The good news about your frustrations
Golden children who lives a perfectly clean, easy, pain-free, frustration-free life don't die a hero.
Heroes are born on the battlefields of life.
The best stories always involve pain, and conflict, and heartache, and failures, and then victories.
Without the sting of failure, you can't understand the sweetness of victory.
Without the gut-wrench of pain, you can't understand the beauty of love.
Without stumbling flat on your face, you can't understand grace.
God's willing to breathe hope and life and beauty into your frustrating story if you'll ask.
our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. – 1 Corinthians 4:17
Good leaders are good listeners
My son is piecing lots of words and thoughts and phrases together. It's quite hilarious, actually. Here are a few he's said recently.
Right there! Daddy…Poppy…eat…hot!
Translation: "I ate dinner there with Poppy one night, and his plate was so hot it burned me."
Oh no! Wait…Daddy…church…right there!
Translation: "We just drove by the road that we turn down to go to church…turn around!"
Translation: "Daddy and I played on the playground at that school and it was fun!"
Translation: 'I helped Daddy work outside.' (see picture below for when he said that)
Translation: "Daddy, would you turn your hat around backwards?"
Translation: "Daddy, you smell bad." (I get that one a lot…)
But this is the one that takes the cake:
Daddy die!
Out of context, this statement from my son seems oddly dark and twisted. In context it makes perfect sense. I promise you my son is not a weirdo.
See, if you'd been there in the moment, you wouldn't have thought anything was out of place. He was riding his four-wheeler, and right in the middle of the yard, the battery died. All he was doing was letting me know that, so that I'd go plug it back in and charge it up. Not weird at all.
And that's what building a relationship does. It helps put things into context. It helps make sense of a person. Learning their story, understanding their struggles, their heartaches, their missed opportunities, their hopes and dreams takes them from being an "outsider" to being someone you relate with and that you can serve with. All of a sudden, they're not so un-relatable…you begin to see how your stories at some level mesh, and how you can speak truth into that person's life.
Relationships are difficult, no doubt. And they're messy and frustrating and will test your patience and your life's calling. But taking the time to hear someone's story, helping them pull out the bright spots, shining light in the dark places, will make you a better leader. Because through truly getting to know people, not just brushing them off and casting them to the side, you'll grow to love them more.
People aren't a means to an end. They're your calling. It doesn't matter what "business" you're in.
Good leaders are good listeners.
It happened one Thursday night
This is a series of posts where small group experts share how group life has impacted them personally. The entire series can be found HERE.
This is a guest post from Mark Howell, founder of SmallGroupResources.net, and Community Life Pastor at Parkview Christian Church. You should read Mark's blog HERE, and follow him on twitter and Facebook.
Ever read the Gospels and find yourself thinking, "Would have loved to be a fly on that wall! What an amazing conversation! Wish I could've been there!"
One of those stories actually came to life for me not long ago. We were studying the 10 commandments using The Ten by Liquid. We were working our way through the session on "You shall not murder (Exodus 20:13)." The way the study works is that it doesn't stop with a look at the commandment itself. It flows right into what Jesus had to say about the commandment in Matthew 5:21-22 and then what John had to say in 1 John 3:11-24.
In order to fully get the scene, you need to know a couple things about my group.
- My wife and I agreed to help some friends of ours get a group started to do 40 Days of Purpose. But the thing is, they live about 35 minutes away. We really weren't in it for the long haul. Just to help them get it started.
- As our group members went around and introduced themselves on that first night…we were amazed to find out that something like 9 of the 12 who were there had religious backgrounds where they really knew very little about the Bible.
Two things have been going on since we started in October.
- I dread that drive every week. Just sayin'.
- Some amazing things happen almost every week.
Now back to the night we were talking about "you shall not murder." We were wrestling with phrases like "anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment (Matthew 5:22)" and "anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him (1 John 3:15).
It was already quite a discussion. And then…without warning three different group members blurted out the equivalent of "if that's really the way it is then am I going to hell?"
Oh. My.
It was seriously amazing. I said, "That is a great question, you guys! Let's take a minute to clear up something right now. If you have your Bible, turn over to 1 John 1:9 and let's get something in concrete right now." And we spent the next few minutes making sure my new friends got the idea that we're all human, that all of us have fallen short, and that God's forgiveness is always only a moment away. And not only that, but that our relationship with God is always secure.
What a night! Easily one of the top 10 spiritual experiences of my life. My friends left the group that night knowing a very big thing. Their faith was strengthened. And you know what? So was mine! I'll never look at that commandment the same way again. And neither will my friends.
Have you ever had a small group discussion that really clarified some part of the Christian life for you?
Have you ever had a "spiritual experience" in a small group?

The Old is Gone, 11s on the 1s
Graphic by Matt Gruber
In a concerted effort to use fewer words and drive home a more powerful point, I'm writing 11-word posts. You can see other posts in this series HERE.
They don't attempt to answer every question you may have. They aren't going to change your life. But, hopefully they'll make you think. And since they're so short, you don't have an excuse not to read them.
The Old is Gone
God's love is much bigger than your past failures. Believe it.
The power of your story
You have a story.
It may be ugly and offensive.
It may be neat and pretty.
It may be rough and unfinished.
And you're probably scared to share it, because of what people will think when they hear it.
But sharing your story within community is one of the most powerful things you can do to build community.
I recently shared my story with my small group.
And let me tell you…it felt great.
To have people intently listening to my life story, nod their head in understanding, ask probing questions, and affirm God's work in my life felt so freeing.
And confirmed to me the value of my story.
You have a story.
And the beautiful part is that God's still working on you.
Will you consider building community around sharing your story and listening to others' stories?

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Our local VA health care system has been under Contact 13's microscope for months, exposing the lack of local access, delays in care and wait lists that are thousands of veterans long.
What does a change in Washington leadership mean for Southern Nevada?
Lawmakers and veterans are giving a mixed reaction to VA Secretary Eric Shinseki's resignation.
Most are concerned with what's going to be done to lower wait times and give veterans access to care, no matter who's in charge at the top. They're wondering, as a figurehead topples, where does that leave troops on the ground?
"The problems with the Veterans Administration is endemic," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, speaking at UNLV Friday morning.
Reid described Eric Shinseki as an American patriot, a 100 percent disabled, decorated combat veteran from Vietnam who was also a lead general in Iraq, where Las Vegas Marine Lu Lobello served.
"The fact that Mr. Shinseki resigned is not what I was looking for as a combat vet," Lobello said.
Though the recent VA scandal happened on Shinseki's watch, many said the general isn't the problem.
"Simply don't have enough resources," Reid said. "We're short primary care physicians. We have these people cooking the books so they get bonuses."
Cooking the books in the Phoenix VA system to mask long waiting lists is what started the call for Shinseki's resignation.
In Las Vegas, Contact 13 has exposed waiting lists that are thousands of veterans long, and they're in danger of getting longer.
"We have millions, millions of new veterans coming back," said Reid. "The VA is overwhelmed with these new veterans."
Just how overwhelmed?
Nationwide in the VA health care system, there are just over 19,000 doctors, 1,900 physician assistants and 2,500 nurse practitioners to serve 8.9 million veterans.
"I want to hear they're taking the problem of VA health care as seriously as they took the surge in Iraq," said Lobello. "I want to hear that the country's dedicating the resources necessary to fix this problem within a two or three month time period."
That's exactly what Sen. Reid said is not going to happen.
"The problem's not going to be solved in a matter of a month or two. It's an ongoing, long, difficult problem and we have to recognize it. And we have to give the VA resources to do this."
Lobello said Shinseki shouldn't be the only one under fire.
"Why are we looking at it that now that he's gone, we've made some symbolic gesture to the veterans when in actuality, people have been knowing about this much higher than Eric Shinseki?"
Lobello wants accountability from lawmakers on the House and Senate Veterans Affairs Committees.
Most of Nevada's delegation issued statements Friday, echoing Reid's assessment of the VA's systemic problems.
Sen. Heller and Rep. Titus spoke of standards not met and grievous failures in management and patient care.
Rep. Horsford talked about pushing for final approval of a VA clinic in Pahrump and raising the level of service at the VA hospital in North Las Vegas.
But veterans like Lobello said actions speak louder than words.
"They can easily blame it on bureaucracy and this is a big system and this will take time, but when we and my friends were down range and we were approaching Baghdad, you didn't hear us slow down because we didn't have body armor. You didn't hear us slow down because we didn't have the right vehicles. They gave us a mission, they gave us a time frame and we got it done within that time frame. And that's what I expect from my government right now. I expect a surge of resources to go the VA."
In addition to more providers, Lobello said the VA needs quick reaction teams to go out into our community and identify veterans who cannot wait months for care and make sure they're brought into the system right away.

What causes abdominal pain, feels hot to touch and pain? 68 possible conditions
See a list of possible causes in order from the most common to the least.
UTIs are usually caused by bacteria and can occur in any part of the urinary tract. Symptoms of upper UTIs include pain in the upper back, chills, fever, and nausea.
This condition is considered a medical emergency. Urgent care may be required.
Food poisoning occurs when you consume foods contaminated with bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Symptoms are usually uncomfortable but not severe. Serious reactions can be life threatening and require medical treatment.
Viral gastroenteritis, also known as the stomach flu, is caused by a number of different viruses. Its symptoms usually last for two to three days.
This condition is considered a medical emergency. Urgent care may be required.
Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix, which can be fatal if left untreated. The telltale sign is pain that usually starts as mild cramping, especially on the right side, and becomes more severe over time.
Gallstones are hard deposits in the gallbladder that can eventually block the exiting bile ducts. Abdominal pain, fever, itchy skin, and jaundice are possible symptoms.
Kidney stones are solid masses of crystalized calcium or other substances that originate in the kidneys but can pass through the urinary tract. The greatest risk factor is making less than one liter of urine per day.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a lymphatic system cancer. Symptoms may include swollen lymph nodes, chest pain, fatigue, and fever.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a highly infectious disease that primarily affects the lungs. A severe and long-lasting cough, fever, and night sweats could indicate an active TB infection.
Giardiasis is a parasitic infection of the small intestine. It may cause fatigue, stomach pain, bloating, and excessive gas.
Bacterial infections are common causes of gastrointestinal infections. This type of infection is also called "food poisoning" and is often caused by poor hygiene or ingesting foods contaminated with bacteria.
Diverticulitis occurs when the bulging sacs that usually appear in the lining of the large intestine get infected or inflamed. This usually causes abdominal tenderness on the lower left side, nausea, and diarrhea.
Gallbladder disease is a term for various conditions that affect the organ. The majority of these diseases are caused by irritation to the gallbladder wall. Gallstones, cholecystitis, and polyps are gallbladder diseases.
Acute pancreatitis is an inflammation in the pancreas, which causes pain and swelling in the upper left side of the abdomen, nausea, and burping.
This condition is considered a medical emergency. Urgent care may be required.
Peritonitis is the inflammation of a thin layer of tissue inside the abdomen. Caused by bacteria or fungus, it causes tenderness, bloating, fatigue, greying of the skin, and other problems.
Crohn's disease is a chronic bowel disease that causes severe inflammation of the digestive tract. It is associated with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and may affect your quality of life. Crohn's disease is characterized b...
This condition is considered a medical emergency. Urgent care may be required.
Toxic megacolon is a rare, life-threatening swelling of the large intestine that occurs within a few days. Symptoms, which can come on suddenly, include abdominal pain and bloating, fever, and diarrhea.
Salmonella food poisoning is an infection in the small intestine by Salmonella, which is found in animal feces. It's marked by abdominal pain, chills, diarrhea, fever, muscle pain, and vomiting.
Infectious mononucleosis, or "mono," is a group of symptoms caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. One potential symptom is a pink rash that looks like the measles.
In UC, the lining of the large intestine and the rectum become inflamed. This produces tiny sores or ulcers on the lining of the colon, often accompanied by diarrhea and cramping.

Apple tackles India
28 February 2013
BANGALORE: Apple, the consumer electronics giant, is putting in place a new strategy for growth in India, where its market share languishes a long way behind Android-powered devices.
A new report from Canalys, a mobile research firm, says Apple sold
500,000 iPhones
in India during 2012, mostly in the final quarter when the iPhone 5 was launched. But the high price of this device ensures it remains out of reach for most people in the country.
This figure also compares with 19.6m iPhone shipments to China and 1.4m to Brazil.
Accordingly, Apple is linking up with new distributors including Ingram Micro and Reddington as it seeks to reach a wider market.
It is also employing more sales and marketing staff – numbers are up 30% in the past six months – who will be used to train service providers and retailers.
And, thirdly, it is addressing the issue of affordability with a 12-month payment plan.
"Most people in India can't afford a dollar-priced phone when the salaries in India are rupee salaries. But the desire is the same," Himanshu Chakrawarti, chief executive of The MobileStore chain, told
The Star
The MobileStore claims to sell 15% of iPhones in the country and saw sales triple between December and January, after the monthly payment scheme was launched.
Apple is restricted from selling directly via its own shops or online, and instead currently sells through around 2,000 "mom-and-pop" stores and 65 franchisee-owned "Apple shops" in malls and other high-end spots.
The moves are a turnaround from CEO Tim Cook's position last year when he said that Apple had "higher potential in the intermediate term in some other countries." And he observed then that "the multi-layer distribution there [India] really adds to the cost of getting products to market".
As well as looking to sell more phones, Apple is also stepping up the introduction of its other devices; Apple TV is expected to reach stores very soon.
This is an area where
high brand recognition
is thought to have benefited Samsung, which also sells products such as television sets and air conditioners.

Though not a dependency per se, don't forget that you also need the CMake build system, at least version 2.8.3. Additional help on how to use the CMake build system is available on our tutorials page.
Please note that the following installation instructions are only valid for POSIX systems (e.g., Linux, MacOS) with an already installed make/gnu toolchain. For instructions on how to download and compile PCL in Windows (which uses a slightly different process), please visit our tutorials page.
For systems for which we do not offer precompiled binaries, you need to compile Point Cloud Library (PCL) from source. Here are the steps that you need to take:
tar xvfj PCL-1.6.0-Source.tar.bz2
cd PCL-1.6.0-Source && mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..Or change them:
ccmake ..Please note that cmake might default to a debug build. If you want to compile a release build of PCL with enhanced compiler optimizations, you can change the build target to "Release" with "-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release".
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
makeAnd install the result:
make installor alternatively, if you did not change the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable which declares where PCL should be installed, do:
sudo make install
cd PCL-1.6.0 && mkdir build && cd build cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. make sudo make installAgain, for a detailed tutorial on how to compile and install PCL and its dependencies in Microsoft Windows, please visit our tutorials page. Additional information for developers is available at the Github PCL Wiki.
If you are eager to try out a certain feature of PCL that is currently under development (or you plan on developing and contributing to PCL), we recommend you try checking out our source repository, as shown below. If you're just interested in browsing our source code, you can do so by visiting https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl.
git clone https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl pcl-trunkPlease note that above steps (3-5) are almost identical for compiling the experimental PCL trunk code:
cd pcl-trunk && mkdir build && cd build cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. make sudo make install
Because PCL is split into a list of code libraries, the list of dependencies differs based on what you need to compile. The difference between mandatory and optional dependencies, is that a mandatory dependency is required in order for that particular PCL library to compile and function, while an optional dependency disables certain functionality within a PCL library but compiles the rest of the library that does not require the dependency.
pcl_* denotes all PCL libraries, meaning that the particular dependency is a strict requirement for the usage of anything in PCL.
The following code libraries are required for the compilation and usage of the PCL libraries shown below:
The following code libraries enable certain additional features for the PCL libraries shown below, and are thus optional:

Electric motors and cold weather don't usually work very well together, a fact early adopters of recent primarily-electric cars such as the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt have become quite aware of during this chilly winter. Obviously, testing in cold weather is even more important for hybrids and electric cars than it is for conventionally-powered cars.
So we're not surprised BMW has been testing their
diesel gas-electric Efficient Dynamics/i8 prototype in Scandinavia, as the videos below show. We are a little surprised they left the concept car's license plates on, though. Did they have an inkling someone with a video camera would be watching? Or do they just want to score a few easy points with the powerful caribou lobby?

Excused (2): Larkin, Montgomery
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the tax law, in relation to the clean heating fuel personal income tax credit; and to amend chapter 35 of the laws of 2006 amending the tax law relating to a clean heating fuel credit, in relation to extending the applicability of such credit until January 1, 2017
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To extend the personal income tax clean heating fuel credit until January 1, 2017 and to make conforming amendments to Chapter 35 of the Laws of 2006. Chapter 591 of the laws of 2011 already extends this provision until 2017 for corporate owners of residential developments. As referenced in the Bill Approval memo (No 11 Chapter 591) this bill represents a three-way agreement to a chapter amendment aimed at allowing individual homeowners to also claim this credit for five more years.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends tax law section 606(mm)(1) to extend the effective date for the clean heating fuel credit. The credit will be affected for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2017.
Section 2 amends Chapter 35 of the laws of 2006, as amended by section three of part AAA-1 of chapter 57 of the laws of 2008 by extending the taxable years for which this credit may be claimed. The date has been extended to include all taxable years beginning before January 1, 2017.
JUSTIFICATION: Governor Pataki first signed this tax credit into law in 2006, in order to promote the use of clean heating fuel, in order to improve air quality, protect our environment and encourage domestic sources of fuel. This credit was extended in 2009, and thousands of New Yorkers took advantage of the credit by burning cleaner, more renewable and less carbon laden heating oil.
During the intervening period more and more consumers have become aware of biodiesel and its environmental and clean air benefits. As consumers replace their traditional heating oil with greener biodiesel blends, it is vitally important that this tax credit be extended.
This tax credit expired for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2011, which means that customers already taking advantage of it will lose this benefit and return to less environmentally friendly sources of fuel. In order to protect these consumers, and to promote clean air and a safer environment, the clean heating fuel tax credit must be extended.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2011: S.5349/A.7793 enacted as Chapter 591 of the laws of 2011 2008: S.6807C/A.9804C enacted as Part AAA-1 of Chapter 57 of

Alec Baldwin Tweets: Military Gunning for Obama
Posted By kurtnimmoadmin On June 28, 2013 @ 2:11 pm In Featured Stories,Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile | Comments Disabled
Kurt Nimmo
June 28, 2013
The ever irascible actor Alec Baldwin recently sent out a tweet musing on the prospect of a military coup d'état aimed at the Obama administration.
Baldwin is a longtime Democrat liberal who has toyed with the idea of ruling New York City. He believes Obama's ratings plunge is due to racist white people and not his dismal performance as a window dressed mannequin for the ruling elite.
"If we were in another country," the actor said in 1998, "we would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and kill their wives and their children. We would kill their families, for what they're doing to this country," a reference to the impeachment of president Bill Clinton for perjury and obstruction of justice.
Earlier this year, Democrats and other Obama worshippers feared the anointed teleprompter reader would be cast from office after he fired several military bosses, including top brass honcho General Mattis.
Or maybe Baldwin is reading the posts of the shadowy anonymous disinfo operative-blogger Sorcha Faal who last November supposedly quoted the Russian military's main intelligence directorate as saying Obama removed the Navy's Rear Admiral Charles M. Gaouette for allegedly refusing to stand down after trusty al-Qaeda operatives attacked the consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
However, according to the official story, Gaouette was part of a large number of senior military officers who were "investigated or fired for poor judgment, malfeasance, sexual improprieties or sexual violence," the New York Times reported.
Mr. Baldwin may want to limit his public activity to attacking and verbally abusing reporters and the paparazzi. For somebody who has a hankering to lord over New York as Nanny Bloomberg's successor, paranoid fantasies conjuring up reactionary militarists taking out Obama are anything but helpful.

D.C. Officials To Show Off New Taxicab Meters
August 22, 2012 11:38 AM
WASHINGTON (AP) — District of Columbia officials will be showing off a new taxicab meter that allows riders to pay by credit card, among other features.
The new "smart meters" are part of a package of taxicab reforms approved this year and will be installed in the coming weeks.
Credit card readers and GPS devices will be required in all cabs, and cabs will also be asked to adopt a uniform color scheme.
The smart meters will also allow riders to view news and weather reports and allow drivers and passengers to quickly contact police or medical personnel.
Mayor Vincent Gray and other officials will demonstrate the new meter at a news conference Wednesday.

2011 Breeders' Cup Invites Golden Knights for Opening Ceremony
Churchill Downs has been in the businness of Horse Racing for 137 years. Famous for their "Twin Spires," they regularly bring crowds of 150,000+ to partake in the racing culture. It's hard to believe that this monumental track has never shared its grounds with a parachute team. Fortunately, Black Team was proud to change that and add a new venue to their history!
Fort Belvoir Community Hospital Grand Opening
October 28, 2011 will be a day remembered for many civilians, Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines of the Fort Belvoir Virginia area. Today marked the grand opening of the 1.03 Billion dollar medical facility. This facility will be replacing the famed Walter-Reed Medical Center the earlier this year has begun their closing process. This is America's newest, most extraordinary, most technically advanced facility, said Vice Adm. John M. Mateczun, commander of Joint Task Force National Capital Region Medical. Gold Team was honored in being apart of the opening ceremony for the Fort Belvoir Community Hospital that will serve so many of our fellow service members.
Gold Team was given the opportunity to fly the original Red Cross flag that was flown over Walter-Reed for so many wonderful years. The trust and honor of delivering this flag was given to SFC Dustin Peregrin of Canby Oregon. After jumping from 2,500 feet in almost 20 degree weather the Gold Demonstration team delivered Red Cross flag on target and on time. We then concluded our jump with an opportunity to meet and greet with the staff of the hospital. Gold Team returns back to Fort Bragg for 1 week and then we are off to Texas.


text: A Monday morning mishap in Wellington captures the attention of bystanders and emergency personnel. An unidentified 16-year-old male was traveling north on Center Street when the youth reportedly became distracted and hit a parked car, indicated Wellington Police Sgt. Kelly Maines. Speed was not a contributing factor in the accident. Fortunately, the driver was wearing a seatbelt and sustained only minor injuries in connection with the incident, pointed out the Wellington police sergeant. The mishap occurred one block from the teen's home.

Came home after a little Halloween fun last night to destroyed decorations in my yard. No permanent damage, no reason to make any official complaints, but just plain mean. I feel bullied and violated. They came into our closed front fence to do this. Probably either drunk on their way home or some dumb kids out on the prowl thinking they're cool, but no excuses. I love my neighborhood and usually feel very safe, and that just put a whole big damper on my outlook on people in general. Just mean. Makes me feel a little better to rant about it. If you get a chance, try to spread some friendly vibes around WS for me. I'm sure I'm not the only one who could use them.

rant: late night bullies
people who destroy things for fun need a new definition of fun
We took the littles trick-or-treating and were gone from about 6-7. Came home to one of our carved pumpkins smashed. Grrrr. My littlest who is 2 1/2 didn't seem concerned, but my 5 year-old was very upset. He asked me to move his carved pumpkin (which wasn't smashed) to the back deck so nothing would happen to it. I felt so bad for him, his spirit a little crushed. I know, not a big deal in the scheme of things, but jeez. The night had barely begun and pumpkins were already smashed? At least let us have them lit for the night!
On a positive note though, we had a lot of fun begging for candy. Everyone was so sweet with our boys, lots of smiles and pumpkins. The best house we went to had lots of orange and purple lights, lit pumpkins, a giant black spider web on the porch, and Harry Potter music playing. When the door opened, the owner had a had a magic wand she tapped the boys' buckets with. It was so cool. We all agreed that it was our favorite house of the night.
There. Now I feel better. Any other stories of kindness or fun from last night??
The Harry Potter house sounds awesome. As far as the pumpkin and Halloween decoration vandals - one can only assume that the perps have very, very small wands.
Sending good vibes to cbof.
Say, did anyone notice whether this was a big year for princesses? My granddaughters both went as princesses, and so did all their friends.
Princesses are a thing now, right?
How worried should we be about that?
Thanks, guys! Keep 'em coming!
When I helped out with the candy handout in the junction I saw alot of princesses. I love the princesses.
Those damn kids on a sugar high!
I had one of my pumpkins smashed this year, but it had an unexpected happy result:
That does feel kind of redeeming! Maybe the people who wrecked my stuff don't even remember doing it. Still sucks, but at least doesn't feel so personal. :-) Thanks!

IAB To Extend Membership Benefits To Small Publishers, Mobilizes Them To Fend Off Adverse Regulations
The IAB announced that it would open a new class of membership for small interactive publishers in an effort to mobilize them to prevent adverse state and Federal regulation that could hinder the publishers' ability to sell or carry advertising.
"Campaigns have been launched at both the Federal and state levels to seek government regulation of many of the core processes and technologies that support interactive advertising, and the potential impact on small publishers can't be underestimated," said Randall Rothenberg, president and CEO of the IAB.
Proposals are currently before the Federal Trade Commission and have been or may be introduced in the governments of New York State and Connecticut that would severely constrain "third party internet advertising." The IAB's analysis of the proposed regulations is that they would have a disproportionately negative impact on small publishers whose advertising sales are largely or entirely managed by ad networks.
In support of this effort, the IAB is offering small publishers a special introductory rate of $500 a year. IAB Small Publisher Membership is open to any publisher that sells indirectly, through a network, or directly, and has revenues under $1 million per year. The many benefits include:
• Special pricing for IAB events
• Training programs and webinars designed exclusively for small publishers
• Access to IAB networking events around the country
• Business insurance and protection programs
• Membership in IAB's new Small Publisher Committee;
• Representation by the IAB in Washington on industry-related public policy issues
For more details on IAB's Small Publisher Membership Program, and to register, visit www.iab.net/publishers. If you have any questions, please email Vice President of Member Services Michael Theodore at [email protected].

|ASU Wins Third Straight, Downs EKU

|Wednesday, 03 April 2013 07:59
A three-run seven inning, highlighted by a Dillon Dobson homerun over the right center wall, propelled Appalachian State University baseball to a 9-6 win over Eastern Kentucky Tuesday afternoon at Turkey
Hughes Field. Dobson, who was slotted in the second spot in the lineup, combined with leadoff hitter Hector Crespo to go 7-for-11 with three runs and five RBI. The duo also combined for the cycle as Dobson tallied a double and a home run, while Crespo began the game with a leadoff triple and recorded a single.

Soniel Anderson, the 18-year-old man who was caught on camera breaking into a computer laboratory at the Spalding High School in Clarendon on September 3 last year, was sentenced to 18 months' hard labour when he appeared in the Mandeville Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday for sentencing.
Anderson, who was granted bail on November 14 by Resident Magistrate Desrene Alleyne when his father pleaded with the judge to release him from the Mandeville lock-up where he spent two months, pleaded guilty when he reappeared in court.
While he was on bail, he allegedly broke into a teacher's house at Contrivance in Manchester, and stole a laptop. That incident took place on December 9. He pleaded not guilty and is to reappear in court in August to answer to housebreaking charge.

Steam Controller: A new way to play
If your head has been in the ground all weekend you might have missed Valve's third and final announcement for the next stage of their distribution service turned gaming platform Steam. We brought you updates on the announcements of both the SteamOS and the Steam Machines, and our speculative Triforce gets its final triangle with the Steam Controller. Aw geez, we wanted Half Life 3 as well.
For some time now, the public have suspected Valve of developing a next-gen controller, something to revolutionize gamepads forever. It seems we finally have that product. The Steam Controller aims to bring the functionality and precision of a keyboard to the palm of your hands . . . and the floor of your living-room it would seem. To get around compatibility issues arising from the current Steam catalog, the team at Valve have designed the Steam Controller to react like a keyboard and mouse, meaning all games will be able to configure the controller in their respective in game settings screens.
The controller is comprised of two large clickable trackpads, replacing the traditional thumb sticks. It also features a high-resolution touch screen in its middle, which is also clickable. The controller claims to be truly ambidextrous with the ability to switch between left and right hand preferences. Valve recognize the need for some feedback stronger than the lovable rumble unit in previous designs, so both trackpads feature "dual linear resonant actuators", which provide highly sensitive levels of haptic feedback, adding to degree of accuracy and precision players can execute commands in game. This means genres such as FPS and RTS are no longer to be left in the realm of the keyboard and mouse.
Knowing full well that the Steam community will be just jumping at the opportunity to get tinkering with their controllers, Valve have stated that the devices were built to be fully Hackable, both in hardware and software. In other words, let the hacking begin. If you've signed up for the Steam Machine Beta, yes the controller is included but unfortunately it will be one of an earlier design. The only real differences are wireless support, and the touch screen, which will be replaced by four buttons.
It would seem that while our three tastes of Steam's future are over, there is still so much more in stall for the Steam Universe. Valve have stated that while the big updates are over, they'll be releasing further information and details as time progresses. If you haven't yet signed up for the Steam Machine Beta, you can get onto it here. My name will be on the list and I suggest you all get yours on it as well. The Anti-Grav team are very excited about the future of PC gaming, and the evolution of Steam is sure to be the first in a long list of developments Valve will be bring us.

Club3D R9 290 Royal Ace Review
3D Mark 11
Published: 20th June 2014 | Source: Club 3D | Price: |
3D Mark 11
The good performance continues in 3D Mark 11, although there are some gaps appearing between the Radeon variants. Obviously the higher the detail level the better the 290X's show, but the Club3D isn't far behind.

Today we're looking at a tri-fan card from Club3D, the Royal Ace R9 290.

One thing I would like to say though, is there any need to run Cloud gate on these high end GPUs? It is a score that I, and I'm sure many others, don't want to see.
Sky diver would be more relevant, but i do understand that there wouldn't be many cards to compare score though.
You new mic sounds good Tom.
Very nice looking card. I like the look of the shroud and back plate. Are the club 3D cards only available in Europe? I tried to find a price from a USA E-Tailer and could not find it for sale.
On the audio quality. It is much improved. Your voice sounds good, not brittle, or thin. It provides a nice rounded full sound. Noise from the background is not apparent and that is a good thing. Is it a Omni-directional pattern mic or a Cardioid pattern one?
Thanks again
Chin Chin.
Besides the odd flickering (usually during transitions) nice video
p.s classic Rooney comparison!
Are those FPS numbers from the built-in benchmark of the china-town sequence?

During the first day of helmet and pads at Corona del Mar High in August, Coach Jason Hitchens thought about starting the season with Clay Reinhardt at wide receiver.
He made the right decision by not moving the senior outside.
Reinhardt rushed for 167 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries Friday, helping the Sea Kings beat Savanna, 36-14, at Newport Harbor High.
In the second half, Reinhardt recorded most of his yards, 113. The biggest run of the night belonged to Reinhardt, a 27-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter that gave CdM a 22-point lead.
**Senior Mitch Gardner accomplished something no Sea Kings quarterback was able to last season. He threw two touchdown passes in a game.
Gardner found Cole Cottrell twice for scores against defending Orange League champion Savanna and became the first CdM quarterback to finish with two touchdowns passes in a game since Mitch Sands did on Nov. 28, 2008. Sands' feat came in a victory in the quarterfinals of the CIF Southern Section Southern Division playoffs, while Gardner's was in a season opener.
Hitchens will take Gardner's performance after he said the biggest question mark going into the season was the quarterback position.
Gardner, who completed seven of 15 passes for 77 yards, has Huntington Beach next. The Oilers are from the Sunset League.
**The Sea Kings won their 10th straight season opener, third with Hitchens as coach.
Costa Mesa has not figured out how to start the season on a winning note under Coach Jeremy Osso.
Osso failed to lead the Mustangs to victory in his fifth straight season opener as Costa Mesa lost to Buena Park, 40-17, at Jim Scott Stadium.
Osso's teams the past five years have been outscored, 246-40, in openers. The last time Costa Mesa kicked off the season with a victory was in 2001.
Osso and Costa Mesa play host to Santiago next week. The second week has not been much better than the first for Osso. Costa Mesa has only one win to show, a forfeit it picked up in 2007.
**Costa Mesa committed 12 penalties for 75 yards. Half of the penalties came in the first quarter, contributing to the Mustangs falling behind Buena Park, 20-7.
Five times the defense jumped offside. One of the miscues in the third quarter helped the Coyotes gain a first down without snapping the ball on fourth-and-two on the Mustangs' 40-yard line.
Costa Mesa hurt itself again on the same drive. Four plays later, with Buena Park facing a third-and-20, the Coyotes completed a wide-receiver screen that resulted in a 45-yard touchdown.
**Nathan Alvis' debut as the quarterback at Costa Mesa was a rocky one.
Buena Park sacked the left-handed junior six times. Alvis completed nine of 16 passes for 91 yards. He recorded the Mustangs' lone touchdown from scrimmage after running in from five yards out early in the fourth quarter.

Ex-NZ skipper Vettori to play for Northern Districts at CL T20 tournament in India
Former New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori will play for domestic side Northern Districts province in next month's Champions League Twenty20 cricket tournament in India.
Vettori, who played the most recent of his 112 Tests for New Zealand two years ago, became available when his Jamaican side was eliminated from competing in the Caribbean Premier League, Sport24 reported.
New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson is unavailable for Northern Districts, but would be participating in the Champions tournament with his Indian Premier League side, the Mumbai Indians.
Northern Districts' 15-man squad has yet to be confirmed, but would surely include Vettori and current or former New Zealand players Scott Styris, Kane Williamson, Tim Southee, Trent Boult, BJ Watling and Daniel Flynn, the report added.

Chittagong, Bangladesh
This iReport is part of an assignment:
Your favorite Eid traditions
In Bangladesh it is common for the city folks to return home to their villages in the days leading up to Eid to avoid the last-minute rush.
"If Eid happens to be on a Friday, I will consider myself lucky since I have my day off from the hospital. If that's the case, I will get to spend it with my extended family including my young cousins. But if it's on Saturday I will have to sacrifice my day by being at the hospital. I guess, as a doctor, one can't complain about such situations but rather take up responsibility," he said.
"The true happiness of Eid is slowly disappearing as I grow older. From my years of receiving gifts from elders, I will need to step up to give gifts to my younger cousins and relatives. Hopefully, giving will be equally fulfilling as receiving gifts during my childhood years," he added.
- stinabacker, CNN iReport producer
Railways prove to be a popular form of transport, but the number of seats available don't do justice to the number of prospective passengers.
There is still a week or so left for Eid, but people have already started to move to avoid the rush at the very end. I decided to photograph the events from such an earlier phase since I thought it would give me a complete picture. The journey they are making is of great significance because I beleive the journeys that take you home are always the most meaningful.
Its a great occasion, and somehow tells us how big a fraction of the city people are actually from outside the city, people who are part of the definition of city and how their roots are far away from it.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a historic bill on July 6 that will extend protection to egg-laying hens that live in other states, if the egg producers want to do business in California. The new humane law will have hens across the country spreading their wings with joy.
The bill, AB1437 will require out-of-state egg farmers that want to sell eggs in California grocery stores to adhere to the humane confinement rules created by Proposition 2. That law was passed in 2008 and will be fully implemented by 2015. Proposition 2 ends the use of inhumane battery cages to house chickens.
The Humane Society of the United States said this means all hens that contribute to the egg industry in California must be housed in cages that allow them to "stand up, lie down, turn around and fully extend their limbs without touching one another or the sides of an enclosure" – whether or not they live in the state. HSUS was one of the animal welfare organizations that backed the landmark bill which was introduced by Assemblyman Jared Huffman.
Farm Sanctuary wrote in their blog about the huge impact AB1437 will have on the nation's hens. "California is the nation's most populated state and it represents a huge market for eggs and other products, so banning the sale of battery cage eggs in California is extremely significant and will go a long way toward pushing egg producers to move away from these cruel confinement systems."
Egg producers that do not comply with the new law will face up to 180 days in jail or a $1,000 fine. Just two states, California and Michigan, have passed laws to phase out battery cages.
Ten years ago, there were no laws in the U.S. protecting farm animals from inhumane housing such as veal crates, gestation crates and battery cages. Now there are eight states that have banned some of these cruel housing systems: Florida, Arizona, Oregon, Colorado, Maine, California, Michigan and Ohio.
Both HSUS and Farm Sanctuary are confident there will be more victories coming for animals raised at factory farms.
As a sidebar, there have been several stories in the news recently about the hobby of raising chickens as pets. New Moon Girls – a bi-monthly magazine for girls age 8 and up ran a story called – Backyard Peeps. The story is written by sisters Emma and Robin Jordan about their experience of keeping six pet chickens. The story can be found on page 23 at Newmoon.com.
Also look for a story this week by Real Food Care2blogger Jaelithe J. about Backyard Chicken Keepers who are raising chickens and working with authorities to change local ordinances.

it's a good start
Stepping toward kindness as written by another reader is better than stepping backwards and not making any progress in the improved treatment of animals. The world is not going to turn vegan so pushing for the improvement of living conditions has to continue. Thanks Mr S.
Kudo's to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger!
Be Blessed! Stay Blessed!
Peace, Love and Light ;-)
The best way to honor and protect animals EVERYDAY is to not eat them.
Fight cruelty with your fork; have compassion on your plate; increase social justice with every meal.

This is great!
Thanks so much to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger! - He's the man!
I'm looking forward to seeing other states follow this positive decision soon!
The time for ending cruelty is now! Stepping towards kindness regarding any species is NOT acceptable. All who are celebrating this continued misery (labelled progress) wont be celebrating the natural consequence of blessing and condoning such aberration.
Unethical egg producers and puppet politicians are OUR agents for terror because were financing them and allowing them to dictate time-lines, spruke their nonsense, and therefore dis-empower people instead of serving our highest interests.
Excellent news, definitely a big step in the right direction!
I'm so glad he signed it i was one of the people to call and who wrote to him yes for the Animals..
"Wonderful job... great news... I'm impressed... I'm proud... every step counts... thankyou". Get a grip !!!!
Mark Twain said, "You can't depend on your judgment when your imagination is out of focus.
Imagine it's you in that deafening, stinking factory confined with no sky, sunshine, breeze, fresh air, earth, grass or tree, no walking or running, no exploring or constant variety, no social comfort or occasional privacy, no relief from pain or despair.
The majority here, are products of a schooling system that doesn't value imagination the same way it values repetition, regulation and conformity.
Thus, we're pre-disposed to believing what we're "sold". The unethical interests of several corporate egg producers are prevailing over the deeply held values of millions. Repeated oil spews can teach us that the same inverted system applies across the marketplace to severely impact our health, welfare and authentic progress in many ways.
Change poceeds at snails pace over generations when the little people are impressed by invalid "complex" economic excuses fed to us. Kindness is never complex. To follow its path without compromise is to allow beautiful, natural, liberating simplicity to unfold.
If an egg goes from 20 cents to $1.00 (competing with a pack of McDonalds fries) we soon create healthier eggs for low cost (including in our schoolyards - liberating both birds and education).
No need to puzzle over failure to fin
Good for Arnold . Not only is he strong .but he is also compassionate. Not a wimp
