the developer conference (Feb 7-8, 2010).
In the video he talks about his current research into stable operating systems, of the differences and similarities between Minix and Linux and his approach to the community.
Andrew Tanenbaum at FOSDEM
The whole raison d'etre of a PC is the ability to program or change its behaviour via software, so a PC that has a completely fixed set of functionality, like a TV or VCR, would no longer be a general purpose computing machine. However, this programmability should be accomplished via user programs or applications, not by changing the operating system. The operating system should really never change. The main reason the operating system continually changes and evolves is because it is released in an incomplete state, ie before it is finished. One of the biggest problems with the software industry is that no software is ever finished as such - it moves from a lengthy period of continual change direct to obscelence. Or in other words, it is never finished, rather the current version is replaced by yet another continually evolving, bug ridden piece of crap with a new name.
Linux is a classic example of modern software. There are no standardised api's (which many people actually think is an advantage - what are they smoking?), one reason why no applications can ever be written that will run on anything but the current version of the OS. Forget earlier or later versions. New OS - new applications.
Of course with Linux the applications are actually part of the operating system in that they are bundled with it, as a 'distro' - the Linux developers have succeeded in making the whole mess into one continually moving target. If you are someone that values stability and reliability - forget computers, for now at least. Maybe in twenty or thirty years OS's will have settled down. Who knows? Would'nt that be nice.
Minix 3
Good to see someone advancing OS design in 2010. His criticisms of Linux are valid and Linux does violate the most basic rules of computer science (as an un-managed system). Of course, the history of computer science is full of OS's like Minix that never become popular like Linux.
Creating an OS that is very reliable is one thing, but making it attractive to the world is quite another. There's millions and millions of issues you have to solve, like how much software does it run, how well, how fast, how many arches it supports, how much it costs, licensing issues, hw & isv support, how friendly is it (very important!), qualitative desktop, you name it.
So just saying "we'll have a reliable OS" is too little too late. As an example look at Solaris, Sun developed the DTrace and ZFS but the market share of Solaris is still diminishing. So there's so much more for an OS to convince the industry to move to it than just becoming a more reliable Unix.
Bottom line: the biggest problem with this future OS is the (narrow) worldview of its leader (I mean Tanenbaum of course). -
Reincarnation Server
The concept of a "reincarnation server" is an interesting, but I have to disagree with his statement that the user modules would not disrupt the system if they had to be restarted.
The path leading up to the module being "hung" or failing might have set the state of the total system to a point where it has provided to the user (or to the rest of the system) an incorrect or incomplete answer. Just "killing" the module and re-starting it would not correct the over-all problem or over-all state of the system or the guarantee the right answer to the end user. -
"Automobiles never have these problems"
While I admit that "consumer" products like televisions and microwave ovens tend to be more "stable" then general purpose operating systems, they are built to a specific set of components, to do a specific job with specific inputs.
As to to his analogies about automobiles, yes people do replace carburettors and other parts to get more efficiency (the "hackers" of the car world), and for reliability....perhaps he has never heard of Toyota.

The Crystal Engine PRO instantly processes the huge amount of data that goes into Full-HD images, and further enhances Full-HD quality. It produces smooth, high-resolution zoom shots even when the range exceeds the limit for optical zooming. Crystal Engine PRO clearly delineates even the tiniest details of your subject, with extremely natural beauty. In addition, its Noise Reduction (NR) technology has been completely redesigned. The low-frequency noise that occurs when recording in dim lighting has been further minimized. Compared to previous Panasonic models, noise has been reduced by approximately 40%.
The Intelligent Resolution Technology incorporated in the Crystal Engine PRO uses edge detection technology to confirm the edges of objects within the image, then emphasizes the edges for optimal clarity. For example, it brings crisp definition to patterns and the outlines of objects like flowers. Conversely, it reduces noise and enhances the natural smoothness of parts without edges, like the sky. The increased sharpness is especially effective for images with delicate details. This highly advanced technology maximizes the beauty of Full-HD images.
1080/60p recording (Full-HD, 1,920 x 1,080, 60 progressive recording) conveys about twice the information of 1080i (interlace) recording. Fast-moving subjects, such as in sports scenes, are smoothly recorded. The progressive recording of the V0/V0M fully complies with the AVCHD Progressive standard.
HYBRID O.I.S. + uses five-axis correction to thoroughly suppress blurring all the way from wide-angle shots to powerful zoom shots. It also achieves superb effects when shooting while walking. This lets you capture crisp, clear images, without blurring, in almost every shooting situation.
The 32.4mm wide-angle* setting fits more people and more of the background into the frame than conventional models. This is especially handy when you want to take a group photo in a small room. It fits your subjects in even when you shoot from up close, and makes it possible to pick up even small sounds with the mic.
Switch the power on and the HD camcorders are in standby mode in approx. 1 second,* ready to shoot when you are. When the LCD is closed, the power automatically switches off. This fast startup and automatic shutdown also help reduce battery consumption. * Depending on the recording conditions, start time may be longer than second.
The V0/V0M lets you record videos in the iFrame. With iFrame, the video in your camera is the same format you'll edit, so it's fast to import and edit with compatible video editing software. iFrame is based on standards, so it works with a number of applications – such as iMovie.
2D images can be easily transformed into 3D images with the 2D to 3D Conversion function. Simply connect the camcorder to a 3D-compatible TV with an HDMI cable. The 2D to 3D Conversion function then uses the image processing capability of the engine to convert 2D images into 3D. This is an easy, casual way to enjoy the excitement of 3D.
The videos you've recorded are easily uploaded to YouTube™ or Facebook™ in their original high quality. HD Writer AE 4.0 lets you share your videos worldwide.

Hypothetically speaking, if you were given a choice to make what would ensure your financial independence but went against your personal convictions would you still do it? If your mother/father told you that they could not grant an inheritance to anyone who didn't believe in god and jebus, and that conversion would be necessary to ensure your eligibility, what would be your response? Let's say half a million dollars is at stake in this decision. Would you stand your ground and remain adamant about your atheism or would you acquiesce and go get baptized? Would playing a charade to ensure a fat bank account cause you mental anguish? Or would the peace of mind in remaining true to oneself outweigh the allure of potential financial gain?
And I realize there is the option of being able to contest a family will/inheritance. But that outcome is not a certainty.
Tags: family, inheritance, will
One of Bertrand Russell's "ten commandment for atheists" that are obviously just suggestions since there aren't concrete "commandments" for anyone, states that you should not lie to others unless they are exercising tyranny over you.
In this case I believe that suggestion applies. Therefore it would not be immoral to me since the immoral situation was created by the family member and not me.
I would make this clear to them and then if they still didn't change their moral stance on it, I might feel justified to lie to them. Just depends on who that person is or what the required religious commitments I would have to make, etc.
So, it is not a clear cut situation but what is clear is that the family member that asks such things from their family members is a bigot and intolerant asshole that is not being reasonable or kind. I also agree with what Wayne says about the money and where it would end up.
"In this case I believe that suggestion applies. Therefore it would not be immoral to me since the immoral situation was created by the family member and not me."
But you're participation in the immoral situation might qualify for "two wrongs don't make a right." The allure of a lot of money makes it tempting and that placing religious conditions on your eligibility might make one vengeful to the point of playing the role. Nonetheless it is still a deception and you have ask yourself about the content of your character.
I'm with Galen. Sure I would, for a chunk of cash. I'd be acting, for money. Substitute Santa for gob and jesus, and it all seems relatively clear. If someone wants me to perform a little pantomime to get paid a lot of cash... pass the facepaint..
If I do something, I won't feel guilty. If I'll feel guilty, I won't do something.
All depends. Truly the best answer i can think of. All depends.
I ain't got nuthin' and don't want nothin', so I'm probably not the one to ask --
Hah. I'm with Strega and Galen. Forget the others. Of course I'd lie. Half a million? Hell yes, as soon as they're dead and the money changes hands I'd be openly back to atheist anyway, what's the problem? Would I have any mental anguish? Haha. Come on people, you gotta be emotionally more resilient than that. You're not lying to anyone important. Maybe if I did have some moral qualms for a couple of seconds I could just take a nap on my big pile of money and feel better. You're still true to yourself when you're acting, or do you think actors feel mental anguish when acting out a movie role? They get payed by their company for acting, similarly I'd get payed by the heritage for my acting. There is easy cash to be made in the field of theology and superstition (same thing really). So that's my plan B anyway. If I can't get a good honest job in life and fail, I'll just go and become a priest or imam and suck the sheepy masses dry of their money. It's my safety net.
And this would be the other --
"You're not lying to anyone important."
What about yourself?
Christians quote the bible as saying, "the wealth of the wicked is laid up in store for the righteous."
Well I say the wealth of the so-called "righteous" is laid up in store for the so-called "wicked".
Adding religious stipulations to an inheritance is discrimination in some sense.
Say you added a stipulation that carried out the lie.. Say the money was in a Trust Fund and you only got it on a monthly basis if you became a preacher and continued to preach the gospel. If you stopped, so would the money. You had to make the people believe in you and keep believing in you and not get voted out.
How many would LIVE this continuous lie for the money?
I know I couldn't do it.

Very fun place to stay and although it is mainly aimed at younger visitors it also caters for the older crowd. Some of the younger too cool for school... hippies gave me the poo's. Sitting around trying to be a little to cool listening to Mob Marley was very cool yes! But I was doing it 25 years ago, and it is nothing new and certainly not very new or cool anymore. The staff are exceptionally polite and there to make you feel welcome and cared for. Anmeldt av en hotels.com-gjest den okt 15, 2012

- " The staff were not helpful at all. There were not enough lockers for the numbers of beds in the room. And the lockers that were available were broken. The bathroom was not cleaned while I was there. The shower head was broken! More lights would be nice. The area was okay if you went right but nothing going left. "
- 01 Oct 2013 Ashley Canada
- " They have lockers, but they don't have locks on them - you have to buy your own, no renting available. The staff was not very helpful. There isn't a lot of communal space to hang out and meet fellow travelers. The place did not feel clean at all. There are only 3 showers for ALL of the people staying in the dorms, they were dirty, and one didn't even have a showerhead. No soap/shampoo/etc. My clothing and towel were stolen from the clothesline and the front desk was unfazed... Don't stay here. "
- 08 Sep 2013 Anonymous USA
- " Stayed here for five nights - one in a private bedroom and four in an 8 bed dorm. Both rooms were extremely dirty, as were the bathrooms and other common areas. There's no real atmosphere here. Several people seemed to be living there and made it their home - very messy. The staff were extremely unhelpful on all counts. I ended up moving to a different hostel for the remainder of my 9 night stay because it became too unbearable. Location is decent, but basically everything else is awful. "
- 19 May 2013 Anonymous Australia
- " I've stayed here twice in a time difference of two years. And I got the same experience. Very good and safe location within 5 min walk to metro. Staff spoke english and did not mind my arrival at 3:00 am. They helped me to find my way to the Great Wall even though their tour was already full (Be sure to book before 9:00 pm of previous day). Room had heater and the showers had warm water (It was -10°C when we arrived). Toilets are dirty and building seems old, but overall is great. "

- " It's a good place for party animals, since the location is not far from several bars and turist places. Unfortunately, the hostel doesn't have nice arrangement for Christmas.. It would be better if you can host parties. "

Dee Dee Pearson, a transgender woman living in Kansas City, Missouri, was murdered this holiday weekend. The transgender community in Kansas City is mourning this tragic loss, and friends and neighbors have already begun leaving tokens of love and support outside of Dee Dee's home where she was shot Saturday night.
GLAAD has reached out to several local stations and newspapers regarding their coverage of Dee Dee's murder. We are asking them to be respectful of Dee Dee's name and identity as a transgender woman while covering her murder. This includes referring to her by the proper pronouns, "she" and "her." Crime stories involving transgender people are too often sensationalized and can be disrespectful or dehumanizing to the individual involved, as well as the greater transgender community.
Covering crime stories about transgender people can be challenging, but it is extremely important that it be done well. Because transgender people do not always have access to the resources to change their names through the courts, legal documents and police reports will not always reflect a person's chosen name or pronouns. As this is often the case in the transgender community, the AP and New York Times style books provide guidelines for journalists reporting on tragedies like Dee Dee's by stating that journalists should always use the pronoun and names with which a transgender person identifies, and when a journalist is unable to ask the individual involved to always defer to the pronouns consistent with how the person lives publicly.
GLAAD asks our constituents to help monitor coverage of this story, which has the potential for further problematic reporting by writers who are not familiar with guidelines or terminology regarding the transgender community. Please notify us of any inaccurate or irresponsible coverage and report it by filling out an incident report. GLAAD will continue to work with the local news outlets to improve their coverage and give voice to a grieving community that is honoring the life of Dee Dee Pearson.

CU: Home • A to Z • Campus Map
The University of Colorado Boulder's International English Center, or IEC, which provides English as a Second Language courses to international students, is experiencing record enrollment and more than 50 students have applied for admission to CU-Boulder undergraduate and graduate programs for spring 2013.
At age 34, Andrew Wolff is making previously unreachable dreams become reality for hundreds of at risk Cambodian children.
This might seem a stretch for a former businessman who began his second career as a teacher after earning his MA in English as a second language and multicultural education at CU-Boulder in 2006. However, after teaching for a year at an area charter school, Wolff felt constrained by the educational system. Always the adventurer, he bought a one-way ticket to Bangkok, Thailand, hoping to volunteer as a teacher somewhere in Southeast Asia.

The study of religion is really a study of what it means to be human. Religion has always been an important part of human social and personal life and has greatly influenced much of the world's art, music, dance, and drama. Exploring our own and others' rich cultural heritage, we can find a deeper basis for addressing the great moral and political problems of our time. The religion department at Dickinson has an abiding commitment to study the great traditions of Christianity and Judaism that have shaped the West, but we are also committed to help our students understand and respect the traditions of Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, and Native Americans. Our courses explore ancient and modern interactions between religion and culture in areas such as art, literature, ritual, and ethics. Students of religion think deeply about matters of the greatest consequence, including the nature of reality, the purpose of life, and the way people ought to behave towards one another. They step out of their own assumptions and values and come to better understand themselves, their culture, and the viewpoints of others.

Final Review of all the products stacked
I just copied and pasted this from my log so many it will get more traffic. For those of you who arent following, I am 3 1/2 weeks into my stack. I started out with Prime first and it is now finished. I have 2 more weeks (about) of Compound 20 and 2 more weeks of Versa 1 (havent only been on them since 1/7). I am coming off a 4 week stack of Erase Pro, DAA, Anabeta transitioning into the Prime+C20+Versa+DAA. Enjoy.
As you all know, the Prime is finished. Still have compound 20 and Versa 1 to go, may open another bottle of Prime. Before i do all that, I wanted to give you all the before and after numbers. I gained 5 pounds during this 3 1/2 week log. I have been on Prime since 12/30. Been on compound 20 and Versa 1 since 1/7 so I still have about 2 weeks left for the both of those. The beginning numbers are on the left. the final numbers are on the right
1.) BB Bench
-225x8 ------------225x12 -----4 rep increase
-245x 5------------250x9--------5 pounds and 4 rep increase
-255x4-------------275x4-------20 pound increase
For BB bench, It is safe to say that I added 20 pounds onto my bench in 3 1/2 weeks
2.) Incline DB
I didnt get a chance to do these that much because it was always taken. I had to do BB one week vs DB because the DB bench was being used. Well, there u have it for chest. feel free to browse the log for strength increases on other chest workouts, but these are the main ones i do. 20 pounds on BB flat and 5 pounds (each hand) with DB incline in 3 1/2 weeks. not bad.
1.) BB Row
185x10 ------------- well, i cant find where i logged it again. i may have only done BB row once. feel free to find it in the log
205x10 -------------
2.) Lat Pulldown
160x8 -----------------------160x10
145x10 ----------------------160x10
130x12 ----------------------145x12
Huge increase in Lat Pulls.
3.) Seated V Bar Row
10 pound increase and only doing them twice in the log.
1.) BB Curl
95x6----------- 95x12
105x4---------- 120x4
1.) Reverse Grip Bench (only did twice but saw improvement)
225x10 -- ---- ----225x8
245x6 --------- --245x4 -----------------the numbers on the left are the most recent numbers. sorry about that
255x3 ------------245x4
For arms, i always change it up and do lots of drop sets/supersets so its hard to log that stuff but i kept BB curl every arm day and the improvement is very obvious.
Well, I am finished with 1 bottle of Prime. Still have 2 weeks for compound 20 and Versa 1. Im tempted to open up the other Prime and run it at 69 protocol or even higher maybe. either way, I will keep this log going until the versa 1 is done. I am up 5 pounds total and have lost a little bit of fat/water. My jack3d micro should be in Monday so I will be adding that to the log as well. DAA is done, so this log will be everything except DAA and maybe Prime. not sure yet. what do you guys think so far?

Hotel Kakslauttanen is located in the Saariselkä fell area amidst beautiful Lapland scenery in the vicinity if Urho Kekkonen National Park. We enjoy excellent connections – Highway 4 is nearby and all scheduled buses drive right up to the hotel and Ivalo airport is just 35 kilometres away with a bus transfer straight to the hotel front-door.
We have 40 first-class log cabins, out of which five are queen suites, one honeymoon turf chamber and one traditional Lappish farmer log house. The cabins are located sufficiently far apart and each cabin enjoys its own peaceful garden area. We have the world's largest smoke sauna, equipped with its own restaurant, the main building log house restaurant, two exotic Lapishtent restaurants and a charming snow restaurant. In winter we offer a possibility to stay overnight in a traditional snow igloo or a unique futuristic glass igloo, where you can admire the northern lights in a normal room temperature under the glass ceiling. Igloo Village is also home to snow chapel and an ice bar both built every winter. Igloo Village is open every year from December/January and until the end of April.
In the winter time we offer husky safaris, snowmobile safaris, reindeer safaris and ice-fishing trips as well as guided ski treks. The Saariselkä ski trail network of over 180km passes right by the hotel. You can rent cross country skis from the hotel. Saariselkä ski slopes are just 10 km from the hotel and regular bus transportation is arranged between the hotel and the slopes. Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) are visible from late August to late April. You may also visit Sampo ice-breaker, the only ice-breaker in the world open to tourists.
On summer we offer boat trips to river Lemmenjoki, fishing at lake Inari, sightseeing trips to Utsjoki and Midnight Sun trips to Kaunispää fell. You can also visit Tankavaara Gold Village and try your luck in gold panning. We offer excellent hiking possibilities in the national park with some of the trails starting just from the hotel yard. If you want to go further you can rent a bicycle from the hotel. Midnight sun shines for two months and the nights are bright from May to the end of August.
Our newest attraction is Santa's Resort, home to Santa Claus all year around. The resort includes Santa's House, a tower bridge over the Gold Creek and the Smith Elf forge. In summer you can pan for gold under directions of our Elves. In winter you can drive a reindeer-drawn sledge or sled down the nearby hill.

Assuring Reliability in the Voting System
The actual infractions on the "right to vote" and having that vote counted correctly come from the Republican camp. One readily notes all the laws and regulations being passed in Florida to thwart voting by minorities in an effort to undermine turnout for President Obama in that State. it's unconstitutional and conjures up memories of Jim Crow. Ohio is another example where a Republican friendly firm is installing 11th hour software into the voting system, which is stamped off by a Republican attorney general, which could potentially slant the entire election in Romney's favor. The threat to our voting system is not from the left by any means, and only negligible at best compared to real actions being taken overtly and clandestinely by the right to win this election by hook or by crook!

Brunnen in Forst Baden |
Der Name "Forst" taucht schon im 11. und 12. Jahrhundert in diversen Schriften (so im Codex des Klosters Hirsau) auf. Die erste urkundliche Erwähnung im Wortsinn stammt aus dem Jahre 1161. Damals bestätigte kein geringerer als Kaiser Friedrich Barbarossa die Besitztümer des Klosters Odenheim. Dazu gehörten auch Flächen in und um Forst.
Die Entwicklung Forsts zur selbständigen Gemeinde begann im 14. Jahrhundert

Schloss Bruchsal am Abend. EOS 40D l Peleng l 6 Bilder (4 Portrait l 2 Nadir) l PTGui
Amtsgericht und Schloss in Bruchsal. EOS 40D l Peleng l Germany
Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)
And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.
Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.
Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!
Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.

2013 Scion Cars
Scion was launched in 2004 as a Toyota's youth brand, and offers small, practical cars like the xD and xB hatchbacks as well as the funky iQ city car. This year, Scion introduced a refreshed tC sport coupe, that mimics the styling of the fun, rear-wheel drive FR-S sports car.
With Toyota failing to reach younger buyers, the company decided to launch their Scion brand in 2004. Their initial offerings were compact hatchbacks with a focus on vehicle customization, and Scion offered a massive range of dealer installed accessories. This continues today as all Scions can be highly personalized.
