Bahamas Destination Wedding has announced the launch of its Bahamas Marriage License Priority Service for persons getting married in the Bahamas, and essentially creating a one stop shop for all the services you would need to make your marriage in the Bahamas legal anywhere in the world.
In making the announcement Bahamas Destination Wedding's spoke person and Bahamas Wedding Planner Glenn Ferguson, said "we are always looking for ways to improve the overall Bahamas wedding experience for our clients and felt that by offering our Bahamas Marriage License Application Priority Service, it would not only makes it a lot easier for couples to apply for their Bahamas Marriage License but also eliminated the added worries and stress in the process as well. While giving them the extra time to do what they really came to the Bahamas for in the first place, to celebrate their love and enjoy the island with family and friends."
Ferguson, who is also the company's resident Bahamas wedding officiant, in explaining how the service works, said that "while the couple will still have to appear in person at the Registrar General Office to be interviewed and make application for their marriage license, the service will coordinate the collection, completion and submission of all the documents including affidavits needed to apply for a marriage license in the Bahamas before hand, which will make the process of getting a marriage license easier and significantly reducing the time spent by the couple at the Registrar General's office."
The company (http://www.bahamas-
Ferguson, concluded by saying that he was happy to announce that his company is now providing the Bahamas Marriage License Priority Service and "looking forward to working with our clients in improving their wedding experience in the Bahamas."

French Bible from the Annotated Bible
I just put on line a french Bible sword module. This translation, from the 19th century, is drawn from a commentary on the whole Bible : "La Bible annotée". I'm thinking of making a module of this commentary, which will take some time ; meanwhile the Bible translation is worthy for itself.
As I'am new to sword modules, it will be helpful if interested french speaking members of this forum could check it. Can anybody tell me where to submit a module so it could be validated for the sword repositories ?
Here is the url : http://theotex.org/sword/FreBBB.zip

Re: French Bible from the Annotated Bible
Hi Claude,
We would be happy to put your Bible online. It sounds great. We have at least one French-speaking developer who is helping with testing modules.
You can send module submissions to email@example.com. When submitting modules, you should send the source file (an OSIS XML file, .imp file, or whatever you used) and the .conf file.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- 2009 has been a monumental year for Doug Dawson. Motivation of first-time fatherhood paired with "moneyvation," from QUITPLAN Services' QuitCash Challenge, helped the 31-year-old Columbia Heights man quit a 17-year smoking habit and win The Challenge. Nearly 2,000 Minnesotans, including Doug, attempted to quit tobacco use during October for a chance to win the $5,000 grand prize.
On Thursday, November 19, the day of the 34th annual Great American Smokeout, QUITPLAN Services will celebrate Doug's success in quitting smoking with a celebration event at the Mall of America in Bloomington. In addition to Doug's $5,000 grand prize, another contest participant will receive a $2,000 Mall of America gift card and two others will receive $1,000 Gander Mountain gift cards.
When Doug and his wife, Katie, learned they would welcome their first child, a baby boy, in March, they knew it was time to quit. Making the choice was especially important to Doug because his mother passed away, in part due to smoking, when he was only 14. After seeing The QuitCash Challenge promotion at the Minnesota State Fair, Doug decided to try quitting tobacco for good.
"It was all about the baby...to help my wife quit and to live a healthier life for me and the child," Doug said. "I went on [quitplan.com] and did the whole 'fill out your plan' to help you quit. I looked at some of the things they were saying about what to do, what to expect as the weeks went on."
"We were delighted to learn that Doug had used The QuitCash Challenge and QUITPLAN Services to help him and his family stay tobacco-free," said David Willoughby, Chief Executive Officer at ClearWay Minnesota(SM), the nonprofit organization that administers QUITPLAN Services. "We encourage Minnesota tobacco users looking to quit to use QUITPLAN Services any time of the year to achieve success."

The Big Bang Theory Season 1 Quotes
Leonard [referring to Sheldon singing]: What got into him?
Penny: Oh, just a couple virgin Cuba Libres that turned out to be kinda slutty
How can I be a gynocologist? I can barely look a woman in the eye!Raj
I had such plans. I had dreams. I was going to be the Indira Gandhi of particle astrophysics... but with a penis, of courseRaj
Leonard: Look at the bright side. [Lalita] might turn out to be a nice, beautiful girl.
Raj: Great, then we'll get married, I won't be able to talk to her, and we'll spend the rest of our lives in total silence.
Wolowitz: Worked for my parents
Is it just me, or does webchatting with your clothes on seem a little pointless?Wolowitz
Penny [to Raj about Lalita]: No one can make you get married. Why don't you just meet this girl and see what happens?
Raj: Haven't you been listening to me? I cannot talk to women!
Leonard: Um, Raj?
Wolowitz: No, no, let's see how long it takes him
Sheldon: When I was a little boy and got sick, which was most of the time, my mother would read [The Monkey and the Princess] to me. It's about an Indian princess who befriends a monkey who was mocked by all the other monkeys because he was different. For some reason I related to it quite strongly.
Penny: I know the reason.
Leonard: We all know the reason
Penny: I need some guinea pigs.
Sheldon: Okay, there's a lab animal supply company in Reseda you can try. But if your research is going to have human applications, may I suggest white mice? Their brain chemistry is far closer to ours.
Penny: I swear to God, Sheldon, one day I'm going to get the hang of talking to you.
Leonard: His mom's been saying that for years
Raj [drunk]: Where did my life go, Penny?
[everyone is shocked Raj is talking to Penny]
Raj: One day, I'm a carefree bachelor, and the next, I'm married and driving a minivan to pee-wee cricket matches in suburban New Delhi.
Penny: Are you talking to me?
Raj: Is there another Penny here?
Sheldon: I'll have a diet Coke.
Penny: Can you please order a cocktail? I need to practice mixing drinks.
Sheldon: Fine... I'll have a virgin Cuba Libre.
Penny: That's... rum and Coke without the rum.
Sheldon: Yes, and would you make it diet?
Leonard: Do you really need the Honorary Justice League of America Membership card?
Sheldon: It's been in every wallet I owned since I was five.
Leonard: Why?
Sheldon: It says keep this on your person at all times. It's right here under Batman's signature.
Penny: Hey, if you guys need a fourth, I'll play.
Leonard: Great idea!
Sheldon: Uh, no. The wheel was a great idea. Relativity was a great idea. This is a notion, and a rather sucky one at that.
Penny: Why?!
Sheldon: Why? Oho, Penny, Penny, Penny.
Penny: Oho, what, what, what? [picks up controller]
Sheldon: This is a complex battle simulation with a steep learning curve. There are a myriad of weapons, vehicles, and strategies to master, and not to mention an extremely intricate back story.
Penny: Oh, cool! Whose head did I just blow off?
Sheldon: Mine.

Our precious Sarge is such a loving and sweet dog. He only wants to be with his family, no matter what they are doing. Wherever his daddy is, is Sarge's most favorite place in the world. He adores him and will sit and smile with that big smile and you can see he is so content. At night, his place is snuggling in the bed and his face close to his dad's. Sarge has filled a huge part of my son's heart. They are a team, either one of them would do anything for the other. They are so very lucky to have found each other.

As a person who has actually experienced combat, (Calvary Officer with the 1st Calvary Division in Vietnam), I can tell you I do not wish to see us commit more ground forces in the middle east. However, as a former Army combat officer I can tell you just bombing the enemy will neither destroy him or weaken his resolve. We proved that hypothesis during the Vietnam war. We bombed the daylights out of Hanoi and still the North Vietnamese continued to fight.
Isis will be stopped and destroyed by only one means, a military armed force of troops from countries in the region (Jordan, Egypt, Israel, Turkey and Saudi Arabia and other nations (Britain, Germany, France). These "boots on the ground" should be led by American Soldiers and Commanders because we are the greatest fighting force on the face of the earth. We will need to search them out and exterminate them like rats in their holes where they hide. Sadly, we have a Commander In Chief who is more concerned with politics than actually destroying the enemy. Most of his liberal base have never been to war and have no idea what it takes to rid the world of these Islamic vermin. The only thing these vermin will understand is a bullet right between their eyes.posted @ Monday, February 16, 2015 - 15:41

@Brittanicus: Excellent rebuttal to the liberal writer's piece. Quite frankly, this is all about politics and votes. They see millions of illegals as "undocumented democrats". They could care less about the financial strain it puts on our social programs as millions of democrats live off of the federal dole anyway. Remember, we are headed towards 20 Trillion in debt before Obama leaves office. His objective has always been to grow the democrat welfare base of voters to make it impossible for republicans to ever win the WH again. The SC will however kick him in the butt soon when they rule his executive action in regards to the illegal immigrants as being unconstitutional.posted @ Sunday, February 15, 2015 - 10:25

@tomw: That seems like the recurring theme the democrats dish out to their base. Elect us and we will make things better for you. Well, they elected Obama are things really better for them? Some will say they now have health insurance that they didn't have before Obama. That's true but a large % of those people have their most of their premiums paid by government subsidies. That's great for them but in the process they screwed up the entire health care and insurance system. What are these millions going to do after this summer when the SC rules the Feds can no longer subsidize their premiums (in 37 states)? If things are so great, why have millions more of the democrat base gone on food stamps?posted @ Wednesday, February 11, 2015 - 11:10

I can see how our local liberals would be upset which doesn't surprise me based on the two negatives I have already received on my post. I'm sure more will come as they always do.

Terrific swimming Danielle! Keep up the good work and maybe someday you could become a "lady swim dawg". My son played baseball for your Dad Joe at Oconee High School many years ago.

Brian Williams, like his idol Obama, has lied to the American people and has lost his creditably. History of the liberal left tells us they will forgive him and soon NBC will put him back on the air. It has since come out that Williams lied about his experience while reporting on Hurricane Katrina. He stated at his location "he saw bodies floating down the street". That has been proven to be a lie. I could care less about Williams I never watch his program anyway. Maybe they should move Williams over to MSNBC and have him take Al Sharpton's job, since he will be busy dealing with the IRS figuring out a way to pay $3.5 million dollars in back taxes. Maybe Sharpton could borrow the money from his buddy Obama. Since he has visited the WH 83 times, I'm certain Obama would be glad to help "a brother" out. Fox News would not take Williams. They already have one liberal Williams on the Fox team, (Juan). He could become the Press Secretary for Obama where lying is standard and acceptable.posted @ Tuesday, February 10, 2015 - 10:22
@dahreese: The chlorine does expand brain cells, however in your case it would not work. Sorry "smarty pants" I did check factcheck.org before posting, typical liberal, making statements in which you know nothing about. I think I'm going to cry for the working poor. They pay no taxes anyway. How about a flat tax? Everybody pays 15 or 20%. That would be "fair" (that favorite democrat word). That way we could probably generate enough money for roads and bridges. By the way, ever wonder what happens to all the federal gasoline tax? How about the road use tax commercial vehicles pay? Where is that money going? Why is it not predominately used for roads and bridges? Sadly, Obama and his liberal buddies spend money and develop policies that are a hindrance to growth in this country.
I think liberals like you should pay more taxes. That way it would make you feel good, it could replace whatever formerly made you feel good.posted @ Monday, February 9, 2015 - 06:16
Dahrese is such a "smarty-pants". I did check factcheck.org and the answer is yes, we have spent millions to rebuild mosques. Since when is the American taxpayer obligated to rebuild mosques and other cultural items in foreign countries? That money could be used for domestic projects (roads and bridges). The hypocrisy and continuous BS rhetoric from this President is incredible. Next time dahrese needs to actually check the facts instead of confirming her ignorance by just spewing liberal junk.posted @ Sunday, February 8, 2015 - 11:06
Great article Darrell. As far as them butchering "American Trilogy," what would you expect them to do in Atlanta? Like you, I'm glad I do not reside in Atlanta. This is a city that has been taken over by liberals, yankees and people that send a guy like John Lewis to congress. As the old saying goes, "good place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there".posted @ Sunday, February 8, 2015 - 08:58
Once again dahreese allows her liberal brain to get in the way of rational thought. The republicans are in favor of the proposals for freeways, bridges and mass transit. They are opposed to the proposal to fund it. Typical democrats, "let's go after those "evil" corporations to get the money". Those corporations have moved their operations overseas because the tax code in our country on corporate profits is the highest in the world. If the democrats would fix our tax system to make it more "fair" (now their is a familiar democrat word) and competitive with other countries corporations would move back to the US. Obama's budget is typical liberal democrat crap. Tax and spend, that's all they want to do. That's why Obama has run up the national debt to over 18 trillion dollars.
Her last paragraph above is nothing more than liberal ranting. How about the millions of American dollars the Muslim Obama has spent overseas to rebuild Mosques. That money could have been used for roads and bridges. He was really looking out for the needs of this country and the American people spending our tax dollars for that kind of nonsense.posted @ Sunday, February 8, 2015 - 08:38

We are not talking about healthcare for it's poorest citizens, we are talking about health insurance for it's poorest citizens. Our poorest citizens have always been able to go to a hospital and receive care and the taxpayers would pay the bill. Today, our poorest citizens are able to purchase health insurance (subsidized by the taxpayer). Hard for me to see a big difference. The major difference is Obamacare screwed up the health insurance coverage for millions of Americans that had policies they were happy with. As I stated earlier which liberals like rzimdars, who probably has coverage furnished to him by UGA can't seem to grasp, is my daughter, her husband (who owns his own company) and their children have seen their monthly insurance premium more than double and their annual deductible go through the roof. My brother-in-law is a Family Practice Physician. He tells me they have limited the number of Obamacare patients to 20% of their practice. Why? the main reason is the rate they are reimbursed from Obamacare providers. It is barely enough to cover their costs to practice medicine. So, today they take no more Obamacare patients. Many of those patients are back to just going to the local hospital for primary care. But wait, all the liberals feel good, these people have health insurance even though the taxpayers are still paying.posted @ Sunday, February 1, 2015 - 11:57
....one more thing, just to make you liberals feel good the "great" Hillary voted yea in 2002 to support the Iraq war.posted @ Saturday, January 31, 2015 - 08:09
Wow! the liberals were out in full force today. That's what I get for attacking one of their own. I admit my error in stating the number of democrats that voted for the Iraq war. I was merely attempting to show their were a significant number of democrats that supported the vote to go to war after reviewing the same intelligence that Bush had seen.posted @ Saturday, January 31, 2015 - 08:02
Towery is correct, Obamacare is a "disastrous monstrosity" crafted by liberals for their voting base and passed in the House and Senate without one single vote from the republicans. So, all you democrats that had insurance policies you liked and are now forced to pay for and live with policies with high premiums and high deductibles, blame Obama and your own democrat party. Wonder if Obamacare had anything to do with the results of the last election? Probably so. Wonder if Obamacare will be an issue in 2016? You can bet on it. I can see a lot of hard working democrats crossing over and voting republican to help elect a President who doesn't think he is a King and help remove this cancer called Obamacare from our society.posted @ Saturday, January 31, 2015 - 07:49
@rzimdars: No I did not receive the employment information from a Koch website. I never said they would have 20,000 permanent jobs. The initial figure I have was given to me by my US Senators office. You bet I'm stuck on Benghazi. I know Congressman Trey Gowdy will finally get some truth out of this administration. Iraq war? Is that the war that 98% of the democrats voted for after looking at the same intelligence reports that the President had? Sorry rzimdars that won't wash. You have your facts incorrect again in regards to the national debt. When Bush left office, the national debt was approximately 9 trillion dollars. (check the record). Since Obama became President, the national debt has increased to over 18 trillion dollars, he has doubled the debt.
In regards to Obamacare, I would like to go back to the days before Obamacare and I will have millions of people behind me. Some of those people would be my daughter and her husband and children. They had a good policy with a reasonable premium and a decent deductible. They were happy with their coverage. Today, their premium has more than doubled and their deductible has moved into the realm of ridiculous. Thanks Obama!! If you wanted to give free health care to people just do it why screw up the entire system for everybody? In fact, most of the 9-10 million that had no health care now have Obamacare and the government is giving them the money to pay their premiums. I recently heard approximately 9 million people have yet to sign up and they will pay a fine. The SC will soon rule the federal government will no longer be able to provide those subsidies. When that happens, Obamacare will eventually implode.posted @ Friday, January 30, 2015 - 13:10
@marshalld: This guys article was nothing more than an attack on what he perceives as being republican inefficiencies. How about I attack democrat hypocrisies and problems. Hillary said she was broke when they left the Oval Office, that was proven false. Her service as Sec. of State accomplished nothing. She did manage to have, due to her incompetence by not raising security at Benghazi, four Americans murdered. She is quite frankly a profane individual. The democrats in congress did little for 2 years when they had both houses and the Presidency. They did however manage to totally screw up America's health care system which may never recover from the disaster. Obama in a political speech (State of the Union), failed to mention how he has more than doubled the national debt in just 6 years. He failed to mention how the reported unemployment rate does not count the millions of Americans that gave up looking for a job. He failed to mention that the number of people drawing food stamps has almost doubled under his administration.
Obama's State Department has been studying the XL Keystone Pipeline for over 3 years how much longer do they need to study? Probably until he leaves office. The republicans will not give him that time, he will get a chance to Veto that bill when it hits his desk. Once vetoed he can explain to the millions that support that legislation why he voted to veto potentially 20,000 jobs.
So, as you can see marshalled, as the saying goes, "if you live in a glass house, you shouldn't throw stones". The democrats live in a glass house.posted @ Friday, January 30, 2015 - 10:30
Millard you failed to mention that under Obama, the federal debt has almost doubled. The 'rosy" unemployment figure is, and under Obama always been distorted because his numbers do not reflect the millions of Americans that have given up looking for work. The polls indicate that more Americans don't feel they are any better off than they were several years ago. If things were so great under Obama, why has the number of people on food stamps almost doubled under his administration? Why has American respect and prestige declined around the globe? Why is their an adversarial relationship between our strongest ally in the middle east Israel and America? Oh! I completely forgot, it's all Bush's fault. Instead of attempting to work with congress on legislation, he stands up at the State of the Union speech and threatens vetoes. What a classy guy.
That speech delivered by Obama was nothing more than a political speech. His level of arrogance is unprecedented in a President. Obama's attitude sadly means very little will be accomplished for the American people over the next few years. To coin Obama's own words "elections have consequences". We won the House and Senate. He seems incapable of recognizing that fact.posted @ Friday, January 30, 2015 - 08:44
Obviously, this article was written by a far left loon. Do you think he is a democrat? Do you think he believes Obama walks on water? Not hard to figure out. ABH published this for all those readers that think they give deference to conservatives.posted @ Friday, January 30, 2015 - 08:16

I like the project - but I'm biased, since I'm more or less in the same boat
I've been using various Palm Pilot models for this purpose for years - driving a relay via serial port: SEE HERE.
I intend to replace the Palm Pilot with a Raspberry Pi soon, and I find your solution would fit rather nicely
However, given that RasPi is driven by Linux, I'll have to do something similar from scratch, most likely using Python and some kind of web interface for setting the process(es) up... Most likely add a small LCD screen for RasPi (cheap car rear camera display from ebay) for visual feedback. It will be another winter project, I guess

With over 90% of its weight coming from water, watermelons are no doubt one of the most refreshing foods of the summer.
I've always been a purist when it came to eating the fruit—plain and simple, not salt or additives. But this summer I've had a change of heart.
On a hot day over the weekend, I was feeling a little daring and ordered a watermelon juice at a cafe. Not only was the juice refreshing and almost too pretty to drink, it was also less acidic and sugary than the other drink options around—a big plus in my book!
That night I had to make my own, and here's what I came up with. Feel free to leave out the salt, but I like how it enhances the sweetness and flavor of the melon.
Watermelon-Lime Juice
1 small or mini watermelon (about 7 pounds), refrigerated
1 lime
Pinch salt (optional)
Yield: 8 to 10 servings
1. Remove the rind from the watermelon and cut the flesh into chunks.
2. Blend the watermelon flesh in a blender until smooth and liquefied. Squeeze the juice from a lime and add a pinch of salt, if desired. Blend for another 10 seconds.
3. Serve over ice.

GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) - The U.S. Embassy in Guyana says it has received "unconfirmed threat information" relating to a regional airline's flights departing Monday from the South American country and destined for the United States.
The embassy is advising all U.S. citizens in Guyana to make alternate travel arrangements through Wednesday if they are planning on traveling home on flights with Caribbean Airlines.
The terse security message was posted Sunday on the embassy's website.
A representative of Caribbean Airlines says the airline has increased its security measures.
In 2007, a former member of Guyana's parliament and a naturalized U.S. citizen from Guyana were among four people convicted of participating in a plot by a small group of militant Muslims to firebomb John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.

Mark Toomey once helmed his own recruitment firm in Nottingham, England, on the outskirts of Sherwood Forest, but a disdain for damp winters led him to the sun-drenched beaches of Siesta Key. Since opening Robin Hood Rentals in 2009, Mark has persevered through what he calls "Florida's harshest winter in 30 years," during which temperatures teetered near the freezing mark. He equips visitors with rental land-based and aquatic craft that let them explore the area without having to saddle a horse or propose to a dolphin.
From its perch near the Jim Neville Marine Preserve, the company fits cyclists with a range of beach, mountain, and tandem bicycles; matches riders to a fleet of two-seat 49cc automatic scooters; and trains visitors to venture off on newer-model i2 LeanSteer Segways. They also let kayakers explore the local waterways from sunrise into the nighttime.

Membrane binding of the neuronal calcium sensor recoverin – modulatory role of the charged carboxy-terminus
1 Department of Cell Signalling, A.N. Belozersky Institute of Physico-Chemical Biology, M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, 119991 Moscow, Russia
2 Department of Biology and Environmental Sciences (Biochemistry group), University of Oldenburg, D-26111 Oldenburg, Germany
3 Research Center Neurosensory Science, University of Oldenburg, D-26111 Oldenburg, Germany
4 Center of Interface Science, University of Oldenburg, D-26111 Oldenburg, Germany
BMC Biochemistry 2007, 8:24 doi:10.1186/1471-2091-8-24Published: 22 November 2007
The Ca2+-binding protein recoverin operates as a Ca2+-sensor in vertebrate photoreceptor cells. It undergoes a so-called Ca2+-myristoyl switch when cytoplasmic Ca2+-concentrations fluctuate in the cell. Its covalently attached myristoyl-group is exposed at high Ca2+-concentrations and enables recoverin to associate with lipid bilayers and to inhibit its target rhodopsin kinase. At low Ca2+-concentrations the myristoyl group is inserted into a hydrophobic pocket of recoverin thereby relieving inhibitory constraint on rhodopsin kinase. Hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions of recoverin with membranes have not been clearly determined, in particular the function of the positively charged carboxy-terminus in recoverin 191QKVKEKLKEKKL202 in this context is poorly understood.
Binding of myristoylated recoverin to lipid bilayer depends on the charge distribution in phospholipids. Binding was tested by equilibrium centrifugation and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assays. It is enhanced to a certain degree by the inclusion of phosphatidylserine (up to 60%) in the lipid mixture. However, a recoverin mutant that lacked the charged carboxy-terminus displayed the same relative binding amplitudes as wildtype (WT) recoverin when bound to neutral or acidic lipids. Instead, the charged carboxy-terminus of recoverin has a significant impact on the biphasic dissociation of recoverin from membranes. On the other hand, the nonmyristoylated WT and truncated mutant form of recoverin did not bind to lipid bilayers to a substantial amount as binding amplitudes observed in SPR measurements are similar to bulk refractive index changes.
Our data indicate a small, but evident electrostatic contribution to the overall binding energy of recoverin association with lipid bilayer. Properties of the charged carboxy-terminus are consistent with a role of this region as an internal effector region that prolongs the time recoverin stays on the membrane by influencing its Ca2+-sensitivity.

Bridges seems to be a caring company, providing aid to many folks with special needs in the area. As a company, their dealings with employees and contract labor leaves much to be desired. The mostly wonderful staff of field workers go the extra mile while dealing with compensation cuts and rising gasoline prices with expectations of providing a taxi service to many clients. Management treats contractors like employees, ignoring contracts and often trampling on workers rights and firings at a whim. Management gossips about other workers issues in, quite frankly, a very non-professional manner.
As a person in need of aid, this company ranks no better or worse than other agencies in the area. As an employer, workers should beware and seek dealing with other more friendly agencies in the area.

I also wrote it for their loved ones, clergy, and therapists that they might understand how to handle us with care. Our experiences are unique, but much of the aftermath we experience can be similar. I hope this is helpful to someone. Peace, Andie Redwine)We are spiritual abuse survivors.To paraphrase the late Jan Groenveld, one of the pioneers in the spiritual abuse recovery movement, we believed a dangerous lie that closely resembled the truth. And we have paid dearly for that belief with the sacrifice of our very souls.Life can really be hard at times for human … [Read more...]

Millipede: Part 6
by MillipedeI hated the the underlying spirit which had crept into our marriage; it was a peevish, disapproving air that my husband had taken on. In our "heathen" days my husband had a happy go lucky air. This was endearing and made up for the fact that he could be irresponsible.Under Christian patriarchy this changed. Not only was he now "head of the household", but he was responsible for making sure that we lived a "Godly life". This permeated every bit of our life as we didn't want to be "Sunday Only" Christians; God was not someone that we turned our back on for the other six days of the week.This affected how I dressed, what we ate, what entertainment we watched or listened … [Read more...]

Millipede: Part 5
by Millipede Peevish men, wives who watched every word and worse they really embraced the submission beliefs. The wives would gripe very rarely about their husbands and the work and if they did they were sure to say that they weren't in disagreement with the system, ,merely letting off a little steam.The women were just as much true believers. This isn't as I first thought/hoped in that Patriarchy can be a humane system for women. Instead I realized that there will always be those who for varying reasons, become ardent followers of movements which harm them. There are women who will accept or even come to love degradation if it comes approval and "love". Look at people in … [Read more...]

by MillipedeAlthough the "dress code" was the most glaring example of our changing mindset.There were other changes which were just as bad if not worse in the long run.My husband started to implement "order in the home". Although not as extreme as the other men, he considered himself the head of the household. Sure, I could argue, but if he stuck to his guns on something, I was expected to follow. I could be stubborn, but there were plenty of things that I gave way. Dressing in skirts out in public wasn't the only one. Staying at home, I let him control the finances. Sure, I could give advice, nag and so on, but in the end, he decided all things. A lot of things happened that in … [Read more...]

Bachelor of Science Library Informatics
The management and effective use of information has growing importance in every professional field. A bachelor's degree in Library Informatics responds to this broad-based need for professionals by producing graduates with the following skills:
- Organizing information
Courses focus on utilizing appropriate systems and technology to manage more information more effectively. Examples of specific topical study would be the range of classification systems, information policy, information entrepreneurship, preservation of materials, and the unique organizational demands of multiple media materials.
- Accessing information
Courses guide students to analyze research strategies and develop meta-cognitive understanding of effective and efficient information-seeking behavior. Examples of specific topical studies would be using reference tools to streamline information seeking; studies of publication and dissemination cycles; understanding information "types" and the relative values of those groups of resources; and ethical and legal issues in using information.
- Assessing information
Course content centers upon evaluating usability, reliability, and sufficiency of information sources. Specific topical studies include the application of critical thinking skills in the analysis of resources, the coordination of information sources to specific audience needs, and the examination of information sources as evidence in decision-making processes.
There are diverse job opportunities for Library Informatics majors. Careers in information can be found in private industries, public and academic libraries, and non-profit organizations. A degree in Library Informatics differs from related degrees in management and computer science due to the emphasis on information in all its forms (words, numbers, pictures, sounds) and on applying information technology to help people and organizations solve important problems.
Potential job titles for graduates of the program include:
- Online researcher
- End-user Trainer
- Information Services Manager
- Office Automator
- Information Designer
- Market Research
- Online Content Editor
- Electronic Public Relations
- Graduate Programs - Graduates with this degree can also go on for further study in library science, management, and management information systems

Larry Bush: A difference inside The First Tee clubhouse
At first glance, the new clubhouse at The First Tee of the Palm Beaches may look a lot like the old clubhouse until you walk inside.
Same size, same color on the outside, but oh, the difference inside.
More offices less junk.
The Palm Beach Chapter of the Florida Golf Course Superintendents Association took care of that by providing for a new building for storage of equipment and supplies.
There's a nine-hole par-3 golf course that was built inside the range.
The grass is green and growing, and it has some holes where you can move a tee back several yards and you have a par-4 hole instead.
"You can play nine holes in an hour," notes Executive Director Carl Mistretta.
Chris Cochran, a senior design associate for Nicklaus Golf Design, and the folks at the Breakers in Palm Beach helped put all that together.
All this and so much more was unveiled last Saturday in the Grand Re-Opening at the First Tee headquarters at Dyer Park at the north end of Haverhill Road in suburban West Palm Beach, just south of the Beeline.
And it looked like everyone who was anyone in local golf was there, starting with Jack and Barbara Nicklaus, who have helped in the development and evolution of First Tee programs nationwide.
"Whatever they want us to do, we're glad to help," Jack said.
"It's more than golf for kids," he added.
"Golf is just the vehicle. The First Tee is a program that can turn lives around. Kids who might be on the streets can come here and be safe and learn about life as well as the game."
And all kids, boys and girls, are welcome whether or not their parents can afford it, whether or not there are any parents around.
"We serve special needs kids and disabled veterans, too," Mistretta added.
Estimates are that some 2,000 kids a year are taking advantage of the programs at the Michael B. Finnegan Learning Center at Dyer. And over the past 20 years, some 12,000 volunteers have helped 90 million kids worldwide.
The Palm Beach unit is expected to pick up another 1,000 youngsters with its new affiliation with similar programs in Martin and St. Lucie counties, and discussions are under way with a struggling First Tee program in Broward County, Mistretta said.
"It's all about community awareness," said Dick Sheehan, chairman emeritus.
What else do they get besides golf?
The First Tee's Parents Guide describes these nine core values:
1, Honesty; 2, Integrity; 3, Sportsmanship; 4, Respect; 5, Confidence; 6, Responsibility; 7, Perseverance; 8, Courtesy; and 9, Judgment.

Federal Communications Commission
Washington, D.C. 20554In re Matter of
File Nos. 0005256227-0005256232
Requests for Extension of Time to Demonstrate
Substantial Service Requirements for Six Local
Multipoint Distribution Service Licenses
Adopted: October 17, 2012
Released: October 18, 2012By the Deputy Chief, Broadband Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:
In this Memorandum Opinion and Order, we deny LMDS, L.P.'s request for extension of
time to demonstrate compliance with the substantial service requirements for its six Local Multipoint
Distribution Service ("LMDS") licenses (collectively the "Licenses"). Given our denial of these requests,
these licenses automatically terminated, by operation of Commission rule, as of June 1, 2012.
In 1997, the Commission allocated 1,300 megahertz of LMDS spectrum in each basic
trading area ("BTA") across the United States.1 Specifically, the Commission allocated two LMDS
licenses per BTA – an "A Block" and a "B Block" in each.2 The A Block license is comprised of 1,150
megahertz of total bandwidth, and the B Block license is comprised of 150 megahertz of total bandwidth.3

ed. 1992). Rand McNally is the copyright owner of the Major Trading Area (MTA) and BTA Listings, which list
the BTAs contained in each MTA and the counties within each BTA, as embodied in Rand McNally's Trading Area
System MTA/BTA Diskette, and geographically represented in the map contained in Rand McNally's Commercial
Atlas & Marketing Guide. The conditional use of Rand McNally copyrighted material by interested persons is
authorized under a blanket license agreement dated February 10, 1994 and covers use by LMDS applicants. This
agreement requires authorized users of the material to include a legend on reproductions (as specified in the license
agreement) indicating Rand McNally ownership. The Commission has allocated the LMDS for operations in a total
of 493 BTAs throughout the nation.

DA 12-1675The A Block consists of the sub bands 27.50-28.35 GHz (the A1 Band); 29.10-29.25 GHz (the A2 Band);
and 31.075-31.225 GHz (the A3 Band).4 The B Block consists of the sub bands 31.00-31.075 (the B1
Band) and 31.225-31.30 GHz (the B2 Band).5 The same entity may hold the licenses for both the A and
B Blocks of spectrum in an individual BTA, but each license is auctioned and licensed separately.
LMDS licensees are regulated under Part 101 of the Commission's rules, which generally
governs terrestrial microwave operations, and may provide any service consistent with the Commission's
rules and the licensee's regulatory status,6 subject to a ten-year term from the initial license grant date.7
At the end of the ten-year period, licensees are required to submit an acceptable showing to the
Commission demonstrating that they are providing "substantial service" in each licensed area.8 Failure
by any licensee to meet this requirement will result in forfeiture of the license and the licensee will be
ineligible to regain it.9
The final LMDS band allocation was adopted by the Commission on March 20, 1997.10
Since allocating the LMDS spectrum, the Commission has thus far held two LMDS auctions: Auction 17
and Auction 23.11 Auction No. 17, the first LMDS auction, began on February 18, 1998, and closed on
March 25, 1998.12 LMDS, L.P. won the Licenses in Auction No. 17; they were granted on July 15,
LMDS, L.P. was originally required to demonstrate substantial service by July 15, 2008,
or 10 years after the initial license grant date.14 On March 17, 2008, LMDS, L.P. filed applications for an
extension of time to demonstrate substantial service for its LMDS licenses.15 On April 11, 2008, the

Federal Communications Commission
DA 12-1675Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (the "Bureau") granted the requests for extension of the
construction deadlines filed by a large group of LMDS licensees – including LMDS, L.P. – to extend
their deadlines to meet the substantial service requirements to June 1, 2012, resulting in a nearly four-year
construction extension for each of these licensees.16
The Bureau found that these LMDS licensees faced factors beyond their control,
including difficulties in obtaining viable and affordable equipment, that warranted an extension.17 In
making this finding, the Bureau noted that the licensees seeking relief from the construction deadlines
represented a majority of LMDS licensees for whom buildout requirements were approaching, and that
they all faced these same basic obstacles to timely construction.18 Thus, these obstacles were not a
product of an individual licensee's short-sightedness or its unfortunate business decisions; rather, the
difficulties in procuring the basic equipment necessary for LMDS operations were widespread, stemming
from the state of the market. Based on the record evidence, the Bureau anticipated that various
developments in the market – arising in large part from the rollout of new services that could provide
opportunities for LMDS operations – would help rectify these difficulties. Thus, the Bureau found that
LMDS, L.P. and others could potentially use their LMDS licenses to provide wireless backhaul services
to licensees in the 700 MHz band, the Advanced Wireless Services-1 ("AWS-1") band, and other bands
suitable for mobile broadband service, all of which at that time had recently been auctioned, licensed, or
put into use.19 The Bureau anticipated that these bands would develop robustly, along with other mobile
and fixed wireless services, and that resulting opportunities for associated LMDS service (such as
wireless backhaul) would help spur production of equipment designed for LMDS use and thus facilitate
timely construction by LMDS, L.P. and the other LMDS licensees, under the extended buildout deadline
set by the Bureau.20
On June 11, 2012, LMDS, L.P. filed applications pursuant to Section 1.946(e) of the
Commission's Rules seeking an open-ended extension of time to construct its six LMDS licenses.21
LMDS, L.P., a company comprised of family, friends, and private investors, explains that it did not
construct the licenses because it does not have the resources to be tied up unproductively in constructing
the Licenses when it had no intention of operating them.22 While they have undertaken many activities,
such as requesting equipment financing and government loans and striving to deploy networks in its
markets, LMDS, L.P. states has been unsuccessful thus far in developing a business plan for constructing
the Licenses.23 LMDS L.P. further states that it has exhausted its financial capital in an effort to build out
in their markets only to learn that the equipment did not perform as specified.24 Finally, LMDS, L.P.

Federal Communications Commission
DA 12-1675states that it has exhausted a variety of strategies to comply with the Commission's construction
requirements for this spectrum. 25
Under Section 1.946(e) of the Commission's Rules, LMDS, L.P. was required to file its
request for an extension of time to construct on or before June 1, 2012, the date the construction period
ended.26 LMDS, L.P., however, did not file an extension request until June 11, 2012, ten days after the
construction period ended. Moreover, while LMDS, L.P. could have requested a waiver to permit it to
file a late-filed extension request, it did not do so. Nor did LMDS, L.P. seek a waiver of the June 1, 2012
construction deadline in Section 101.1011(a) of the Commission's Rules. Accordingly, the Extension
Applications are subject to dismissal as late-filed.27 Despite the late filing, we find that it is in the public
interest to consider the merits of LMDS, L.P.'s extension request.
In reviewing the substance of LMDS, L.P.'s extension request, we find that LMDS, L.P.
has not justified a grant of an extension of time for its LMDS licenses. Without such extension or waiver,
LMDS, L.P.'s LMDS licenses automatically terminated, by operation of Sections 1.946(c) and
1.955(a)(2) of the Commission's Rules, as of June 1, 2012.28 We discuss these findings in detail below.
LMDS, L.P. requests an open-ended extension of time. As noted above, this is the
second extension that LMDS, L.P. has requested for constructing these licenses. To be eligible for an
extension of time to construct, LMDS, L.P. must show that its "failure to meet the construction deadline
is due to involuntary loss of site or other causes beyond its control." 29 We conclude that LMDS, L.P. has
not met this threshold.
LMDS, L.P. states that it did not construct the Licenses because it does not have the
financial resources to commit to building the Licenses.30 Under Section 1.946(e) of the Commission's
Rules, however, a licensee's inability to obtain funding is not considered a factor beyond its control.31 In
fact, Section 1.946(e)(2) specifically states that an extension of time to construct will not be granted for
failure to obtain financing.32 Thus, we reject LMDS, L.P.'s assertion that financial considerations justify
an extension of time to construct.

on the date the construction or coverage period expires) and 1.955(a)(2) (cross-referencing Section 1.946(c) and
reiterating that authorizations in the Wireless Radio Services automatically terminate without specific Commission
action, if the licensee fails to meet applicable construction or coverage requirements).

Federal Communications Commission
LMDS, L.P. further argues that it has taken various actions to comply with the deadline
to comply with the Commission's construction requirements and that it has not developed a business plan
to use the Licenses.33 Many LMDS licensees, however, did meet the June 1, 2012 deadline and built
facilities.34 And we note that the use of wireless for backhaul is increasing. In 2005, 8.7 percent of
backhaul traffic was sent by fixed wireless.35 By 2009, that figure increased to 12.3 percent.36 Under
those circumstances, we conclude that it was possible for LMDS, L.P. to develop a business plan and
construct its licenses.
LMDS, L.P. further asserts that it did not construct the Licenses because of a lack of
equipment suitable for the A band LMDS spectrum. While we acknowledge that LMDS, L.P. has
undertaken significant efforts to develop LMDS equipment and a market for the Licenses, including
holding countless discussions and demonstrations with equipment vendors, these efforts did not result in
the actual construction of the Licenses and, as noted above, other LMDS licensees have constructed their
licenses. Thus, we find that LMDS, L.P. has not shown that it failed to construct the Licenses because of
a lack of equipment.
We find that LMDS, L.P.'s situation is readily distinguishable from several other
licensees that attempted to build out their licenses prior to the deadline and that ordered equipment but
failed to receive timely delivery of that equipment. While LMDS, L.P. asserts that it attempted to
construct its licenses only to find that the equipment did not work as specified, we conclude that LMDS,
L.P.'s failure to construct its licenses was the result of its inability to develop a business plan to use this
spectrum.37 Furthermore, licensees that had their extension requests approve requested extensions of six
months or less, while LMDS, L.P. is requesting an open-ended extension.
As noted above, when the Bureau granted an extension to LMDS licensees in 2008, it
anticipated that licensees could potentially provide wireless backhaul services to licensees in bands that
had recently been auctioned, licensed, or put into use.38 In the years since the Bureau originally extended
the construction deadline for these licenses, there has been considerable deployment of wireless
broadband service in the 700 MHz, AWS-1, and BRS/EBS bands. Thus, the validity of one of the factors
supporting the Bureau's earlier extension of the construction deadline – that with some additional time,
productive opportunities for using LMDS licenses would develop as these emerging wireless broadband
services create a need for supporting backhaul service – has been substantially confirmed. In light of the
development of 700 MHz, the AWS-1 band, and the BRS/EBS band, we find that LMDS, L.P.'s
unsuccessful attempts to develop its LMDS spectrum are insufficient to show that its failure to construct
was because of factors beyond its control. Thus, we conclude that the decision to grant an extension to

38 LMDS Order, 23 FCC Rcd at 5905 ¶ 25.
Federal Communications Commission
Authorizations for LMDS licenses automatically terminate if the licensee fails to meet
construction or coverage requirements.39 In light of our decision to deny LMDS, L.P.'s request for an
extension of the construction requirements because LMDS, L.P. has not shown that its failure to construct
was caused by circumstances beyond its control, LMDS, L.P.'s licenses automatically terminated, by
operation of Sections 1.946(c) and 1.955(a)(2) of the Commission's Rules,40 as of June 1, 2012.
LMDS, L.P. has failed to justify an extension of time to meet the June 1, 2012 substantial
service deadline for its LMDS stations. We therefore deny the Extension Request. Accordingly, LMDS,
L.P.'s licenses to operate LMDS stations automatically terminated, by operation of Commission rule, as
of June 1, 2012.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Sections 4(i) and 309 of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i), 309, and Sections 1.925 and 1.946 of the Commission's
Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.925, 1.946, that the applications for extension of time to demonstrate substantial
service (File Nos. 0005256227-0005256232) filed by LMDS, L.P. on June 11, 2012 ARE DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to Sections 4(i) and 303(r) of the
Communications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i), 303(r), and Section 1.955(a)(2) of the
Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.955(a)(2), that the Universal Licensing System SHALL BE
UPDATED to reflect that the licenses issued to LMDS, L.P. for Local Multipoint Distribution Service
Stations WPOH579, WPOH580, WPOH581, WPOH582, WPOH583, and WPOH584 ARE
TERMINATED as of June 1, 2012.
These actions are taken under delegated authority pursuant to Sections 0.131 and 0.331 of
the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.131, 0.331.
