Friends have been asking me, usually prefaced with "I'm not typically prone to conspiracy theory," about the difficulty of stealing and hiding a Boeing 777. I'm hoping this is because of my experience as an airline pilot and not because they think that I am an expert on stealing and hiding things…
Anyway, one question that they seem to have is how big an airport one needs for such an airplane. If you want to land in bad weather, with lots of safety margin, and have a nice terminal for passengers, the number of places where a B777 could be landed is pretty small. FAR 121.195 requires that a turbojet be able to land in 60 percent of the available runway. You need to assume that the thrust reversers have failed and the plane can be stopped only with brakes (plus spoilers that pop out of the wings, typically, to destroy lift and make the brakes more effective). Pilots don't even try to land on the first 1000′, since a wind variation or pilot error might result in landing a bit short. Thus if one is going to land and roll 5000′ one needs a 10,000′ runway to be legal. (See this posting about my LaGuardia landing for why this FAA rule is prudent.) For departure you need to be able to accelerate to about 180 mph, lose an engine, think for one second, hit the brakes, and stop without running off the runway (or a special overrun area beyond). Alternatively you must be able to accelerate to about 180 mph, lose an engine (i.e., half of your power), and continue the takeoff with that one engine, clearing whatever obstacles are beyond the runway.
What if you are willing to assume that you'll make a reasonably competent landing and that the thrust reversers will function normally? Certainly a B777 could be landed in 5000′ of runway (less than one mile). See this article on how a Boeing 747 was landed at a ridiculously small airport in South Africa. The calculated landing roll, without reverse thrust, was 3000′ (the article says "landing distance" so this might actually be 1000′ of flying and then 2000′ of rolling). An Air Canada crew managed land a Boeing 767 at an abandoned airport that originally had a 6800′ runway (Wikipedia) despite a lack of engine power that limited their use of flight controls and therefore necessitated a higher-than-normal approach speed.
Could you take off again from a short runway? Sure. In this test flight, a journalist reports lifting off in a 777 about 3300′ down the runway. A Southwest Airlines B737 joined the Cessna crowd at an airport with a 3700′ runway and took off again without incident (story).
I don't have any special knowledge about Malaysia 370, but it would definitely be possible to land such a plane at an out-of-the-way or decommissioned airport, refuel it, and take off again.
What could a person do with a stolen Boeing 777? The parts don't have as much commercial value as one might think, due to the fact that operators in most countries need to comply with a lot of regulations regarding the serial numbers and provenance of all of the parts that are placed onto a certified aircraft, particularly one of "transport class." Countries that the U.S. government doesn't like, such as Iran, have trouble operating Boeing airplanes because we make it tough for them to get spare parts (see Wikipedia story on Iran Air).
Those are the answers that I've given to friends. I'm about as confused by the situation as anyone else, however. Certainly my personal hope is that the plane is parked under a tarp somewhere and the passengers will eventually return home.

A dog is one of the remaining reasons why some people can be persuaded to go for a walk. ~O.A. Battista
I really don't know how I came up with this today. My day was crazed. Stress, deadlines, stuff going on. I had no "first" planned for the day.
All I could think of was "walk backwards". No even better, "walk backwards with the dog". Yes.
Why? Not sure. I can tell you I got some strange looks. My dog? She kept looking up at me like she was saying "seriously? " (Of course Angel walked forward.)
So I quickly realized walking backwards feels like you are using different leg muscles. Or maybe it's the same muscles working differently.
Funny, my neighbor, Paul, who is now used to me doing some kooky things saw me and said "huh. Walking backwards for your first I see." Yep. "okay , good," he said.
You know, I was concentrating so hard on not tripping I realized I completely forgot about all the issues rummaging around in my head. I was just thinking about putting one foot in back of the other.
It made me realize, if you're trying to work out a problem, maybe you just have to mentally walk around the block backwards. It is definitely a different view.

Name: Caroline Kok
University: University of Sheffield
Degree: Computer Science
Event attended: IT's not just for the boys! 2012
I applied to the event because I was not sure if I wanted to continue in the IT industry. There was not a lot of diversity on my course and I could not see myself working in an IT crowd-esque office. I was really surprised when an email got sent round the computer science department advertising the IT's not just for the boys! event, immediately my interest was peaked.
After enjoying a pleasant morning in London (why not!), I arrived at the event. I had never seen so many girls (or women, whichever one you prefer) interested in IT in one place before, it was definitely an enlightening experience! I met so many nice people there, some of whom became my colleagues at ThoughtWorks.
I thought the event had a really good selection of speakers, and it was good to see the diversity of the careers you can get into within IT, some that I had not really considered.
After the panel was over it was time for the networking. I thought this was the most important part.There were so many interesting people to speak
with, both employers and fellow students.
It was there that I met my current employer. ThoughtWorks offered me an internship in their London office. I would definitely recommend doing an internship! In fact, I wish I had gone to the event in my penultimate year, rather than in my final year. I think experiencing what it's really like working for an IT company is invaluable.
With the experience I have got now, I know that I want to be a programmer. I cannot see myself in a non-technical role. Back then I wasn't so sure, in fact I did not think much of myself as a programmer! It took the internship to relieve me of that conviction.
I have been working as a Software Developer for ThoughtWorks for 2,5 years. I can genuinely say that it is a very fun and rewarding job. I am on my third project currently, I love getting stuck into new problems and learning new technologies. IT is definitely the place to be if that is your kind of thing!

December International Arrivals Down Seven Percent When Compared to December 2007
The U.S. Department of Commerce announced that a record 58 million international visitors traveled to the United States during 2008, an increase of nearly four percent over 2007. Thirteen of the top 25 arrivals markets broke records set in previous years. In December 2008, the total monthly visitation reached 3.9 million, down seven percent when compared to December 2007. Fourth quarter total arrivals declined six percent.
Arrivals to the United States in 2008 reflected a shift between the first nine months of the year and the fourth quarter. For the first nine months, 17 of the top 20 arrivals markets posted increases in arrivals. Canada was growing at a double-digit rate, but Mexican arrivals were in decline. Overseas arrivals (all countries except Canada and Mexico) were up nine percent through the first nine months of 2008, and only two world regions posted declines through September 2008.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, however, a shift took place in arrivals to the United States. During the last quarter of the year, only 12 of the top 20 countries posted growth. Both Canada and Mexico posted declines in arrivals and all overseas markets declined by almost three percent. Of the nine world regions tracked each month, five posted declines in arrivals.
With this shift among some of the top U.S. markets, OTTI would like to encourage the industry to watch the developments for U.S. arrivals by returning to the monthly arrivals page on OTTI's website at: https://travel.trade.gov/research/monthly/arrivals/index.html
A few other tools to assist the industry understand the changes in 2009 include:
The monthly arrivals data, the Barometer program, and forecast data for top markets should provide the industry with sufficient information to track and analyze shifts in U.S. arrivals.
HIGHLIGHTS: 2008 International Arrivals1 to the United States
Overall, for the first nine months of 2008, 40 of the top 50 countries posted increases in arrivals, 23 of these countries were growing at a double-digit growth rate when compared to the first nine months of 2007. Then, during the fourth quarter 2008, growth in arrivals to the United States was only registered by 27 of the top 50 arrivals markets and only 11 countries posted double-digit growth in the fourth quarter. This means that for 2008, 37 of the top 50 arrivals markets posted growth rates when compared to 2007, and 20 of these countries ended the year with double-digit growth when compared to annual 2007 arrivals.
To access the 2008 annual and monthly arrivals data for world regions and top markets, visit http://tinet.ita.doc.gov/view/m-2008-I-001/index.html
TOP PORTS: Year-to-Date December 2008
In 2008, overseas arrivals (excluding Canada and Mexico) were up six percent. Arrivals through the top 15 ports of entry accounted for 84 percent of all overseas arrivals, nearly one percent higher than last year.
Thirteen of the top fifteen ports posted increases in arrivals in 2008. Arrivals increased by double digits through six of the ports. Arrivals through San Francisco and Chicago increased eight percent and four percent, respectively, moving them into fifth and sixth positions ahead of Honolulu, which experienced a 10 percent decline in arrivals. Atlanta, increasing 13 percent, moved into eighth place, just ahead of Agana, Guam. Houston, increasing 11 percent, moved into 12th place, ahead of Boston and Detroit. Arrivals through Philadelphia grew 26 percent as it climbed into the 15th spot; registering the largest growth among the top 15 ports of entry.
To access top port activity, go to the OTTI monthly arrivals page above and scroll down the page until you see the yellow title bar entitled: 2008 Monthly Top Airports for Overseas Non-Resident Arrivals. Click on the Excel file to view the monthly port figures.
Arrivals to the United States by port-of-entry are tracked on a monthly basis. The U.S. Department of Commerce has arrival data on more than 40 U.S. ports-of-entry from all world regions and 30 countries, with a brief analysis presented on the top 15 ports for overseas arrivals during 2008.
The monthly Summary of International Travel to the U.S. report has approximately 30 tables that provide data on monthly and year-to-date arrivals to the United States. The report provides data on approximately 90 countries each month and more than 40 ports of entry. Numerous breakouts are provided by world region and country for the port tables as well.

1 The U.S. Department of Commerce complies with the UN World Tourism Organization (WTO) standard definition and class of international travelers when reporting monthly and annual arrivals data. This standard excludes all day-trippers from any of the counts/estimates, including those from Canada and Mexico. Also, OTTI has included non-immigrant visa type 'E' treaty traders or investors and 'I' representatives of foreign information media into the counts to more accurately reflect business visitation.

Knowing God, Growing in Christ, Showing Christ to Others
Bethania is an evangelical church community in the village of Leeswood in north east Wales.
The name of our church comes from the village of Bethania in Israel – a place Jesus often stayed. In Hebrew, the name means 'house of the poor'.
That's appropriate for us. By global economic standards we are well off. But Jesus spoke of people being poor on many different levels, spiritually as well as as economically. We need to learn to become rich in the things Jesus valued: forgiveness, compassion, justice and the love of God.
He said:
"Blessed are you who are poor for yours is the Kingdom of God" (Luke 6:20)
Here in Bethania Leeswood, we are seeking to be a community centred on Jesus and the things that make us truly rich.

The iPhone 5S releases on September 20th and the first thing on the minds of several users (of iPhone 5) is this: can I trade my iPhone 5 for an iPhone 5S?
Upgrading to the latest iPhone when you are in a contract has never been an easy task unless your contract is expiring right on time. Well, the service providers will disagree with that but we all know how complicated it can get.
But as CBSNews puts it, you can actually trade-in your iPhone 5 (if it's unlocked, the better) for a new iPhone 5S. Off-the-contract iPhone 5 will be an easier thing to deal with while turning-in your old iPhone 5 can prove to be costly and a little tedious what with all the formalities and rules of the carrier to deal with.
Can I Trade My iPhone 5 for iPhone 5S? [And Save More Money]
Max-value: $300+
Where: Apple Store, Carriers, WalMart, Amazon, Best Buy.
Turning in your iPhone 5 to your carrier will fetch you anywhere from $250 to nothing depending on what time of the contract you are in. This depends and varies according to carriers and retailers.
Apple's own recycling program is a great place to look. An iPhone 5 can fetch as much as $300 but one has to note that Apple is dropping iPhone 5 line which could affect the price.
Selling it Elsewhere
Max-value: $400+
Where: Flipsy, EcycleBest, Craigslist
If you own an unlocked iPhone 5, you are probably free to sell it anywhere and get the best price. While the fact that Apple's making iPhone 5 obsolete might reduce the value of the device.
Tt should be countered by the number of people waiting to get their hands on an iPhone 5. The iPhone 5C, even though as good as iPhone 5, will never be sold for $300 or so till at least 2-3 months after its release.
We have our own favorite spots where you can sell your iPhone 5:
- Flipsy
- SellCell.com
- The ever-present Craigslist
Depending on your negotiation and the condition of your iPhone 5, you might score as much as $400 for your device. You'll still be short by about $250.
Unlock and Sell
Max-value: $400-500
Where: Same as above
You can obviously unlock your iPhone 5 even if it's under-contract (unless it's not bought after January 2013).
We can't point you to unlock methods but you know Google and you know YouTube and that's the key to finding out how to unlock your iPhone 5. We're not fans of the Library of Congress ruling on unlocking either.
You can sell your iPhone 5 in the sources mentioned above. It can fetch you up to $400-$500 depending on the condition of the iPhone 5.

Nov. 28, 2012
GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP, ACSMA) – Florida State defensive end Bjoern Werner, a 6-4, 255-pound defensive end from Berlin, Germany, whose 13 sacks lead the ACC, and 1.08 sacks per game are third-best nationally, is the ACC's Defensive Player of the Year in the conference for 2012 in balloting by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association.
Werner, who as an exchange student played only two years of US high school football, was named on 27 of 46 ballots. Fellow Seminoles' defensive end Cornellius Carradine finished second in the balloting with nine votes, while Maryland tackle Joe Vellano and Boston College linebacker Nick Clancy each had three, and Florida State cornerback Xavier Rhodes had two. Seminoles' safety Lamarcus Joyner and Duke cornerback Russ Cockrell each had one.
Werner was named ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week, the first and last weeks of the regular season. In the Seminoles' final game of the regular season, Werner matched his career high with 3.5 sacks and recovered a fumble. He is the ACC's career active leader in sacks with 23.5 and is one of five finalists for the Bronco Nagurski Trophy, announced last week by the Football Writers Association of America and the Charlotte Touchdown Club. He is the sixth Seminole to win the ACC's Defensive Player of the Year award (Derrick Brooks – 1993, Derrick Alexander – 1994, Peter Boulware – 1996, Andre Wadsworth – 1997, Darnell Docket – 2003)
Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher said, "There is not a more well-deserving award than this one for Bjoern, who's had an unbelievable year for us and his statistics prove it…but his worth goes well beyond his statistics."
"The value he has to his team…the effect he has on his teammates, off the field and in the classroom and as a team leader is tremendous, and the things he's sacrificed to give up for other guys to make plays on our defense. He's a tremendous team player, he's a tremendous leader and he's a tremendous winner and I think he'll go down as one of the great football players in Florida State football history. He has had a tremendous year this year and I can't be happier for him," Fisher said.

Star Wars. Dr Who. Lord of the Rings. When Harry Met Sally. These are some of the movies/shows quoted in the awesome wedding of Ryan and Sara. The quotes were mixed into the ceremony and made for some great laughs between the tears as they exchanged vows surrounded by friends and family. The reception was one of the most well decorated ones I've seen. Every single center piece was different, and so well thought out.
The wedding and reception were at the West End Theater, a really great venue with ballrooms for both the ceremony and reception. After the 'first look' we ventured out into the streets of Portland, ending up at Case Study Coffee, a special place for these two! Case Study actually provided a coffee bar at the reception! I'll let the photos do the talking!

Business-to-Business Buying Behavior
I am the sales manager for a hair and facial cosmetics distributor in the Midwest and have a staff of 120 sales representatives calling on literally thousands of hairstyle retail shops. The former sales manager had segmented the sales territory into two six-state geographical regions as follows:
Region one: North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, and Iowa
Region two: Missouri, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio
While the brands that your company represents are competitive, a two-year downward trend in revenues in your second region has you concerned. By his own admission, the former manager never took the time to study the buying decision-making behavior of clients. Knowing that my job may be on the line, I am determined to identify the factors that influence the purchase of our products at the retail level.
On the basis of the given scenario, I need help in order to answer the following questions in a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document:
What types of problems do I think I need to resolve?
What are the typical purchase criteria and specifications of my average client?
What is the nature of the organizational influences on the buying decision?
What is the typical relationship between my sales representatives and the retail shop business managers?
On a separate page, I need help with citing any sources using the APA format

Business-To-Business Buying Behavior
A buyer's decision making behavior is grouped within a five stage decision making process including the Need recognition and problem awareness, information research, alternatives evaluation, purchasing, and post purchasing evaluation. For any customer making a marketing decision, he or she has to adhere to the above stages so as to make a purchasing decision of the product available in the market. It is not necessary that all stages have to be followed while making a purchase decision. During one or two incidences, an individual may skip a stage or two.
The need recognition is the first stage of the buyer process whereby the buyer acknowledges the need of purchasing a good hence responds to the market stimulus. A customer with an interest has to first decide on any ...

This is my last post reflecting on our past three years in Crown Point, Indiana. You can see an overview of the whole series in my previous post, Polygamy, making disciples and church planting.
The last question is What Next? Could missional communities as a "ministry vehicle" still have a place in NWI?
I'm convinced that smaller, simpler, more relational expressions of church are needed long-term to disciple the next generations. While the larger expressions of church have a much needed place in our area, it's effectiveness will wind down like a mechanical clock. Tremors are already happening. Many younger people are disconnecting from church and honestly, many younger folks in church don't have a Christian worldview or practice. The larger form of church does a great job gathering, but it doesn't disciple well. It can't. Disciple-making is life-on-life at its core and there are few leaders freed up to disciple others.
Right now, though, most people in the Region – Christians and not – can't imagine an expression of church outside of the large gathering. So what to do?
I believe another attempt at missional communities in our area will need to be some kind of larger gathering – small expression hybrid. I propose several scenarios.
First scenario: Locally from within a mega-church
Our region "just got mega-church" 10-15 years ago. This is where I'd expect new, fresh ministry in our area. They went through great pains to convince the church to "go relevant and contemporary." There are still scars and perhaps open wounds from those days. I wonder if the freshness of the battle might be the very thing that gets in the way to seeing the cultural shifts and the discipling vacuum. But many of the innovators and forward thinkers are part of these churches, so I'd expect that there will be more and more folks wanting to try simpler expressions of the church from within the larger churches. I see it right now in younger, middle-level paid leaders. It will only be time before it trickles down to lay leaders.
It will take a brave senior pastor/leader to actively support this movement. They will need to relationally and spiritually support budding leaders and be willing to let them try and fail. That leader will need to be more interested in trying new things and learning from mistakes than bottom lines. In fact, I would expect that more relational, disciple-making, missional movements would not help the bottom line of giving, attendance, and volunteers for the weekend gatherings at least for a time. BUT they will see fruit in new ways that will give life to the whole.
A few younger leaders (2-3 families or singles) need to be released to work together at building a first missional community around a specific neighborhood or network of people. They need accountability metrics, but in new ways. They need freedom to not be at all the meetings and worship gatherings of the larger church, but still connect in meaningful ways with the larger community.
What larger churches should NOT do is to start a new program called "missional communities." Programming change is the default. But something like this needs to start small on the side. The best case scenario is that the senior leader is actively involved in the "side thing."
A church should also NOT try this without the active support of the senior leader. Passivity might as well be antagonism. The core philosophy is too different between the two expressions of church. The senior leader would need to be a champion if not actively involved in starting it.
Second Scenario : As a "site" of a multi-siting church or a focused outreach community of a smaller church
A missional community might work really well if a church wants to reach a new neighborhood or network of people, but doesn't have enough people to start a new site/plant/campus there. A missional community (/ies) could form around that place and the community worship with the larger church once a month (or more?), but have its own rhythms for the rest of the month.
This would need much of the same pieces in place as #1 : support and relationship, access to larger gathering resources, freedom to innovate and create their own expression and rhythms, invitation to stay in close relationship without expectations for lots of time spent at the larger worship gatherings.
Third scenario : As a church plant out of an existing church
I think this could work well if a sizable group of people (say 75, two or three missional communities) were sent out from an existing church. Perhaps they already existed as missional communities within an church for some time. They would need to have the capacity to put on a simple larger worship gathering.
This group would still benefit from relationship with the "mother church." The plant might even need help maintaining a simple weekly gathering because life on mission and in relationship are time-consuming.
But they would need some kind of public worship gathering to connect with the NWI culture.
Fourth scenario : As a joining of several independent missional communities / house churches into one network
I thought this might happen to us a few times. We had friendships with several other missional communities or organic "house" churches in the greater NWI area. I could envision three or four of these groups networking together to have a regular larger worship gathering. The gathering could be simple, but enough of a larger group to connect with the need of "Regionites" to have a "regular" gathering. There would need to be at least 75 people at a whole group gathering to make it work.
The independent spirit and fear of becoming a "brick church" would be the main hindrances. But for the sake of reaching our current culture, they could overcome that.
Are there other scenarios that I'm missing? What might they be?
Which scenario do you think might work the best in our current culture in NWI? (…Or in your area if you are from a more "nominal Christian"culture as we are?)

I am currently reading my way through a long list of science fiction and fantasy titles. (http://www.npr.org/2011/08/07/138938145/science-fiction-and-fantasy-finalists if you are interested in the list).
A fun collection of stories for the end of a long week, when you're too tired to tackle serious literature and your attention span is that of a gerbil.
Somehow, the mixture of science fiction and fantasy with the western is a genre mash-up made in heaven. I enjoyed all the stories in the volume, but I had specially chosen it for the Seanan McGuire offering, The Flower of Arizona. McGuire did not disappoint, although I did think that if you were new to the InCryptid world, you might not have the Aeslin mouse knowledge to fully appreciate the story.
Bonus points for the cover art, which would have attracted me without my having any clue what waited inside.

Hello again allmighty internet community: I'm a little bit stuck; I'm writting a program that will convert a number entered as a string into its correpsonding floating point representation. To do this I'm using the atof() function, which as I understan stands for ASCII to float. After watching the variables everything is ok except the converted variable which always gets an annoying 0.000000. Here's the code I've managed to cook so far:
As I was saying power represents the 10^n value according to the decimal position, but for some reason atof(data[i]-'0') isn't working. Any ideas? Thank you.Code:#include<conio.h> #include<stdio.h> #include<string.h> float Convert(char data[128]); void main(void){ char data[128]; float result; clrscr(); gets(data); result=Convert(data); clrscr(); printf("%f",result); getch(); } float Convert(char data[128]){ int i; float max,res,power,value; max=strlen(data); res=0.0; for (i=0;i<max;i++){ power=max-i-1; value=power*atof(data[i]-'0'); res=res+value; } return res; }

Diversity Is Strength: And Balkinazation!
Source: nctimes
There must be a magical stream running through the middle of every institution of higher drinking, and when one partakes of this magical fluid one becomes horribly brain damaged repeating the word "diversity" over and over again like a gibbering loon...
O'Connell also waded into the immigration issue Tuesday [in a talk with the editorial board of the NC Times], saying public schools are required by law to educate any school-aged child in the state, regardless of immigration status.So how does one deal with the realities of "diversity?" Why create mini-balkanized fiefdoms of course!
"Twenty-five years ago there was a federal court decision that said, 'They're here,' " O'Connell said, emphasizing the federal mandates that require the state to provide a free, equal and appropriate public education for all.
Educating every student, regardless of origin, is not only required by law, but it's good for the state, O'Connell said.
"There's a reason we are the sixth- or seventh- largest economy in the world as a state, and that is our diversity," O'Connell said. "I think that's a strength."
One of the best ways to meet the needs of minority students in cities such as Oakland and Los Angeles where "more than 100 languages are spoken" is to hire minority teachers from the same background, O'Connell said.Gosh, wouldn't that be some sort of anti-assimilation?
"If you want to understand the culture, the traditions, the language, the buying characteristics of those countries, hire people from there --- and they're already here," O'Connell said.

One of the tremendously-helpful resource sites I'm currently using is called CaringBridge. CaringBridge is an Internet vehicle for conveying information to loved ones when someone becomes ill. The specific mission of the CaringBridge organization is to provide "free, personalized websites that support and connect loved ones during critical illness, treatment and recovery". CaringBridge is a tremendously helpful and easy way to provide diagnoses and health care progress reports to concerned individuals. I first became aware of CaringBridge when I had the privilege of interviewing young Patrick Ede for the Journeys book. Patrick's parents used CaringBridge to give updates to family and friends about their son's ongoing medical situation. Now I am using it to check on the well-being of two dear friends.
Perhaps we will be so lucky as to never need to think about giving or receiving information via a site such as CaringBridge, but just in case … Melody

Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton received a third injection for a pinched nerve in his back on Friday, and the two-time All-Star won't be available for "at least seven days" according to general manager Jon Daniels.
Hamilton, who missed his seventh consecutive game Friday night against the Seattle Mariners, was in California on Friday for a root-nerve epidural from back specialist Dr. Robert Watkins.
Daniels said he doesn't think Hamilton will be out for the rest of the season.

Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
"The doctor feels he'll be OK in a week or so, but we need to see him on the field before we do any speculating," Daniels said.
Hamilton, hitting .270 with 10 homers and 49 RBIs, has been on the disabled twice this season. Last year he had a breakthrough season, batting .304 with 32 homers and 130 RBIs.
Meanwhile, Rangers All-Star third baseman Michael Young continues his rehab from a strained left hamstring.
Young sat out his eighth straight game. He ran in the outfield and took swings in the batting cage before Friday night's game.
The Rangers hope Young will return, at least as a DH, for next weekend's home series against the Los Angeles Angels.
Daniels said he wouldn't be surprised if Young were back in the lineup before Hamilton.
"(Young) is getting better, but I don't have a definite date," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "Hamstrings are something where you have to wait and see. But he's certainly progressed."

Which Meal Is Healthier?
Test your nutrition know-how
You have diabetes, and your doctor advises you to make healthier food choices. What does that really mean? No cake or cookies ever again? Fill the fridge with yogurt, vegetables and diet soda? Buy nonfat cheese?
Sometimes what we think we know about eating right isn't entirely accurate. And with all the misleading marketing you see at the supermarket, often we may think we're making the right choices only to find that those "healthy" foods we bought are loaded with hidden sugar, salt and calories.
Take the quiz that follows to test your nutrition knowledge, and note the tips listed to help steer you down the right path.
Pick the healthiest choice:
1. A. The whole-wheat waffle, berries and Greek yogurt are the best option. The egg breakfast includes jam (high in added sugar) and bacon (high in saturated fat and sodium). While plain oatmeal is loaded in fiber and can be an excellent choice (and you can add your own fresh fruit for sweetness), watch out for instant flavored oatmeal. You must read the labels on prepackaged, flavored oatmeal to see just what's in it – look out for added sugars and other hidden calories.
2. C. The veggie pita sandwich is the best choice. Salads are excellent, of course, but fat-free salad dressings often replace the fat with sugar and sodium for flavoring. Instead, try making your own dressing with your favorite oil and flavored vinegar. And canned soups are typically loaded with extra salt, so look for those that are labeled as reduced or low sodium.
3. A. The beef Stroganoff dish is the healthiest. Fish sticks are typically breaded, and then fried. Ham steaks can be very high in sodium, and potato salad high in calories from a lot of added fat and sometimes even sugar.
4. C. Baked sweet potato fries are an excellent source of Vitamin A and fiber and full of natural sweetness. Just don't fry them! Baked beans are often loaded with extra sweeteners (and calories), but beans in general are a great choice for a side dish because they contain lots of vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber. While plain baked potatoes are fine, adding butter or sour cream quickly loads them with fat. Try topping them with non-fat sour cream or plain Greek yogurt for a healthier topping.
5. B. Iced tea is a better choice than diet soda because of the acid in diet soda. However, a calorie-free caffeine-free drink — such as water — is the best choice. You can try flavoring your water with fresh lemon, lime or orange slices for natural, fruit flavored water.
6. C. The baked cinnamon stuffed apple makes for a naturally sweet treat, and you get a fruit serving included as a bonus. Sherbet and low-fat ice cream provide little nutritional value.
7. B. Rice cakes topped with nut butter are the best option. Nut butters provide you with healthy fats. Watch your portion sizes by spreading a thin layer on your rice cake. Nonfat cream cheese products provide little nutritional value, but they contain quite a bit of sodium. Cookies — whether they're low-fat or not — usually contain more sugar than their regular counterparts. Make sure to save them for a special, once-in-a-while treat.
Read the label. In most cases, the fat in "fat-free" foods is replaced with sodium, sugar (often corn syrup and high-fructose corn syrup) and carbohydrates, in order to give them flavor. Also, because there is no fat to slow down absorption of the carbohydrate, it gets into your bloodstream faster. Fat-free dairy products, however, typically do not have added ingredients and are, in fact, better for you than full-fat or low-fat dairy products.
Size it up. Portion control is key. If a food is labeled fat-free or sugar-free, you can't eat as much as you want. These products still contain other ingredients and usually calories. Even the healthiest foods can become poor choices if you are eating a portion three sizes too large.
As a general rule, one fruit serving should be the size of a baseball; one meat serving, the size of the palm of a woman's hand; a pasta serving, the size of a cupped palm; and a serving of any kind of spread (e.g., peanut butter) about the size of a walnut shell.
Look at the numbers. One serving size does not fit all. Be sure to read the label to see whether a package is meant to be eaten as a single serving or if it is meant to be several servings. We often assume erroneously that one package of cookies, chips or other snack foods is intended to be eaten in a single sitting.

YSR Congress party spokesperson Gattu Ramachandra Rao on Sunday accused the media of misusing the freedom of expression and publishing false reports against Jagan Mohan Reddy.
Talking to media persons at YSR Congress party office, he said that a section of media has engaged all its energies to tarnish the image of Jagan Mohan Reddy. He alleged that anti-Jagan news reports were part of a conspiracy hatched by Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu. Quoting a media report, he asked the media to disclose the sources who claimed that Jagan would be arrested in March month. He asked whether media got any tip offs from the CBI about Jagan's arrest. Further, he asked the media to explain as to how Jagan would lose people's sympathy after the arrest.
Ramchandra Rao said although the State Budget presented by Finance Minister Anam Ramnarayana Reddy was 'anti-people' and 'anti-welfare,' the media did not carry any critical analysis. Instead, some publications have been carrying 'baseless' reports against Jagan Mohan Reddy to tarnish his image.
The YSR Congress party spokesperson also asked as to why the CBI was not responding to 'speculative' stories being published about its investigation in various cases.
Ramchandra Rao alleged that the TDP chief has launched this campaign using media to divert attention of people from the leaders of his party who were involved in liquor scam and due to by-elections in the Telangana region. He said that the people would lose faith on media if it continues anti-Jagan campaign shunning basic principles. (INN)

Hi Zenmac,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums.
Lenovo is no longer pre-installing what you refer to as "bloatware". I do not understand why it is taking you so long to remove Pokki. I removed it from one of the 2014 Y3P's yesterday. It took me about 5 minutes. Have you run Malwarebytes? After uninstalling Pokki, I did do some manual editing of the Windows Registry to remove remaining remnants that no longer had files associated with them. Something else that you might consider removing is Lenovo Browser Guard. Some customers like it; others do not.
WOT is a good add-on if your children are of the age that they use search engines.
Let us know if there is anything else that we can help with.
Thankyou bugbatter. I messed things up a bit because initially i couldn't figure out where the problem was coming from. I did use malwarbytes and adwcleaner. Also I restored the computer to a few days ago but the pokki reappeared. I was still not aware it was pre-installed so I was still looking for something malicious. After the restore my mcafee was also playing up because I had uninstalled it before the restore. Anyway I made the situation worse than what it was before finding this thread. Its gone now and I could not be happier with the new PC. Thank you for the safe search engine link
You're welcome.
I'm glad you like WOT. I'm addicted to looking for those red, green, yellow icons when I search for anything. Whenever I get a new computer, that's one of the first things I add to the browsers.
Navigate to the pokki folder in "USERS" (Yes, users). Look for "uninstall.exe" (no quotes). Execute that file. That's it!
WoW!! I actually tried that and it worked. found mine in C:Users\admin\appdata\pokki\uninstall.exe
Will give it time to see if it come back but it appears to be all gone now. Thanks for the post. I had already tried the uninstall thru windows but it still was there. Mostly annoying more than anything. Never really did anything to cause me any real problems I just like a clean system.

Gel Tabs
Video Overview
Gel Tabs are formulated with a breakthrough gel locking technology for treating air conditioning drain pans and lines. Keeps the drain pan from clogging and eliminates foul and musty odors. Four sizes are available: 3 ton, 5 ton, 15 ton, and 20 ton tabs. For added convenience, the 3 ton and 5 ton Gel Tabs are also offered in a bulk pack. The 3 ton bulk pack contains 200 tabs, and the 5 ton bulk pack contains 100 tabs. Multiple Gel Tabs can be added to the pan to acquire the necessary treatment for larger systems.

The Owners Corporation Act & Regulations places accountability on the Owners Corporations, their elected committee and appointed manager, to ensure that your building is insured for its full replacement value.
Roscon's Reinstatement & Replacement Insurance Reports are very detailed, unlike most of our competitors who provide only the current insurable amount. Roscon provides the insurable amount for the next 5 years, taking the guess work and responsibility away from Owners Corporations and their managers.
Roscon's reports are based on real world construction costs backed by other checking mechanisms built into our software. Our reports also take into account and estimates the constraints of the building site for example; is the property on flat land or located in the CBD where additional costs would be allocated to cover such things such as traffic management, parking fees, rent of footpath or road space from the local municipalities etc.
Please take the time to watch this three minute video on Roscon's Reinstatement and Replacement Insurance Reports.
Eliminate the Guesswork
Our report doesn't just provide one year's valuation, we forecast 5 years so you can monitor your insurer's automatic annual increases.
Accurate Rent & Temporary Accommodation
We provide an accurate assessment from rental and comparable sales data available to us, to estimate the Loss of Rent / Temporary Accommodation which can sometimes be much higher than the automatic cover provided by some insurers, normally 15% of the insured sum.
Multiple Owner's Corporations
Roscon can provide a separate Reinstatement & Replacement valuation for each individual Owner's Corporation. Our report will also provide a summary showing the status of all OC's which can be passed on to your current insurer or other insurers, which may be used to obtain a more competitive insurance quote.
Consider the qualifications of the service provider; the assessment of Reinstatement & Replacement Insurance Report requires a broad range of professional skills and experience, such as an appreciation of costs for the construction or supply of assets of a similar size and utility; an appreciation of demand and supply of building materials and labour, professional services and planning and building approval processes which determine the timeframe for rebuilding.
If you are comparing our quote with another service provider ask yourself what qualifications and insurances they hold? Some managers use the services of real estate property estimators, referred in Australia as 'property valuers'. Property valuers don't have any construction skills, therefore double check the valuer's professional indemnity insurance to make sure they are covered specifically to undertake Reinstatement & Replacement Insurance Reports. In the event of a total loss, Roscon has the capability, qualifications and expertise to reinstate your loss, just another way we guarantee our reports.
Other factors we also take into account is the rebuilding time, the time that lapses following a major disaster and the reinstatement of the building to a fully-functional state is often underestimated. Other items which need to be considered include compliance with newly introduced local planning laws and building codes will often mean new and unforeseen additional costs not originally included in the original insured building at the time of the valuation. These items are often missed by property valuers as they aren't registered builders like Roscon.
As a part of our services we also send Owners Corporations photos of each property we inspect for your records, as we understand managers or investors may not be able to visit each property in their portfolio.
All prescribed Owners Corporations over 100 lots or Owners Corporations who collect more than $200,000 in annual fees must obtain a Reinstatement & Replacement Insurance Report every five years for insurance purposes in compliance with Section 65 of the Owners Corporations Act 2006.
Roscon recommends all Owners Corporations should obtain a Reinstatement & Replacement Insurance Report every five years even if they aren't prescribed, to ensure they will be fully covered in the event of a major disaster.
Our reports are not completed assuming the building condition and or value of today. We assume the requirements of a new development taking into consideration the National Construction Code (NCC) and relevant planning and building legalisation and requirements. Essentially resulting in the Owners Corporation receiving a far superior development.
Our reports also take into account the escalation of costs, which is the cost of building materials and labour which often outstrips the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Roscon always uses the Building Price Index (BPI) which is much higher than the CPI. In some years the BPI has increased by almost twice the rate of CPI in the last 10 years alone.
The Terrorism Insurance Act 2003 (TI Act) operates by overriding terrorism exclusion clauses in eligible insurance contracts. As part of the TI Act the Australian Reinsurance Pool Corporation (ARPC) was established to provide reinsurance for property damage, associated business interruption and public liability losses related to eligible terrorism events.
Eligible property is considered to be:
Insurance policies for eligible properties must endorse a greater risk and therefore often attract an additional levy. Our insurance reinstatement report service includes a note in assessment details regarding if the Terrorism Insurance Act and associated levy is likely to apply.

Current Projects
Fire Hydrant Replacement
The Evesham Municipal Utilities Authority fire hydrant replacement project serves the purpose of creating uniformity throughout the system and improving reliability of the individual units. This initiative is part of a continued effort to modernize the distribution system as a whole and further improve the quality of service to the Township of Evesham. As the current hydrants age, maintenance costs rise and replacement parts become more scarce. Installing new units allow the operation of the hydrants to be more consistent and increases the efficiency of the maintenance procedures.
The hydrants currently being replaced are the R.D. Wood brand, some of which have served the township since the 1960s. They will be supplanted by the 2016 Mueller Centurion, a reliable and modern model of hydrant.
The old R.D. Wood pictured above was the new standard in the 1950s and 1960s and was designed to look like a firefighters helmet. The new Mueller Centurions contain a self-lubricating mechanism that oils the working parts when the hydrant is operated, designed to increase the life of the unit.

Step 1Toast the fennel and coriander seeds in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until they are fragrant, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Cool. Use a heavy-bottom skillet on a hard surface to crush the seeds. Combine the seeds with the salt and pepper on a small plate. Dividing the spices equally, press them onto the tuna on all sides to make a firm thin crust. (The recipe can be made ahead to this point and refrigerated for several hours.)
Step 2When you are ready to serve, heat the oil in a small heavy skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is smoking. Sear the tuna about 1 minute on each side; the tuna will be barely rare and barely warm in the center. Alternatively, cook the fish to your taste, remembering that tuna cooked through tends to be dry and tasteless.
Step 3To serve the tuna, cut it into 1/4-inch thick slices. Arrange 2 Soybean Pancakes on each plate and top with tuna slices, then with the Basil, Olive and Soybean Garnish, dividing all evenly.

Election party, Bahia style
It was interesting to check out the crowd. There were a lot of folks there! Everyone was really friendly and welcoming even though I didn't really get much of a chance to talk with new folks. There was even a news camera there covering the scene!
Vilma and I ended up leaving around 11:30PM because I really needed to get home and rest, due to being sick. But today I ran into some folks who were at the party and they said they stayed until like 2:30AM to watch the concession and acceptance speeches. I managed to stay awake until 1AM, just long enough to see that CNN and ABC news had called it for Obama, before dropping off to sleep.
This morning I woke up and immediately turned on my computer. When I saw that Obama had won, and started reading a little bit about people's reactions, I totally started to cry. What an incredible time in history! I was overcome with emotion.
I had a class at 8AM, and instead of doing our normal stuff, I decided that we should watch both Obama and McCain's speeches, and then we could talk about the vocabulary they used and check to make sure he understood everything. It was nice to share this moment with one of my students and give him a chance to see how one American was moved by this unforgettable moment.
Here's a picture of me being patriotic:
"Happy New World" as they were saying at the party last night!!!!!!

What was your take on Prop 8, though?!
- November 5, 2008 at 12:09 PM
Hi Pedra...
I have a unique and interesting opportunity for both you and your blog and was wondering if you had an email address I could contact you at? I'll check back on the site if you could just leave it in this comment secion that would be great!

Well, of course I am really upset about prop. 8. I hope that upon receipt of the absentee ballots that they will find enough votes on the negative side. What a tragedy for all those couples who have already married...
My email address is:

I remember reading your posts on coming back to the States some day, and this is not a step in the right direction! I think that the decision was overshadowed by everything else going on.
- November 6, 2008 at 6:25 AM
we're pretty joyous, here... and wishing you were here to help celebrate!
prop 8 in CA sure is a huge disappointment, though.
it is clear there is still much work to do... are you ready?

Dear Friends,
I was the guest on Judith Plank's KDRT radio show, "Two BroadsCasting," on July 23, 2010. I spoke about I-House for nearly an hour and still had plenty left to say. http://www.kdrt.org/station/archives/1440 Go to this page and click on the July 23 show if you would like to hear what I said, or even a sound-bite. A friend of mine was driving from Sacramento to Davis and heard the interview. She gave me a $100 check on the spot for I-House projects. Thank you all. E.

It's two days before Christmas. I'm tired. I have tape in my hair. There's glitter all over my office. I've eaten a metric crapton of Hershey Kisses, and I've seen Home Alone so many times this year that I've started rooting for the Wet Bandits. And I still have to prep and contribute to three family holiday feasts.
But I'm not worried. It could be the steady stream of Rumchata that's flowing through my veins. But mostly, I think it's because Santa came early to my house this year. Sort of.
A few weeks back, Udi's contacted me to see if I'd like to sample some products and see how I could incorporate them into my holiday festivities. I already knew I loved a lot of their stuff, so I gamely agreed. I was expecting some cookies, maybe a loaf of bread or two. What I got was a delightful surprise - a sense of peace of mind for holiday fooding.
Last year was my first Christmas gluten free. We adapted by me making my own "special" food, while everyone else ate the same old delightfully gluten-filled things. This year, with the help of my families, we decided to make everything gluten-free: Christmas Eve at my parents' house, Christmas morning with Luke's family, and Christmas dinner at our place. All of this seemed like a fantastic idea at inception, the closer we got to the holidays, the more skeptical I got.
I was about two days from cancelling all Yuletide festivities when the Udi's shipment came in, saving the day. I no longer had to think about baking from scratch, and I had guaranteed good-tasting food. So here's how I used the goodies, and how you can bring a little bit of normal into your gluten-free holidays:
* Office Parties/Cookie Exchanges: Last week, it was unofficial holiday party day at work. You know. Cookies. More cookies. And then some more cookies. Instead of having the sads, though, I got to share some delightful brownie bites and snickerdoodles. It was great, because I had something to share, but more important, I had something to eat! I'd had the snickerdoodles before and enjoyed them, but the brownies were new to me. They remind me of the little Hostess brownie bites, but, you know, not loaded up in the big G. Not going to lie, throwing those bad boys in the microwave for a couple seconds makes them even better. Fewer of these got shared, and I regret nothing. If you're like me, not a natural baker, Udi's products are a great option for these "bring a plate to share" type events. Plus, in the Chicago area, Udi's products are getting easier to find, and trust me, it's a lot quicker to stop off and pick up a box or two of pre-mades than trying to wade through the chemistry nightmare that is first-time gluten-free baking.
* Brunches: Luke and I have a tradition every year of spending the Sunday before Christmas doing a champagne brunch. It's mostly just an excuse to get day-drunk on Andre while watching Saved By the Bell Christmas special. This year, we capped the brunch off with cinnamon rolls. Full disclosure: My favorite part of cinnamon rolls is the icing, and while I love the Udi's glaze, I *may* have supplemented with some cream cheese frosting. It kicked it up a notch, and also added some bonus calories for fervent gift wrapping later in the day. Because if there is anything we are lacking in December, it's calories. The greatest undertaking is yet to come - a French toast casserole for Christmas morning. My mother in law has made this for the past few years, and I'm psyched to get to try it, subbing in Udi's white bread for the regular stuff. It's a family recipe I can't share, but it's similar to this one from Food Network. Healthy, not so much, but decadent - oh, so decadent.
* Party Food: We do a nice set-up at my parents' place for Christmas Eve, and this year, the whole sheban is going to be Alissa-friendly, from the mini GF lasagnas to the bacon-wrapped shish kabobs. We needed some easy snackies, too, and while there are a lot of GF chips out there, I was happy to get the new ancient grains chips from Udi's. They have sort of a Sunchips vibe, and I'm looking forward to putting them out as my contribution. I've started sampling already, so I'm sure they will be popular. We're also tempted to make pizzas with the Udi's crusts - a long-time favorite of mine.
The holiday season can be so overwhelming, and I'm glad that there are companies like Udi's to take the legwork out of making gluten-free goodies. Thanks to Udi's, and I hope you all have a delightful holiday season. I'll see you all back after the first of the year. In the mean time, I'll be mainlining coffee and Bing Crosby, and trying not to eat my weight in home-made fudge.

I've been hoping, praying, and working toward this day for more than a decade. It's a bit surreal when a dream becomes a reality. But today it happened. The Storyteller Bible™ has been released!
If you want to read all about the where, what, why, when, and how of The Storyteller Bible™ keep reading.
If you just want to start listening, click here.
Here is the FAQ about The Storyteller Bible™
Question: Where can I find The Storyteller Bible™?
Answer: On your computer or mobile device, head on over to www.StorytellerBible.com. You can bookmark that page for easy access later.
Question: How is this different from any other audio Bible?
Answer: There are three main differences. First…My goal from the beginning was to create an audio Bible that would truly immerse the listener in God's Word. That's why you will find no music or animal/wind nature noises. I love some of the dramatized Bibles. This isn't one of them.
Second…I don't say any of the headings or even the chapters. I begin every book by simply saying the book's name. At the end of the book, I say, Amen. That's it. (NOTE: When I record Psalms and Proverbs – sometime in 2019 – I will say the chapters.
Third…If you've seen me present a book of the Bible (see some samples on my YouTube Channel) then you know I read/speak/tell the Bible a little differently than most. While there will always be something lost in an audio-only telling of the Bible, my hope and prayer are that I have come as close as possible to have it "feel" like one of my live presentations.
Question: How much does it cost?
Answer: Nothing. Nada. Zippo. Zilch. At our last board meeting, we decided to give the whole thing away! [Read more…] about The Storyteller Bible™ is HERE! (And it's completely free!)
