The truth is, once I had our Little Bird, my life basically got turned upside down. She is 10 months old today, and I'm just starting to feel like life is normal again. I don't really even know if people are still visiting my blog. I know once I had Little Bird, my online time drastically decreased. In case any of you all are still around, here's what's been going on around here:
Little Bird was on her apnea monitor for about 3 months. They never really said what caused her ALTE, but the more I reflect on it, the more I'm convinced that she was choking on mucous and couldn't clear it and so stopped breathing for a bit. She is a very healthy 15 pound crawler now. :)
Our little foster daughter Mimi (18 months) is VERY close to being our forever daughter. I don't wanna be overly optimistic, but I'd say another month and she'll be officially ours. At that point I look forward to sharing her story and her name (we got to rename her) with my readers!
We are still homeschooling! Did you really think we'd ever change that?! ;) We are using My Father's World and we are enjoying that. I did recently change Little Bean (age 7) to Teaching Textbooks. He tested into the 4th grade program, but rest assured he is NOT a 7 year old fourth grader all around. He excels in some areas and he needs alot of improvement in others. Miss O (6) is the same way. She is reading at a 3rd grade level in the Amish Pathway readers, but is "behind" in math. We just switched her to Christian Light Education for math and are repeating 1st grade math (she is nearly done with Right Start's 1st grade book).
We have four kids, and for someone like me, that's large. So it's been quite an adjustment! Hence, the lack of blogging. Actually, this past 10 months has been a lack of much of anything for us. We pulled the kids out of boy scouts and American Heritage Girls and 4-H. We made it to family reunion and down to Tulsa for holidays, but it's hard. I love my family though, and YES I want more children. Now, whether that's through natural means or adoption or both, who knows! Once Mimi is adopted, we plan to be respite providers for the foster kids in our agency for a while, then eventually switch to emergency foster care, and then probably back to regular foster care. And now that things are calming down, I am considering a homeschool co-op for next fall.
One thing the Lord's been speaking to me personally about is biblical womanhood. I started thinking about what a godly woman should look and act like. I think it may be somewhat different for everyone. But I'm learning that God has given us women some wonderful guidelines in his word about this subject as well as biblical women to look up to and emulate. And I have been feeling blessed as my eyes are opened and my heart is changing when it comes to this subject. More to come about that.
I'll leave you all with that! I hope someone reads this, lol! I know I've missed interacting with my readers since I left so long ago!

The regulator wants to ensure savers in workplace pension schemes are getting the best value for money, given the avalanche of money it expects to rush into these scheme over the next few years.
The decision follows a campaign by the Telegraph to expose the high level of fees charged by the financial services industry on funds.
With the introduction of auto-enrolment, there will be an increase in the value of annual pension contributions of £11bn by 2018.
Currently four million people save into "defined contribution" (DC) pension schemes, where savers' money is invested and the final pot is dependent on returns after charges.
The Government wants to dramatically increase this figure to plug a colossal gap in the amount being saved for retirement compared with what will be needed to provide a decent standard of living.
The mass closure of final salary schemes, where companies carry the risk of investment performance, has exacerbated the problem.
The number of "active" pension savers in the UK fell from 12.2 million at the peak in 1967 to 8.2 million in 2011, according to the Office for National Statistics.
Auto-enrolment has been hailed as the answer, with backed calling it the biggest pensions revolution since David Lloyd George ushered in state pensions more than a century ago. The scheme, where employees are automatically included but have to ask to opt-up, began in October for companies with 120,000 or more workers, with smaller firms gradually being enrolled over six years.
The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) is concerned that with the vast increase in volumes being saved into pensions that these new savers would benefit from low cost, high quality pension schemes.
The market report will investigate competition between pension providers, whether there is sufficient pressure on pension providers to keep charges low, and how transparent these charges are to savers.
As auto-enrolment will in time effect smaller companies too, the study will also look at whether small firms are properly equipped to offer fair and successful pension schemes. The OFT said it would be working closely with the Department of Work and Pensions, the Pensions Regulator and the Financial Services Authority and during the investigation.
How active private pension scheme membership has fallen
The decline of final salary schemes (defined benefit) has undermined pension saving overall
Mary Starks, a senior director at the OFT, said: "The UK workplace pensions market is set for rapid growth and change over the next six years, in particular with the introduction of automatic enrolment. It is important that these savers get a good deal.
"We want to take a look at the market now to ensure that providers are competing to offer the best possible deals, and that the choices made by employers mean that employees are saving into good pension schemes for their retirement."
The financial services industry admitted that Britons are "often very suspicious of pensions", a view it wants to shift.
Joanne Segars, chief executive of the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF), said: "People are often very suspicious of pensions, but that perception needs to change if our society is to save enough for its old age. Millions of people will get a new workplace pension under the much-needed auto-enrolment reforms, and they need to have more confidence in the product. There is no point bringing them into a pension that they do not trust.
"The OFT study is a useful initiative and part of a growing focus questioning whether pensions can offer more value to savers. Charges and annuities are a particular concern, and we hope the OFT sheds some light on these issues, which can make a huge difference to a pensioner's income. The market is changing and charges have fallen over the years, but there is still further to go to ensure people get the best possible value from a pension."
The industry has made attempts to try and deflect criticism. Last week, the UK's largest pension providers promised to disclose the full costs to employees in workplace pension schemes. The members of the Association of British Insurers (ABI), including Aviva, Prudential and Standard Life have pledged to clearly and consistently reveal the pension charges to savers in the future.
The ABI, which represents most of the major pension companies, said it was looking forward to working with the OFT "to ensure that their study is complete and well-informed".
ABI director general Otto Thoresen said: "The pensions environment is changing dramatically and with auto-enrolment set to bring millions of workers into pension savings the OFT's market study into workplace pensions is timely.
"Rising life expectancy makes the need to reduce the UK's savings gap more important than ever, and the success of auto-enrolment is crucial to this."
Tom McPhail, head of pensions research at Hargreaves Lansdown, a private pensions provider, said he was concerned that the OFT investigation may focus only on price, without looking at important aspects of pensions such as quality of administration, stability and crucially, "member engagement" - getting people to save in the first place.
"Without good member engagement it is unrealistic to expect good outcomes from DC pensions; any investigation which looks only at price without considering whether the services provided actually deliver good outcomes will only be looking at half the equation," he said.
Steven Cameron, head of regulatory strategy at Aegon, welcomed the investigation's focus on smaller firms. "We're pleased to see OFT will also examine if smaller firms receive help and advice. Advisers play a key role and we have concerns regulation is making it harder for them to help such employers. Advisers also encourage greater employer engagement which is particularly key as we progress with auto enrolment," he said.
The investigation is expected to take six months. The OFT will then decide whether to recommend an investigation by the Competition Commission.

Editorial .. .
The Spire _ is out and the awards and
recognitions of a job well done have already
been made. There was one who was not
present to receive recognition in yester-day's
chapel, namely the Spire editor, Ed
Having our offices next to each other
we observed Ed as he spent many hours
planning for what he wanted to be the best
Spire possible. His effort from beginning to
end was backed by his firm conviction
that once a Christian Bethel student accept-ed
the responsibility in extra-curricular
work he should not falter from giving his
best to it.
We say without question that Ed lived
up to his conviction. If it could ever be
possible perhaps Ed did too good a job of
"sticking to it" for it was at the expense
of seminary studies that he did his job.
Having to reduce course work was a "neces-sary
thing" and not what Ed wanted nor
would consider right. The point is, how-ever,
that at personal sacrifice a job was
done because of a conviction that it was
the Christian thing to complete a job in the
best way possible. Ed would be the first
to transfer a "glory" to his fine staff, and
it is not our purpose to compare one against
the other. To both Ed and his staff we give
our thanks for their hard work and express
our appreciation for a book full of memor-ies
of the by-gone 1951-52 school year.
When you think of it, it isn't much that
we are able to help someone else take the
gospel where we can not. Ought it not be
expected of us too? Will two dollars be a
real sacrifice from each student for our
missionary offering? For some, surely, and
if for all, then let us make a sacrifice. Not
that we HAVE to meet a goal—but that in
meeting the goal we meet something great-er,
the need of a more effective gospel wit-ness
on the mission fields.
"The Big Night"
by Mary Radunz
T'was May Sixteenth
And a quarter to five,
And in the girl's dorm,
It was like a bee-hive.
There were girls running here
And girls running there,
Pressing their formals
And combing their hair
One of them shouted,
"Pat, may I borrow your purse,"
Another complained,
"My hair just couldn't look worse!"
The showers were busy
And so was the tub.
I'm sure that you've never
Seen such a hub-bub!
Time moved steadily on
—The first buzzer rang.
A girl jumped to her feet
—In her heart was a pang.
Soon others were ringing
—No time now to waste.
The last-minute fixings
Were done with great haste.
T'was May sixteenth,
Time, five fifty-three,
And in the girl's dorm,
It was as still as could be.

each other", then by all means they should
have prayer together. Prayer will weld to-gether
their companionship into a more
solid bond, it will smooth over points of
friction, it will deepen their love for each
other. A commonly heard statement is this:
"A husband and wife who pray together,
stay together." Divorces almost never oc-cur
in families where God is thus honored.
There may be some, however, who will
object to this viewpoint by protesting, "Isn't
God left out of the picture if we don't have
prayer on dates?" In answer to this let me
say, "Do your praying at home before you
go on the date." Every one of us ought to
kneel in prayer before a date, to ask God's
blessing upon it and to requist His guid-ance.
After you return home you may want
to pray again, offering a word of thanks
to the Lord and asking once again for
His guidance. Truly God will be honored
in this way.
Thus to sum up the whole matter, it is
my opinion that a couples should not have
prayer together on dates until they have
discovered, through a series of dates, that
they are a suitable match for each other,
and are reasonably sure that they are
"meant for each other". Then by all means
they should have prayer together, and God
will add His blessing to their friendship.

In the realm of physics, inertia is the
name given to the tendency of an object or
thing to keep on doing what it is doing—
whether it be in a state of rest or of mo-tion.
In life we tend to keep on doing what
we are doing. An act tends to initiate a
habit, and a habit tends to crystallize into
character. We cannot change quickly—eas-ily.
Habits of study and of daily living be-come
pretty much our personality. "Studia
abeunt in mores." Studies are transmuted
into character.
We will be tomorrow and ten years from
now pretty much what we are today. We
will tend to continue in the same general
direction unless some power from within
or without brings about a change.
We may recall in early schooldays plac-ing
some iron filings on a sheet of paper—
lying about without form or pattern. We
brought a magnet underneath the paper
and the disordered filings leaped into a
definite pattern, and each became a magnet
with a north and south pole.
Last summer I was at the Water Street
Mission in New York, where hundreds of
lives have been transformed. There they
were, derelicts adrift—colorless, powerless,
directionless and purposeless. The Great
Magnet drew nigh and all was changed
Magnet drew nigh and all was changed.
The life program leaped into pattern and
into eternal purpose.
Oliver Cromwell as a young man wrote

he discovered the source of power in the

We are closing another wonderful year
at Bethel. Has it been a wonderful year
for you? Can you say with a great Christ-ian
of yesterday; "There is not a moment
of the day or night that I am not conscious
of another Person who is closer to me than
mine own brain, and nearer than the beat-ing
of mine own heart."
Windy City Weekend
by Carolyn Clark
Friday, May 9: Dear Diary. Here we are
in Kenosha, the first stop of our Chapel
Choir trip to Chicago. Four of us are stay-ing
together tonight and what fun it is!
With Ruth Sheet's enthusiasm about this
bursting metropolis and that surprise visit
from Ken and Roger, we've had quite an
evening. Well, we leave at 6:30 tomorrow,
so to bed.
Saturday, May 10. Dear Diary: Before
our half-hour broadcast at 11:00 this morn-ing
over WMBI, we visited the beautiful
Conference headquarters building. It was
nice to see where our Conference men
work. In spite of being pressed for time
prior to the broadcast, it went without mis-hap.
I always get a thrill as the last few
seconds tick away on the clock, the red
light flashes, and we're on the air.
This afternoon found us at the Museum
of Science and Industry. The two and a
half hours there wearied our legs but en-riched
our knowledge tremendously.
Monday, May 12: Dear Diary: Yesterday
was a big day with three concerts. We
ate dinner at Moody. We're in Rockford
tonight; the concert was good. Our Grey-hound
Broadcasting Company was busy to-day.
Such radio programs as we have on
the bus. After our brief but pleasant stoy
at Wheaton, Harris and his staff carried on
the program. "Moments with Milt" (Sec-onds
in the Slough) seems to be most popu-lar.
And Johnny and Auntie Barby really
are a hit with their hillbilly numbers.
Tuesday, May 13: Dear Diary: Home
again after having six wonderful concerts.
The Lord really blessed. Now that this
weekend is over, I just wonder if Wally
will be as con-jean-ial (five foot two blond!).
And I wonder about Nettie getting her
daily CAL-isthenics (Peterson, that is.) All
in all, it was a wonderful trip. Can't wait
till June—California, here we come! !
The question for discussion this time
is: "Should couples have prayer together
on dates?"
In answer to this question let me quote
a statement made by my psychology pro-fessor,
at a former college: "Prayer exerts
an emotional force, which binds people to-gether."
I am sure you will all agree that
this is true—prayer stirs your emotions,
and you feel strangely drawn into a more
intimate relationship with the person with
whom you have prayed.
Now let me ask you this: "Is it right for
two people on a date to allow themselves
to become emotionally attached to each
other, before they have discovered whether
or not they are suited for each other in
other respects?" I am sure you will agree
that to do so would possibly bring together
two people who are not at all suited for
each other. Emotions are often an unstable
and temporary thing. Lasting friendships
are built upon more solid foundations, such
as companionship, mutual interests, com-mon
ideals, similar goals in life, cultural
backgrounds that are more or less the
same, and so on.
Now after a couple have gone with each
other long enough to discover that they
match favorably in these respects, and are
reasonably sure that they are "meant for

Should You Pray?

Vacation Variety

"Oh, Boy! I can hardly wait!" "What for? That big date next week, or—
"Neither, I can hardly wait to get started carrying out my plans for this summer.
Yes, I'm sure that many of us feel the same way. Although we are sorry to have
the school year end, at the same time, we are looking forward to fulfilling all of our
summer plans and dreams.
Many students will be working to earn money for school next year. Some will be
in full-time christian service as DVBS teachers or student pastors. Others will just
be enjoying the summer and resting after a hard, laborious school year.
Bob Hilton will probably be doing a little of all three. He will be working on a
construction job in Oxnard, California. At the same time, he will be holding revival
meetings at the First Baptist Churches of Sanger and Fresno, also in California.
Pat Noland will be taking typing in a summer school—so she can get a "respect-able

Union Leader Urges Protestant
Support of Labor In Address Here
A local labor leader made a plea before interested history and
political science students for the protestant churches to give more active
support to labor.
He pointed to examples of the Catholic church having priests "in
the picket lines" as against what he termed a "lack of active support
by protestant ministers and churches."
Earl Drang, business agent for
several local C.I.O. unions, spoke
on campus Thursday, May 15. He
was invited to give the story of
labor unions before the Social and
economic history class. Drang gave
a history of unions and illustrated
what the union is doing today for
the relief of labor.
As part of Drang's answer to his
own question—Are labor unions
corrupt?—he said that most of the
corruptness lies with several lead-ers
of various unions locally and
otherwise, but that the member-ship
is not corrupt. "Labor prob-ably
wouldn't be so corrupt," he Foreign Missions:

All State College Track Meet Proposed

Open to All State Colleges
Intramural softball winds up the
schedule this week. The season,
marked by the absence of games
played, will go down as one of the
leanest of schedules in IM in the
last few years.
Due to several factors, the teams
were halted in their softball act-ivities
after a quick start several
weeks ago. The Male Chorus trip
and the rush of the final weeks of
school seem to be the main rea-sons
for the curtailment of games.
The last three scheduled games
will involve a new revamped team,
made up of members of three

Wisconsin teams have not ...had

outstanding performer for Bethel,
winning three events, placing third
in another, and running on the
winning mile relay team.
Al Christenson took two firsts
for Bethel, one in pole vault and
the other in the 220 dash, plus a
second in the 100 yard dash. Chuck

Bethel won their first game of
the year on May 19 as they split
a double-header with Bethany of
Mankato on the Como diamond.
Bethel took the first, 8-7, while
dropping the second, 19-13.
Both teams wasted little time in
scoring in the first contest, Bethel
scoring twice on four hits, and
Bethany scoring four times on five
blows. The Indians evened the
score in the second frame, scoring
twice on three hits.

Bethel hit well in the contest,
but were unable to convert the
hits into runs. The Indians pound-ed
out 14 hits, including a home

homer was one of the longest hits
of the season, the ball traveling
far beyond the outfielders.
Bethany scored their 19 runs off
15 hits. Hams pitched the entire
game for the Mankato team while
Stan Lindgren started and was re-lieved
by Ristow for Bethel.

of interested spectators. The game
was decided by only one run, 16-15.
Unable to score a revenge vic-tory
on May 15, the Bethel team
went down for the second time,
19-12. This contest was played on
the Northwestern grounds.
The 1952 team had good material
in the personnel of the group, how-ever
lacked organization and show-ed
evidence of need of more prac-tice
time. The girls hope to have
a coach next year to line up games
as well as to direct better prac-tice
sessions and to organize gen-erally.
This years team included:
Catchers: Jan McKinney, Fern
Pitchers: Jean Frykenberg, Mer-ilyn

Bev Shade.
First Base: Audrey Samuelson.
Second Base: Bernice Nelson,
Shirley Anderson.
Third Base: Nettie Dvirnak, Mar-ilyn
Shortstop: Pat Lampion.
Fielders: Joyce Martinson, Ruth
The positions on the team chang-ed
from time to time. Most girls
played several positions because of
substitution rules which state:
When a girl was taken off the
field, she could not re-enter the
game. However, the players could
switch positions while on the field.
Comets Blast Bethel
Concordia blasted Bethel 26-4 on
the winners field on May 12. Three
big innings, (9 run first, 12 run
fourth, 3 run fifth) provided most
of the damage for the Comets.

two runs. Outside of this inning,
the Indians were unable to hit.
Meanwhile, Northwestern ganged

A track contest to determine a champion of all Minnesota col-leges,
as well as individual champions, is in the making for next
year. The track meet, suggested by coaches in a get together after
the St. Thomas Invitational Meet, seemed to meet with general approval.
However, final approval is up to
the two leagues in the state as
well as individual schools. The
Minnesota College Conference and
the Minnesota State Teachers Col-lege
Conference would have to give
their sanction to the meet.
If the meet were scheduled, it
would include all the teams in the
two conferences mentioned, as well
as the two independent colleges
in Minnesota, Bethel and North-western.
Site of the meet would
be determined later.
Many times, speculation as to
the best team in the state as well
as the best individuals in a certain
event has been put forth, but noth-ing
ever was settled. Under the
proposition put forth, with compe-tition
from all schools, the issues
would be settled in a final way.
In an article in the St. Paul
Dispatch, the sports staff thought
the idea a fine one, but gave the
idea that the University of Minne-sota
should be included in the
meet. This would undoubtedly be
the stiffest meet ever staged in the

"Snow White Must Die" by Nele Neuhaus; Minotaur (374 pages, $24.99)
"Snow White Must Die" by Nele Neuhaus; Minotaur (374 pages, $24.99)
An exciting residual of the popularity of Stieg Larsson's dragon-tattooed girl is that international crime fiction has become more attractive and accessible to U.S. publishers and readers.
"Snow White Must Die" by German author Nele Neuhaus quickly became a best-seller in Europe when it was released in 2010. It is just now being published in the United States and its engrossing plot, intriguing characters and unpredictable twists should make it a rival for the acclaim that Larsson and other Scandinavian authors have amassed.
Although translated into English from German, the adaptation seems flawless. "Snow White Must Die" is a powerful psychological tale of how the murder of two teenage girls a decade ago continues to reverberate through a small community. It is a story of greed, gossip, hatred and revenge, of lives ruined and of extreme cruelty.
More than 11 years ago, two teenage girls vanished from the close-knit German village of Altenhain. Although their bodies were never found, 20-year-old Tobias Sartorius was convicted on circumstantial evidence. Now released after 10 years in prison, Tobias' return to his hometown is anything but smooth. Unknown to him, his parents have separated, his father's once thriving bar and restaurant are shuttered and their farm is in tatters. The entire community has ostracized Tobias' family and now turns its venom on him, despite his only allies — the town's wealthiest man and a famous actress who was a childhood friend.
Police detectives Pia Kirchhoff and Oliver von Bodenstein become involved when Tobias' mother is attacked and thrown from a bridge. Although they believe him guilty, the two detectives begin an independent investigation into Tobias' case.
"Snow White Must Die" moves at a brisk clip, delivering a gripping universal story. While Neuhaus includes myriad details that are unique to Germany, "Snow White Must Die" could easily have taken place in any small town in America."
Snow White Must Die" is storytelling at its best.

THE GOOD NEWS is federal crop insurance does cover lost production due to an outbreak of soybean rust. The bad news is if growers do not spray rust-infected soybean fields, they may not be able to collect insurance money on the lost yield, according to the Coarse Grains Crop Provisions outlined by the USDA Risk Management Agency (RMA).
What happens if there just aren't enough sprayers available? Shirley Pugh, RMA director of public affairs, says, "If you have done everything that you possibly can and you still can't get your crop sprayed, you are covered." However, growers need to be prepared to prove that they have made every possible effort to get the crop sprayed.
Pugh says a soybean producer should notify his crop insurance agent at the first sign that he is not going to be able to perform good farming practices, such as the inability to spray his crop because he cannot find a sprayer. "But if you are the only grower in your county who says he couldn't get a sprayer when everybody else got their soybeans sprayed, you may get some questions about that," she says.
"If a farmer chooses not to apply fungicides just because he thinks it costs too much and he is speculating he would make more money by letting the crop die and collecting the insurance, it will not be a covered loss if there are sufficient control measures available," Pugh cautions. The RMA and insurance providers will be monitoring when outbreaks occur in an area to determine if an insured producer could have applied recommended fungicides in a timely manner.
"So regardless of the cost of the fungicide, if that is what is recommended to you by your local experts, and that is what everyone else in your area is doing, then that is what you have to do, regardless of the cost," Pugh says. "If you want to collect insurance on any losses, you will have to have followed the recommendations."

my sincerest apologies if i inadvertently appeared to be a scam by not claiming funds via PayPal - i forgot you had to do that. i cannot thank you all enough for flinging a few quid this way here and there (or a whole lot of quid, as it may be) - i literally have nothing right now and it's fucking amazing to suddenly have even a little bit of funds for food and fags. i am kind of a massive burden on my parents and it sucks to live in someone's spare room and not even be able to feed yourself.
on the benefits front, i duly applied, sent lots of data and got a nice letter in the post. dear hacker, we cannot pay you benefits. it doesn't even say why - under the "why" section it just says "we cannot pay you". i don't even know if i'm eligible for some other shit, or what - the guy on the phone sure as hell didn't think i was. i guess i'm gonna have to find a way into the nearest city to get to a physical job centre or something, i dunno.

Earl Weaver had to be perfect.
He wouldn't have it any other way.
Since learning of his election in March, Weaver dreamed of the afternoonwhen he would join the immortals of baseball in the Hall of Fame. He spent thefollowing months writing and rewriting his speech -- rehearsing it "at least100 times."
Weaver paced back and forth in the minutes leading up to 2: 30 p.m.yesterday, bubbling over with nervous energy and counting down the momentsuntil the ceremonies started.
Weaver was going to stand before his St. Louis boyhood heroes Enos Slaughter and Stan Musial, thousands of fans and 31 other Hall of Famers, andthe speech had to be perfect.
No excessive emotional displays. No mistakes. The same expectations Weaverset for his players during the 17 years he managed in Baltimore.
But before Weaver could speak, the fans took over. Chants of"O-R-I-O-L-E-S" rang out. Others screamed, "We love you, Earl." Weaver almostchoked up.
"Please don't make me cry now," Weaver said. "I don't want to cry. Thankyou, thank you."
Then Weaver explained how he felt.
"I have a tremendous feeling of humility, and this comes from the factthat I am standing in front of the greatest baseball players and baseballpeople who ever lived," Weaver said.
"From the time I was real young right to this day, these were the people Ilooked up to, idolized and worshiped. How could any baseball fan not behumbled to be included in this group of gentlemen? Believe me, it'soverwhelming."
Weaver was driven to perfection as a manager and had just one losingseason in Baltimore, his last in 1986. He was voted Manager of the Year threetimes. Weaver is one of three managers to post three consecutive 100-winseasons, and his .583 winning percentage is ninth all-time.
He managed six Cy Young Award winners and Hall of Famers Brooks Robinson,Frank Robinson, Reggie Jackson and Jim Palmer, who all sat behind their oldmanager on the stage yesterday overlooking a smattering of fans decked out inOrioles' orange and black.
Weaver, who turns 66 next week, said he began trembling on stage when hethought about the legends of the game sitting back there, but even then hedidn't shed a tear.
He went on to thank the Orioles organization, including former generalmanager Harry Dalton, who offered Weaver his first managing job. Weaverthanked his players and coaches for helping him reach the pinnacle of baseballsuccess. He even praised the umpires, who were most often the target ofWeaver's temper.
Weaver, the 13th manager inducted into the Hall, reserved special thanksfor his family.
"I'll tell you, it really gets you when you start talking about thefamily," Weaver said after the ceremonies concluded. "Leaving your wife athome, missing the kids' graduations and proms. Those are the things you weresorry about."
His son, Mike Weaver, one of 22 family members present, said he understoodthe sacrifices his father had to make for his career.
"I'm one of the proudest people in the world," Mike Weaver said. "Heworked so hard for so many years, not only in Baltimore, but in the minorleagues. He's so deserving of this. I'm just so proud. Proud is the word."
A special bond between Weaver and the Orioles fans also was evident at theceremonies, where Jim Bunning, Bill Foster and turn-of-the-century Oriolesmanager Ned Hanlon also were inducted.
Busloads of Baltimoreans made the 350-mile trip, many of them wearingold-style Orioles jerseys and caps from Weaver's era. Weaver T-shirts with hisNo. 4 were on the chests of fans throughout the crowd.
Grandparents and grandchildren played catch in the huge stretch of grassreserved for fans. Many fans sprawled out on Orioles blankets, and Oriolesumbrellas created shade from the sun.
"Earl led the Orioles when I was just getting into baseball," said EdLawrence, who was born and raised in Baltimore. "He was our manager, and wewon. He represents Oriole baseball. He's the best we had."
Weaver, introduced yesterday as "The Earl of Baltimore," closed his speechby acknowledging the fans and the city he called home for parts of threedecades.
"Let me tell you I'm proud of my record. I'm proud of the fact that I waseven considered to be in the Hall of Fame, let alone voted in. And I'm proudof the fact that I spent my whole major-league career in one city. I wouldlike to thank the wonderful fans of Baltimore for letting me stay."
Again the fans erupted, smothering Weaver in cheers. He never slipped up,he never broke down and Weaver was in the Hall of Fame.

kac_eyes_antiwall 1 disables footsteps
After setting kac_eyes_antiwall to 1, the ESP-Wallhack I tried didn't worked correctly anymore, that's fine. But a secondary effect of this is that it disables the footsteps of players in situations where you can't see them but hear them, because KAC filters out the player position. You can only hear the footsteps of Players that the wh shows.
Please tell me if my English is not correct. I'm not a native speaker, but I want to learn that language as good as possible.

General DescriptionThe TS40 conforms to the specifications of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) set forth in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Using the latest advances in LED technology, the TS40 employs a set of synchronized high-intensity LEDs to extend the range of visibility of the sign during the day or night. Furthermore, the LEDs are flashed, which increases driver awareness of the sign.
Why Our Signs are Better
High Visibility
• Type IX reflective sheeting provides outstanding reflective brightness, day or night.
• High intensity LEDs extend the visibility of the sign under all weather conditions.
Superior Performance
• Low power LED technology reduces system power consumption and operating cost.
Outstanding Durability
• Highway grade .080 aluminum construction provides resistance to corrosion.• The use of highway grade Type IX sheeting helps to maintain long term reflectivity.• Stainless steel security fasteners and Tufnut mounting hardware included to keep the sign secure.
• Signs are weatherproof to prevent outside elements from entering the internal casing.
Features• MUTCD section 2A.07 and 2A.08 compliant.
• High visibility, low power consumption.
• Fast, easy installation, low maintenance.
• Field adjustable LED flashing duration (30 seconds standard).
• Vandal-resistant mounting hardware included.
• Optional battery backup, not affected by local grid power outages, 12 day autonomy (flashing 24/7).
FHWA Report:
Embedded LEDs in Signs
Solar TS40A solar powered TS40 is available that features off-grid power generation and independent flashing control.
• Solar powered with battery backup, no AC power required.• MUTCD section 2A.07 and 2A.08 compliant.
• Installs easily onto any new or existing sign post.
• High intensity LEDs flash in unison, once per second, commanding the attention of drivers day and night.
• Activation options: Continuous 24/7 Flashing, Programmable Timer, or Wireless Push-button.
• Optional LED dimming at night to reduce glare for motorists.
Optional Keyfob Remote Control Transmitter
A keyfob remote can be added to the TS40 to allow for wireless activation and deactivation of the sign. This is ideal for applications where temporary sign activation is required. For example, crossing guards would have the ability to turn on the flashing lights when children enter the crosswalk and then stop the lights when the children clear the crosswalk. The keyfob would also allow firefighters to activate "fire station ahead" signs when exiting their station and merging with traffic. After the keyfob is used to active the lights, the lights will flash for 90 seconds, or until deactivated with the keyfob. The keyfob has a range of 500 feet.
Optional Door Switch Activation
Activates signs when a door is opened.
Optional Photo-Sensor Bollard Activation
Activates signs when pedestrian passes between two bollards.
Optional Push-Button Activation
Provides a simple and convenient way for pedestrians to activate the signs. Wireless or wired push-button activation is available.
Optional Double Sided Configuration
Our double sided configuration is available with an attached 2-1/4" Telespar square tube sleeve. The Telespar sign support system allows for fast and easy installation. Just insert the sign's 2-1/4" square tube sleeve over a 2" Telespar pole, insert the bolts and tighten.

There is, perhaps, no greater frustration than a weight re-gain. It seems we're not surprised when the weight comes back, but when it does, we blame ourselves and our confidence is shaken. It's happened to most of us and it's happened to me–more than once.
Yet something changed the last time I lost weight on Weight Watchers. For the first time, I started to change my lifestyle in a much more fundamental way. I stopped treating Weight Watchers like a diet and started using it as a path to a new way of living. I finally took charge. I'm happy to report that since becoming a Lifetime Member in March 2009, I've kept my weight off and have remained within 5 pounds of my goal weight. So yes, you can truly succeed at losing weight and keeping it off. I'm proud of what I've accomplished, but I'm hardly a hero. I have my struggles just like everyone else, but I'm now better equipped to deal with them.
So, for all of us who have ever regained the weight, please, please, please, please give yourself a break. It happens and, in fact, it happens for a good reason.
Blame it on evolution!
Our human bodies were perfectly constructed for a world of food scarcity. We were given fat cells that allowed us to store energy for long periods between meals. We were given a hormonal system that triggered hunger signals as soon as our energy stores ran low. To encourage us to eat whenever food was available, our brains were wired to make the act of eating pleasurable. Of course, for thousands of years, we did not know when our next meal was going to come. Even in more recent centuries, food could not be taken for granted. As well, virtually everything we ate was prepared by us from simple ingredients in an unprocessed form.
That was then and this is now. The advent of efficient transportation and refrigeration made food much more accessible year-round. Food manufacturers worked aggressively to innovate products, offer variety and give consumers more "value" for their food dollar. Plus, they found new ways to make foods all the more palatable through the use of sugars, fats, salt, etc. Suddenly we were eating all of the time whether we were hungry or not. A body, brain and system perfectly developed for a world of food scarcity was wholly unprepared for a world of food overabundance. It's hardly a surprise that we gained weight. In fact, the obesity epidemic was seemingly all but inevitable.
There's not much point in looking for a villain in this story. We can hardly be surprised that food companies and restaurants sought to grow their business. Or that technology made our lives far more sedentary. Ultimately, we became the beneficiaries of the scourges of affluence.
Can we please stop the stigma and self-flagellation!
The truly sad perversion in all of this is the degree to which the overweight population (most of us) has been set-up to fail and then forced to feel bad about it. Society wags its finger at the overweight and saddles them with stigma. Our self-esteem drops, and we think that if only we had willpower and were stronger, we would finally be in control. In truth, we never really had a chance.
Blaming people for being obese seems like blaming someone who lives in a bad neighborhood for being mugged. Yes, we can learn to protect ourselves in our bad food neighborhood, but ridiculing the victim is hardly a winning path to defeating the obesity epidemic.
We now know enough to be dangerous (in a good way).
We know so much more today about why we overeat than we did five, ten or 50 years ago. We now understand that not all calories are equal, particularly when considering how much energy our bodies use to convert food into useful energy as well as differences in satiety and nutrient density.
We now understand that there are systems in our brains that can make it easier to overeat that have nothing to do with nutrient or energy deficits. This so-called "hedonic" eating system is the wiring in our brains that can lead to over-responding to trigger foods, craving them, and then getting a shot of dopamine when we eat them.
We now understand that in our current food environment, we face a steady and spectacular stream of food choices virtually every minute. It is estimated that we make 200 food decisions every single day, but we are only conscious of 10 to 15 of them. It's no wonder we mindlessly eat with only fleeting recognition that we are doing so.
Given all of the above, it's even more troubling that we would ask people to tap into hidden reservoirs of willpower. Research suggests that willpower -- housed in our pre-frontal lobe -- is not a limitless resource. We now understand that decision fatigue sets in over time, and we eventually give in. When we find ourselves in a food trance, staring down our favorite indulgence becomes a hopeless fight. Simply stated, willpower is horribly over-rated.
So how does success happen?
Everything I've seen from our successful members clearly shows that losing weight and learning to keep it off requires a combination of all of the following:
Welcome to Your Future: Introducing Weight Watchers 360°
I think you know where this is going: We've created a new program that uses the game-changing knowledge mentioned above. For me, this new program represents one of the most important steps into the future that Weight Watchers has ever taken.
It's time for Weight Watchers to provide a simple, engaging program that builds upon the tremendous impact of our PointsPlus® system (introduced two years ago) to help people systematically rebuild their food and activity environment (No, we didn't change the formula, and no, you don't have to buy new books!). We've reached beyond PointsPlus and given our members tools that can help them create small, but deceptively powerful healthy habits. Said differently, the Weight Watchers 360° program is about:
Weight Watchers 360° is designed to allow our members to systematically, yet simply, find the healthy lifestyle that will help them not just lose the weight, but learn to keep it off. This program pushes Weight Watchers and its members into places where we have never been. It takes the suggested and makes it explicit. It shines a light on what needs to be done without being overwhelming.
Having a fantastic new program is not enough.
In creating Weight Watchers 360°, we looked for every way imaginable to make it livable, compelling and fun.
To this end, we are supporting the launch of Weight Watchers 360° with a full assortment of tools ranging from a completely new weekly topic curriculum to a refreshed website, and for our subscribers, a full battery of mobile tools and apps and our new ActiveLink™ integrated activity experience.
All this technology and all these learning tools are incredibly important, but the program becomes truly spectacular when we combine it with the experience that has made Weight Watchers work for so many people in the last 50 years: the Weight Watchers meeting. When we go through the process of losing weight with others we are so much more likely to succeed.
The meeting becomes the force that helps us to stay accountable, creates a ritual of success and gives us the support and sense of belief we need to stick with it and thrive. As a collective group we are much stronger than any of us could ever be on our own.
Weight Watchers is turning 50 in 2013. For half a century, we have been on the ground helping people change their lives, one member at a time. We've seen successes and we've seen struggles. We know them all too well because we've experienced them ourselves. Our members' struggles and victories are our struggles and victories. While our inherent human nature often causes us to trip and fall, the most compelling aspect of our nature is that we are so much stronger than we know. We have learned much over these 50 years, and we now bring all of that learning and experience together to create the program that is perfectly designed for human nature.
Weight Watchers 360° — designed for human nature. Built to harness our strength, and to recognize our vulnerabilities. Through it comes the possibility that we can tackle this issue once and for all. For too long, we've been set up to expect disappointment. Now, we can expect amazing.
Welcome to the next 50 years.

So I'm sure we've all heard of the "Occupy" Movement.
A very strange prostest, especially because its cause or goal do not seem very straightforward.
The people seem simply express their outrage for our current economic shortcomings due to our Capitalist system.
Yet no one purposes a solution, it is a protest trying to reach-out to the people with power to try and enforce change upon the system.
Now I ask you all, what do you think this protest is trying to do?
Would you join it's cause?
Why won't you ? and what will it take to get you that far?
(PS. let's avoid going into the specifics of what's wrong with the global market economy, as that is endless discussion we will not be able to contribute anything of value to)

That "Ooh! Ooh ooh!" That Horshack laugh. When Ron Palillo died Tuesday morning at his home in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., another little nugget of '70s pop culture died with him.
Palillo, best known for playing Arnold Horshak in "Welcome Back, Kotter," which ran from 1975 to 1979, died suddenly around 4:30 a.m. EDT, according to the Palm Beach Post, which said he had not been ill. The actor had been teaching acting for film and camera for three years at a charter school for the arts.
"These were 13-, 14-year-old kids [he was teaching], and they didn't know 'Welcome Back, Kotter,'" Greg Hauptner, founder and CEO of G-Star Academy, told the Post on Tuesday. "The kids went back and watched just about every episode. It drove him crazy, but he loved every minute of it."
PHOTOS: 'Welcome Back, Kotter' -- Where are they now?
Palillo also wrote a play, "The Lost Boy," was artistic director at Palm Beach's Cuillo Center for the Arts, and had numerous theater roles including the off-Broadway production of Lanford Wilson's "Hot L Baltimore," according to Theater Mania.
Palillo's costar Robert Hegyes, who played fellow "Sweathog" Juan Epstein, died this past January at 60 of an apparent heart attack.
"RIP Ron Palillo - Horshack," tweeted Rain Pryor, daughter of Richard Pryor. "I used to impersonate him on stage when my dad or mom performed stand up. I was 5."
A couple of non-celeb types chimed in on Twitter with other examples of what Horshack meant to children of the '70s.
"Sad about Horshack. It explains a lot about me that he was one of my 1st crushes. It explains even more that another one was Soupy Sales," wrote @erdmanmolly.
"Other kids wanted to be Marcia Brady," said @SarahThyre. "I wanted to be Arnold Horshack. Byyyyyyyyyyye, Ron Palillo."

Russian designer Krasnov Igor's Ferrari concept got us to ponder the possibilities of a Ferrari sedan and his newest super car creation, the Muska, causes our brainwaves to communicate one thing: We want one!
Igor has taken visual cues from the Ferrari F430, Saleen S7, Lamborghini Reventon and mashed them all with a healthy dose of sci-fi to create this killer super car concept. The rear of the Muska is certainly the most dramatic with twin, military jet afterburner-inspired tail lights that, while a bit large, serve as a very interesting visual statement.
The likelihood of a car like this ever going into production is slim at best, but who says we can't make our 'vroom, vroom' noises while drooling over these CG images? [via CarDesign.ru]

About Rust
Rust is an open world MMO survival game designed by Facepunch Studios. It takes inspiration from games like DayZ, Minecraft, and STALKER. To survive in Rust you may choose to work together with friends and strangers, scavenging for supplies and building giant bases, or go at it alone, killing other players for loot. Rust aims at being a game that gives players the freedom to play the way that they want, and that doesn't involve a hero and bandit system. With Rust, you will have to use your instinct, not a humanity number, to figure out if you can trust people.
Rust is running on the Unity Engine. You can purchase the Rust Alpha on Steam. The game is updated quite frequently - and it's changing a lot.The game is currently in early alpha. Everything is subject to change. Read through the Frequently Asked Alpha Questions.

Lindsay Lohan deeply regrets her blowout argument with her mother Dina Lohan -- telling TMZ, what she said on the audio recording was NOT true ... her mother was NOT on cocaine during the fight.
Lindsay called in to "TMZ Live" moments ago -- telling us, "I told my dad a really hurtful and untruthful lie about my mom. She was not on cocaine."
Lindsay says her father Michael Lohan betrayed her trust by releasing a recording of her desperate phone call to the media.
Lindsay tells us, turning to her father in a moment of desperation was a massive mistake and she is now "done" with him forever -- adding, Michael "doesn't know what it means to be a father. He doesn't want to be a dad."
Lindsay minimized yesterday's argument, saying, "Daughters have fights with their moms. It happens a lot. It's normal."
Lindsay also RIPS Dr. Phil for the way he conducted his interview with Dina -- calling it "vile" and "disgusting."
TMZ posted audio of Lindsay's phone call to her father, in which she accuses her mother of being on cocaine and acting "like the devil." Lindsay and Dina were on their way home from an NYC nightclub at the time.
During the call, Lindsay also says she gave her mom $40,000 to save Dina's home -- but Lindsay wouldn't comment on that today.
