Oh Jesus, they have built these churches for the sake of their own glory, and embellished them with silk and melted gold. . . . They left the bodies of Thy chosen poor wrapped in tattered raiment in the cold night. . . . They filled the sky with the smoke of burning candles and incense and left the bodies of Thy faithful worshipers empty of bread. . . . They raised their voices with hymns of praise, but deafened themselves to the cry and moan of the widows and orphans. Come again, Oh Living Jesus, and drive the vendors of Thy faith from Thy sacred temple, for they have turned it into a dark cave where vipers of hypocrisy and falsehood crawl and abound.
Kahlil Gibran
Gold begets in brethren hate; Gold in families debate; Gold does friendship separate; Gold does civil wars create.
Abraham Cowley
The Internet is like a gold-rush; the only people making money are those who sell the pans.
Will Hobbs
If only the people who worry about their liabilities would think about the riches they do possess, they would stop worrying. Would you sell both your eyes for a million dollars ... or your two legs ... or your hands ... or your hearing? Add up what you do have, and you'll find that you won't sell them for all the gold in the world. The best things in life are yours, if you can appreciate yourself.
Dale Carnegie
I love it Practicing in Texas. You can find anything. You can practice rain, you can practice wind, you can practice on hard pan, you can practice on lush gold courses, you can find all the conditions you will ever encounter in Texas
Tom Kite
Your hissing and your booing make no impression on me, because from Victor Hugo's "Ernani" to Buel's "The Age of Gold," Cannes Grand Prize winner, everything I have loved has always been hissed and booed at first. At the premiere of "The Age of Gold" the angry audience broke the theatre seats. What worse can happen to me, and how can that affect me? The seats do not belong to me.
Isidore Isou
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Time, they say, must the best of us capture, And travel and battle and gems and gold No more can kindle the ancient rapture, For even the youngest of hearts grows old.
John Buchan, 1st Baron Tweedsmuir
Lo, the book I hold here, In the city cold here ! I hold it with a gentle hand and love it as I may; Lo, the weary moments! Lo, the icy comments! And lo, false Fortune's knife of gold swift-lifted up to slay! Has the strife no ending? Has the song no meaning? Linger I, idle as of old, while men are reaping or gleaning?
Robert Williams Buchanan
Kisses are but like sands of gold and silver, found upon the ground which are not worth much themselves but as they promise a mine near too be dig'd.
George Villiers, 2nd Duke of Buckingham
There is, of course, a gold mine or a buried treasure on every mortgaged homestead. Whether the farmer ever digs for it or not, it is there, haunting his daydreams when the burden of debt is most unbearable.
Fawn McKay Brodie
All flesh is one: what matter scores; Or color of the suit Or if the helmet glints with blue or gold? All is one bold achievement, All is fine spring-found-again-in-autumn day When juices run in antelopes along our blood, And green our flag, forever green
Ray Douglas Bradbury
Television is a gold goose that lays scrambled eggs; and it is futile and probably fatal to beat it for not laying caviar.

We know Christ's words for those who loved of old "the chief seats in the synagogues" (Matthew 23:6), nor can there be doubt as to their full application now. What is to be urged in excuse for the special pews in churches and chapels, hired and appropriated, furnished luxuriously, and secured by bolt and lock? If in the high places sit the men and women in goodly raiment still, while the poorly clad are crowded into side benches and corners, or beneficently told to stand and wait till room be found somewhere beneath the daintier feet,—how can there be escape from condemnation on the charge which follows?—namely this— 2:1-13 Those who profess faith in Christ as the Lord of glory, must not respect persons on account of mere outward circumstances and appearances, in a manner not agreeing with their profession of being disciples of the lowly Jesus. St. James does not here encourage rudeness or disorder: civil respect must be paid; but never such as to influence the proceedings of Christians in disposing of the offices of the church of Christ, or in passing the censures of the church, or in any matter of religion. Questioning ourselves is of great use in every part of the holy life. Let us be more frequent in this, and in every thing take occasion to discourse with our souls. As places of worship cannot be built or maintained without expense, it may be proper that those who contribute thereto should be accommodated accordingly; but were all persons more spiritually-minded, the poor would be treated with more attention that usually is the case in worshipping congregations. A lowly state is most favourable for inward peace and for growth in holiness. God would give to all believers riches and honours of this world, if these would do them good, seeing that he has chosen them to be rich in faith, and made them heirs of his kingdom, which he promised to bestow on all who love him. Consider how often riches lead to vice and mischief, and what great reproaches are thrown upon God and religion, by men of wealth, power, and worldly greatness; and it will make this sin appear very sinful and foolish. The Scripture gives as a law, to love our neighbour as ourselves. This law is a royal law, it comes from the King of kings; and if Christians act unjustly, they are convicted by the law as transgressors. To think that our good deeds will atone for our bad deeds, plainly puts us upon looking for another atonement. According to the covenant of works, one breach of any one command brings a man under condemnation, from which no obedience, past, present, or future, can deliver him. This shows us the happiness of those that are in Christ. We may serve him without slavish fear. God's restraints are not a bondage, but our own corruptions are so. The doom passed upon impenitent sinners at last, will be judgment without mercy. But God deems it his glory and joy, to pardon and bless those who might justly be condemned at his tribunal; and his grace teaches those who partake of his mercy, to copy it in their conduct.And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing - If you show him superior attention on account of his rich and gay apparel, giving him a seat by himself, and treating others with neglect or contempt. Religion does not forbid proper respect to rank, to office, to age, or to distinguished talents and services, though even in such cases it does not require that we should feel that such persons have any peculiar claims to salvation, or that they are not on a level with all others, as sinners before God; it does not forbid that a man who has the means of procuring for himself an eligible pew in a church should be permitted to do so; but it requires that men shall be regarded and treated according to their moral worth, and not according to their external adorning; that all shall be considered as in fact on a level before God, and entitled to the privileges which grow out of the worship of the Creator. A stranger coming into any place of worship, no matter what his rank, dress, or complexion, should be treated with respect, and everything should be done that can be to win his heart to the service of God.And say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place - Margin, as in Greek, "well" or "seemly;" that is, in an honorable place near the pulpit; or in some elevated place where he would be conspicuous. The meaning is, you treat him with distinguished marks of respect on the first appearance, merely from the indications that he is a rich man, without knowing any thing about his character. And say to the poor, Stand thou there - Without even the civility of offering him a seat at all. This may be presumed not often to occur in a Christian church; yet it practically does sometimes, when no disposition is evinced to furnish a stranger with a seat. Or sit here under my footstool - Perhaps some seats in the places of worship were raised, so that even the footstool would be elevated above a lower seat. The meaning is, that he would be treated as if he were not worth the least attention. 3. have respect to him, &c.—though ye know not who he is, when perhaps he may be a heathen. It was the office of the deacons to direct to a seat the members of the congregation [Clement of Rome, Apostolical Constitutions, 2.57, 58].unto him—not in the best manuscripts. Thus "thou" becomes more demonstratively emphatic. there—at a distance from where the good seats are. here—near the speaker. under my footstool—not literally so; but on the ground, down by my footstool. The poor man must either stand, or if he sits, sit in a degrading position. The speaker has a footstool as well as a good seat. And ye have respect to him; Greek, look upon, viz. with respect and veneration, or a care and concern to please him.Sit thou here in a good place; an honourable place, either contrary to the usual orders of the churches, according to which, (as some say) the elder sat in chairs, the next to them on benches; and the novices on the pavement at their feet; the apostle taxing their carnal partiality in disposing these places to the people as rich, not as Christians; or it may note their disposing church offices to them that were rich, or favouring them in their causes rather than the poor. Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool; the meanest places, and belonging to the youngest disciples: both are expressions of contempt. And ye have respect to him that wears the gay clothing,.... Take notice of him, and show favour to him, to the neglect and contempt of the other. This is an instance of respect of persons condemned and dissuaded from: and say unto him, sit thou here in a good place; the best place; whether it be in a religious assembly, or in a civil court of judicature: and say to the poor, stand thou there; or in a lower and meaner place: or sit thou here under my footstool; this also was contrary to the Jewish canons (t), that one should sit, and another stand, while their cause was trying; the law runs thus: "one shall not sit, and another stand, but both shall stand; but if the sanhedrim, or court, please to let them sit, they sit; but one does not sit above, and the other below; but one by the side of the other.'' (t) Maimon. ib. sect. 3. vid. T. Bab. Shebuot, fol. 30. 1. And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a {b} good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:(b) In a worshipful and honourable place. EXEGETICAL (ORIGINAL LANGUAGES) Jam 2:3 describes the conduct of the church toward the two incomers. Many ancient expositors understand this as a figurative representation of the preference which was generally given in the congregation to the rich; this is arbitrary. The whole description points rather to something which James has actually in view; but in reprimanding this, he condemns partiality generally, which certainly showed itself in many other ways. By the descriptive words ἐπιβλέψητε … τὴν λαμπράν, which precede εἴπητε (in reference to the poor there is only εἴπητε), is indicated in a lively manner the admiring look at the external glitter; ἐπιβλέπειν, emphatice sumendum est (Pott); the rich man is characteristically described as ὁ φορῶν τὴν ἐσθ. τ. λαμπράν; the splendid garment is that which attracts the eye, the character of the man is entirely overlooked; φορεῖν, a secondary form of φέρειν, is also in Matthew 11:8 used of garments; by the article before λαμπράν this idea is strengthened as the chief idea.The contrast is sharply expressed in the different address to the one and to the other; already they are distinguished from one another by σὺ … σύ, and then κάθου and στῆθει, ὧδε and ἐκεῖ, καλῶς and ὑπὸ τὸ ὑποπόδιόν μου, are opposed. The form κάθου (instead of κάθησο) is foreign to classical Greek; see Winer, p. 75 [E. T. 98]. καλῶς refers to comfort (Wiesinger); it is not = honorifice (Wahl); and still less is it to be resolved into "Be so good as" (Storr). A place is pointed out to the rich man, where he can be comfortably seated, whilst to the poor man it is said stand there. The second clause, separated from the first by ἤ, is not a special address, but the two clauses form one saying, whilst after ἤ a thought is to be supplied, as "If thou wilt rather sit;" by the addition of these words the depreciation of the poor is yet more strongly marked. ὑπὸ τὸ ὑποπόδιον] means not under, but below my footstool (Wiesinger), by which the floor is pointed out as the fitting place for the poor to sit (Bouman). "The expression involves contempt: as it were under one's feet. Not on the footstool" (Lange). The word ὑποπόδιον (not unicum, as Wiesinger asserts) belongs only to the later classics. Often in N. T., and also in LXX.Jam 2:3. ἐπιβλέψητε: "look upon with admiration," the exact force of the word is conditioned by the context; it quite expresses the Hebrew פנה אל, the meaning of which varies according to the context, e.g., in Psalm 25:16 (Sept. Psa 24:16) it is "to look graciously," in Deuteronomy 9:27, "to look sternly".—σὺ κάθου ὦδε καλῶς: the reference is to the kind of seat rather than to its position; chairs, or something corresponding to these, were provided for the elders and scribes (cf. Matthew 23:6; Mark 12:39; Luke 11:43), and would no doubt have been offered to persons of rank who might enter, while the poorer men would sit on the floor, which is indeed clearly implied by the words ὑπὸ τὸ ὑποπόδιόν μου. The official who directed people to their seats was called the חזן (Chazzan) i.e., the man who "had charge"; we read of the existence of this official in the Synagogue within the Temple precints in Jerusalem (Yoma, vii. 1).3. And ye have respect to] Better, look with respect upon. The same word is used in Luke 1:48; Luke 9:38. The English version weakens the dramatic vividness of the Greek. the gay clothing] The English presents a needless variation from the Greek, which has the same words as in the preceding verse. The translators would seem to have acted on their principle of bringing in as many English words as they could by way of fairness. See Preface to the Authorised Version. Sit thou here in a good place] The English paraphrases the Greek, which runs literally, as in the margin, Sit here honourably. In practice the seats most coveted among the Jews were those near the end of the synagogue which looked towards Jerusalem, and at which stood the ark that contained the sacred roll of the Law. We do not know whether the first meeting-places of the Christian society followed the same arrangements, or whether then, as at a later period, the Table of the Lord took the place which had been occupied by the ark, and led them to covet the places that were near it, and therefore well placed for seeing and hearing the officiating elder. Stand thou there …] The Christian, probably the elder or deacon, is supposed to point the poor man to his place at the other end of the synagogue, far from sight and hearing, giving him, it may be, the alternative of a seat on the ground, just below what we should call the "stall," in which the rich man was invited to take his place, with a stool for his feet to rest on.Jam 2:3. Ἐπιβλέψητε, ye look upon) with admiration.—τὸν φοροῦντα, him that weareth) although you are ignorant who he is; when perhaps he may be a heathen.—σὺ—σὺ, thou—thou) This has here the force of a proper name.—κάθου ὧδε, sit here) The antithesis is, stand there.—καλῶς) הטיב; Septuagint, καλῶς, honourably.—ἐκεῖ, there) at a distance from us.Ye have respect (ἐπιβλέψητε) Lit., ye look upon, with the idea of respectful consideration; ye regard. Compare Luke 1:48; Luke 9:38. In a good place (καλῶς) Lit., honorably; in a seat of honor. Under Not literally underneath, but down on the ground beside. Compare Matthew 23:6, on the fondness of the Jews for the chief places in the synagogue.

Surviving sleep deprivation one day at a time with dd (Oct '11) & ds (Oct '08).
There are some guys with hang ups about it I imagine. There are guys with "mom" issues who can't have sex with their preg. wives. But I believe they are very rare.
After DD(first child) was born DH was worried about hurting me, so things took a while to get back to normal, but we've had 2 kids since then and might be pg. again, so it didn't cause us any trouble. How does YOUR DH feel about it? That's the important part. |

iPhone Charger Not Supported by iPhone?.....
Well I knew it had to happen sooner or later. My luck with Macs is bad and my luck with customer service (and yes I am nice to them) is even worse.
My iPhone tonight, as I laid myself down to sleep, decided not to charge. In fact I first plugged it in to my computer and the MBP read something along the lines of: The device plugged in to the USB port is not regulated for this power. This USB device will be disabled. I unplugged it and plugged my iPhone into the wall charger. Nothing. After about a minute of plugging back in and and out to see if something wasn't connecting I got the generic message about turning on Airplane mode. I doubt any one has had this problem, but if you have or have heard of someone having it, please chime in and tell me if you found a solution. Tomorrow I will take it to the apple store. Tomorrow will be the 3rd time taking the phone back

i had a charger related issue recently... I was at the Hilton Waikoloa on the Big Island of Hawaii for the past week. The night i got there i used my phone pretty heavily before going to sleep thinking i could always charge when im done... but as i would soon find out for some reason my phone would not charge no matter how many working outlets i tried. I have used the same charger to charge my iphone about everyother day since i got the phone on june 29th. But as soon as i got home today i plugged it in and it charged just fine. very weird. I dont know if the charger does not liked to be plugged directly into the wall, because i have a Monster surge protector at my house. I called apple care and they said that it should work directly from the outlet. Now my problem is that i cannot get itunes to recognize my iphone and i dont know how to restore it. If anyone could help me with that problem i would appreciate it!

call up apple. They sent me a replacement charger because they told me the outlet has nothing to do with it and that they are having a lot of problems with their chargers. They are going to mail it to me so if getting to an apple store is a problem for you, you dont have to worry.

Christmas Crafts
Spend some quality time with the kids making these adorable holiday crafts.
This holiday season is time to put Santa's little helpers to work, but the helpers that we're talking about are your kids. Amanda Kingloff is the lifestyle editor for Parents Magazine, and she's got some great ideas for us. Welcome back Amanda. Thank you. You're a busy little bee over there. Busy bee. If I get your kids busy, 'cause that's-- Yeah. You should be decorating for Christmas. Exactly. And you have a lot of stuff here to day to show us and everything is pretty easy to make. It's, you know, different age ranges as far as-- Exactly. Pretty much kid-friendly materials. Okay. For the most part, and we'll talk about them as we could. Sounds good. Yeah. The first thing you've got behind you? The first thing is really what I consider the labor of love for this holiday, and this is really something that mom or dad wants to make. It's an advent calendar, and so this is, it's a lot of work, but it's something you'll use year after year. Yeah. It's made all out of felt, these are adhesive felt numbers that you can buy already cut. Okay. And these are, we just kind of use templates that we found online for different holiday shapes, and they're just Velcro'ed on. Oh, I see. So, it's just a little piece of Velcro on the back, and it sticks right to the tree. And at, the numbers at the bottom, are those little pockets? They are little pockets. So, you just slip your little felt decoration into them. Uh huh. And if you don't wanna make 24, you could alternate a piece of candy everyday. Yeah. So, you know, it gives the kids a little sweet treat. That's a really good idea. I like that one. Yeah. You can use it over and over again, too. Right. We've got a little mini tree here. A little mini tree to show you some of the ornaments that we made. The first one are these button ornaments, and this one of those things if your kids are younger than 4, you really wanna be with them when they're doing these. Yeah. Because. -- just 2 layers of socks stuffed in between so the kids can sort of get their hands in their. Uh huh. And decorate it with buttons and ribbons for scarf. Very soft, I like these areas. Very cute. The wreath? Something different? The wreath. Basically, this is a great activity plus crafts. You send the kids outside to collect pine cones, acorns. Uh huh. Whatever is lying around. Spray paint your wreath. Obviously, you do that outside. Uh huh. So that the air ventilates, and let the kids glue on the different elements that they found outside. Paint 'em with a bright color and hang 'em on your door. I love it. These are some great colorful creative ideas that just makes you wanna be a kid all over again. So, if you guys wanna get detailed instructions on how to make any of these projects or get some other ideas, trust me, they're gonna keep you busy over. There is parentsmag.com.

Recent Los Angeles County reviews
"What can I say about the house and views except WOW! First, the house is amazing and our kids loved it! Our youngest daughter, saw the Hollywood sign for the very first time from the backyard and literally screamed with delight. The point of his trip was to expose the kids to new things and ways of seeing the world, including not having to stay in posh hotels. This house has definitely made the impact that we were looking for with them. When recounting our California trip to their friends, the highlight keeps coming back to this house. Every description provided is 100% accurate. Something that is not highlighted but just as great as the house is the management team of Frank and David (owners). They are easily accessible and run a first rate operation. This was our first rental through the website but they made it a breeze. I couldn't give a stronger recommendation than this one. If you are looking to find a place in the Holywood Hills look no further."
"I found this apartment to be near perfect in terms of furnishings, layout, size, location, and price. Photos are accurate but actually slightly under-represent the spaciousness of the rooms, especially the living room and foyer (which doubles as a second bedroom if needed). Martineke is an excellent host, very responsive and pleasant, and offered a few tips on local events happening during my stay. The other reviews cover the details well enough. If you like the photos, you'll like the place."
"We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Venice Beach. The home was beautiful and exceeded our expectations. It was close enough to Venice Beach (1 1/2 blocks) without being right on the beach. It was an easy walk to the pier and the colorful characters of Venice Beach. There are several eating places between the house and the beach. This home was perfect for our family (2 adults plus 3 teenagers). It was beautifully decorated, comfortable and extremely clean. It had all the amenities plus more! Michael has done an outstanding job decorating and maintaining the house. The hardwood floors, rugs and furnishings looked brand new! Michael went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. He was very responsive to texts. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to be within walking distance of Venice Beach. We will most certainly rent this property again when we come back :-) Thank you Michael!!!"

VMware Raises IPO Price Range
VMware Raises IPO Price Range
Scott Ferguson
Posted 2007-08-09
VMware's latest SEC filing is fueling speculation that the company's IPO could come as early as Aug. 13.
Virtualization giant VMware, which is preparing to launch an initial public offering, is now looking to sell its stock to the public for as high as $29 per share, according to an Aug. 9 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In the filing, which amended the companys prospectus for the IPO, VMware executives wrote that the initial price for the companys stock is now estimated between $27 and $29 a share. The company originally estimated shares at $23 to $25 when it
announced the IPO
earlier this year.
The filing, which is fueling speculation that the IPO could come as early as Aug. 13, also reported that the New York Stock Exchange has approved a listing for VMware. The stock will be traded under the symbol "VMW."
When the IPO does launch, VMware, based in Palo Alto, Calif., plans to sell 33 million shares to the public. Of that amount, EMC, which owns VMware, will buy 26.5 million shares and will also control a separate class of stock. All together, EMC will still control about 87 percent of the company. In its filing, VMware estimated that it could raise about $866.2 million from the IPO if its stock sells for $28 a share. It will use some of the cash to pay down a debt of $350 million to EMC. The IPO will also allow VMware officials to buy back the companys headquarters from EMC and to make several capital investments in their business. In July, EMC reported its second-quarter revenues, which found that VMwares revenues for the period that ended June 30 were $296.8 million, compared with $156.4 million during the same time period in 2006.
Click here to read more about
EMCs latest financial results.
VMwares IPO has been a major topic of conversation for months, and a successful public launch of the companys stock could help propel virtualizationthe ability to run multiple operating systems or applications on the same piece of hardwareinto the mainstream. In the last month, two major IT companies
Cisco Systems
announced that they separately would purchase large shares of VMware. Intel Capital is investing $218.5 million in VMwares common stock at $23 per share, which means that it will own 9.5 million shares.
Click here to read eWEEKs review of
VMwares Fusion for the Mac.
For its part, Cisco is buying 6 million shares of the common stock at $25 a share for a total investment of $150 million. In addition to the stock that is sold with the IPO and investment by companies such as Cisco and Intel, a portion of VMwares shares will be set aside for its employees.

Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment
The IDB recognizes that promoting gender equality is pivotal to its goal of accelerating the process of economic and social development in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). In November 2010 the IDB approved a new Operational Policy on Gender Equality in Development that will improve the Bank's ability to support its member countries' commitments to gender equality and women's empowerment by applying a gender perspective systematically across its operations. The gender policy commits the Bank to undertake both proactive actions (gender mainstreaming and direct investment) and preventive actions (gender safeguards).
- Gender mainstreaming: The IDB seeks to integrate gender issues across development sectors and throughout the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of its operations. For instance, the IDB is developing guidelines to incorporate gender into rural water and sanitation projects where women are primary beneficiaries because of their critical roles in the management of household and community water resources.
- Direct investment: The IDB also invests directly in strategic areas for gender equality and the women's empowerment through knowledge and capacity building products such as the GEPPAL database on women's political participation and projects such as the $10 million loan to Mibanco in Peru, which seeks to expand access to financial services for women micro-entrepreneurs.
- Gender safeguards: The Bank will review its financial operations to identify and address adverse impacts and the risk of gender-based exclusion, include women and men in consultation processes, and comply with applicable legislation relating to equality between men and women.
In 2009 the IDB launched a Gender and Diversity Fund, committing $10 million in grant resources and $6 million in contributions from donors to support gender and diversity mainstreaming in Latin America and the Caribbean region.
Why Focus on Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment?
All governments of the region have ratified the Convention to Eliminate All Forms of Discrimination against Women, and the IDB work in this area helps its member countries live up to their CEDAW commitments. Gender equality contributes to poverty reduction, results in higher levels of human capital for future generations, and improves the development effectiveness of public investments. Studies from the LAC region have shown that increasing female labor force participation can lead to per capita income growth and poverty reduction. Additionally, experiences with conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs in Brazil, Mexico, and other countries in the region have shown that women spend a higher percentage of their income on education, health, and nutrition for the household, decreasing the inter-generational transmission of poverty.
Gender Equality by the numbers
Women's political participation has increased: the number of women elected to parliaments in the region increased from an average of 5% in 1990 to 20% in 2010.

NWAR: Trench Warfare
Detective Nwar gets his hands dirty for a political campaign.
4.42 / 5.00 2,989 ViewsHere's a weird one for you all! Hoverton is a recluse robot who lives in a cabin near the woods. And we all know that meteor-ships carrying massive alien robots usually land out there. Trust me. It's happened plenty of times. Hope you enjoy it.
(Low quality seems to run the best. Also, leave a review!)
eh wasnt that good
i wasnt reely that fond of it. im not exactly sure wat was goin thru ur head when u were makinmg it but next time try making it a little funnier because this humor is for 1st graders...
quite l33t indeed
Very nice, very well animated, lots of giant robots...
I recomend making more.
Simply Awesome
Your a great animator, i loved how when the machine was to the left, the sound came from that area. :D no other flash have i saw that. And to the guy before me who said, "wear you even try to impress me." You didn't spell where right, and this is a great flash, 5 from me. Hes a nobody and no one should take him seriously. Lets see one of his flashes :X oh wait?
Thank you! And don't worry about that last review. I didn't get it either. He wants me to wear some brand of clothing with a really long name. My naive perspective ends HERE.
pretty nice
it was good but you really need to work on your editing like when the laser is charging there is three diffrent sounds for it and one was 2 seconds long when the laser was really taking like 10 and the blue guys talking was like an old japanese movie with english inserts
That was one of the best sound designs i have ever heard. Kudos to you man. Simply fantastic. Loved the story too. very simple, but silly. keep up the great work!

This year we have had many cyclists staying at Parkburn. We have a large garage for overnight secure storage of cycles and I am willing to do laundry at an agreed price.
Karen Bennett from West Sussex was cycling from Land's End to John O'Groats for Maccmillan Cancer Charity.This is a gruesome challenge especially with the fickle Scottish landscape and even more fickle Scottish weather.
Steve Townsley from Cumbria was out to enjoy the rigors of cycling the Scottish countryside.He has a lot of experience of long distance cycling.I hope he returns to Parkburn on one of his future cycle runs.Look out for his blue tail!!

A Moldavian man accused of running an Internet scam that bilked would-be car buyers pled guilty to wire fraud charges Thursday in Rochester.
Dumitru Doban, 27, ran a scheme that lured 18 people in New York, Arizona, California, Nevada, North Carolina and Canada into paying cash for non-existent cars, U.S. Attorney William Hochul Jr. said.
As part of a plea agreement, Doban admitted to being part of a ring that prosecutors believe scammed victims out of $400,000 to $1 million. According to prosecutors, Doban's personal take came to some $250,000.
Doban posted online advertisements for cars and directed buyers to send payments through bogus third-party websites with names such as eBay Motors and Google Wallet. Buyers got emails from the bogus third-party sites telling them to deposit payments in bank accounts Doban opened in various U.S. cities, including Rochester. Ultimately, the money ended up in accounts in Moldava and Ukraine.
To run the scheme, Doban used a bevy of aliases including Octavian Kucera, Kucera Oktavian, Pavel Luhovny, Michal Pudil and Tomas Kulla. He also used fake Czech Republic passports.
Doban is slated to be sentenced in the U.S. District Court in Rochester by District Judge Frank Geraci on April 7. Doban faces up to 20 years in prison and as much as a $250,000 fine.
Another Moldavian indicted in September, Vasile Leu, faces wire fraud charges for allegedly participating in the same scheme, prosecutors said.

Tulsa-based Rely Energy LLC is the latest enrollee in the Oklahoma Quality Jobs Program, with the company promising to create an estimated 98 jobs over the next decade.
The maximum benefit Rely Energy could receive through the program is $2.6 million. The company, which was started in early 2010, helps small and midsize industrial and commercial customers find ways to control their power use and cut costs.
President and co-founder Don Frey said Rely has about 50 clients and is growing its presence in Oklahoma and Texas.
"Energy Star certification for buildings and facilities is a very important part of a comprehensive energy plan, and we're working to streamline this process for our clients," Frey said Monday. "We see lots of opportunities to save clients money, implement best energy practices and contribute toward long-term sustainability."
The Oklahoma Department of Commerce, the administrative entity for Quality Jobs, also announced that during the fiscal year that ended in June the projected capital investment for the program's enrollees was $166.8 million.
Gov. Mary Fallin praised the program and its latest beneficiary.
"My number one priority as governor continues to be to support the creation of good private sector jobs," she said in a news release. "The Quality Jobs Program is a great tool as we work towards that goal, and I applaud Rely Energy LLC for their work in Tulsa and throughout the state."
Approximately 43 percent of enrollees in the program during the last fiscal year were in rural communities, while the remaining 57 percent were from urban areas.
Additionally, 70 percent of Quality Jobs Program participants in fiscal year 2011 were awarded to existing companies, with the rest devoted to attracting new businesses to Oklahoma.

The importance of business planning
In every aspect of our lives the importance of planning is clear to see, so why do so many small business owners not give the same level of importance to planning when it comes to their company?

Succession planning for solo business owners
When you're the sole employee of your own company, you are the company, from CEO to receptionist. While that keeps costs low and affords considerable operating flexibility, flying solo makes succession planning problematic at best. There is no "& Son" in the company name to suggest who will take the reins when you retire, and you have no employees to buy the business from you. When you leave your business, it may cease to exist.That's not what you want to happen, of course.

To start off, can you briefly describe the phenomenon of "Convergence?"The word Convergence refers to the process of eliminating differences in accounting standards among countries. But Convergence also refers to the goal of that process - the absence of differences in accounting standards among countries. So Convergence is both a process and a goal.

Offering benefits reduces employee turnover in small businesses
A survey by the Office of Advocacy of the U.S. Small Business Administration reports that while job tenure is longer at larger firms, offering benefits reduces the probability of employees leaving jobs at any firm in a given year by 26.2 percent, and increases the probability that an employee will stay an additional year by 13.9 percent. In addition, the study found that for every year the employee remains on the job, the likelihood of turnover is reduced by 81 percent.

Joint Inversion of Production and Temperature Data Illuminates Vertical Permeability Distribution in Deep Reservoirs
Title: | Joint Inversion of Production and Temperature Data Illuminates Vertical Permeability Distribution in Deep Reservoirs |
Author: | Zhang, Zhishuai |
Abstract: | Characterization of connectivity in compartmentalized deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GoM) reservoirs is an outstanding challenge of the industry that can significantly impact the development planning and recovery from these assets. In these deep formations, temperature gradient can be quite significant and temperature data can provide valuable information about field connectivity, vertical fluid displacement, and permeability distribution in the vertical direction. In this paper, we examine the importance of temperature data by integrating production and temperature data jointly and individually and conclude that including the temperature data in history matching of deep GoM reservoirs can increase the resolution of reservoir permeability distribution map in the vertical direction. To illustrate the importance of temperature measurements, we use a coupled heat and fluid flow transport model to predict the heat and fluid transport in the reservoir. Using this model we ran a series of data integration studies including: 1) integration of production data alone, 2) integration of temperature data alone, and 3) joint integration of production and temperature data. For data integration, we applied four algorithms: Maximum A-Posteriori (MAP), Randomized Maximum Likelihood (RML), Sparsity Regularized Reconstruction and Sparsity Regularized RML methods. The RML and Sparsity Regularized RML approaches were used because they allow for uncertainty quantification and estimation of reservoir heterogeneity at a higher resolution. We also investigated the sensitivity of temperature and production data to the distribution of permeability, which showed that while production data primarily resolved the distribution of permeability in the horizontal direction, the temperature data did not display much sensitivity to permeability in the horizontal extent of the reservoir. The results of these experiments were compelling in that they clearly illuminated the role of temperature data in enhancing the resolution of reservoir permeability maps with depth. We present several experiments that clearly illustrate and support the conclusions of this study. |

Indianapolis Motor Speedway "doesn't need lights, (but) I think it would be awesome to race here at night," Jeff Gordon, above, said Friday. / Jerry Lai, USA TODAY Sports
INDIANAPOLIS - It would cost about $20 million to install lights at the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but that's nothing compared to what Clint Bowyer estimates the electric bill would be.
"You're going to need nuclear power to light this place," he said Friday. "You're going to have to shut down downtown to have enough power to light this track. It's huge."
IMS doesn't currently have lights, but officials hope to have them in place by the 2015 Brickyard 400 (the Indianapolis 500 would remain in its traditional daytime slot). The hope is to revive the struggling NASCAR event at the track, which has seen attendance fall from 280,000 in 2006 to an estimated 125,000 last year.
So would lights help the Indianapolis Motor Speedway?
"It doesn't need lights, (but) I think it would be awesome to race here at night," Jeff Gordon said. "I would never want to see the Indy 500 run under the lights. But the Brickyard 400 breaks traditions. ... Why not change it up?"
Saturday night races typically produce lower TV ratings than Sunday afternoon events, but Indianapolis often has scorching July temperatures (this year's race is expected to have highs in the mid-70s, though). A night race would offer a respite from the heat.
Gordon said having a Saturday night race would be important, because Sunday night races "can get a little tricky with travel."
"It seems like when it's a Saturday night, it's an exciting thing for fans and competitors," he said. "I've not seen a night race not be a win-win for everyone."
Bowyer, though, isn't totally sold. The tradition of running at Indy has always been about day races - for 104 years, actually. And Indianapolis has been built on tradition.
"That's what is important about this track in my opinion," he said. "It's always been a day race. I don't see why it shouldn't be."
Plus, he said, a night race would be less interesting. Cooler track temperatures provide for more grip, which means it could be easier for drivers to maintain their speed and position.
"At least in a day race on a Sunday, you slip and slide around quite a bit here and create some exciting racing," he said. "So I'm happy with a day race here."

Letter to the Editor: Response to "The Match Revealed" in August 2005 Issue
.To the Editor:
The Match Algorithm has a tremendous impact on our professional careers when it assigns young physicians to their residency programs. Making the Match favor students has long been a goal of the American Medical Student Association (AMSA). Prior to 1996, the Match algorithm favored residency programs. AMSA pushed for change so that the algorithm now favors students. Student-friendly changes to the Match only happen when medical students demand them, and AMSA has always been in the forefront of these movements.
After successfully leading the movement to improve the Match algorithm in the 1990s, AMSA again improved the system for students and residents when we worked to have contract disclosure prior to the ranking. It used to be that students did not know the details of the contract for their internship year until after they had already accepted the hospital's offer of a position, at which time it was too late to change their minds if they were not satisfied with the contract. AMSA changed that so now students are able to see the contracts that they will sign before they submit their rank lists.
AMSA has also been instrumental in increasing the number of student voices on the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) board. This ensures that the Match continues to work for students, rather than seeing students as resources to be distributed to the participating residency programs. Medical students have the most at stake in the medical education process, and we must be active participants in the system to shape it to further our goals.

More On Legal & Compliance
from The Advisor's Professional Library- Whistleblowers A whistleblower is any individual providing the SEC with original information related to a possible violation of federal securities law. The Dodd-Frank Act established a whistleblower program that enables the SEC to reward individuals who voluntarily provide such information.
- Risk-Based Oversight of Investment Advisors Even if the SEC had a larger budget and more resources, it is doubtful that the Commission would have the resources to regularly examine all RIAs. Therefore, the SEC is likely to continue relying on risk-based oversight to fulfill its mission of protecting investors.
A bill that started out as seven separate bills intended to benefit business startups and stimulate job creation has come in for so much criticism on its way to the Senate that opponents may prevail in strengthening consumer protections they say were trashed.
The House passed H.R. 3606, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, with bipartisan support on March 8, in a vote of 390-23, but not without vocal opposition from critics that range from consumer advocates to former SEC officials. After passage, the bill was pilloried in the press, and opponents swung into action to push for changes in legislation they saw as presenting a golden opportunity for fraud and deception.
Provisions of the bill include crowdfunding and substantially lower requirements for SEC registration for companies with less than $1 billion in revenue. On March 14, Majority Whip Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., called the crowdfunding language a "half-boiled concoction of ill-conceived ideas."
Senate Democrats have said they plan to address a number of the concerns voiced by critics in their own version of the bill. The North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) said Wednesday that it hoped for additional legislative action in the Senate before the bill is put to a vote, with the possibility of an amendment introduced by Democrats concerned about the lower threshold of consumer protection contained in the House version of the bill.
Bloomberg had reported that Lynn E. Turner, a former SEC chief accountant, said the bill would do away with investor protections that have been in place since the formation of the agency in the 1930s.
Turner was quoted saying, "It won't create jobs, but it will simplify fraud. This would be better known as the bucket-shop and penny-stock fraud reauthorization act of 2012." Others have been critical of the bill as well, despite its support from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, NYSE Euronext, Nasdaq OMX Group and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. President Obama has supported a number of provisions in the bill.
In an opinion piece in The Washington Post, John Coates and Robert Cozen criticized the loosened regulations on crowdfunding, saying they "would make it easier for future Bernie Madoffs to create, say, 50 fake firms, steal $50 million from unsuspecting investors and retire to a tropical island."
John Wasik said in a Forbes piece, "Does unfettered crowd funding and initial public stock offerings open the door to investment fraud? In the immortal words of philosopher Sarah Palin, 'you betcha.' While it sounds like one of those online innovations that may make capital available to a larger number of people, crowd funding could make the boiler room scams of the 1980s look like mere parking violations."
Jesse Eisinger of ProPublica wrote in The New York Times Dealbook that it would provide help "for all the wrong people."
Former SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt has criticized the bill, calling it a disgrace, as has Barbara Roper, director of investor protection for the Consumer Federation of America. John Nester, spokesman for Mary Schapiro, chairman of the SEC, said Schapiro "believes that portions of the legislation either unnecessarily eliminate important investor protections or are not balanced with sufficient safeguards."
NASAA had previously sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., asking that they address a number of what it said were shortcomings in the bill, particularly with regard to crowdfunding, before passage.
NASAA was also critical of provisions that lessen audit requirements as well as the ability of state regulators to oversee companies' efforts to raise capital. In addition, it said that many thresholds for consumer protection were too broad and eliminated important provisions for all but the largest of companies. In the letter, NASAA President Jack E. Herstein urged the Senate to address what he characterized as several critical weaknesses of the House bill.
"While NASAA applauds Congress' desire to facilitate access to capital for new and small businesses, the version of the bill that passed the House is deeply flawed," Herstein wrote. "State securities regulators support efforts by Congress to ensure that laws facilitating the raising of capital are modern and efficient, and that Americans are encouraged to raise money to invest in the economy. However, it is critical that in doing so, Congress not discard basic investor protections. Investment fraud is real, and it can be particularly pervasive in small exempted offerings."

AP Photo/Manuel Balce CenetaGiven the deeply flawed state of the Republican presidential field, the 2012 campaign is shaping up to be Barack Obama's race to lose.
But with his approval ratings in the cellar and his economic recovery plans DOA, the President still faces an uphill battle to convince disaffected voters and alienated Democrats to get back on board his campaign.
Clearly, Obama's current strategy isn't working. Both the West Wing and the campaign are plagued by internal divisions, driven by longtime staffers who have spent the last three years alienating the party base and knocking Obama off his message.
There is still an opportunity to change course. With 12 months to go until Election Day, the President has some time to shake up his team and reverse his downward spiral. But since Obama has so far been unwilling to make the tough calls, we've compiled some suggestions of who should get the boot.
It's time for a massacre.

Does anyone know why the Magic arrives so late in Key West? Does the trip down from Port Canaveral really take that long?
Not sure why but it always has arrived that time.....sometimes, though, they do stay until much later (usually when they are giving the crew some needed extra time off). This may not be announced ahead of time...just something that may happen once you are onboard. MJ
We heard from a CM yesterday late afternoon that they were going to stay overnight in Key West last night. He was very happy about it.
I would imagine it's that time because it takes that long. When we went in February, we had to stop because the ship saw a boat of Cuban refugees. We had to wait for the Coast Guard for an hour and a half or so, and were late docking in Key West as a result. I would assume if they could get there quicker, they would.
It does take that long. I knew it was a few hundred nautical miles but couldn't remember exactly how many. I did find a port distance calculation and it calculated it out to 320 nautical miles from Port Canaveral to Key West. If they sail on time, they usually aren't out of the channel and "up to speed" until 6pm. Then when they arrive in Key West area around 11am, it's pretty slow going from that time into the port. That leaves about 17 hours of travel at speed (I know they go slower until after dinner the first night and they speed up overnight) but that still calculates out to an average speed of just under 19 knots and that sounds about right.
I was watching the ship on the Westin webcam last night, and was wondering why it was still there at 10PM!
