For years I have been emphatic that in a credit counseling or debt management repayment plan, it isn't the interest rate reduction alone that is important, people need to get their monthly payments reduced. That's more important. New "Call to Action" debt management plans (DMPs) offer low or no interest rates to people who can qualify. In addition, the plans ... Read More »

6 Spanish, 5 Italian, 3 American, 3 UK, 1 French, 1 Australian, 1 Colombian, 1 Czech, 1 Japan, 1 German... of that... 4Spanish, 3 Italians, 2 UK, 2 American, 1 German are on superior equipment. I don't understand how someone comes to an all Spanish class or even Ital-Span. There are a lot of other nationalities there, the key is they aren't as good as the Spanish and Italian riders people are speaking of. I am American, so I long for more American racers, but honestly, would they be more mid-pack racers, you guys want closer racing, yet you want a bunch of slow guys in the field. Sounds like you want to get rid of the Aliens and have a MotoGP class without the top talent. I just wanna see good racing. I don't care about nationality. Racing is what it is all about.

Photo above of The old traditional village of Bena
No Photos in Blog, See Photo Gallery
Saturday 19th August 2006 .. 8.24.38S 121 05 04E
Up at 0600 hours, Gary and Liddy were knocking on the hull at 0700 hours, saying they were off on the trip, I lent them our hand held, to report back when any thing was happening, as we were not going over there that early
It was a good move, as I was able to have breakfast, and we went ashore at 0745 hours, and still the tour didn't leave till 0900 hours, Gary, bless him giving us updates on the present situation.
We got to Bejawa, the capital of the area, by noon, of a very pleasant, meal, with a chose of scraggy chicken or fish, which took forever to cook.
From there we went to Bena, an old traditional village, which as we approached in the coach from above it, was very similar in look, to Macha Pichu.
From there we went to the Mengeruda hot springs, which had a hot water fall with pools below to swim and slide about in, it was very lovely , just like having a hot bath, and great to ease to aching limbs cause by very bumpy roads and poor suspension of the bus. The whole trip was very good, and escorted all the way by the police with siren blazing and lights a flashing , the government are really taking very good care of us.
We heard that extra police where brought into the area to guard the dingies on the dock, and to keep a heneral eye on things, the government and tourism department are very keen to stop any problems happening, as they see the rally as a way of promoting tourism in Indonesia.
Photos below are of the tour, first one is our police escort .going through the local capital of Bajawa.
The photos on the next page of Bena Village, this village was built as a ship, and commands wonderful views from it's bow, the women were doing the hand weaving, and most of the older ones had their months full of beetle nuts , which make them look like vampires that have just drawn blood from a victim.
Saturday 20th August 2006
Went ashore for lunch with Gambori, Aquarius and Belvenie, after us boys did our passage plan to Bali, as we need to get there for the 17th Sept, so we can renew our visa's before they expire.Below. us with our free sash given to us at the festival.
Sunday 21st August 2006
Left Riung at 1100 hours, for a short sail up the coast, to a little indent in the land, we had picked out on the chart, it turned out to be a superb anchorage, photo below shows the outlet to the sea, the photo below that shows the large expanse of water before becoming a river, also showing dinner cooking on the Barbie.
Above photo shows some villagers that where invited to look around the boat, the children have their presents in their hands, writing books, pens, and tee shirts.
Tuesday 22nd August 2006
Left anchorage at 0930 hours, the wind seems to be coming up early now, and we had a good sail all the way to our next anchorage,23 mile west at Lindley bay, we had 10 to 15 knots of wind from the NE, and we had a lovely down wind sail . There was an extensive reef around the anchorage, not shown on the chart, but once in, it was a very calm one in 17 metres of water.
We where inundated with canoes, with calls of Mister, Mister from the children, all wanting something, but after a few presents and bantering of Fish, Coconuts and Sea shells, they leave you alone.
Had a very pleasant evening on Gambori, with Aquarius and Jack and Dafinee, off Resolute an American couple.
Wednesday 23rd August 2006
Spent the morning doing a few jobs, the small heads inlet pipe seemed to be blocked, so used the dingy pump to un-block it, which was done successfully. Also changed the furling line on the Genoa, as the new one I brought in Darwin was too thin, and cut into my hands when furling.
Afternoon we went over to Aquarius for a Barbeque, with the four usual boats, Libby made a stunning soup starter.
Thursday 24th August 2006
Left Lindley bay at 0745 hours for TK Bari, 28 miles away, had to motor most of the way, got there by 1400 hours, and was inundated with the bloody local kids, it is becoming a nightmare, and will try to avoid villages in future.
Had the three usually boats over for a sun downers, and to discuss the next passage, there are twelve boats in the anchorage, so we have decided to stop at a Island on the way to the next stop, to let them get ahead.
Photo on the next page shows Gambori at anchor with all the teenage children in there canoes, with was the worst we have had ....
Friday 25th August 2006
Left TK Bari at 0745 hours heading west and a white sandy beach to barieque on, no village with children, and as we were leading the pack, it become our mission to find one.
After rounding the island of Seraya Besar, which we looked to see if it was possible to anchor there, but there was too much coral, so continued on to a smaller island called Seraya KL , 25 miles up the coast.
We nosed the boat in to the shore, the bottom rises steeply from 30 metre to 5 metres, we had arrived at high water springs, and the tide would drop us 2.5 metres. After some checking the water which was very clear, we decided to drop the anchor in 20 metres, on the shelf, and drop back in to the shallower water. The conditions where so, that we just put out 40 metres of chain, and we settled in 6 metres, 3.5 metres at low water.
Lindy snorkelled around the boat, before we pulled back to set the anchor, all look good, but we decided not to set the anchor, just let the weight of the anchor and chain hold us, as the wind is very light. We could pull up are shelves into deeper water if need be, the reason we did not set the anchor was, as the ground was very rocky, didn't want to trap the anchor in 20 metres, and risk losing it.
The three other boats in our pack arrived, and within an hour, we where all on the beach having a barbeque, it's so lovely that we will stay another day.
Our trip for here, now we are at the end of Flores, may take us to a little island Labuan Bajo, then on to Rinca and Komodo, to see the large monitor lizards of the same name, then on to Sumbawa, which we know nothing about, then on to Lombok, and Bali.

What is a Revenue System?
POSTED BY Carl Moe on Oct 29 under CRO, Methodology
I have enjoyed the opportunity to address several executive groups recently about a very specific topic – "What is a Revenue 'System?'"
First, ANY business system (production, inventory, quality, Lean, ISO, etc.) is:
— Process-Based
— Built on Competence and Expertise
— Includes Process Accountability and Diagnostics
Ideally, the system operates as a process-based, closed-loop activity so performance is predictable [...]


text: My friend's interested in losing weight and I was hoping to get him into riding. The problem is, he's a bit wary of most bikes because of his size, which is understandable because he's as heavy as most NFL OT's (~400ish). Are there any used bikes that could support him safely, or would the best be be building something to fit him?

secret agent man
Sitting next to me at the Daniel Lanois show was a guy who looked surprisingly like Buddy Miller. I had seen Buddy a few times, and spoke with him at last year's SXSW. The same baseball hat. Unruly white hair bouncing out underneath it.
Daniel Lanois is in a mold all his own as both a producer and guitarist. A drummer appears behind him, and the new buddy next to me turns and says, "this is going to be one great show. That drummer is Brian Blade. He's from Shreveport Louisiana. He has a brother who is also a great drummer."
He tells me he's been to parties with him. He used to live in New Orleans.When I ask him if he's a player, he quaintly tells me no, he leaves that to professionals.
I'm still thinking he really is Buddy Miller.
Buddy is scheduled to play the next day a couple times. It wouldn't be unlikely he's in town, and a fan of Daniel Lanois, who doesn't play often, and just came as a fan. He really looks like him. I'm looking, we're talking. Daniel Lanois is challenging, pushes the boundaries of the club and the performance. He finishes up, and Buddy leaves.
The next day we head out to the National Public Radio party at The Parish on 6th street. See a couple bands and leave for the party Buddy is playing at a few blocks away. Just by odd luck we arrive just in time for his performance. I'm studying this guy. Baseball hat. White hair sticking out. Same face. Though it is now daylight. It was a bit dark the night before.
Out comes the band. It's Brian Blades' brother on drums.
They play a few songs, we notice the lead player's guitar has "Secret Agent Man" in stickers across the face of his guitar. Seems kind of funny. Three songs later Buddy introduces "the great Johnny Rivers on guitar". Semi retired, looking very fit and trim, in great voice as it turns out, too.
The generous Buddy Miller turns the remainder of the show to Johnny Rivers. Three songs. They stretch out in extended guitar solos. As it turns out Johnny is quite a good player. I had no idea, having only seen him once before. 1975 Saratoga Fair. I remember thinking it was an oldies act then. He opened with "Hound Dog", closed with "Mountain of Love". Great fun.
I spoke with Buddy after the show. He claimed he wasn't at the Daniel Lanois show. He didn't get into town until that day.
We go see Buddy Miller twice the next day. Catching the end of his night set at the Cedar Courtyard. After that we head over to catch The Friends of Dino Marinez. Sitting on the floor watching the band is Buddy Miller. He must have came immediately from his show - he beat us there - just to catch this band as a fan. No mistaking him this time.
He watched a few more songs and left, looking very much like a secret agent man.

This happens randomly, but when I log in to ZCS, the screen renders all goofy, and is totally unreadable.
I can open firefox, and use the site just fine, but for some reason Chrome and IE doesn't render it right. Even the admin panel is affected.
This has happened on a few other machines, and it seems to happen with Chrome, but when it does happen, IE is also affected.
It seems to fix itself after a while.
Any ideas about this? I am using winxp with latest chrome and IE.

A prayer for the world
Let the rain come and wash away the ancient grudges, the bitter hatreds held and nurtured over generations. Let the rain wash away the memory of the hurt, the neglect. Then let the sun come out and fill the sky with rainbows. Let the warmth of the sun heal us wherever we are broken. Let it burn away the fog so that we can see each other clearly. So that we can see beyond labels, beyond accents, gender or skin color...(to be continued)

An absoluteley wonderful process on this Don.
Yes the situation for the world needs prayers, and all the things you said above need to happen but they won't happen thru any peace treaty or the failed promises from every politician that has ever been or will be in office, or any humanitarian effort. It will only come when........
"in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite." Dan 2:44
Then we will hear...........
"a loud voice from the throne say: Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. Rev. 21:3,4

Growing Chinese cabbage
Growing larger than most other Asian greens, Chinese—or Napa—cabbage (B. r. var. pekinensis) is a rewarding crop with cultivation guidelines all its own. First, timing is all-important. Start Chinese cabbage indoors around July 10 in Zone 5 or warmer gardens, 10 days earlier in Zones 3 and 4. Fill 10-centimetre pots with a fast-draining soil mix and drop three seeds into a shallow thumbprint in each container; cover with soil, add water and set them in a sunny window. As seedlings grow, thin to the strongest-looking one per pot and water as needed.
After three weeks indoors, gradually expose seedlings to outdoor conditions over a few days. Meanwhile, prepare individual planting spots 45 centimetres apart in a sunny bed. Dig out holes deep and wide enough to hold two double handfuls of fine compost; boost nutrients with a teaspoon (5 mL) of vegetable fertilizer and stir all together with the excavated soil—in essence, making a zone of fertility for each transplant. If insects appear, cover seedlings with a floating row cover or dust young plants (as directed) with fresh rotenone powder, a natural insecticide that will biodegrade long before you pick. As plants expand, mulch with compost, and water every fourth day, feeding once with fish emulsion after a month's growth.
Chinese cabbage grows numerous leaves around an increasingly dense head. Don't rush the harvest. When it plumps up, pull up a whole plant, cut away the roots and strip off the outer leaves—it may feel as if you're throwing half in the compost—to reveal a clean, heavy head.

Pix ACL port range ... [7:67589] posted 04/16/2003
Hi All A quick question !!! I want to allow a range of ports out of the Pix, say, ports 2000-2200. I can't find any command to implement this !! Surely there must be syntax to avoid entering (in this example) 200 access-lists. I have entered two statements thus: access-list test permit tcp any any gt 1999 access-list test permit tcp any any lt 2200 I have browsed the Cisco website without success, and my Cisco Pix book seems useless !!! My worry is that the top acl will allow anything from port 1999 to 65535 out . Do you see what I mean. Kind regards Paul ...

http://spice.fsi.stanford.edu/publications/10110/ for more details.
Using historical and contemporary images and themes seen in U.S. and Japanese media, the curriculum introduces students to how the media sometimes creates and perpetuates stereotypes and shapes opinion in its dissemination of information.
Of Samurai and School Kids: Examining Stereotypes
Patience Berkman (Newton Country Day School). Newton, MA: 1996. (JT-097). See http://www.smith.edu/fcceas/japan/jt.htm for more lesson plans on Japan.
This unit, for grades 9 and higher, contains several lesson plans, including: "Recognizing Stereotypes," "Exploring the Samurai Image: The Business World and the Media," and "Exploring Stereotypes about Education in Japan." Includes teacher directions and student handouts. Available for loan to educators in the New England region of the United States.
The Simpsons in Japan: A Lesson on Stereotypes
The episode "Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo" can be used to identify particular characteristics in each of the characters, to discuss the use of stereotypes, and to generate discussions on travel expectations. This particular lesson plan is designed for one or two classes for upper-intermediate level students, but can be easily shortened or tailored for higher-level students.
See our Japan Digest "Using Film to Explore History" (http://www.indiana.edu/~japan/Digests/film.html) for a discussion of how films can provide a useful perspective on history and how to find appropriate films for classroom use.
How True to History is Tom Cruise's The Last Samurai ?
"From the opening voiceover and title to the final scene, The Last Samurai is an historical disaster.. There was real drama and adventure in late nineteenth century Japan that could have been even more powerful, but instead we get a pastiche of Dances With Wolves,Karate Kid, Kagemusha and Shogun."
Lessons of The Last Samurai. Ericson, Joan E.; Matson, Jim (2004). Education about Asia, v9 n2 Fall 2004. See http://www.aasianst.org/EAA/2.htm for table of contents.
This article argues that the film offers opportunities to engage students and to illustrate how popular perceptions provide points of departure for a more intelligent, critical appraisal of Japanese history and myths. Identifies 10 areas (or lessons) where, as the film's director admitted, "history took a backseat to drama."
The Last Samurai
Part of asiamediawatch T, this web page presents excerpts (and links to the full text) of a preview of the film published in Asia Pacific Arts Magazine; a commentary published in the Asian American Movement Ezine; and a letter from a concerned reader on Asia Media Watch's positive stance on the film.
Campaign - No Votes for "Lost In Translation."
Claims the film dehumanizes the Japanese people by portraying them as a collection of shallow stereotypes who are treated with disregard and disdain, that the film has no meaningful Japanese roles, nor is there any significant dialogue between the main characters and the Japanese.
Totally Lost in Translation
Review of the film published in The Guardian. The subtitle is: "The anti-Japanese racism in Sofia Coppola's new film just isn't funny."
Lost in Translation. (Film Review). Minear, Richard H. (2004). Education about Asia, v9 n1 Spring 2004.
See http://www.aasianst.org/EAA/1.htm for table of contents.
Notes that the film focuses on the human interaction between the two Caucasian leads, but suggests it "could have been much more. It could have brought Japan and the Japanese within the ambit of the human. It could have treated its jet-lagged, underdeveloped leads as symptomatic of a greater human dilemma."
Hollywood Films in Class: The Case of Mr. Baseball. Chalfen, Richard (2001). AEMS News and Reviews, v4 n4 Sum 2001. Full text at
Proposes that Hollywood films as cultural products can be effectively used in college courses as "pictorial cultural documents." Argues that students must be challenged to think about goals and techniques of producers in creating and marketing the film and that students may be encouraged to watch the films in small groups as homework assignments.
Studying Japan with Hollywood Films: Show "Mr. Baseball" in Class. Chalfen, Richard (2003). Education about Asia; v8 n1 Spr 2003.
See http://www.aasianst.org/EAA/1.htm for a table of contents.
Suggests that with appropriate preparation, Hollywood films can be used in the classroom with considerable success. Discusses the use "Mr. Baseball" in a Temple University undergraduate course entitled "American Culture in Japan."

You Can't Win: 'Police, Adjective' Refuses To Go By The Book
Violent gunfights, visceral takedowns, high-drama interrogations and even angrily tossed metal chairs -- all are absent from Police, Adjective.
Yet this determinedly downtempo, absurdly mundane and undeniably smart (and subtly black-humored) film is another example of the rebirth of cinema in Romania -- Cristian Mungiu's award-winning 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days was only one low-budget example of the bracing and critical intelligence of the country's filmmakers. Call this an anti-Heat, an anti-Departed, a police procedural suspicious of its own process.

SFMOMA's 75th Anniversary Show: What to See
It's finally here! The SFMOMA's highly anticipated 75th Anniversary Show kicked off last weekend. We checked out the media preview and are here to distill all the great artwork into 30 must-sees for your initial visit. Without further ado...
1. Andy Warhol, National Velvet
2. Jackson Pollock, Guardians of the Secret
3. Matthew Barney, Transexualis
Bryce Dallas Howard Glitters In 'The Loss Of A Teardrop Diamond'
Tennessee Williams always had a way with indelibly memorable female protagonists -- and Fisher Willow, the diamond-hard, proto-feminist, flapper heart of The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond, a lost Williams screenplay now found, is no exception.
While evoking no less than the fragile embodiment of Southern womanhood, Laura Wingfield of Williams' The Glass Menagerie, Fisher also conjures up other aspects of Williams' earthy and ethereal goddesses: the languid longing and steely sensuality of Elizabeth Taylor's Maggie the Cat, the tough, passionate power of Anna Magnani's Serafina delle Rose, and the love of fantasy and touch-and-go grasp of reality found in Vivian Leigh's Blanche DuBois.
Amy Adams Lovers Will Get Their Fill of Perkiness with 'Leap Year'
Who would have thought a perfectly adorable actress like Amy Adams would divide people so? Is it Adams' button-bright perkiness, which irked a vocal crew when it came to Julie & Julia? Is it the puppy-dog-desperate desire to please that she often injects into everygirl roles like Sunshine Cleaning? Adams exudes the old-school, bright-eyed beauty of a Hollywood studio-system ingenue -- in full display in Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day -- yet much like Renee Zellwegger, the Leap Year star tends to divide an audience into love-her and hate-her camps.
'Youth in Revolt's' Michael Cera on Being Bad and Rocking a Moustache
I feel Michael Cera's pain.
Weird Science: 'Hex Inverter' At The SFMOMA Museum Garage
In the mood for some weird science, somewhere over the rainbow where the underground meets the overground? Or "garage" sounds of the most unexpected sort?
SFMOMA hosts a series of installations/events/concerts on Saturday, Jan. 9 -- an event that appears to be tapping into the same spirit as those experimental music/noise shows that used to happen nearby on Tehama alley at the old Clitstop space. The event: "The Hex Inverter and Kimber Lite and the Pipes" by Max Lawrence, a so-called mechanical mad scientist and "electric conductor."

Former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop had the courage to step outside traditional boundaries. Named to his post by conservative President Ronald Reagan, Koop took a position on AIDS that shocked fellow conservatives, and brought life-saving information to all. He wrote that the decision to issue a frank brochure on the disease "was dictated by scientific integrity and Christian compassion." Rest in peace, Dr. Koop; you served your nation well.
Koop's political courage on AIDS virus saved lives

I had sex for the first time shortly after turning 20 (about a year ago), but I wish I had done it sooner. I know I had been ready and willing at age 16 or so -- the problem was just that no one was interested in me that way, but in the other girls around me. It still hurts, in a bizarre and surprising way. I feel like being a virgin for so long was not my choice; I feel like the decision was made for me by other people who decided I wasn't attractive enough to be with. To this day I still wonder if I'm intensely sexually unattractive, and if the occurrence at age 20 was just a fluke that will not repeat itself. How can I let go of this? How can I cope with late loss of virginity and stop seeing it as a personal failure to pass muster in terms of attractiveness?
Why does male sexuality seem so repulsive to me? Am I just too feminist?
This is more of a psychological issue, I think, than a physical one, and possibly unsolvable, but I'll ask your opinion anyway because this site seems pretty clued up and sensibly feminist and lovely.
I have recently become disgusted with the idea of male pleasure. It's like I'm... too feminist to function. I have had sexual partners in the past, but recently, the more I learn about male character (although that is a gross generalization, I know - there is no innate male or female "character"), the less reconciled I am to pleasing men. My rational mind knows that there are plenty of men who are not misogynist pigs, who don't objectify women, who aren't secretly rapists... yet when I fantasize about sex, and men getting pleasure from sex, I feel physically repulsed. Like, how dare they use my body, they're just like trying to get pleasure from me. I know that is MASSIVELY unjust because surely women are using men too, but I literally can't help it.
On why rape isn't her fault, no matter how you want to spin it, buster.
Hi Heather, I just found a question from 'samy-baby' concerning rape when performing a google search for something unrelated as it caught my eye. I'm afraid you appeared all too eager to label the bloke as unsafe and 'stay well away from him', given that the girl openly admitted within the first words of her sentence that she gets her boyfriend stupid-horny then says "no sex", that's just cruel, and I doubt many men would tolerate it. I've made it abundantly clear with my girlfriend that if she makes the effort to turn me into a horn-monster, she should finish through or I'm usually very pissed off; not to say that I'd go ahead and have sex with her anyway. All I'm saying is you failed to advise this girl that if she doesn't want to have sex, then she shouldn't get her boyfriend horny.
Oh, bloody hell.
Today, a Scarleteen user (thanks, puppysrcute!) posted the following at the boards: What do you think about this?
To which, I replied:
That, in general, we don't have the long-term, solid data to have any idea if this is wise or damaging to women, and until we do, I'm not (and Scarleteen by association) going to endorse it, even as an option for women who do simply want to choose it as preference, not as doctrine or by pressure to do so.

Governor Signs Bill Legalizing Gay Marriage in Hawaii
(HONOLULU) -- Gay marriage is now legal in Hawaii. The Aloha State's Democratic governor has signed a bill into law that will allow same-sex couples to marry there.
In front of supporters, Gov. Neil Abercrombie signed the legislation into law, making Hawaii the 15th state to legalize gay marriage.
"Today, now, all those who have been invisible will be visible to themselves and the whole world," Abercrombie said Wednesday before signing the bill.
With the governor's signature comes money -- some studies show Hawaii could be in for an economic windfall with gay couples deciding to make the island a destination wedding spot.
Still, opponents say, money or not, the people of Hawaii did not vote for gay marriage and lawmakers should not have done it on their own.
President Obama, a native of Hawaii, praised the passage of the legislation of the Senate vote Tuesday.
"I want to congratulate the Hawaii State Legislature on passing legislation in support of marriage equality," he said, adding, "By giving loving gay and lesbian couples the right to marry if they choose, Hawaii exemplifies the values we hold dear as a nation."
Same-sex marriages could start in Hawaii as soon as Dec. 2.

Bukit China Cemetery (at least 17th century onward)
Bukit China is the largest Chinese cemetery outside of mainland China. Graves can be found here that go back to the late Ming dynasty (mid 17th century). The earliest grave found so far dates to 1622, but unfortunately many graves were exhumed during the British occupation of Malaysia.
Somewhat earlier, the Portuguese built a Franciscan chapel on this hill dedicated to "Madre de Deus" (Mother of God) but it was destroyed along with an adjacent monastery during the Achinese attack of 1629.
The early cemetery that existed on this site (including the one grave dated to 1622) was fairly small. The site was greatly expanded during the Dutch occupation when Kapitan China (a Portuguese term for the head of the Chinese community) Lee Wei King bought the hill from the Dutch and donated it to the Chinese community of Melaka for use as a burial ground. It now contains over 12,500 graves and is almost full. Public burials have ceased, and what few open plots remain are reserved for members of the Standing and Advisory committee of Cheng Hoon Teng temple.
The approximate location of the cemetery is 2.199517' N, 102.257790' E (WGS 84 map datum).

The Sungai Besi Area Cemetery has some 250,000 residents buried or cremated in an area of 500 acres but the Bukit China Cemetery, Melaka has only over 12,500 graves and is almost full. Why do you say that it is the LARGEST Chinese cemetery outside China when it is so much smaller than the Sg. Besi one?
good write-up. Questions- why were the graves exhumed during Nritish rule? Why did Lee Wee Ping had to buy the hill from the Dutch? Did it not belong to the chinese community since Hang Li Poh's time?Website: asian historical architecture
very nice....i love it very much
I would like to know more about the Bukit Cemetery. I just visited in Malacca but our guide couldn't tell us more about it. Tank you

Seeds of Joy
Sunday, July 01, 2012
Psalms 97:11-12 (MSG)
11 Light- seeds are planted in the souls of God's people, Joy- seeds are planted in good heart- soil.
12 So, God's people, shout praise to GOD, Give thanks to our Holy God!
Joy-seeds...hmmm...not so sure mine had sprouted this morning. �I get up at 4:30 am every morning to take my son to work. �Every morning it is the same thing. �He gets up at 4:00 we have to be out the door by 4:45. �Needless to say, I am still in my PJs when we leave. �I always feel like I am rushing him out the door. �
Instead of taking those precious quiet moments in the morning with my son, I find myself chastising him for some over looked item. �I become impatient and sometimes a downright meanie. �That is no way to start his day and certainly not a way I want to start mine.
This morning was right on schedule for our usual routine. �I was ready to clobber him by the time we got out the door. �When we got to his drop off did I offer words of encouragement? �Did I say have a blessed day, God be with you? �Did I pray with him? �Nope, Nope and Nope. �I am ashamed to say I didn't even mutter I love you. �Instead I rushed him out the door before having an argument over something he left at home that he swore I didn't hand him.
ARGH! �Now I know 4:30 in the morning doesn't exactly scream bright eyed and bushy tailed. �I am generally a morning person, but not until closer to 7:00 and 8:00 is even better. �However, today's verse does not say Light seeds are planted in the souls of God's people at 8:00 in the morning. �Joy seeds are planted at 8:30 and both die off as the day goes by. �
Nor, does it say God plants, cultivates, waters and harvests light and joy. �No, we have a part in this holy farm. �We have to shout praise to God and give thanks to our Holy God! �In other words we have to water, cultivate and harvest. �Joy is always there ready for us to take on. �If we do the foot work, God is faithful to bear the fruit in us. �Galatians 5:22-23 (NASB) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self- control; against such things there is no law.
So, tomorrow is another day right. �4:30 am will come again. �That is true, but you know what, 2:30 pm will come first. �I think 2:30 will bring with it an apology to my son when I pick him up today. �It will bring a how was your day? �It will bear burdens and share rejoicing. �As a matter of fact the first thing out of my mouth today will be, "I'm sorry for this morning. �I love you and will do better by you tomorrow." �Hopefully, I will help God plant a few of those seeds of Joy!
Lord today I want to belong to you. �I want to be crucified by the flesh with its passions and desires. �Help me to not only live by the Spirit but also walk by the Spirit. (Gal 5:24-25) �I know that whatever a man sows, so shall he reap. (Gal 6:7) �Today, I want to sow love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. �Help me to not lose heart in doing good. �Give me the opportunity to do good to all people. (Gal 6:9-10) �Let me walk by your rules and may peace and mercy be upon me. (Gal 6:16)

I�m responding to Mr. Pontiff�s letter in the Sun Journal on Jan. 23 about the attire Michelle Obama wore at the inauguration. I think she looked very nice, as did her kids and the president, as Mr. Pontiff thought as well. If that�s the only complaint he has about her/them, I consider that a good thing. He just has to find something to gripe about. I have never heard of anyone complaining about what the First Lady had on, or how much they paid for it. What does it matter? I�m sure if Mr. Pontiff�s significant other was having a special event, he will dress up nicely also. It�s not what you pay, it�s how you look in it! Find something else to complain about. I don't think anyone who could afford an �expensive� outfit, would not buy it because of the economy.

Liverpool F.C. trio Luis Suarez, Steven Gerrard and Daniel Sturridge are on the shortlist for the English Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) player of the year award.
Striking duo Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge have scored 49 league goals between them this season, with Uruguay international Luis Suarez leading the Premier League scoring charts with 29 goals for Brendan Rodgers' table-topping side.
Captain Steven Gerrard, 33, has contributed 13 league goals and 11 assists for Liverpool F.C. this season with the England midfielder aiming to lift his first Premier League title.
With four games left Liverpool F.C. have a two-point advantage over second-placed Chelsea, whose Belgium forward Eden Hazard is also among the nominations for player of the year with Ivorian Yaya Toure (Manchester City) and Adam Lallana (Southampton).
Sturridge and Hazard were also shortlisted for young player of the year, the PFA said on its website (www.thepfa.com), along with Liverpool's England winger Raheem Sterling, Ross Barkley (Everton), Aaron Ramsey (Arsenal) and Luke Shaw (Southampton).
Gareth Bale won both awards last year playing for Tottenham Hotspur before his world record transfer to Real Madrid in the close season following in the footsteps of Andy Gray (1977) and Cristiano Ronaldo (2007) who also achieved that feat.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. – IPFW shot 52 percent from 3-point range to build an early lead and then held off the Butler women's basketball team to win 68-60 Sunday at the Gates Sports Center. Senior Devin Brierly led Butler with a career-high 20 points on 7-for-8 shooting.
Anne Boese shot 8-for-9 from 3-point range and finished with a game-high 25 points. Erin Murphy added 17 points for IPFW (2-3). As a team, the Mastodons buried 12 3-point field goals to beat the Bulldogs.
Brierly was 4-for-5 from 3-point range in 34 minutes before fouling out in the final minute. Fifteen of her points came in the second half. Senior Terra Burns had 11 points, six rebounds and three steals. Sophomore Sarah Hamm added eight points, six rebounds and four blocked shots.
"We didn't match their effort, and that is disappointing," head coach Beth Couture said. "They shot the ball well and I give them credit for that. But we did not play with any focus or intensity."
Down 15 at the half, Butler played hard and made some shots to get back into the game. Brierly started hitting from the outside and Burns was able to penetrate, but the Mastodons seemed to always answer with a timely basket. After Butler trimmed the lead from 16 down to seven with 9:07 remaining, Boese hit a trey to put IPFW back up 10. BU got back within 62-55 at the 3:05 mark but would only get one more field goal the rest of the game. The Bulldogs soon would have to foul and IPFW iced the game at the free throw line.
"Every time we got close, we would miss a defensive assignment," Couture said.
After Butler led in the opening moments, IPFW took the lead at the 16:35 mark on a 3-pointer by Boese. It would be one of four treys for Boese in the first half, as IPFW opened up a 38-23 lead at the break. The Mastodons shot 56 percent in the first half and made eight 3s in the opening period while holding Butler to 28 percent shooting.
Butler made 20 of its 25 free throws and had six less turnovers than IPFW. BU also held IPFW's leading scorer, Stephanie Rosado, to four points.
Butler (1-2) will play twice this week at Nevada's Nugget Classic. BU will play Nevada Friday, Nov.25 and either Penn State or Iowa State the next day.

Well hello,
I know im not the only one who has this problem.
The Gamepad just works fine, but some Emulators don't have a real Gamepad function.
I wanted to Emulate keyboard buttons with the controller, but the Profiler Says the Controller is not connected (of course it IS connected).
Does anybody knows how to fix this problem? Is there any Update for the Profiler? Or are there other programs which work aswell?
You might have to clean uninstall the profiler and reinstall it. When you uninstall something it leaves traces behind in the registry. So you ll need a registry cleaner software to remove the profiler completely. I recommend RegCure... other than cleaning registry it keeps your computer running fast. Let me know if you want to go ahead and use it I ll send you the link to your inbox. I ve helped a guy before this and this solution worked for him.
What you need to do is first uninstall the profiler, run RegCure, restart your computer and run RegCure again. After that install the profiler and try.
thanks for your advise!
I'll give it a try, but I think I'm able to clean the registry manually, except the RegCure program will do something very special with the registry
Greetings, Kenny
I really suggest you use a software for that. RegCure in my experience is one of the best. Some softwares do a bad job and delete important things that mess things up more than solve them. Manually, theres a higher chance you will delete important stuff and that you will not recover the problem itself.

Mildermaes is a land of cliffs and steep slopes, sheer precipices and sudden drops. It is sparsely populated and contains many regions that are only partially explored, due to the difficulty of access. Despite its altitude, few places are ever completely dry, and a dankness hangs around long after the last snow-melt waterfall has vanished into the sea. Foreigners coming from over the Vast Sea who wish to go into the Straights make landfall at Forge and take the highway to Crysallis, the gateway city. Those who do not intend to stay will unload their cargo at Tapaen and Tieron rather than risk the rough seas and rumored dragons.

The image-producing headsets are getting smaller, less expensive and able to deliver more realistic environments following recent investments made by major tech companies such as Facebook and Microsoft. Catto is as confident as ever that will enable the technology to become widespread.
The advancements could mean a boom in Orlando's tech community, which includes one of the top video game development communities in the U.S.

Serenity narrowed her eyes to Rockstar, whom seemed to be lazily flying his star tipped tail, round ears perked. The trainer smiled and scratched beneath his ears affectionately once more, and then let out a sigh.
"Perhaps we should battle Sabrina," She suggested, and the luxray growled in response with a nod. He was lusting for a great battle; nothing like when Serenity helped train beginners. She blew her honey brown hair from her eyes and giggled as they fell back down; straightening down her skirt. She was about speak once more but what caught her off was a loud, "BANG!". Her eyes darted to the noise in fright, Rockstar padding to her side in protection.
"Luxxx." He growled, his mane prickling intentionally. Serenity blinked, trying to figure out where the noise came from and finally she noticed something -- two trainers. They were dressed funny; dark blue clothes with bandanas. At first, Serenity didn't understand why until she heard of them go, "Aqua grunt Joyce reporting. I'm in Saffron City." But the rest of muffled out. With a curious tilt of her head, Serenity took a step forward and began walking toward them. With Rockstar at her side of safety, of course. Team Aqua? What are they doing here? She thought, frowning a little.

This is very stunning and an inspirational scene for writers.
i just... dont have words.. haha.. i REALLY liked it
Absolutely beautiful and stunning work, I really love this!
Fantastic scene. The little sailboat seems to be lost, adrift in a misty reef, and its unconscious occupant will find himself in a strange new world when he wakes up as his boat crashes against those ragged rocks!!
The angle for the ship is a bit off, sort of looks like its part of a different picture, bloody gorgeous image tho man! congrats
that is beautiful~I say
very misty-fining
Absolutely gorgeous. These reflections, the fog... wow!
perhaps no prob but the boat should not be in this beautiful scene
thank u
The mist is beautiful
Superb work with this

The idea of the 'difficult second album' has become something of a cliché nowadays, a stock phrase used by artists and critics alike to explain away disappointment in the face of increasing hype. It's an easy get out of jail free card, an inherent excuse to not try your hardest, a defense against the weight of hype and expectation. It's also bullshit. Sure, some second albums are difficult. Of course they are. But then, so are some first and third and - if the band ever get that far - some ninth and tenth albums. It's all a question of situation and circumstance, the collision of time and space that dictates how things go.
For Tellison, it just so happened that time and space collided and conspired before (and for) their second album. While some bands may use the 'sophomore slump' as an excuse, for this London-based quartet - comprised of singer/guitarist SH Davidson, guitarist/singer Peter Phillips, bassist Andrew Tickell and drummer Henry Danowski - the term 'difficult second album' is, if anything, a myopic understatement. Back in 2007, it seemed as if Tellison were on the verge of big things - their London shows were full of people singing along to every word of every song and their debut album 'Contact! Contact!', released towards the end of that year, was highly acclaimed. 2008 continued in that vein for a while but then, somewhere along the way, the momentum fizzled out.
The band didn't disappear, but they withdrew into the shadows and the clamour that had surrounded them slowly faded away, except when they played the occasional gig. Four years after the release of 'Contact! Contact!' however, the band are once more emerging into the light. "It's taken a long time," sighs Davidson, "but life just got in the way. 'Contact!' was a weird one, because we did it whilst everyone was at University. I was in my first year and Pete was finishing up at Oxford. We did as much as we could, but that was managed by playing shows at night then driving back to everyone's halls, dumping them off for the next day's lectures and doing the same thing day after day. It was cool, but it was difficult. We toured quite a bit for that album to push it and see what would happen, but it gradually wrapped up and everybody went back to doing what we'd been doing all along. Then after Uni we suddenly had rent to pay so everyone got jobs and things just got quieter. We'd hoped we'd be free to write a new record, but it took a lot longer than we'd anticipated. We felt frustrated with our situation too, because we found we weren't doing anything we hadn't done before and we didn't want to just cross our fingers and hope for the best again."
In order to avoid that predicament, Tellison changed everything. They left their old label and management with the intention of relaunching the band. Time was moving on, and the pressures of reality were bearing down harder than ever, but they weren't going to be defeated. They were determined to write and record that second album, to move on and out of the rut they'd inadvertently fallen into, to use the time they'd unwillingly taken out to their advantage. It took a while, but the four-piece were finally back on track. "Eventually, we picked ourselves up again," says Davidson. "And I think, in a way, it was good to have such a long break. We took our time a bit more instead of trying to rush and say 'Let's make a new record now and put it out as soon as we can'. We had to be, and ended up wanting to be, a bit more considered about everything."
The result is 'The Wages Of Fear'. It's a record that positively thrives as a result of the long and arduous circumstances of its making. In fact, it's fair to say that it wouldn't exist had Tellison not had struggled so much - it was born out of that creative crisis, brought into existence precisely because the four-piece were unable to create. As Davidson sings in the first verse on opening track 'Get On'- "I'm a writer / I've got a bit of a problem / I picked up some moves in my youth / And I'm scared that I've lost them." The irony, of course, is that nothing has been lost. Although these twelve songs are riddled with the same insecurities and doubts, frustrations and misgivings, fears and worries, that plagued the band, they're stronger as a result. Erudite and literary, emotive and gut-wrenching, 'The Wages Of Fear' is partly autobiographical, partly fiction, but wholly fuelled by the struggle to make it.
"It's definitely come across on the record," says Davidson. "The frustration of just being stuck is quite tangible and there's an odd sense, for us, of being in a band at the moment, because a lot of our peer group have given up. The Dartz of this world, the Sam Isaacs and the Stapletons - all the bands we used to play shows with broke up. I guess they just felt "This isn't going anywhere" so they quit, got day jobs and went back to Uni and stuff. It's an odd feeling, to be the last ones standing, wondering 'Are we the idiots here who haven't cottoned on?' or 'Should we just take a deep breath and actually make a go of it?'
'The Wages Of Fear', then, is that deep breath - and the long exhale afterwards. It takes its name from a 1953 French film directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot, in which a group of desperate men trapped in a dead-end South American town are hired by a manipulative and dishonest oil company to complete a near suicidal task in the vain hope of earning their passage out of the situation they find themselves in. It's an apt analogy, and one of many literal, intelligent ideas that shapes and moulds the bewilderment felt by the band. 'Say Silence (Heaven And Earth)', a song that bursts with a desperate, frenzied urgency, takes a quote from Hamlet as its main refrain, while the plaintive, fragile 'Freud Links The Teeth And The Heart' turns psychosomatic philosophy into the most tender love song. Likewise, the sinister and ominous riff of 'Tell it To Thebes' recasts Greek mythology as modern, heartbroken malaise, 'Edith' is a buoyant ode to love that just happens to be centred around American novelist Edith Wharton (1862 - 1937) and closer 'My Wife's Grave Is In Paris' ends the album on a solemn, distraught note of regret. Yet the literary, erudite and intellectual references that infuse these songs don't detract from their emotional, visceral impact. And nor should they. There's no reason why music can't be intelligent and emotional - kicking you hard in the stomach while simultaneously stimulating your brain. That's precisely what 'The Wages Of Fear' does, from its very beginning to its very end. Yes, it was a difficult second album - and genuinely so - but the bruises and the scratches, the physical and emotional trauma, the blood, sweat and wasted years, were all absolutely worth it.

|HHS Dragon basketball blows by Akron; needs overtime to beat Chase County
|Written by Chris Lee
In front of a packed audience Friday, Jan. 29, the Holyoke Dragons hit the floor and beat Akron 60-36. Many of the players wore throwback socks to honor HHS alumni. The coaches were wearing tennis shoes with their suits in honor of Coaches vs. Cancer.
The following night, the team crossed the state line to take on Chase County in Imperial, Neb. Holyoke visited the free throw line 46 times in the thrilling 52-46 overtime win over the Longhorns.
Coach John Baumgartner said the mental toughness of the Dragons really showed as they were able to hang on and win in overtime. "We needed a tight game," the coach said. "We found a way to win."
Holyoke 60, Akron 36
After warming up in throwback warm-ups to honor HHS alumni, the Dragons were able to pick up their fourth conference victory with the win over the Rams.
Kyle Carper was back to help the Dragons. He led the team with 18 points. A noticeable limp could still be seen as his ankle was a little sore.
Ryan Baumgartner had a nice game scoring 14 points which was well above his scoring average on the season. All of his points came in the second half.
After a slow start, the Dragons poured it on—scoring 26 points in the third quarter. They held an 18-9 lead at the half.
Carper and Ryan Baumgartner each pulled down six rebounds to lead the team. The Dragons outrebounded the Rams 29-24. Holyoke finished 48 percent from the floor compared to Akron's 38 percent.
The Dragons kept the turnovers low only giving it up six times compared to Akron's 16 turnovers. Ryan Baumgartner had four steals to lead the team.
Holyoke buried 14-18 shots from the charity stripe. Carper was perfect going 8-8. Baumgartner and Brian DeBoer each finished 2-2 from the line.
Holyoke 52, Chase County 46
A physical game took place in Imperial, Neb. Saturday night as Holyoke found a way to come away with the win. Going into the game, coach Baumgartner said they weren't overlooking the Longhorns' 3-10 record.
Things were all tied up at 11 after the first stanza. Holyoke managed 11 in the second quarter to take a 22-15 lead into halftime.
Carper, playing on a bum ankle started the game but took the bench early in the first quarter after re-aggravating his ankle.
Logan Krueger stepped up and scored 18 points for the Dragons after Carper left the game. "Logan carried us," the coach said.
The Longhorns led almost every statistic throughout the game. Holyoke attempted 46 free throws, making 31 of them. Chase County only made six of 10.
Holyoke held a slim four-point lead heading into the final quarter. Two late three-pointers by the Longhorns brought them back into the game to force the overtime period.
All 10 of Holyoke's overtime points came from the charity stripe. Imperial could only muster four points.
The Dragons finished 9-31 from the field for 29 percent while the Longhorns went 18-36 for 50 percent. Chase County also won the rebounding battle pulling down 32 compared to Holyoke's 22.
Turnovers was an area in favor of the Dragons as they turned the ball over 14 times compared to 27 by Chase County.
The victory was Holyoke's 12th straight win after their season-opening loss to Idalia.
"I thought our kids battled extremely hard," coach Baumgartner said. "We had a lot of guys step up."
Upcoming action
HHS will travel to Wray, Friday, Feb. 5. Games are scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. The following night, the Dragons will host Burlington at 3 p.m.
Coach Baumgartner said things will only get tougher from here on out. He enjoyed the atmosphere during the Jan. 29 win over Akron and looks forward to another home game. Saturday's game against Burlington will be the first of three home games. Dundy County and Fleming will come to town the following week.

text: HOME Welcome to Dr. B's Vision One of the few Optometrists in Miami to Offer Care Credit and Wave Contact Lenses! Remember the days before the giant chains and corporate conglomerates? It was a time when the neighborhood eye doctor knew you like family. A time when you could entrust your precious sight to a skilled, clinical practitioner who was more like a good friend than your optometrist, and then be precisely fitted for glasses or contacts by people who are already familiar with your specific taste, style, and color preference. Dr. Berenthal remembers those days too. That's why he opened Dr. B's Vision by the Gables and South Miami. Something else that sets Dr. B's apart is our commitment to keep on the cutting edge of vision health and lens technology as one of the only optometrists in Miami to offer wave contact lenses. We also offer Care Credit so our patients can afford the eye care they deserve. We offer a state-of-the-art comprehensive eye health examination that enables us to detect eye problems early on, when they are better able to be treated.

I'm making a 2D list and I would like to initialize it with a list comprehension. I would like it to do something like this:
[[x for i in range(3) if j <= 1: x=1 else x=2] for j in range(3)]
so it should return something like:
How might I go about doing this?

Mere days ago, the teaser poster and a chilling viral video debuted for Paramount's upcoming horror movie, The Devil Inside, and, right on schedule, the first trailer has also arrived.
The horror movie follows a young woman named Isabella, who travels to Italy to visit her mother, who was locked away in a mental hospital in the country after killing three people during her own exorcism. To learn more about the nature of her mother's condition, Isabella takes part in a series of unauthorized exorcisms.
The Devil Inside is set for release early next year, the exact same day as Liongate's The Possession (formerly Dibbbuk Box), Deadline reports. The Possession follows a divorced couple (Kyra Sedgwick and Jeffrey Dean Morgan) whose child becomes obsessed with a wooden box haunted by a spirit that wants to devour its human host. It's up to you to decide which possession movie to watch on the unofficial "possession movie day," but only The Devil Inside has a trailer to watch (so far).
Written and directed by William Brent Bell (Stay Alive), The Devil Inside opens on January 6.
