I want to share with you from my heart a little bit, this morning. If you'll take your Bible and look with me at 1 Corinthians chapter 4...1 Corinthians chapter 4. We have about a half an hour and I just want to draw you to some thoughts along the lines of discipleship.
A lot of people ask me, a lot of students ask me questions about discipleship. It's almost a weekly occurrence. And I thought that I might take a little bit of time this morning to share with you some of the basic elements of discipling. What is really involved in discipling someone? What really makes up a discipling relationship?
Obviously from the administration on down through faculty and staff down to students, we are committed to a discipling process. But just what does that process involve? I believe that in 1 Corinthians chapter 4 verses 14 to t he end of the chapter, verse 21, you have a good model. It's what I would call an implicit discipling model, rather than an explicit one in the sense that it doesn't say "this is discipleship." It implies it in the process of delineating the truths in this particular text. There are six elements here that I believe make up an effective discipling relationship and you need to look at this two ways...one as a discipler and the other as a discipelee, if I can coin that term. One has one being discipled, one has one discipling someone else. This is the stuff that you have to be involved in. This is what we would be engaged in discipling someone.
Now Paul is writing to the Corinthians. They are, in every sense, his disciples. From the very beginning, they have learned from him. They continue to do so. He writes this letter to them as the one responsible for their discipleship.
Now let me give you a simple definition of the word "disciple," it means a learner. Mathetes in the Greek means a learner, one who learns. And that's all a disciple is. Discipling is simply teaching someone. It's not simply didactic, it's implanting in their life a pattern of living. In fact, I have often said that the best way to define discipleship is a deep friendship with a spiritual core. It is a deep friendship with a spiritual core. It is coming alongside someone not for the sake of instruction, but for the sake of passing on your life patterns to them. And that means that it's not just disseminating information, it's teaching them how to live a godly life. It's walking through the world with them and passing on information in the daily struggles and issues of life. Discipling someone is reproducing in them the pattern of your own life. It's more than didactic, it's more than informational, it's much deeper than that.
But there are six ingredients that Paul delineates here as he speaks regarding his relationship to the Corinthians. And I want to give you these six for your own thinking because I believe they'll help you frame up what discipleship is all about. And you can hold your discipler to this and you can be held to this by the person you may be discipling.
Number one, and we looked...let's look at the text, first of all, in verse 14 and 15. We'll read those two verses. "I do not write these things to shame you but to admonish you as my beloved children. For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel."
Now Paul here is saying you're my children, you're my disciples, you're my followers and the first reason, or the first element of that is the discipler begets. Okay? Jot that one down. He begets. This is where the relationship really begins. Paul says you are my beloved children, I feel responsible for you. That's why he wrote to them 1 Corinthians, that's why he wrote to them 2 Corinthians. That's why he spent eighteen months of his life in the city of Corinth. That is also, by the way, why he wrote to them 3 Corinthians which is not a canonical book but another letter that Paul wrote to them between 1 and 2 Corinthians that expressed his continuing concern for them. It was a book written by Paul, not by the Holy Spirit, so it doesn't show up in Scripture. But he wrote them at least three letters, two of them inspired. He spent 18 months of his life there. He was intimately involved in the process of nurturing them as his disciples. But it all began when he beget them. And verse 15 is where we go to see that.
He says, "If you were to have countless tutors," now this is an interesting word, paidagogos...paidagogos. The word means "moral guardians." It's not the idea of a teacher. It's the idea of someone who was hired by a family to come alongside the children in the family and guard their moral development. It would be a slave in most cases, not hired to teach them but hired to guard them, hired to walk with them, to spend his time with them, to make sure their lives were as they ought to be, almost like a nanny might be, almost like a guardian. We could translate it, "You may have ten thousand," that's the Greek word, "you may have ten thousand moral guardians, you might have an unlimited number of people who are concerned about your moral development. Yet you would not have many fathers." How many fathers does anyone have? One. You only have one who begets.
So you may have ten thousand people concerned with your moral development, but you only have one father for in Christ Jesus...and here the emphatic use of ego, I only became your father through the gospel. The discipling process begins when you beget someone, when you father them into the faith. That's where the discipling process begins. And when you have followed through on your responsibility to communicate Christ and have the privilege of leading someone to the Lord, then you become their spiritual father. And they might have ten thousand moral guardians but they will view you in a unique relationship. They will see you as their spiritual father, having begotten him through the gospel, and there will be a bond there like no other bond. I can tell you that from personal experience. The people that I have had the privilege of leading to Christ have a far different relationship to me than any other people because they see me as a very special instrument of God in their life and the attachment is almost frightening.
I was in Phoenix and I was in Albuquerque this week doing pastors conferences all week long and on occasion during those times when I was having rallies with...really we had several thousand people at the rallies, and then the seminars during the day with pastors, people would come up to me tearfully, want to hug me and say, "I was saved listening to you preach...I was saved listening to your radio program...I was saved reading something that you wrote." There is a bonding t here that's really remarkable. And the purest, truest kind of discipling process flows out of that one-to-one relationship when one begets another through the gospel of Jesus Christ. And you will find in that such a fulfilling and such a joy because the bond of love is deep.
Now you say, "Well are you saying that you should never disciple somebody you haven't led to Christ?" No, because let's face it, a lot of people have been led to Christ who don't have access to the person who was instrumental in leading them to Christ. Maybe the person is moved away, maybe it's like me, they read a book or heard a tape or listened to a radio program, or maybe someone led them to Christ and was unfaithful to follow them up. So I've often thought that the world is surely full of new babes in Christ who are lying around kicking and screaming, pleading for somebody to feed them and change their diapers, you know. So there are a lot of folks who are around that aren't being discipled because whoever discipled them either would not, or could not follow them up.
But just remember this. The bonding in discipleship is the purest and the most fulfilling when you have been the spiritual father in that relationship. It begins with evangelism. And if we are to be a true discipler, we are to be a true evangelist. To bring someone to Christ is what starts the whole thing and obviously it would be ideal if everyone who led someone to Christ was responsible to follow them up, that's not always possible. And so from time to time we'll have to pick up the children of other people and become a surrogate father to them in the discipling process. But that's where it all starts.
So let me just encourage you, young people, that it's essential that we be involved in the discipling element of begetting, bringing people to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. I was so encouraged this morning in the ministry forum class which I have on Monday morning, a number of the questions this morning came from students asking how to be more effective in evangelism, how to be more effective in one on one, how to be more effective in leading someone to Jesus Christ. Of course that's tremendously encouraging to me, because that's where the discipling process begins. And when you lead someone to Jesus Christ, you feel the bond of that.
I can give you a strange but true illustration. I had the privilege of leading a girl to Christ. She came out of a pagan, unsaved family. And it was very difficult for me because I was...she was a high school gal and I was a high school guy. I was a senior in high school and I had the privilege of leading a girl o Christ. It just so happened that she was a lovely girl and I was very privileged to lead her to Christ. For a number of years, it was a tremendous burden in her heart because she couldn't separate the affection she felt for me as her spiritual father from the kind of love that she would feel toward a man she wanted to marry and it came to the point where two weeks before her wedding to another man, she came to me and said, "If you will marry me, I'll call the wedding off."
Now I was so young that I really didn't know how to handle that. But I've looked back on that...I did not marry her, by the way, she did not call the wedding off. She went ahead and married the guy, which was fine. I didn't feel that that was God's purpose for either of us at the time, and it obviously was not. But the point was, the bond was so strong that I had to teach her that the spiritual bond you feel toward someone is not necessarily the indication of God that that's to be your life partner. But I've often thought of that bonding that occurs when you have the privilege of leading someone to Jesus Christ.
Talk about a true friend, you looking for a true friend? Lead someone to Christ, now you have a friend, probably a friend that in most cases will stick closer than a brother.
The second element in discipling, after you've begotten someone, notice verse 14. Paul is writing to them and he's been, for all intents and purposes, blistering them up one side and down the other for four chapters, I mean he has really laid them out. What is the highest form of abuse or criticism? Well usually people say sarcasm. Sarcasm is the highest form, the most volatile form of verbal scathing and he gets very sarcastic with them in chapter 4. In fact he in verse...you might look at verse 8, get the sarcasm he says to these Corinthians, "You are already filled, you have already become rich, you have become kings without us, aren't you hot stuff?" Now that's sarcastic stuff. "I would indeed that you had become kings." He is so upset with them that he's being sarcastic. And verse 11 he says, "We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise. We are weak, but you are strong." All dripping sarcasm. He is very upset. "You are distinguished, we are without honor," and so forth.
] Now why is he talking like this? And their ears are beginning to burn and then you come to verse 14. He says, "I don't write these things o shame you." Listen, you never want to bring into a relationship the goal of shaming someone, that's negative. You don't want to just shame people. You don't want to just embarrass them. You don't want to just put them down. He says, "I don't write these things to shame you, to embarrass you." But, here it comes, "To admonish you." And there's the second element in the discipling process. He not only begets, but he admonishes.
Now what does it mean to admonish? Put down the word "warn." Her warns, that's really what it means. This is a Greek verb, noutheteo, and what it means is it means to admonish or encourage someone with a view toward impending judgment. It's warning. It's saying, "Look, if you continue to go the way you're going to go, the consequences are going to be serious." He says, "That's why I'm writing this way to you. It's because I'm warning you about the path you're headed in." The Corinthians were in discord. They were saying, "I'm of Paul," and others were saying, "I'm of Apollos," others were saying, "I'm of Christ," and some were saying, you know, I'm of Cephas." There was discord there. There was a failure to acknowledge that they would judge the world and therefore they ought to judge in their own quarrels and squabbles and they were going to the courts of men and they had no business taking their problems before the worldly pagan courts. They were messed up about singleness. They were messed up about marriage. They were messed up about sex. They were messed up about remarriage. They were fouled up about meat offered to idols and pagan worship. They were confused about many, many things. They were confused, as you know later on, about spiritual gifts. They were confused about the resurrection from the dead. There were all kinds of problems in that church and Paul is saying to them, "I have to warn you that if you continue in this path, you're going to face some serious consequences."
I believe that's part of the discipling process. There's a warning thing here that when you love somebody you warn them. Certainly as a father I warn my children out of love. Nobody says, "Why do you continually warn your children? Don't you love them?" Wait a minute. I warn them because I love them. "Don't touch that, it's hot." "Don't get in there, it will burn you." "Don't walk in the street, you might get hit by a car." I mean, that's normal expression of love that says you better not do that or the consequences are going to be bad.
A couple of weeks ago in church I gave an illustration, I just repeat it for those of you who night not have been there. I turned on a Christian radio program and a lady called up, counseling program, and she said, "I'm a Christian and I have a real problem and I want to ask you about my problem."
And the counselor on there said, "Fine."
She said, "I am a...I am really a compulsive sex addict," which is kind of a dumb term but that's the way she put it. She said, "I just...I just want to have sex all the time."
And he said, "Well, how do you mean...how does this manifest itself?"
She said, "Well, I just go to bed with everybody, anybody. I meet somebody, I want to go to bed with them I'm just compelled to do that."
And he said to her...this is a Christian radio station, Christian counseling program, he said to her, "Tell me about your father."
She said, "Oh, my father was passive. He never gave me any advice, never told me anything, he was just passive."
And he said, "Uh-huh, yeah, that fits." Then he said, "Tell me about your mother."
She said, "Love/hate, love/hate. I love my mother, she loves me, but I hate the fact that she's overbearing and dominating and she always tries to control me."
"I see...I see. Don't you see why you're acting like this? You're trying to penalize your mother and your father. You're trying to penalize your father who gave you no direction by saying you didn't give me any direction, and now look the way I am. You're trying to penalize your mother who was overbearing, tried to control your life by saying...now I'm out of your control, see how I'm living, take that. And don't you see what you're doing is...see, you're doing this to pay back your parents for the deep wounds they've applied in your life." Then he said, "You know what you really need, you need therapy." And he said, "It's going to take a long time."
She said, "Oh, I've already been in therapy a year."
"Oh," he says, "it's going to take longer than that." He said, "It's like taking a piece of meat out of the freezer, you can't eat it, you've got to let it thaw and you're going to take a long time to thaw." And then he said this, "What you need, you need to find a loving, accepting church environment where people are really willing to work with you as you struggle to deal with this issue."
And I said to myself, "That's the biggest bunch of baloney I ever heard in my life." What he should have said to her is, "I don't know if you're a Christian since fornicators don't inherit he Kingdom of God. But should it be true that you might be a Christian living in sin, may I please say to you, dear lady, please get on your knees and repent of your fornication and cry out before God for His grace before the wrath of God falls upon you and you be chastened severely for the way you're living. You don't need an accepting environment, you need a confronting environment. That's what discipling does. It doesn't coddle sin, it confronts it in love. It doesn't tolerate it."
But that's the mood of the day that says since it isn't your fault anyway, why should we hold you responsible for your behavior?
Paul certainly didn't handle things that way. In 1 Corinthians he says, "You better stay away from that sexual sin." He was very confrontive. That's part of discipleship, it's an admonishing, it's an accountability. I hold you responsible for virtue. I have people in my life who call me during the week at set intervals to tell me whether they have committed a certain sin. And they do that during the week because I have set up an accountability with them to hold them accountable not to commit that sin. And some of them have fallen into such habit patterns that they have to call me every couple of days to report in because I demand that of them. I want to pray for you and I want to help you get over this sin, this thing that's in your life and the only way I know to do that is to make you responsible to tell me every time you do it, so call me every other day and tell me whether you've committed that sin. And invariably they don't want to have to tell me that so that accountability becomes a deterrent and if you can follow that pattern long enough, you can break the back of some habits. That's accountability and that's done out of love.
You admonish. A discipling relationship confronts sin in a loving way. Hey, you do it how? As Galatians 6 says, "You that are spiritual....what?...restore such a one in love considering yourself lest you also be tempted." You're not impervious to that. You do it with love but you do it, admonish.
Third factor in discipleship. This too is vital. An effective discipler begets, an effective discipler warns. Thirdly, an effective discipler loves. And I just draw this out verse 14 where he says, "To admonish you as my beloved children."
Paul, we think of him always, you know, as this great mind, this analytical, critical thinker, this massive intellect, but he had a heart of tremendous compassion. He had a gentleness about him. He had a meekness. He had a caring spirit and it's manifested in the way he loved. He loved deeply and he loved profoundly and he loved unhesitatingly and he loved sacrificially. And he says to these Corinthians, "My beloved children..." and in so doing he cracks a little window on his feelings toward them and says, "I love you." And let me tell you something, young people, you will never effectively disciple anyone that you do not love because it is the love that you show to them that binds them to you. That's the attraction in the relationship. That's the bonding element. As you demonstrate your love to them, they hold tightly to you because love is the greatest of all things to experience.
You say, "What do you mean by love? You mean feelings?" Not just that. I mean basically sacrifice. How does somebody know you love them? When you sacrifice for them. If you say, "Hey, I want to disciple you, I really do." And they say to you, "Could we meet, I have a real burden, could we meet and pray?" "Oh I'm sorry, let's see...it will be...oh boy, how about next Tuesday at four?" The message you just sent is, "Look, I want to disciple you, it's a duty I'd like to perform, but I'm not really too concerned about you to be honest with you." You are sending loud signals to that person that you don't love them and love is the bond that holds the relationship together.
The way you demonstrate that love is not by feeling the warm and fuzzies, not holding hands and swaying back and forth and singing songs. The way you demonstrate that love is how much sacrifice you make for that person. What are you sacrificing for that person? Is that the...that's the message you're sending. If that person knows you have them in your heart and that to the point where you sacrifice things on your agenda for them, there's going to be the essence of love that's going to make the relationship hold together.
It's very simple. Jesus in John 13 washed the disciples feet, then He said, "By this shall all men know that you're My disciples if you have love one for another." How are you going to love one another? "Just as I have loved you." How had He loved them? By washing their dirty feet. That wasn't His choice, that was their need. And when you set aside your choice for someone else's needs, you send signals of love, biblical love, spiritual love that binds a relationship together.
So discipleship means begetting, it means admonishing, and it means loving which means sacrificing myself for you. I believe that some of you because it's typical of any group of Christian people will make it through most of your life without ever setting aside any significant things in your life for the sake of anybody else. You will do it until maybe you learn the hard way and you wake up to find that you don't have anybody left in your circle of friends. You don't have any relationships that have any depth at all because you're not giving up anything to make those relationships what God would have them to be.
Number four, the fourth element in effective discipleship is to set an example...to set an example. It is more important what you do than what you say. And I know there are some people who say, "You know, I don't know if I could be a very good discipler, I don't know much theology. Or I don't know if I could be a very good discipler because I'm not sure what the principles of discipleship are.
That isn't the issue. The issue in discipling someone is to come alongside of them and model a virtuous life. Whatever you may say or not say, certainly it can be strengthened as your effectiveness as a communicator, but the real issue here is exemplary. Look at verse 16. Paul says, "I exhort you therefore, be imitators of me, be imitators of me." Pattern your life after me an that's what a discipler has to say, "I want you to be like me." Does that put any back pressure on you? I mean, if you're discipling someone, you say, "Be like me." Now that ought to put some heat on you, right? Do you expect them to have a prayer life? Then you better have one. Do you expect them to have a time in the Word of God, you better have one. If you expect them to love the Lord with all their heart, then you better do that. If you expect them to be sacrificial Christians, then you better be one because that's exactly what they'll pick up...the level of our own life pattern.
You see, a true discipleship relationship is intimate enough for that to be manifest. It's intimate enough for that to be manifest. And frankly, young people, you probably right now in the years, or the four years you're here at the Master's College, have the greatest possible training ground on the face of the earth to learn the discipling process because never again in your life will you probably live in a communal environment like this. Once you step out of this thing, marry somebody, you'll go into your own little box on your own little street and it will be the end of intimate community for you. And you can, from them on, pretty much isolate who you are to the three, four, five people that live in your house. But while you're here, who you are ripples all down the hall, doesn't it? The impact, the potential impact for the discipling process here may be the greatest it will ever be in your life unless you wind up with a career in a submarine, or something like that.
That's one of the neat things about athletics. Athletics throws people together and in athletic competition, whatever you are on the inside comes screaming out for everybody to see and it's in that kind of thing where everything is transparent and visible that real relationships are born and built. That's the strength of that. That's why you can...I look back and the conflict of athletics and I made bonds with people that I'll have a lifetime even though I don't ever see them again because I know the depths of their emotions and feelings and attitudes because they all came out in the artificial conflict of competition. So you have a tremendous opportunity here to live an exemplary life and to impact and affect probably the widest range of people you ever will.
I'll put it very personally. You will by your example here probably influence more people than I can by my example. I am mostly a voice and I live in a house with a family and I can impact them with what my life is, but I don't live in a dormitory. And the potential for one-to-one impact of an exemplary life is great and that's the heart and soul of the discipling process.
So Paul says, "Imitate me," and that's what the discipler has to say, "Imitate me." You've seen me in the morning. You've seem me at night. You see me all through the day. You see my reactions to difficulty. You see my reactions to good things. You see how I use my time, how I use my money, how I use my eyes, my ears, everything, my body. It's all there for you to see.
Verse 17 says, and following up the same thing, "For this reason," that is the reason that I want you to imitate me, "I have sent to you Timothy who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord and he'll remind you of my ways which are in Christ." Paul says I've reproduced myself in Timothy and since I want you to be like me, I'm sending him because he's already like me. So it's a matter of setting an example. You know, the fun of discipleship is reproducing yourself. And, you know, you sit back and all of a sudden you look at this guy you've poured your life into and he comes to you and you just...you almost want to laugh...I've had this experience...because he's just...he's regurgitating back to you everything you've shown him, only he thinks he's discovered it all. You know, he's saying, "Boy, you know how I feel about this..." and you're just smiling away cause that's exactly how you feel about it. And he gives you all his concerns, and all his passions and you're just smiling away because you know where he got them all. That's the joy of the reproductive process. You set the example.
Let people come alongside you and learn how you live, how you think, how you react and set the example. Paul says, "I want you to imitate me so I'm sending Timothy who imitates me and you can imitate him and thus imitate me.
Number five, an effective discipler teaches...he begets, he warns, he loves, he sets an example, he teaches. Paul at the end of verse 17 says, "I teach everywhere in every church." So he says, "I want you to follow my pattern, I want you to follow my pattern as exemplified in Timothy, he will remind you of my ways which are in Christ. He'll show you how I lived. And though they're the same ways I teach everywhere." So there's another component in discipling, there is teaching.
You say, "What do I do in this process?" For years and years I...I've discipled men by taking them through books of the Bible, teaching them the things of the Bible, teaching them theology, teaching them all kinds of things, that's part of it. I've also recommended many books that I love and books that I think are very important that I encourage them to read and give them instruction in areas of Christian development, biblical truth, doctrine and so forth. That's a part of it. You give them principles and you give them precepts.
Some of you were in church yesterday morning, did you notice what I said as I was introducing the message? "Principles can only go so far, teaching can only go so far," and I made this distinction, it's a good one to keep in mind. "Teaching tells me what I am to do, teaching shows me my duty. Example proves to me it's possible." That's good, that's encouraging because if all I got was principles, principles, principles, principles, principles and I looked at my own life, I'd say, "I can't hack it, I can't make it." So you show me someone who is and I say, "Hey, not only is this my duty but it's possible."
So you teach the principles, you teach the precepts. You give people the Word of God. You give them good material, good books to read, whatever you want to give them in the discipling process and then in your example you show them that responding to those principles is possible...it's possible.
And then the last principle, number six. And let's just say he disciplines...he disciplines. The discipler disciplines, or she disciplines, either one. Would you notice in verse 18, "Some of you have become arrogant and you don't think I'm coming to you." Paul says, "Some of you people I've poured my life in, you don't think I'm going to come back to Corinth, so you're just out on your own doing your own thing and you're proud about it." But verse 19, "I will come to you...I will come to you if the Lord wills and I'm going to find out not the words of those that are arrogant, but their power." I'm going to come and I'm going to find out if you're all talk or if you've really got some clout. "For the Kingdom of God doesn't consist in words but in power."
So what do you desire? Look at this, verse 21, "Shall I come to you with a rod or with love and a spirit of gentleness?" What's he saying? He's saying, "Even when we're severed in that discipling relationship, even when we've separated, I'm going to come back to you and if you think you can get away with anything, you're wrong because I'm going to confront you and I'm going to confront your arrogance and find out if you've really got the clout you claim to have." So he's saying you better gt your act together so that when I come to you I don't have to come with a rod because if you've got things right with the Lord, I can come with a spirit of love and gentleness.
Now what I want you to see in this point is this, there's a sense in which you never lose the disciple. People say to me, "How long do you disciple someone before you give them up?" Let me tell you something. Once you've discipled someone effectively, you never give them up the rest of your life. I had a guy I discipled for three years, I poured my life into that guy. We separated because he moved to another area. I heard about him being involved in sinful things. I basically enacted 1 Corinthians, I went to him, I confronted him, I disciplined him, I went with a rod in that kind of situation. And I said, "Out of sight is not out of mind, we have a relationship and I want to confront that sin which is in your life." And I called him back to repentance.
That's part of it, too. That's part of it, too. Now you may not be able to follow up everybody that you've influenced but the need to follow up. And so he says to the Corinthians, "Hey, I'm coming, I'm coming to see you." And he writes a letter. "And I hope when I get there I'm going to find that you can take me in love and gentleness rather than with a rod."
Now, how then do we disciple? Beget, warn, love, set an example, teach and discipline when discipline is necessary. That really is the simple stuff of which discipleship is made. And that's really what we would hope and pray all of us would be doing with our lives. And my prayer is, of course, that you would do that and that you'll know the joy of the kind of bond that occurs.
Can I just draw a conclusion right here and then I'll let you go? And it is this, the dearest person in Paul's life was whom? Timothy, dearest friend he had. And why? Because he had made the greatest discipling investment in his life. You want a lifelong friend? That's where to have it. And let me suggest that that's the bond even that will hold a man and a woman together when they see the challenge of discipling one another in Christ's likeness. Let's pray.
Father, thank You for our time today. What a good time. What a refreshing time. We thank You for all that You're doing in our lives and in our college and we pray that we might be effective in reproducing the very life of Christ in those that are around us. Give us somebody that we could nurture in the faith that we can pour our life into for Your glory, not for ours, but for Yours and that they might be effective in exalting Your name and it's in that very name, the name of Christ we pray. Amen. God bless you, have a good day.

Police arrest 2 in restaurant parking lot shooting
Investigation ongoing, police say
Authorities arrested two men in connection with a restaurant parking lot shooting in Henniker early Saturday morning.
Henniker police said they were called to a report of shots being fired at the parking lot of the Gin Gin Restaurant on Maple Street. Officer Matthew O'Connor was sitting across the street when he said he heard the sound of a gun fired. Minutes later, the officer saw witnesses yelling, "Call the police, he has a gun."
O'Connor said he saw Joseph Wilcox, 51, kneeling down with a handgun on his side, while Jeffrey Wigsten, 47, hid behind a car.
Investigators said Wigsten assaulted Wilcox in the restaurant's parking lot, which led to Wilcox pulling out a handgun and firing it toward Wigsten.
Police said Wilcox is charged with attempted aggravated assault. He is scheduled for arraignment Monday morning.
Officers also arrested Wigsten on charges of simple assault. He is set to appear before court on Mach 5.
The investigation is ongoing, police said.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call the Henniker Police Department at 603-428-3213 or the Concord Regional Crimeline at 603-226-3100.

West Virginia's New River Gorge area was already a destination for adrenaline junkies, but now the thrill factor has reached new heights.
Two hundred feet, to be precise. That's the height at the highest point of Gravity, the mile-long zip line that is the latest attraction at the growing Adventures on the Gorge vacation complex.
Participants jump from platforms high in the trees, reaching speeds of 40 mph to 60 mph as they glide along zip lines that take them whizzing through the West Virginia forest.
"It's really a super thrill," said Brian Campbell, one of the owners of Adventures on the Gorge.
The New River Gorge is a gash in the heart of West Virginia, 1,000 feet deep in most places. The New River that foams and glides along its base is considered one of the nation's top whitewater rafting destinations, said Campbell.
The area is also home to the town of Fayetteville, known for its quaint downtown and chef-owned restaurants; and Beckley, home to the combined Exhibition Coal Mine and Youth Museum of Southern West Virginia, which offers visitors a tour 1,500 feet below ground.
Hiking is also popular. A highlight of the region is the New River Gorge Bridge, a stunning steel arch bridge built in 1977, which soars 876 feet above the river and has a catwalk open to pedestrians.
But adventure has always been the mainstay of the area. In 2008, three rafting companies — Class VI River Runners, Mountain River Tours and Rivermen, owned by Campbell — merged to form a resort on the rim of the gorge. This year, the group added a fourth rafting company, Songer. Those companies have retained their identities while becoming part of the larger adventure destination, said Campbell.
"Our goal was to evolve from a one- or two-day rafting getaway to a more well-rounded vacation destination," said Campbell.
Adventures on the Gorge has invested millions of dollars to add restaurants and lodging, and now has three restaurants, including Smokey's on the Gorge, with a deck that is cantilevered over the gorge. There are also bars and a bandstand for live entertainment, said Campbell.
Lodging options at the property range from camping sites to fully furnished cabins that have kitchens and hot tubs.
Last year, the resort added an all-inclusive option, so visitors could pay one price for lodging, meals and the adventures of their choice. Prices range from $149 to $219 per person per day, a fee that includes activities such as guided whitewater rafting and mountain biking tours. The guides can even set up a skydiving jump with West Virginia Skydivers.
Two years ago, the resort added the TreeTops Canopy Tour, with 10 zip lines ranging from 190 to 730 feet in length. The lines take visitors on a rushing ride through the forest before landing them on platforms in trees, between 40 and 80 feet high. Five cable bridges connect the platforms and the whole thing is constructed so participants zip across Mill Creek, a 300-foot tributary of the New River Gorge, nine separate times, said Campbell.
"The canopy tour has been our biggest success," said Campbell. "It's really the first activity that we've added that rivals the rafting in quality and ability to attract people just to do that program."
The adventure is designed with shorter and slower zip lines to start, so users can get used to the feel of flying through the trees, while also learning how to brake and how to land on the platforms, he said.
They are harnessed in and don't need arm strength, but there is also an exit option if users decide after a few zips that they don't want to continue. If they persevere, the best is yet to come.
"After six zip lines, you're back on the ground at the bottom of the canyon," he said. "We then go on a short 800-foot hike to regain about 100 feet of elevation." From there, it's time for the longest and fastest zip line, which whooshes through a forest of hemlocks that are hundreds of years old before landing on a platform in one that is more than 400 years old.
A year later, the company added Gravity, a more adventurous adventure, with a zip line that is 3,100 feet long.
And more attractions are yet to come, said Campbell. Next will likely be a swimming pool and another aerial park, this one suitable for younger children, since the minimum age is 10 for TreeTops and 12 for Gravity.
"We are actively competing with the beach vacation," said Campbell. "We do all the hard work and we've got all the toys. You're going to have experiences you will talk about for the rest of your life."
If you goAdventures on the Gorge
The vacation complex is based in Lansing, W. Va., near the New River Gorge. The resort offers inclusive packages so visitors can pay a single price for lodging, meals and activities including zip line tours, whitewater rafting trips and mountain biking adventures.
Getting there: It's about a six-hour drive from Baltimore. Take Interstate 70 west to I-68 west, crossing into West Virginia. Then take I-79 south to U.S. 19 south. Follow for about 60 miles and turn right onto Ames Heights Road. If you cross the New River Gorge bridge you've gone too far. Follow Ames Heights Road for about one mile.

Devices help alert teams to potential concussions on the field
The Baltimore Sun
June 27, 2012
For almost a decade, helmet-maker Riddell has gauged the frequency and severity of head impacts through helmets lined with sensors that communicate wirelessly to the sidelines. But Able "wanted to develop a technology that provided impact data for all sports, not just helmeted sports."
The result is the X2 Impact, an electronics-packed mouth guard that records direction, force and number of impacts to the head, then wirelessly sends the information to sideline staff...
The mouth guard joins the nearly decade-old Head Impact Telemetry System and Sideline Response System, owned and co-developed by Riddell and product development firm Simbex. Data on 1.8 million on-field head impacts have been collected through the HITS system, leading to dozens of published studies and several rule changes, including:
Brown and Dartmouth successfully lobbied the Ivy League to eliminate in-season, full-contact practices and reduce them in preseason because of how many head impacts athletes were exposed to. "Reducing impact exposure will ultimately reduce athletes' risk of concussion," explained Thad Ide, Riddell's senior vice president of research and product development.

Konerko agreed, pointing out that the first four months of the season should have been the ultimate judge in that.
"I mean we're four months in now," Konerko said. "Four months is usually a pretty good test of a team to show you're capable or not capable."
Just keep in mind the division you've been playing these 4 months in Paulie.

Health news & notables.
In addition to its cardiovascular benefits, regular exercise also may help prevent diabetes and other chronic illnesses by reducing common risk factors, according to researchers at the University of Buffalo, New York. Researchers said physical activity carried out during leisure time - but not at work - was linked to a lower rate of insulin-resistance syndrome in adults. Both men and women who were active in their leisure hours were less likely to have insulin resistance than sedentary individuals.
A recent study found that bone density gained early through exercise stays around in later years. Researchers at the UKK Institute for Health Promotion Research in Finland reported that even after athletes cut back on competition and decreased training, the bone density they had gained earlier remained. They concluded that exercising regularly may help prevent osteoporosis later in life.
Kids improve their strength faster by lifting moderate weights with many repetitions, rather than working out with heavy weights, according to a recent study by researchers at the University of Massachusetts, Boston. That's different from the approach recommended for adults, who build muscles most effectively by doing a few repetitions with heavy weights. The study involved 43 children, ages 5 through 11, who trained twice weekly for eight weeks in a supervised YMCA after-school program.

USAToday Article
I was interviewed recently by Alex Prewitt, a sports writer for USAToday. He came across this blog, and was intrigued about the Ballhawk League and ballhawking in general. I spoke with him by telephone for 40 minutes Sunday afternoon. He had lots of great questions, so I was really looking forward to the article.

7-6-09 Citizens Bank Park
The Pirates are out of town until July 17th, which would mean 17 days without a baseball game for me. I decided to break up the drought by attending a game in Philadelphia.
I'd never been to a baseball game in Philly before, so I was interested to see what Citizens Bank Park had to offer.
I got to the stadium at 2:35, almost 2 full hours before the gates were to even open. I figured that I would give myself some extra time to account for traffic and to stop for lunch. (I ended up not stopping because my GPS directed me to a non-existent phantom Wendy's. Frustrated, I decided to eat at the stadium.) I was there so early, that the parking attendant thought I worked at McFadden's.
I approached the stadium and took a walk around the exterior.
It had a nice facade, nice landscaping, and was in a decent enough area.
The first matter of business was to find an open ticket window and buy a ticket for today's game. I walked past the first base entrance
then realized that the Reds had many more righties than lefties, and I'd have a better chance back in the packed left field seats.
Brandon Phillips put on a show in batting practice. One of his home runs came right to me, I was camped underneath it, ready to make the catch, when at the moment the ball was several feet from my glove, about 5 people's arms slammed into mine. My arm moved, and the ball tipped off my glove. I didn't get the ball. Fans in Philadelphia are much more agressive when it comes to going a
fter home run balls in batting practice than in Pittsburgh or Cleveland. In Pittsburgh, us ballhawks spread out and have our own little zones that we tend to stay in. We never run into each other or rob each other of home runs when another is camped under one. Next time I go to a game in Philly I'll be prepared.
I was shut out for the rest of batting practice and ended with 2 baseballs.
I walked around the concourse. I liked how the Phillies post their line up on a large brick wall at the entrance to the left field gate:
The Phillies top 2 stars for my money:
The Liberty Bell (which gongs after a Phillies player goes deep):
Here was my view from my seat:
The Phillies would go on to knock out starter Johnny Cueto in the first inning and score an amazing 10 runs in the first inning. They would go on to win the game 22-1. I don't think I've ever attended such a lopsided game.
I made my back to my hotel in Philadelphia. (Which didn't have Internet). Ran a few miles on the treadmill in the fitness center, did 31 floors on a stairmaster, and went to bed.
I then disappeared for the next week (which is why its taken me a week to get this entry up) to the shore.
Today's baseballs:
Sweet spots:
Game: 2 balls (2 hit)
Season: 226 balls (119 hit, 75 thrown, 32 device)
Games: 46 games (5 of which didn't have BP)
Average: 4.91 balls per game
Career: 392 balls
Attendance: 41,548

Peter Pickering necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 54 diseños de 9 diseñadores freelance.
West Australian Photographic Federation Inc.
We are the West Australian photographic body under which all State camera clubs are listed. We provide a voice to the government and media for all State clubs and their members. Our aim is to promote photography by encouraging and assisting the development of new district and regional camera clubs.
The committees of existing and proposed Camera Clubs in Western Australia.
We need a fresh modern logo and a business card design. The old logo, which is attached, dates back over 50 years, and today it looks more like a badge for the front bumper of a car! Today we are very modern and progressive and we're pushing digital photography so the design should be modern. We are currently using an awful, temporary logo which is also attached.
Apart from the logo device itself, the words WEST AUSTRALIAN PHOTOGRAPHIC FEDERATION INC. must appear and we also use the letters WAPF quite often (as it's shorter).
Our web site is http://www.wapf.org.au The colours and web layout will be easily amended to fit the design of the logo so don't worry about creating a logo to fit the website.
We shall be using the new logo on a range of embroidered clothing, and on giftware such as mugs, mouse pads etc.
The single-sided business card will need the logo device, the name, "http://www.wapf.org.au", "firstname.lastname@example.com", a space where we will add the individuals name and position (and maybe their phone), and in very small text " ABN 24 407 542 668 ". We will not include an address or phone number for ourselves.
Colours? Well I'm not really sure. I tend to feel it needs to be something bold. We're not keen on red. We don't want anything too soft or feminine. Not really keen on greens. A dark blue or perhaps even burnt orange might work. I'm open to your suggestions.

On Tuesday night, "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon showed the Orlando audience a video of his scream-filled roller coaster ride with comedian Kevin Hart.
The two funny men shouted in terror as the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit at Universal Studios Florida took them through several dramatic twists and turns in the air.
At one point, Fallon shrieked as a bug flew in his face.
Fallon also showed a video of Hart's recent appearance on wrestling television program WWE Raw, but the "Think Like A Man" star said the clip was embarrassing.
"The only reason why I'm mad you guys had that video," Hart said, "I went through the lower part of the rope. No wrestlers go through that part. I'm the first grown man in the history of wrestling to go through that rope."

Squeezing donors is an art.
The wise fund raiser nevers applies philanthropic pressure to an empty stomach.
And here's the latest round of charitable efforts made possible by chef-philanthropists and foodies. They're making the menu, and generously raising money and awareness about a variety of good causes, from preventing child abuse to training the next chef generation.
17th Annual Meet the Chefs of Del Mar
1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 14
Hilton Del Mar; 15575 Jimmy Durante Blvd., Del Mar. (760) 754-5500 or casadeamparo.org. $150; $175 at the door; VIP $200 includes pre-reception.
A poolside affair, with wine, live music, and an auction ($2,000 in premium wines are on the line). But everyone goes for tasty dishes/desserts and the chefs that made them. More than a dozen Del Mar-area restaurants will be represented, including long-serving food-figures like Pamplemousse Grille's Jeffrey Strauss , plus fresh faces making a name for themselves like Pacifica Del Mar's new chef Stephanie O'Mary-Berwald, and Amaya at The Grand Del Mar's newly promoted chef Matt Sramek. The event supports the child-abuse prevention programs of Casa de Amparo.
"Young Guns" Chef Celebration
Tuesday, April 16
Solace and the Moonlight Lounge: 25 East E St., Encinitas, (760) 753-2433; chefcelebration.org
Their ambitions are evident -- some already work in San Diego's top kitchens. Now let these young gun chefs try to impress you with a four-course meal.
The up-and-comers are recent recipients of a culinary scholarship that sends sous chefs and line cooks for brief training at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa. Sponsored by our local Chef Celebration nonprofit, these dinners help underwrite their CIA study. On the menu expect unique ingredients like a starter with geoduck clam and sunchoke tackled by Kitchen 1540's Jonathan Bautista, plus rabbit saddle with black truffle beignets by Michael Welch and William Geiger, part of the support-crew at Solace & the Moonlight Lounge. Solace's owner/executive chef Matt Gordon is a big supporter of young cooks.
A Taste of Asia
6 to 10 p.m. Saturday, April 20
San Diego Public Market, 1735 National Ave., Barrio Logan. (619) 233-3901; tasteofasia.bpt.me. $75 VIP (unlimited eats/drinks); $55 (10 food samples and two drinks). Day-of $85.
Ace chefs from around the region are collecting for A Taste of Asia, a fundraiser for Just Call Us Volunteers, which feeds hot meals to San Diego's homeless. Inside the Public Market -- a warehouse-enclosed farmers market and host of special events -- you'll find merriment, and food from Gaijin Noodle & Sake House and Sushi on a Roll, plus dishes by chefs not commonly associated with Asian food (e.g. Hanis Cavin from the pork-sandwich stand, Carnitas' Snack Shack). However there's Asian influence in the Baja Med cuisine that's so popular right now (defined as a fusion of Mexican, Mediterranean and Asian flavors). And its chief proponent, Misión 19 chef Javier Plasciencia, will be cooking at this event, hopefully with his whole-animal roasting caja china.
Dine Out For Life
Thursday, April 25
More than 100 restaurants/bars throughout San Diego; 619.692.2077 or diningoutforlife.com/sandiego
The directness of this national campaign is so appealing: "Dine out, fight AIDS."

Wayne Rooney should play in midfield for England against Switzerland, according to former Manchester United team-mate Paul Scholes.
Rooney captained his country for the first time in the 1-0 friendly defeat of Norway at Wembley, where he led the line and scored the only goal from the penalty spot in what was an uninspiring performance from Roy Hodgson's team on Wednesday night.
England have Danny Welbeck, Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling available to choose from up front and Scholes thinks that moving Rooney back into midfield could reap dividends in the Euro 2016 qualifier against the Swiss on Monday.
"It is quite obvious to me that we do not have a midfielder with the range of passing to exploit these three attacking players," Scholes said in his column in The Independent.
"It is a radical solution, and one I would propose just for the Switzerland qualifier on Monday, but I would play Wayne Rooney in midfield.
"This is not an argument to say that Wayne is not a top striker. His record says that he is and in an ideal world, I would have two Waynes: one to hit those passes from deep and another to get on the end of them.
"He is the best passer in the team and he can play that role better than anyone."
Scholes thinks the 28-year-old is perfect for a more central role due to his vision.
He added: "One thing you can be sure about Wayne is he is not bothered about taking risks. If he saw the pass was on he would hit it.
"The absence of a specialist midfielder capable of passing the ball with flair concerns me."

TORONTO - Erin Mielzynski is not a fan of heights but she still tried diving from a 10-metre tower this summer. The Canadian skier also learned how to surf last spring and took on the waves along the Kananaskis River.
Mountain biking is not her forte but she was determined to give that a try too.
She calls it "fear training."
The slalom specialist is hoping that pushing herself outside her comfort zone during the off-season will help make her more mentally prepared on the slopes.
"Our sport has to do with a lot of fear," she said Tuesday at a ski team availability. "There's fear standing at the start. Fear of not doing enough, fear of the speed. I mean, it's fast."
Mielzynski, 23, competed at the 2010 Vancouver Games and has two World Cup podium appearances on her resume. In March 2012, she became the first Canadian since Betsy Clifford in 1971 to win a World Cup women's slalom race.
She added a World Cup silver last season and has a shot to make a podium appearance at next year's Sochi Olympics. Mielzynski hopes that fear training will help her stay calm and focused when the pressure is heightened during competition.
"It's just about pushing your limits," she said. "Do one thing a day that scares you and if not, then maybe do two the next day. I think that's really important because it keeps you guessing, keeps you pushing and keeps the love of the sport alive."
Mielzynski, who trains for five hours each day, felt invigorated after trying new things in the off-season.
"When I'm going down fast and I'm avoiding rocks and things, I have to be so aware of what I'm doing," she said. "Even though the fear is there and the heart rate is high, I still have to be aware. And that's the same with skiing.
"The gates are coming at me so fast and I have to be aware."
Mielzynski, from Guelph, Ont., competed in the season-opening giant slalom event last week in Austria but didn't advance to the second run. It was not her specialty event and she had a late start, but she still found it to be a valuable experience.
She was also pleased that her mindset improved before the race and during the competition.
"It seemed like training and that's what I've been striving for for the last two years in a race," she said. "Although my results didn't show what I wanted them to, it was nice to stand in the start and (now I) feel confident going into the next races."
She's learning to feel afraid and to make sure it's a positive thing.
"There's always an element of fear," she said. "It should be there. If you're totally comfortable, it's not right. But you can learn ways to get around it.
"Sometimes it's not thinking so much, it's just getting in the start, pushing out of it and dealing with whatever you have to deal with."

|The protein export is the active transport of proteins from the cytoplasm to the exterior of the cell, or to the periplasmic compartment in Gram-negative bacteria. The sec dependent pathway is the general protein export system that transports newly synthesized proteins into or across the cell membrane. The translocation channel is formed from a conserved trimeric membrane protein complex, called the Sec61/SecY complex. The twin-arginine translocation (Tat) pathway is another protein transport system that transports folded proteins in bacteria, archaea, and chloroplasts. Many Tat systems comprise three functionally different membrane proteins, TatA, TatB, and TatC, but TatA and TatE seem to have overlapping functions, with TatA having by far the more important role.

Sabayon je v základu Gentoo (testovací větev Gentoo) takže spousta věcí, které se vztahují k Gentoo lze aplikovat také v Sabayonu. Pokud budete mít toto na paměti, následující odkazy budou užitečné v řešení problémů na které můžete narazit.
Hlavní odlišností Sabayonu je to, že používá systém pro správu balíčků Entropy a načítá balíčky v binární podobě s jejich vlastními závislostmi. USE flags nemohou být nastaveny a použity. Nicméně, Sabayon při použití Portage je vlastně "gentoo testing" a je více přizpůsobitelný, ale také více nestabilní. . .

Checking your MD5SUM
Before you attempt installing Sabayon (or any Linux distro for that matter) you should check your md5sum. "What on earth is that!?" you may ask. Well, md5sum is an ingenious algorithm which, when you run a string of data through it, will spit out a string of letters and numbers. This string will be totally and completely unique to that data. So in our case, we want to create an md5sum of the Sabayon LiveCD or LiveDVD .iso file.
Why should I go through all the trouble?
Well, when the developers create the master .iso from which all the other .iso's will be copied and distributed the developers calculate an md5sum of that .iso. They then post the results of the md5sum in the release notes. This is so you can verify if the .iso you have downloaded has not been tampered with, or has downloaded correctly.
MANY installation error are a result of folks not checking their md5sums before trying to install. Hey folks, entropy is real! Sometimes bits of a file get lost in the shuffle. Make sure your .iso file is 100% there.
So how on earth do I check this vaunted md5sum.
In Linux it could not be easier:
md5sum /path/to/file.iso
You can then compare the outcome with the official, posted md5sum to verify that you have EXACTLY the same file as lxnay created!
Remember to also verify the integrity of the LiveCD/DVD once you have burned it, to make sure that your burner didn't make any boo boos. The procedure for verifying the integrity of a LiveCD/DVD is given on the following Wiki page:
You can also use K3B to check the md5sum. This is done automatically when you chose to burn a cd or dvd iso image to disc, using this program. Then as before, check it against the published md5sum.
In the windows world? You are trying to jump into the Linuxverse? There are several programs out there for free. Here is one.[1]
Once you've installed Sabayon, be sure to check out the Package Managers and learn them
Entropy and HOWTO: The Complete Portage Guide.
Live CD Display is Compressed or Partially Viewable
When booting from the LiveCD/DVD and your display is extremely small resolution or appears to be compressed or partially viewable try booting with the following command line option:
This will give you a resolution of 1024 by 768. If you need a different resolution just change the height and width to that which you require.
Useful aliases
I have gathered information from a few sources to come up with a useful list of aliases that users may want to put into their environment.
Goes in /home/user/.bashrc
# Lists files in various ways # -l in single column format, I use this when I want to see the extra attributes about a file # the addition of 'h' shows file sizes in human readable form # the addition of 'a' shows hidden files (names starting with '.') # the addition of 'F' annotates files with addition chars # feel free to man ls for a more detailed explanation alias ll='ls -l' # or alias ll='ls -lh' alias l.='ls -a' alias ll.='ls -al' alias ls='ls -aF --color=always' # Simply renames grep to search alias search=grep # Shortcut to mount and unmount your cdrom drive # ? doesn't this happen automatically on most distros ? alias mcd='mount /mnt/cdrom' alias ucd='umount /mnt/cdrom' # Starts Midnight Commander in colored mode alias mc='mc -c' # Directory traversal # Seems SuSE used to set these by default alias ..='cd ..' alias ...='cd ../..' # Adding the -i will prompt for confirmation which can be good for new # and unexpected/annoying for more experienced users alias rm='rm -i' alias cp='cp -i' alias mv='mv -i' # Fixes wrong typing alias sl='ls' # Forces modprobe to always be verbose alias modprobe='modprobe -v' # Shows all running tasks alias pm='ps auxw | more' # Reports disk usage in human readable format alias df='df -h' # Create shortcuts to different directories # alias cda='cd /var/www/localhost/htdocs' # for some reason, sometimes cpufreqd decides to run the # CPU at max speed even though the load is 0.01. This # alias lets me see if that's happening. alias cur='sed -e "s/000$/ MHz/" < /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq' # Allows for you to search what you have typed previously alias gh='history | grep -i'

Revdep-Rebuild Woes?
Note: Revdep-Rebuild is not for Entropy systems, only for Portage. Entropy users must NEVER run this command.
In my travels of Sabayon I have come across many who have let their packages get all too out of date for a revdep-rebuild to fix. I've prepared a short script here which overrides the old revdep-rebuild with an optional update feature. You can either keep this somewhere independant of revdep-rebuild, or replace revdep-rebuild with it - it should be able to stand on its own. Look here if there's anything you'd like to know or ask about.
Editing text files as root
Some people like to have an "Edit as root" for text files in right click menu. The way for do this for konqueror is create a file ended in .desktop (example: kwrite.desktop) in /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/ with the following code inside:
[Desktop Entry] ServiceTypes=text/* Actions=EditAsRoot Encoding=UTF8 X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel [Desktop Action EditAsRoot] Name=Edit as root Icon=kwrite Exec=kdesu -u root -n --noignorebutton -c 'kwrite %U'
Tells what kind of files will be afected by this menu entry. In this case, all text files. You can open kcontrol and take a look in KDE components, file associations for see what you can add. For example, if you want to add also .desktop files (like the one we are creating!), the line will be ServiceTypes=text/*,application/x-desktop
With this line, you will see "Edit as root" when you do right click. Without that line you will see the option under submenu actions.
Existing Reiser4 partitions - CAREFUL!
First, you must install xautomation and xbindkeys from Entropy.
Next, create a text file named .xbindkeysrc and save it to your home directory. The content of the file should be:
########################### # xbindkeys configuration # ########################### # # Version: 1.8.0 # # If you edit this file, do not forget to uncomment any lines # that you change. # The pound(#) symbol may be used anywhere for comments. # # To specify a key, you can use 'xbindkeys --key' or # 'xbindkeys --multikey' and put one of the two lines in this file. # # The format of a command line is: # "command to start" # associated key # # # A list of keys is in /usr/include/X11/keysym.h and in # /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h # The XK_ is not needed. # # List of modifier: # Release, Control, Shift, Mod1 (Alt), Mod2 (NumLock), # Mod3 (CapsLock), Mod4, Mod5 (Scroll). # # The release modifier is not a standard X modifier, but you can # use it if you want to catch release events instead of press events # By defaults, xbindkeys does not pay attention with the modifiers # NumLock, CapsLock and ScrollLock. # Uncomment the lines above if you want to pay attention to them. #keystate_numlock = enable #keystate_capslock = enable #keystate_scrolllock= enable # Examples of commands: "xbindkeys_show" control+shift + q # set directly keycode (here control + f with my keyboard) "xterm" c:41 + m:0x4 # specify a mouse button "xterm" control + b:2 #"xterm -geom 50x20+20+20" # Shift+Mod2+alt + s # ## set directly keycode (here control+alt+mod2 + f with my keyboard) #"xterm" # alt + c:0x29 + m:4 + mod2 # ## Control+Shift+a release event starts rxvt #"rxvt" # release+control+shift + a # ## Control + mouse button 2 release event starts rxvt #"rxvt" # Control + b:2 + Release # dolphin go back "xte 'keydown Alt_L' 'key Right' 'keyup Alt_L'" b:9 # dolphin go forward "xte 'keydown Alt_L' 'key Left' 'keyup Alt_L'" b:8 ################################## # End of xbindkeys configuration # ##################################
Now create an autostart entry in /home/user_name/.kde4/Autostart named xbindkeys.desktop containing the following code:
[Desktop Entry] Comment[en_US]= Comment= Encoding=UTF-8 Exec=xbindkeys GenericName[en_US]= GenericName= Icon= MimeType= Name[en_US]= Name= Path= StartupNotify=false Terminal=false TerminalOptions= Type=Application Version=1.0 X-DBUS-ServiceName= X-DBUS-StartupType= X-DCOP-ServiceType= X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false X-KDE-Username= X-KDE-autostart-after=kdesktop
Now just reboot your computer and you should have back/forward mouse button functionality in Dolphin and Konqueror. This, of course can also work when running a different Desktop Environment. eg. XFCE.
Some like the XFCE looks and feel, but mainly use KDE apps. In this case, add the xbindkeys.desktop script to XFCE-settings --> session and startup. (Make sure you enable the KDE-services under the Advanced tab.)
terminal reverse search
Terminal power users already know that a log of all the commands you execute are kept in history. (Go ahead, type history to see them.)
Well, you can also search your command history as you type, using the very useful Ctrl+R key combination.
In the terminal, hold down Ctrl and press R to invoke "reverse-i-search." Type a letter - like s - and you'll get a match for the most recent command in your history that starts with s. Keep typing to narrow your match. When you hit the jackpot, press Enter to execute the suggested command.
Also, !characters will execute the last command that matches the specified characters. (So !ssh will run the last ssh you used.)
Of course good history search only works if you've got a long history. To extend the length of the history list in your terminal, add the following lines to your .bash_profile:
Once you've got your history built up, you can use this command to see what items you type in the terminal the most. (Great way to decide what aliases you need to set up.)
history|awk '{print $2}'|awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"} {print $1}'|sort|uniq -c|sort -r
The result will be a list of commands you've issued ordered by frequency. This is a fabulous way to identify what commands could use a shorter alias; for example, if I type ssh mylongservername.com 20 times a day, it's worth setting up an alias like sshg to get that done in fewer keystrokes.
alternative KDE task-manager
If you have got many tasks in your task-manager you should consider using Smooth-tasks.
This alternative task-manager allows you to just display the icons of a task thus using less space but still maintaining the ability of the user to distinguish the different tasks.
Install smooth-tasks from Entropy.
After installing and substituting it with the original task-manager, you should have a deep look at the settings since they are much broader.
One way of using the features of smooth-tasks could be to only display the icons of tasks and move the panel to the left or right of the screen. This is most useful on widescreens.
for those of you who use KDE and will be upgrading to KDE 4.8.0 when it becomes available in Entropy: If you're using the smooth-tasks widget, it seems that it does not work in KDE 4.8.0 However, there is a widget called Icon-Only Task Manager which does basically the same thing. So use that instead. When using Desktop-effects, rather than Compiz, you have to untick 'Highlight Window' (Kickoff > System Settings > Desktop Effects | 'All Effects' tab), otherwise, when you hover the mouse pointer over the icon on the Panel of a minimised window, both the window preview and the window itself are displayed while the mouse pointer is over the icon.
Install standalone fonts downloaded from the Internet
If you downloaded some fonts as standalone files (ie. somefont.ttf) you can install them in 2 ways. If you want to install them for the current user only follow these steps:
# cp somefont.ttf ~/.fonts/ # cd ~/.fonts # fc-cache
If ~/.fonts does not exists, just create it.
If you want to set the fonts up for the whole system and all the users, copy all of them in /usr/share/fonts/ and run the fc-cache command there as root.
When using Razor-qt you'll find that you can't change the menu icon like we can in KDE.
However, there is still a way to change the default icon into our nice looking Sabayon "foot" logo. :-) or whatever image you like.
For this to work, we need the commandline, a image editor, and a custom image.
So first we will need to make an image that will work with the main menu.
Next we will edit the image. You can use your preferred image editor, but in this example i will use Gimp.
In Gimp, when the image is loaded, Go to Image >> Scale Image.
Under image size make sure the width and height both are 64.
If you put 64 in one and the other changes click on the chain to the right.
Next, click File>Save As... and change the name to: mainmenu.png
Then click on: Select File Type (By Extension) and scroll down to .png and save it in your home directory or wherever you like.
Now we need to backup the existing menu image. Open the terminal, and become root by entering "su", followed with the "root" password. backup the existing menu image:
# cp /usr/share/razor/themes/light/mainmenu.png /usr/share/razor/themes/light/backup.mainmenu.png
Replace light with your current theme but light is default. Then we will need to copy the image you made to that directory. In this example, i saved the image to my Desktop:
# cp /home/username/Desktop/mainmenu.png /usr/share/razor/themes/light/
That's all. After log out and back in, you should have a nice picture of your choice as your Menu icon.
Learning to work with the VI (VIM) editor
For those who like to learn working with the VI editor, but can't find proper documentation, or doesn't understand the manpage or help function:
VI has a build-in tutor., that will learn you in a interactive way, the ins and outs of VI.
instead of run vi or vim, run:
# vimtutor
at the commandline, and follow the instructions.
While running "vimtutor", you are actually already running VI. Enjoy learning :-)

With the announcement of the list price for the Chevy Volt ($41,000 before tax breaks), the time has never been better to constructively talk about the electric infrastructure that will fuel the Volt and the electric cars of the future. The Volt joins other mass-produced electric models that are starting to hit the market, including the Nissan Leaf and the Tesla.
What makes the electric car so tantalizing is that it can run on clean energy, and be responsible for far fewer emissions than traditional gas-powered vehicles. The electricity that we use to power electric cars could come from wind, solar, hydroelectric, or nuclear energy, and never make a substantial contribution to carbon emissions. Even if the electricity comes from coil and gas power plants, it is still more environmentally friendly than combustion engines, because centrally-generated power is more efficient.
While the question of where we will fuel these cars is tantamount, the question all-too-often glossed over is how to best fuel these cars. We can measure fuel efficiency for gas-powered vehicles only by miles per gallon. However, the electric car's efficiency can be measured not only by how many miles it travels per volt, but also how efficient it is at utilizing the electric grid from which it receives its charge.
The idea for a smart charge has been formally proposed on General Electric's Ecomagination Challenge, which is a $200 million competition to find the best new ideas on how to create, connect, and use a better electric grid.
"Charging electric cars at night is cheaper and cleaner than during the day because energy demand is lower. But what if you drive more in a day than your battery's range? Software anticipates when you need power based on your driving habits and manages recharging."
I encourage all of my readers to both check out the ideas and vote for this particular one because it exemplifies the ideals of the Transit Pass (registration and voting will take approximately 1 minute total).
A number of products already allow consumers and property owners to observe their electricity and other utility usage. However, while these products may help people and institutions lower usage, they do not help advance efficient use. The proposed idea would allow car users to fuel their cars most efficiently.
The software would help car users to fuel their cars at times when energy demand is lowest (typically at certain times at night) as well as how to make the most of mid-day re-charges. This would be a boon both to the consumer as well as our overall energy use and overtaxed grid. By charging when overall electricity demand is lowest, it takes some pressure off the grid during the day and allows electric companies to generate kilowatts on a more consistent basis over time.
This is important not only to the individual electric car owner but also to institutional users such as car-sharing services like Zipcar and fleet owners who could implement electric vehicles such as the postal service and other delivery companies, police departments, taxi services, and other governmental entities.
Companies and drivers would benefit from the device as they could potentially re-charge at a a cheaper price if kilowatt usage is based on time and demand. Likewise, utility providers benefit from insuring that their grid will not be swamped at the worst times of day.
Again, I encourage you all to vote for a great idea. It is a small device that could have a big impact on the success of America's utilization of electric vehicles, the diminishing demand for foreign oil, and a way of insuring that our fragile electric grid not only stays safe, but potentially improves.

Story highlights
- Prosecutors say the man and woman followed faith-healing doctrines
- An infant son died in April, with authorities saying the parents didn't seek medical help
- A 2-year-old son died under similar circumstances in 2009
- The parents were on probation in that earlier death, and were to get help for their sick kids
Parents already on court notice to provide medical care for their children have been charged with third-degree murder in the death of their infant son, Philadelphia authorities announced Wednesday
Herbert and Catherine Shaible's son, Brandon, died April 18 from dehydration and bacterial pneumonia. But his death was ruled a homicide by the Philadelphia medical examiner's office because the Shaibles -- purportedly followers of a faith-healing doctrine -- did not seek medical help for the sick infant, authorities said.
In addition to third-degree murder, the couple was also charged with involuntary manslaughter, conspiracy, and endangering the welfare of a child, Philadelphia district attorney Seth Williams announced Wednesday afternoon at a press conference.
In April the couple admitted to police that their son began displaying symptoms of illness several days before his death but instead of contacting a doctor they chose to pray for him, "and ultimately called a funeral director," according to Williams.
The couple already was on probation after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the 2009 death of their 2-year-old son, Kent, who also died after the Shaibles refused to get medical attention as the child suffered bacterial pneumonia.
One condition of their 10-year probation was a requirement that they seek medical attention and follow medical advice if any of their children were to get sick in the future, First Assistant District Attorney Ed McCann said at the press conference.
Joanne Pescatore, who previously prosecuted the Shaibles in 2009 stated that the circumstances of that case were "eerily similar" to this one.
"To say that I was upset would be an understatement," Pescatore said, "I knew at their sentencing that they were not going to follow the judge's instructions."
Pescatore said that she argued for a prison sentence in the earlier case but the judge didn't feel it was appropriate.
According to McCann, the Shaibles were members of the First Century Gospel Church. Calls to the church were not immediately returned.
The church's website quotes one particular biblical passage that states, "By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name, and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see."
The Shaibles have at least two other children who were taken into the custody of Philadelphia's Department of Human Services following the death of Brandon in April. DHS would not comment on the children or the Shaibles' situation.
McCann stated that because the parents refused to follow the judge's prior orders to seek medical treatment for a sick child and given that this was the second death in the family, the district attorney's office felt a murder charge was appropriate.
Attorney Mythri Annapoorna Jayaraman, who confirmed she is representing the Shaibles, had no comment to CNN Wednesday.
The couple has not yet been arraigned and bail had not been set Wednesday, but McCann said prosecutors will be requesting a bail they believe will be high enough to detain both of them.

Danielle Staub, a star of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," is currently mourning the death of her mother, Ruth Merrill, without the support of her Bravo co-stars.
"We know how they feel about me," Danielle told People of the lack of condolences from her fellow "Housewives." "They weren't my friends before the show, they weren't friends with me on the show, and they won't be friends with me when the show has come and gone. I don't expect them to reach out to me. I would actually be shocked. I would prefer not to have people be fake around me."
Danielle said her late mother is featured in the upcoming season of the hit Bravo series that begins on May 3.
"She's on the show a little bit, she's definitely a voice of reason with me," she explained. "She was a sweet woman, she adopted me, I was her miracle. She was one of the most energetic women. She was a very religious woman, a God-fearing woman."
Ruth passed away on March 21 following a stroke in Athens, Penn. A funeral was held on Thursday.
She was 75.

Time logged in?
what determines how long I am logged in at TFL? Some times it seems I am left logged in for hours and other times, it seems just minutes and I have to log back in. I am on continuous high speed cable net. I do not close my browser. I run a couple open tabs so I can leave TFL up and open. Often I can surf elsewhere and return and still be logged in and other times... not so lucky?
You mods glad this wasn't a "WHY CAN'T I SELL MY PEESTOLE MEESTER?" thread

Generally, if you logged in without checking off the "Remember Me" function, you will have to log back in after 20 minutes of no activity.
If you have the "Remember Me" function checked, then you are still logged out after 20 minutes of no activity.
The only difference if that if you have a window or tab opened on TFL and you come back to it (after the 20 minute time period), the system recognizes you and you can proceed without doing anything else. However, your "Last Visited" stat will show the last time you were on, before you were autologged out.
In the case that you wrote about, I have no idea why you have to log in sometimes and not other times. Could be that you are just special, Brent?
You sure you are not refreshing a window or tab, while doing other things? A refresh restarts the timer.

Al Roker and Mayor de Blasio shook hands Monday on NBC's "Today" show after the weatherman recently criticized the mayor for keeping public schools open during a snowstorm.
De Blasio appeared on the morning show to cut the ribbon for a new set in Rockefeller Plaza. Afterward, he gave Roker a city Sanitation Department hat and offered to let him help plow the roads for the next snowstorm.
"I think together letting people know what's going on with the weather, letting people know how to be safe, that's something we can do together," de Blasio said.
U.S. & World
Roker blasted the mayor and the city Feb. 13 for keeping schools open amid a nor'easter that dumped several inches of snow. Roker also forecast "one term" for de Blasio, but apologized on "Today" the following morning.
On Monday, Roker said he'd love to help the city's plow drivers clear the roads for the next snowfall, expected this week.
"My father was a bus driver and he used to drive a snow-clearing bus, so I'd love to do it," Roker said.
After they went off air, the two sealed the end of their feud by taking a selfie, and de Blasio tweeted a photo of them taking it.

Edit the /opt/bitnami/apps/phppgadmin/conf/httpd-app.conf file and add the following lines outside the Directory directive.
<Location /phppgadmin> AuthType Basic AuthName phpPgAdmin AuthUserFile "/opt/bitnami/apache2/users" Require valid-user </Location>
Change or set the phpPgAdmin access password using the following command and replacing PASSWORD with the new password:
$ sudo /opt/bitnami/apache2/bin/htpasswd -cb /opt/bitnami/apache2/users administrator PASSWORD
Restart Apache to have the changes take effect:
$ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache
Now, when accessing phpPgAdmin, users will be prompted to log in twice: first, with the username administrator and second, with the username postgres. The password for the first is the one set in the second step above. The password for the second can be obtained from the server launchpad or control panel.
