THE HOMOSEXUALS, THE CHILDREN'S HOUR and More to Play at Vermont's 2nd Summer Pride Festival, 7/13-7/22
How do mothers and daughters deal with a coming-out crisis? Has the sexual camaraderie of gay men changed as the AIDS epidemic recedes from memory? Is it possible that a child's lie can ruin the lives of three adults? The staged readings of July's Summer Pride Festival at Chandler address these conflicts and situations.
This second season of Summer Pride will reacquaint audiences with some of Vermont's most gifted and acclaimed actors -- Richard Waterhouse, Alan Gelfant, Teresa Langston, Andra Kisler -- and introduce fresh talent from Johnson State College, The Sharon Academy, and South Royalton High School. The productions are all directed by David Zak, Executive Director of Chicago's Pride Films and Plays. The Festival also gives audience members the opportunity to experience new works by emerging playwrights Philip Dawkins and Cassie Keet and to remember why a Lillian Hellman play premiered in 1934 stands the test of time.
Running from Friday, July 13 through Sunday, July 22, this summer's festival includes two performances of each of three staged readings at Chandler Music Hall, renowned for its excellent acoustics.
Still Fighting It is the story of Maggie, a mom who has trouble coping when her daughter arrives home with an unexpected beau. Funny and touching, this new work by Cassie Keet was a finalist in Pride Films and Plays' Women's Work Contest.
The Homosexuals is a sizzling and sexy look at a group of gay friends and the ties that make them family. A runaway hit in Chicago in 2010, this new comedy by Phillip Dawkins will surely be recognized as one of the decade's lasting scripts.
Lillian Hellman's classic drama, The Children's Hour, is set in an all-girls school run by two women. When a teacher disciplines young Mary Tilford, she utters the lie that makes this script still powerful and potent nearly 80 years after its premiere.
After each evening's reading, there will be a talkback discussion between the audience and cast, followed by a reception in the Chandler Gallery.
Tickets for adults are $17 in advance, $20 day-of-show; for students, $12 in advance, $15 day-of-show. They are available online at http://www.chandler-arts.org or by calling the Chandler box office (802) 728-6464. A three-play pass is available for the price of two plays through the box office, but only if ordered before Thursday, July 12.
Chandler Center for the Arts joins with Pride Fims and Plays in announcing the second annual Summer Pride Festival, which it anticipates will enhance its other offerings and strengthen connections with the regional gay and lesbian community. Pride Films and Plays is thrilled to partner again with Chandler on the festival, which, using gay and lesbian characters or themes, will present human stories of parenting, marriage, faith, and love that become a cultural bridge to understanding.
Pride Films and Plays (PFP), a Chicago-based non-profit which links an international network of writers with film and theater producers, fosters excellent new work for the stage and screen that speaks not only to the gay and lesbian community, but also is essential viewing for our friends, family, and co-workers. PFP's Executive Director David Zak, who will once again direct the Summer Pride at Chandler offerings, has won many Jeff Awards for directing and writing. He is an adjunct faculty member at Roosevelt University in Chicago and has directed in Chicago, London, Dublin, Seoul, and New York. For more information, visit http://www.pridefilmsandplays.com.

I awoke to a blown fuse on the coal trol this morning. I installed a new fuse and found that I no longer have speed control on my blower fan. I have tried to manually adjust it without a change in fan speed- it just runs at 100% all the time now regardless.
How would I be able to fix this?

Delays Expected As American Airlines Comes Back Online
American Airlines halted all take offs Tuesday afternoon as the company worked out a computer glitch.The glitch was worked out Tuesday afternoon, but the airline says passengers can expect delays throughout the rest of the day.Flight-tracking service FlightAware estimated that about 900 flights would be delayed if American resumed flying at 5 p.m., and the cascading effect would cause another 800 delays Tuesday evening because planes and crews wouldn't be where they were needed.Customers couldn't make reservations or rebook if their flight was cancelled. Passengers described long airport lines and frustration at the lack of information from airline employees.The computer problems come just days after a new report was released detailing that American Airlines had tied with ExpressJet for the worst on-time arrival rate in the industry. Only 77 percent of American flights arrived on-time in 2012.The Associated Press contributed to this story.

Arkansas State head coach Hugh Freeze and his staff have taken the college football world by storm, and they are seeing success in every facet imaginable, to include on the recruiting trail.
That is evident as the Red Wolves landed their 14th commitment early Monday evening as Dallas, TX three-star wide receiver Braelon Roberts gave assistant head coach Tom Allen his verbal pledge.
Roberts (6-5, 170) selected the Red Wolves over Colorado State, Louisiana-Monroe, Utah State, and UTEP. He gave RedWolfReport.com his thoughts on his commitment.
"I'm just really excited to be committed," said Roberts. "I was offered just moments after the staff watched my film. Coach Allen called and extended the offer, so I took a visit to Jonesboro and I felt like the staff is loyal and it is a school I can trust. I just felt like I could fit in there."
Roberts said one thing that sold him on Arkansas State is the coaching staff.
"I just love Coach Freeze," said Roberts. "He is a great guy, and his entire staff just makes you feel at home. They have what it takes to get you pumped up and to always play hard and give your best."
The Red Wolves offensive philosophy is another reason given by Roberts for his commitment.
"Their offense is just amazing," he said. "I really like how their quarterback runs the offense, and I hope to get to be able to play on the field with him next year. I really like that this offense can keep a defense honest. It is strong enough to put an emphasis on running the ball, but they pass the ball a lot at the same time. I really like that."
Roberts has caught 30 passes for 530 yards and four touchdowns this season, and his team will play in the Texas high school playoffs this year.

MicroStation Visual Basic for Applications
LA Solutions staff have written a number of technical articles. These include programming, MicroStation®, GeoGraphics™, and relational databases. Some articles describe aspects of MicroStation software development, and others provide code examples.
You may also find the BE Newsletter useful. It is published by Bentley Systems.
We've written a miscellany of VBA tips, plus some longer articles listed here. We also answer that common question: "Where is MicroStation VBA Help?"
MVBA is Bentley Systems' adaptation of the Microsoft VBA toolkit. It provides a subset of Visual Basic™ (VB) functionality and is similar to the VBA implementations in Microsoft Word™, Excel™ and applications from third-parties. A MicroStation installation includes a VBA Help file, which provides extensive documentation and example code.
MicroStation CONNECT (v10) delivers VBA version 7.1. VBA 7.1 is Microsoft's 64-bit version of Visual Basic, and is compatible with VBA 7.1 delivered with Microsoft's Office products.
This article from Stack Overflow discusses the differences between VBA 6.4 and VBA 7.1.
This article from the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) discusses the VBA 7 Code Base.
MicroStation V8 (from V8.0 to V8i) delivers VBA version 6.4. VBA 6.4 is Microsoft's 32-bit version of Visual Basic, and is compatible with VBA 6.4 delivered with Microsoft's 32-bit Office products.
See our books page for information about books that may be interesting to MicroStation developers.
Where MVBA differs from other VBA implementations is its support for MicroStation. Just as VBA for Microsoft Word provides programming models for words and paragraphs, MVBA provides programming models for graphic elements, reference models, keyin commands, and many other features unique to MicroStation.
MVBA uses VB syntax and is easy to learn: there are many books and other tutorials available for Visual Basic beginners. The Interactive Design Environment (IDE) is similar to the IDE in Word and Excel, and not too dissimilar to the IDE in VB itself.
VBA's Interactive Development Environment (IDE) provides a lot of tools to help you. Explore the IDE. Take a VBA training class.
VBA includes debugging tools.
Function key F8 lets you step through your code and examine the state of your variables.
object is your friend.
Debug.Print "Trace message" gives you information that only you can see in the IDE.
See also the MicroStation
Message Center that can provide debug data to your users.
One irritating failing of VBA, and Visual Basic as well, is its lack of support for a mouse wheel. That is, you can't use the wheel on your mouse to scroll through code in the VBA IDE. However, Microsoft has published a fix for this problem. Visit this link to learn how to enable mouse-wheel scrolling in both VB and VBA.
One of the simplest ways to get started with VBA is to record a macro. Use MicroStation menu Utitilities|Project Manager to pop the VBA Project dialog. The record macro buttons let you capture your user actions as a VBA recording.
Q How can I use VBA with .NET?
A A common question that has no simple answer. VBA and .NET are both Microsoft technologies. However, VBA predates .NET by several years. Unfortunately, they don't work together.
It's possible to write functionality using .NET that you can use from VBA. The trick is to write a DLL using your favourite .NET language, and make that DLL COM-compatible. Use Visual Studio .NET to develop a COM server implemented in a DLL. This article shows the tricks and pitfalls.

Microsoft provides Visual Basic for Applications to software vendors in its VBA Toolkit.
The vendor uses the VBA Toolkit to implement and customise VBA for their application.
VBA generates binary code that is tightly coupled to the host application.
The code is in a container whose nature depends on the vendor's policy.
For example, a Microsoft Excel™ VBA project is stored in an Excel workbook or add-in.
A MicroStation VBA project is stored in a
.mvba file.
Visual Basic cannot read a
.mvba binary file.
If you want to move VBA code to a VB project, then you should export the source code from the VBA project.
Export code from the VBA Interactive Development Environment (IDE) by
right-clicking in the Project window and choose the Export option from the pop-up menu.

I have completed two Fraxel Restore sessions for facial scars, but I still have many scars on my face. The setting used on me was 45 mjoules. Is this enough, or too low? What is the usual setting for this procedure?
Usual Setting for Fraxel Restore?
Doctor Answers 5
Fraxel re:store for scar treatment
Hi gig,
It takes a series of Fraxel re:store treatments to get optimal results with the treatment of scars. Often after only two treatments the improvement is minimal. It usually takes 4 or more treatments, and sometimes even a few months after the treatment as collagen remodeling continues.
At 45 mj the laser reaches a depth of 1176 microns or 1.176 millimeter. By increasing the energy setting to maximum 70 mj, the depth increases only about 0.2 of a millimeter (1359 microns, 1.359 millimeter).
Fraxel re:pair can go deeper, and may take less treatments, but the wound care and downtime is greater.
The energy level of your treatment can be turned up a bit, but the biggest factor for you will be the number of times you have the treatment. Good luck and be well.
Dr. P
Fraxel restore settings vary, depending on skin type and condition being treated
Your physician can vary the settings, and we have found that the best results are achieved using high energy (50-70mJ and high density (25-35% coverage). Your social downtime will increase with these settings, but most patients are willing to accept this to gain the better results.
If you have olive skin, your risk of developing brown discoloration (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation) will increase as well (we actually examined this in a clinical study and published the findings). This is almost always a temporary side effect.
You may want to also consider the fraxel repair to address you concerns, as this is an excellent choice to improve scarring (surgical, acne, and traumatic).
Take care,
Dr. Groff
45 may be a little low
Acne scarring and facial scars do need more intense treatment settings for better outcomes. Most of my acne scarring patients will have settings between 50-70 for the milli-joules. As already mentioned, it is NOT common to see a result after 2 treatments with the Fraxel restore. For scarring, it will take between 4-6 treatments for most patients. Even though most patients with facial scars need more intense treatment settings, there are patients that cannot tolerate those settings and will need to turn the settings down. These patients will likely not obtain optimal results and will likely need more treatments for better results.
I have had many patients start at 45 mJ on their first treatment and then I increase the settings on the subsequent treatments. It is hard to make a generalization that 45 mJ is bad for all patients, but it is a little low for scars.
The Fraxel repair laser can go deeper but will have a substantially longer "downtime." Good luck with your procedure.
You might also like...
Fraxel settings should be determined by an experienced physician
Have you discussed your concerns with your physician? In general, 70mj is the best for acne scars, but there may be a reason for your doctor to be treating you lower (skin type, pain threshold).
The other issue is the treatment level, which can be adjusted and will also impact results and pain perception.
Fractional CO2 may be an option for fewer treatments. One will give more of a result than 5 Restore treatments, but significant healing time and prolonged redness must be anticipated.
Good luck!

Hard to answer your Fraxel question
In order to answer your question, I would first need to know a little bit more about your skin color, tone, texture and your age, as well as the overall condition of your skin to be treated and what you are trying to improve. The Fraxel Laser has multiple ways of implementing a treatment plan or perscription to achieve your desired results.
I oversee all of the setting recommendations and also deliver the treatments myself. My nurse provides all of the educational needs, pre and post procedure protocols.
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.

Adidas Football
I love football and was expecting Adidas's new site to deliver some killer content. The problem for me on the site is the navigation.
It's just so non-intuitive and the rollovers on the "wheel" are really trying – just one little mouse movement off the subject and you lose the scene you wanted to look at.
Shame as there is so much excitement around the wonderful game of football and this site just falls flat delivering it. A little video excitement of cool action would have been nice.

The Msg meal ticket Knicks plays on Msg tonight so the Garden needing the best possible chance at a descent Ranger rating does not move the Rangers to Msg-2, which would produce a terrible rating, but moves the Islanders to FSN-2 and puts their own teams game on FSN.
Life with Msg owning the local rights to four hockey teams which includes the Buffalo Sabres.
NYI Fan Central Comments:
This is why the Islander ratings have been low for years which is what media people like Neil Best, Richard Sandomir, Bob Raissman and Phil Mushnick do not consider when discussing hockey ratings once or twice a year as filler in their articles. All they write is no one is watching the Islanders in their limited research on the subject.
I used to like Mr Mushnick's work because he always wrote about media injustices, but when it comes to his own paper not hiring an Islander beatwriter he has selective amnesia or is prohibited from writing anything on the subject.
The Knicks played one game on these overflow stations last year and got only a 0.2 in their final regular season game a year ago.
Where I watch the game on Time Warner Cable in New York the game is not even advertised on the cable program guide, it's the TV Guide channel. Unless you are a die hard fan knowing the channel will be activated at game time you will not find it. If you do not own a computer you will have no chance at even knowing the Islanders are playing.

In remembrance of the 11th Anniversary of the terrorist attacks that took place on September 11, 2001, Rep. Ralph Hall (TX-04) released the following statement:
"Today Americans remember together the tragic events of 9/11. We pay tribute to all those who lost their lives at the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and the crash of Flight 93 in the fields of Pennsylvania. We also remember the bravery, heroism, and selfless efforts by first responders - many who lost their own lives in the process of saving others'.
"Although the years pass, we continue to lift up our prayers for the families and friends who lost loved ones that day. And we also continue to pray for all the men and women in uniform who place their lives in harm's way to defend our Nation's safety and freedom. We owe both our servicemen and women and their families our gratitude for their sacrifices.
"Most importantly, we must continue to lift up our prayers for our Nation. Americans came together to overcome the tragedies of 9/11, and together we will continue to stand strong. May God continue to bless America."

All is relatively quiet on the Flyers front as they get ready to open their second round series with the Boston Bruins today. The past few days have been filled with references to last postseason's matchup that saw the Flyers stage a historic comeback that no one reading site this needs further reminding about. But, the players themselves aren't too focused on 2010, which despite its unforgettable place in team history, is only a footnote in the current series once the first puck drops. Fans can and should enjoy The Comeback at any opportunity though, particularly when the trash talk gets going. It's hard to imagine the players won't be chirping about it too.
Here's a look at some of the other storylines heading into the series, including the odds the Flyers are being given to advance, and win the Cup.
Simon Gagne factored heavily into the Flyers' last series win over the Bruins, but his second round has begun on a very scary note. Gags was hit hard into the boards and tossed to the ice, with his head bouncing on impact. He was alert and talking in the locker room after refusing the stretcher, but with Gags' concussion history there's certainly added concern. Hell, watch the impact. He didn't need to have history for this to be a worry. [Puck Daddy]
The Lightning did still win that game, beating the Capitals, 4-2.
Beyond last year's matchup, here's a look at how teams have fared in the second round in a historical sense. [The Checking Line]
How glad are you that Flyers hometown broadcasts aren't dominated by the egos of their broadcasters. Can you imagine having to listen to Jack Edwards on a regular basis? [Broad Street Hockey]
Ryan gets a few shots in before the opening faceoff. [Flyers Goal Scored By]
Perhaps the biggest difference between last year's series and this one is that the Flyers will face Tim Thomas instead of Tuukka Rask. Meanwhile, two current Flyers who played on opposing sides in the Stanley Cup Finals no longer have lockers at the Skate Zone. [CSNPhilly]
Thinking about heading down to the game today? The Flyers have released some of the NHL's unused tickets, which are available here, or call 215-218-PUCK.

Edmonton Oilers pick-up Mike Brown is hard man of hockey, but soft with the puck
Brown can skate a bit, hit, block shots, help a bit on the PK and fight, fight, fight…but he can't help you at all to score goals
There can be little doubt Mike Brown, the Edmonton Oilers newly-acquired winger, is a hard man of hockey. Brown fights, he hits, he blocks shots, he gets banged up constantly.
But he's soft on the puck. By that I mean he's no kind of puck carrier or mover at all.
In 254 NHL games, Brown — a thick, strong player, no more than 6-feet tall, but with broad shoulders, all the better for hitting you with — has just 14 goals and 11 assists.
That said, he can help a team looking for toughness and penalty kill. On the Oilers, he could replace either Ben Eager or Lennart Petrell in the line-up on the fourth line. If he could win faceoffs — too bad he can't — he'd be a ready replacement for the non-physical Eric Belanger, who has trouble helping his line getting any kind of cycle going in the offensive zone.
When you review the best and worst moments of Brown's play from this season and last season — all the goals he was on for and all the goals against — you will see a player who rarely carries the puck.
At even strength, he's a low-event player, who helps his team score about as many goals as he makes mistakes on. That's a poor ratio for a winger, hence his limited time on ice at even strength.
In the last two seasons, Brown helped his team score seven goals at even strength, while making mistakes on six against. He doesn't appear to be a bad defensive player. He's not a turnover machine or a guy who is out of position very often. In fact, on my video review he looked disciplined when it comes to tending his defensive chores. But he has so little offensive game, he can't make up for the few goals where he makes some small mistake.
He's a quick enough skater and scampers about energetically on the penalty kill, ever willing to get down low to block shots. His stick could be quicker, though, to block passing lanes. After Ron Wilson was fired as coach, Brown went from having a regular role on the penalty kill to having none at all. His ice-time dropped from eight-plus minutes per game in 2010-11 and 2011-12 to just over four minutes per game this season.
When it comes to fighting, he takes on and sometimes beats bigger men, such as Arron Asham this season.
This year he has fought Asham, Brandon Prust, Mike Weber, B.J. Crombeen and Tye McGinn.
Last he fought Zenon Konopka thrice, Zac Rinaldo, Ben Eager, Tom Kotsopoulos, Kris Newbury, Brad Mills, Jim Vandermeer and Brad Staubitz.
Brown tries to tie up his opponent with his right hand, before unleashing a series of quick hard jabs with his left.
Yup, he's a hard man of hockey.
Just don't count on him to make many good hockey plays with the puck for you.
Perhaps the Oilers have use for such a player. It's unlikely, though, that he'll been anywhere close as good as Petrell on the penalty kill, and it's also unlikely he's a better two-way player than Ben Eager at even strength. Yet, as fans are point out today, Eager is reluctant to fight, and fighting is what is needed from a bottom-line tough guy. And Brown is also not so far behind Petrell at even strength, though this isn't saying much, of course, as Petrell's even strength contributions are limited.
But Brown will fight more than anyone on the Oilers roster right now, and that will get him some ice time on this team, which lacks physical spark.
Essentially, Brown is filling the Darcy Hordichuk fighter/energy role, and it's likely he's a better player than Hordichuk.
And what I like about the trade, in the end, is that the acquisition of Brown puts heat on Ryan Jones, Ryan Smyth, Lennart Petrell and Ben Eager to all crank up their games.
This trade will help the Oilers in that regard, so I don't see the price as being too steep.

Plus Politicians. Today I read that wonders of wonders, I am not a lone Brit that thinks our country is run by total incompetents, for two academics have written a book that some of you may want to read. Its is by a Anthony King & Ivor Crewe and is called "The Blunders of our Governments".
Apparently it lays bare the long list of ways our useless Pollies have and are wasting Billions of taxpayers money on a variety of ways. I have long been aware that this happens and here are official examples of where I am right, as it were. I have been saying for decades that not one government department is fit for purpose and if this is so this is the reason, along with our useless self serving Pollies, that we have to suffer this. If this country were a business it would have gone into liquidation long ago. Plus all our Pollies would have been barred from being able to practice.
The book also makes it plain that the UK isn't the only country that suffers from this malady, but we happen to be among the worst. So if you want to make yourself even more depressed then I guess this book is their way to do it.
On Thursday I had a meeting with my lawyer about my forthcoming Court appearance charged with the crime of the century, namely scratching someones car. Like me he thinks that the evidence put forward by the Police is a shambles of contradictions and ludicrous assertions. None of which comes up to the high requirements to obtain a conviction in criminal cases. IE: the evidence has to be so strong so as to be without doubt. On top of this he says that the whole court system is a shambles these days and because of that he has heard nothing from the CPS or Police re their evidence, except the shambolic collection of statements already put forward.
This backs up my assertion that this is an exercise by the Police just to stick it to me because I write nasty things about them on this blog.After all it costs them nothing to do this and they will think that it will give me a certain amount of aggro. How the CPS could sanction this weak and shambolic case only makes me believe my assertion that this is only to help their buddies the Police make things hot for me. This especially so when it is being complained that the Police these days are refusing to actually charge crims for serious cases and only cautioning them, so as to save time and money etc, etc and not fill our prisons even more with the scum of the country. Why do that when they can let them run riot out there in the Public, just like the nutters they let out so they can go on and kill again !!!So we will see.

THURSDAY, May 14 (HealthDay News) -- In patients with diabetes, simple low-cost care initiatives may lead to significant clinical improvements, according to research presented this week at the annual meeting of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, held from May 13 to 17 in Houston.
Pardeep Bansal, M.D., of the Scranton-Temple Health Center in Pennsylvania, and colleagues reviewed the charts of 272 patients at three clinics before and after an intervention that included lectures by an endocrinologist and a diabetes
initiative team given to clinic staff; provision of microfilaments to all residents; use of diabetes flow sheet and a diabetes poster for patient and staff education; and implementation of a Medicare physician quality reporting initiative.
The researchers found that the intervention was associated with improved rates of optimal blood pressure control (from 46 to 51 percent), documented foot exams (from 46 to 84 percent), and documented hemoglobin A1c readings (from 76 to 94 percent). However, the intervention was not associated with improvements in mean hemoglobin A1c levels.
"Out of these different interventions, probably patient's education is the most important factor in improving the patient's outcome," the authors conclude.

NC Central sweeps NJIT in season opening DH
Posted February 17, 2013
Durham, N.C. — For the first time in the modern era of North Carolina Central University baseball, the Eagles have opened the season with a pair of victories, beating New Jersey Institute of Technology 11-4 and 5-1 in the doubleheader sweep at the Durham Athletic Park on a cold Sunday afternoon.
In game one, NCCU broke open a 4-4 tie in the seventh inning by scoring seven runs on three hits and four Highlander errors.
Junior transfer pitcher Terry McNabb recorded the victory for the Eagles, allowing just one hit with seven strikeouts in 3.1 shutout innings.
NCCU's game one offense was paced by junior right fielder Ronald Thompson with a two-run blast over the right field wall for his team's first scoring of the season, while junior second baseman Dylan Drayton collected two hits and junior designated hitter Tyson Simpson drove in two runs.
In NCCU's 5-1 game-two victory, senior hurler Glenn Frye allowed just one run in seven innings on the mound, scattering five hits with 10 strikeouts to earn the win.
Junior third baseman Troy Marrow was a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate with an RBI to lead the Eagles's 10-hit offense. Senior first baseman Luis Diaz hit 2-for-4 with three runs scored and an RBI, while junior catcher Carter Williamson recorded a double with two RBI.
NCCU returns to the Durham Athletic Park on Wednesday (Feb. 20) to host Davidson College at 4 p.m.

Dear Linda,
I've noticed in several of your books (I haven't read them all to be 100% sure), you always have a scene of some sort where the H & H are eating, usually in a restaurant. Is this a little perk of yours?
Oh, geesh, do I? LOL! I've never been aware of that odd habit that I seem to have. Now I'm going to be very conscious of it, but to me such a scene is always inevitable. The hero and heroine need to talk at some point, and a very comfortable way of doing that - prior to and after love scenes - is when they're having a bite. I guess you could say that food and sex go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Statement on Religion Law in Russia
In late September 1997 the two houses of the Russian Parliament adopted legislation on religious freedom, and President Boris Yeltsin signed the legislation. According to the newly-adopted law the religions historically present in Russia are given full legal rights and privileges, while other religious groups are subjected to certain limits and faced with legal procedures connected with registration.
Since the liberation of Russia from oppressive anti-religious policies of communist rule, all religious communities and groups in Russia have experienced a revival of religious life and activity. First among these has been the Russian Orthodox Church, whose network of dioceses and parishes have experienced dramatic growth, and whose charitable and educational work has attempted to meet the opportunities and demands of the new religious liberty.
At the same time, numerous mission efforts have been undertaken in Russia by missionary groups, both Christian and non-Christian. These have often been high-profile, well-financed mission efforts bringing messages new to Russian society. In a country which was a closed, totalitarian society less than ten years ago, these missionary programs and "new religious movements" have naturally caused tensions and anxieties in Russian society. These tensions and anxieties are exacerbated by the absence of habits, legal precedent, customs and traditions of religious pluralism and democratic freedom.
The reaction of Russian society, as expressed in the new legislation on religion, is understandable, given the present situation. It may well be that steps should be taken to bring some order into the chaos of the post-Soviet, post-Communist public arena in Russia. Yet, as American Orthodox Christians, we are concerned that the legislation clearly gives opportunities for over-reaction by Russian society and the Russian state and carries within it the possibility of new suppression or religious liberty in various parts of Russia. As an American religious body, furthermore, the Orthodox Church in America sees two dangers in the present situation in Russia. The first is the risk of chaos and deep divisions provoked by insensitive and aggressive methods of religious mission and proselytism. The second is the temptation of suppressive policies on the part of the state and society, which in the long-run would have a negative impact also on the mission of the Russian Orthodox Church.
We hope that in Russia both of these extremes will be avoided by wise and restrained implementation of the new legislation, in compliance with the Russian Constitution and its principles of religious liberty. We hope that in the United States of America both government and religious communities will remain in a constructive dialogue and engagement with Russia, as Russia attempts to steer its course in a moderate and freedom-loving direction.

Shannen Doherty getting married on WEtv reality show
In case you've been wondering what Brenda from 90210 has been doing since Charmed, she's been busy getting a reality show of her own. That's right, we're all gonna see Shannen Doherty get married. Mrs. Juice* wants to know if Brian Austin Green will be there.
WEtv has signed a deal with Doherty to marry photog fiance Kurt Iswarienko on the air in a new reality show.

On each DB server: Setup snmpd and use snmpd.conf to set disk quotas and mark processes that need to be running (like postmaster,syslog,sshd) On the monitoring server(s): Use cricket for long term trends & graphs. Use nagios for current status and alerting and some trending. (Nagios has plugins over SNMP for load,cpu,memory,disk and processes) Here's the nagios plugins I have hacked up over the past few months and what they do. I'd imagine some could use better names. I can provide these of package them up if anyone is interested. check_pgconn.pl - Shows percentage of connections available. It uses "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM pg_stat_activity" / "SHOW max_connections". It can also alert when less than a certain number of connections are available. check_pgqueries.pl - If you have query logging enabled this summarizes the types of queries running (SELECT ,INSERT ,DELETE ,UPDATE ,ALTER ,CREATE ,TRUNCATE, VACUUM, COPY) and warns if any queries have been running longer than 5 minutes (configurable). check_pglocks.pl - Look for locks that block and for baselining lock activity. check_pgtime.pl - Makes sure that postgresql's time is in sync with the monitoring server. check_pgqueries.pl - Whines if any queries are in the "waiting" state. The script that runs on each DB server does "ps auxww | grep postgres | grep -i "[W]aiting"" and exposes that through SNMP using the exec functionality. Nagios then alerts if queries are being blocked.

Lady Leps Jump Out Early for 24th Consecutive Win
SMITHVILLE – Another day, another easy win for the La Grange softball team as the Lady Leps eased past Smithville 7-2 Saturday for the club's 24th consecutive win. It was an usual game in several respects. La Grange jumped out to a 7-0 lead by the third inning, but then were shut out the rest of the way. Meanwhile the Lady Lep batters drew a whopping 13 walks in this one, making for a very slow-moving contest.

Hi There,
I wanted to let you know that we do not allow doctors to self-promote, not refer other doctors, so I have included a link below that will direct you to our board certified doctors that are qualified to perform SmartLipo MPX.

Doctor Answers 1
Finding Plastic Surgeon for Me?
I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.
Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done.
I caution all patients to NOT select their surgeon based on cost considerations primarily; remember that revisionary surgery may be more costly in many ways.

"If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if some one should rise from the dead" (Luke 16:31).
The Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man is the only parable that has a named character; and the only parable in which Jesus describes the "afterlife." In these two instances it remains unique among the Lord's parables. It is a parable extremely rich in content, with a rather complex structure based upon a "reversal of fortune" and filled with multiple themes. Yet, certainly one of those many themes is quite apparent and revealed with a stark directness: the consequence of ignoring the poor and needy, embodied in Lazarus, the poor man at the gate. (Is he given a name to emphasize this point in a personal and less forgettable manner, so that his character takes us beyond an anonymous example of the poor?).
The rich man in Hades—the biblical realm of the dead—bears the consequence of his indifference to Lazarus and his unwillingness to share. Saint John Chrysostom explored this theme of wealth and poverty with unrivaled insight and depth in his famous series of homilies on this parable—a collection of homilies that now exists in English and which every member of the Church should read. Saint John would always challenge the conventional wisdom of his age by interpreting the Scriptures in such a way that would turn our accepted values upside down so that we would be able to look at things in a new and startling light. In a famous passage from his homilies, he challenges our conventional notions of what true wealth and true poverty actually are. He does this by asking precisely who is the real rich man and who is the real poor man: "Let us learn from this man not to call the rich lucky nor the poor unfortunate. Rather, if we are to tell the truth, the rich man is not the one who has collected many possessions, but the one who needs few possessions; and the poor man is not the one who has no possessions, but the one who has many desires. We ought to consider this the definition of poverty and wealth. So if you see someone greedy for many things, you should consider him the poorest of all, even if he has acquired everyone's money. If, on the other hand, you see someone with few needs, you should count him the richest of all, even if he has acquired nothing."
I rather doubt that this will change the minds of very many of us about the true nature of wealth and poverty. Conventional wisdom—combined with observation and life experience—does tell us that wealth has to do with money, possessions, status and power, and that poverty has to do with lacking any and all of these things. Many of us "deep down" crave to be wealthy, and we certainly fear the specter of poverty. Yet, Saint John was neither a simpleton nor a naïve dreamer. He knew of the corrosive effect on the wealthy of a life primarily dedicated to more and more acquisition and how this becomes obsessive and compulsive. And he knew many Christians personally who sought a life of simplicity, and through that pursuit discovered a different type of wealth that had the presence of God as its source. Saint John was also aware of the judgment of God that differs radically from our own limited understanding of the "bigger picture."
Many people are forced to struggle to makes ends meet - and perhaps dream of hitting the lottery—and can only watch with envy the lifestyles of "the rich and famous" that elicit such dreams. Perhaps, then, Saint John makes some sense about the obsessive "collection of many possessions," the fulfillment of "many desires," and the effect of being "greedy for many things," and how a "successful" pursuit of this captivating dream can be more impoverishing than enriching. And then Saint John got the point of the parable: in some cases it can be too late to change!

North Texas coach Dan McCarney on stroke: 'My left side went numb'
Take it from Dan McCarney —something bad, something like a stroke — can happen even when you're in tip-top physical condition.
"But tell everyone back there that I'm doing fine," McCarney said Tuesday from his bed in a Denton, Texas hospital. "I've got too much Irish in me to stay down very long."
McCarney, 58, confirmed that he suffered a stroke Sunday morning, shortly after his daily workout.
"I was just sitting down to eat a sandwich when my left side went numb," said McCarney, the North Texas football coach who coached at Iowa State 12 seasons. "Talk about a scary feeling."
McCarney was rushed to the hospital in a helicopter, where a stroke was detected.
"Something happened on the left side in the back of my brain," said McCarney, a former Iowa player and assistant coach. "My left side — all of a sudden everything went numb."
He underwent tests Monday and was undergoing tests Tuesday morning.
"The doctors — and they've been fantastic — say I'm fine," McCarney said. "They're expecting a full recovery — no permanent damage."
Spring practice?
"Looks good," McCarney said. "I'm supposed to get out of the hospital in a couple days. I feel good right now. I've got a little tingling feeling, but hey, if that's the worst of it, then I'd say I'm a pretty lucky guy.
McCarney, an Iowa City native, coached Iowa State from 1995 to 2006, and then became defensive line coach for two seasons at South Florida before becoming defensive line coach at Florida for two seasons.
How good was he feeling Tuesday?
"Nothing wrong with me that a little Grey Goose won't cure," McCarney cracked.

Apparently, Vagina Weightlifting Is a Thing and It's Good For You — Maybe [VIDEO]
There have been tons of feminine health fads to come and go over the years, but this may be the strangest one ever! Sex Coach Kim Anami suggest that the only way women can truly be the best they can be is by strengthening their vaginas. And how does one strengthen their vagina? Vagina weightlifting, of course!
In her video '10 Reasons To Lift Weights With Your Vagina,' Anami says, "Think of it like your bicep, You don't work out your arms just by flexing your muscles; you need weights. The vagina works the same way, it needs weight to create resistance in order to build strength."
According to Kim, it'll improve your orgasms, libido and just make you feel better all the way around.
Now, you may be asking yourself: 'Is there any actual know health benefits to this?' The truth is, I don't know. The experts are staying pretty tight-lipped. But to all the naysayers who doubt the power and legitimacy of vagina weightlifting, I've seen the footage and that is one clean snatch!

This dress will be my wedding dress . It will be perfect for the occasion and I can't wait to wear it. It fits perfectly and is exactly what I expected. Thank you so much. I'll wear shoes also purchased from jjshouse.

I just finished placing my first order. When I went online again I noticed a popup ad from JJ's House with the item I just ordered so I naturally clicked on it - ONLY TO FIND the price was now $13 lower than the hour before when I placed my order.
I went to my account to check on the status and they had already lowered my credit card payment by the $13 difference.
I sure hope I am as happy with the dress as I am with their accounting!!!!!

I bought 2 of this dress for my adult bridesmaids and they arrived very quickly (shipped to the UK and arrived within the week) and looked exactly like the picture. Can't wait for my big day now :) Thank you JJSHouse! x

2013-10-15 02:29:50
In fact,i was at a loss when i decided to buy a dress online for there are so many dresses in so many online shops. What i cared most was the reliability of the online stores. When i saw this dress, i fell in love with it immediately. And i got comforted enough to place an order as i knew that many customers had had good shopping experiences before me. I want to say,from the bottom of heart, this dress is perfect!
2013-09-03 17:19:35
From the first inquiry to the dresses arriving, JJ'shouse has provided an extremely high level of customer service. When the dresses arrive only 8 days after placing a large order, words can't explain how excited I was when I opened the box. They were simply amazing! The high quality of fabric and attention to detail in each garment was something the seamstress should be commended for. The dresses were exactly as pictured and the colour was prettier than I hoped for.
With only 4 weeks to our big day, these dresses will certainly be the highlight. I can't recommend this dress or the company enough and I will certainly be ordering more dresses in the future.
Thank You xx
2013-07-08 04:59:24
Dress is beautiful. Size was exactly as ordered & colour what i asked for. It arrived quicker than expected & i could track the dress when it left until it arrived on my doorstep. Would use JJ's house again in the future.

Платье такое красивое и отличное качество. Честно говоря что это первый раз купить онлайн и сначала я очень волновалась потому что я не знаю что то делать если оно мне не подходит. Но я очень рада что когда я его получила, оно мне очень нравится. Я ваши платья очень люблю!

Battery Bugs, new monitoring tech?
Lest you think I'm just about big diesels, check out the good Annie G.'s auxiliary propulsion power system. Years ago I bought the cheapest Minnkoda electric trolling motor I could find (visible on Annie here) and moved the control switch to that battery box where the 'custom' wooden shift/throttle gives me five speeds in forward and three in reverse. None exactly makes the 18' iron-keeled sloop jump, but the rig is handy for getting into the Camden Inner Harbor slip I often use. But I always had a problem knowing if I had enough charge to use the motor as needed. That was neatly solved last summer with the addition of that solar panel and most especially the Argus Analyzer Battery Bug...Argus makes DCM model Battery Bugs for applications like Annie G, and STM models for batteries used mainly to start engines, and they claim to use innovative testing technologies in both cases. The test for deep cycle use is called Large Pulse Resistance, which an Argus representative told me is similar to load testing the battery every minute (and keeping a history of same), while "Crank-Check captures the voltage profile of the battery during the starting sequence." I don't know enough about such matters to opine on how these truly compare to other battery monitors out there, but my knowledge of, and confidence in, little Gizmo's starting battery and Annie G's solar system was vastly improved by them last season. And both Battery Bugs held up well to my abuse. But they don't make much sense on a bigger boat like the new Gizmo -- which has, God help me, four battery banks all tucked into the inhospital engine space -- because they'd be hard to look at, and I'd never hear the alarms. But I do wonder if the testing technology might become a networkable sensor, and said as much to Argus. Over in the forums, our guy Russ is not happy with his bigger boat battery monitoring, and I'm wondering if any of you are?

Win a Trip to See Kenny Chesney Play During the Dallas Cowboys Halftime Show on Thanksgiving
Kenny Chesney just announced he'll be in Dallas, Texas on Thanksgiving, playing the halftime show during the nationally televised game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Redskins. The Turkey Day tradition could include you, at Cowboys Stadium… even walking the sidelines.
Taste of Country Nights and Columbia Nashville are giving away a trip for two to Dallas to see the 'El Cerrito Place' singer on Nov. 22. Included is airfare, two nights lodging, tickets to the football game and sideline access. It's an enormous prize, one that pretty much only one man in country music could offer.
To win, listen to Taste of Country Nights radio beginning tonight (Nov. 1) for host Jeremy to tell you when to text to enter. Be the correct number texter, and you'll qualify for for the grand prize: a trip to see Chesney sing during the halftime show at the huge Thanksgiving day game in Dallas. One of five qualifiers will be drawn as the grand prize winner after Nov. 7, when the contest closes.
When you hear the cue, text the word "Jeremy" to 68683. Taste of Country Nights can be heard on Lonestar 102.3, and online right here on the station website.
Be sure to vote for Chesney's new song 'El Cerrito Place' on the Taste of Country Nights Top 5 as well. The Top 20 song from 'Welcome to the Fishbowl' is one of the most poignant of the singer's career. It's been a fan favorite since the album was released in June.
Keep listening, and good luck! Thanks to the Dallas Cowboys and the Salvation Army for their work in making this contest possible. Visit the Cowboys' official Facebook page here.

Agent Ribbons, 'Family Haircut' – Free MP3 Download
To give you a sense of what the Austin-by-way-of-Sacramento duo Agent Ribbons are all about, they say they're not just a band, but rather "a tree house club of post-feminist dreamers trying to find their place in the scheme of things, like a hand-sewn and lovingly-crafted garment in a modern, disposable world."
Imbued with a '90s post-garage-pop sensibility, Agent Ribbons make fun, slightly aggressive pop along the lines of '90s gem Cub, except way more sophisticated and with more nuanced arrangements. It's an instantly pleasing combination.
About the single 'Family Haircut,' from their new 'Let Them Talk' EP, Natalie Ribbons tells Diffuser.fm, "'Family Haircut' is a nocturnal flying-bicycle ride with school girls setting lyrics to Pachelbel Canon in D in the style of the first Shins record."

Sealants and Fillings on Baby Teeth
I took my 7yr old son to a new dentist today. While I could see that my child has a few cavities,they look pretty small. This dentist says they all need pulpotomys and stainless crowns! 5 of them! Refuses to fill them;even the smallest. I asked about sealants for other baby teeth and this dentist says he doesn`t ever recommend them. Says they don`t even last any more than 2weeks to 2months. So refuses to put on any sealants unless the tooth is permanent. I guess my question is, does this seem like the typical view of most dentists for a child his age or should I consider looking for a new dentist?
First, occlusal sealants are not used as a restorative material. They are used as a protective material on permanent molar teeth to help prevent tooth decay. If placed with good technique, they can last indefinitely. I would have to see the teeth in question and x-rays of the teeth in order to comment on the need for pulpotomys and stainless steel crowns. Based on the information you have supplied, I would suggest getting a second opinion before proceeding with treatment for your son.

Alliance Activities : Publications : Proximity Mobile Payments Business Scenarios: Research Report on Stakeholder Perspectives
Proximity Mobile Payments Business Scenarios: Research Report on Stakeholder Perspectives
The smart card industry and media alike continue to focus on mobile payments, regularly reporting on interest being shown in the new payment method. The purpose of this new research report is to look at the journey towards proximity mobile payments by examining the progress that is being made to define a sustainable business model. While the logic behind proximity mobile payments is generally accepted, precisely when they will become widely available and how the industry will get there are still being debated. The convergence of mobile and payment is extremely complex, requiring the cooperation of many players and stakeholders.
As a result, the mobile payments landscape continues to evolve with various business models emerging worldwide. The Payments Council has considered four different business models for mobile payments deployment and surveyed key industry stakeholders on critical questions pertaining to the success of each model. The purpose of the survey was to develop a point of view on the emerging business models for the North American market. Expert opinion and even speculation were sought on the following topics:
- Likely business models
- Global examples where these business models have been implemented
- Relative business model advantages
- Relationships among ecosystem stakeholders for each model
- Benefits and business case drivers for each stakeholder
- Emerging "killer app" capabilities
Alternative Business Models Considered
The survey was conducted by members of the Smart Card Alliance Payments Council Mobile Payments Work Group, by either in-person or telephone interviews during December 2007 and January 2008.
The four potential mobile payments business model scenarios discussed with interviewees were as follows:
- Operator-Centric Model: The mobile operator acts independently to deploy mobile payment applications to NFC-enabled mobile devices. The applications may support a prepaid stored value model or the charges may be integrated into the customer's wireless bill.
- Bank-Centric Model: A bank deploys mobile payment applications or devices to customers and ensures merchants have the required point-of-sale (POS) acceptance capability. Payments are processed over the existing financial networks with credits and debits to the appropriate accounts.
- Peer-to-Peer Model: An independent peer-to-peer service provider provides secure mobile payments between customers or between customers and merchants.
- Collaboration Model: This model involves collaboration among banks, mobile operators and other stakeholders in the mobile payments value chain, including a potential trusted third party that manages the deployment of mobile applications. Payments in this model are processed over the existing financial networks with credits and debits to the appropriate accounts.
For each business model, the industry experts that were interviewed were asked to comment on the following topics:
- What are the pros and cons of each model?
- What are the incremental benefits and business case drivers for each stakeholder?
- What is the reasonable split of the potential revenues to stakeholders?
- Are there other potential sources of revenue?
- Which stakeholder owns financial liability, risk, security and privacy?
- Are they aware of real-world commercial-scale implementations?
Interviewees were also asked to comment on the following topics:
- Which model holds the greatest potential for success?
- Are there other potential models or stakeholders that should be considered?
- What emerging capabilities will be "killer apps?"
- Which will reign supreme–remote mobile payments or proximity mobile payments?
Survey Participants
Stakeholder views were sought from financial institutions, mobile operators, merchants, potential trusted service managers, service providers and non-traditional players. Conclusions were drawn on points of agreement, points of disagreement and surprising findings, including any notable quotes.
The objective was to find 20 willing participants from key organizations in the mobile payments arena. The Work Group successfully conducted 21 interviews from the five stakeholder 'camps.'
Survey Findings
The consensus of 86% of the industry stakeholders interviewed was that NFC-based proximity mobile payments will be adopted, and that the business model will require collaboration among banks, mobile operators, merchants, handset manufacturers and other service providers. Although the Collaboration Model appears most feasible, rapid adoption is hindered by the number of players.
Although the industry appears poised to deploy mobile payments, it is a classic case of strategic deadlock in which stakeholders are waiting for someone else to make the first move. A bold move is needed by a player in the role of trusted service manager to orchestrate the activities of collaborators and competitors.
The activities that require orchestration include final selection of handset and chip standards, merchant enablement, standards for certifying and deploying secure payment applications, and, finally and most controversially, development of a model for revenue-sharing arrangements among stakeholders.
The report includes detailed results describing the survey respondents' perspectives on the pros and cons of each model and on their opinions of potential new sources of revenue from advertising, loyalty and rewards, co-branding arrangements, and customer fees for new services.
About the Smart Card Alliance Payments Council
The Payments Council is one of several Smart Card Alliance technology and industry councils. The Payments Council was formed to focus on facilitating the adoption of chip-enabled payments and payment applications in the U.S. through education programs for consumers, merchants, issuers, acquirers/processors, government regulators, mobile telecommunications providers and payments service providers. The group is bringing together payments industry stakeholders, including payments industry leaders, merchants and suppliers, and is working on projects related to implementing EMV, contactless payments, NFC-enabled payments and applications, mobile payments, and chip-enabled e-commerce. The Council's primary goal is to inform and educate the market about the value of chip-enabled payments in improving the security of the payments infrastructure and in enhancing the value of payments and payment-related applications for industry stakeholders. Council participation is open to any Smart Card Alliance member who wishes to contribute to the Council projects.

Bargains in the Energy Patch
The market started the trading week Monday with 300-point intraday reversal spurred by the dysfunctional election results in Italy, which is the third-largest economy in Europe as well as the third-largest debtor nation in the world. The U.S. stock market suffered its largest decline since right after our election in November. I believe this is more confirmation that the market is in a fragile state. I continue to expect an overall 5% to 8% pullback in the markets, but not a major correction. In Monday's column, I outlined three blue-chip positions I plan to add to if that projected selloff indeed comes to fruition.
Today, let's look at a couple of smaller firms I own in the oil & gas sector that I will also add to if equities continue to decline. The sector is one of the few unequivocal success stories of the past five years on the back of an impressive and continuing domestic energy production boom. This expansion is still in its early innings, so there is a lot growth in front of the individual companies in the industry. Here are a couple of picks from the fast-growing energy patch that should continue to expand regardless what the overall market does. Both are cheap compared to their growth prospects and I could see either one eventually being an acquisition target if M&A activity remains robust....244 more words left in this article.

2nd escapee in two months caught
The look of disappointment was all over William Bivins face.{}
Our cameras were first there when authorities caught him on back county road around noon.{} It was less than 24-hours after Bivins escaped from the STATE CATTLE RANCH.
It was relief to people in the area.{} "It concerns me -- if someone real dangerous escaped and came to put the family in Jeopardy, " says Andre Byrd.{}
Byrd has lived nearby for eight years.{} In that time, he says there have been a number of escapes from the minimum security facility.
"No one comes and inform us about it, that could be a problem because he could be right in the bushes somewhere and no one knew. They could at least come tell the people in this area."
The warden noticed Bivins missing during an afternoon roll call-Sunday.{} He's serving a 33-year sentence for robbery.
But, a convicted murderer, Timothy Richards left the Cattle Ranch in April.{} He was later captured in Ohio.
We asked, Brian Corbett with the State Department of Corrections about the back-to-back escapes.{} "We're always examining ways to increase security and see what we need to do differently as a means of our risk management -- doing our jobs. The cattle ranch is a minimum risk facility," explained Corbett.
That means some of the inmates here can even work at agencies off site.{} They're first assigned to the cattle ranch after passing a risk management assessment.
"Its examining an inmates custody level...if the inmate has spent more than 10 years in prison...to where he can be considered for a minimum outing."
While they're officers at the cattle ranch, Byrd believes too much freedom is the problem.
"I feel like if it happened two times in the last two months -- its probably going to keep happening. They feel like its too easy for us to get away," said Andre Byrd.

The Battlefield 4 Join Squad Beta is now available on PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360, EA and DICE have announced.
Squad Join Beta allows players to set up a squad for up to five people before joining a multiplayer server. This allows you and four friends to deploy directly in the game together. Once in-game, you and your squad mates are guaranteed to stick together over rounds.
The tool is currently in its first iteration, so you can expect further functionality to be made based on player feedback. The next version of Join Squad is planned for when Battlefield 4 Dragon's Teeth arrives this summer.
