None of that compares to the sight of the Lions.
Seeing the Lions in the playoffs is like witnessing Haley's Comet. Better look now; it could be another 75 years before it happens again.
The Lions are playing the Brees-led Saints on Saturday night, so many believe it could indeed be a meteoric appearance.
Or maybe 2012 is the end of the NFL world as we know it.
Maybe the Lions are here to stay. In fact, the Lions just might be the new Colts. I won't say the Lions are a new-and-improved version of the Colts – they'll need a decade of playoff berths or a couple Super Bowls for that claim – but they could be the next evolution.
Like the Colts first built around Peyton Manning, the Lions have a young quarterback with a seemingly limitless future in Matthew Stafford. His numbers in this, the undisputed year of the quarterback (sans Peyton), were phenomenal: 5,038 yards, 41 touchdowns. He's one of four quarterbacks in NFL history with 5,000 yards, joining Dan Marino and two other guys who did it this year in Brees and Brady.
Stafford threw for 520 yards and five touchdowns against the Green Bay Packers in the regular-season finale. I know the Packers rested some players and their defense reminds no one of the '85 Bears, but 520 yards? I didn't even know NFL games could last long enough for 520 yards.
Like Manning with Marvin Harrison, Stafford has a superstar receiver in Calvin Johnson. But where Harrison was a diminutive and silent star, Johnson is "Megatron." He's the prototype wide receiver turned up to 11. He's big, he's bold. I don't know how Stafford resists throwing jump balls to him on every other play.
Manning cultivated other receivers over the years, most notably Reggie Wayne, but also guys like Brandon Stokley, Dallas Clark, Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie. So, too, does Stafford have his other options in tight end Brandon Pettigrew and receivers Nate Burleson and Titus Young.
If the Lions get running back Jahvid Best back next season, perhaps he can become a reasonable facsimile of Edgerrin James.
The Colts' defense has been questionable over the years, but not without superstars in Dwight Freeney, Robert Mathis and – when quad willing – Bob Sanders.
Look, then, to the Lions' Ndamukong Suh, Cliff Avril and Nick Fairley. Big-play potential personified.
My comparison derails a bit when it comes to vintage Colts coach Tony Dungy and current Lions coach Jim Schwartz. They're opposites, with Dungy the calm, collected voice of reason and Schwartz an occasionally restrained maniac. Dungy's personality is a Jedi mind trick. Schwartz's personality is a Suh stomp.
So that brings us to tonight, when the Lions meet the Saints in their first playoff game since 1999. Should they even be given a chance? Brees' play over the last few weeks of the season was as dominating as any quarterback anytime. I don't see the Lions stopping him.
But, these Lions could go indoors and engage in a shootout like none other. Every year, some wild-card team seems to catch fire, gain momentum and turn the NFL conventional wisdom on its head.
If the world is to end in 2012, it'd be fitting to go out with turned-loose Lions and fireworks. If it doesn't end, perhaps a new world where the Lions are slowly moving to the top of the NFL food chain is earth-shattering enough.

There is no shortage of individuals who find the Washington Redskins name offensive to Native Americans. Even Congress has moved to get the name changed.
Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has staunchly defended the continued use of the name, insisting that the team will never change it.
"We will never change the name of the team," Snyder told USA TODAY Sports in May. "As a lifelong Redskins fan, and I think that the Redskins fans understand the great tradition and what it's all about and what it means, so we feel pretty fortunate to be just working on next season.
"We'll never change the name. It's that simple. NEVER — you can use caps."
Snyder's defiant comments to USA Today came one week after Stephen Dodson, a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan and Prince George County resident came forward to defend the team's use of the name on Redskins Nation. According to the Redskins, Dodson is "a full-blooded American Inuit chief originally from the Aleutian Tribes of Alaska" who referred to the team "redskins" as a term of endearment on the reservation during an appearance on Redskins Nation, a program produced by the team.
Dodson coming forward was cited by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell when he supported the Redskins in a letter to Congress.
According to a report on Thursday by Dave McKenna of Deadspin.com, Snyder and Goodell may have wanted to vet Mr. Dodson a bit more thoroughly.
According to the Deadspin report from McKenna — who it should be noted was once sued for defamation by Snyder — Dodson is not a chief (though it appears to be his nickname) and he might not even be Native American.
"I heard him say that [he and his family] go to pow wows? That's not Aleut or Inuit," said Kelly Eningowuk, executive director of the Inuit Circumpolar Council-Alaska. "And he talks about living on a reservation of some sort. There are no Inuit or Aleut reservations in Alaska."
Dodson referred to himself as "a full-blooded Indian" on the Redskins program, a term that is not used by either Inuits or Aluets.
"Aleuts do not call themselves 'Indian,'" said Larry Merculieff, an advocate for Aleut issues in the state of Alaska. "We are native Alaskans, but not Indian."
It's doubtful that this revelation will do little to lessen the fervor in which Snyder defends the continued use of the Redskins nickname. It could, however, draw the ire of Goodell, who sent the letter to Congress defending the name and may be the only man powerful enough to twist Snyder's arm in the matter.

The NASL returned to action this past weekend with for the fall season with five MLSers making appearances for their respective teams.
And perhaps none was on a bigger stage than Richard Sanchez, who played a part in reigniting the rivalry of old between the Fort Lauderdale Strikers and New York Cosmos.
The FC Dallas Homegrown and Mexican youth international (above) led the Strikers in front of a sold-out Shuart Stadium at Hofstra University, where the strikers fell 2-1 to the rebooted Cosmos. Sanchez played well despite the loss, including an impressive diving save on former Villarreal midfielder Marcos Senna in the 21st minute.
Also making their debut for the NASL fall season were two members of the Montreal Impact, playing for Minnesota. Sinisa Ubiparipovic played the full 90 minutes and Calum Mallace went for 87 in a loss to Atlanta, while the Chicago Fire's Kellen Gulley made a five-minute cameo for the Silverbacks.
Real Salt Lake starlet Enzo Martinez helped the Carolina RailHawks to a rain soaked 1-0 victory over FC Edmonton, logging a full 90 minutes in midfield.
In USL PRO, the streak has come to an end for the Richmond Kickers. A 5-2 loss at the hands of the Charleston Battery ended the 22 league-unbeaten streak for Richmond, with D.C. United goalkeeper Andrew Dykstra allowing all five goals.
Charleston employed the services of Whitecaps midfielder Bryce Alderson, who picked up an assist.
Second-place Orlando dropped points at home versus Pittsburgh in a match that saw Sporting Kansas City's C.J. Sapong lead the offense for the final 38 minutes to a scoreless loss. Orlando's second game saw better results as SKC loanees Sapong and Christian Duke combined for the first of three unanswered goals.
Sapong's two appearances make him eligible for the Lions' postseason. Orlando remain in second place, three points behind Richmond with a game in hand.

Severe weather possible Friday evening; sun returns over weekend
Posted March 31, 2016
Updated April 2, 2016
Raleigh, N.C. — A pair of storms passed through the Triangle Friday afternoon, making way for possible severe weather during the evening hours.
The morning's storm pushed off to the south and east of Raleigh, bringing lighter rain than was expected.
A second wave of storms will roll through in the evening that will put most of eastern North Carolina under a marginal risk for severe weather.
WRAL meteorologist Mike Maze said a cold front west of the Triangle and an area of thunderstorms in South Carolina will converge on central and eastern North Carolina Friday evening around 8 p.m.
"We're still in a marginal risk, the very low end of the scale for strong-to-severe storms," Maze said. "This will not be a widespread, severe event; we may not even have severe weather at all."
Maze said damaging winds, and possibly hail, could accompany storms if they become severe in the Triangle.
"I think by the time they [thunderstorms] arrive, we'll lose the heating of the day, so they'll be weaker when they get here," Maze said. "But still, there's a small potential—at least until 10 p.m. or 11 p.m.—that maybe one or two could become strong."
Patchy showers will remain on Saturday morning until around noon. They will move out by midday to bring a brilliant weekend.
"Showers will linger overnight and into tomorrow morning," Maze said. "We have more energy in the upper atmosphere overnight, so that should develop even more rain, lasting until at least through noon tomorrow."

Today, as many of you probably already saw, Facebook announced some new APIs to further open up access to the Facebook Stream through their new Open Streams API. Microsoft participated in their Developer event, where we began to outline and demonstrate several investments we're making in the coming months, to make developing for Facebook a whole lot easier for millions of existing and future .NET developers.
At the event, we gave an early look at what will be possible by demonstrating canonical applications built with Silverlight and .NET. First we showed a Windows application, built with WPF, that shows the power of what .NET and Windows has to offer, via caching and sync, incredible performance, feed integration, automatic docking and adaptive UI, taskbar integration, search and more. The second was a Web application, built with Silverlight, that shows feed integration, profile exploring, and an incredible DeepZoom-based image viewing experience with unique UX constructs for viewing large amounts of feed and friends-related photographic data. Check out the screenshots below to see for yourself how .NET and Silverlight will change the game in building rich apps with Facebook APIs. We will continue to build out these apps and will also ship the sourcecode in the future.
You might already know that Microsoft and Facebook have been working together since 2007 via the Facebook Developer Toolkit – a first of its kind open source solution to help developers integrate into and build applications for Facebook users. Now developers have even more reason to be excited. The bottom line: if you are building an application for the web, desktop, or mobile, and want to make it social and integrate it with Facebook, we will provide the tools and resources you need to create visually stunning, cutting edge applications faster than ever before. Stay tuned for more details as we release them.

I need a recipe for XXX.

While I am always willing to help a new reloader, I am hesitant to give out any reloading recipes on the interweb. It always amazes me the amount of folk that brag about the new Dillon 1050 they bought, along with 5000 primers, 2000 bullets and 8#s of XXX42 powder. They now want someone on the interweb to give them the perfect recipe for their gun using a mismatch of components they bought without knowin' squat. God forbid they spend the $25 for a good manual first and look for the appropriate components beforehand..
Reloading manuals are not just load recipes. While the internet, internet forums and company websites are great sources of information, reading a manual BEFORE buying $1000 worth of tools and components is what one needs to do. Then there are those that are just too lazy to open the manual they have and to work up a load in their gun. They'd rather have someone else tell them what's the best and then are happy to shoot loads that shoot "good enough". They send high priced bullets downrange with mediocre accuracy and think they are saving money by reloading.

Wet spring hasn't stopped farmers from planting corn
Tue, 04 Jun 2013 21:42:33 GMT —
Despite the heavy rains northeast Missouri has received over the last few weeks...that hasn't stopped Heartland farmers from trying to plant.
Farmer Bob Jackson has been planting crops at the Jackson Country Connection Farm for almost 50 years, and this year has been a good year so far in planting corn.
Jackson planted his corn crops around May 20 and they have spouted and grown to about two to three inches in the last two weeks. Even though May 1 is the ideal time to plant corn, it wasn't dry enough to plant it until then.
After last year's record drought which greatly affected the cropping season, Jackson said he is optimistic about this year's summer growing season.
"Well we want a good cropping season with moisture. We don't wait it too wet or too dry, and they will do well. They've got the genetics behind them for them to do well, so it's just a matter of time," Jackson said.
The USDA said about 91% of the nation's corn is planted. Normal for this time of year is 95%.
If the weather cooperates, farmers are hoping for a large harvest which would help keep food and beverage prices steady.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — Marianist Brother Richard E. Joyal, who was murdered in Haiti after withdrawing money at an ATM in late April, was a dedicated missionary who had worked in trying circumstances around the world, according to fellow members of the Society of Mary order.
Brother Joyal, 62, was shot three times in the back in an apparent robbery April 25. He had just withdrawn $1,000 from a bank in the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, when two men approached him on a motorcycle, stole his backpack and shot him.
Police said they had arrested a suspect in the murder, but they declined to identify him.
Brother Joyal traveled to Haiti to help close the Society of Mary mission there. He was due to return to his native Canada May 3.
"It's a pity, a real pity," Father Gerard Blais, who oversees the Marianist missions in Canada and Haiti, said in a phone interview with Catholic News Service April 30. "We knew the dangers there. He knew the dangers there."
Brother Joyal was helping secure visas and passports for 10 young religious Haitian men who were being sent to Marianist properties in other countries as part of the closure of the Port-au-Prince mission.
The Haitian mission was being closed because of a separate murder of a Marianist brother last year. On Aug. 29, a young Haitian brother was killed in a shooting, Father Blais said.
"It was a very bad situation," Father Blais said from his office outside of Quebec City. "We still don't know why he was murdered. We had to remove three others -- two Canadians and one French -- from Haiti after that murder. And the bishop asked us to close."
Father Blais said he asked Brother Joyal to travel to Haiti to close the mission "because he was used to working in hard situations."
Brother Joyal left Winnipeg, Manitoba, as a young man in 1983 to open the Marianist ministry in India. He spent 20 years there, building a "care center for street children, developing lay communities and promoting vocations to Marianist life, both lay and religious," according to a report on the mission published in 2006.
In 2004, he arrived alone in the Philippines, traveling to the Mindanao region, where clashes between Islamist separatist movements and the Philippine government had displaced hundreds of thousands of residents.
By the time he left four years later, Brother Joyal had created a ministry focused on working with impoverished, homeless children and a center "dedicated to the formation of young men interested in Marianist religious life," according to an article in a Marianist newsletter in 2009.
He first traveled to Haiti after the disastrous 2010 earthquake.
"Where others saw only poverty and despair, he spoke enthusiastically of the deep faith and liturgical celebrations of her people," wrote Isabella R. Moyer, president of the International Organization of Marianist Lay Communities, in a blog post April 29. "In an Easter message to a friend, (Brother Joyal) wrote: 'I knew all along that Jesus was Indian. I also discovered that he was also Filipino. Now, I am discovering that he's Haitian.'"
Brother Joyal's body was cremated, said Father Blais, who is working with Canadian authorities to have the remains sent back to Canada, where services will be held.

GoodLife Brewing Company
Goodlife Brewing Company's founders Ty Barnett and Curt Plants aim to create the best beers using quality ingredients and unique methods, all while enjoying life and having a good time. That philosophy fits their hometown of Bend, Oregon's reputation of being a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts—where playing and working hard go hand in hand. Goodlife was the ninth brewery to open in Bend as of 2011—a number that has nearly doubled in the last 18 months.
"We started homebrewing when Plants and I were roommates," said Barnett. "He liked it so much he enrolled in a master brewing program in Chicago and then studied in Munich, Germany. After graduation he was hired at Rogue Ales in Newport. While brewing there, he soon became assistant head brewer alongside brewing legend John Maier."
Growing up in Bend created an intrinsic appreciation of craft beer for Barnett and Plants. "We grew up with Mirror Pond and Black Butte as opposed to big brand beers," said Barnett. "The Northwest is about the good stuff: good food, good wine and good beer. We get to enjoy a great quality of life here, and craft beer is just part of enjoying a good day or…good life."
GoodLife's primary focus is on balance and unique flavors. Utilization of lesser-known or underutilized hops is key to their process. "I would say the most unique thing we do is brew using a method called Hop Bursting," said Barnett. "The key is to retain the hop characteristics from the brew through fermentation. When carbonated, they effervesce and you have a beer that has an amazing aroma and flavor. It's both science and art."
What beers does Barnett recommend to those new to the beer scene in Bend? Porter, amber or wheat ales top his list, with GoodLife's Sweet As Pacific Ale coming in as their most unique beer. Brewed with a New Zealand hops, Barnett describes it as "light, citrusy, very balanced, flavorful and not bitter. That is a beer I can hand to almost anyone and they will enjoy it."
Barnett continues, "The beer that embodies our brewery the most is our Descender IPA. We are a brewery not only in the Northwest, but in Bend. Beers are bigger here. We made this IPA to be balanced, clean but flavorful. We work very hard to craft our recipes to balance all aspects of a beer. Aroma, color, body, flavor and finish. We want to make sure all areas are within style guidelines, unique to our brewery and exciting to the drinker. We want you to enjoy the first sip as much as the last. And Descender IPA currently has a 94 rating which doesn't hurt."
What's on the horizon for GoodLife Brewing? Barnett describes their goals and views of the current trends in craft beer: "We are huge fans of canning, barrel aging, blending and sours. We are going to avoid the current trend of cutting quality in order to grow."
Barnett is keeping an eye on production and growth, with a desire to increase fermentation capacity by 120 percent.
Barnett's hope for the future: "Enjoy a GoodLife out of a can and continue to bring the GoodLife to more and more people."

Process of Elimination with Chad Wys
In his intriguing series "Process of Elimination," Peoria, Illinoise-based artist Chad Wys digitally deconstructs 18th century portraits through seemingly arbitrary additions and omissions of colors and smudges, experimenting with the concept of disharmony while still retaining a semblance of the paintings' original form and purpose. This technique of deconstruction plays a significant part in Wys' thought process and image-making, in which he enjoys shifting contemporary ideas into historical contexts to create reinvented artistic and cultural objects.September 09, 2013
The Works of Chad Wys
Illinois native Chad Wys' has continued his deconstructive assault on the art world. Using a variety of mixed media elements, Wy's has focused on creating a series of ready made objects that are based on objectivity and ownership. In doing so, he often explores and exploits the idea of object-hood: how we decorate our lives with arbitrary, as well as meaningful, things...December 31, 2012

NFS and 16 groups limit
I`m using Slackware with NFS share and I`ve been wondering why I had problems with access to some folders and I finally figured out that NFS limits group membership only to 16 :(
Is there a simple way to circumvent this in Slackware?
NFS can't limit group memberships, that doesn't make sense on a normal posix filesystem. A file just has a uid and a gid, NFS has no idea at all how many users are in the groups, that logic would have to live elsewhere. Can you demonstrate the behaviour you're referring to in more detail? if this something to do with the export on NFS maybe? Lots of groups listed in there??
You are wrong, NFS limits number of groups a user belongs to. The limit is 16. If user belongs to more than 16 groups they are not parsed via NFS :(
OK, so checking around I see what you're probably referring to. It's not NFS but the RPC authentication stages. I asked you to provide more information and you didn't... just saying "you're wrong" is somewhere short of useful.
So to move forwards, do you need all these groups? 16 groups is a lot for a posix account to be part of, I'd really think that it's been poorly managed along the way to evolve into so many gorup memberships. You can apparently look to use gss authentication (kerberos) with nfsv4 to work around the default auth methods. 10 seconds on google brings up this useful blog entry: http://nfsworld.blogspot.com/2005/03...imitation.html
I`m sorry for "you are wrong" but that doesn`t matter either NFS or RPC is to blame. I cannot use more than 16 groups via NFS anyway.
I`m reading this blog entry but I don`t understand much. BTW: What NFS version does Slackware use? I found nfs-utils-1.2.2
Does it support NFS v.4? If so why isn`t this default?
Nfs v4 is VERY different from v2 / v3, different models and practises, it's not just a code upgrade. You should have v4 support there by default, but you'll need to read up on it, and reconfigure your clients completely too.
This thread reminded me of this one, though it won't really help you.
This thread seems to still apply (unfortunately), so it will require some extra dependencies (note that they may have changed since then...you'll have to check) and a recompile of nfs-utils. I'm not sure if enabling NFSv4 would require modifying the startup scripts or not.

Torn Curtain is a 1966 political thriller, directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Paul Newman and Julie Andrews.Michael Armstrong (Newman) is an esteemed American physicist and rocket scientist. He is supposed to attend a scientific conference in Copenhagen, but instead heads for East Berlin. Apparently defecting to East Germany. He is soon followed by Sarah Sherman (Andrews), his assistant and fiancée. She is very reluctant in doing so but remains loyal to him.The defection is actually a ruse. Armstrong wants to meet Gustav Lindt (Ludwig Donath), the chief scientist in the East German military, to establish the extent of the Eastern Bloc's knowledge on anti-missile systems. He supposedly has a way to exit the country at will. Stasi, the East German state security service, has a very different view on the matter. Armstrong and Sherman are about to find out that entering East Germany was easy. Leaving East Germany is another matter entirely.Hitchcock was not entirely happy with the casting of this film. He wanted Cary Grant as the male lead, with either Eva Marie Saint or Tippi Hedren as the leading lady. Grant turned him down. He was preoccupied with filming Walk, Don't Run and intended to retire after that. Universal Pictures executives insisted on casting Newman and Andrews, in the belief that more famous (and also more current) stars would result in better box office results. Newman had starred in several hits the 1950s. Andrews was a younger actress who was mostly known for theatrical work prior to starring in Mary Poppins. After that film turned to a box office hit, she became one of the most famous actresses of the 1960s. Hitchcock and Newman had a difficult working relationship, Andrews felt borderline mistreated by Hitchcock due to the way he "neglected" her (as opposed to fetishizing her the way he usually did to his leading ladies), and the chemistry between the leads was rather poor. Nevertheless, it was a modest box office hit.
Troped Curtain:
- Bavarian Fire Drill: Michael shouts "Fire!" in a crowded theatre as a distraction to escape from the East German police.
- Break Her Heart to Save Her: Michael does this to Sarah (in a way) to keep his secrets from her at the beginning of the film.
- Cool Old Lady: Countess Kuchinska, a little eccentric but she sacrifices her own chance to get to America by helping the heroes get away.
- Eureka Moment: Lindt has one upon realizing he's been giving up his secrets while learning nothing from Armstrong in return.
- Fake Defector: Michael Armstrong.
- Graceful Loser: When Countess Kuchinska is unable to get away along with Michael and Sarah. She sadly notes her disappointment, but apparently doesn't blame the couple.
- Hidden in Plain Sight: Professor Lindt's anti-missile equations are on a chalk board for any and all to see. Makes sense since he was working at a (supposedly) secure facility were only authorized personnel would be allowed inside.
- Jerkass: The Ballerina.
- MacGuffin: The Soviet Union's anti-missile system equations.
- Rasputinian Death: Hermann Gromek, the first Stasi agent Armstrong attempts to kill, takes a good long while to go down, including spending most of the climactic fight with a butcher knife sticking out of his chest. Hitchcock's main goal with the film was to show how hard it could really be to kill someone.
- Reality Ensues: It turns out that killing someone isn't as easy as it looks in the movies. This was a deliberate choice by Hitchcock because a number of spy thrillers at the time made killing look effortless.

Forum OpenACS Q&A: sharing openacs on port 80
I´m looking for information about haw to share openacs on port 80. I can only share it on a port above 1024 (those first are for the system), but I´m sure it can be posible to share it on port 80....
any idea ????
If you are using aolserver4 under supervise (as recommended in docs) just put flag -b in your daemontools/run:
File /var/lib/aolserver/{yourserver}/etc/daemontools/run {yourserver} => service0 (example)
#!/bin/sh exec /usr/lib/aolserver4/bin/nsd-postgres -it /var/lib/aolserver/service0/etc/config.tcl -u service0 -g web -b 80
Then restart your service
svc -t /service/service0 (I think youre running Gnu/Linux, right? \Orzenil
you need to have root privileges to run it on port 80.
1.- I do not have daemontools installed (I believe that is
not important to start the application)
2.- First lines of my config.tcl file are:
ns_log notice "nsd.tcl: starting to read config file..."
# Instance-specific settings
# These default settings will only work in limited circumstances
# Two servers with default settings cannot run on the same host
# change to 80 and 443 for production use
set httpport 8000
set httpsport 443
# The hostname and address should be set to actual values.
set hostname [ns_info hostname]
set address 192.168.1.2
# Note: If port is privileged (usually < 1024), OpenACS must be
# started by root, and, in AOLserver 4, the run script have a
# '-b address' flag which matches the address given above
set server "service0"
set servername "New OpenACS Installation - Development"
set serverroot "/web/${server}"
so I do not know if I have to change anything on it.
3.- When I type what you told me
"#!/bin/sh exec /usr/lib/aolserver4/bin/nsd-postgres -it
/var/lib/aolserver/service0/etc/config.tcl -u service0
-g web -b 80"
I get next message:
"[24/Jun/2004:16:20:56][3456.16384][-main-] Notice:

and my end log file turns to:

nsmain: AOLserver/4.0 exiting"
it exits at the end cause I press CTRL+D to catch the
message so that does not matter.
After that, I can access openacs by port 8000 but not by
port 80.
Do you know what I might do ???
set httpport 8000
Change that to 80.
set httpport 80
then I try to start the openacs as root:
/usr/local/aolserver/bin/nsd-postgres -it
/web/service0/etc/config.tcl -u service0 -g web -b 80
and I get the following message in the log file:
nssock: failed to listen on 192.168.1.3:80:
Permission denied
I have also try to run openacs without the "-b 80" flag but I get the same log.
I do not know whats wrong.
Check the -B option.
You are in the right way now! Just follow what DaveB said and change your httpport parameter in your config.tcl to
httpport 80
Also be sure your ip address is correct with you configured network interface
set address 192.168.1.3
or just try:
set address 0.0.0.0
Dont forget -b flag. You can start your server as root but just check if it will run under your service0 userid (just type ps auwwx |grep nsd). Also check you are not running other service at port 80, ok?
Why not try daemontools? It is very usefull to keep your service alive.

Elassochirus tenuimanus (Dana, 1851)
Common name(s): Widehand hermit crab
|Synonyms: Bernhardus tenuimanus, Eupagurus tenuimanus, Pagurus tenuimanus
|Phylum Arthropoda
Subphylum Crustacea
Class Malacostraca
Subclass Eumalacostraca
Superorder Eucarida
Order Decapoda
Suborder Pleocyemata
Infraorder Anomura
Superfamily Paguroidea
Family Paguridae
|Elassochirus tenuimanus from 12 m depth, Coffin Rocks, Bowman Bay.
|(Photo by: Dave Cowles, July 2005)
How to Distinguish from Similar Species: Elassochirus is the only hermit crab genus in this area has a large right cheliped that has a carpus that is wider than long. The other Elassochirus species, such as E. cavimanus and E. gilli, have a propodus to the right cheliped that is narrower than the carpus.
Geographical Range: Bering sea and Aleutian Islands, Alaska to Washington; northwestern Pacific
Depth Range: Intertidal (rarely) to 388 m
Habitat: Around rocks, mud, sand, or shell bottoms, but usually near rocks
Biology/Natural History: This species uses the large right claw to block the entrance to the shell when the animal retreats inside (photo). When walking, the claw is bent beneath the body. The hydroid Hydractina milleri often lives on the shells this hermit crab lives in. Ovigerous females in Washington can be found from August to May. Larvae hatch March to May. Planktonic stages last several months.

HUNTINGTON — The doors to Marshall's outside receiver positions are wide open, and Deandre Reaves figures he might as well run through them.
Anything to get on the field.
"Wherever they need me," Reaves said Wednesday. "If they need me to play center, I'm going to play center. If they need me to replace [quarterback Rakeem] Cato, somehow, some way, that's what I've got to do.
The Thundering Herd's situation is hardly that dire, but the outside receiver spots can use the additional competition.
Enter Reaves, a 5-foot-1, 175-pound junior from Sterling, Va. In his Marshall career, he has been a running back, a slot receiver and a special-teams player. Most notably, he returned kickoffs most of last season, averaging 25 yards on 37 attempts.
Wednesday morning, as the Herd continued its second week of preseason camp, Reaves took snaps at the "X" and "Z" wideout positions, even on the first unit.
When the Herd reconvened Wednesday afternoon, he was running on the second unit at "X," opposite Craig Wilkins. The latter is the incumbent at "Z," having started 11 games there last year, catching 32 passes for 408 yards and two touchdowns.
And Wilkins is not safe there. After all, Angelo Jean-Louis was the first-teamer on that right side Wednesday afternoon, with Davonte Allen at the "X."
"I felt like we had three or four guys who we think can play inside," said MU coach Doc Holliday. "We wanted to take a look at him outside, and he went out there a day or so ago and did a pretty good job. They said competition brings out the best in them, and at the end of the day we'll have four or five guys [who can play outside]."
Reaves has different challenges on the outside, such as fighting through cornerback Darryl Roberts and occasionally getting double-teamed. But Reaves is as flexible about his opposition as he is about his role in general.
"It's not like it's a significant change or anything," he said. "Inside receiver you have the safeties on you and he's back a couple of yards, and then at outside receiver you have a corner who's up on you. Really, it's not too much different; you're still a receiver."
▪ ▪ ▪
There are the usual nicks and aches along the rosters, but the noticeable absences Wednesday came on the offensive line. Both starting guards, Blake Brooks and Michael Selby, joined right tackle Clint Van Horn on the sidelines.
That meant a patchwork offensive line, for sure, but Holliday doesn't foresee a long absence for the guards. "[Brooks] and Selby both, a couple of days, if that," Holliday said.
Sandley Jean-Felix has been taking Van Horn's first-string reps since the Beckley native was sidelined last week. Van Horn was out of his ankle splint Wednesday.

OK, so Jacob McCrary isn't coming to Marshall after all. Apparently, Shawn Petty is.
Petty is reported to be transferring from Maryland, swapping sides from the teams in the Dec. 27 Military Bowl. The 6-foot, 235-pound junior linebacker from Greenbelt, Md., attended the Herd's afternoon practice but did not participate. That may come next week, as MU's semester starts.
Petty had 24 tackles last year, four for loss with two sacks and one pass breakup. He had two solo tackles against West Virginia, a 37-0 win in Baltimore, but did not make the stat sheet in the Terrapins' loss to Marshall in the bowl game.
He left the Terps before spring drills. He would have to sit out the 2014 campaign, but that would serve as a redshirt season he hasn't taken. He would have two years of eligibility at MU.
He was ticketed for a redshirt year in 2012, but injuries forced him into taking the field as a quarterback. He was 39 of 84 passing for 500 yards and six touchdowns, with a rushing score.
Meanwhile, McCrary announced his intention to go to a junior college, a day after the WVU signee announced via Twitter his plans to enroll at Marshall. "My heart belongs West V … And that's where I want to be," he tweeted.
▪ ▪ ▪
In case it ever comes to play in 2015 or 2016, Herd quarterback Michael Birdsong hit a 35-yard field goal before the afternoon practice. That appears to be the extent of his range, but there it is.
Birdsong is the James Madison transfer who is sitting out this season.

Finally, fans have until Friday to purchase tickets for the 17th annual "Paint the Capital City Green," which takes place Thursday, Aug. 21 at the Embassy Suites.
Individual tickets are $60, with $30 tickets available for MU faculty and staff members. To order, call 304-696-7138 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Global History: Connections and Cultures in a Changing World, 1750 to the present
Module code: HS1012
Module co-ordinator: Dr Deborah Toner
Module Outline
This module examines what it means to study history from a global perspective, prioritising non-Eurocentric ways of understanding world history and focusing on various kinds of connections – political, economic, social and cultural – that define global history. As well as considering the methodological and conceptual questions associated with studying global history, the course is organised around four major themes: state, polities and interconnections; economies and material life; environments and cities; cultures. Each thematic topic will be taught through a broad introduction to the issues in global history and lectures focusing on specific case studies. The chronological span will be from c. 1750 to the present, but this may vary according to the approach to each theme and the particular focus of the lecturer. Themes will be examined comparatively and from a non-Eurocentric perspective.
Intended Learning Outcomes
By the end of this module, successful students will be able to:
- Critically discuss key methodological and/or conceptual issues in global history.
- Apply a non-Eurocentric perspective to interpretations of global history.
- Compare and contrast key themes in global history with respect to different regional case studies.
- Critically analyse historical primary sources in their regional and global context.
- Evaluate different historiographical works and debates in the field of global history.
- Demonstrate clarity and precision of communication skills in a variety of written formats.
Teaching and Learning Methods
Lectures, tutorials, workshops, guided independent study.
Assessment Methods
Formative assessment, essay, seen test.

Detailed Description:
This study will compare glucose and simple carbohydrate sensitivity. The hypothesis is that rapid emptying of high-glycemic index foods after Roux-En-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) causes reactive hypoglycemia. It is believed that the controlled release offered by an intact pylorus will be advantageous for long term results in bariatric surgery. This study can provide a scientific rationale, in a short duration of time, for why pylorus sparing surgery, such as the sleeve gastrectomy or duodenal switch, may offer therapeutic advantages, as compared to non-pyloric sparing surgery, namely the gastric bypass.

I have spent hours now reading the forum here and have gathered a lot great information .
But I still have questions , here is some back ground first though...
First we live in Indiana near places like Coalmont, and Coalcity; and our white vehicles are usually black from coal mine debris on the roads, so coal is available. Our home is on a concrete slab about 2600sq ft and currently we heat with propane. The propane bill is eating us alive so to speak and we are looking at other methods to heat for next season. We had started looking at a OWB and have heard some people rave about theirs, however I am not real keen on spending my ever waking hour cutting, splitting, toting, stacking and feeding wood into an inefficient OWB. The layout of our home will not allow for much change in heating methods without major renovation unless we go with a an outside boiler set up. If we go with a coal boiler that could be placed in a shed, it would also allow us to possibly heat the garage/shop, and small green house and connected outbuilding. I have been a hobby blacksmith now for about 20 years and use a coal fire to heat my iron, so I have a little experience with coal and know it to be a fantastic fuel, but the coal I purchase for smithing isn't cheap as I need low trace mineral coal "smithy coal". The coal I buy is pre bagged stuff and is always expensive. I typically only buy every other year so I can buy in enough bulk to afford it. I would guess my experience in burning small amounts of coal at a time will lend itself to larger volumes as well.
So my questions ,
What companies should I go to for reputable and knowledgeable assistance in this quest? I don't need just a salesman looking for a quick buck from a greenhorn.
With the use of a shed facilities for the boiler room, any thoughts on keeping costs down in construction?
Would it be wise to dig a "basement" to sit the boiler into so we would not have to find a way to hike the coal?
How much fluctuation can one expect in coal prices? How volatile is the market?
What questions should I be asking? (ya don't know what ya don't know)
Any other advice that could be offered is more than appreciated.
Thank you for your time and knowledge ,

Gee, is the jury still out on whether Mel Gibson is a bigot and misogynist?
I've been kind of busy, so I missed the story about Mel Gibson's latest bigot eruption.
Mel Gibson has reportedly exploded in another racially charged tirade, this time throwing around the N-word at his ex, Oksana Grigorieva.
His abusive and disgusting rant was caught on audio tape and includes a wish that the mother of his infant daughter be "raped by a pack of [N-words]," Radaronline.com reports.
Mel also calls Oksana a whore and a c**t while their baby screams in the background, according to Radar, which has listened to the tape. Mel's rep has not denied the tape's content.
Here are a few of his threats:
"You're an embarrassment to me. You look like a f***ing pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of n***ers, it will be your fault."
"How dare you act like such a bitch when I have been so f**king nice."
"I am going to come and burn the f**king house down… but you will blow me first."
No one can possibly be surprised at this (particularly former co-star Danny Glover) after his 2006 spew-fest: "F**king Jews… The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world," and his reference to a female police officer as "Sugar Tits."
Can everyone now agree that this turd is just a flat-out unrepentant bigot, a religious hypocrite, and misogynist and move along? I'm not sure how many other demographic groups we need to hear Gibson hate on, drunk or sober.

Computer games with vibrating hand-held control devices should carry health warnings because they can cause damage to hands, British doctors said on Friday.
The doctors think parents and children should be aware of potential health problems that could be caused by prolonged use of the devices.
"We believe that, with increasing numbers of children playing these devices, there should be consideration for statutory health warnings to advise users and parents," said Gavin Cleary of Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital in London.
Cleary and his colleagues called for the health warnings in a letter to the British Medical Journal after a 15-year-old boy developed symptoms similar to hand-arm vibration syndrome, which is caused by using industrial tools for long periods of time.
The syndrome was classified as an industrial disease in 1985 and sufferers receive disability benefits and compensation.
The boy, who played computer games with a vibrating control device for up to seven hours a day, suffered pain and swelling in his hands.
"The seven hours a day that our patient reported is excessive and exceeds the manufacturer's recommendation, but we must assume that this is not an uncommon occurrence," said Cleary.

I have had problems with my implants for years with at least four operations on one side and three on the other. I had gone to 5 other plastic surgeons before getting a referral from another great plastic surgeon who wouldn't even think of touching me. He told me Dr. D. was doing new procedures with fat grafting and I might be a candidate for it. I called and scheduled an appt. I'm from CT so it was a drive but well worth it.
The office is beautiful, the staff so helpful and I love the doctor. I brought in my medical history for Dr. D but he took one look at me and knew all of it. From that point I knew he was the doctor for me. He had no reservations from the start and I felt so confident. I'm doing the work required before surgery. Its a little trying at times, but I know it will be worth it in the long run and Dr. D. will do a beautiful job.
Plus for now I get to eat chocolate cake, pasta and chocolate. All the things I've stayed away from for ever. I need to gain the fat for the procedure. That outweighs the pre-surgery prep.

The president of Answers in Genesis says the recent discovery of a dinosaur bone in Montana supports the biblical creationist theory of a young Earth.
According to an article published in last month's Science magazine, in 2003 scientists found a Tyrannosaurus Rex thigh bone during an archaeological dig.
The research team had to break the bone in pieces in order to fit it into a helicopter, and when they did so, they discovered the fossil contained well-preserved soft tissues, including blood vessels.
Ken Ham, president of the creationist group Answers in Genesis (AiG), says this important find supports the biblical view of the Earth's timeline. "The reason this is such startling news is because you just wouldn't expect soft tissue and cells like this in a bone supposedly 70 million years old," he says.
The general consensus among scientists prior to the find was that such soft tissue could not survive for tens of millions of years. Now, the dinosaur remains have many evolutionists scrambling to accommodate their evolutionist ideas about origins.
But what AiG scientists would say about the find, Ham observes, "is that it's totally consistent with the fact that these bones aren't that old and probably date back to the time of the flood just a few thousand years ago." However, he doubts evolutionists will give consideration to the possibility that the T-Rex bones are only thousands rather than millions of years old.
"Nothing has been found, nothing in observational science, that contradicts what the Bible says," the AIG spokesman contends, "but over and over, it does contradict the ideas of evolutionists."
Still, because evolutionists' beliefs about the past are so entrenched, he predicts they will just look for ways to explain away the contradictory evidence.
"Instead of questioning their beliefs they just come up with secondary and tertiary explanations," Ham says. "'Well, given enough time ...' or 'Well, we think there is a process somewhere' or 'Well, even though we don't know why' - In other words they'll do anything but question their beliefs."
Ham is convinced proponents of the theory of evolution will not allow the Montana find to change their minds. Even though, he contends, the recent discovery supports the young Earth theory of origins, he believes evolutionists will say anything rather than admit that the biblical account of creation is true.

Report: 2 SC airports hit by $1 trillion in cuts
Sat, 04 Aug 2012 20:55:32 GMT —
FLORENCE, S.C. (AP) - A Washington think tank says two South Carolina airports could be among more than 100 nationwide forced to close if $1 trillion in federal budget cuts take effect in January.
The Florence Morning News reports that the Center for American Progress estimates the automatic cuts to domestic and defense programs could close airports in Florence and Columbia.
The $1.2 trillion in cuts over a decade were agreed to last summer by congressional Republican leaders and President Barack Obama.
The think tank estimated the impact of a 10 percent cut to the Federal Aviation Administration and thinks the agency would have to furlough more than 2,000 air traffic controllers.
If the layoffs protected airports with more than 600,000 passengers per year, that could hit Florence and Columbia.

An unrenovated house on a large block in Sydney's west sold under the hammer at the weekend for a whopping $3.2 million.
Despite being dilapidated and uninhabitable, the price tag for the two-bedroom, one-storey property in Merrylands, near Parramatta, was more than five times over the $616,500 median house price for the suburb, RP Data figures show.
At 535 Merrylands Rd, the red brick house sits on 7746sq m has dual street access and is close to Merrylands and Parramatta CBDs, with the real value coming from the size of the block.
The same price could only get you a three-bedroom apartment in the centre of Sydney with just 158sq m of living space.
The same goes for a unit in Potts Point or Pyrmont, which would provide about 220sqm of space.
While those may provide city and harbour views, this Merrylands parcel could hold 15 houses built on around 500sq m each.
Selling agent Matthew Carpenter of Starr Partners Merrylands said the deceased estate, which sold under instruction from NSW Trustee and Guardian, attracted eight registered bidders on the day.
"It opened up at $2 million and showed its true value as competitive bidding took off, we had a battle between two strong developer buyers" Mr Carpenter said.
"It was a terrific result and the property has never been sold in its history," he said.
Last week the Parramatta Advertiser reported that 64 Belmont St, Merrylands sold for a record in the suburb, as a single-dwelling property. This latest sale has almost doubled any previous records for the suburb.
"A block around 7700sq m just does not exist in Merrylands," Mr Carpenter said.
The property had a price guide of over $3 million and there were 67 contracts issued for the block, but Mr Carpenter said the residential 2A zoning deterred several buyers due to its restrictions.
"Obviously it didn't suit everybody but there were lots of inquiries," he said.
"It went to a local developer and I am excited by that because a lot of development sites are bought by either out-of-area buyers or international buyers. These developers know the area and that shows how passionate people are in the suburb," he said.
With no plans for the property at this stage, all further development will be subject to council approval.
"It will be a watch-this-space property," explained the agent.
"On one side of the property are townhouses and villas and on the other side of the block are residential homes.
"For the area, because we have a lack of residential property, it would be fantastic if it went towards villas."

Michael Joyner, Fort Wayne Police Department spokesperson, said the law is addressing a big issue for riders.
"You have to wonder what is going through the mindset of a cyclist or motorcyclists sitting there before this law was enacted. Do they run the light? Do they wait for a motorist? It's a good law. Our concern is that there is a requirement for the cyclists or motorcyclists to wait for two minutes before they proceed with caution, so the responsibility falls on that person to do what is required in the law and that's for good reason. Two minutes is not a significant amount of time to wait before proceeding," he said.
The law addresses an old problem for riders: the lack of mass needed to trip the street light detector underneath the pavement which tells the signal that a car is waiting for a green light. Before the law, riders would have to wait for a car to roll up from behind to activate the signal or just ride through the red light when they know the coast is clear.
By passing the law, Indiana joined 15 other states with the passing of house bill 1080. The other states that have "dead red" laws are Arkansas, California, Idaho, Kansas, Nevada, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.
Each state has its own variation of the law. Some include bicyclists while others don't. Some define "a reasonable about of time" or leave it up to each individual to decide.
Joyner said the new law is helpful to Fort Wayne's growing population of cyclists.
"The authors of this law were listening to cyclists who were doing the right thing by waiting for light but they realize that's an issue and they needed to rethink this. It's was an issue and they did something about it. But it all comes down to the cyclists and motorcyclists doing the right thing. The safety issue is paramount here. You want to wait your two minutes because typically the light will cycle within that period of time, but more importantly while you are waiting there for that amount of time your scanning traffic," he said.

A FATHER-of-three is putting his best foot forward and running a marathon a month to raise money and awareness for the charity, the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF).
Alan Naylor, 30, who is training to become a personal trainer, will take part in 11 marathons across the country throughout 2014.
Hoping to raise more than £2,500 to support IWF's work of removing sexual abuse content online, Alan ran his first marathon of the year, the Heartbreaker Marathon in the New Forest, Hampshire, on Sunday (February 23).
He told the Observer: "I read an article in The Sun about a journalist who spent a week with the IWF, reporting on the work they do. Although it was quite harrowing, it showed how important their work is and that they don't really get a lot of funding from the government. I have three kids so the issue really resonated with me and it is a really big issue these days.
"I have three beautiful children myself and could not imagine the despair, fear and anxiety they would face in a similar situation and it was the vulnerability of these innocent children which I found such a difficult pill to swallow."
The IWF was established in 1996 by the internet industry to provide a hotline for people to report criminal online content in a secure and confidential way.
And the IWF carries out a number of strategies at a national and international level which aims to minimise the availability of child sexual abuse content online and promotes awareness of global issues.
The proud father's next challenge is to run the Hastings Half Marathon on March 23 and Alan, whose daily practice includes swimming, running and martial arts, has been training for two hours each day.
The fit 30-year-old added: "I am an extremely active person and I love physical challenges so after giving it some thought I decided that a marathon a month would be a great way of raising some awareness and I could also generate some sponsorship that could go to the great and invaluable work of the IWF."
Susie Hargreaves, the CEO of Internet Watch Foundation, said: "Alan has set himself an incredibly tough challenge but he runs for a worthwhile cause – the fight against child sexual abuse imagery. Our team are grateful for his efforts and will be cheering him on every step of the way."

Patristic Quote for the Day (and a few thoughts)
The problem with thinking the narrow definition of justification is "the lot" is to miss out on the goodies that follow: (using the above) the gift of all that gold, being led to the throne of the highest power, given a seat at the Table of the Maker of the Universe and a place in His eternal palaces forever.
All these are founded in the payment of the debt owed, but my goodness, our Giver God goes so, so far beyond just declaring us "not guilty!" I can't help but wonder if he might think that we're being ungrateful when we fixate on that to the exclusion of what He has brought us into in Christ Jesus!

Indeed it does:
Adopted! Beloved! Welcome home! Mine forever! Life unending! Joys abounding! etc.
His Word creates what it says, delivers what it promises, and for this, all glory be to Jesus Christ!
- Elihu, the young said...
Is the declaration "not guilty," or "righteous!"
Maybe both.
God's Word creates what it says.
This is a good way to put it. It also helps to explain much of the substitutionary language in the Fathers, while recognizing that the way they discuss substitution is different than the way it developed with Anselm of Canterbury and reworked ad infinitum in the West, being the only paradigm available. It isn't that we are not ransomed, or that the justice of God is not offended and appeased, it is that salvation is not solely defined as "forgiveness" (or, justification in particularly Lutheran terminology).
It's like a kid at Christmas playing with the box and wrapping paper instead of the $500 gift they contained.
- Wartburg said...
On this Earth The Lutheran Confessions are THE very best in explaining and saying what GOD'S WORD says concerning JUSTIFICATION. I hope Lutherans are not growing tired of the best food in town (thier own Confessions).We may quote here a well-considered judgment of Dr. Dorner, one of the ablest and profoundest evangelical divines of Germany, who says in a confidential letter to his lifelong friend, Bishop Martensen of Denmark, —
"I am more and more convinced that the deepest defect of Lutheran churchism heretofore has been a lack of the full appreciation of the ethical element of Christianity. This becomes manifest so often in the manner of the Lutheran champions. There is lacking the tenderness of conscience and thorough moral culture which deals conscientiously with the opponent. Justification by faith is made to cover, in advance, all sins, even the future ones; and this is only another form of indulgence. The Lutheran doctrine leads, if we look at the principle, to an establishment of ethics on the deepest foundation. But many treat justification, not only as the begin-ning, but also as the goal. Hence we see not seldom the justified and the old man side by side, and the old man is not a bit changed. Lutherans who show in their literary and social conduct the stamp of the old Adam would deal more strictly with themselves, and fear to fall from grace by such conduct, if they had a keener conscience, and could see the neces-sary requirements of the principle of justification; for then they would shrink from such conduct as a sin against conscience. But the doctrine of justification is often misused for lulling the conscience to sleep, instead of quickening it."

The narrow view of Justification, whose weaknesses Pastor Weedon warns us about, is not the view of the Book of Concord. Rather this narrow view is that which is often called the "forensic" model. Certainly this, "not guilty," is the dominent way of speaking the Scriptures. The Temple sacrifices were mainly about payment for sins and the pronouncement of "not guilty." So also much of the Psalter. This is also St. Paul's main way of speaking about salvation as well. But it is not the only way the Scriptures speak. It is the main way, and arguably the most important way, but not the only. If it is the only way we speak then we miss a great deal of comforting nuance. As to the Book of Concord consider Art 4 of the Augsburg Confession where it is stated that those who are justified are "recieved into favor and that their sins are forgiven for Christ's sake." The Augsburg Confession sees more than just "not guilty." They understand the decree is "righteous" and that includes being brought into God's favor. But there is no favor without "not guilty." They can't be separated and there is also a logical chronology to consider as well.

Fr. Petersen,
The court metaphor is good and useful and gets across something essential; but to stop with it and miss the home metaphor and all its richness is to cut short the Gospel, as you imply. The Gospel embraces "not guilty!" The Gospel embraces: "Holy!" The Gospel embraces: "My child! My beloved! Welcome home!"
You wrote, "But there is no favor without "not guilty." They can't be separated and there is also a logical chronology to consider as well."
Unfortunately, this chronology makes God a hater of men prior to Christ's work, and only after we deserve his love, through the admittedly free gift of forgiveness, is he even able to love us. This is a fatal flaw that has at its root a misunderstanding of the Trinity. "God" and Jesus are the One Nature. Will is proper to Nature and not to the Person. Therefore, if Jesus so loved the world that he united Himself to us and saved us BEFORE our justification (chronology!) then Jesus and God would have different wills. Jesus is the revelation of God's eternal and unchanging favor for us.
Additionally, the Temple sacrifices themselves offered no salvation or Christ would not have needed to come. They were prophecies and foreshadowings of the work that God was going to do for them and the world. Similarly, we place ourselves before the not-yet-come Judgement Seat of Christ now, in expectation and proclamation of its coming.
Clarification: When I said that Will is proper to nature, it is not my opinion. This is the Christology that Lutherans share with all other orthodox, catholic Christians. It was expounded by St. Maximus Confessor and ratified by the 6th Ecumenical Council (Constantinople III) against the christological heresy of Monothelitism.
The Monothelites taught that Christ has one will becuase he is one person, the orthodox (and Lutheran) doctrine of dyotheletism teaches that Christ has two wills because he has two natures in the same way that the Trinity has only one will due to the shared, single nature of the three Persons.

No, that chronology does NOT make God a "hater of man," not ever. That's patent nonsense. A hater of men does not sacrifice His One and Only Son for their salvation.

Great quotation, by the way.
You are right, of course God is not a "hater or men" but the way that salvation is laid out skews traditional triadology. If we are "recieved into favor" because of Christ's work, then we had been "out of favor" prior to Christ's work. What does it mean then that the Triune God in the Person of Jesus Christ united himself personally with those who were "out of favor" so that God the Father could commune with them? The implication is that God the Father can't have anything to do with sinful humanity until His Justice is appeased by God the Son. So, God the Son can be born of a sinful human, but the Father has to stand back. This borders on tritheism, of a kind.
