The top ten myths about the Irish

10. The Irish never forget
Not true. Ask Thierry Henry. After his handball at the qualifying France versus Ireland World Cup match, there are literally millions of Irish people desperately willing themselves to forget what he did. Their attempts to do so may be as insincere or short lived as Thierry's apology, but give them some props for the effort.

As it appears to be mostly true, only by personal experience, the willingness to forget and an abundance of storytelling to us all!

I once many years ago found myself on a very country road by today's standards it was dark and stormy a terrible rainy windy night my old car had just gone through its last spoonful of petrol (Cars use to do 500 miles to the gallon mostly pushed) in those days, Anyway there I was in the middle of nowhere out of gas, I spotted a dim light off the road at some distance and having negotiated some fences and fields I arrived at the door of a cottage where a young couple were laying a new wooden floor, Having told them of my dilemma I was sat down to a pot of tea and a plate of cookies while the young man took off in his car, 10 minutes later to my utter shock he arrived back with 2 gallons of petrol escorted me to my car poured it into my tank and no matter what I tried would NOT accept any remuneration of any sort, I have waited more than 40 years to publicly tell this story and let me tell you money was scarce enough back then, The Place where I broke down was near Ardee in Co Louth.

"Christ and Caesar are hand in glove" refers to the corrupting intertwining of the Catholic Church and the Irish government, both dedicated to sneaky deals and cover-ups. It does not refer to the Irish "latitudinarianism" (cafeteria Catholicism) that indeed is an ancient irish tradition despite the fanatics. When the Norman chronicler asked an Irish chief why they did not persecute the Jews, the answer was "What a man believes in his mind is between him and God."... The Irish practiced a form of Santeria for many centuries, to everyone's comfort.

JamesMurphy: Erin Go Bragh means "Ireland Forever". I'm surprised you don't know that. Is the Irish/Gaelic language totally dead over there now?

I love this! As a red haired irish cailin, with a black haired Irish father (well it was once upon a time, when he had hair!), who is the most charming man on this earth, along with being probably one of the smartest! And not one of us can carry a tune in a bucket! However, my contemptuous looks may have been known to clear a room or two, especially when directed at a sibling or other relation (usually non-Irish who have married into the family). This is absolutely brilliant! lmao!

Well. I'd argue with you on each and every one o' those points, but that might be a little stupid. Besides, I'm late for me lessons for choir in my church, and a bit of a sip afterward. So... if ye want to argue, come join me at Paddy's, where we can fight or tell stories and if you like, I can fix you up with my red-haired sister. I won't forget, just be there. ;)

If you'd like to know what the Irish were really like before Rome's taking over the church and England's brutalizing us and then writing their own "history," read Thomas Cahill's "How the Irish Saved Civilization."

But, do they got rhythm? Few individuals of any origin exhibit consistent behavior - Irish or not. Obviously, there are stupid, bellicose, red-haired Irish persons who drink too much and sing a lot; but, hell, no one is perfect!

The sky is falling! The end is near!
Just in time for the Christmas season, Pat Buchanan has published yet another jeremiad warning that America is about to go belly up. You'd think that the American public would get tired of the unrelenting gloominess of the far right and left. But you'd be wrong. Already the book is climbing up the bestseller lists, giving us further proof that, despite our collective obsession with living the good life, we Americans love the sweet rush of anxiety. Maybe it's just the antidote for our apathy.
You have to admit that there's something unseemly about citizens of history's most powerful country—economically, militarily and culturally—always fretting about their coming demise. Sometimes it gets downright pornographic.
But like it or not, it's part of who we are, the flip-side of our patriotic jingoism and a legacy of those intensely religious Puritans that lives on in this secular age. In the 1980s, when Ronald Reagan called the United States a "shining city on a hill," he was borrowing—and embroidering—a famous line from the 17th century governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, John Winthrop. Winthrop didn't use the word "shining" in his original 1630 sermon; his message was not triumphalist.
Winthrop and his fellow Puritans believed that in their escape from religious persecution and their settling of a new world, they had entered into a covenant with God. They were ordained to be an example to the world and to establish God's kingdom in wild, chaotic North America.
That meant they had a high standard to live up to. If they pleased the Lord, the Almighty would bless them. But if they did not, Winthrop cautioned, "We shall shame the faces of many of God's worthy servants and cause their prayers to be turned into curses upon us till we be consumed out of this good land."

The list from Cracked.com (Parental advisory: explicit lyrics) begins with the passage in Exodus in which Moses kills an Egyptian:
You can almost picture the scene: An Egyptian soldier is wailing on a hapless Hebrew when Moses, clothed in head-to- toe black, drops down from the ceiling. Moving with cat-like grace, he sneaks up behind the soldier and, taking his head in his hands, snaps the man's neck with one savage twist. As the lifeless body slumps to the ground, Moses lights up a cigar. "Well," he quips, "looks like someone bit off more than he could Jew."
The list also includes the stories of Ehud killing the king Eglon and of Samson slaying a thousand men with the jawbone of a donkey. Not on the list? When Joshua re-circumcised the Israelites before they marched on Jericho.
What else is missing? Maybe Shadrach, Meshach and Abendego, David and Goliath, Sodom and Gomorrah?

From Jewlicious:
That was the latest holiday viral video by my pal and obsessive Scrabulous partner Will of Shabot6000 fame. The video is meant to promote the Website MyJewishLearning.com, described as âa trans-denominational website of Jewish information and education geared toward learners of all ages and educational backgrounds.â Funded by The Samuel Bronfman Foundation, The Charles and Lynn Schusterman Foundation, Jewish Life Network/Steinhardt Foundation and The Abramson Family Foundation and partnered with a whole slew of neat-o organizations, the site is chock full of awesome Jewy information!
Now, Jewlicious isnât funded by anyone but, inspired by this awesome video, I think we can contribute a few things to the state of Jewish Literacy! For instance, depictions of images of God are problematic in the Jewish religion. So while watching this video may or may not be prohibited, itâs probably not a good idea to worship the golden toothed funkster depiction of God presented within. Also, while God teaches Tod about Hanukkah, prior to leaving, God lights a cigar off of the Chanukiah. Now, God being omnipotent and all, can probably do that with impunity, but Jewish law, and the blessings we recite upon lighting the candles are pretty clear - unless you are an omnipotent being, lighting stogies off of a Chanukiah, or using it for anything other than the commemoration of the miracle of Hanukkah, is strictly prohibited.
Yay! Trans-denominational Jewish Literacy is fun!

Yesterday I got three messages from blog friends making sure I was okay. I am very touched. I haven't given up the blog. Life just got a little crazy – some good, some not so good. A short "highlight reel" to catch you up on all the events of the past 2 or 3 months . . .
It started so well. In July, I hosted a garden party wedding at my home. Although 14 guests seemed modest for a wedding, it was the most I'd ever hosted for a sit down dinner and I wanted it to be perfect. The strawberries were freshly picked from one of our berry gardens. It was a delicious dinner and a beautiful occasion!
Later that month, we enjoyed a nice long visit from my wonderful mother-in-law. Here we are, doing a crafty little project on the patio while we enjoyed Mimosa and laughs.
Then there was a 1700 mile drive to Oklahoma to pick up my mother who is unable to live alone any longer. (but PLEASE don't say that to her) The trip took three days of hard driving, but I got to stop and have lunch with my dear friend, Lea Ann, from Mangos Chili & Z. She surprised me with a box of her "Fist Fight Brownies" and friends, they are fabulous!
We spent a few days in Oklahoma, packing Mother up to head north and then started the arduous trip home. About 20 miles from our hotel in Wyoming, we had a gnarly wreck when a semi truck lost an entire wheel that bounced across the median into oncoming traffic. We were the first of three vehicles to collide with this giant wheel, and were blessed to survive with only airbag injuries. My little sister managed to steer the truck, U-haul in tow, off the interstate with zero visibility! Thank you, baby sister, you will always be my hero.
After arriving back in Montana, I worked for four days before heading to California to attend the home birth of my new granddaughter. What a miraculous event! She came on the first day of autumn and while we were discussing a name, toying with the autumn theme, we looked out and saw the brilliant maple trees. My son-in-law suggested the name Maple and my daughter and I exchanged a look I will always remember. We instantly loved it! Maple Ann is such a beauty.
Things are slowly getting caught up, but dealing with an aging parent is daunting. Any spare time I would have spent blogging, is spent trying to give my sister a break as she is doing the lion's share (meaning almost all) of the work to care for our Mother. I did take Mom fishing on the first weekend after getting back home. This was Mom's favorite pastime before her mobility and eyesight became so impaired. We didn't even get a nibble, but enjoyed a magnificent fall day in Montana which is an amazing experience in itself. Add in a couple of egg salad sandwiches, some fruit and a cold ginger-ale and we had ourselves a delicious afternoon. Mom joked on the way home that I had to clean the fish.
So, in answer to your questions, I haven't disappeared. I've just been on a necessary blogging break and hope you will not give up on me.
Hope to be blogging soon!

President Mahinda Rajapaksa has thanked all those who contributed to the successful conclusion of the 15th SAARC Summit which helped immensely in doing Sri Lanka proud in the eyes of the world.
I am pleased to send this message of thanks to all those who contributed to the successful conclusion of the 15th SAARC Summit in Colombo.
I am aware that arrangements for the SAARC Summit involved the participation of many government agencies and of the private sector institutions and individuals, who shared their skills and expertise in the organizing of events and activities directly related to the Summit and the co-events of SAARC.
A special word of thanks is due to all members of the Sri Lanka Police and the Armed Services for the excellent security arrangements made which from the outset gave the confidence to all that the safety of the visiting Heads of State and Government and other delegates, our own national leaders, and the general public will be ensured.
The services of those from every rank in the many branches of state administration, who contributed in myriad ways towards the smooth planning and conduct of the Summit, deserve special recognition for the manner in which they showed the administrative capability of the country.
My thanks are also due to all sections of the Media for the extensive coverage they gave to the preparations for the Summit and its proceedings.
The general public too deserves special thanks for the manner in which they bore some of the inevitable inconveniences and cooperated in the implementing of special traffic arrangements, security checks and other moves that were necessary to ensure the success of the Summit.
It is my view that in all, the selfless contributions made by all these sections and numerous other institutions and individuals too, have helped immensely in doing Sri Lanka proud in the eyes of the world, for which my Government and I remain grateful.

In Part Two of MyNorth's Telemark series, Josh Baker, who owns The Outfitter in Harbor Springs with his wife, Molly, takes to the Northern Michigan slopes to demonstrate Telemark ski technique, including the graceful Telemark turn.
The Telemark turn got wide play in 1868 when a Norwegian named Sondre Norheim displayed the fluid turn during a ski jumping competition. The Telemark turn had a strong influence on the ski world until the early 1900's when new techniques, closer to today's downhill ski techniques, made it easier to make shorter, faster turns on alpine runs. The Telemark has remained the preference for backcountry skiing and for touring on rolling terrain.
From latching into the Telemark bindings to the step-by-step of completing a turn, Josh displays the essence of learning Telemark skiing. He explains how telemark skiing can create a whole new skiing experience at Northern Michigan resorts you may have skied for years. As he says: "Everything's a black diamond at our Northern Michigan resorts in your first year."

Edwards, Busted
The National Enquirer catches him.
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
HuffPo asks where John Edwards is, given the looming primary in his state. Turns out he's at Disney World. ... Kausfiles asks where Rielle Hunter is! ... Perhaps there is some connection between Hunter and Edwards' avoidance of the North Carolina spotlight. ... Update:Instapundit suggests this is one too many references to Rielle Hunter in a short period of time. He's right. But I don't think John Edwards is going away--he's talked about as a potential cabinet secretary or even Supreme Court justice. Which means Hunter isn't going away. ... Also, Edwards' power to extract any promises in connection with such jobs would seem to be at a peak this week, given the value of his endorsement in his home state. And his decision not to endorse (so far) is a bit mysterious, no? ... 5:26 P.M.
I'll be interviewing Michael Kinsley about his new book, "Please Don't Remain Calm," at a Town Hall Los Angeles event on the UCLA campus tomorrow, Wednesday 4/30, at 7:30. Details here. ... 3:41 P.M.

Hope! McCain will have trouble beating the Obama who showed up on Fox News Sunday, giving a highly effective interview to Chris Wallace. It included this bait for Hillary:
I think there are a whole host of areas where Republicans in some cases may have a better idea.
Obama cited not just "merit pay" but also "experimenting with charter schools," which he said has gotten him "in trouble with the teachers union." Maybe he didn't "add more substance to his unity schtick," but after his dreary Pennsylvania performance just restating the old substance offers relief. Harbinger of Pivot? ... P.S.: It would be a huge help in combatting the "arrogance" meme, however, if Obama would stop citing the world-historical greatness of his own speeches as if he were his own personal Chris Matthews. For example, he mentions
at the Democratic convention, giving what I would say was about as patriotic a speech about what America means to me and what this country's about as any speech that we've heard in a long time.
Eek. How about fake humility, Senator? Americans will probably settle for fake humility rather than real humility at this point. It doesn't look as if they will have a choice. ... 2:19 A.M.

CENTERVILLE — It takes a village to create theater magic.
Gary Fowler, scenery production manager at CenterPoint Legacy Theatre, is quick to credit the entire team of people whose efforts make CenterPoint productions shine.
First on the list are Robert Gibson and Stephen Gray, who help him construct the set pieces for each show.
"They're yeoman," said Fowler. "They carry the bulk of building the big set pieces. I can't say enough good about them."
Once sets are constructed, it's Tammy Coleman's turn. As head painter for CenterPoint, Coleman carries her own share of transforming wood and Styrofoam into something that looks real to audiences.
"She takes these big, rough pieces that we build and turns them into magic," said Fowler, pointing out a 3D effect Coleman had painted into a carriage cushion. "She has so much talent. She's amazing."
Executive producer Scott Van Dyke often does double duty handling the set design for productions.
"He really has a gift for set design," said Fowler. "And it's so much easier to go up to an office in the same building and make design changes when they're needed."
Jay Clark, the theater's technical director, is in charge of all the lights and sounds for each show.
"He also has a bit of a talent for doing special effects," said Fowler. "He's reconfigured our smoke and fog machine for 'The Scarlet Pimpernel.' We're going to be doing some effects that are really quite impactful."

Biologics—a new class of drugs derived from living organisms—have great potential for treating brain and other diseases. They interfere with the way a disease causes damage, rather than treating the disease's consequences, and can be individually tailored to the person taking the drug. Because biologics are created using DNA technology, rather than a uniform chemical reaction with a predictable outcome as are traditional drugs, their risks are significant and often unpredictable. The economic rewards for the biotechnology companies that develop these drugs are high, but so are the costs. The authors ask how patients, physicians, industry, and government can successfully balance these risks and rewards.
Living organisms, ranging from human cells to bacteria, are being used to produce new kinds of drugs that are providing promising treatments for some frustrating medical conditions. These drugs, called "biologics," rely on the insertion of a DNA sequence into living cells or organisms; the cells then grow and produce a large, often complex, protein using their own natural machinery. Biologics differ in important ways from the more traditional common forms of drugs, which are smaller, simpler molecules produced from carefully sequenced chemical reactions between inorganic (nonliving) materials.
As scientific "bluebloods," with their origins in research that earned multiple Nobel Prizes, biologics are particularly exciting to clinical researchers because they hold promise for diseases that have had few effective treatments. Already, they have become significant for several immunological, inflammatory, and neurological diseases, and the market for them has risen into the tens of billions of dollars. Despite their promise, however, the development process has also revealed serious (and unexpected) adverse effects, suggesting that caution is warranted.
The development of biologics to treat multiple sclerosis is illustrative of both the rewards and the risks of these new drugs. Treatments for disorders affecting the brain represent, so far, only a small portion of biologics developed, but biologics for multiple sclerosis have fundamentally changed clinical treatment of the disease.
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, recurrent, inflammatory (and presumably autoimmune) disorder that results in injury Biologics are particularly exciting to clinical researchers because they hold promise for diseases that have had few effective treatments. of the myelin coating of nerve cells in the brain and the central nervous system. When myelin is damaged or destroyed, the ability of nerves to conduct impulses to and from the brain is disrupted, resulting in highly variable symptoms that may include cognitive changes, difficulty in walking or balance, vision problems, pain, fatigue, and bladder or bowel dysfunction. Multiple sclerosis affects both men and women, often in the prime of their lives, and is one of the leading causes of disability among young women.
Before the first biologic was developed to treat multiple sclerosis, only symptomatic treatment was available, usually anti-inflammatory medications such as steroids. The development of the biologic interferon beta-1b (Betaseron), which was approved in 1993, opened a new class of "immunomodulatory" treatment that could be taken on a regular basis to prevent relapses, slow disease progression, and potentially alter the course of the disease. Other interferons for multiple sclerosis followed, and the market for biologics for multiple sclerosis is now more than $4 billion per year.
In the "Risks and Rewards of Biologics for the Brain", (July, 2007) the authors included information about Dr. Kohler and Dr. Milstein discovering enzymes that were able to cleave DNA at specific locations. Although not specifically stated, it appears that this technology was developed in the 1970s, therefore, the splicing of smaller particles, such as proteins, should or could be possible.
According to the 2005-2006 Progress Report on Alzheimer's disease (AD), one of the theories as to the origin of the disease is where the protein APP is cleaved in the neuronal membrane. Depending on which enzyme cleaves APP (alpha secretase, beta-secretase, and gamma secretase) and where the cleaving happens, the APP processing can follow two pathways, one that has healthy implications for the brain and another that may start the process for AD. If the APP protein is cleaved by beta-secretase, there is a potential that one end of the fragment can become beta-amyloid. A beta-amyloid peptide is released into the space outside the neuron, which eventually results in similar peptides adhering together, forming oligomers, which then coalesce into plaques that are characteristic of AD.
Has the use of biologics for the brain, specifically for cleaving the APP protein, been considered or studied for intervention of AD? Drs. Dorsey, Vitticore and Moses state that biologics have the potential to be successful in genetics having to do with gene expression. Because four genes attached to four chromosomes and their mutation or alleles may be a huge contributing factor to the development of AD, wouldn't biologics be a natural and vital area for further research?

Manitoba Food Experiences
What's Old is New Again
Way, way beyond cold cuts and deli meats, Charcuterie is all about big, big flavour, and after being in vogue in the big cities for years, has found its way into Winnipeg restaurants.
Homegrown Manitoba Food Favourites
The favourite flavours of Manitoba are as diverse as the people who live here. Here are some of the best bets that even locals cant get enough of.
Touring Manitoba Bite by Bite
Visitors can submit stories of traveling in Manitoba through the Unexpected Manitoba blog. Did you see a great play? Enjoy a fabulous meal? Click below for more information and to submit your moment.
When I was a tyke one of my familys annual delights was our church Fowl Supper. The dinner was a fundraising effort where the ladies of the congregation pitched in and together cooked up a feast fit for a king (or in this case God).
I now know what a huge amount of work went into staging such an event, but back then I was so transfixed by the mountains of food and the heavenly smells wafting about that nothing could shake my focus. My 5 siblings and I, much to my parents chagrin, would strategize beforehand, and formulate a plan of attack. I learned actual engineering skills, (in fact I suspect thats why my brother became an engineer), as it takes dexterity and creativity to stack your food, layer upon layer, until the plate disappears. Dont laugh, this was serious business because if there was a breach in the perimeter, say the peas were making a break for it, then youd quickly have to shore the suckers up with mashed potatoes before proceeding.

Comments about South Shore Sand Castle 4 Drawer Chest in Pure White:
Love the product. Its great for my 2 year old who loves to climb and be a little destructive at times on her furniture but this dresser is very sturdy and solid and the wall mount is wonderful! It goes great with her toddler bed that was also bought from cymax. It has alot of room in the drawers and they slide so smoothly. Great product and I love the look!
Best Uses
Comments about South Shore Sand Castle 4 Drawer Chest in Pure White:
I bought this chest originally for my preschooler's room, but after assembly, i realized the drawers were way to flimsy to uphold her rough handling. we decided instead to put it in our guest bedroom, which almost never gets used.
upon opening the box, we noticed that the side wall piece was cracked, but fortunately, the crack is near the back; however, since the crack splits the particleboard, the durability of this piece is questionable. time will tell.
would recommend leaving the drawers out for a few days to air out the strong particleboard odor before placing in a bedroom.
one note about the construction. if assembled correctly, most pieces fit together nicely, but if a metal drawer bracket is misaligned, the drawers do not align correctly leaving an awkward space between drawers.

Invision Power Board support is free no more...
Juvenall Wilson:
I run a copy of every board I can get my hands on and personally, iBF ranks near the bottom of my list (just above UBB..lol). I just don't like the way it feels..at all.
..but then again, what do I know ;D
Invision going paid. I know a whole lot of forums going to pieces there. Good thing I only tested Invision. I think in fact that Invision board is more difficult to configure than phpBB, but YaBBSE/SMF is still and always will be the best board.
And I'm willing to join in on the PR campaign for the new SMF, just give me a banner and I'll be on it immediately
--- Quote ---For some reason, I never really liked iBF.
don't know why, since I can't find any reason why I would...
But yeah, this is going to cost them users, so go get'em fellas
--- End quote ---
I'm with you on this as well ;)
And I'm sure that IBF will loose many fans because of going paid...
Some time ago I've post several polls about forum software on various communities and put links to them here it maybe interesting to see for some of you what people think about forums software.
Also I don't rank iBF too high as well and post to which I referred confirming this ;D I think that main competitor of SMF could be phpBB.
--- Quote ---And I'm willing to join in on the PR campaign for the new SMF, just give me a banner and I'll be on it immediately
--- End quote ---
I already start to promote SMF by telling my friends and posting messages on few boards I participate on, and by submitting to open diretories where I'm editing so let's hope that SMF will conquer forum industry in near future ;D
By the way Skoen what do you mean by public relation are there some special group which engaged in promoting this software if so can I participate there officially or not officially and where can I get more info on this?
--- Quote from: sensovision on August 03, 2003, 08:36:21 PM ---Also I don't rank iBF too high as well and post to which I referred confirming this ;D I think that main competitor of SMF could be phpBB.
--- End quote ---
That mostly means we have to just do more leg work. Most people already considered YaBB SE as better than phpBB... SMF is even better...
It isn't going paid. They are just making it so that you can only get *support* by paying. From what I understand they are still offering free software, they just want to offload the support for non-paying people.

FLORENCE, S.C. (AP) - Former Lt. Gov. Ken Ard says he had trouble asking people to donate money to his political campaign. So Ard says he came up with a scheme to give his own money to family members to give to others to donate to his campaign.
In his first interview about the case since his March guilty plea and resignation, Ard told the Morning News of Florence that he knew his idea was wrong, but didn't know it was illegal.
Ard apologized to his supporters for letting them down and to the people of South Carolina for embarrassing the lieutenant governor's office. He says he will never run for office again.
Ard pleaded guilty to seven misdemeanor counts, getting five years of probation, but no jail time.

Man, the professional waxers in Westeros must be making BANK.
armpit hair
For some reason, I thought that getting my vajay waxed would make me feel less anxious about sleeping with a new dude. This was incorrect.
And I can't eat for two days prior! TWO DAYS!!!
I have some excellent news: I've found a virtually painless Brazilian wax.
I mean, I'd rather have my eyebrows back, but I'll definitely be sticking the Brow Tech To Go in my purse.
pubic hair
I run through the list of possible alternatives: I can feel your moods? foods? cubes? nudes? glutes?
The quick shot of pain coupled with the excitement of discovering that this product actually worked sent my adrenaline into overdrive and turned me into a waxing MACHINE! I was fearless!
Sugar Wax may sound like a sexy bar full of mojitos and Rihanna, but it's actually a simple syrup you can make in order to rip hairs out of your legs in a supposedly less painful fashion.
body hair
The hair removal industry equates pubic hair neatness with femininity and cleanliness, when it's actually maybe a breeding ground for what appears to be the plague.

I prove it by waxing Emily's ankles.

When it comes to grooming, it's the catalyst that counts, not the start date.
Like most wildly creative people, Cat lives by her own rules. Have you seen "Get Him To The Greek?" Yeah; Cat is Aldous Snow and I'm Aaron Green.
From 14 on, I added trimming my hooha to the ever-growing list of "Pointless Things I Do To My Body Because A Girl Told Me To in High School."

That's British for lady business by the way.

Bridges to Grace
Price: | $18.99 |
Choose a Retailer Below
Bridges to Grace highlights the latest innovations in recovery ministry, as well as resources and suggestions for pastors and church leaders who are seeking effective ways to serve the addicted, hurting, and abused in their communities. Filled with real-life stories and time-tested principles, the authors present a series of ministries across the country that are thinking systematically and organizationally about the ministry of recovery, and show how churches can more effectively develop skill
ePub, Reflowable$6.99
Discover the power of recovery ministry for your church.
Churchgoers who experience painful family issues, addictions, abuse, loss, mental illnesses, and other secret sorrows begin to believe they live beyond the grip of God's redemptive hand. Pastors often feel ill equipped to help with such problems and refer people to resources outside the church. People badly need Christ-centered counsel and encouragement, but few church leaders even know where to start.
Bridges to Grace is an inspiring introduction highlighting the stories of churches across the country that are thinking systematically and organizationally about the ministry of recovery. The authors share how this ministry is bringing God's grace to hurting individuals. They relate both success and failure, and best of all, they demonstrate how God uses recovery ministry powerfully for his kingdom purposes.

Are you ready for winter driving? It seems to be the number one question as people head home from their holiday vacations. With rain, snow, slush, even ice on the interstate, police warn drivers need to be on high-alert.
Cars were moving quickly on Interstate 81 Saturday, but so were the clouds above. Susan Chilton is making a 300 mile journey from her home in North Carolina to Morristown, Tennessee and so far the weather has been unpredictable. "Some rain drizzling, maybe a little sleet, there was some snow," she said.
But drivers in the Tri-Cities beware, driving conditions can be dangerous with wet roads and icy spots especially in the mountains. News 5 even found crews on stand-by ready to start salting roads. "If it's below freezing, more than likely the roadways could be freezing at that point," said Trooper Chris Dixon with Virginia State Police.
Trooper Dixon says when the weather is constantly changing there is always an increase in the number of accidents, but those accidents can be avoided. "The best thing to do is maintain a safe distance between vehicles and expect the unexpected," he said.
Also slow down and never use cruise control on the wet roads. But Trooper Dixon adds to be especially cautious over bridges and keep an eye-out for black ice, "If you start spinning you just really need to not over-correct. Seems like over-correction is what really causes the accident. You just need to steer and try to steer yourself out of it and continue breaking."
We also checked with the Tennessee Department of Transportation, crews in East Tennessee will be working throughout the night monitoring road conditions. It's the same story in Virginia, Virginia Department of Transportation crews are also looking for ice and ready to start salting roads.

An Alabama man has filed a lawsuit against a Florida blood bank, charging that a transfusion during a coronary bypass surgery infected him with HIV.
The lawsuit alleges that the contaminated blood given to Howard Midkiff came from the Alabama branch of Gainesville, Fla.-based LifeSouth Community Blood Centers.
Calls for comment to LifeSouth were not returned as of late Monday afternoon.
A spokeswoman for the Baptist Health hospital system where the transfusion was given says Midkiff is the only one believed to have been given blood from the donor in question. She says they have never experienced a case like this before and don't expect to in the future.
MidKiff's attorneys sought unspecified damages, but are asking for that the award exceed the minimum required.

Wooot! I am so excited! By tomorrow my room will be framed in! They only finished one half of the house though, which is pretty much my parents room/closet/bathroom! Their closet is bigger then my room! Haha! Now for the pictures!
All the upper walls are up but the one on top of the "jut out" not sure if that's what you call it! View from the back of the house.
View from front of the house! Garage (located just to the left of the other picture) The laundry room on the left, my parents closet is behind it. The stairs and then my parents room on the right and their bathroom to the right of that ( but you can't see the bathroom in this picture!).
Dining room on the other end of the house
And tonight's sunset.
THis thread is called "Building with bunnies" So I thought I should give you a long overdue update on them!
They have been doing great! We had a struggle with finding hay that they would actually eat (why are bunnies so picky) but have now found the perfect kind! I think they are handling this better then me actually! I am SO stressed out that I can't be organized in that room that other things aren't organized that I just have to blind myself from it (I guess its my OCD showing in me). Its a storage room and half the stuff is ours so I have to realize its just temporary! I want to organize it all SO BAD! haha! I also feel like the bunnies don't have enough space! They have a 2x3 condo (which is to small for even 1 rabbit to live in, not to mention 2!) with a 4x6 pen attached so the main level is a 4x8! I know that's not terribly small but my bunnies (and me) are used to being free range in a whole room!
They also have to be in a pen at all times so exercise is hard. For awhile they would go a week at a time with out any time out of their pen because its always bad weather outside or I am gone! I felt awful! So, the other day I used all of my NIC cubes to make another 3ft, pen the size of an xpen to create an area for them to run around in. Here it is!
The whole area you see in this picture is about is about an 8x10ft. which is about the same size as my old room, but they only get to play when they are supervised in the evenings.
If you turn around there is more pen.
and more pen when you turn the corner. It wouldn't bbother me so much if the bunnies would run around when I let them out! But they just sit and stare out side of the pen, wishing they could crawl through those bins just one more time! ( they have escaped and it is hard to get them when they hid in between the bins) and then they furiously grab the bars with their teeth and shake the whole pen trying to move it! It helps if I block their view with a towel ( like in the first picture) but all their other bunny blankets are currently dirty.
Sigh....what to do what to do!
Wow, when you and your sister are moved out your parents will have SO much room!!
Our house is 1800 something sq ft, but it's just Hubby and I, so it works out. We are gonna have to stop getting more pets though, or it'll get too crammed! At least you won't have that problem!
WOW! I have a LOT to catch up on! I have been pretty busy this week with school starting, getting foster bunnies, and visiting my sister.
The view from the front of the house. As you can tell they have done a lot! All the walls are up and they are now working on the roof! Once the roof is done, they can start dry walling!
View from back of the house. (there isn't really a wall on the left side yet because it will be mostly windows.) Now for my room! I showed my already, but here is the attic room right above it! It is bigger then the lower room! Hopefully you can tell where it is, it is right above the latter!
They finished putting plywood on the roof.
Today they are putting on the shingles (How would you like to stand on that ladder?)!
Monkeybun: No the other one isn't a latter its some sort of thing made for walking on but it is still scary looking! haha!
My upstairs room! They added the walls and the floors! (you can see our cat Emmet! haha! Don't worry! We got him down!)
The view from the other end of the room! ( LOL my moms in the picture! haha!)
And this is the hole where the stairs will be. It will be pull down stairs so when I am not using it I can pull it up and walk on top. if that makes since. I am a little worried that when I open it it might hit a bunny down below... Not sure how I am going to do that yet.
Here is a better view of the kitchen.... kind of.... View from above Another view from ground level And our fire place. This will just a gas one. Our wood stove will be in the basement.
The Windows, Doors, and Gas fireplace are in! We are still waiting for the upstairs living room windows to go in though. Here is some pictures! Basement Windows
On the inside they are working on insulation and.....
Sheetrock! And Solar lights! Of coarse this post wouldn't be complete without a beautiful look at the fall colors across the lake!
Best news yet, they think the whole house will be done in about 6 weeks! YAY!

This online help file is for EFT Server version 6.2.x. For other versions of EFT Server, please refer to http://help.globalscape.com/help/index.html. (If the Index and Contents are hidden, click Show Contents pane in the top left corner of this topic.) |
You can create new key pairs for OpenPGP encryption using the OpenPGP Key Generation Wizard. The key pair file is saved in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Globalscape\EFT Server Enterprise or \EFT Server.
EFT Server can create the following types of keys for OpenPGP:
RSA: If you select RSA, the library generates the new standard RSA key pair format by default--keys that are compatible with newer OpenPGP clients. The new RSA key format supports features previously available only to DSS/DH keys. The new RSA key format enables you to have a primary key for signing and a subkey to encrypt data. In addition, the encryption key (the subkey) can be revoked or have a different expiration date as its primary key. A new subkey can always be added to a primary key and be used for encrypting data. New RSA keys are compatible with newer versions of OpenPGP. The library generates the new and improved RSA key format by default. These keys are not compatible with older PGP clients that are not compliant with RFC 2440 such as PGP 2.6.x.
RSA Legacy:
In EFT Server, the PGP library gives you the option to generate RSA
Legacy keys that are compatible with older versions of OpenPGP. Old
OpenPGP clients are compliant with RFC 1991 only, not RFC 2440.
RSA Legacy keys created in EFT Server are compatible with CuteFTP,
and any keys created in CuteFTP will work in EFT Server; however,
new RSA keys created in EFT Server are not compatible with CuteFTP,
because CuteFTP uses an older library.
For information about Diffie-Hellman key exchange, refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffie-Hellman. For information about RSA, refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA. |
To access the Key Ring Manager and use the OpenPGP Key Generation Wizard
If you have made any configuration changes, click Apply and/or Refresh before creating the key pair; otherwise, key creation will fail. If you attempt remote management of keys, you may encounter unexpected behavior. |
In the EFT Server administration interface, connect to EFT Server and click the Server tab.
In the left pane, click the Site you want to configure.
In the right pane, click the Security tab. The OpenPGP security settings are in the Data Security area at the bottom of the tab.
Next to OpenPGP security, click Configure. The OpenPGP Security dialog box appears.
Read the instructions on the welcome page, then click
Next. The Parameters
page appears.
In the Full name box, provide your name or another contact's name.
In the E-mail address box, provide an e-mail address.
In the Key cipher box, click the list to specify a cipher to use: IDEA, 3-DES (the default), CAST5, AES128, AES192, AES256, or TWOFISH.
In the Key type box, click Diffie-Hellman/DSS, RSA, or RSA legacy.
Specify the Key length (1024, 2048, 3072, or 4096). Larger bit sizes increase security, but increase encryption time.
Specify the Key expiration date, or never.
Click Next. The passphrase
page appears.
Type your passphrase in the Passphrase and Confirmation boxes. The passphrase is case sensitive and must contain a minimum of 8 characters. For better security, the passphrase should contain a mix of alphanumeric (both upper and lower case) and non-alphanumeric characters. Select the Hide typing check box to display asterisks instead of the passphrase.
Click Next. The Site page
Clear the Use this key pair as default key pair for this Site check box if the key is for a client or you do not want this key pair to be the default for the Site. Otherwise, select the check box and click the list to specify the Site, if different from the one displayed in the box.
Click Finish to generate the key pair. A message appears informing you that it might take several minutes to generate the key pair.
Click OK to close the notification dialog box. A message appears indicating successful generation of the key and addition to EFT Server key ring.
Click OK to close the notification dialog box. If you selected the Use this key pair check box, the new key pair appears in the OpenPGP Security dialog box.
If you want to enable debug logging for this key, select the check box and specify a logging level and the log file path.

Did the bike boost your confidence a little too much? or did you nick a tree and go flying otb?
Luckily the handlebar on my hardtail is even wider than the Stumpy's bar so I'm used to "sucking it in" around the tight twisty stuff. I do however feel like when I purchased the bike, it came with a bigger pair of cohones because I find myself going a lot bigger than I ever did before
Nicked a tree...and flying doesn't even begin to describe it. I was launched.

A winter weather advisory is in effect until Saturday as a weakened storm that hit the Midwest with snow passes through Maryland.
Forecast | Radar | Alerts | Get Email
The advisory is in effect until 10 a.m. Saturday for northern Baltimore County, Carroll and Frederick counties and all of western Maryland.
The advisory is in effect until 6 a.m. for the Baltimore area, Howard, Montgomery and Anne Arundel counties.
Light sleet, freezing rain and freezing drizzle could begin coat area roadways, causing slick conditions.
By the early evening, the temperature at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport was below freezing, so it's possible that wintry precipitation could fall throughout the area.
A storm moving up from the south on Saturday will pass through warmer air, thus bringing rain to parts of Maryland, particularly on the Eastern Shore.

The day there is substantial news from one of the people or organizations committed to reforming the NCAA always seems like a red letter day for the reforms and a black letter day for the NCAA. If that is the case, Monday was doubly so, as the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics questioned President Emmert at a meeting in Washington D.C. and the National Collegiate Players' Association announced it had gathered 300 signatures on a petition for a very specific change to the NCAA in a pilot program.
Except days like this highlight the biggest obstacles for NCAA reformers: other reformers.
The Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics has, since 1989, pursued the mission of "ensuring that intercollegiate athletics programs operate within the educational mission of their colleges and universities." The most recent report from the Knight Commission asks for transparent financial statements, greater focus on academics, and reducing commercialism. In the view of the Knight Commission, the continuum of ideas about college athletics looks like this:
Knight Commission <—————————> NCAA
The National Collegiate Players' Association has, since 2001, pursued a mission of "providing the means for college athletes to voice their concerns and change NCAA rules." The NCPA's most recent study on cost of attendance and athletic scholarships recommended that new TV revenue flow to athletes, scholarship commitments be increased, and athletes be allowed to explore commercial opportunities. In the view of the NCPA, the continuum of ideas about college athletics looks like this:
But in the view of the NCAA, a view that is closer to reality, the situation really looks like this:
NCPA <———— NCAA ————> Knight Commission
The NCAA sits in between those pushing for a more professional college sports environment and those yearning for a deemphasis on competition and greater focus on academics. The two sides cannot see each other, cannot collaborate with each other, and cannot debate each other. The NCAA ends up standing in as the advocate for both sides as often as it is their opponent.
If reform is presented as a competition, battle, or zero-sum game, any victory will be a fleeting one. Once someone "beats" the NCAA (whatever that means), they have to contend with another opponent, who not only wants to unwind all the recent victories, but go even further in the opposite direction than the NCAA ever did. Not to mention this new foe will be motivated by seeing, in their eyes, an even worse version of college athletics than before.
There is a persistent myth in college athletics that it can be "fixed". That there are some set of reforms which once enacted will solve every problem forever. This myth is embodied in the claims that major reforms to bedrock NCAA principles are uncontroversial tweaks and that only two rules or ten commandments are need to keep college athletics in line.
It is far more likely that we are entering an extended period of upheaval and change, which historically last for around 20 years in the NCAA. The first, the rise of intercollegiate athletics itself, created the NCAA. The second surrounded the academic scandals and point-shaving of the 1940s and 1950s, culminating in a dramatic showdown over the Sanity Code. And more recently the 1970s and '80s were consumed by which initial eligibility standard to use, who would govern women's athletics, and how to clean up rampant cheating. College athletics runs in 15–20 years cycles of change and stability. It would be noteworthy if intense debate had not come up now or in the near future.
The major difference in the current cycle is the relative influence of outside factors, including would-be reformers. The NCAA has shown that, like an extended family, it can fight amongst itself and come out stronger on the other side. Surviving a twenty-year tug of war between different vision of college athletics is something altogether different.
The better model is that the NCAA, proponents of professional college athletics, and members of the academy (roughly the three big groups) be the three legs of a stool rather than three points along a line. Without one the other two fall over, and balance is always a little tricky. And all three are connected by a single purpose. Issues like realignment, budget disparities, and student-athlete welfare are not going away anytime soon. No sense in seeking an imaginary victory in a fight that can never be won.
